Temporary errors automatically deletes the work item.

Hi,
I have a background workflow task which calls a ABAP class & method. The method raises the temporary exception, cx_bo_action_cancelled when an error occurs. However, when the workflow catches this exception, the corresponding work item (belonging to this task) is marked "logically deleted" and the workflow completes without error. May I know what is wrong, how do I trap this temporary error/exception and not let the workflow completes with the errornous workitem automatically deleted ? Thank you.
Regards
Kir Chern

Hi
I think because you are capturing the error has exception so its logically deleting. In the task were you are using this method activate other branch ie another outcome. So when ever this error occurs you divert the path in other branch of the task and build your logic.

How to secure the users from deleting the work items

Hi all,
I have a question like this.........whether we could secure the users from deleting the work items by someone in the Project and also assigning a specific user to allow them to delete the idoc.
Please help me on this as this is critical.........
Thanks in advance
Chakri

One of t he possible way is, ask the basis team to create users as Service Users and you can determine whether the login user is whether a service or dialog user by using the a bapi BAPI_USER_GET_DETAIL under the exporting parameter logondata with field USRTYP where if the logged in user is Service user then this field will be populated as S if the user is a dialog user then it will be populated as A.
Now in more efficient way of fixing this is get the list of users for whom you donot want to give the authorization of deleting workitems and assign the appropriate role for all the listed users...
for roles and authorizations i hope the basis team is the right team to consult....

Workflow loop, return the work item to the inbox, instead of automatically executing the work item

Hello all,
Within a workflow I have a loop. Inside that a foreground step is executed. Then a condition step is executed to decide if the workflow should continue, stop, or return the work item to the inbox.
This new workflow was modeled after an existing workflow that is doing just that. Unfortunately, this new workflow is not returning the work item to the inbox. Instead, it just keeps displaying the screen that is called by the function module that is called by the business object method that is executed when the foreground task runs.
I've included a Word document with further detail in a number of screen prints. Hopefully this is something that will experience workflow developer may have seen before and know how to correct.
Unfortunately I have done very little workflow development and don't have a clue what might be causing this problem.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Bruce
I could not attach a Word file, so I added 3 jpg files. I would have added another 3, but it seems that posts are limited to 3 files.

Hi Bruce,
As per your design, If you are approving or returning, the workflow loops back to the step "Approver - stat key approve".
Suppose you are one of the approver for this step ""Approver - stat key approve" and if you click on approve or return, then it will try to create a new workitem for "Approver - stat key approve" step.
As you are one of the approver again, the window opens immediately instead of reaching the inbox of all other approvers.
Include a dummy activity step in the "approve & return" condition outcome.
Active the workflow & refresh the buffer SWU_OBUF.
After this, when you click on return it will not open the same screen again. Instead it will be reaching all the approvers' SAP inbox.
Thanks,
Karthikeyan

Error: You are not a receiver of the work item in Leave Request Deletion

Hi All,
We are using customized leave request workflow which is the copy of standard leave request workflow.
All tasks are assigned as general tasks and assigned in SWFVISU.
But the employees are unable to delete the leave request with Sent status.
Scenario:
Employee applies leave.
Now when the employee tries to delete / cancel the leave request before approval (Status is SENT), the employee is getting the error
"You are not a receiver of the work item".
This issue is happening for only the leaves which are in "SENT" status and though the employee is able to delete the "REJECTED" leave requests. The employee is also able to change / modify the leave requests without an issue.
We are on EHP 7 with SP level 22 and running this on Portal 740.
I have gone through the threads related to this issue but did not get any success.
Please let me know if I am missing something that can resolve the issue .
Regards,
Anurag

Hi Sid,
As I mentioned above, we are on EHP 7 with SP 22 and hence the above note 1066288 does not apply in our case.
Moreover, we're using WDA based application and the above note seems to be the one for XSS based on WDJ.

