SP 2013 Workflow Associations - get the content type for associated tasks with PowerShell

I am creating a PowerShell script to document SharePoint 2013 workflow associations on a site. I can get the Subscription object for the workflow association, but I can't figure out how to dig into it to find out the Content Type for tasks generated
by workflows created by this WF association. I can get the Task List ID from the Subscription.PropertyDefinitions, and from there can get the Task List. But the task list may use many different content types, because when you associate a 2013 workflow
to a list, SharePoint adds the workflow's content type to the set of content types used by the workflow task list. If you have a lot of workflows that use the same task list, that task list gets a lot of content types.
I have the Subscription object for the workflow association. How can I divine the content type for tasks that the workflow will generate?

I would suggest you to consider using the SPListItem that running the workflow instance to check the task content type.
First, find the list item that associated with the workflow, then SPListItem.Tasks returns a collection of workflow tasks for the item, you can check the content type from the task item.

Cfhttp and setting the content-type for a request

Hi,
I am trying to set the content-type for a cfhttp request like this (on coldfusion 9):
<cfhttp redirect="no" method="get" timeout="120" url="http://10.0.0.1/test2.cfm">
<cfhttpparam type="HEADER" name="Content-Type" value="application/json; charset=utf-8">
</cfhttp>
// coding on test2.cfm:
<cfset x = GetHttpRequestData()>
<cfdump var=#x#>
// Output on test2.cfm
content
[empty string]
headers
struct
Accept-Encoding
deflate, gzip, x-gzip, compress, x-compress
Connection
TE
Host
10.0.0.1:80
Proxy-Connection
close
TE
trailers, deflate, gzip, compress
User-Agent
ColdFusion
X-REWRITE-URL
http://10.0.0.1:80/test2.cfm
method
GET
protocol
HTTP/1.1
As you can see no content-type is send through. I also tried the sniffer.exe:
GET http://10.0.0.1:80/test2.cfm HTTP/1.1
Host: 127.0.0.1
Proxy-Connection: close
Connection: TE
TE: trailers, deflate, gzip, compress
User-Agent: ColdFusion
Accept-Encoding: deflate, gzip, x-gzip, compress, x-compress
Here you can also see that no content-type was passed through. The sniffer should report back
GET http://10.0.0.1:80/test2.cfm HTTP/1.1
Host: 127.0.0.1
Proxy-Connection: close
Connection: TE
TE: trailers, deflate, gzip, compress
User-Agent: ColdFusion
Accept-Encoding: deflate, gzip, x-gzip, compress, x-compress
Content-Type: application/json; charset=utf-8
But is does not, what do i need todo to set the content-type in a cfhttp request.
Kind regards,
Nebu

12Robots - are you sure about your statement that GET method requests cannot have Content-Type headers? I don't think that that is correct. I've always thought that it was valid (maybe unusual, but ...) and this W3C link weems to agree, especially in the context of its comment about what Content-Type means in a HEAD method request: http://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc2616/rfc2616-sec14.html
The big problem with trying to get around the CFHTTP limitation by using the CGI scope is that the dash is illegal in a CF varname.
There is a custom tag called CFHTTP5 that getsaround a lot of the CFHTTP limitations, including cookie preservation across multiple requests. I haven't used it for a long time (CF5), but it is still actively developed. Costs $50 - http://www.cftagstore.com/tags/cfxhttp5.cfm

How I can get the Billing Type for the sales order and its items

How I can get the Billing Type for the sales order and its items. I mean from which SAP tables and how?

Hi,
You need to use two tables.
First use VBFA. Enter the sales order number in the field Predecessar and the value M in SubCt field. This will give all the billing document number for the sales order items.
Then use the billing document numbers in table VBRK, where in you can get the billing document type.

Getting invalid content type for SOAP: TEXT/HTML exception for Soap Adapter

I am trying to invoke Webservice using SOAP Receiver Adapter

Pls let me know

HI,
see
     Q: What character encoding is supported by the SOAP sender adapter?
           A: The SOAP sender adapter can accept any character encoding supported by the local JDK. When you are using a particular character encoding with content type text/xml, you must make sure that the encoding name given in the content type and in the XML declaration must be consistent. What makes this more complex is that the default values. The default encoding for "text/xml" is US-ASCII, whereas the default encoding for the XML declaration is UTF-8 or UTF-16. The following examples show several valid combinations of content-type and XML declartion:
           text/xml
           <?xml version='1.0' encoding='us-ascii'?>
           text/xml; charset='utf-8'
           <?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?>
           text/xml; charset='utf-8'
           no declaration
           text/xml; charset='iso-8859-1'
           <?xml version='1.0' encoding='iso-8859-1'?>
           application/xml
           <?xml version='1.0' encoding='iso-8859-1'?>
           The response message from the SOAP sender is normally encoded in UTF-8. If you want to change this encoding, for instance to iso-8859-1, you can supply the encoding information with the xmlenc variable in the request URL as in:
           http://host:port /XISOAPAdapter/MessageServlet?channel=p:s:c&xmlenc=iso-8859-1

