Setting a recurrence for a task

I seem to be having problems setting a recurrence for a task. Whenever I set one it sets the end date as the date I start the task. Does anyone have the same issue?

I have the same issue. I can set a recurrence but it forces the "end date" to be the due date of the task. The "Date" drop down under Recurrence - End is greyed out and not clickable. Why bother creating this field if you can't set it.

ICalExternalSync "refused a recurrence for a task"

I am having a ton of errors in my console log regarding iCal. It says: "[ICalExternalSync] Refused a recurrence for a task" and then a "/p" and a number that keeps changing on each error code being reported. This is really slowing my computer down as it tries to process this error message. Any thoughts?

Is there a way to allow setting of "Due Date for All Tasks" to current date in OOB Workflow

Is there a way to allow setting of "Due Date for All Tasks" to current date in OOB Workflow
I need to set it today because there are tasks that is needed to be completed on the same day.
Is there a way without modifying the page/form. like a configuration or something?

Hi ,
As Ajeet said, for implement your requirement, you can change the data validation on the Due data field.
You can do as the following :
Open the site with SharePoint Designer 2010
Click on Workflows on the left launch, then find ‘Approval-SharePoint 2010’, click on it
On the Forms section, click ‘ReviewApproval_***.xsn’
Then you can find Due Data for All Tasks, and change the validation
In addition, if you create an approval workflow with SharePoint Designer, you can use a specific date, it contains hour and minute.
I hope this helps.
Thanks,

How to set the Expiration Date for a task which is been assigned explictly.

Hi,
When I assign a task to myself and not work on it for couple of weeks the task is getting released automatically into the original unassigned pool. The TaskActionHandler WSDL is causing that to happen. I don't want a task to be automatically released into the pool when I don't work on it for couple of weeks, how can I make that happen? TaskActionHandler is something which comes with the BPEL so I can't change the way how it behaves. Do I need to set the expiration date or duration explicitly when a task is created?then how do I do that?
If anybody could let me know how to make TaskActionHandler not to release a dehydrated task, I would be glad.
Thanks,
Mythili.

Hi,
Make AUTO RELEASE a restricted action for the task by adding the following line:
<restrictedAction>AUTO RELEASE</restrictedAction>
to the <restrictedActions> tag in the task configuration file.
Works effectively.
Alternatively, you can specifiy the auto release durations on a per task priority basis. There is more on that in the BPEL Dev Guide.

Setting Due Date for task using business days

While this may not be new news to many, I found little information on how to add a certain number of business days to determine the due date for a task to be used in a workflow. For SharePoint 2010 environments that cannot run custom code, I have
found a solution that utilizes two additional columns in the task list. The first column I named
Deadline (a number with no decimal places), which will contain the number of business days until a task is to be completed.
The second I named Business Deadline (a calculated column returning a
Date and Time). The formula for the calculated column is:
=[Modified]+INT(ROUNDDOWN([Deadline]/5,0)*7)+ IF(WEEKDAY([Modified]+MOD([Deadline],5))<MOD([Deadline],5), IF(WEEKDAY([Modified]+MOD([Deadline],5)+2)=7,MOD([Deadline],5)+4, IF(WEEKDAY([Modified]+MOD([Deadline],5)+2)=1,MOD([Deadline],5)+3,MOD([Deadline],5)+2)), IF(WEEKDAY([Modified]+MOD([Deadline],5))=7,MOD([Deadline],5)+2, IF(WEEKDAY([Modified]+MOD([Deadline],5))=1,MOD([Deadline],5)+1,MOD([Deadline],5))))
The workflow on create in the task list then is:
Set Deadline to {number of business days}
then Wait for Deadline to equal {number of business days} 'Necessary to ensure the Business Deadline has been set
'then Set Due Date to CurrentItem:Business Deadline
Hope this helps a few others that are beating their heads against their desks like I was.

Hi,
Glad to hear that you solve this issue, thanks for your sharing.

