Syndicate Step in workflow

Hi All,
Is syndication server required for syndicate step in workflow?
I have doubt that syndicate step is for either manually syndicating or automatically syndicating.
Please clarify.
Thanks
Narendra

Hi,
Syndication to other system having two types.
Syndication manual & automatic syndication.
Using the manual syndication we should follow the steps and we can save that as a MAP.
we can use this map for further syndication.
During automatic syndication we have to mention the receiver port which will receive the records.
Regarding workflow , we can trigger the workflow manual as well as automatic.

Auto execution of Syndicate Step in Workflow

Hello Experts,
Is there a way to auto execute the Syndicate step in Workflow?
Workflow is as follows:
Start ---> Branch ---> Process Success ---> Assignments ---> Syndicate ---> Notify ---> Stop
In this case, workflow is launched immediately, validations and assignments are successful. Control is passed back to the user and we have to manually select Next Step option by right clicking the workflow.
After Syndication, Stop is again a manual process.
Please let me know if there is a way to automate the workflow for Success branch.
Thanks in advance.
Vinay

Hi Vinay,
Start ---> Branch ---> Process Success ---> Assignments ---> Syndicate ---> Notify ---> Stop
As per your Workflow stated above:
- The workflow will automatically trigger if the triggger action is either Record Import or Records Add.For Manual you will have to trigger the workflow manually.
- For this you will have to set the workflow as Active and Auto Launch as Immediate.
- Out of the above mentioned steps the Start, Branch,Assignments,Notify and Stop will not require human intervention to move the task to the next step.
- Once your workflow is triggered based on the validation is the branch step the records will move to the Process user else default.
- The process user will have to complete his task and on clicking Next step it will run the Assignments automatically.
- On reaching the syndicate step the selected records will get syndicated provided the MDSS settings are correct and the Assignments have passed else it will come back to the previous step on failing the assignments
- The Notify step will run automatically .You will have to only click Stop for ending the workflow.
Hope It Helped
Thanks & Regards

Workflow - Syndicate step

Hi All,
I have created an workflow as
Start->Process->Match->approve>assign->syndicate--->stop
Trigger Action :record Import.
Given the port details in the syndicate step.
I have created remote system type Inbound/Outbound ,Port Outbound and processing type as manual .
I have given the workflow name in the import manager checkout/workflow.
In Syndicator map details maintained in the Port .
Everything looks fine.
But i am unable to get the syndicated file in Ready Folder what might be the problem ?

Hello Priya,
Please check that have you installed the Syndication server?
If not then install the syndication server first and start the service for the syndication server.
follow path: C:\Program Files\SAP MDM 5.5\Syndication Server for the MDSS.ini file
Assuming you have installed syndication server in C; drive.
If you have any pwd for the Admin user then goto the MDSS.ini file of syndication server> open it> set the pwd corresponding to your repository.
I hope this will clear your doubt and help you.

Hi Sanjay,
Firstly are you using Send mail Activity or are u calling Fm SO_DOCUMENT_SEND_API1.
Well I suppose u are calling the FM, in that case just check the data that you are fetching before calling this FM. This error is related to sql query so check your select statements used before sending mail.
Hope this helps.

Decision Step in Workflow inbox in NWBC

Hi All,
As of now when I click on any task in my Business workflow inbox then it takes me to a Decision Step in workflow but this screen is displayed as GUI , but need to find a Webdynpro replacement for this Decison Step.
This is a standard Decision task step with minimal configuration, so want to know if there is any standard SAP provided Web dynpro to replace this.
Thanks
Kumar

Hi,
It would be better to use the custom webdynpro application.
Please follow the below steps...
Create a Separate Webdynpo Application ( WDA ) where you need to put all the option as SBWP by coding.
After that you need to configure the SWFVISU.
Run Tcode SWFVISU.
here, select "Task Visualization' and maintain your standard task ( TS ) with ABAP web dynpro option.
Now selct your entry and click on Visualization Parameters as mentopn below.
APPLICATION ( WD application name )
DYNPARAM
NAMESPACE
SYSTEM_ALIAS
Second, ask Portal team to chagne the XML code for the above standard task and application ( i.e. WD appilcation which will be launced on clicking the task ).
From the next run of the workflow, WD applcitoon will be lauched from the protal.
for the old workitem this will not work.
Thanks and regards,
Sanjay

