Succesfactors - Business Rule to trigger workflow (not triggering)

Hi,
I have used Business Rules and linked them to Base Objects to default values before and this worked just fine.
Now I am trying to trigger a workflow from the moment a save is performed in the specific portlet.
The rule is kicked off (I tested with defaulting a value and that worked correctly) but I don't get the notification that a workflow is started.
This is how I configured my rule:
The SF documentation talks a lot about using the pre-defined functions, but there is no real example for triggering workflows.
I'm probably missing something... any suggestions?
Already thanks in advance for your suggestions!
Cheers,
Gerrit

Hi Sharma,
          There may be many reasons if the mail is not delivered from SAP .
1. First Check with the transaction SCOT ( and SOST )
   This will tell you whether SMTP Configured is working fine or not.
   If there are pending ( Waiting ) items in SCOT , then it is not WF isssue ...it's related SMTP .
2. You can very well test the SAP system for mails by sending a sample mail to your email id from SBWP
3. If SCOT is working then you call drill down your analysis to application specific things i.e WOrkflow
Hope this helps ur analysis

Workflow not triggered..in client server

Hi Friends..
i have developed one workflow for po release in local system it works fine..
But i developed the same workflow in client system it was not triggered..
i checked in swue the event was triggered perfectly..
But the workflow not triggered.. if i click the workflow overview in me23n it shows
"there are no workflows that are already worked with this object" so i dont know why this problem..' occur.. this problem arises at the time time of development in local system.. but now it was cleared..at that time release strategy not maintained.. but now release strategy also maintained.. but i dont know the exact reason and how can i solve this kind of issue...
so anyone help me..urgent issue..
Thanks in advance

What is the message that you are getting for the event? Is it "No receiver entered" or something else?
Check for the event linkage between your event and workflow in SWE2. If it is not set select the checkbox "Linkage Activated" and acitivate the linkage and then try to trigger the event.
If your event linkage gets deactivated everytime you try to trigger the event, there could be some problem in binding from your event to workflow container. Check if all mandatory parameters in workflow receive data from event container.

Business Rule in trigger not working

Hi,
I have business rule that no one below 18 years should be employed in this system.
I have created a trigger that alerts me so, but when ever I insert someone either over 10 or below, it fires and deos not insert any record, but if I deleted the trigger, everything works fine.
I should have put a check constraint (s_hire_date - s_dob) < 6570 on the table, but I just thought should be able to do it.
Why please?
stops insertion of under 18 years into employee table
CREATE OR REPLACE TRIGGER Tr_new_employee
BEFORE INSERT ON employee for each row
DECLARE s_hire_date DATE;
s_dob date;
begin
select :NEW.hire_date, :NEW.dob into s_hire_date, s_dob from employee
where empid =:new.empid;
IF (s_hire_date - s_dob) < 6570 then
raise_application_error(-20101,'Person too young');
end if;
end;
Many thanks in advance

Hello Warren and All,
Thanks for the code, the trigger did compile successfully, but prevents any kind of insertion whether over 18 or younger.

I know your logic is fine, something might be wrong with the trigger even though it created succesfully. It is not doing what it is intended to do.

Workflow not triggered when called within a Dynamic Trigger of HRMS

Hello,
Requeirment :Whenever any data is updated withing the People workbench of HRMS, a notification should be sent with the following message:
Employee Number <Empno> has modified emailid from <old> to <new>.
To achieve the same a dynamic trigger has been written on per_all_people_f table
invoking a procedure with the below script:
if(nvl(P_old_MS_Value,' ')<>nvl(P_New_MS_Value,' ')) then
     insert into log_self values(P_old_MS_Value,P_new_MS_Value,l_itemkey,p_employeename);

insert into log_not values('After Create Process');
     wf_engine.SetItemAttrText ( itemtype => 'HRSSA',

--commit;
     wf_engine.startprocess(itemtype=> 'HRSSA', itemkey => l_itemkey);
     insert into log_not values('After startprocess');
However we find the workflow process not getting triggered. The same however happens when the script is executed sepreately and a commit is given after the Start process. Is there a way i can invoke in dynamic trigger as the dynamic trigger prohibits use of Commit.?
Pls help ASAP.
Thanks & Regards,

Hi,
The Object key which you passing to trigger is not correct. Give the full key preceded with Zero.

