Start Process From Scanned Document In Watch Folder or Email

Looking for a way for a office person to scan a document into a watch folder or email a scanned document to LCES2.
Then from that scanned document a process is started and the user in workspace has a routing slip (pdf) and the scanned document in view.
I can see how to start the process with a email or watch folder but how do I get the scanned document in as a attachment to the process routing slip?
Somewhat new to LC and not seeing any demo's on this. Any help would be great.
Thanks,
John

Hi Jasmin,
I'm facing a problem with the watched folder files, they appear under the Attachment tab for the user, but with broken links, i.e. "The requested resource () is not available" error.
what I did is simply create a new process with watched folder start point, define a list-document variable as I/O and assign this variable to the user service?
can you help

BPM start process from WD UI

Hi all,
I am quite new with BPM in the SAP environment and for the moment I am strugling with the start of a process using an WD UI.
What i have is a simple process with two activities. The process starts with no problems from the respository and also I created a wdsl and managed to start the process from the wsnavigator.
Now I want to start the process from a simple UI. For that I created a WD component, assigned it to an app and connected to a model. Next I edited my portal to have a new folder with a page that contains my app.
The UI has to fields and a button. My goal is to use that button to start my process.
Probably I am doing something wrong when creating the action and maybe someone can help me with the java part on the actual button action.
Please help. Thank you.
Regards,
Stefy

I've made a lot of research and of course found a lot of forums and help. But for the moment I had some issues with addapting them completely to my situation, since I have to prior experience with this.
For example I think this is the best solution that I have found so far: /people/arafat.farooqui/blog/2010/06/23/introduction-to-sap-netweaver-bpm-part-6
but at the following step:
/ Bind the object
wdContext.nodeRequest_Name().bind(objRequest);
I can't figure out what is the nodeRequest_Name()...
couldn't find this "asset" in my WDContext.

Start process from Portal

Hi everyone!
I need to implement process start as a link in portal. I've created and tested WSDL in NWDS. I also assigned start event for the process. So it works and starts fine from the WS navigator. Now I need to make it available in portal. I have no experience in Portal. So i found some guidelines regarding VC and WebDynpro. But I need an advise about that. I wanna know what is the best practice to implement that. I mean how is it usually done? Because the task seems pretty typical. NWDS and CE are 7.2 SP06 both.
Thanks in advance,
Peter

Well, it depends on the requirement.
If you just want to start a process and no shiny (tree control, file upload etc...) UI manipulation, you can use VC. Its very easy to develop. Also VC covers vast number of UI element, though not all provided by WD. But, if there is any complex business logic invovled , with heavy data manipulation, WD stands good.
However, for most of the cases, UI provided by VC suffice all requirements. If the purpose is just to provide basic, simple UI for submitting info and starting BPM, VC fits best.

Start process from JSP which continues running after response is completed

Is it possible to start a process from within JSP which can continue running after the HTTP response is complete, so the response doesn't time out??

Your question is a little vague. If I am understanding your question correctly, it sounds like you are starting a process in JSP that takes a long time, and the browser is timing out. If this is your question, then here is my response:
We've had this situation before. Often times it occurs because the JSP page launches a long database operation that could take an hour. You have a few choices, but one good approach is this (any variation of this works too):
1. When the page loads and you need the process to start, create a new thread and have the long operation run from this thread. You can put the thread object into a session variable and store it for later use.
2. Have the JSP code output a META-REFRESH tag on the page so that the page refreshes every 30 seconds or so.
3. On each refresh, you get the thread object from the session context and check it to see if it is done or still running. If it is, then just output another META-REFRESH and the page will keep refreshing itself. If it is done, you can, of course, output a "finished" message to the user.
You can also have a stop button on the page that you can use to send a message to the thread to stop.
Hope that gives you some ideas!

Output processing from sales documents - t-code?

Hi,
Can anyone tell me the t-code to process outputs from sales documents - order confirmations from sales orders. The one that i can use to set up a variant to use in a background job. Similar to VF31 for billing, VT70 for shipments etc. I am unable to find the one to be used for orders.
Many thanks!

Hi Yogesh,
I'm not sure about the tcode. But, you can try with the program name 'SD70AV1A'.

