Payroll area locked.How to Stop the workflow during this period ?

Dear experts,
In the travel workflows, after all the approvals, there is a standard task(Custom) with a custom method(BUS2089 Enhanced).
This method updates the infotype 2002 (Attendances). This works fine for the whole month except during the payroll run which will be for 3-4 days after 20th of every month.
We have maintained the exception for this when the control record is in the status '1' or '4', by passing a temporary error to the workflow.
SELECT SINGLE * FROM t569v WHERE abkrs = 'Z0'.
IF sy-subrc EQ 0 AND ( t569v-state EQ '1' OR
t569v-state EQ '4' ).
return-message_v1 = 'Employee Master data locked for Payroll'.
exit_return 1001 return-message_v1 return-message_v2
return-message_v3 return-message_v4.
As i understand the workflows can be restarted after solving the temporary errors.But this Temp error will only be solved after the payroll record is becomes 'Exit Payroll'.
The system attempts for 3 times in the period of 30 minutes and then the tempoarry error becomes a permanent error and this way the workflows goes into a permanent error which cannot be restarted even after the payroll is exit.Due to this may workflows are unable to update the Infotyp 2002 however their trips are approved at all levels.
This counter of 3 times and 30 minutes, I belive the system is taking from the error monitoring program (RSWWERRE / SWWERRE) in SWU3.
I am thinking of putting the workflow into 'Wait' state till the period when the Payroll is locked. This way , we can avoid the workflow even from going into temporary error.
Can anyone help in this regard ? Do we need to add a WAIT step in the WF Definition or control in the method code itself ?
Does WAIT UNTIL (ABAP Keyword) works for 3-4 days of payroll run if we implement in the method code itself?

Hi Sameer,
But , Can you pls put some more information on why we need to avoid WAIT UNTIL in Tthe ABAP ?
Wait Steps are only used where you have 1 event which the workflow would expect ...moreover this would require more effort in terms of implementation...( you will have to create an event manually after your payroll is open).
I would suggest create an virtual attrubute of the BO which will populate a whetherr the Payroll is locked or unlocked... then use this attribute as a start condition in the conditions tab of your step. this would stop the workflow until the payrol is open...

How to stop the workflow

Hi. i want to know the process of how to cancel the workflow, stop the workflow.
i know ho to reject the workflow once it is initiated.
regards
Arifuddin

Hi Arifuddin,
Are you trying to cancel the workflow using PL/SQL, if so make use of API 'WF_ENGINE.ABORTPROCESS' to cancel any active workflow.
You can pass parameters as, 'ITEMTYPE', 'ITEMKEY', 'PROCESS NAME' and 'WF_ENGINE.ENG_FORCE'.
Hope this helps.

How to purge the workflow which is in process

Hi Friends,
I am facing one problem in the AME Workflow.
when a user submit a page for approval process, workflow engine invokes . and in the hr_api_transcations table transacation id is created for that workflow transacation. now the problem is, if i purge that workflow process using concurrent program 'PURGE OBSELETE WORKFLOW RUNTIME DATA' . it is deleting the workflow. but when i see the hr_api_transacation table still the transacation id for that workflow is active.
Example :-
when i see through through the responsibility (workflow administrator web applications)=>Administrator workflow=>Status monitor
when i type the item key say some x and search for the workflow status i cant see the workflow status. i can see it is deleted.
but when i type the same item key in the hr_api_transacation
like :- select * from hr_api_transactions where item_key='X' i can see the status of this transacation is active and workflow is in pending.
can anyone explain me why system is behaving like.. how to stop the workflow process and how to delete the transacation id from the table.
Thanks in advance

Switching off the workflows...

During actual production cutover, we need a means of switching off team center and other workflow updates that send information out of SAP during conversion runs and switch them back on again after conversion.
We need something that we can use (like a flag or switch) repeatedly for the release
HEY guys anyidea what can be done about this.. .need to this ASAP... going live in a few days....
Thanks in advance
Update :
For example
Now for a vendor create or change workflow.. we neeed to switch on or off the workflow depending on who is running it.. no which is std WF for vendor ?? i know questions are bit random... any help will do at this point
The business object BUS1008 for vendoe shows a stop sign...what exactly does that mean
The business object BUS2020 ACCOUNTS PAYABLE for vendoR is not implemented
The businedd obhect BUS3008 is active but the event is not implemented or released ..
These are all the details that i have... now i am not really sure who told these ppl that a workflow is triggered at all which sends the data to the Team center..
Any ideas ???

