Creating a workflow to give permissions to a SharePoint folder using Impersonation Step

Hi There,
I have been tasked with creating a workflow in my organise that will allow our users with (Contributor access) to grant people access upon creating a folder in our Shared Documents library.
Currently when our users create a folder, they need to logged a call with site administrators to granted the relevant people access to the folder and its contents.
Is it possible to create a solution that will kick off automatically upon creation of a folder and allow the Creator Only to grant a subset of users permissions to the folder using the Impersonation Step?
Any suggestions would be highly appreciated.

Tibz

Hi There
Thank you for your response.
I managed to create a workflow that can be started automatically upon the creation of a folder in my document library. I then added an Impersonation step where I used the "Remove list Item Permissions" & "Add List Item Permissions" actions.
The challenge I am faced with is on the Remove Permissions action, I want to remove all inherited permissions for all existing users and only leave Users with Full Control. Is there a way to select All Existing Users in one function and perhaps
pass that as a "Selected Users" parameter? Currently I have to select the users/groups individually and there are over 100 existing users/groups to choose from.
Any thoughts on how I can work around this?

Creating a Workflow to print PDFs with certain attributes

I work in the media dept of a college and am looking for an easier way to print students coursework which they export from Adobe Indesign CS4 as a PDF file.
I have managed to enable printing all PDFs on Tabloid extra paper from my network printer, by setting the default print settings. I have the printer in my dock so all I need to do is drag the PDFs in a folder to the printer icon on the dock and it prints all PDFs.
This is great, however I would like to have more control over this process. If possible I would like to print only the PDFs that have a certain format.
The students are supposed to export there PDFs from Indesign with the "spreads" checkbox checked. This produces a document that has a number of A4 sized pages in portrait and 1 A3 sized page in landscape.
I want to know if there is anyway of printing of the correctly formatted PDFs, whilst skipping the incorrectly formatted PDFs, without having to go through all the PDFs and check the formatting before printing?
Any help or ideas on this would be great.
Thanks

How to get the Asset's current step under a specific workflow process via API?

Everyone,
Is there a way to get the asset's current step for a specific workflow process by the WebCenter Sites API? We are showing out the asset created within the WebCenter Sites in another application via its API. We would like some actions get to be done once determined assets went into a specific step of a workflow process. Any suggestions are welcomed.
Regards!

Here is some information from the FDK Programmer's guide page 115:
IMPORTANT: A valid text range can span multiple paragraphs, subcolumns, or text frames.
It cant span multiple flows, footnotes, table cells, or text lines.
It is possible for a document to have no text selection or insertion point at all. This can occur in
the following circumstances:
● One or more graphic objects in the document are selected
● One or more entire table cells in the document are selected
● There is no selection of any type in the document
So, I did select one or more entire table cells in the document in my first test. It's logical that the result was not like expected.
But selecting one or more entire table cells is a crucial requirement for my plugin, is there anyway to get things straight?
Simply put, I want to enable users to select one or more table cells in the document, and I want to get the object handles of the first cell and the last cell through Framemaker API calls. How?
Many thanks in advance!

Steps to create a budget process

Hi,
Could you please describe me the exhaustive list of steps to create a budget process on Hyperion planning?
thanks,

Hi,
1. Create a new Planning Unit Hierarchy
2. Give the Hierarchy Name and Select Process Management Template
Process Management Template are of 3 types:
•     Bottom Up – The process follows a pre-specified hierarchy where the user does not have the option of choosing which user to promote to in the hierarchy. The process is automatically promoted to the next level user.
•     Distribute – The process ownership is first given to an administrator who then decides as to which user should get ownership and start with the process. It is more of a Top down approach.
•     Free Form – In this process template, each user has to select the user to whom the process needs to be promoted.
3. Select the entities for which process management has to be done from Primary and subhierarchy selection
4. Check on “Planning Units” to view only the entities for which process management are enabled
5. Assign Owners (Users) and Reviewers (Users/Groups) to the respective entities
6. Save the Planning Unit Hierarchy
7. Assign Scenario and Version to the Planning Unit Hierarchy by clicking on Action. Select appropriate “Scenario” and “Version”
8. Browse to Manage Process and Select the Scenario and Version for which Workflow Process is to be started and Select “Tree View”
9. Expand the Entity Hierarchy and start the entity.
10. Planning Unit hierarchy is started and so the Process Status changes to 1st pass.

Adding Validator step in MDG Customer workflow

Hello All,
I need to add validator step in MDG - Customer workflow - WS54300003 and process is, requestor will create CR and it should go to Validator. Once he approves then it should go to final approval team. Currently it is going to final approval stage at first step itself.
I added that additional step(Validator) to workflow templete(WS54300003) under processing modeling->workfloe->other MDG workflow->Define Change Request Step Numbers. Also, assigned process at ...-->Assign processor to Change Request Step Number (Simple Workflow).
Seems i am still missing some thing. Could you please guide me what else need to be done? we are on MDG 6.1

step numbers are hard-coded in this workflow template (WS54300003). if you open any task container, you will see the value of the step in the container of that task.
any way, you should not modify workflow WS54300003 as that is considered modification to standard objects. you can copy it to a custom workflow template and then add any new step as you like. you can assign whatever number you like to any step as long as the numbers in the workflow template are consistent with the numbers assigned in the MDGIMG configuration node.
A recommended solution is to use the rule-based workflow template. your MDG process will be much more dynamic and a lot easier to modify/enhance going forward.
this document can help you understand how you can use the rule-based workflow template: How to Fill MDG Rule-Based Workflow Decision Tables

Want to create a workflow

I want to create a workflow in a task list wherein if a user do not complete the task assigned to him within given date I and a couple of others users should receive email alerts.
Please let me how to do it...I am using SharePoint Online 2013 and new to it so not familiar with SharePoint. I tried creating a workflow from the task list but no luck. I am not familiar with using SharePoint designer so if someone could help me with
steps it would be really helpful.

