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.

Contact record not pupulated when Task created using Workflow.

Hi All
I am using workflow to create Tasks when new Serivce Records have been created. When the Service Record is created and the Contact field is linked to a Contact record, the Contact does not carry through to the Task record created by the workflow. I have noticed that when I add the Task manually to the SR that the Contact record does carry through so is there something I need to add to my workflow?
Thanks Gail

Hi Mani
I have an SR raised for this already SR 3-162376211, should I close this? Do you have a reference number or something for me to reference this issue/enhancement request with in the future?
Thanks Gail

I created a form, I want the email notices to go to several people. Why is this so difficult? It seems like they have to be a co-author/reader or something? I don't get it

This is crazy! I paid for this service to make it easier to create forms for a company that has had several acquisitions all over the globe. This was supposed to make it easy to create forms hosted on adobe so no matter what happens on all their servers, we would be safe using this forms service until we can integrate all acquisitions and build a permanent web site on a single server. Now I find out that even this is a major issue sending emails to team members, many I have never met so making them a collaborator or even setting up forwarded emails is not something I wanted to do. This service was advertised as simple and easily send notifications to many people. I am now frustrated and thinking this was a waste of money! Why is it like that?

The delivery schedule lines don't get created automatically on MRP run.

Hi All,
The delivery schedule lines don't get created automatically on MRP run for subcontracting material. I have maintained source list as follow eg.
Valid from | Valid to | Vendor | Porg | PPI | Agreement | Item | Fix | MRP | MRP area
02.11.2009 | 31.12.2999| XYZ | XY01| |AA0000XYZE |10 | X |2 | ABC
Could you please help me about this issue
Thanks in advance.

Hi Amit,
Please ensure the value of Special procurement key in the MRP2 view for the material. It should be maintained as 30 - subcontracting.

How do i create a workflow to delete tasks.

I've created a workflow that will take the Title, Start Date, and End Date from one list (roomReserved) and then create a task on another list (centralCal) setup as a central calendar. When a yes/no checkbox is checked, it will then create the task on the
centralCal. The problem I'm having right now is i am unable to remove or delete the task created in centralCal when the checkbox is unchecked.
I way I'm trying to delete the task in the workflow is:
if current item:checkbox equals no
then delete item in centralCal
in the "Choose List Item" popup menu
I choose List:centralCal
Find the List Item:
Field: Title
Value:
Lookup for Single line of text (popup)
Data source: Current Item
Field from source: Title
Return field as: string (greyed out)
To make sure the correct item is deleted I'm comparing the titles from the roomReserved and centralCal.
What I want the workflow to do is delete the task from centralCal if the checkbox is unchecked from roomReserved. Any idea's on how to change my workflow to fix this would be greatly appreciated.

Hi James,
I tried reproducing the issue in my environment. I created a list1 with two column: title and checkbox, a list2 with one column: title.
I created two workflows in SharePoint Designer: workflow1, if current item checkbox field equals yes, create item in list2, title= current item title. Workflow1 start automatically when an item is created.
Workflow2: if current item checkbox field equals no, delete item in list2. Choose List Item is set as below, and workflow2 starts automatically when item is changed.

Create new workflow task

Hi,
I have abap experience, but no workflow. We have a web dynpro screen which when completed has to kick off a workflow and mail workitem to relevant person.
I assume as this is a custom process, in mining, that there won't be a standard workflow task to use. Please provide me with the steps needed to create a workflow.

To downgrade to Firefox 3.6 first uninstall Firefox 4, but do not select the option to "Remove my Firefox personal data". If you select that option it will delete your bookmarks, passwords and other user data. See https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Uninstalling+Firefox
You can then install the latest version of Firefox 3.6 available from http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html - it will automatically use your current bookmarks, passwords etc.
To avoid possible problems with downgrading, I recommend going to your profile folder and deleting the following files if they exist - extensions.cache, extensions.rdf, extensions.ini, extensions.sqlite and localstore.rdf. Deleting these files will force Firefox to rebuild the list of installed extensions, checking their compatibility, and reset toolbar customizations.
For details of how to find your profile folder see https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Profiles

Issue in workflow workitem that gets triggered to two users at one time.

Hi All,
Below are the query details:
Module: HR
Area:      Workflow
Process: Hiring
There is an workflow in HR module that is triggered when an hiring action is run against an candidate.
There are two or three maximum approvers which is based on the position to which the candidate is hired.
Issue:
During the hiring process some times the workitem is getting triggered to two users at once.
One is the actual approver who should receive the workitem in his UWL and other is the user of our service center who is no where involved in the approval process.
Analysis Done:
We checked the workflow log and found that the actual approver's ID is getting displayed under agent and workflow is complete. But the other user's ID is no where shown in the log but he has received an workitem in his UWL that makes the issue still confusing.
Awaiting for experts suggestions.

