Starting workflow, when importing records

Hello!
Is it possible to start workflow, when records were imported with Import Manager and the import action was set as Update or Replace?
Thanks,
Vika

Hi Viktoria,
It is possible to trigger workflow whenever records are imported by setting the Trigger action while defining the workflow as "Record Import".
Hope this answers your query,

Automatic start workflow for ALL records

Hi Experts,
Does anyone know a way to start workflow automatically for ALL records without human interference?
I want to start workflows every day. For instance to recalculate, re-validate, re-assign or syndicate ALL records of a table.
Kind regards,
Job Jansen

Hello Job Jansen
I suppose recalculate and validate all recodrs once a day don't make sense when that records is the same
and records wasn't changing
However, you can use Autolaunch = Threshold with Max Time = 24 hour(for example)
workflow will fire when Max Time say greater then time last launched job.
And few another ways:
1) you can use task sheduler for launch import manager and turn autolaunch workflow when it do import
2) turn automatic import process(MDIS) once a day and use workflow for add records
3) developed Java application which used MDM JAVA API for start workflow

Hi,
It looks like an interesting requirement and
1. As per your problem, we are not able to distiniuish between the Changed event whether it is really came because of decreasing value or is it because of change in release indicator at header level.
2. Check this BADI IF_EX_ME_TRIGGER_ATP for ME22n - if you look at TRIGGER_ATP method of this BADI you have access to PO header old and new, and also PO line item old and new. Since you have access to old and new header values and also lineitem values,
when <old header-relindicator> = <new header- relindicator> and <old line item value> is lessthan <new line item value> rasie a new custom event on BUS2012. Say ZBUS2012.SPECIALCASE ( for this create ZBUS2012 and delegate it to BUS2012)
Before doing the real code in the BADI, just implement the BADI with out any code and put a breakpoint in this methid. Put ME22n in debug and see whether the contorl is coming to this BADI or not and also check whether you are able to access header/linitem values old and new. if you are able to then we are done with it.
3. Associate BUS2012.SPECIALCASE also as triggering event ( apart from standard RELEASETEPCREATED) of your workflow and in the workflow create a parallel fork ( parallel to your approval process ) and create a step for 'Wait for BUS2012.SPECIALCASE) and connect this branch to End of workflow ( this will take care of terminating the existing workflow before decreasing value)
i am bit creative here in suggesting above , give it a try and see !!. However general way to handle sceanrio's like this to handle them in Check Function Modules, but for your case its bit tough as you will not have access to old header and old line item values.
Just try above and update me if it works

Start Workflow when Upload File using drag and drop

Hi,
I am working with SharePoint 2013.
I have a workflow needed to be started and run only once after a document is uploaded into the document library. The document library has
required custom columns with default values. If I set workflow starting option as 'On Created', when user got redirected to the edit form and click 'Save', there would be error as
"The <filename> has been modified by <user> on <datetime>". Besides the unwanted error dialog, the metadata entered by users are not reflected. I understand the issue is because the workflow had already started before
the edit form showed and it modified the file.
So I changed the starting option to 'On Changed", created an additional column to record if the workflow has been run or not to avoid running the whole workflow more than once. This works fine for normal upload. However on drag and drop, the
event 'On Changed' is not triggered and the workflow is not started. I checked the version of the file but in both normal upload and drag and drop, there is another version after the first version. But
only the version of normal upload triggers the workflow.
I read an article about some Mode = Upload on the edit form.
https://go4answers.webhost4life.com/Example/workflow-triggered-during-upload-user-149297.aspx
It seems that the Mode = Upload is not there anymore for normal upload, but it's still there for drag and drop. Not sure about this
Is there a solution for my case. Basically I want to start the workflow only once when the document is uploaded normally or via drag and drop. For normal upload, user can
edit the custom metadata right after they browse the file. For drag and drop, the
metadata will be set as default values.
Thank you.

I'm still researching your issue, but as an interesting note... This is an issue only when I use a 2013 style workflow. I do not get the error when using a 2010 style workflow.

List workflow with "Start workflow when an item is changed" will run twice when creating a new wiki page

I have created the following workflow on the wiki page library to run when an item is changed:-
And it will send emails as follow:-
Currently when a user creates a new wiki page and he enters the wiki page name.
Then he enters the content and click on save.
Then two duplicate emails from the workflow will be sent ? So can anyone advice why creating a new wiki page will fire the workflow twice ?
Thanks

Hi john
Have you see the library where the wiki pages are stored. You can see how many occurrences of the workflow has been run.
Anyway, instead of using "wait for", can we put a condition that says, if Assign To:Approver is not empty. then email.
i use if instead of wait and it worked well, thanks

Starting Workflow when new BOM created and exist one change.