Hi,
Though I did not understand what you exactly need I can answer some of the questions you have asked below:
A stop sign in a Business Object indicates that the BO is obsolete and there is a newer version that is available. For example in the case of the vendor the newer version in LFA1.
To understand the various phases in a BO development then refer to this link:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw2004s/helpdata/en/c5/e4ab0e453d11d189430000e829fbbd/frameset.htm
Now coming to the main question of switch off the workflow depending on some criteria. I guess this can be acheived through start conditions. Though a proper business scenario is needed to justify why some people are exempted from the workflow process you can do this through start conditions. You will need to maintain a table where you update the table with the users for whom the workflow is not active and at runtime check the "Document created by" user and check it against the table and update an attribute and have the workflow start on the basis of this attribute.
Hope this helps,
Sudhi

Stop the deprecated madness bring back image data bindings to!!!

I have used dreamweaver since it was from macromedia, all the companys i worked for had dreamweaver, now that i decided to get my own for home and not use the company version things get worse and worse since this creative cloud bulls.... why is the only features use full on dreamweaver been deprecated?? i really cant understand why hate so much the customers that use it for dynamic building, whats the point always shooting us in the head, do you guys know how frsutrated we get when you first bought interkat then change it to the addt then it was deprecated, so dreamweaver was left with a few options for dynamic database producing, now its been removed and we are gived an extension that totalys sucks more than 50% of the features that we had with any other version are lost, example when trying to insert an image i have to do it all manually coding because now we dont have any more to pick dynamic images no databindings for that wtf....Dreamweaver is becoming just an expensive CSS editing tool with for that i can just use bootstrap and any other editor, using dreamweaver we are suppose to save time when developing websites, for a static site we can even use open office writer and save it has html.
Please stop the madness on taking out of the game dynamic options i have spent so much money on other extensions would hate to loss money again like i did with interkat, please listen to use stop it

Hello David,
I understand your analysis, but I also share the "ranters" one.
Like you have said, Adobe is a business.
But we are too.
Now tell me why should we pay that high a price for DW, when we can get a free editor like Netbeans with more or less all the features needed in web design/web development ? If we have to hand-code database connections ourselves, we are better off with Netbeans for instance, which allows step-by-step debugging, to boot. Server Behaviors and DW's extensibilty is (was?) the gem of DW. Take this out, and for many of us professionals, DW loses its appeal.
Like xadesadex stated, Sever Behaviors are not just a visual tool, it is a huge time-saver for building custom web sites, which many of us -- in this era of heavy frameworks, bloated CMS and other bootstraps -- still do on a daily basis. How fast can you build forms for CRUD functionnality without DW's Server Behaviors? And if you extend DW with your own code, you can even save more time. Take the late Fireworks : what would it be without John Dunning's and Aaron Beall's extensions? Haft-less productive a tool...
But in this removal, Adobe takes not only the risk to lose that fraction (how big/small?) of customers who use Server Behaviors on a daily basis, they also take the risk that another fraction of customers will leave because Adobe are presently giving a strong signal that what DW can enable them to do today, DW will not necessarily enable them to do in the future. In today's market, it takes a huge amount of time to learn a new software, change one's worflow and be productive again, as you know. But now, Adobe stubbornly refuse to answer the many ranting/protesting/unhappy posts about this removal, which destroys an indispensable asset for any business: trust from customers...
Adobe is a business, but we are too.
Removing this and that feature will end up closing the gap beetween DW and its competitors, some of which are free. And there will come a time when we will stop asking/ranting/being unhappy and take time to change our workflow and... software.
And the removal of Server Behaviors is a huge step in this direction.

Transaction brackets of the workflow has been damaged

Hi,
I am integrating workflow with the HR Processes and Forms using HCM.
The process is new hiring and in configuration I have given the workflow name which is copy of the standard workflow(WS18900008). The event used is draft_created.
When I execute the process and press the Save Draft, everything goes fine, the workflow gets completed but for the step Save Form Data(WS17900260) throws the following error:
Executing Batch work Item: Transaction brackets of the workflow has been damaged.
The task is TS17900108.
Not able to understand what is this error and to which it is related.
Pls help.

Look for SAP Notes as this is SAP standard code.
Short Text
Transaction brackets of the workflow has been damaged
Diagnosis
When executing the workflow with the ID , the transaction brackets were destroyed by a commit command ('C') or a rollback work command ('R'). This command ('') was stopped from the implementation program of the object type. Access takes place, for example, when a condition is evaluated or when the container operation is executed. Access may only have a read character which is why a commit or rollback work command is not necessary.
System Response
The system has written a log entry. Uncontrolled commit or rollback work commands can affect the restart function of the workflow system. This restart function is only necessary in the case of errors. The current workflow instance is executed further.
Procedure
Check the implementation program of the object types and remove the corresponding ABAP instructions.

