Start a report via Workflow

Is there a way to start a report from Oracle Workflow?
The only hint for something like that I found in the docu is to define a function activiy with the type external. Is this the only possible way? Has anyone examples? I know, in the 10g Version of Oracle Workflow reports should be integrated directly.

Thomas,
The only options are PL/SQL interface (custom activity), Java External Activity, Submit Concurrent program -if this is an Oracle applications install, there are standard workflow activities to submit a concurrent request. You could also use the Business Event System to put a message onto a queue, process the message and get the response message to complete the waiting workflow.
Hope this helps,
Raja

Creating automated email reminders to users every 2 weeks via Workflow 2010 Out of Box approach only

Hi,
I have been asked to automate the email reminders to users (every two weeks) from the SharePoint2010 solution.
I am trying to achieve this via workflow ,but am unable to get the results.
Req :
Twice a month the users should get an automated email reminder for a specific task.
1. On 14th (or last working day in mid month -1) of the month. ( a field "mid month end" captures the date as 15th of the month)
2. On last working day - 1 of the month. ( a field "month end" captures the date as last day of the month)
Please let me know how i can achieve this via Out of box functionality. I donot have exp with workflows so a detailed steps guidlines will be very helpfull.
Regards,
Guru

Although you can start a workflow and then pause it for a number of days, I'd feel uncomfortable with that. If the farm crashes, who guarantees that the paused workflows will pick up where they were left off?
SharePoint does no offer to run a workflow on all items in a list/library -- which I feel is a big draw back.
The good news is that there is a free 3rd party tool that can run a workflow on all (or specific) items in a list or library. It's called the
HarePoint Workflow Scheduler and I love it.
You can create a view that shows the items that you want to run the workflow on.
Or, if you know how to write CAML, you can feed the CAML Query right into the HarePoint Workflow Scheduler task.
At my company we have several sites in production that use the HarePoint Workflow Scheduler with a view.
So, first, create a SharePoint Designer workflow and define it to run manually.
Then use the HarePoint workflow scheduler to define a schedule.
You can define a schedule for the HarePoint tool, like every day, month, week, etc., by just clicking a few boxes.
Since this functionality does not come out of the box with SharePoint 2010, this free tool is a real gem.

Hi,
Follow this ,
Goto PFTC -> Choose "Workflow Template" from the drop down -> Enter the workflow template id "123********" in the text box -> now click on "change" button -> Now goto the menu addional data -> agent assignment -> maintain -> select the task text -> and set it as general task.
I guess you have done the same for the standard task TS*********** but failed to do it for the workflow template (WS123*************). Or have you done it already?
Also once you make this change "Refresh your buffers" once before checking it out.

Error while sending a report via alert

Hi,
I have created an alert to send a message which includes a report link. The alert worked fine, i did receive the report via email.But then once i started creating new alerts , i started getting errors in alert launching.I checked up with the services and found out that Event engine shows up an error which is
EventEngine:Clause inconsistency between EventEngine and Satellites
Start Unloading rules.
Also i have got troubles with the user generated already and which was working well all these while. Now the error i see in Login management of Adminstrator is
Login information for "NT AUTHORITY\NETWORK SERVICE". This login is not currently known to be a valid login.
I would be really thankful if someone could help me with this.
Regards,
Lathika

Login information for "NT AUTHORITY\NETWORK SERVICE". This login is not currently known to be a valid login.
You get the above error message whenever you configure IIS to allow anonymous authentication for the web directory OracleBAM, using the NETWORK SERVICE profile for anonymous logins. You'll need to disable anonymous login for the BAM web directory.

Granting item permissions to specific group or users via workflow- sharepoint online

I want to create a Document Set and upon doing that i want to grants users/ groups item level permissions to the document set.
Can this be done via workflow?
What are my options?