Hi All,
Please kindly help that I have to create a workflow for trigger the BOM creation or change.
And now I can't find what is the trigger event is for both of BOM creation or change. Could you please let me know which event should I used for triggering.
Thanks
Jack.

hi jack,
As agardip as said create a subtype of the bus BUS1080 and then add two events CREATE and CHANGE and to these events give the action in SWEC and now.
In ur work flow u can have two triggering events in ur basic data one for CREATE and other for CHANGE activate both.

Starting workflow from messages

Hi,
I am trying out the possibility of starting workflows when a message is raised (Error/Warning). Once i create the message to workflow linkage i am able to start the workflow from the message long text.
In this scenario is there a way to start the workflow automatically whenever that particular error message occurs?
For example consider transaction PA30. Now if i try to enter a character value in place of personnel number i get an error message "Enter a Numeric Value". Now once i link the workflow to the message i am able to start the workflow manually. But can this be done automatically on the occurence of this message?
Thanks,
Prasath N

Hi Karun,
Thanks for your response. I have done this already and it is workfing fine when i start the workflow manually. I would like to know if there is an option to start the workflow automatically (without pressing the workflow button) when the message is raised.
Thanks,
Prasath N

Odd frames added to start of audio export from LPX when imported into FCPX

Running into a weird issue exporting audio out of Logic Pro (10.0.6) for import into FCPX (10.1.1) - Logic is introducing extra frames (varies between 2 to 4 frames) at the front of exported audio, becomes detectable when imported back into FCPX.
I do a lot of work where I sync music performances on camera that are recorded in audio and MIDI, and have to deliver remixed audio with picture AND a .MID file that all sync. Workflow used to be shoot video on a C100 and another DSLR with either an audio feed or live mic patched to the camera, while Logic recorded the MIDI performance and any ambient audio via separate mics and pres. Shoot always had some kind of "slated" start marker on camera, in camera audio, and in Logic. Camera edits were edited in FCPX, exported as a Quicktime with the "slate" for a start marker, then audio and MIDI handled in Logic.
This always used to work thru to last fall, when we took a hiatus.
Upon resuming some final shooting in the last two weeks, our audio edits are always running 2-4 frames behind FCPX. It's a consistent offset for an entire export (so there's no drift, no jitter within the files - but the slate tones might be 2 frames and 17 subframes behind and the whole audio file runs behind.) Another export might be 3 frames 2 subframes behind. Always kind of random in the amount of drift - but never more than 4 frames.
Tried a test where I imported just the camera audio in Logic as an extracted audio track, then exported same audio file back to the Quicktime but left the original audio in the video - Logic's exported audio ran behind sync from the original.
Obviously, I'm paying attention to frame rates, sample rates, etc.
As a test, I exported an XML out of FCPX, imported it into Logic, performed some edits, and used the File>Export>Project to FinalCut Pro XML - so everything matched across the board. Opened the export in FCPX - audio ran behind sync again.
If it was just audio I was concerned about, I'd just line it up in FCPX and call it done - but my exported MIDI file NEEDS to be in sync with the picture AND the audio... and wasting time calculating the Logic offset error is a huge detour from getting this work done quickly.
I thought maybe there could be a plug-in issue, but it happened even in the extracted audio from the Quicktime with no plug-ins in any of the signal chains.
Any ideas?

Well… here's a clunky workaround.
It's either a problem with the exported FCPX-XML or the way Logic Pro X interprets the XML.
The simple test here was to put a clip in the FCPX timeline and export it as an AIFF and then export an XML too.
Import the XML into Logic, then import the AIFF as a new track. By default the Logic project is 120BPM. By analyzing the xml-based track and the aiff track, the xml track has an added 164 ticks to the beginning of the referenced video-audio.
Move the playhead to zero, zoom in to the timeline and drag the tick field to 164 then blade all your tracks, then click/drag the bladed tracks to zero. Voila!
It seems to only affect the first audio file. So for example, when I have 10 video clips in my FCPX timeline, only the first audio clip has the added 164 ticks.
Now on to the next challenge…
It's not enough to just de-compound your clips because L and J cuts get referenced to the VIDEO, not the audio underneath.
So… In FCPX you MUST select each clip and choose Break Apart Clip Items from the Clip Menu. Perhaps this is old news but thought I'd mention it here in case others were having problems.
Let's hope Apple steps up their xml game and realizes that when I choose export XML-Audio from the xml popup menu… I want it to send the duration of the audio, not the duration of the attached video.
Ergh! Well… as my friends say… "We're still in the stone age with all this technology."
Happy editing all!

