Ses Workflow posting delayed

Hi,
sap Workflow for Service entry sheet is triggered and the user has approved th workflow by using the decesion task , pressing Approve button the workflow log shows the time stamp as 30/04/2010 approval date
But the actual release fo the service entry sheet is carried out by the background job on 03/05/2010
There is 4 days delay in posting of the Service entry sheet
What could be the reason.
Synchonizing buffer?
I have in SDN but could not find any answer for the above query

Hello,
If I understand correctly, you say that the Approve button was pressed on 30/04/2010 and that the next step (posting) did not happen until 03/05/2010
If you look in the workflow log you should be able to see what the workflow was doing for every second, it won't just skip 4 days.
Maybe there was an error due to locking and the workflow job for fixing temporary errors wasn't running, or is running once a day and not at weekends.
In any case, look at the workflow log.

Workflow with delay using ABAP OO

Hi,
I am new to workflow and trying to design a workflow where the workflow should be triggered after certain number of days.
For ex: Suppose the sales order is created. Then, I need to fire parallel workflows for Administrator like -
1) 10 days after sales order is created contact department X
2) 15 days after sales order is created, create dispatch order.
I thought of having a workflow with start event 'ABC' and trigger this event 'ABC' from function module which creates sales order. Then have fork for parallel flows mentioned above. But how can I introduce this delay? I checked wait step, but it waits for an event.
Also, is there any document/weblog which describes creating workflows along with ABAP class(Not using BOR object). I checked this link
/people/jocelyn.dart/blog/2006/06/28/getting-started-with-abap-oo-for-workflow-using-the-ifworkflow-interface,
but it does not give corresponding workflow integration.
Regards,
Srini.

Hi,
sorry it took so long to answer.
It is possible to evaluate the latest end date by expression. Therefore you chose expression in field: Reference date.
To get your requested start, you habe to do some work in advance.
Create two new container elements in your workflow for your sales order end date -10 and your sales order end date.
Create a step that calls a Z-Task (you have to create this one!) where you evaluate your Sales order end date and your Sales order end date-10 and write that back into a container element (please check your binding). Alternative back in your workflow include a container operation as a step, where you calculate your latest start date (Sales order end date-10).
Back in your original Step you can now maintain latest start and end date based on your new container elements.

Forum Post Delay

Why do I get a message that my question in an Application Express forum will be posted at a later time (the post will be delayed)? Is there an issue with my account? I do not understand this. This has happened with my last two posts.

This is likely a new feature, and isn't specific to you.
The site administrators have been working on an eventual upgrade to the software that underpins the entire forum site.
That process has been taking quite a bit of time and is still an ongoing process with no estimate for completion.
(With a forum as huge as this one, with such a global presence and impact, nothing can be expected to happen quickly.)
One of the capabilities used by many other forum web sites is aimed at those people and organizations that spam or try to interfere with the functionality of such web locations as forums. A time interval between when a post is created and when it may visibly appear is common. It allows the forum software to pass a message through some sort of algorithms of examination and filtering.
I have no direct knowledge whether this is what is being done or tested.
It's all a guess on my part.
It just seems that the symptoms are suggesting that as what you have observed.

Workflow Mailer Delays Sending Messages

Greetings,
We recently installed Workflow 2.6.3.5, and have noticed a very strange problem. The Workflow Mailer will propagate messages starting at 1 second, then 2 seconds, then 4 seconds, then 8 seconds, steadily increasing to 240 seconds. Then the messages will propagate for some time at 240 seconds. Then the sequencing resets back to one second, and increases to 240 seconds.
We've opened a TAR on metalink, but Oracle has been veryslow to respond. As a result of the delay in propagation we have almost 2000 messages in our WF_NOTIFICATION_OUT queue that need to be sent.
Has anyone seen this problem and can recommend a solution?
Thanks for your help,
Michelle Detommaso

Hi,
Can you find any errors in the Workflow log file?