If workflow starts on document set, you will change permission on the document set: if the files inherit permission from document set, all children files will have the same document set permission.
the document set is nothing more than a souped-up folder

HFM and Workspace 11.1.2.0 issues with opening Apps and reports via web

Hi,
we are running decentralized environment where we have HFM Web and App servers on Windows 2008 Server SP2 and few shared elements like OHS, HSS (Shared Services) and Workspace service from Solaris 10 SPARC (64bit) server.
The base version is 11.1.2.0 and on Windows we have fixes from 1-9 installed whereas on top of Solaris we have no fixes/patches yet installed.
When we test workspace from web server desktop connecting to Solaris server it seems traffic is fine as Apps are available and browsing them seems to work normally = Webserver is able to locate Workspace on Solaris, Workspace is able to connect to HFM App server and App server again able to connect HFM App db container.
When we access to workspace url over web (the traffic according to my understanding should go via OHS to Webserver and then redirect to Solaris server Workspace and then like mentioned above.
Something gets wrong here as when accessing Workspace url we get non-showing icons, $ characters in messed up menu rows and few error messages like :
- Invalid or could not find module configuration
- Required application module hfm.appcontainer is not configured. Please contact your administrator
- Namespace Communication Error
Also opening test report via web url workspace gives error:
Required application module reporting.reportViewer is not configured. Please contact your administrator.
+
Namespace Communication Error
Our experience from previous lower environment was that symptons like described might be caused by wrong service start order. Thus we tried to review this carefully and boot in correct order, but still problems. Also, boot order shouldn't be totally wrong as workspace works when using directly from Web server.
If any of mentioned symptons rings anyone's bell please reply.
Something still in firewalls or rather in configuration, OHS maybe?
At this point we don't yet dream of proper loadbalancing or High availability, but rather get this single web and single app server server + shared elements from Solaris server to work without error messages.
We do know that release 11.1.2.1 is supposed to fix many things, but we need to get this 11.1.2.0 working in a way or another.
Thanks for any tips that might arise.

Prob in Submit Report via Selection screen.

Hi,
I have to submit a report via selection screen.
The report name is detemined at run time.
This i am able to handle easily as we can use SUBMIT (V_PROG)...
                               WHERE V_PROG contains the name of the report that i get at runtime...
Now the issue :::::::
I have to also populate a select-options on the called report on submit.
usually this is done by :
                                            SUBMIT (V_PROG)
                                            name of select-option in itab...
However in my case the name of the <name of select-option> is also detemined at runtime say PNPPERNR.
Now if i use any variable / field symbol for the name of the select - option (like for the called program), it does not work (the called report does not have the values i populate in ITAB for the particular select-option)
I have also tried Macro but cant find solution...
ANY IDEAS ??

Hi Anuj,
When you are getting the report name in runtime, you can also get the report selection screen information during runtime.
Now how are you going to decide which values you will move to which selection screen variables of which report? If you have a way to determine this, then here is a program that works on that assumption.
REPORT ztest1 .
DATA: i_seltab          TYPE TABLE OF rsparams WITH HEADER LINE,
      i_selections_info TYPE TABLE OF selinfo WITH HEADER LINE.
DATA: v_report LIKE sy-repid,
      v_matnr LIKE mara-matnr.
PARAMETERS: p_rep1 RADIOBUTTON GROUP rad DEFAULT 'X',
            p_rep2 RADIOBUTTON GROUP rad.
SELECT-OPTIONS: s_matnr FOR v_matnr.
START-OF-SELECTION.
IF p_rep1 = 'X'.
*-- some criteria to determine the name of the report
    v_report = 'ZTEST2'.
ELSE.
    v_report = 'ZTEST4'.
ENDIF.
*-- get the parameters for the report
CALL FUNCTION 'RS_SELECTIONS_DESCRIPTION'
       EXPORTING
            report              = v_report
       TABLES
            selections_info     = i_selections_info
       EXCEPTIONS
            no_selections       = 1
            report_not_existent = 2
            subroutine_pool     = 3
            OTHERS              = 4.
IF sy-subrc <> 0.
    MESSAGE ID sy-msgid TYPE sy-msgty NUMBER sy-msgno
            WITH sy-msgv1 sy-msgv2 sy-msgv3 sy-msgv4.
ENDIF.
LOOP AT i_selections_info WHERE name = 'S_MATNR'.
*-- some criteria based on which, move the values from this program
*   to the called program
    CLEAR i_seltab.
    i_seltab-selname = i_selections_info-name.
    i_seltab-kind    = i_selections_info-kind.
    i_seltab-sign    = 'I'.
    i_seltab-option = 'EQ'.
    i_seltab-low     = s_matnr-low.
    i_seltab-high    = s_matnr-high.
    APPEND i_seltab.
ENDLOOP.
IF NOT i_seltab[] IS INITIAL.
    SUBMIT (v_report) VIA SELECTION-SCREEN
            WITH SELECTION-TABLE i_seltab .
ENDIF.
If this works for you, please reward and close the post.

