SRM BADI Workflows - Cannot set step description text

Hi all,
We are implementing the shopping cart n-step BADI workflow (WS14000133). I have implemented  the method 'GET_REMAING_APPROVERS' of BADI 'BBP_WFL_APPROV_BADI', and in the table APPROVAL_TABLE, we should be able to store a customer specific text in the field APPROVAL_DESCRIPTION.
However, despite changing the text in this field successfully, the apporval preview does not show our customer specific text for the workflow step.
Is this feature not working any more, or is there some config or OSS note needed to get it working?
Thanks,
Nick

Thanks for finding this,
Having seen the correction details in the note, it seems SAP have reversed part of the note.
Function 'BBP_PDH_WFL_APPROVER_SET' in SRM Server 5.5 SP 9 has the following code, showing the correction from the OSS note commented out:
    IF iv_node_id IS NOT INITIAL.
      LOOP AT it_insert_agent INTO lt_help_app_wa.
        gt_wf_approver-node_id = iv_node_id.
        gt_wf_approver-dispagent = lt_help_app_wa-dispagent.
begin of pilot 858263 note
       concatenate gt_wf_approver-dispagent
                   gt_wf_approver-approval_description
       into        gt_wf_approver-dispagent
       separated by space.
end of pilot 858263 note
I guess I need to create a customer message asking SAP to put the fix back in!
Regards,
Nick

    No one will take your word for "ACR latest version", and "PS CC latest VersionVersion [sic]", as many users believe they are fully updated when they are not. Exact version numbers are needed.
    8 GB is considered the realistic minimum to run Photoshop CC, but it's far from optimal—on any platform.  There are other factors that can be at play and which you don't specify, such as the space available on each of your hard drives, whether you have a physically separate, dedicated hard drive for Photoshop's scratch drive, what video card you have and how much VRAM does it have, what your graphics settings are in Photoshop's Preferences > Performance, etc.

  • Cannot set text field contents

    here is my code so far.
    global theWatchedFolder
    on clicked theObject
    set theWatchedFolder to choose folder
    set contents of text field "hfDirectory" to theWatchedFolder
    end clicked
    when i click on the button theObject it brings up the prompt to choose a folder.
    but it kicks out with the error
    Can't set <<class texF>> "hfDirectory" to alias "path to my selected folder"
    All i want is the path to the folder i selected to show up in the text field.
    what am i doing wrong
    thanks in advance,
    Pendal

    Two thoughts.
    theWatchedFolder is an alias, so you might need to coerce it to text.
    Secondly, you are ambiguous about which field to set - where is the field?
    Therefore, try:
    set contents of text field "hfDirectory" of window "windowName" to (theWatchedFolder as text)

  • SSRS Hide Description text in Report Manager

    Hi
    Does anyone know if you can hide the description text on report manager, this is populated in report properties > Description or can be updated direct in report manager.
    I want to add a description but I do not want it displayed in report manager, is there a way of removing this?
    Thanks

    Hi Monkey14,
    According to your description, you have a report with description. Now you just want to hide the description when accessing the report manager. Right?
    In Reporting Services, we have a css file for Report Manager to set style. Now we just need to modify the style for description box. Please follow the steps below: 
    Go to Your Disk:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server[your MSRS instance]\Reporting Services\ReportManager\Styles\ReportingServices.css. 
    For your items, the style class name is "msrs-itemDescription":
    p.msrs-itemDescription  { white-space: nowrap; width: 250px; overflow: hidden; text-overflow: ellipsis; font-size:10pt; color:Gray; }
    Add “display:none” in the style. It looks like below:
    Save and preview.
    Reference:
    SSRS 2008r2 cutting off report descriptions in main display page in report manager
    If you have any question, please feel free to ask.

  • Asynchronous Processing of Workflow in Final Step Pro's and Cons?

    Hi,
    I was wondering if anybody has experience with "Asynchronous Processing of Workflow in Final Step".
    in our workflow process we have decided to use Decision type 4:  item based desicion for partial document.
    currently we are working on SRM Server 731 and I cannot find this in customization. I suspect I need to enable business function : SRM_APF_IMPR_1.
    can any body confirm this?
    But does anybody have some experience using this functionality, and provide some experience in the Pro's and Con's.
    on the link i found on SAP website limited information is available: :
    http://help.sap.com/saphelp_srm701/helpdata/en/c9/e6c2d976564cfe83ba850890d6f946/frameset.htm
    Hope anybody can provide some insight.
    thanks Sing

    Hi Sing,
    SAP says, that asynchronous processing should be faster for the large shopping carts (Last approver should not wait to long). But actually I have not determined big difference.
    If you activate this switch - do not fordet to activate following entry in SWE2.