The content type for office excel 2007 in jsp page and the mime-type in we

Hi,
In my system MS Office 2007 is installed. I am trying to generating excel sheets from JSP page by setting the content type "application/vnd.ms-excel" in jsp page and as well as in web.xml file. I am getting the below message
The file you are trying to open, 'xxxxxxxx.xls', is in a different format than specified by the file extension. Verify that the file is not corrupted and is from a trusted source before opening the file. Do you want to open the file now?
Then finally the excel file is opening and displaying properly. If in my system MS Office 2003 is installed , then the above message is not coming.
I have changed the content type according to Excel 2007 <%@ page contentType= "application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.spreadsheetml.sheet" %> and in web.xml file the mime type to
<mime-mapping>
<extension>xlsx</extension>
<mime-type>application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.spreadsheetml.sheet</mime-type>
</mime-mapping>
even the content type is changed according to office excel 2007 , i am getting the same above message.
My client is asking not to display the above message. So how to prevent that message ?
It's very great if any body reply me as soon as possible.

How can I get the class(ification) for an equipment with BAPI ?

Hello Experts,
I have created an Equipment with a BAPI. ("BAPI_EQUI_CREATE")
and i create the assignment to a (equipment-)class with the BAPI BAPI_OBJCL_CREATE.
When I use another BAPI BAPI_EQUI_GETDETAIL I get all information to the equipment,
but I don't get the information to wich class is it assigned.
How can I get this ?
Thanx in advance

Hi,
As Keshav mentioned you can get the classification data by using BAPI_OBJCL_GETDETAIL
you have to pass the following parameters to it.
CALL FUNCTION 'BAPI_OBJCL_GETDETAIL'
EXPORTING
objectkey = equipment no in your case
objecttable = 'EQUI''
classnum = Class Name
classtype = Class Type
Thanks.

How to get the mime type of the workflow attachment attached to workitem id

Hi Experts,
I can attach different types of attachment to the workitem id, lets suppost the attachment type attached is pdf, for this attachment I have an requirement to send the mime type as well. In this case the mime type is 'application/pdf' for pdf files.(for text file it is 'text/plain' and for zip file it is 'application/zip' and so on)
Do I have any place in ABAP world where I can get the mime type for different types of attachments.
I dont want to hard code the mime types, and I have checked the transaction 'SMW0', but not sure if this is the correct place to get the mime type.
Do you see any other way or tables which stores all these mime types.
Any help/suggestion would be appreciated.
Thanks and Regards,
Neerup.

Hello,
Perhaps this can help:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/ad/ebe5cc1d75aa43a2871717d76f475d/content.htm
If you want to know the table name, turn on tracing (ST05) when accessing the MIME types.

Invalid content type for SOAP: TEXT/HTML on Reciever SOAP

HI All,
I have a reciever SOAP channel setup to send a message and its attachments to a supplier. The recieving application is as follows:
"It just receives the stream or contentStream and print out the content. It's just a test to see what you sent to us. It processes all http/https messages."
If I leave the SOAP Envelope on I get the content type error in the header. If I turn the Enveloper off, I get a successful post. They are try to trap what I send to build a SOAP processor, so they want the SOAP envelope. What could be causing this?
Kind Regards,
Chris

Hi Richard,
The web service address that we must type in target URL of receiver soap adapter is the address to the WSDL. To be sure types this address in your browser and you must see a WSDL code of the webservice that you want invoke.
The reason that you are getting Delivery Exception: invalid content type for SOAP:TEXT/HTML. is because you are trying to invoke a web service with wrong address.
So, when SOAP receiver adapter try to put the message on the target side, it cant and automatically receives an HTTP acknowledge in HTML format. As SOAP adapter doesnt understand HTML code only XML code, it cant recognize what kind of error is and generates an exception indicating that the content type is invalid.
Delivery Exception: invalid content type for SOAP:TEXT/HTML is equal to any HTTP code, I have almost sure that HTTP code is a 404 Not Found, but you cant see it...
Post the URL here for I can check
Cheers,
Ricardo.