Workflows not triggered when documents are created in Doc Set via Content Organizer

The following is my scenario:
A document set (containing several documents) is created in Library A on Site A
Using Send To, the Document Set is sent to the Drop Off Library on Site B (a different Site Collection)
A Content Organizer rule then moves the Document Set and its documents to destination Library B
In Library B I have defined a workflow (using Visual Studio 2012) that is triggered when new item is create
When the Document Set arrives in Library B from the Drop Off library (i.e. when the Content Organizer moves the Doc Set to Library B), the workflow is triggered (and executes) on the Document Set, but it is NOT triggered on the documents within the Document
Set. How can I get the workflow to trigger on the documents within the set when they are created via the Content Organizer rule?
The interesting thing is that if I manually add another document to the Document Set in Library B, the workflow is triggered on that document. It just does not trigger when the documents are created via the Content Organizer.

Hi,
In edit Content Organizer rule page, I see there is an option as Automatically create a folder for each unique value of a property:
However, unlike the drop down used in the property based filters above, this drop down *only* contains properties that are required by your content type.
This is done to prevent adding folders that have no values for a property.
If you need to put similar documents to the same folder, you could consider making use of this feature.

Leave Workflow Not triggered

Hi All,
         We configured the Leaves through ESS and it was working fine, but abruptly, the Leave Workflow stopped executing. I have maintained the following settings:
1. In the leave settings in SPRO, "Process Request Using Workflow" option is checked and the WF Id is 12300111 for all the three entries.
2. Display field for next Agent is checked. In ESS, the manager's name is displayed in the leave app.
3. Request has to be approved option is checked.
4. In SWFVISU, TS1230097 is maintained as
     APPLICATION        LeaveRequestApprover
     DYNPARAM          wi_id=${item.externalId}
     PACKAGE            sap.com/ess~lea
5. The task TS1230097 is maintained as a General task .
I tested the application through PTARQ & through ESS, the leave is applied, but the Workflow is not triggered. I checked the WF Tasks in SWIA, but No Workitem exist there. There's no entry in SWEL.
Can you please suggest, where are we missing to trigger the workflow.
Cheers!!!
Umang

Hi Umang,
I do not see any problem with your workflow configuration.
Most probably the problem is with your rule group configuration.
As advised before, using WEBMO feature, find out what is the right rule group for the test employee (for whom you are applying leave). Then ensure that in the SPRO "Personnel Management -> Employee Self-Service->Service specific settings -> Working Time -> Leave Request -> Processing Processes--> define Absences/Processing Processes" there is an entry for the Rule group and the leave type you are applying for.
View that entry and ensure that you have all the WF settings as told before.
Thanks

Workflow not triggering automaticaly

Dear all,
I have some workflow which are working fine when I test these in SWDD t-cdoe. But on doing actual transaction these workflow are not triggering automatically.
If I go in t-code SWUE I am again able to trigger it manual for a particular document. But I do not I understand why it is automatically not triggering.
Objects are:BUS2005-CREATED AND MKPF-ASSIGNED
Please give u r ideas to sove this.
Thanks,
Dhananjaya

Hi
1 . Please check the Triggering event given are not to start the workflow if Yes then Check it is Active Or Not ( IF every thing OK here) then
2. activate trace in the trasctinon SWELS and execute the transaction.
3 . Go to transaction SWEL and execute it and check there must be the WORKFLOW with YOUR business object if it is getting triggerd.
IF Not workflow not triggerd then check the linkage in transaction SWE2.
IF above all steps are OK
Then CHECK configuration in SWU3 transaction (customise workflow setting must be done ) .
.Thanks

SAP Workflow not triggering due to "Start Condition return FALSE" message in SWEL

Hi,
I have SES approval workflow which is not triggering in few cases because of check function ends with exception even it has valid start condition and correct data. For example lets say we have PO no. 100 for which 3 SES (SES1,SES2 & SES3) are created. Out of which workflow for SES3 is not triggering even if all the three contain valid start condition(Bases on internal order at PO line item).when triggering workflow manually using SWUE for SES3 it work fine.Please find SWEL screenshot below and let me know if you have come across this type of issue.
Thanks in Advance.
Ishant.