How to execute Oracle Workflow Post Notification Function

Hello All,
I have a requirement where I have to approve Expense Reports through a program rather than from notification. For the same I am using below:
wf_engine.completeactivityinternalname(itemtype=>'APEXP'
                           ,itemkey=>'4634686'
                           ,activity=>'APPROVAL_REQUEST'
                           ,result=>'APPROVE');
Now, after executing above procedure I can see that notification is approved but my workflow has not proceed to next node as I think that the function associated with notification has not executed.
Kindly help me on this that how can I approve my expense report and move the workflow to forward so that other functions will execute.
Many Thanks! in advance
Sandy

Thanks! for your reply.
I am using this API outside the workflow.I am using this API for iExpense to approve an Expense Report. In Expenses Workflow below are the processes:
1. AP_MANAGER_APPROVALPROCESS whihc is using NON_AME_APPROVAL_PROCESS and this is using REQUEST_APPROVAL_PROCESS and under this process there is a notification APPROVAL_REQUES. Now, I am completing this ACTIVITY as Approve and I am able to do that but problem is that REQUEST_APPROVAL__PROCESS is itself not getting completed and stuck here.
Please let me know how can I achieve that.
Thansks!

How do you choose which blog to post video to?

we have two group blogs and need the students to be able to post video from podcast capture to both of them but need to be able to choose which blog. Any ideas?

Hi
In fact you don't...Pcp has a property named Group Short Name that define where a workflow posts (you find it in groupblog task) using this means you can post in only one podcasts blog.
They are multiples ways to "automatize" or make it easier:
1. Duplicate workflows: means you have multiple workflows doing same encodings,etc except groupblog, which posts, where you put $$Group 1$$ (previously defined and valued whith the short name of the group 1, group1 maybe,as a custom properties in pcp admin
2. Web controller can handle additionnal userRequirements, one could be name group and called still in groupblog by $$group$$ but users will have to type correctly their group name..source of errors to my opinion..
3. Post to user blogs: see there http://podcastproducer.org/forums/custom-workflows/218313196
4. Hotfolder: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1780728&tstart=0
(5). The best to me but don't exist yet: a dropdown list of groups a user belongs to in podcast capture and web controller to choose the destination group
If i missed one or more, i'll be happy to hear about..!

How do I add a delay to boot time?

Win 8.1 boots too quickly to be able to get into safe mode, sometimes even to get into BIOS. I unchecked the faststart under the power settings. Is there anyplace I can put in a time delay before the windows boot process starts ?
Bill Riggs

You can consider increasing the post delay at the bios level.in most bios hou find such an option.

Workflows | Defining sub-workflows and capturing wfActions

Hi All,
I am trying to define a sub-workflow post which I want to make a jump based on the action taken in the one step sub-workflow. I tried to use the wfActions to find the action taken at a step, but the applet shows the following error:
Offset in runtime evaluation is at character 17. Could not find the parameter 'wfAction'.
I even tried to do a <$wfSet("myvar",wfAction)$> which gave the same error.
I tried to capture this action in the Update section of the script as well as in the Exit section. Has someone used this parameter, has it worked on UCM 10gR3.
Thanks in advance

Two level approval workflow not working

Hi Experts,
I am making a workflow which have two level approval , now the problem is that the first level approver is going only to workflow initiator and if I use any other ID it is not working , it just hangs there.
Secondly if I send the first approval to workflow Initiator and it approves it then it hangs with second decision step.
I have made the agent assignment as general task. I have also checked SWU3 and all the things in that are activated.
Kindly help me in this issue.

Dear Rachit,
There is a dedicated forum for Workflow i.e. SAP Business Workflow
Post your thread there, you will get fast response.
I can suggest you one thing check the agent assignment is done or not

Customizing settings for parked document for edit lock while in workflow

Hi all,
I want to lock a parked document from edit while in workflow, I have seen in my previous project that if any document in workflow if try to change it used to give a message that 'document in wirkflow'. how to set this setting for parked documents using FIPP.
Thanks

Hi,
Please read note 169732.
It is normal that you get this errror message "Park document blocked xxxxxx" if you try to park a document for which "Release necessary" is set but "Released" flag is not set.
Normally in workflow the "Released" flag is set in a background step right before the workflow posts the documents.

Workflow agent not created

We are using employee workflow for last 1 year and there was no problem in using workflow to send the mail
to the supervisor of the person, when the person is hired. This week we got the problem for the first time. In the employee workflow task, the agent was not found (or created), so other task of employee mail was never started. Normally it uses the rule EVALUATE_AGENT_VIA_RULE to get the agent name in the employee workflow but this time this rule
was not called and so no mail was sent to the supervisor. I'm not sure if this is SAP bug or some problem with the customization. I am attaching the successful workflow log and failed workflow log for comparision.

Hp pavilion hpe h8-1070uk - cant boot past post screen - help!!!!!!

