Suitability of APEX for the task

Hi Everyone,
I'm designing a personal finance application, still in the conceptual planning phase. The idea is to create a small self contained app that can be offered for sale/download to the general public very reasonably. The business model is sell a million @ $30 bucks each. I would love if I could use APEX for this, but my only experience working with Oracle is in connection with larger, more enterprise-related, projects.
Is this a type of application APEX would be suited to? What does this business model look like, in the APEX world? Can APEX be distributed in a self-contained, runtime, code-obscured type of framework? Or do I need to stick with an MS Access or MySQL web dev type of delivery model?
Thanks in advance!
Bo

Bo,
APEX requires the Oracle database. So, while you could offer the application as a packaged app (and run it through a code obfuscator, but even then, anyone with access to the builder will be able to see what your pages look like, etc.), your customers would still need to install and set up at least the Oracle XE version--not exactly a one-click install option. You could offer your service as a hosted, online tool, but you're going to run into issues with users not wanting to put personal financial information on the web; you're going to have to ensure that data security is in place--even from you, probably.
Good luck,
-David

  • "No administrator found for the task" in the front end

    Hi all,
    My issue is, whenever approval request is raised from the front end ( JAVA WEB-DYNPRO), it triggers the workflow through the "<b>sap_wapi_start_workflow</b>" and when the workflow proceeds to the first level of approval, the front end application provides the approver with <b>Approve</b> and <b>Reject</b> options.
    On click of approve, from the java webdynpro, the approve status is written in the container using "<b>sap_wapi_write_container</b>" and then a call is made to "<b>sap_wapi_workitem_complete</b>". Upon excution, the message line is "<b>No administrator found for the task</b>" and the return code is "<b>1</b>".
    But if we do the same steps from the backend (R/3), the workitem is getting completed without any such error.
    Please advice.
    Thanks.

    Hi Balaji,
    I think I have an answer for you.  This has happened with us when approving a WD java task using UWL (in our case for travel).  The key is the return code of 1.
    What has happened is this.  The return code actually comes from the function SWW_WI_STATUS_CHANGE_NEW which is called deep in the WAPI wrapper.  It means "infeasible_state_transition = 1".
    This is due to the fact that after updating the container, your wapi call from web dynpro tries to change the workitem from status of "Ready" to status "Completed".  This will not work.
    What you will have to do is call "SWW_WI_STATUS_CHANGE_NEW" to set the status to 'SELECTED' beofre setting the item to complete.
    The reason for this is that when you are executing from R3, the status change is done for you.  When calling from the WD, no reservation of the workitem occurs.
    Sorry about last night, I live well outside of town and the phone reception at my place is poor.

    I got the message "No administrator found for the task" when the MSS user try to approve and overtime. When i double click on the error for details, it actually give
    WF notification:work item cannot be executed message no. 5W141. As got overtime, i am using the standard task 20000460 which i already maintain the agent as general task. I am using the Agent (Default Rule) rule number 157 (Superior (chief position)).
    I tested it in my development and it works, however it does not work in my production. Do i miss any setting or parameter?
    My R/3 backend is 4.7 with Enterprise Portal 6.
    Thanks

  • "No Administrator found for the task " ?

    Hi All,
    I am using a standard method "display" in my ztask . [BO - FIPP, method - dispaly]
    workitem created by this task is to be delivered to "initiator".
    Now, initiator has this workitem in his inbox, but whenever he tries to execute that , a message is dispalyed saying
    "No Administrator found for the task " and task is NOT executed at the end.
    Please suggest wat could be missing or wat could be cross checked here to resolve the matter.
    Many Thanks
    Regards
    Priya

    You're welcome Priya,
    One of the major advantages of forums like these is the search functionality. If you learn how to use that in an effective way you can solve more problems in shorter amounts of time than by posting questions.