Start process from emailed pdf form

I've set up a process with an email endpoint that has two steps:
1. set value (which does nothing)
2. User task which sends a pdf form to a user.
the idea is that when a pdf form is mailed to the specified mail account the process starts and sends the pdf to the correct user which then is supposed to review the form and approve it or decline it.
The process starts correctly on receiving the mail, and the pdf form is attached to the task but it doesn't contain the data that the user had entered before submission, it's empty.
I've tried submitting the form in all possible formats xml,xdp,pdf, and I've tried changing the type of the process variable, from xfaForm to Document Form, to Document, but I either end up with an empty form, or I get an error when trying to open the form associated with the process task.
does anyone has a simple example of how to accomplish this?
I know I am probably making some stupid mistake but for the life of me I can't figure out where the problem is.
thanks in advance for any help.
Aldo.

Thanks a lot for your reply! At them oment i'm having problems with the server on which livecycle is installed. As soon as i get iu back up and running i will mail you the process.
Tahnks again.

Workspace cannot start process, puts it in the Draft folder

Hi!
My processes which i have used many times in workspace now cannot be started. Workspace puts them in the draft folder and doesn't do more. Please help!
Kind regards
Sedat,

Have you changed your form?
It looks like it can submit the form.
Are you using the process fields from Form Designer, or you're own submit button.

Start process from global creation using a signal in Oracle SOA Suite 11g

I want to start a process using a signal or an automatic activity from a link in the BPM workspace. The only way I have found to do that is using an initiator human task activity, but I just want to execute some script activities without a task flow.
Any idea?

Hi,
Some considerations:
- The path <DOMAIN_HOME>/lib is usually used to place shared libs to the Admin server (jdbc libs to allow connection factory configuration, for example)
- The path <OSS_HOME>/soa/modules/oracle.soa.ext_11.1.1 is the right place to put shared libs that will be used by SOA composite applications (like javaAction implementations for Fault Handling Framework or libs called within Java Embedding). See the readme file inside this directory to know how it works.
Also, changes in the startWeblogic script will affect the JVM of the Admin Server. To apply changes to managed servers, like the soa_server, make your changes in the startManagedServer script.
Lastly, pay attention in the parameter you are passing to the JVM. The correct parameter is -Dlog4j.configuration=file:<PATH> and not -Dlog4j.configuration=<PATH> as you are using.
With this in mind, I published a new post in my blog that explains what is necessary to do to call Log4j within a BPEL process: http://blog.andrade.inf.br/2010/09/generating-custom-logs-with-log4j.html
I hope this may help you.

Stop Mail from creating a To-Do folder on email server?

I actually use the Notes and To-Do's function of Mail, however, I don't like the way it creates a folder on the IMAP server to store them, even though they are actually stored on my mac. Basically I want the Note and To-Do functionality to work solely offline.
Is there a way to stop mail creating the "Apple Mail To-Do's' folder?

I know that IMAP is so so so much better than POP, but is setting up your e-mail account to use POP instead of IMAP through Mail an option? I believe that if you were to set it up that way, it wouldn't be able to create that folder to sync with since you're no longer allowing it the IMAP access.

I am unable to attach scanned documents or Pictures to eamils. The size of the scanned documents and the pictures are well below the 20MB limit. I can connect Exl and Word documents with not problem

When trying to attach a scanned document or picture to and email, the process goes not forever and there is no end, it just keeps working and tries to attache these documents/pictures. In the lower left hand corner of the screen it says "waiting for mail. yahoo. com"

I do backup with iCloud. I can't wait until the new iMac is available so that I can once again have my files in more than 1 location without needing to rely solely on the cloud.
I also rely on iTunes and my MacBook and Time Machine as well as backing up to iCloud. I know many users know have gone totally PC free, but I chose to use iCloud merely as my third backup.
I assume that the restore would result in my ability to open Pages and Numbers and fix the problem with deleting apps, but this would also mean that if my Numbers documents still exist solely within the app and are just not on iCloud for some reason that they would be gone forever. Is that right?
In a word, yes. In a little more detail.... When you restore from an iCloud backup, you must erase the device and start all over again. There is no other way to access the backup in iCloud without erasing the device. Consequently, you are starting all over again. Therefore, it would also be my assumption that Pages and Numbers will work again and that the deleting apps issues would be fixed as well.
If the documents are not in the backup, and you do not have a backup elsewhere, the documents could be gone forever.