Hello,
Please help me HP!
I have a hp pavilion hpe h8-1070uk and recently upgraded the boot disk to a SSD and also installed Windows 8 64 pro. The system ran very well indeed.
After a few months of problem free usage, windows update said that Windows 8.1 was ready to install and all I need do is reboot to install it.
I selected to postpone the install for 4 hours and continued worrking away - I then went to bed and when I came back to the computer 6 or 7 hours later - the Win 8.1 install process was 52% completed but had hung...
On power cycling the system, the PC halts at the post delay screen and if I press Escape as the system boots, the screen shows 'start up menu' on the lower right of the screen (the post delay text remains unchanged) and the systems just hangs...
The lights and fan are on
The keyboard num lock key is on
No disk activity is shown (HD led, etc)
There are no errors displayed on screen or beeping sounds made
I have removed all usb devices and the HD (SSD) to see if this would at least allow the machine to boot and show a missing disk\OS message - this had no effect although the post screen does show a keyboard error - on replugging the keyboard (but not the SSD HD) the system still halts at the post screen with no error shown.
If you can please advise what I can do to resolve this problem - I really need to use the computer and can not see how it could have become damaged - Please, please help!!!

SUCCESS - at least for me (after already shopping on Amazon and Ebay for replacement motherboard).
After reading MANY posts about this in various forums, a common theme was removing hardware. I tried that, and as OP had done, at one point I removed everything including cables from MB to front panel USB ports.
What worked was plugging in the old HDD I had cloned from a couple days ago. Yes, this fixed a booting problem at the POST phase. And I was able duplicate the works/doesn't work circumstances repeatedly after that.
If you haven't solved your problem (it's been a month), I would try a different HDD or putting a bootable DVD or attaching a bootable USB drive (of anything). SOMETHING bootable for a confused boot loader to find (I suspect the boot loader on your HDD got corrupted when Win8.1 didn't install completely).
My setup was a Compaq Vision CQ2723w with Win7 and an EFI boot system. Part of the boot loader resides in NVRAM (presumably on the MB). Things worked fine until I got done setting everything up (including booting from F9 boot menu very often) and removed the thumb drive with a bootable Win7 Install on it and rebooted. Based on what I saw later (bcdedit /enum firmware), there are many duplicate boot manager and USB HARD DISK entries. There is even an entry from the Acronis loader used during disk cloning ... and neither disk was plugged in at the time. Hence my belief that boot loader stuff is stored on the MB. (Microsoft Tech blog talked about the firmware version, but didn't mention physical location).
Long story getting longer ...
I suspect
(1) BIOS searches for bootable devices. How else can it present a newly installed boot source (and it lists HDDs by model number) in the boot menu.
(2) the thumb drive was causing "it's" boot manager settings to be first choice in the MB firmware. When I could get into BIOS, I would put the EFI entry for USB HARD DISK after other EFI entries in the boot order. Whenever I booted Win7 Install from the thumb drive, it would be back on top.
(3) when I booted without the thumb drive installed, the overall boot process was "confused" or partially corrupt somewhere (like on the 250 GB Seagate HDD). I would see 6 entries for "Windows Boot Manager" in the F9 boot menu.
(4) When I put in the old 500 GB Seagate HDD, F9 Boot Menu and F10 Setup worked again. Boot Manager would come back with "no system found" and I had to manually select the 500 GB Seagate from the F9 boot menu. Once that happened, the default choice of Boot Manager in the startup menu worked again. Did the HDD load "it's" boot manager settings at the top of the MB firmware????
At the end, with a "working" system, I replaced the HDD with a cloned SSD (the goal at the beginning of this journey), kept the bootable thumb drive in my pocket, booted from the SDD (listed in the F9 boot menu), and repeatedly booted. A quick peek at the boot menu showed one of the Boot Manager(s) to be the default choice.
I still have multiple Boot Managers listed in the F9 Boot Menu. "bcdedit /enum firmware" still shows a display order with four duplicates for <bootmgr> and six of the GUID associated with USB HARD DRIVE. BUT THE SYSTEM BOOTS!!!!
Now, I just have make sure bootable USB drives do not come within 10 feet (and I'm hanging on to the original 500 MB Seagate that "fixes" the problem when its connected.
Hope this helps you or someone/somewhere/sometime to solve their problem or get one step closer to understanding how all this booting crap really works (or doesn't).