  • No Administrator found for the task (solution in FAQ not applicable sadly)

    Hi All,
    I have had to build a custom work item inbox due to complex client requirements, one of which being that all tasks are declared as "General tasks", so that all users can select and work them. 
    Work item execution is performed using the function module SWL_WI_DISPATCH (I've also tested using SAP_WAPI_EXECUTE_WORKITEM), which sometimes returns the error 'No administrator found for the task'.
    I followed the standard instructions for this error message, refreshing the org assignments, transaction SWU_OBUF etc, and this did not help the issue.
    The error seems to occur within the function module RH_WI_AGENT_EXECUTE_CHECK, however according to our configuration I can see no reason why users shouldn't be allowed to execute the work item, if the org assignment has been stable for several months, all tasks are generic, and the work item status is READY.  There is no rule for determining agent beyond them being "General task"s.
    Does anyone have any ideas?  According to the data in SWWWIHEAD I can't see any reason why execution should be failing for these work items.
    Thanks

    Hi there,
    almoste there
    The new extended eMail notification do allow a feature, which is named "Forward by eMail" (in the general settings of SWNCONFIG). And the result is, that a work item can be executed by another user-id, who is not the actual receiver of the work item.
    If you looked at report RSWNWIEX you'll find out that exactly the proposed solution is in use there, having a very usuable example already in place:  (check lines 155 and following)
          CALL FUNCTION 'SAP_WAPI_EXECUTE_WORKITEM'
            EXPORTING
              workitem_id    = p_wi_id
          IF lv_rc <> 0 AND cl_swn_settings=>wi_forward_via_mail = 'X'.
    *-         require to put back if WI is selected
              CALL FUNCTION 'SAP_WAPI_ADM_WORKITEM_BACK'
                CALL FUNCTION 'SAP_WAPI_FORWARD_WORKITEM'
                  EXPORTING
                    workitem_id   = p_wi_id
                    user_id       = sy-uname
                  COMMIT WORK.   "Needs to be done before executing again
                      CALL METHOD cl_swf_run_wim_factory=>initialize( ).
                      CALL FUNCTION 'SAP_WAPI_EXECUTE_WORKITEM'
    That doesn't blast a security hole, as far as I see.
    Using the table SWWUSERWI directly is not advisable at that time, I'd say.
    Best wishes,
    Florin

  • SAP_WAPI_DECISION_COMPLETE No administrator found for the task

    Hi gurus,
    I have a problem executing the FM SAP_WAPI_DECISION_COMPLETE. Everytime i run the FM, it gives the error "No administrator found for the task". But in the Workflow Logs (SWI1), there is an agent and can actually access the workitem on the business workplace of that agent. I just need to run this because the approval is triggered in WebDynpro. I've done the following things to fix it but the error still occurs:
    1. Set the decision step as General. (even the standard decision gives the same error)
    2. Set the workflow as General.
    3. Refresh the Org. Structure thru SWUS
    4. Refresh the object buffer thru SWU_OBUF.
    5. Log in and out of the system after refreshing buffers
    I hope somebody can help me out as soon as possible.
    Thanks in advance,
    Dexter

    Hi Rick,
    I've used SAP_WAPI_DECISION_COMPLETE a couple of times before, here's how i called the FM:
            CALL FUNCTION 'SAP_WAPI_DECISION_COMPLETE'
              EXPORTING
              WORKITEM_ID          = wa_wfm_steplog-wi_id   "----
    >wi_id of the decision step
              LANGUAGE             = sy-langu
              USER                      = sy-uname  
              DECISION_KEY         = ly_decision_key            "-----> 0001
              DO_COMMIT            = 'X'
            IMPORTING
              RETURN_CODE          = l_subrc
         NEW_STATUS           = new_status
            TABLES
              MESSAGE_LINES        = lt_message.
    i found out that the error occurs if this FM is not executed by the Agent (approver). But even if i run this FM using a different login and key in the UNAME if the agent, it still gives the error.
    Its weird because on my previous company, any user can execute this FM to update ANY decision step.
    Hope you can still help me.
    Thanks,
    Dexter

  • No Administrator for the TASK

    Hi All,
    Could you help me to resolve workflow issue. We have a workflow for PO release strategy. The agents are maintained in customized table. Now when I am adding a new agent in that customized table, the workflow is picking up the agent correctly but the he is not able to approve it as it gives the error "No administrator found for the task".
    Can somebody help me to resolve this issue.
    Thanks for your help.
    Regards
    Hema

    Hi Hema,
    It might be authorization problem. after displaying this message run transaction /NSU53 and check any authorization are missing. if yes then contact basis team and if message display like 'all authorization checks have so far been successful' then run transaction SWU_OBUF and press synchronize(shift + f1) then try again.
    Hope these helps.