kindly use SAP_WAPI_CREATE_EVENT and not SWE_EVENT_CREATE it's always better to use APIs.
Why use 2 sub-objects? you already have a z-object and you can modify it. even if there is a reason for the double sub object , the workflow should still run on the standard one - BUS2091.
see for example :
Extending Object Types: Inheritance and Delegation - SAP Business Workflow - SAP Library
As for your question,
if you are using a function module to raise the event, way not check in it if the service entry sheet has been created properly before creating the event. you can even check if the PO contains an internal order in your RFC function module and raise a specific event. then you will have no need for the starting condition.

Workflow not triggering when changing Item-level Permissions in Sharepoint 2013 list

Scenario:
We have a custom list in Sharepoint 2013 that we use for Case Management. We have a workflow that triggers on a created item generated from an email. The user then gets a reply with a link to his own case.
I want the users only to be able to see their own cases and no one elses. When I change this under
Advanced Settings under List Settings and
Item-level Permissions and set them to Read items that were created by the user
and Create items and edit items that were created by the user
the workflow doesn´t trigger.
How can I resolve this? I've tried every possible out-of-the-box permissions but with no result. Help!
Thanks in advance!
// Browncreek

When you're testing , remember you cant trigger declarative workflow from the System Account - you need a general user account for auto-trigger workflows. Good luck!
Chris McNulty MCSE/MCTS/MSA/MVTSP | blog http://www.chrismcnulty.net/blog | twitter @cmcnulty2000 Microsoft Community Contributor Award 2011
Hi, I have the same problem. Except that I am not using an email to create a new item. The item is created by members of a SharePoint group that have Contribute access to the list. When use the same settings i.e.
Read items that were created by the user and Create items and edit items that were created by the user,
the workflow does not trigger. If I set it back to Real all items and Create
and Edit all items, it triggers the workflow.
Please help me resolve as I have rolled this out to pilot users and am having this trouble.

Business rules to implement - BEST way - triggers and mutating table

I have the following table where it has Foreign Key defined on itself(self reference for parent_id column which can be null or valid site_id)
create table test_virtual_site
site_id number CONSTRAINT site_id_pk primary key,
parent_id number CONSTRAINT parent_site_id_unq UNIQUE ,
closed_date date default NULL ,
CONSTRAINT check_self_ref CHECK(parent_site_id <> site_id), --avoid self refernce
CONSTRAINT check_valid_site foreign key(parent_site_id) references test_virtual_site(site_id)
I have the following business rules to implement and my problem is related to their implementation
1)     A check should be made that Site_id specified as parent_id should not be a child of any other store (parent should have its parent_id column as NULL)
Site_id Parent_id
1
2 1
3 2 =>NOT VALID 2 is a child of another store
2)     Parent is not closed
Site_id Parent_id Closed_date
1 10-May-2005
3     1 =>NOT VALID 1 is a closed
3)
when parent store is closed - updated so at closed_date is not null
Want to set the parent_id as NULL for the child store.
OR
SET the closed_date for child store too same as the parent_store.
Example
Site_id Parent_id Closed_date
1
1 2
Update test_virtual_site
SET closed_date = sysdate
Where site_id = 1 ;
Through Trigger
Site_id Parent_id Closed_date

1 2 22-Mar-06
OR
Site_id Parent_id Closed_date

When I am trying to do the above mentioned through constraints I am running into mutating trigger problem. Can you please guide me what is the best way to handle the above-mentioned scenarios.
I am aware that I can avoid the 3rd problem using the following
-- - Initialize an array in the before statement trigger.
-- - Add the processed rowid to the array in the after row
-- trigger.
-- - In the after statement trigger: get each rowid from the
-- array and process it. When all rowids are processed, clear
-- the array.
BUT for 1 and 2 I need to look at the parent specified , the parent exists in the same table BUT I can not perform the lookup from the BEFORE INSERT ROW LEVEL trigger but I want to ensure at the row level , so if the parent store is closed or parent specifed itself is a child(not permissible) I want to rollback the insert RAISE_APPLICATION_ERROR.