Start an executable from ODI when a record is inserted

Hi All,
I'm new with ODI and I have a problem. Is it possible that ODI to "feel" when a record is inserted in a mapped Oracle table and start a program? Could I use shell scripts for this?
Thanks in advance,
Teodora

Hi cdmnagaraj,
I give you my example and how I've fixed it. Hope that it will help you.
So... the most important requirements:
- I have an application that writes a file and a record in a parameter table.
- When this records appear I write a record in another's application parameters table.
- The next step is to start the second application.
- When the process is done, it deletes the record from the second parameter table. No odi action
- When I see that there is no record, I must update the status of the parameters record in the first table.
How I did:
- wrote a package where I put the steps, starting with writing in the record in the second parameters table, up to the updating the status in the first parameters table
- generated a scenario for this package
- wrote another package where I put the first step where I wait for the record to appear in the first parameters table
- the second step is the scenario (just drag and drop it)
- if the scenario finishes in error I send a mail
- if the scenario finishes ok I return to the first step.
Right click on the first step and mention that it is the first step.
Launch the package. If it finishes successful, you will see that another log entry appears and waits for another data.
Regards,
Teodora

IPhone 4s Voice Memo App has 5 second delay when the record button is pressed. When it starts recording, it goes from 0 seconds to 5 or so seconds recorded. This happens randomly and often and sometimes has the delay but starts at zero. Solution Anyone?

After iOS 7 update, my iPhone 4s Voice Memo App has 5 second delay when the record button is pressed. When it starts recording, it goes from 0 seconds to 5 or so seconds that it shows has recorded. This happens randomly and often, sometimes it will have the 5+ second delay but starts recording at zero seconds. Besides the delay it has been working fine as far as saving and playback is concerned. I have plenty of storage on the phone itself and it NEVER had this problem before I updated to iOS 7. I've reset the phone a couple times by holding down the power and home buttons at the same time. The reason I have an issue with this is that I'm always recording song ideas, melodies, and scratch takes; what I'm saying is when I come up with an idea I need to be able to know that when I hit record it will start right then so I don't forget anything that has just popped in my mind.
Does anyone have a solution or suggestion?
Thanks

Whenever I try to upload photos into iPhoto, they load but when importing it just stops a picyure or two into it and then just sits there. I can't stop the import so I have to shut off my camera when it is importing and start again. Help?

Whenever I try to upload photos into iPhoto, they load but when importing it just stops a picture or two into it and then just sits there. I can't stop the import so I have to shut off my camera when it is importing and start again. Does anyone know how to fix this?

As a test launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and create a new, test library. Tru importing from your camera to it and to see if the same problem persists. Does it?

How to start a workflow when a value in specific column is changed?

HI !!
I would like that my workflow will run only if a value on a specific colunm will change.
is there a way to do it without using a third colunm ?
thank you !
nikita.

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you wanted to start a workflow when a value in specific column is changed.
When you create workflow, if you check the “start the workflow automatically when an item is changed”, the workflow will be started automatically once the item is edited.
In the other word, no matter which column we changed, the the workflow will be started automatically.
As a workaround, we can add condition or action to make the workflow excute the next step only if the value in specific column is changed.
There are two options to achieve it.
Use the “Wait for Field Change in Current Item" action”. If you add the action at the first, the workflow will excute the next step until the column is chaned to the specific value.
2. User the “If any value equals to value” condition. If you add the condition at the first, the workflow will excute the next step if the condition is satisfied.
Thank you for your understanding.
Best Regards,
Linda Li

How to trigger a workflow when a bank record of an employee is delimited

Hi Friends,
I want to trigger a workflow when a bank record of an employee is delimited(Infotype IT0009). When delimiting the bank info, the old record's ENDDA is changed and a new record is created with the BEGDA. In this case two events are triggered one is BANKDETAIL-CREATED and other one is BANKDETAIL-DELETED.
Which one should i use to trigger my workflow.
Note : If we use the creation of new record for triggering workflow, then in case when the record is created for a new employee then the workflow will be triggered. To control this can we check whether there is an existing entry in IT009 for the employee or not. If an entry already exist then trigger the workflow else not. Is this ok? Please advice.

Hi sapient,
Here i think none of the events would actually help you in achieving what you want because you want to trigger the workflow when the account is delimited not when the account is either created or deleted.Please look for some other information to trigger your workflow.Will get back to you if i had any ideas.
Thanks,
Bhumika

How to trigger a workflow when a info record is changed?

Hello All,
I would like to trigger a workflow when the conditions from a info record are changed?
What business object should be used?
Thanks in Advance
Rui

Hi,
for these kinds of issues,
foirst check if a uefull event already exists in the system
for this you first actiave the event trace: SWELS.
Then you change the info record.
And then you read the event log with SWEL.
If there's no event, you may eventually have to create it in an exit with SAP_WAPI_CREATE_EVENT fm
Kind regards, Rob Dielemans
