Simple workflow with AQ

I've set of operations , which can run with depecdency between ( for example ,
when a new message come -several subscribers can process it), BUT an ending
operation must be performed after all those operations finished (for example ,
releasing some resource -clean stage areas).
can I defined a subscriber which will get the message , after others subscribers
has process the message ?
or instead define another queue , which get the message after all subscribers
has process the message ?

Hi Brampurnot,
I have created supplier via create Supplier via workflow from a custom supplier type which has workflow attached to a custom phase. After creating the Supplier and when it was in Created phase I found supplier in My supplier workflow Activities
under For manual Phase change. Then when I changed phase to the Approval attached phase, I found the supplier in the channel for the approver attached at that phase.Then after when the Approver approved the supplier , the supplier was visible in the "search supplier" to me!.. Hope it helps regarding the Supplier workflow..
And coming to registering through Form I thought you might be mentioning Supplier registration at Buy Side! .
Supplier Self registration seems not to be enabled yet on my application , so I dint have idea that it exists. Would let you know if I can try that scenario.

Starting workflow with HTTP-Post

Hello,
like I wrote in Starting workflow with HTTP-Post I have a problem with starting a workflow with a http-post:
I have an installation of SAP ERP 2005 SR2 IDES on Win2003 SR2 SP2 and want to start a simple workflow with an external application. Therefor I created an elementary test-workflow and set the general task flag so everybody is allowed to start it. So far everything work fine as I start it manually.
Now I want to start the workflow by an external application over a HTTP-Post as described in
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_47x200/helpdata/EN/54/de9e3887d6174fe10000009b38f842/content.htm
I configured the webserver (Customizing Web-Server) as follows:
Service: WebFlow (Intranet)
Address: http://192.168.0.216:8000/
Path: SAP/BC/WORKFLOW_XML/?
and sent a post via perl to http://192.168.0.216:8000/SAP/BC/WORKFLOW_XML/?protocol=01&localkey=WS99900004
<?xml version="1.0" ?>

Did I forgot something essential?

Hello Daniel
It's 6 years after you posted your question, but I found your post very useful and thought it would be worth updating for future reference.
I've just managed to trigger a workflow via http.
URL :
http://server.domain:8000/sap/bc/workflow_xml?sap-client=110
Java :
URL obj = new URL(url);
URLConnection con = (URLConnection) obj.openConnection();
String userpass = "username:password";
String basicAuth = "Basic " + javax.xml.bind.DatatypeConverter.printBase64Binary(userpass.getBytes());
con.setRequestProperty ("Authorization", basicAuth);
con.setRequestProperty("Content-type", "text/xml");
con.setDoOutput(true);
DataOutputStream wr = new DataOutputStream(con.getOutputStream());
wr.write( xml.getBytes("UTF-8") );
wr.flush();
wr.close();
You can then read the response.
I found that until I added the sap_client parameter I couldn't debug in CL_HTTP_WORKFLOW_XML->IF_HTTP_EXTENSION~HANDLE_REQUEST. Then I found that the content type has to be "text/xml".
I set the xml variable (the data sent to ECC) to :
<?xml version="1.0" ?>
<WfMessage Version="SAP.1.0" xmlns="http://www.wfmc.org/standards/doc/WF-XML">
<WfMessageHeader>

Simple workflow question

Hi,
I started implementing a simple workflow and now I have a problem and I don'z know how to solve it using the technology of SAP-workflow.
I created two workflows in SWDD (WS...). The first workflow calls the othe workflow in a special case. This is done by using a standard link with a activity (linked to WS instead of TS).
Now I want to have that all the activities implemented in the second workflow should be done by one user of a group of user.
The problem I now have is that in every step of the second workflow (e.g. user decisions) I have to set the agents. In my case this is a group of users. So the problem occurs if agent A1 makes the first descision, another person B2 can do the following steps of this workflow.
What I want to have is something like "a workitem with several steps included", that means when agent A1 selects the workitem, the following steps should only go to this agent and not to every agent that is in the group of persons for that task.
Hard to describe I think. I hope you understand what I tried to mention here...
Thank you for your support!
Markus

Hi.
I am not sure if I understod correctly, but maybe I did.
First step: I assume that you have several agents for this step, and anyone can execute it? Well, you can bind the container element actual_agent from this step back to the workflow. The actual agent will be the user who completed the work item (or step). You can bind the element to for example an element called LastAgent (that you need to create to your workflow container).
Following steps: Instand of using the same rule (or agent finding logic) as you did in the first steps, you can now use an expression in the agent determination. And the expression should be now the LastAgent. Easy.
Now all the following steps will be seen only by the agent who completed the first step.