EC CS Consolidation - How can i set up Consolidation for Corporate Group

I have a task to set up consolidation for a Corporate group that has only the corporate office running on SAP and the other 18 subsidiaries are on other systems . Within the 18 subsidiaries there are 2 companies that are assoicates.The corporate group also does limited accounting transactions approx 4 invoices per month for 3 discontinued companies but not yet divested.
The 18 subsidiaries are also broken down into sub groups by type of operations e.g. Retail, Financial services, Investments, Property etc and these also groups need to be reported in a separate report over and above the Main Group Financial reports and the report must show each group (segment) on its own. -- Is there a Standard report that helps me achieve this kind of reportring
The 2 companies that are assoicates should they be created as a group if they are to be reported as a separate subgroup.
Should i create the 3 discontinued companies as company codes or business area .
If i am to create them as company codes what are the advantages and disadvantages.
If i am to create them as Business Areas how will i incorporate them into Consolidation if I am to use Company Conslidation dimension .
How best can i set up my consolidation structures ..
Please advise

Dear Stanley,
please create two different dimensions:
one for company consolidation with cons units = company codes
one for business area consolidation with cons units = business areas
Do not forget to mark the parent cons unit and create a top cons group.
Cheers,
David

How to set the conditions for item deletion approval workflow?

Hi,
I have created approval workflow for item modifications ie, when user try to modify an item, it will send a mail to Project Manager. For that I set the conditions in Change the behavior of the overall task: 1. When the task process starts 2 . When the task
process completes .
Change the behavior of the single task: 1.when a task is Pending.
[I followed this https://www.nothingbutsharepoint.com/sites/eusp/Pages/5-Steps-to-Enhance-SharePoint-2010-Approval-Workflow.aspx ]
My Requirement is that I want to set this same workflow for the scenario: when the user deletes an item it will send a mail (intimation mail for item deletion) to Project Manager. here i dont want to send modification mails when user deletes an item.
When user modifies an item: 1. intimation mail, 2. Approve/Reject mail 3. intimation for approval / rejection mail.
When user deletes an item: 1. intimation mail.
How can we set it in one approval workflow?? where i have to set the condition for sending either item modification mails or deletion mail.
Thanks,
Praveen ji

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you wanted to start approval workflow when item deleted.
You should first make some changes to trigger the workflow when you delete the item.
You can use the Event Receiver to achieve it.
In order to trigger workflow on item delete you need to create event receivers and from event receiver call the workflow already attached with list.
http://ravendra.wordpress.com/sharepoint-workflow-on-list-item-delete/
You can also create custom action to start the workflow, you can refer to the following article, then modify the workflow as your need.

"No administrator found for the task" in the front end

Hi all,
My issue is, whenever approval request is raised from the front end ( JAVA WEB-DYNPRO), it triggers the workflow through the "sap_wapi_start_workflow" and when the workflow proceeds to the first level of approval, the front end application provides the approver with Approve and Reject options.
On click of approve, from the java webdynpro, the approve status is written in the container using "sap_wapi_write_container" and then a call is made to "sap_wapi_workitem_complete". Upon excution, the message line is "No administrator found for the task" and the return code is "1".
But if we do the same steps from the backend (R/3), the workitem is getting completed without any such error.
Please advice.
Thanks.

Hi Balaji,
I think I have an answer for you. This has happened with us when approving a WD java task using UWL (in our case for travel). The key is the return code of 1.
What has happened is this. The return code actually comes from the function SWW_WI_STATUS_CHANGE_NEW which is called deep in the WAPI wrapper. It means "infeasible_state_transition = 1".
This is due to the fact that after updating the container, your wapi call from web dynpro tries to change the workitem from status of "Ready" to status "Completed". This will not work.
What you will have to do is call "SWW_WI_STATUS_CHANGE_NEW" to set the status to 'SELECTED' beofre setting the item to complete.
The reason for this is that when you are executing from R3, the status change is done for you. When calling from the WD, no reservation of the workitem occurs.
Sorry about last night, I live well outside of town and the phone reception at my place is poor.

