Terminating event of a task is not working

Hi,
I implemented WS20000075 for purchase order release.
The dialog workitem of approval has terminating event 'released'
all thru the developement in dev and Q system., this was working
but in production , it happened that other user release PO from me29n
the approval workitem is still in process
i cant check events because trace is off
cud please suggest wat cud be the reason that inspite of release of PO, the workitem did not complete ?
thanks
r

Two questions first:
#1) In Dev and Q, did you test (or experience) the scenario you are facing in Prod, that being someone else is Releasing the PO?
#2) In Prod, when the Approver performs the release step, does the WF advance?
I'm going to presume that the answer to #1 is NO, and the answer to #2 is YES. If that is the case, here's what I believe to be the dilemma you face.
A "Terminating Event" is not the same as a "Wait for Event". The purpose of a Terminating Event is to essentially call back to an activity that is "In Progress" that the work is done and that its time for the activity to end and to move on.
Your PO Release for example; The user clicks the Release icon and then clicks Save. At that point, processing is handed off to the Update Process (Asynchronous) and the screen is exited. Even though you've left the screen, there's no telling if or when the Update Process for the save has even started or when it has been completed. But it's only when the Update Process has completed that the true Logical Unit of Work (LUW) has completed, and hence when it's appropriate to move on to the next step in the WF.
The way this gets accomplished is to trigger a Terminating Event at the very end of the Update Process, which in turn gets picked up by the PO Release activity that is still sitting and waiting with status "Executing". And that's the key.
I'm almost 100% certain that the Activity has to be in the state of "Executing" before it will react to a Terminating Event. In your scenario, where the Release gets performed outside of the WF, the Release Activity is still in "Ready" status.
I think the solution here is to put a "Wait for Released" in parallel with the Release Activity as a means of capturing the Release that occurs outside of the WF.
Hope this is relevant....Apologies if not.

Office 2013 C2R Update Scheduled Task does not work

Hi all.
I am having difficulty getting network deployed updates to work correctly. I installed and older version of Office 2013 with the ODT from a network share and set the update path. I then downloaded an update via ODT.
The issue is the scheduled task does not update office. If I trigger or manually run from a command prompt "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office 15\ClientX64\integratedoffice.exe RUNMODE RERUNMODE modetorun updatedetection modeargs reschedulemode tasktrigger
scheduledtask updateuitype background” from Task Scheduler nothing seems to happen. Monitoring Task Manager it looks like integratedoffice is called albeit very briefly.
But, if I run "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office 15\ClientX64\integratedoffice.exe RUNMODE RERUNMODE modetorun updatedetection background” from a command prompt Office updates, but if I edit the Scheduled Task to above Office does not update if the
task is triggered.
As Office can update if the right command is given it would appear that my config.xml etc is correct. Any ideas on why the Scheduled Task does not work?
Cheers
Jakes

What permissions are set on the location of the updates ? C2R currently needs permissions granted for machine accounts as it runs under that context. This will change at some point that C2R gets updated.

( SOLVED )gnome-terminal, su, sudo, gksu, gksudo does not work

Hello,
In my fresh installed gnome3 graphical environment, in gnome-terminal, I can not gain root access.
I've tried diverse su commands.
1. su command, ends with:
su -
Password:
su: Authentication failure
2. sudo command, ends with:
sudo -l
[sudo] password for root:
Sorry, try again.
[sudo] password for root:
Sorry, try again.
[sudo] password for root:
sudo: 2 incorrect password attempts
Of course - each time, I typed correct password.
In my sudoers file, group wheel ( into which belongs user I logged in ) has permissions to execute any command.
3. gksudo with debug:
gksudo -ld gnome-terminal
No ask_pass set, using default!

I've been asked for my password, not root, after typing I get "incorrect password attempt", if I type root pwd I get the same.
4. Same with this command:
gksu -ld gnome-terminal
No ask_pass set, using default!

In multi-user-mode I can login to root account.

Hurrican, ok, there is no need to install antother terminal, as I wrote it did not work also in xterm.
Yesterday evening, tired and sad that gk(su|sudo) still does not work,
as the "last chance idea", I logged in into multi-user mode ( init level 3 ) and changed root's password,
then loged in into graphical mode ( init level 5 ), start gnome-terminal and suddenly ... command "su -" started to work.
By the way, similar solution ( but with chroot ) has suggested Gulver in his post ( this thread, answer #2 ).
The question is, why root's password, set during install, after finished installation is recognized in text mode, but not im graphical ?
First root's password was really simple, like "dog4356", without any national chars.
You're right. I don't even have xterm installed so I guess I just singled out gnome-terminal and forgot that xterm also wasn't working.
Forgive me for my shaky advice. Like you I've been super busy, and sweating out a fever of 102 degrees (that's Fahrenheit no my
blood wasn't boiling ). Anyways, glad you got it working. After reading over the whole thread and thinking about it for a little bit, I
can't really make a good guess as to what was happening.
I'm sure you probably had tried this, but you could have typed the password out in the command line so you could see it. If there was
something wrong with it, it would have shown up there as well. If it was perfectly fine, then it would have been very, very weird.
The important thing is you got it working.
Merry Christmas.

