Sequence of approvals

Could you tell me, what is the best way to organize sequence of approvals?
For example, when the user have been created, this process must be approved by Manager1 and after that it must be approved by Manager2 (or Manager3).
Should i modify current workflow with extra activities or may be there is more simple way?
Thank you!

The "sequence of approvals", as you refer to it, is not something that is fixed or pre-determined in IDM.
Rather, it is something that you decide for yourself, according to your needs (or your company's needs). And, based on these needs, you design the workflow accordingly.
For example : User Created ----> Manager One Approves -----> Manager Two approves -----> Manager Three REJECTS -----> Sent back to Manager Two for Re-evaluation..........
etc, etc, etc
It's up to you.

Release strategies for purchase requisitions

Hello,
I'm having trouble with profiles and roles for release strategies, this is the scenario:
-for purchase requisitions we have two approval levels, release code S1 and S2. When release code S1 is cleared, then S2 must be approved. The head of a certain purchasing group will use S1 to approve the requisitions from his own department, and then the financial director will approve with S2. However, finance is also a purchasing group, so in some instances the finance director will have to approve with S1 and then S2.
My question is: how can we use profiles and roles so that the finance director has access with S2 to all (*) purchasing groups, but with S1 for only a certain purchasing group (in this case "500")? we can't seem to be able to define certain purchasing groups to different release codes, purchasing groups must be defined at purchsing requisitiom level.
Many thanks
Daniel

HI,
Not necessarily, you just need a different strategy for each different combination of release codes involved.
So if certain P groups need to be put through a different sequence of approvals, then have one new strategy for this group of P groups and one for the other combination of P groups.
Or however many different variations you have.

Export Center-Crop (4x3) quicktime from a 16:9 Sequence.

Hi, I'm currently working with DVCPRO HD 720p material on a project which is intended for standard definition NTSC broadcast. The material was framed to be center-cropped (losing the left and right sides of the image), and the offline process is very easy with my Kona card, as I can set it to do the center crop as I send it to my NTSC edit monitor.
However, to make 4x3 quicktimes, I need to jump through a few hoops. At this point, I'm exporting 16:9 quicktimes and going through After Effects, just so I can control how it looks. I know I could do something similar in a Compressor "crop" setting, but I wanted to know if there was a way to achieve this in Final Cut Pro. I've tried making an NTSC sequence, but obviously FCP won't let me cut the 720p sequence into the NTSC sequence because it won't let me mix timebases.
Thanks in advance.

For the end of the process, yes, I would probably lay it to tape and down convert it. What I'm trying to come up with is a method for easily creating standard definition quicktimes for the offline approvals process. This is just a way to view rough cuts. What I'm trying to avoid is extra steps like laying off to tape.
you're wanting to a down-conversion from 720p to run
of the mill ntsc video, correct?
there's a lot more going on with this procedure than
just a 4:3 crop. the best thing to do would be to
export and print to tape these hd sequences, have a
hardware based down-conversion done at a dub house
and record the output.
that being said, compressor is supposed to do format
conversions like this but i've never tried it. from
page 195 of the compressor 2 manual:
Downconvert high definition (HD) video sources to
standard definition (SD), or
upconvert SD to HD. "
investigate and give it a shot.

Why self-defined access sequences of free goods can not work?

Hi gurus,
I have maintained access sequences of free goods self-defined.but when i creat the SO it does not work!
when i used the standard access sequences ,it is OK .
Can anybody tell me why?
thanks in advance

Dear Sandy,
Go to V/N1 transaction select your self defined access sequence then go in to the accesses and fields and check all fields are activated.
Make sure that these fields are flowing in your sales order.
I hope this will help you,

Is there a way to create a renaming preset where the sequence starts at the number "0" zero?

What I am trying to achieve is the following:
Fro example, I am photographing a handbag and I need to rename the file using a barcode and a barcode scanner.
My sequence of images goes like this:
Image 1: Tag shot
Image 2: Front
Image 3: Back
Image 4: Inside bag
Let's say the barcode once scanned produces a code such as TRE8801AZT16-Z
Right now my current preset is "Custom Text_Image # (1)"
This results with the images being renamed as:
TagShot: TRE8801AST16-Z_1
Front: TRE8801AST16-Z_2
Back: TRE8801AST16-Z_3
Inside bag: TRE8801AST16-Z_4
What I need is the sequence to start at zero so the tag shot is _0 and my images are named like this:
TagShot: TRE8801AST16-Z_0
Front: TRE8801AST16-Z_1
Back: TRE8801AST16-Z_2
Inside bag: TRE8801AST16-Z_3
Is this possible? If yes, how?
Thanks for the help

About as close as you can get is to right-click on a single clip and Make Multiclip Sequence. Hit OK to make an sequence out of the single clip. Open the sequence made and delete the multiclip and edit the clip you want back into the sequence.