I have activated the events which are present in loan. But after that also I am unable to trigger the workflow. Through SWE2 / SWETYPV tcode I have enabled the linkage to the portal. When I activate the event in workflow it will be automatically shown in SWE2 / SWETYPV. After all the process I have activated and checked, When I tried to apply for loan and submit the loan I am unable to trigger the workflow else workflow is not getting triggered. Kindly help.... Most Highly importance.... Please reply as soon as possible....

Error Deploying Business Rules (connection information could not be found)

Hello experts,
When I try to deploy the Business Rules I'm getting the following error:
"Deployment was not successful.
Rule was validated with no errors.
The rule could not be validated against the deployed application as connection information could not be found"
When I create a new Business Rule I can't associate the Business Rule to the form and I think it's because the deploy wasn't successful.
I would apreciate your help about this issue.

Hello,
We already tried to make some changes in order of dimensions but the problem persists.
We didn't change the order of dimensions, so I think itsn't due to that.
In the Production environment with the same application we don't have any error ... so ideas about this issue are lacking!

Business Rule Run Time Prompts not saving last values entered

Hello all,
We've had an SR open with Oracle support for several months in regards to this issue and they have yet to give us any constructive feedback. I'm hoping that someone out there has run into this and maybe found a resolution to the issue. We're running EPM Planning/Calc Mgr 11.1.1.3.04.
Our Planning end users are trying to "use last entered value" to get the prompts to default to users last used values, in Calc Mgr for a variable which has limits idesc(dim) and is limited to the planning application scope. The variable has no default value set.
However when they run the rule with a given value in the prompt, when they relaunch the rule later the prompt is not defaulting back to the last used value. We tried to redeploy the rule, just to see if it makes any difference but that seems to have no effect.
Thanks in advance,
-Bob

Spoke to my EPM Analyst who is working this issue with support and has more functional knowledge of what is going on.
She checked the members/member selection and this did not change the results.
While working with Oracle support they did try to select "Use Members in Form" and this also did not change the results.
No matter what they select with the business rules, it is not retaining that value the next time that it is run. The BR's require that you select a value when running so there is no way to use nothing as the default. My apologies if my description was misleading.
Our analyst has been logging on and off using just her credentials and sees this behavior.
The Global Variables checkbox for save last value is selected.

Business Rule error: Accounts are not available in the rule table

Hi everybody,
I have a problem running the Business Rule for the profit/loss copy to the equity account.
The Business Rule I set reads from all P&L accounts, P&L specific flow, acual category, all datasources and then it writes everything keeping the source settings apart from the account destination (the equity profit/loss account) and the flow destination (I write in two different flows, so the rule is made up of two equal lines differing only in the flow destination). "PROFIT" is the ID I chose.
Then I created the related script logic (ID=CALCACCOUNT):
*RUN_PROGRAM CALC_ACCOUNT
CATEGORY_M = %CATEGORY_M_SET%
CURRENCYLABEL = %CURRENCYLABEL_SET%
TID_RA = %TIME_SET%
CALC=PROFIT
*ENDRUN_PROGRAM
Finally, the prompt ( process chain: CPMB/RUNCALCACCOUNT):
PROMPT(SELECTINPUT,,,,"CATEGORY_M,CURRENCYLABEL,TIME")
TASK(/CPMB/RUNCALCACCOUNT_LOGIC,SUSER,%USER%)
TASK(/CPMB/RUNCALCACCOUNT_LOGIC,SAPPSET,%APPSET%)
TASK(/CPMB/RUNCALCACCOUNT_LOGIC,SAPP,%APP%)
TASK(/CPMB/RUNCALCACCOUNT_LOGIC,SELECTION,%SELECTION%)
TASK(/CPMB/RUNCALCACCOUNT_LOGIC,LOGICFILENAME,CALCACCOUNT.LGF)
But anytime I run the package it fails giving me the message error: "Accounts are not available in the rule table".
I tried every possible change but nothing; if someone could help me somehow I'd be really grateful!!
Thanks
Filippo

Hi James,
Thanks for your quick response. There is no currency dimension in the application... I've tested with the correct businessrule as CALC value, but this didn't do the trick.
Any other suggestions?

Vincent