Hi Charlie,
For common issues, you could firstly calculate the number of days between created date and due date, then set workflow to pause until due date, and check task status, finally decide whether to send reminder.
You could refer to :
http://aspe-it.com/blog/2013/how-to-create-a-task-with-a-reminder-in-sharepoint-2010/
There are possibility of changing due date, and here is a good article for this situation:

OAM - Create User Workflow

Hi experts !
I am creating "Create User" workflow using QuickStart . However, when i edit the workflow and set the participants for both "Initial Step" and "Error Reporting" to "Anyone", and try to save the workflow after saving the steps, it prompts "Please set participants for step(s) : 1,3". when i try to verify if the participants have in fact been set to Anyone, the check box next to Anyone is again blank.
Please help me out.
Regards

Has this workflow been executed a couple of times? I mean, do you see any open tickets for this WF definition? In that case, you need to close/delete all open tickets and then try modifying the participants.

Tasks created in workflow don't get aggregated

We have the My Tasks portion working fine for aggregating tasks from our Sharepoint sites when users create the tasks inside the browser. I created a workflow to create tasks and assign them to users which seems to be working fine. The only problem is that
none of the tasks that are created during the workflow show up in the user's My Tasks aggregation page.
Search is on a continuous crawl, Work Management is using the same account as the My Site application pool and tasks appear in the My Tasks page if users go through SP and create the tasks, so I know Work Management is working.
I have tried running the workflow in regular mode and in an app step but I still don't see them aggregated. I can go to the workflow list and see all the tasks created and I've even waited 24 hours, but they never show up.
Anyone ever create tasks inside a workflow and have them show up in your My Tasks?

Hi,
Based on your description, my understanding is that none of the tasks that are created during the workflow show up in the My Tasks aggregation page.
When a user created a workflow, here is a choice of Task List and History List.
Choosing a task list and updating the workflow to stores the tasks, compare the results.

Steps to create LOGICAL DATABASE in sap

hi guys,
i have gone through many documents about LDB. But, i didnt get the steps to create a LDB.
plz provide me with the steps to be followed to create a LDB.
thnx,
shivaa.

Hi Shiva,
This might help you!
Logical database structures
There are three defining entities in an SAP logical database. You must be clear on all three in order to create and use one.
Table structure: Your logical database includes data from specified tables in SAP. There is a hierarchy among these tables defined by their foreign keys (all known to SAP), and you are going to define a customized relationship between select tables. This structure is unique and must be defined and saved.
Data selection: You may not want or need every item in the referenced tables that contributes to your customized database. There is a selection screen that permits you to pick and choose.
Database access programming: Once youu2019ve defined your logical database, SAP will generate the access subroutines needed to pull the data in the way you want it pulled.
Creating your own logical database
ABAP/4 (Advanced Business Application Programming language, version 4) is the language created by SAP for implementation and customization of its R/3 system. ABAP/4 comes loaded with many predefined logical databases that can construct and table just about any conventional business objects you might need in any canned SAP application. However, you can also create your own logical databases to construct any custom objects you care to define, as your application requires in ABAP/4. Hereu2019s a step-by-step guide:
1. Call up transaction SLDB (or transaction SE36). The path you want is Tools | ABAP Workbench | Development | Programming Environment | Logical Databases. This screen is called Logical Database Builder.
2. Enter an appropriate name in the logical database name field. You have three options on this screen: Create, Display, and Change. Choose Create.
3. Youu2019ll be prompted for a short text description of your new logical database. Enter one. Youu2019ll then be prompted to specify a development class.
4. Now comes the fun part! You must specify a root node, or a parent table, as the basis of your logical database structure. You can now place subsequent tables under the root table as needed to assemble the data object you want. You can access this tree from this point forward, to add additional tables, by selecting that root node and following the path Edit | Node | Create. Once youu2019ve saved the structure you define in this step, the system will generate the programming necessary to access your logical database. The best part is you donu2019t have to write a single line of code.
Watch out!
The use of very large tables will degrade the performance of a logical database, so be aware of that trade-off. Remember that some tables in SAP are very complex, so they will be problematic in any user-defined logical database.
Declaring a logical database
Hereu2019s another surprising feature of logical databases: You do not assign them in your ABAP/4 Code. Instead, the system requires that you specify logical databases as attributes. So when you are creating a report, have your logical database identifier (the name you gave it) on hand when you are defining its attributes on the Program Attributes screen. The Attributes section of the screen (the lower half) will include a Logical database field, where you can declare your logical database.
Logical databases for increasing efficiency
Why else would you want to create a logical database? Consider that the logical databases already available to you begin with a root node and proceed downward from there. If the data object you wish to construct consists of items that are all below the root node, you can use an existing logical database program to extract the data, then trim away what you donu2019t want using SELECT statementsu2014or you can increase the speed of the logical database program considerably by redefining the logical database for your object and starting with a table down in the chain. Either way, youu2019ll eliminate a great deal of overhead.
Reward if useful.
Thankyou,
Regards.