Critical parts goes below Re-order pt - to trigger email via Workflow

Hi Experts,
I am new to workflow and here is my requirement.
When Material goes below Re-order pt in MM , MRP runs and creates PR/Sch Line. I want to trigger email to some Group when few Critical parts goes below Re-order point via Workflow
A workflow should trigger and get email to Group I saw one standard workflow (WS03100020) but I dont know how to active and how it will work.
I can copy this to custom workflow using PFTC and do, but when the material document creates - Means Critical parts are consumed and Stock level goes below re-order point. how my copied custom workflow triggers?
Critical Parts A , C , F, X and Z
If Material A ,C and F goes below re-order pt then email to trigger to GROUP1.
If Material X and Z goes below re-order pt then email to trigger to GROUP2.
Need to know :
1) steps to copy and modify
2) How to Execute manually
3) How to execute automatically when Material stock falls below re-order point. ( Lets say in MM03 Re-order pt is 5 ) and IN MMBE current stock is 20, when there is consumption ( Material DOcument to Cost center - Mvtype 201 ) for 16 QTY.. then my Custom or Standard Workflow should Trigger and should get a email to Group.
How to achieve this. Please explain me with Step. Highly apprieciate your help and will reward points
Thanks in advance.

o.k. lets first handle the check function module
you need to start from the key and run the check is it higher or lower then the reorder point,
if it's higher, raise an exception (use message... raising), else do noting.
test the function module directly and see if it works, then look at the event trace(SWEL) and see what happens when your event is raised, if it's higher then the reorder point you should see an error (specific linkage is red and the message you entered in the function module in the details) else the event linkage should be o.k (green).
now for the function itself: if you use the cl_bcs to send the mail, you do not need to link SWW_WI_CREATE_VIA_EVENT_IBF as the receiver function module, but the function module you create to send the mail. again test the function module directly first and only then link it to the event.
if you want to send the mail by workflow see the link in my earlier reply.

Error when trying to run delivery report via OWA

When I click 'search' to run a Delivery Report via OWA I get the error "Sorry! We're having trouble processing your request at the moment. PLease try again in a few minutes".
It does this contstantly no matter how many times I try. And it's not as if the server is struggling with resources or anything, that's fine.
The following event shows up in the server event log too at the same time I try to run a report:
Event ID 12014
Microsoft Exchange could not find a certificate that contains the domain name NMSMAIL01.nms2k.int in the personal store on the local computer. Therefore, it is unable to support the STARTTLS SMTP verb for the connector Applications and Printers with a FQDN
parameter of NMSMAIL01.nms2k.int. If the connector's FQDN is not specified, the computer's FQDN is used. Verify the connector configuration and the installed certificates to make sure that there is a certificate with a domain name for that FQDN. If this certificate
exists, run Enable-ExchangeCertificate -Services SMTP to make sure that the Microsoft Exchange Transport service has access to the certificate key.
I wonder if anyone has had this particular error when running delivery ports. I don't want to caryr out any changes until I'm sure it's the right thing i'm doing for the right reason.
Thank you