Error: "The workflow could not delete the list item"

Have set up 2 lists: Events and EventsArchive. They have all the same fields. I have created a workflow in SPD using an impersonation step (I have Full control of the site/site collection). Workflow is essentially this:
    If Curent Item:Expired
equals
Yes
       Copy item in Current Item to
EventsArchive
       then Delete item in
Current Item.
The item is copying over to the EventsArchive list just fine, but the "delete" part is not happening. Instead, I get the following error:
The workflow could not delete the list item. Make sure the list exists and the user has permissions to delete items in the list.
The list obviously exists (or I wouldn't be able to copy an item from it), and I have as much permissions as anyone can have, so I'm not sure where else to turn with this.
Thanks in advance for your help!

Hi,
To test the issue, I create a simple workflow without using Impersonation step:
It works.
Could you please create new lists to avoid custom settings and test the issue again?

Please Help me with the Work Item agent to agent forwarding error

hi folks ,
This is the error I am getting when I am trying to forward the work item from agent to agent.
"Work item 000000017188: Method SAP_WAPI_FORWARD_WORKITEM not allowed for type F "
Please Help in this regards. its Urgent.
thanks in advance for your help
Krishna Chaitanya

The F type Workitem cannot be forwarded because it represents Workflow (Also Subworkflow) workitem Id.
You have to find out with workitem which has status W(Dialog Work Item; Represents a Single-Step Task) from SWWWIHEAD table and status should be in process and the TOP_WI_ID should be the value that you are trying to forward.
Thanks

Error: You are not a receiver of the work item in Leave Request Approval

Hi all,
I have copied the standard leave request workflow and done the customization as per my requirement.
Agent assignment for all the tasks are General Tasks.
We are facing below error when we are trying to approve the leave request from MSS UWL.
"You are not a receiver of the work item.".
This started happening after implementing the note 1501377 which is for clearing the approved leave request
workitems from UWL .
i have gone through the threads related to this issue and tried given solution but no success .
Please let me know if anything else is missing since its happening after implementing the note.
Thanks,
Santosh

Able to resolve the issue :-).
i was using Fork since my workflow is a two level process.
so the workflow was travelling to both branches one was in ready state another was in waiting state(48hours deadline)
having different agents.
i debugged the 1501377 note code when leave is approved it is looking at last workitem of the request which is waiting state workitem in my case and I was trying to approve the leave from user who is in ready state. then it throws the error.
So i have changed the design of workflow. i have done below things for two level process.
i will have requested end for approval task with outcome in that branch i kept second level approver. My questions
1) i am planning to do write below code to post the entries into infotypes after approval by managers. is it ok or any suggestions?
   CALL METHOD cl_pt_arq_processor=>post
      EXPORTING
        im_request =
      RECEIVING
        ret_value = retrun
2) how to complete the WF if the 1st manager misses the deadline and WF goes to second manager?
Please let me know.
Thanks,
Santosh

You are not a receiver of the work item in ESS Leave

Hi,
We are using standard ESS leave application in our portal, where employee can raise leave and his manager can approve/reject his leave. But I want in case manager rejects the leave, the rejected leave should not come into MSS UWL of employee, we will send a mail to employee and he can again login to ESS leave application and where he will see the rejected leave and he can re apply/change/delete the rejected leave. We do not want rejected leave to come in UWL of employee as a work item.
As of now when manager rejects the leave rejected leave of an employee , it is coming in UWL of the employee which we do not want, so what we did, we went to standard leave work flow template WS12300111, in that we double clicked on Task (TS12300116, Process Request by Employee) and in that we clicked on agent assignment icon and than we clicked on attribute and we selected General forwarding not allowed radio button, by default general task radio button was selected.
After selecting General forwarding not allowed radio button, even when manager rejects employee leave, rejected leave is not coming in UWL of employee which we want exactly, but another error is coming when employee goes to ESS leave application again and change or delete this rejected leave he is getting the error You are not a receiver of the work item .
But if we select general task radio button in agent assignment in work flow , than eveything is working fine but employee is getting rejected leave in his UWL, that we do not want at all, so why after selecting different radio button this error is coming ?
Why employee is getting this error, why employee can not reapply/change his rejected leave. Is this portal error OR workflow error OR HR configuration error and what is the solution for this..