Error when associating workflow with Task Content Type

Using SharePoint Designer 2010, I have created a simple workflow that sends an email out when a tasks due date has past. I created this as a Global Workflow and then tried to "Associated to Content Type", selecting "Task". I am then taken
to... COMPANY PORTAL--> Site Settings--> Site Content Types--> Task--> Add a Workflow. When I try to associate the new "Global" workflow and select OK I get the following error...
Error
Workflows may not be associated with content types whose base is on 'WorkflowTask'.
I have looked up the error but find no real explination of what it means. And I have associated global workflows with custom content types and never had this issue.
So what's going on?
Thanks
Steve
Thanks in advance for your time. Steven

Hi ,
I understand that when you bind the workflow to Tasks content type, there is an error. I can reproduce this error. This is because we cannot add a reusable workflow to a workflow tasks content type. When you add the reusable workflow to the Tasks content
type, you must have checked the ‘Add this workflow to all content types that inherit from this content type’. In this way, the workflow will be added to all the Tasks content type and workflowtasks content type. There will an error. After you close the error
message, the workflow is added to the Tasks content type.
The workaround is the check No to ‘Add this workflow to all content types that inherit from this content type’.
Thanks,

Set up Workflow with Lotus Notes

Does anybody know a procedure or a guide to configure the Sap Workflow with Lotus Notes?
I would like to do a scenario looks like follow:
- a user create a purchase order on Sap;
- the workflow system sends a email to an approver (to Lotus Notes);
- the approver reads the email and can approve or reject. This step is done inside Lotus Notes.
Thanks in advance for any help.
Renato.

Hi ,
You can achieve it in following simplest
1. Create a simple BSP page for approval and Rejection.
Send the link of this page in the mail to the lotus notes server . Lotus notes user will open the mail and he will click on the link to get the BSP page .
Handle the process that should happen after the user makes an action in the "OnInputProcessing" event of the BSP page.
Pls reward if useful.

Workflow with validation

Please help :
I've created simple workflow chain including 4 steps - start, process, validate and stop. But after launching I've got error message "Unable to launch job. Step 'Validate' has the following error: Invalid validating record id(s) in Validate field". Validation works well without workflow, so I don't know the reason of error.

Hi Artur,
Kindly verify you followed the steps given below for Validation workflow:
1. In the Workflow design stencil validation property should carry the following attribute values
Validation : Should carry the validation name rather than the rule.
2. try to SAVE the same with other steps too.
IF issue still exist kindly revert to me.
thanks

"Content Less" workflows with WebCenter Content

Hi,
"BPEL Process Engine" comes along with WebCenter Content for restricted use (for developing workflows/processes within or between WebCenter Content components only).
And as per the documentation only Basic (human triggered workflows with a document etc) and Criteria (auto triggered by an event - uploading a document etc.)
But, can we create a workflows without a document/content? E.g. a simple workflow of leave application where no document upload is required. Or a simple process for Customer on-board where there is no document involved.
Can anybody help me in understanding this?

Hi ,
For that you would have to set Metadata Only check-in which does not need a primary file . What it does is use the check-in form details and creates a file by itself (without having used any primary file) and creates the assets .
So , from the WF point of view there need not have any changes . Only thing is from WCC check-in side .
For details please check the following links:

Simple Workflow proces

I am trying to create a simple workflow process; using OW4J it starts calls a java class and then ends.

Thanks.