Hi,
If the issue persists, I recommend you follow the steps below for troubleshooting:
1. Please stop all the Exchange services on CAS Server and then stop IIS by running the iisreset/stop command.
2. Locate to C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework64\v2.0.50727\Temporary ASP.NET, delete all the files and folders after taking a backup.
3. Start all Exchange services on CAS Server and then start the IIS by running iisreset/start command.
4. Locate to C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework64\v2.0.50727\Temporary ASP.NET Files, once user logon via OWA and then go to Options, new folders like OWA, ECP, will get created automatically.
After the above settings, please check if users can run delivery report via OWA.
Hope it helps.

CHARM: Starting customer actions via toolbox??

Dear developers,
does anybody know wheter you can start customer actions via the toolbox in a change request order?
I want to start such a customer action (function module or customer method) when choosing an entry in the toolbox and saving this order. Is this possibly? If yes, can you explain the way to the solution.

Hello Paul,
thanks for your answer and sorry for the delay.
Where should I set this parameter?
SolMan is not using SSO, our portal environment is working fine with SSO.
The way how we are working is:
Portal (with SSO, LDAP) --> IViews --> ABAP Backend Applications
The way how we are using SolMan + Ticketing system:
Portal Login (SSO, LDAP) --> user open the IView for SolMan --> starting the transaction for ticketing
Planed is:
Whenever a ticket status is changing under a Charm ticket (workflow ticket), the user is getting an automatic generated SolMan mail with the following information:
HTTP://<servername>:8000/SAP/BC/BSP/SAP/DSWP_BSP/DSMOP.HTMLISBSP=X&CMD=NOMI&NCMD=CRMVW&ID=D11FD44B83657E2AE1000000136A420A
This link is starting the SolMan, but require a login to the SolMan without SSO, LDAP use. This means for us, the users would need access direct to SolMan as well, instead to use the SSO, LDAP from the portal.
My question now:
How can we modify the link that it is going via the portal SolMan IView with a parameter for the ticket ID.
Thanks a lot
Bernd

Netflow reporting via SNMP

Looking for a Cisco config doc that talks at Netflow reporting via SNMPv3.
We have serveral routers (7600) that do not support Netflow (only on flexwan card), so our plan is to use SNMPv3 reporting.
I have a Cisco Netflow document reporting via SNMPv2c but cannot find any good examples using SNMPv3.
Thanks
Frank

Hello Racquel,
You cannot explicitly view netflow messages within MARS. Once the MARS starts to see a flow of netflow messages it will collect and collate the information for 7 days (including a weekend). This will then produce a baseline for this netflow source. After 7 days MARS will switch from collecting to monitoring. In monitoring state MARS will, using predefined internal metrics, determine if newer netflow records indicate exceptional traffic. If this is the case, then the MARS will generate an incident on the GUI. Over time, the MARS will adjust the baseline values using the received netflow records.
If you select to store IOS or ASA netflow records (admin -> system setup -> netflow configuration), then the records will be written to the internal database and archived (if configured). This will impact disk usage but would mean that if you needed to recover the MARS from archive after failure (re-image or RMA) then you could recover the baseline settings. Also, if you write them to disk, you can then export the raw netflow records to a file (admin -> system maintenance -> retrieve raw messages), but you need will to provide some external means of processing them.