Reply to Susan Questions:
You say that 'the workitem is getting triggered to two users at once' - do you mean that there are two workflow instances that are being kicked off at the same time when the hiring action is performed? Or is it that the workflow is generating two tasks that go to these different users?
Ans : There is a single task attached to the activity.
Is this a custom workflow?
Ans : Yes.
Are you certain that the erroneous task is only going to the user in the service center, or is it perhaps going to everybody (marked as a general task)?
Ans : The task is marked as general but the workitem is received by only one user of the service center at a time.
         As this issue has taken place 4 times in the past year all the 4 receiver were different belonging to different position.
Reply to Pavan Questions:
1. Did you try to check the SPRO settings with respect to Hiring Process ,is there any where based on the position does workflow is forwarding the workitem to the other user.
2. Check the other user Roles and in the Org Structure where he is located , there could be a possibility of wrong position holding.
Ans : We checked the org structure, but org structure of both the centers are different and independent there is no linkage    between the two.
*3. IF you are using custom workflow then check if any standard workflow is also getting triggered. Check *
Ans : Yes this is a custom workflow, but no other Standard workflow is being called.
4. Check in the SWEHR3 is any custom entries maintained.
Ans : No, entries are maintained in SWEHR3.
Additional Info :
The task that triggers the workitem has an send mail step before it.
The send mail activity is to notify receiver that there is an workitem lying in the UWL.This mail is received by the actual user and not by the other one.The next step is the task that creates workitem which gets triggered totwo different IDs.
This scenarios mostly has come up when the number of approver is 1. If the approver is more than 1 the workflow runs fine without deviating the workitem to any worng user.

Task assignment in Workflow

I am investigating the different possibilities to assign tasks in workflow processes. If I understand the documentation correctly a task can be assigned to an user or a group. If addressed to a group the first user in the group accessing the task "locks" it for all other users in the group. How do I assign a task to all users in a group (so each and every user in the group gets a copy of the task)? Can this be done? If not - how would you suggest such an implementation would be made? Perhaps using an external Web Service integrating with the Workflow Services?
Best regards
/ Rasmus

To assign a task to each an every member in the group, you could use the parallel workflow or "parallel with final reviewer" pattern. This will create a master task with subtasks assigned to each member of the group. Additionally you can use the ora:getUsersInGroup(groupId) xpath function to get all the members of the group and assign tasks to them.
Another option is to use the <flow> construct in BPEL and create separate workflow tasks for each member in the group

Create one workflow ( 2 level approval - manager and financial manager). An

Hi
I have requirement to Create one workflow ( *2 level approval - manager and financial manager).* And escalate it after 1 day to Financial manager's supervisor
I have no idea about escalation through BPEL Compoiste in OIM
Can please any help me out

The status can be alerted and the task assigned to weblogic due to a fault in your process. Without looking at your process or the exception, it can be difficult to say what went wrong, but check if you have the user in the system to whom you are trying to assign the task to.
As for escalation, you need to go through that link to configure escalations and in escalations you can select management chain as the route. This would escalate it to manager's manager if the manager does not work on the request for specified time. For other requirements around escalation, you will have to first get a basics right and working for you. Once you are done with that, you can post here any questions which you might have about making the complex ones and we can try to help.

Task locked by Workflow Builder

Hi all - hoping someone has run across this. i'm surprised I didn't find anything in the forums on this. I created a workflow, but realized I didn't name some of the task container elements in a few steps properly. So, in attempting to go into the send mail steps to rename the task container elements, I get the following:
"Task TS99900143 locked by Workflow Builder"
I'm unable to edit/rename/or even add new task container elements. However, I am able to make changes to other parts of the workflow (i.e. workflow container elements, etc).
Any idea what I need to do? I logged out, logged back in to see if it would get unlocked. I had this problem yesterday as well, so I thought maybe even overnight something would get unlocked, but that wasn't the case.
Thanks,
Steve

OK, let's get one thing straight: [Moderators|http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Forum_moderator] are folks who look after the forum and make sure everyone plays by the rules and so forth - a bit like a referee at a sports match.
We do not represent official statements from SAP, in fact not all moderators even work for SAP. If someone with an SAP logo next to their name says something that is different...
Now we've got that out the way, no this is not a bug. The sendmail step is just a 'special' step in the workflow builder that generates a regular SELFITEM.SENDTASKDESCRIPTION in background based on the info you supply. Since the WF builder maintains the task for you, it locks it so that the task and the WF builder don't get out of synch.
Aside from PFTC (be aware of sync issues mentioned above), you can of course also create a sendmail step manually by creating a task based on SELFITEM.SENDTASKDESCRIPTION. It will appear as a regular activity step and not have the mail icon, and it won't be locked. In some cases this is better because you have more control over the details.