Hello,
We are working on an integration project using interconnect 4.1 and workflow.
In interconnect we use content based routing, for workflow we defined routing rules.
When using the workflow integration we succeeded in receiving an event FROM
interconnect TO workflow (WF_IN agent), when we complete the workflow proces (simple approve)
we want to send an event back FROM workflow TO interconnect : but we don't know
how to do this!
- To which Agent do we have to send our event using the workflow builder (to agent, out agent?) ?
- How do we have to define that agent (adress, Queue Handler, Queue Name, direction)?
- Is there any documentation about this?
Greetings,
Jan Marckx Hi,
I remember feeling your pain. Hope I'm not too late, or that you got it already.
You sound like you already have two routing rules for your event
APP1 -> WORKFLOW, WORKFLOW -> APP2.
You need to create a process bundle in iStudio in Design mode with some Publish and Subscribe
activities under it.
In the Deploy tab, right click on Workflow and Deploy Event definitions to Workflow Bus. System
and create the .wft file.
Go into WF and check if the events show up in the Events page.
Go into WF Builder and open the .wft file.
Look for your Publish and Subscribe events in Processes and open the diagram.
Click on the processes in the diagram to see the Event Name, Agent, Action etc. They should all
be correctly generated) You need to look at the properties in the instance of the event (in the diagram) and not in the navigator.

Best camera workflow with FCE???

I am in the market to buy a new camera. I really like the new Sony PMW EX3, but you need some sort of 3rd party software to trasnfer the files to Final Cut Express.
My question is this...what is the best camera that you've found to do workflow with FCE HD? I would like something that doesn't take long to download (captures on hard drive) and is HD with preferably 1080. Any suggestions???

If you want to keep things simple and get reasonable quality you need an HDV or AVCHD camera.
Remember that if you want to make Hi-def DVDs you will need to buy a Blu-ray burner for hundreds of dollars and everyone who wants to view your DVDs will need a Blu-ray player or a PS3 (again hundreds of dollars) and an HDTV. Plus every disc will cost many dollars instead of a few cents.
All this extra stuff will cost as much as many cameras.
P.S. This was written over an hour ago before I knew what that camera was. (I couldn't send my reply then because my internet connection went down!)

Single step workflow with multiple approvers (without using a group)

Hi,
is it possible to have a single step workflow with multiple approvers without using a group? This is for a contract document.
i want to add a number of users based on particular logic. The approvers are random and do not belong to any particular group.
DO let me know if it is possible or if any of you have done that.
thanks in advance.
regards,
rubio

Hi Rubio,
I believe the behavior would be, if individual users are added as approvers then the system would require each approver to approve the document. However, if you use the user group, you could set the role so that it would be either ALL or ANY.

Vikram

Allow a simple form with "data" to be saved by the user.

Back in version -x, it used to be so simple. You created a form that could be read in a web browser. Users could could fill out the form and save the form to their computers with their data. Since that first version that allowed that, Acrobat has not progressed in logical fashion. In a later version, you couldn't save the data. Then in another version, you could again save the data. Now you have some nice interactive features. I appreciate the new developments and see where they could be a godsend. However, the simple thing that I used to be able to do in version -x, and the thing I most want to do, I can no longer do and it is frustrating.
Here's the situation: we have an announcement on the web for Vacation Bible School. We want to have a pdf with a form that people can fill out online and save to their disk (as their copy of the registration form) and then print out one copy of the form so that they can send it along with their check for the registration fee. Why should that be so difficult?
If it weren't for the fact that people have to send in checks, one of the fancy new options would work. But it is not applicable in this situation.
Here are my current options:
I can "distribute" an emailable form (which I don't want to do) and then explain to the user that they should not hit the "submit" button but save the file to their disk. (First rule of public relations - Don't confuse the public!) It works in the last version of REader 8+ and in Reader 9.
I can save the form without distributing it. But the user can't save it with the data!
Please, PLEASE, PLEASE. Allow a simple form with "data" to be saved by the user.
Peace and blessings
Barbara

Thanks for a quick response.
In Acrobat *8 or 9 Professional you can enable a form to be activated with the save feature.
How do you do this. When I saved the form without distributing it, and opened the form up in Acrobat Reader, the header said specifically that the data could not be saved in the form. And when I went to save it, I got the message in a popup that said "Data in this form will not be saved. Reader can only save a blank copy of this form." Then a second message (with a light bulb) said: "Please print your completed form if you would like a copy for your records."
So, if in fact I can have the form (without "distributing" it) so that the user can save the form with the data, how do I do that? Are there commands I use, options? Please let me know. I will be eternally grateful.
Also, if you edit form fields, you may remove the submit button.
The edit form fields does not offer any access to the submit button.
Best,
Barbara