Upgrade from 11i to R12 - Custom Forms,Reports and Workflows

Dear Community Friends,
We are planning for upgrade from oracle apps 11.5.10.2 to R12.
We have custom Forms,Form Libraries,Reports and Workflows.
Kindly provide me for approach on how to migrate Custom form libraries,reports and Workflows.
I beleive, this thread will exists as one shot point for custom forms,reports,workflow upgradation from 11i to r12 with detailed steps.
I know that many links exists here in the forum for all the above objects mentioned,but still from all those i am able to get a clear picture for oracle forms but not for custom form libraries ,reports and workflows.
Also,this post will provide a low level,practical picture of the steps for those who are in line with this.
Links i have read for all these in our forum are:
For Custom Forms,
Re: Planning to upgrade from 11i to R12
Re: Custom forms: After upgrading 11i to R12
ofcourse,'n' number of links exists providing metalink notes also.
Hussain,Helios and some others also has given many updates regd this.
For custom workflow upgradation,
Upgrade Workflow 11i to R12
Workflow Upgrade

For reports,links mentioned the below metalink notes:
Do Not Compile EBS R12 Reports Using rwconverter.sh or Reports Builder from IDS 10gR2 [ID 786794.1]
Using the OracleAS 10.1.2 Forms and Reports Builders with Oracle Applications Release 12 [ID 444248.1]
Per my understanding, after searching in many threads,i am here by summarising the practical low level steps for custom forms migration
Please correct me,if i am wrong.
1) Download the Forms(.fmb's) and all PLL's(all the PLL from resource folder in AU_TOP) into a Local Machine Folder
2) Open the forms using Forms Developer 10G and connect to DB
3) Compile by clicking compilein Forms Developer and then save it.
4) Upload the Saved Forms(.fmb's) into the new R12 server(system) in the respective custom paths(paths similar to 11i Server)
5) Compile all the forms using the command like below(example command is shown below or f60 gen commands or frmcmp.sh utility) in the respective custom form paths,
this will generate the .fmx's.
frmcmp_batch module=FORMNAME.fmb userid=apps/apps output_file=FORMNAME.fmx compile_all=yes
Link for compiling forms: https://support.oracle.com/epmos/faces/ui/km/SearchDocDisplay.jspx?_afrLoop=359210362972527&type=DOCUMENT&id=1085928.1&displayIndex=3&_afrWindowMode=0&_adf.ctrl-state=c348xvwbg_98
6) Open the form and check in R12 instance
As per my understanding for custom form libraries,we can just copy paste the PLL's from 11i server to R12 server (Please correct me,if i am wrong)
Can anyone please help me out in custom reports and custom workflows.Sorry that,i could not get a practical and clear picture for reports and also for workflow even after referring many threads and metalink notes mentioned.
As for reports,some says that Developer Suite 10g can be used and .rdf can be used in R12.
Some says that reports should be converted to XML published as reports does not exists in R12.
So,i am not clear on this.

Some says that reports should be converted to XML published as reports does not exists in R12.
So,i am not clear on this.You can still use RDF files in R12, and just follow the approach you mentioned above, and you do not have to migrate them to XML publisher (though it is recommended, but this can be done after the upgrade as an enhancement task).
For custom workflow, you need also to do the same thing, open them using workflow builder and make sure they work in R12 (correct the code if required and save them again in R12 once they work properly).

Siebel & "BIP Report Generation" Workflow and Bookmark Syntax

IHAC that wants to schedule the generation of a BIP report to run every weeknight and include a list of activities for the next day. We've utilized an OOTB IO and can successfully render the report using Sample XML in MS Word. Additionally, since they are only on 8.1.1, they do not currently have access to the latest scheduling capabilities. Therefore, we're trying to implement a repeating component to call a workflow to generate the report using the 'BIP Report Generation' workflow and the associated objects (from support posting 823360.1).
Now to the questions:
One of the parameters for the workflow is a 'Bookmark'. This parameter does not appear to handle various 'Siebel' querying functions like 'Today()' as part of the criteria. Can someone confirm this statement?
Currently, I can imagine one high-level possible workarounds. This would entail a revised WF and that includes a prior step to generate the 'Bookmark' by retrieving a string representation of tomorrow's date and concatenating it with the rest of the criteria.
Next question:
Does anyone have any other possible alternatives? Maybe a calculated field in the BC/IC for 'Today() + 1' - but this could have performance implications.
Thanks in advance for any help.

Suggestions/comments?
Bump.
