Starting a workflow for a PCR form

Hello,
We installed the MSS business package. I would like to know how to start a workflow for a PCR form (example: Request for Promotion). The workflow just needs to be simple one step approval from manager.
What configs are needed in SPRO or elsewhere?
Thanks,
Rob.

HI,
You can use transaction QISRSCENARIO for that and the IMG path is below -->
Cross Application Components>Internet/Intranet Services>Internal serive request--> Define Scenarios.
Now Select the scenario and then click the display button.If you are using JSP in frontend then click the additonal data for scenario. Here you will find the WF.
Or you can call the WF in your custom program also.
Thanks & Regards,

Start a workflow for a list item that was created by someone else

What settings do I need to change so that I can start a workflow for a list item created by another user?
I have a SharePoint 2013 workflow (let's call it LSR Status Workflow) that is associated with a list (called
LSR List). When a user creates an item in the LSR List, it automatically starts the
LSR Status Workflow. That is what I wanted, but sometimes I make changes to the workflow (via SharePoint designer) and then I would want to terminate the existing workflows that are running and restart them.
When I try to start a workflow for anyone other than a list item that I created, I get the following error:
Retrying last request. Next attempt scheduled in less than one minute. Details of last request: HTTP NotFound to https://publishing.web.company.com/sites/mysite/_vti_bin/client.svc/web/lists/getbyid(guid'1f844b8f-19aa-4587-bcc2-dfb7085f36b5')/Items(31)

60c83aae-5c25-4ee8-9c85-c64958ba701e
Then when the workflow is finally suspended after it keeps retrying, it reports the following error:
RequestorId: 8efc5304-f0a3-90f6-0000-000000000000. Details: An unhandled

If I created the list item, I can stop it and restart it without any problems, but this is not the case for list items created by someone else.
What settings do I need to change so that I can start a workflow for a list item created by another user? I am the owner of the SharePoint site and am able to make changes to permissions if needed.

You don't need to re-do the fields. If you create a new version of the PDF
file just open the old one and use the Replace Pages command to insert the
pages from the new version over the old ones. This will give you a new
version of the file, with the existing form fields still in tact. Of
course, you might need to adjust their location and/or size, but at least
you won't have to start all over again...

IDE: automatic start of workflow for switch document

Hello guys,
Please, can someone tell me how do you automatically start the distributor workflow (WS20500195) without using SWUD transaction?
I created the switch document ( switch view: distributor, switch type: end of supply), but the workflow won't start automatically, although is activated in SWE2 transaction.
Thanks,
Regards,
Eduard M.

Hello Anand,
The workflows (distributor, new supplier, former supplier) were activated in SWE2 transaction.
I also activated the triggering events from SWDD transaction for each workflow.
Object type: ISUSWITCHD
Event of the object: CREATED
The thing is that after creating the switch document, I thought the workflow will start automatically (i mean after having customized the workflows in SPRO + SWE2 + SWDD).
Anyway, thanks for your help.
Best regards,

Adobe for MSS PCR forms with 46C back-end???

Hi all,
A quick question - is it possible to use Adobe document services for PCR forms when the back-end R/3 system is 4.6C? Or do we need to be on Enterprise or ERP?
From what we've seen it appears that the ISR functionality in 46C is not enabled to allow selection of an Adobe form - thus ruling this form option out for 46C PCRs, meaning we'll use JSP forms instead.
Can anyone confirm whether this is the case, and/or provide details of what they have done for PCR forms in 46C?
(we do have a WAS 6.40)
Many thanks
Ross