Response Content type for WLP Disc API calls

Hi
While using WLP Disc APIs in the portal for AJAX calls, the response content type returned by the weblogic portal server is:
text/x-netuix-json-comment-filtered; charset=ISO-8859-1
This is not getting changed to 'application/json' inspite of setting this as the content type for a JSF JSP.
Probably, looks like a bug.
We have a JSF portlet in which we need to make an AJAX call.
Please refer to the weblogic whitepaper for the AJAX examples (weblogic-portal-jsf-whitepaper.pdf).
The example works fine in the dev/build environment. When the portal server is accepting calls through Sun One webserver,
the logs from the webserver show the response content type from the portal server as "text/x-netuix-json-comment-filtered; charset=ISO-8859-1"
- I tried changing the content type to "application/json" in the JSF JSP (as per the example from the pdf file). Still the content type does not change.
- The response from the portal server is suffixed with "\n\r\t". Because of the trailing space/carriage return chars in the portal server response, the sun one webserver is unable to parse (or) eliminate the "\r\n\d" chars to the browser. When the browser receives a response (with the trailing chars), the module.js (weblogic wrapper API for DISC calls) fails.
- The module.js tries to check whether the response from portal server ends with "**/" but unfortunately, the weblogic protal server returns
"/** %json response%**/\n\r\d"
I found a workaround to this issue by having a filter for the JSF JSP which sets the content type as "application/json" and does a flush() before it makes a call to the JSF JSF which responsds to an ajax call. This works as the content type is set and flushed first so any attempt by the portal server to set as "text/x-netuix-json-comment-filtered" does not get reflected in the http response.
Any support/fix from oracle regarding this will be helpful as most of the webserver integration with the portal server happens during the middle of the project build and might lead to a technical risk.
Server details: WLPS 10.3, Sun One 7.0
Thanks
Ananth Krishnan

The problem as you can see is only related to the URL because the webservice is not expecting the URL. Have you changed the wsdl also for the new scenario? The URL can be rechecked to the one present in the wsdl at bottom of it.

Prateek

Good Morning,
Log into the server with an account that has appropriate Exchange rights, not a local account.
Note: By default - Domain Admins don't have Exchange rights.

Visual Studio 2013 deploying incorrectly the content types of a document library

Hello everyone.
I created a SharePoint farm solution in VS 2013. I add four content types (say, C1, C2, C3, C4, based on the Document content type) and I create a couple of document libraries (say, L1, L2). Now I add C1 and C2 to L1, and add C3 and C4 to L2.
When I deploy the solution from VS, I go to the site and found out that L1 has C1 and C2, as expected. However, L2 has C1 and C2 instead of C3 and C4.
I have reviewed for hours the xml files (Elements, Schema, etc.) and all IDs seem to be correct and all properties are in order.
Has anyone come across a problem like this? Any thoughts will be really appreciated, as I'm clueless and frustrated at this point, after hours of dealing with this problem.
Thanks in advance!
Best regards

Hi Sohel, thanks for your reply.
No, I don't add them programmatically, I added the "Content Type" and "List" items to the VS solution. It generated some files, including Elements.xml and Schema.xml. Then I used the integrated VS designers to add the content types to
the list. A very run-of-the-mill solution, I think, nothing too fancy.
One thing I noticed is that I created a feature, and everytime I add a new list, instead of using the existing feature, it creates a new one, which I delete, and then add the list to the existing feature using the designer.
Finally, something weird happened today. I opened my VS, opened the solution and there was several feature files created out of the blue by the VS. I thought something was messed up with the Visual Studio Online connection, but it happens anyway when working
in disconnected mode.

Why do I not get the checkout option for a pdf type document when clicking on the document link in the SharePoint workflow task?

We are trying to use workflows to review and edit pdf files in sharepoint 2010. We are having a couple of issues and am hoping someone has the answer.....
1) When myself and coworkers click on the pdf document in the library, we get the check out option as expected. However when we click on the document
link in a workflow task (on the sharepoint site), the pdf opens as a temporary file and we do not get the check out option. Why does this happen?????
2) The same thing happens when we click on the document link in the workflow task email; HOWEVER, one of our co-workers does get the
check out option when clicking on the link in the email task. Why would she get the checkout option using the email and not when clicking on the link in the task list on the sharepoint site ???? We have compared our internet settings and adobe
settings to ours and found no differences.
We are using Sharepoint 2010, Windows 7, IE8, Adobe Reader X or XI. Some of us have Adobe Pro X and have the same issues.

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you could not get the checkout option for a pdf type document when clicking on the document link in the SharePoint workflow task.
I try to reproduce the issue, however, no matter when I click the pdf type document in the library or click on the pdf document link in the workflow task email, it download the pdf doucment and then I can open it.
It will be better if you can descript how you
get the check out option as expected when you click on the pdf document in the library.
Then I upload a
word type document to the library, no matter when I click the word type document in the library or click on the word document link in the workflow task email, I can open the word document directly and get the check out option as expected.
I recommend to use the other type docuemts to check whether the check out option works.
Thank you for your understanding.
Best Regards,
Linda Li