Return the scheduled start date from one task to a custom field for all tasks

Hi all
I am trying populate an entire custom task date field with the scheduled start date of one of the tasks. I thought the easiest way would be to:
1) identify the date I need with a custom task flag field set to 'yes'
2) create a formula to look for the 'yes' flag in that field and populate the custom task date field with it.
This worked only for the task where the flag was set to yes (task #36) and the rest of the 49 tasks returned an error message. I'm unsure of how to set this up so that the date with the 'yes' flag populates in this column on
all 50 tasks.
This would also need to scale for situations where there were more or less than 50 tasks.
Thanks in advance...
Using MSP 2010 Pro

ShelleyBrodie,
That's because the syntax of your formula isn't quite what you intend. The correct syntax is:
IIf( expression, truepart, falsepart )
For your case that converts to:
IIf([Flag1],[Scheduled Start],{not sure what you want for the false part but I assume is is not Scheduled Start})
Note, the "Yes" for Flag1 is implied, so the first part (i.e. Scheduled Start) is the truepart, but you don't give a value for the falsepart (i.e in both cases your formula is looking for Flag1 to be "yes". Let's say you want the Date1
field to have the Scheduled Start date if Flag1 is "yes" and to have today's date if Flag1 is "no". Then the formula will be:
IIf([Flag1],[Scheduled Start],[Current Date])
However, As I indicated in my previous response, you won't be able to do what you described in your initial post by using a formula. Are you now trying to do something different?

R1: tcAPIException: Duplicate schedule item for a task that does not allow multiples.

Hi,
I'm struggling with the following task:
I have to assure an account exists for a given resource. I do provision it with the .tcUserOperationsIntf.provisionObject().
I've created a createUser task to create the account.
The task code checks if there is already matching account.
If no account exists, is is created in the disabled state, and the object state of OIM account is set to 'Disabled' by means of task return code mapping.
If it exists, it is 'linked' to OIM account.
The problem is if the existing account is enabled, I have to change the OIM account state to 'Enabled' either.
To implement this (thanks, Kevin Pinski https://forums.oracle.com/thread/2564011 )) I've created an additional task 'Switch Enable' which is triggered by a special task return code. This task always succeeds, and its only side effect is switching the object status to 'Enabled'.
By I've getting the 'Duplicate schedule item for a task that does not allow multiples' exception constantly:

Difference between Due Date for All Tasks and Duration per task in an approval workflow

Hello,
I'm starting to read up and learn about approval workflows in Designer 2010. I am confused by the fields "Due Date for all Tasks" and the "Duration per task". I understand that the Due date for all Tasks is the date that all
of the tasks in the workflow must be completed by. And I understand that the duration means each task has x number of days to complete.
But I dont know whey we need them both. If I have the task duration set to two days and there are 3 tasks involved, then wouldn't the due date be 6 days from the start? Why would I have a due date for all tasks that is completely different than
the sum of the duration of days for each task?
Please help shed some light!

Hi Michelle,
Due date for all tasks, this setting specifies the date by which all tasks are due. It’s used for serial and parallel
task.
Duration per tasks, this setting specifies the date by which an individual
task is due, it’s used for serial workflow participants.
Note, when you create an approval workflow, select task process participants(approvers oob approval workflow), we can also
select once at a time(serial) or all at once(parallel).

Setting dynamic user in Approval task

While setting the user at runtime for approval task, I have created a Task Assignment adapter and associate the adapter in the assignment tab for the approval task. I have used reassignApprovalTasksToUser method of tcRequestOperationsIntf class. I have passed the task instance id as well as the user key. From the system console I am able to find that the adapter is invoked.
I have suppress the standard approval process using tcComplete task adapter.
When the requestor make the request and goto approval details page the system is showing the request is pending to the re-assigned user however when I login into the console using re-assigned user credential no request is pending in his work busket. What I observed, the request is pending in xelsysadm work busket.
Would appreciate if someone let me know the step which I am missing.

Yes, I suppressed the "Approve" Task in standard approval process.
Can you please let me know how to mapped the key type in the task assignment adapter.
I have created two variables in the adapter and mapped those two variables from the assignment tab of the approval task.
I have seen there are two more variables in the Adapters, "Adapter return value for Key type" and "Adapter return value for Key" and these two adapter variables are mapped as "Set at runtime".
How do I map these two variable?
No I do not find any exception with regard to execution of the task assignment adapter in the log.

HT2534 How do I set a acount for my Apple TV

How do I set a acount for my Apple TV

Hi Dennis,
The password (to protected unauthorized access) to your wireless network is set on your wireless router. Typically most routers come with a setup wizard, either that involves running an installation sequence (via CD/DVD) or by connecting to the router via a web-based control panel and configuring the router that way. In addition to setting a password to access the network you'll also want to set a username/password for accessing the router to perform administrative tasks.
You'll want to consult the manufacturer of your router for additional setup assistance, or the manual/quick start guide that came with the product.