SP Designer Workflow: How to Get Full URL Path to List Item and inserted same list ITem URL in another list

Hi,
I have requirement in Sp Designer 2010,Get List item URL and insert in another list as one column value.When open another list and click on same item column entry url will show the parent item information.
Here i have create work flow and insert item URL in another list but cant find appropriate item url information.I can easily make item url link through String builder in mail body with using current id and predefine link,but
when try to insert the same type of item link in another list where i cant find string builder for create custom url link,only get valur of Path,URL,Absolute URL and Relative server URL,all these links or not provide me exact
item link dispaly information.
So I opened SharePoint Designer and start creating the workflow associated to the list.
As there is some Field from source related to current item URL I start using it
Encoded Absolute URL – this one should be the one to use
Server Relative URL
URL Path
Unfortunately, none of these options were providing the correct link. Indeed, these options are providing an incorrect path:
Encoded Absolute URL
http://wfe1/Lists/bpf/1_.000
Server Relative URL
/Lists/bpf/1_.000
URL Path
/Lists/bpf/1_.000
As you can see, the item URL is composed by an ID while it should be http://wfe1/Lists/bpf/dispform.aspx?id=1
Hasan Jamal Siddiqui(MCTS,MCPD,ITIL@V3),Share Point Application Developer,TCS

Unfortunately, [%Current Item:URL%] doesn't seem to be available from a "Site Workflow" associated to a List. I'm finding less advantages to doing a "Site Workflow" when I don't necessarily need to. One problem is the workflow is initiating
twice. I'm thinking I should have just created the workflow as a a "List Workflow."
I am going to try "Association Columns" -- that may work. Anyone have other suggestions?

Can not Deploy Task Display Form[Workflow] in 11g

How do I create a workflow to close open programs and then turn off?

I want to create a workflow where any open programs will be closed and then my Mac will turn itself off. How do I do this?
Cheers.

I don't use Automator, but the following Applescript will do it:
set excludedones to {"loginwindow", "Dock", "SystemUIServer", "MirrorAgent", "UniversalAccess", "iCalAlarmScheduler", "System Events"}
tell application "Finder"
set quitlist to the name of every application process whose file type is "APPL"
end tell
repeat with i from 1 to count of quitlist
set aProcess to item i of quitlist
if aProcess is not in excludedones then
try
tell application aProcess to quit
end try
end if
end repeat
tell application "Finder"
shut down
end tell
Actually the last three lines by themselves would probably do it. Of course if any of the applications have open unsaved documents then you will get the usual dialog about do you want to save them.

Retracting task in process workflow

Hi experts,
I'm currently working on how to retracting task in specific workflow.The situation is like this:
User A initiates form then assign it to user B (task B). User B completes (task B) then assigns to user C (task C).
In case user B forgets some details, he wants to retract the form from user C so that he can edit form and resubmit it.
What i can think of is to create a separate process and use a custom component to reset the status of this process.
From what i observe, before and after completing task B, there are changes in tb_task, tb_job_instance and tb_branch_instance (if you think there can be changes in other tables, please let me know, thank you).
I have tried to delete task C in tb_task, set task B's status from COMPLETE (100)to RUNNING(3) and it's complete time to null. User B can see the task but after complete, it never appear in user C's task.
I realized that after task B is completed, its associated job in tb_job_instance is deleted and task C and its job are created.
Is there anyway I can create a job in tb_job_instance to link with current process, so that after user B complete the task, the form is routed to user C.
Any comment will be much appreciated,
Thank you,
Tuan Anh

Hi Jasmin,
Now i'm trying to build a custom component to invoke the Retract route. Currently the task is assigned to user A.
but i don't have the password of user A. When I use Administrator account to invoke taskmanager.completeTask(204,"Retract"), I have this error:
com.adobe.idp.taskmanager.dsc.client.task.TaskPermissionException:
User: 43296024-F721-D137-5FDF-D01FF8A70682 is not assigned task: 204. The task cannot be completed
Is there any way I can complete the task without knowing A's password ?

Tuan Anh