Add new step to workflow

Hi All,
Can i add a new step to Standard SAP workflow, if so any suggestion on how to do or links for the same.
Many Thanks,
Kishore

Better copy SAP workflow to your own then modify it. You can always add steps to workflow by right clicking wherever you want to add
You can then deactive the standard workflow from triggering from business object

One step approval workflow

Hi All,
I have added a step in one step approval workflow to check shop on behalf.
When a person shop's on behalf of a manager, and 1 step approval is triggered, i want the approver to be the manager.
But what is happening is that Manager's Manager is getting the workitem!
My query is that :if A shop's for B, the approver should be B for the shopping cart. How can i achieve this????
Anybody knows what needs to be done in this scenario?
Thanks & Regards,
San

Hi San,
In addition to Usman's views also look at the below mentioned points :
1. In your org. structure if you have named somebody else as the head of the department for that org. unit, it will go to that person for approval.
2. And there is no point in taking approval from the same guy for whom you are shopping on behalf. In such a case that guy can himself create a shopping cart.
Looks like there is some mis / lack of understanding about the correct client requirements.
But there are few work arounds you define this guy as the substitute for his manager.Then either of them can approve the shopping cart.
Or.. don't make any body as H.O.D of org. unit and define the approval agent in the work flow builder using SWDD txn and let the approver will be taken from there.
Hope this makes you more clear and helps in resolving your issue. Clarifications are welcome.
Award points for helpful answers.

First Step in Workflow Verification

Hi,
I did the workflow configuration by using SWU3 successfully. For initial testing, i did Start Verification Workflow and i got the intial workitme in my SAP inbox. The i selected First step in Workflow Verification in my SAP inbox, but in the next sceen it was not displaying the Use Decision Steps (Immediatley and Later). It was showing blank screen. This is happening for all workflows (selected standard workflows for testing purpose). Initial workitem is displaying in my SAP inbox abd after executing nothing is displaying in the second screen. My understanding is becuase of authorization to execute the work item.
If any one faces the same problem, please share with me.
Regards,
Steve

Hi,
Check your container object and see the Decisions are alloted are not?
Standard Program - It will go to another user. it wont come to you.

Could you please suggest me any settings if I am missing. I want to process syndication step in workflow with less time.
Thank you,

Hi Deepak,
no luck with that either.
Here is the the workflow log:
4764 2008/08/18 11:38:36.828   Syndicating to port #1 (translations_out), agency is #1

4764 2008/08/18 11:38:37.187   Export succeeded.
This workflow actually contains one record. Nothing is being syndicated and the step gets stuck.
This is the log from an older version of the repository (no workflow changes) with the same record:
4764 2008/08/18 12:07:13.171   Syndicating to port #1 (translations_out), agency is #1

4764 2008/08/18 12:07:13.562   Export succeeded.
Here I can send the workflow to the next step.
It looks like MDSS cannot find the records for whatever reason.
Christian
Solved: In the syndication map a filter was set. All records that did not fit into the filter preset, were simply not syndicated. Thanks to everyone for support.

Using send email step in workflow

Hi Experts,
I have a question regarding the send email step in workflow.
We have the Receipient Type as Organizational Object and Expression as &WF_INITIATOR&.
I want to know if the mail will be sent to the SAP email ID (i.e) in SBWP or will be it be sent to the Outlook email ID.
We want to send it to the Outlook email ID of the User. Can you guide us as to how we can do the same.
In some cases, we want to send the notification to both the employee and his manager. Can this be managed through the SEND EMAIL step in the workflow or do we have to explicitly create a method and use a std FM that sends the email to the concerned.
Request your help on the same.
Cheers,
Belinda Clarke

>We are getting the pernr of the employee. We can retrieve his email address for the same. So do we need to pass this to a workflow container and then use that workflow container value in the space provided for the email address.
Yes. It is really up to you how you will develop everything. I personally like to get all the data into the workflow container, because it might be handy later in the life. Let's say that you go on with your custom email sending step and add there the code the get the data that you need in the email. It will work perfectly. But let's say that after six months the HR administrators want to get emails with a bit different content from this same workflow. Now you will need do another custom step. But if you had already all the data in the container you can simply add another standard email step and formulate the text with the editor and add the variables from the workflow container. Easy and simple.
So, my advice is that for example add just add some background step to get all the possible data regarding the employees & leave request & managers or whatever. Now you have everything in the container and you can use them in the email(s) - and you can use them in other places too - for example in the work item texts, etc.

Karri