  • How do I set up Description meta tag on pages

    Hi, I have set up page titles but can't see how to set up description on pages.  Any help appreciated.

    Liam,
    I saw in a previous post that you mentioned that in V3, you cannot change the meta description via the properties button in the text editor (under Manage > Pages). I am having an issue with this too. I need to edit my meta description; however, when i do, the change never shows up. It only shows the initial meta description set for that page. I can't figure out any other way to change that description.
    Thanks,

    You won't be able to add one until you can answer 2 of your questions, you will need to contact iTunes Support / Apple to get the questions reset.

    Hi Experts, How to set task description with paragraphs at runtime. Now, i can set single content in task description.however, not sure, how to set content which have paragraphs.

    Hi,
    You can use HTML tags in the Task descritption.
    Open the task not the workflow and there you can provide

    You can use even <u>- Underlined text.

  • Cannot set Skillbuilder SuperLOV value

    Hello,
    i have a superlov item, P1_CODE which i am trying to set it's value from javascript.
    $s('P1_CODE', 'AA.001');
    The Enterable field is set to Enterable - Not restricted to LOV but i cannot set the field as it remains null. I can select from the popup list or enter directly a value.
    If i use the same code on a e.g. TextBox it works fine.
    I'm using Apex 4.2.3 and SuperLOV 2.0.2
    Teo
    Thank you.

    It does work. Don't forget that the superlov is built as a fieldset which contains a hidden item ( = return value) and the text item ( = display value). Calling either $s or apex.item.setValue with one value will set the return value of the item.
    JavaScript APIs: apex.item.setValue
    JavaScript APIs: $s
    $s(pNd, pValue, pDisplayValue, pSuppressChangeEvent)
    You can see it working as expected by inspecting the html. When you want to set the display value as well as the return value, then simply provide a third parameter.
    eg
    $s("P18_SLOV", "JAMES", "7900")
    Now, also be aware that the superlov has some interesting methods available, as seen in the documentation:
    The getValuesByReturn and setValuesByReturn methods can be used to programmatically fetch return values and set the item using the return values. getValuesByReturn will return a JSON object with the results from the fetch. setValuesByReturn goes a step further using the return values to set the display and return values for the item. Example(s):
    $('#P1_ITEM_NAME').apex_super_lov('getValuesByReturn', '101');
    $('#P1_ITEM_NAME').apex_super_lov('setValuesByReturn', '999');

  • In FrameMaker 9.0.3 and 9.0.4, I cannot set tab stops for a style in the Paragraph Designer.

    In FrameMaker 9.0.3 and 9.0.4, I cannot set tab stops for a style in the paragraph designer. Here are the steps to dysfunction:
    1. In Paragraph Designer, for Tab Stops, click Edit. Edit Tab Stop dialog box opens, and the Paragraph Designer dialog box closes.
    2. Type value in New Position box.
    3. Click Continue. The Edit Tab Stop box closes.
    4. Open Paragraph Designer. No tabs are recorded.
    Discussion of a similar problem occured on this forum in June 2010. At that time, the resolution seemed to be to upgrade to 9.0.3. Has anyone else encountered this problem with these versions?
    Thanks.

    Hi, Arnis,
    Brilliant! Thanks so much. I only looked at the later discussions of that thread, which seemed to indicate the problem would be solved by an upgrade to 9.0.3.

  • [Solved?] VLC won't play audio -- cannot set buffer duration

    I can't play sound in VLC. I have tried the default and the ALSA outputs. I know ALSA works, because mpg123, speaker-test, and rdesktop's sound all work. (Saying that, I can't tell if mpg123 uses alsa or not - rdesktop does though)
    Attempting to play something in VLC gives me some rather cryptic errors. What follows is the output of "vlc -v" and an attempt to play a video with sound. I have split the "code"-tag just before the actual error output for clarity and ease of scanning.

I am running the build "pacman -S vlc" gave me. If anyone could point me in the right direction on this issue I'd be grateful.

    Situation update:
    1. I didn't need my asound.conf like that -- I should have used pulseaudio in the first place, I was unaware that ALSA does not allow more than one program to use the sound device at the same time, whereas pulseaudio is used to mix sounds.
    2. VLC works fine on PulseAudio. No idea why it failed on ALSA!

  • Description text maintenance on PFCG

    Hi everyone!
    I have the following scenario: description text for roles were created on default german language - lang DE - and even when I change the description text on that default language, this is not visible or updated on other languages such as english.
    Has anyone been through such situation?
    These are the steps I'm taking:
    1. Log onto SAP as admin user on german language
    2. Go to PFCG
    3. Select the desired role and edit
    4. Change the description text
    5. Save
    Description text is now changed for german language but not for other languages.
    What am I doing wrong?
    Thanks in advance for any help.