  • Warning: "No terminating events defined for the task used"

    Dear all,
    I created a task with ABAP class and method as its object method. This task is a background task. The ABAP class inherits the IF_WORKFLOW interface but doesn't implement any method of the interface.
    When I try to confirm the task settings in transaction SWDD, a message shows up "No terminating events defined for the task used" and I cannot continue the work. Does anybody have any idea what I should do?
    Thanks + Best Regards
    Jerome

    Hi Jerome,
    If you set a background task in your workflow, and if it is asynchronous, then you need some way to tell the template if it is finished and what happened.  In this case you set terminating events - that is events which are published in the system as a result of your method (ie document.posted etc).
    Either use a synchronous method for your task or set appropriate terminating events in your task setup.

  • WF Err: No administrator found for the task

    Hi,
    I am implementing idoc alert functionality using the program RSEIDOCA which uses the task 74508518. The problem I am facing is users are not able to open the work item from the attachment then receive in the mail.
    The error thrown is No administrator found for the task.
    I have tried executing the work item from SWIA and the same error persists.
    I had made the task general, refershed the buffers, refreshed the Org environment, but the problem is still there.
    Can any please suggest any way out.
    Thanks in advance

    Hi,
    One more addition to the case. Upon more testing I see that problem is only coming when I try to execute work item created by some other user.
    I have tried executing the work-item using SWIA , but with no success.
    Thanks in advance for help.

  • AR31 - No administrator found for the task. Msg No 5W141

    When I retire an Aset thru AR31 and release I get an Error msg. No administrator found for the task. Msg No 5W141. I did search in this but it is for goods movement. But I face this while retiring an Asset. Is there any one who can giude me to resolve this issue. This is the first retirement after implimentation.

    Hello Syamagari
    1- Please check in transaction OAWF if the responsible users are   assigned to the workflow tasks
       Menu path: Basic Functions
                     Assign tasks to agent
                        Correct worklist
                        Release worklist
                        Correct and release worklist
    2- In addition check if the users are assigned to the workflow-tasks  in the basis-component (transaction PFTC).
       Menu path: Task type: TS   - Standard task
                  Task     : corresponding task
    3.-Also check the minimum customizing for workflow:
         SWU3 => automatic customizing

    Dear Kumar,
    error 5W141 indicates that the  configuration for workflow is not in place fully.                                                                               
    1. SWU3 => Automatic customizing  
    You find the customizing of the workflow under Basis -> Business             
    Management -> SAP Business Workflow. There you can check the minimum

  • ESS- Leave : You are not one of the possible agent for the task ws9021212?

    Hi ,
    I have copied the standard workflow template wa12300111 and assigned the new template in the customizing. When i apply leave from ESS working time , it says an error " You are not one of the possible agent for the task ws9021212? " .
    The similar kind of Error i have solved before in by making the workflow as GENERAL TASK in PFTC as follows.
    PFTC -> Choose "Workflow Template" from the drop down -> Enter the workflow template id "ws9021212" in the text box -> now click on "change" button -> Now goto the menu addional data -> agent assignment -> maintain -> select the task text -> and set it as general task.
    i have cleared the buffer also!
    BUT STILL I AM GETTING THE ERROR ?
    Please help me !
    Richard A

    hi Richard
    Try to do this way.  IN the workflow builder there is a button with hat. that is basic data. click on that and  it will go to another screen and u can find a apple button that is agent assignment for a task click that.
    It will open maintain agent assignment screen. click the text below that and click the attribute button and click the genral task. i think this will solve ur issue.
    If helpful kindly reward points