How to stop the Notification of Leave Approval in UWL

We are creating a new application for approval.
So we want that after request sent by user the request shoul go to new appl table not in the UWL.
How can we stop the request to go into UWL.

Hi Anumit,
i think in your requirement as you said you don't want to display items in universalworklist items under tasks so you can deactivate the connectors to UWL so that it won't reflect in UWL ,I suppose.Just try this ,just go to UWL administration there you can change the configuration itself.Follow this path
system administration>System configuration>Universal worklist&Workflow>Universalworklist adminstration>
Here you can define connections to systems as item providers for the Universal Worklist. The 'Connector Type' indicates the type of items retrieved through the connection. you can deactivate the alert connector or workflow connector based on your requirement. I hope it would work for you.

How to install the oracle workflow, I have download the workflow 263

I have download the workflow 263, but when i install it, it always show it the error.
"This is not a 10g oracle-home, please abort the installation".
I am new to oracle workflow.

In my case I have already installed the 10 Database, and I have carefully set Oracle_Home in my Windows Server 2003 environment variables parameters to the right directory
"D:\oracle\product\10.2.0\db_1", and on the page where im suppose to select the product to install on the workflow universal installer screen. I choose leave it at the first option which is already choosen "Oracle Workflow 2.6.3.0.0", i don't choose the second option middletier since I donnot need it currently, but I keep getting this error of
"This is not a 10G ORACLE_HOME" when I click next for it to start installing.
Before I usually try to include this configuration parameter in my database sever parameter file "aq_tm_processes=2" but whenever i do that using a text editor, the database server crashes, and I'll have to do a fresh installation before I can use the database, this time I stopped trying to edit the server parameter file and I tried installing the workflow server straight with the steps above but the error, please any assistance will be appreciated. Thanks.

What is the workflow document web services service?

Workflow approval message is stuck in the inbox. It mail_status is mail. It's status is open.
I can see the approval message in the inbox and it is holding up other emails as it's just sitting there.
I can't see any reason for it to be sitting there so I bounced the WF Notification Mailer using:
service_components -> WorkflowMailer Service -> Stop All wait for it to stop completely then -> start all
So after starting all -> the workflow services (all 3 ) State is Activated, but there is a Big red X in the Status and the status of the workflow I'm trying to get out of the inbox is still open.
There is nothing in the logs yet so I can't see what that big red X means.
So I decide to stop and start the WF services one by one.
I stop workflow document web services service first. As soon as it starts to stop, the Worfkflow agent listener and the Workflow Mailer suddenly start up, the big red X goes away and the messages in the inbox all process.
What's up with that? What is " the workflow document web services service?" and why is it hanging my Mailer?

What is the application release?

Problem with the Workflow Notification Mailer

Hi Community,
Recently we have just installed the E-Business Suite release 12.0.4 from e-delivery.oracle.com for Linux x86-64 using the VISION Demo database, in order to see and test the release for a future upgrade of our Production environment.
The installation was succesful and we setting up the Workflow Notification Mailer with the data of our SMTP server in order to outbound notifications to that server.
Now, In order to continue testing that instance, we have just executed the scripts to stop de APPS tier and to start the APPS tier, and it seems that the workflow notification mailer can not establish network connection with the e-mail server (Exchange server) after starting the APPS tier.
The Linux server has defined in its hosts file the Exchange e-mail server, and from operating system, we can establish a ping connection.
Any help will be appreciated.
Luis.

Hi,
I had the same issue and I found that Oracle Workflow does not attach files. The solution is to create a table with blob, clob, ordsys, etc data types and reference to the file from a notification and a message.
I did an interface with java to read the document, and then put the link in the oracle workflow message. The link opened the file.
So, for any workflow development is recomended to use your own Entity-Relation Model, including the process number and the files attached to that process.

Stopping the automator app doesn't end the child process

Fairly new to Automator and I created an app to start a process for hosting a small server for VoIP. However, when I stop the app, the child process that was created continues to run and I have to end the child process in the activity monitor using the stop command. Is there any way to fix this?
The workflow used in the app is as follows
cd /Applications/teamspeak3-server_mac
./ts3server_mac

Perhaps you should check the Console logs to find out what's going on. One thing that I would examine is that if you run the app in the Dock, then it cannot quit the Dock hence the app fails to properly run. Just a thought.