Hi Markus,
Your response does not line up with information that I have found on SDN:
10. Can Interactive Forms work within, for example, an SAP R/3 Enterprise or 4.6C system? Is it alternatively possible to run an external SAP Web Application Server 6.40 instance with a lower-release SAP system?
Interactive Forms is shipped as a part of SAP Web AS 6.40. SAP Web AS 6.40 can be connected to lower-release backend systems to exchange data (using RFC).
If you want to use forms in interactive scenarios, you can use technologies such as an RFC connection to exchange data between your application system (for example, SAP R/3 4.6C) and the SAP Web AS 6.40, which includes the required Adobe technology.
If you are working with high-volume printing scenarios, consider that the customization of print forms is optimized for use within SAP applications.
This means:
·At design time, you create relations between application data and form objects based on a common SAP dictionary.
·Form templates are available within their corresponding SAP applications. Templates are delivered by SAP only as part of an application.
·Performance is optimized for bundled systems, i.e. an SAP application system and its technological platform.
SAP recommends that customers
·Use the same system for application and form printing services in high-volume scenarios
·Work with SAP-delivered form templates in the corresponding application. (If you use SAP NetWeaver for form printing services only, you will need to build your scenario from scratch.)
Please note: If you are planning a high-volume printing project using SAP Web AS 6.40 and an existing, lower-release SAP solution, please turn to your SAP consulting contact for detailed guidance.
If I am reading this correctly, you just need to install WAS 6.40 with the Adobe Services on it and then cerate an RFC to the 4.6 SAP system. Is this correct?
Regards,
Todd

Workflow for Purchase Order Form?

I am setting up a paperless Purchase Order system at my company.
A Purchase Order form has been created in Acrobat with spaces for 4 digital signatures.
There is a network filesystem where a copy of the form can be stored and completed copies of the form placed. Preferably, a copy of the form will be retrieved from the server, then emailed through the signature process.
The Workflow:
1. A user obtains a copy of the PO form, fills it out, digitally signs the form and sends it to their supervisor for approval by email (preferred) or by placing the form in a shared directory.
2. The supervisor digitally signs the PO and sends it to their Manager.
3, The Manager digitally signs the PO and sends it to the approval authority.
4. The approval authority digitally signs the PO and forwards the form to the purchasing department for placement.
There are about 100 users, 20 supervisors, 5 Managers and 1 Approval Authority.
How would this workflow be implemented? What I have found so far is examples where 1 form is distributed to a number of people, filled out and returned, collated and reviewed. I been unable to find any examples of this type of workflow.
Any suggestions?
Dennis

It's not that difficult. I think there is only one entry for the object and event you use in your workflow.
If you would have done a little searching in this forum you would have had your answer already.

How to re-start the workflow for Shopping carts in WAITING status

Hi
We are using 1-step approval work flow, and we get some strange issue. We can add approver in the workflow, but after we click order button and back to check status again, sometimes there will be "Ad-hoc agent not found" issue. Do you know how to solve?
And one workaround for user is to re-add the approval, and sometimes the shopping cart back to normal. But sometimes, after we add the approver, the shopping cart are in waiting status:
Workflow Item:
Workitem-ID 000000714642
Task WS10000276
Text One-Step Approval: Value limit: Shopping Cart
1000114698
Status WAITING
Statustext Waiting
Date 13.06.2008
Time 10:41:22
So may I ask how to re-trigger the workflow?

Hi,
Thx for that. I need to trigger the Approval workflow to go the the approval manager.
Can u give me the document on this? thx, kerry.liu [at] ap.effem.com.
Thx very much

Issue while starting a workflow using a form submission cq5

Hi,
I have followed the below mentioned tutorial and completed it.
http://dev.day.com/docs/en/cq/current/workflows/create-models.html#par_reference
Once done, I did try to start the workflow using a normal form submission, by giving workflow name in the "Start Workflow" box.
Once clicked it will send the notification to my inbox, and when I double click, the form 1 will be displayed. Once submitted form two will be displayed.
But when I submit the form 2, it thorws the below exception.
But when I start the same workflow using the sidekick, It works perfectly fine. I am guessing that the {payload}.html is not getting set when the WF is initaited by a form submission.
Could you please help with this. Thank you !

SharePoint Online 2013 Workflows for one List stopped working after 07/08/2014

Our client host application in Office 365 SharePoint Online 2013, and we just found that all workflows for one list stopped working after 7, Aug 2014. It kept displaying pop-up message "Something went wrong. To try again, reload the page and then start

Tested workflow for other list, there's no problem.