PDF Generator process converting several document types

I am creating a PDF Conversion process, and I utilize a watched folder to fetch files. However, if I set the fileName parameter to * I get the error stating that the file extension is missing. If I use for example file.doc, all word documents are converted, but other formats will of course not be converted. choosing either variable or something else doesn't help. Any ideas?

Thanks for your answer. I tried to use *.*. If I use the Variable fileName *.* I get the following error: Failure Time----Fri Oct 19 10:08:46 EEST 2007 source location ---- Reason of failure is-----Invocation error. Invocation error. ALC-PDG-080-002-Missing extension in file name. ALC-DSC-003-000: com.adobe.idp.dsc.DSCInvocationException: Invocation error.

I have a pro 8500 a910 on a wired network and i want to scan to a network folder on a NAS

Pro 8500 a 910
Window 7 Pro Bit
Connected to my network via a wired connection
I have a Pro 8500 a 910 and at the moment I successfully scan documents to a folder on my PC
I wish to scan to a folder on a NAS storage device that is on my network
How ever when I try to set this up I don't seem able to get it to connect when I run the connection test.
I do not know if I have the username/passwords wrong or the path is incorrect
I have tried inputting my PC username and password as well as the NAS's username and password
The path I am trying is \\mesh-PC\Network\NAS\outlookpartnerships\NAS Scans
mesh-PC being my PC and the folder names after NAS is the location on the storage device
I have tried all combinations of folders and user names etc but at the moment I don't seem to able to get it to work.
Any assistance you can give me in this matter would be appreciated

Firstly, time to get rid of the 2 x 512MB FBDIMMs in there, they add more heat and use more watts then they add to the system. If you need more, and 4 or 8 DIMMs is ideal, Amazon has 2x2GB sets $22 - about 1/50th what I paid for 1GB new.
Buy a 250GB Samsung EVO SSD $129
Pick up Carbon Copy Cloner http://www.bombich.com to clone the system to the SSD
A sled adapter for the SSD from Icy Dock $14 Amazon.com
7-8 years overdue for new system drive! amazed it lasted this long. An SSD plus some WD Black 2TB drives or larger should do the trick.
you can also put the SSD in the lower optical drive bay and use one of the two ODD "spare" SATA ports for the SSD - an SSD is the best way to improve the performance of our old Mac Pro 2006-7 models.
When you downloaded the Lion installer that was when to create a flash type installer with Lion DiskMaker.
If you have put in a new-ish graphic card then OS X 10.6.0 may not support it.

How to call BPM process from Java

Hi All,
Can anybody help how to call a BPMN process from java.Please give any sample exaple on this.
Thanks,

For 11g BPM please look at this post. Re: Getting while running the BPEL process from java
It references an ATeam example app that can start processes from a web client. But the Java APIs are described too.

Collect BPM - Start process and correlation in one Receiver

I'm using collect pattern based on timeout. Somehow in my infinite loop, in the receive step, I cannot combine "start process" with creating correlation and using it. All in the same receiver. When I try to activate my BPM, in the processing log I get, "start process" trigger removed.
Can someone throw any light on this....I've being trying this for over few hours now. I cannot get start process and correlation in one receiver. I must be doing something wrong.
Even the copied BPMCollectPattern removes the start process from the receiver.
thank you,
Pam
Additional info:
The first message received starts the process within an infinite loop and activates the correlation "Correlation" by using IDoc message tyoe. Each subsequent message uses this correlation. The messages are received in the container element CollectMessage.In the loop the received messages are attached to the multiline container element CollectMessageList.

Hi,
We are also in SP12. So start process is not a problem, because you are getting an Information saying that "start trigger removed" right? It is not an error.
Are you getting this eror "expression must not return multiline value" after your complete Integration Process desgin ? If So...
I think you are getting this error in Transformation Step where you are doing N:1 mapping. In this step you are mentioning Interface mapping right? Once you mention Interface Mapping in Transformation step you need to give Source Message Structure as well as Target Message Structure. According to my understanding you are getting error here. You can check these errors, while design time itself. If your entries are showing with Red Border then it is understood that there is an error.
So if error is here then I think you need to check your N:1 Mapping. In this mapping your Source side Messages should be 0...unbounded. Similarly in Interface Mapping also. Just check for Source Message Occurences...
I think it will solve your problem.
Thanks,
Moorthy