All of a sudden I can no longer toggle or clip angles in multiclip sequence

Hi,
I've got a project with a number of sequences, videos, angles, etc and all of a sudden I can no longer toggle between angles in the sequence timeline. It was working last night and then stopped and it's still unresponsive. Every time I click to switch an angle or cut to an angle I get the alert beep.
I am not out of disk space and haven't changed any settings as far as I am aware of.
Thanks

Not sure what the deal is...have you added any new software or upgraded/updated anything since this started?
Have you tried opening an autosave version, to see if it works there?
Trashed prefs, run disk utility?
I'm not sure I've ever heard an 'alert beep', so would wonder if the drive is failing.
Can you be a little more explicit about exactly how it 'stopped working'...were you right in the middle of working on it, or had you stepped away for a bit?
Have you tried shutting down, then rebooting after 15-20 minutes?

New Access Sequence for Free Goods Determination

Hi Guru's,
I Have a scenario wherein i have to maintain the free Goods Condition records in VBN1 with a new access sequence namely Customer/Distribution Channel/Plant/material.
I have maintained all the necessary settings such as Free Goods Activation for Item Category, Assignment of free goods pricing procedure to my sales area,Positioning of R100 condition type in my pricing procedure with relevenat routines.
At my Sale order level after maintaining the free goods condition record in VBN1 in new access sequence, my free goods determination is not happening and at the sme time if i maintain it in the standard access sequence i.e. in Sales Org/Dist.Channel/Customer/material the free goods are getting determined.
Can anybody help me out in this..
Regards
Bhushan

Hi
There arew 2 things to be done or checked
1. Position your access sequence before the standard one by giving step nos accordingly
2.In the existing sequence check for the exclusive indicator in the standard sequence and i think that is ticked in your case
Hence after getting the condition record in the standard sequence the system stops searching for the new records in your new access sequence
If that is the casethen remove exclusive indicator from the standard one and tick the same in your new access sequence
By this you can get the condition records of your new access sequence without positioning
Pls reply whether mu suggestion has helped you

How to keep messages in sequence of different interfaces (using queues?)

Dear experts,
I'm running a scenario in which a job in one system creates and deletes orders in another system via XI (using idocs). I'm sending 100 times more creations than deletions.
These are two different interfaces. Therefore they use different queues.
My problem now is that sometimes a deletion enters the target system before the the creation of this order has taken place. Because the queue is much shorter for deletion, these are processed earlier.
How can I make sure that message from two different interfaces enter and then exit xi in the same sequence? Is it possible to assign them to the same outbound queue?
Please advice.
Thanks in advance.

How to populate sequence in a text item in a form

I have a text item in a form.I want that the doc_id i.e the text item should be automatically populated with the help of sequence.I have created sequence named seq_doc_id.on which trigger i should write the code so that everytime the doc_id gets incremented by one. What should be the code.Can anyone gv me some hint.Do i have to use the loop for this?Please help

Hi,
I implemented a when-new-block-instance that does just that,
however due to navigation problems the trigger fires when it should not
the result is I got holes in the sequence.
Is there a system variable status to check with an If test
to make sure the sequence is called only at inserting time?

How to? Populate sequence in 2 Entities comprising 1-1 View Object

Hello all,
In my DB model, I have modeled sub types of an entity by having a main table with the common fields and then separate tables (with 1-1 relationship) to the main table with the fields that are specific to each type. Each of these tables has an ID column as the PK. I have created a trigger on the main table to auto-populate the ID from a sequence. If I have a VO based upon 2 of the entities (in a 1-1 relationship), how can I get the sequence # from the main table in order to populate the specialized table?