ECMA script for checking active workflows for an list item

Hi i am having more than 1 workflow associated with the list if there is any workflow that is active for an item then i need to prevent starting another workflow for the same item. I am using the following code to achieve the same. Can anyone please provide
me the ECMA object model equivalent for achieving the same.
//Check for any active workflows for the document
private void CheckForActiveWorkflows()
// Parameters 'List' and 'ID' will be null for site workflows.
if (!String.IsNullOrEmpty(Request.Params["List"]) && !String.IsNullOrEmpty(Request.Params["ID"]))
this.workflowList = this.Web.Lists[new Guid(Request.Params["List"])];
this.workflowListItem = this.workflowList.GetItemById(Convert.ToInt32(Request.Params["ID"]));
SPWorkflowManager manager = this.Site.WorkflowManager;
SPWorkflowCollection workflowCollection = manager.GetItemActiveWorkflows(this.workflowListItem);
if (workflowCollection.Count > 0)
SPUtility.TransferToErrorPage("An workflow is already running for the document. Kindly complete it before starting a new workflow");
}

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you wanted to use ECMA script to check active workflows for an list item.
You can use the Workflow web service "/_vti_bin/workflow.asmx"
- GetWorkflowDataForItem operation in particular.
Here is a great blog for you to take a look at:
http://jamestsai.net/Blog/post/Using-JavaScript-to-check-SharePoint-list-item-workflow-status-via-Web-Service.aspx
In addition, you can use
SPServices. For more information, please refer to:

Call MDM Workflow for Item Record

Hello,
We are implementing MDM 7.1 on Portal and want to trigger MDM Workflow through Webdynpro Java when a user edits a record for Item and clicks on 'Save'. I have captured the 'Post Save Event' in Webdynpro Java and received the Record Id of the Item being edited.
Now I want to execute the Workflow based on the RecordID. Can somebody send me the code for the same for connecting to the MDM Repository and starting the workflow for the Item record.
Any help would be highly appreciated.

Creating an approval workflow for a customized request form

Hello,
I have created a customized request form in FIM that users are to fill up and submit for rights request. A workflow is required for for request process from the requester an escalation of approvers for the request to be approved or denied.
My challenges are:
Adding a control to my xml configuration file that will allow users to select multiple items, a checkbox feature with a list of rights to apply for
Creating a workflow for the customized request form, so that the approvers receive mail with the details filled on the form as the body text of the mail.?
How can I achieve these? I will greatly appreciate your help.
Regards,
Josephine

I would suggest you go through this walkthrough here:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee534919(v=ws.10).aspx
and this is also very helpful:
http://blog.msresource.net/2012/07/13/including-who-approved-or-rejected-an-approval-in-its-notification-email/
- You need an email template with all your custom content
- you need a notification workflow containing the recipient Information
- you need a MPR starting the workflow when the user checks the box
- FIM needs to know the email attribute of the approver to be able to send the mail
- the owner Attribute of the Group must be set, this is the recipient of the approval mail in case of the Default owner approval workflow. in your case you set the appropriate Attribute of the group
- and of cause the Connection between FIM and Exchange must be available. If not, you see a lot of Errors and warnings in the eventlog.

Use of ADOBE form with SAP workflow for R/3 4.6C

Hi All,
We are thinking of usage of ADOBE form feature as one of options to design workflow for creation and maintenance of Info record like Material Master creation. BTW the existing systems are EP 7.0 with the back end SAP ERP system 4.6 C
We would like to just check the feasibility of usage of ADOBE interactive form for above scenario. Would it be possible to go ahead with the above concept or what would be pre-requisites or risks involved?
1. How would system identify the role to direct the Adobe form for approval in case the form is raised by multi department?
2. How can the data validations in ADOBE form happen with reference to SAP std. tables?
An early reply would be appreciated.
Rgds,

Hi,
If you use EP 70 you can used guided procedure for your requirement .