If you need this option then you need to change the WF Task.
General Forwarding Not Allowed
This indicator enables you to determine that work items for this task can only be forwarded to users who are agents for the task.
If this indicator is not set, a work item for this task can be forwarded to all users.
The best way to take care of User
Forwaring authorization is the Task Classification (PFTC -> Additional
Data -> Classification). Classify tasks with General Forwarding Not
allowed, will give you the oppotunity to let the user allow to forward
items JUST to the Possible Agents Assigned to the task
(Additional Data -> Agent Assingment -> Maintain)...
Clear that everything depends on How you have developed your workflows
definitions. In that cases the best think to do is
create Different Tasks definition (TSxxxxxx) and let they start
depending on Company Code (That can be driven via Conditions steps in
the workjflow definition, for example). This will allow you to define
Just the responsible Agents per each task, depending on the Companny
Code. This definitively Resolve the Forwarding frelated Question.

How to delete the downloading items in itunes?

how to delete the downloading items in itunes?

Unfortunately, this doesn't work. If you let them download and delete them, they just download again at some point in the future. I've been trying to figure this one out myself, but so far, every time I remove something, it comes back "later".

Warning messages "You are not a receiver of the work item"...

Hi Experts,
We are facing an issue in which couple of users are getting warning messages "You are not a receiver of the work item" in there Portal Inbox. But they are not getting any warning message while accessing the same from R/3 inbox. We tried replicating the issue but it is working fine for us. Is it related to workitems which are of any particular type??? Kindly suggest.....
Just to add some more thing we have gone through the Forum : UWL workitem error: you are not a receiver of the work item and also the OSS notes: 1133821, but we do not get any appropriate solution.
Please suggest.
Appreciate your quick response.
Thanks,
Harish
Edited by: harish vyas on May 3, 2010 1:24 PM

Hi Enrique,
Yes users are using SSO.
As suggested I have checked in transaction SU53 and there is no error message for the user i.e. we are getting success message as "The last authorization check was successful".
Please suggest what can I try.
Also adding to this, Warning message which users are getting is not a show stopper i.e. they are able to process workitems successfully.
Thanks,
Harish

Hello,
The best solution would be to take your mouse, move your cusror to the top part of your screen, and click on the "Before you ask (here are many workflow answers)" thread. If you've tried everything that is proposed there then please reply to this thread explaing what you have tried.

Validation Error when updating Feature work item to completed state?

We are on the latest version of TFS 2013 and have customized process templates based off of the Scrum template.
We have a custom workflow for the Feature work item type. I get an error when trying to update the state to custom done state of "Prod Deployment Successful". The error I receive is below:
TF237165: Team Foundation could not update the work item because of a validation error on the server etc etc.
I have TFS Admin rights as well as project and project collection Admin rights.

I have also updated the Process Configuration file to map the states to the meta states so I can show the custom states on the Feature board. The section in the process configuration file that relates to Feature is below:
<States>
        <State type="Proposed" value="Planned" />
        <State type="InProgress" value="Canceled" />
       <State type="InProgress" value="On Hold" />
       <State type="InProgress" value="In Progress" />
       <State type="InProgress" value="Ready For QA" />
       <State type="InProgress" value="QA Deployment Failed" />

       <State type="InProgress" value="Ready For Stage" />
       <State type="InProgress" value="Stage Deployment Failed" />
       <State type="InProgress" value="Stage Deployment Successful" />

       <State type="InProgress" value="Prod Deployment Failed" />
        <State type="Complete" value="Prod Deployment Successful" />
      </States>
The error ONLY happens when I try to update a Feature state to "Prod Deployment Successful". I have looked at other posts and searched the internet and have found no help for my exact issue in TFS 2013. For some
reason, I can't update the state from "Ready For Prod" to "Prod Deployment Successful". Does anyone have any ideas of what could be wrong or causing my issue?
Thanks in advance!

I finally figured out my issue and fixed it.
I had to update a reference name in the WIT xml file to Common.BusinessValue instead of Closed.