The TreeViewAdaptor is responsible for mapping your custom data to the tree view itself. I almost always start by making it return some fixed number of objects with names "item 1" etc. That way you get the tree view working first.
Then, after you get it laid out and displaying properly, you can worry about using real data. At that point, you have your adaptor return the actual number of items in your list and each individual item. Then you can populate your list when you push your button and then invalidate the IControlView of the tree view widget to cause it to redraw. At that point your adaptor will get called and your data should appear.

What does it take GG to replicate Sequence

Hello All,
We have sequences which create values used for Primary Key. We are on the process of creating replication between Oracle Databases.
I was going through the documentation, it has certain steps mentioned which is mostly for initial data load. (Installing Support for Oracle Sequences in Oracle Installation and Configuration Guide 12.1.2)
My question is do I need to follow those steps for online change synchronization also? Or we can skip ?
Thanks,
Basu

Hi Basu,
Yes, The Oracle documentation is always correct. You can follow the steps which they have mentioned in the link

Media Encoder CC won't import a JPEG sequence to the queue

I am running Media Encoder CC 7.2.2.29 (64-bit) on OSX 10.9.4.
I have a JPEG sequence GoPro timelapse image sequence that I want to encode into a video clip. All files have a .jpg extension. They are 4000x3000 and have an RGB color space. The Color profile is SRGB IEC61966-21. All images are 3.9MB.
According to the ME help I should do the following.
To add an image sequence, choose File > Add Source. In the Open dialog box, choose the first file of the image sequence. Enable the Sequence Import checkbox for your file type, and then click the Open button.
I follow the instructions and select the first image in the sequence. The "JPEG File Sequence" checkbox is active and I check it and click the Open button. The dialog disappears and nothing happens. There are no warnings.
How does one get JPEG sequences to import to the queue?
Please advise.
-Travis

Yes, import into premiere work fine. The nice part about using AME directly is you don't have to have to create a project or use an old one every time you want to crunch a timelapse. Also, AME has this nice feature where it will autoname the output file IMG[FirstStill]-[LastStill] (ie IMG[GP001234-GP001297]). This was helpful because GoPros change the first number in the sequence every time you stop and start time lapse.

Media Encoder CC 2014 using cached versions of Precomps in AE and Nested Sequences in Premiere?

I'm seeing this weird thing where Media Encoder is using older versions of certain assets when exporting a Premiere Pro CC 2014 sequence. I'm seeing issues with nested sequences...Media Encoder uses an old version of a linked AE comp or it doesn't render a certain video track. With linked AE comps...I'm seeing Media Encoder use an earlier version of a precomp within the main comp.
When I look at the video in the Export Settings dialogue in Media Encoder, the old version of the AE comp shows .
If I look at the Export Settings dialogue in Premiere, it's up to date and looks right.
Anyone dealing with this or found a workaround? Thanks!
Calvin

I don't think I'd call this issue expected behavior...at best it's anticipated behavior that's going wrong. The only reason I wouldn't call it expected behavior is because what I'm seeing is AME reverting to a cached state on a FRESH LOAD of a sequence to render directly from Premiere. Basically, AME isn't open...sequence looks fine in PPro...load into AME via PPro export...look at export settings dialog in AME and note that the sequence is the old/cached version. So, it's not like the export was already in AME and THEN I made changes in PPro. It appears AME might be incorrectly identifying the newly imported sequence for export as an older, cached version.
However, I didn't get a chance to test your original solution so I'll try that the next time I see it happen. I also fixed the issue by clearing out the media cache and databases. NOT an elegant solution at all and TOTAL overkill...but it did work.
Thanks for the links!

ISE 1.2 Patch 2 External RADIUS Server Sequence Broken?

Hi community,
We have upgraded our proof of concept ISE 1.2 lab to Patch level 2.
Our lab design includes the use of external RADIUS servers which we off-load certain authentication rules to.
To ensure resiliency of the external RADIUS service, we have two of these which we add to a RADIUS Server Sequence, the idea being that if the first in the list is unavailable, ISE will try the second and all will be well.
Now this worked for us in testing ISE 1.2, but I have noticed that after the upgrade to Patch 2 ISE is sending the majority RADIUS traffic to the first (failed) external RADIUS server, with only the odd RADIUS Access-Request to thte next in the list.
Anybody else come across this??
All helpful comments rated!
Many thanks, Ash.

I couldn't find any known issues with this feature. Could you please paste the screen shot of external radius sequence and configuration. Also, how are we determing that the first server in the sequence is DEAD?