Ctrl Alt Del and Task manager not working

Hi, Ive been having a problem getting task manager to run at all. On a fresh reboot, if I use the ctrl alt del function the according screen will come up like normal, and I will click on task manager. It bring me back to my desktop and nothing pops up.
Its not running in my task bar or anything. Then if I try to use the ctrl alt del function again, nothing happens. Ive tried running task manager straight from the start menu, but then I get an error saying that the version of that file is not compatible with
the version of windows I am running, which is 64 bit W7. It just started happening on my system a few days ago and I have changed nothing the past few days. I have tried to do a system restore, but to my idiocy, I did not know I needed to manually create restore
points. So I can only restore to yesterday which would fix nothing. I have run antivirus and anti spyware programs and they have shown no problems and my hard drive only has a 1% disk fragmentation. Is there a way to uninstall and re download a 64 bit compatible
version of the windows 7 task manager? Or is there a separate reason why it is not working? Thankyou

Also try it By Registry Editor :
Start --> Run --> regedit --> ok
Then
Hive: HKEY_CURRENT_USER
Key: Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System
Name: DisableTaskMgr
Type: REG_DWORD
Value: 0=Disablethis key, that is Don't Disable, Enable TaskManager

The first fix did not work, I tried doing the second one but there is no system folder in
Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\
The only one its showing is an explorer folder.

Running Function Module in Background with Update Task is not working

Hello Friends,
I have a "Z" Report Program where I am running this Report in Background using JOB_OPEN, JOB_SUBMIT, JOB_CLOSE. I am calling this in BADI.
In this Report I am calling another Function Module PRICES_POST which is a standard Function Module and in this FM there is another FM 'CKML_UPDATE_MATERIAL_PRICE IN UPDATE TASK'. Now when I am running the BADI these values are not being updated.
Friends I would like to know whether can we run Function Modules which are included with UPDATE TASK as Background Job program?
Kindly help me in providing your valuable suggestions in proceeding further.
Thanks and Regards
Pradeep Goli

Usually the sequence of CALLs in your report should look like
CALL FUNCTION 'CM_F_INITIALIZE'
    EXPORTING
      msg_on_screen = c_x.
CALL FUNCTION 'CKMS_BUFFER_REFRESH_COMPLETE'.
CALL FUNCTION 'PRICES_CHANGE'

Export Task Audit Not Working

Hello,
We are on HFM 11.1.2.1.103 and I am getting an error message when trying to export a users activity from the "Task Audit" menu. When I click on export a new tab comes up with the URL http://server:port/hfm/Administration/TaskAuditExport.asp and then I get an error message:
An error occurred on the server when processing the URL. Please contact the
system administrator.
If you are the system administrator please click here to find out more
about this error.
And when I click on "here" it takes me to this URL Running Classic ASP Applications on IIS 7 and IIS 8 : The Official Microsoft IIS Site
Any thoughts on how I resolve this would be much appreciated.
Thank you,
Jason

SDM,
Thank you for the response. This is helpful and I was able to extrac the data, but this utility doesn't give you the ability to focus on one users' activity as you can from the web. Why is it not recommended to use the web and is there a way to get that working properly?
The reason the utility is not working for my purpose is I want to view a few users' activities over the last year and when I run the utility it gives me everyone and extracts the data across numerous files, which is not particularly easy to work with.
Thanks.

Manually dispatching a keyboard tab event on a form does not work

Hi,
I am trying to solve the following issue:
I have a form that is sitting on a TitleWindow. This is a popup window. I have a TextInput field. After clicking on the TextInput field when I try to paste something on it, nothing happens the first time and it works i.e. I am able to paste when I do a cntrl V the second time (I am trying to solve this weired behavior). When I use the keyboard to tab to the TextInput field I am able to paste using cntrl V the first time itself.
Therefore, I am trying to manually dispatch a tab keyboard event on a form using the following code and this does not work. I have 2 TextInput component on the form and I want the cursor to be on the second TextInput component.
I have a have a key down handler and I can see that the event that comes in is a tab event, but on the UI the cursor does not position itself correctly.
myForm.setFocus();
myForm.dispatchEvent(
new KeyboardEvent(KeyboardEvent.KEY_UP, true, false, Keyboard.TAB,Keyboard.TAB ))
Am I missing something?
Appreciate your help.
Thanks
Lilly

No I am not trying to change the text programmatically. I have added a click event handler and a paste event handler on the textinput. I checked the differences in the properties of event and did not see anything that is different.
I have a hunch that it has something to do with the fact that this form is sitting on a popup window.

Key Command troubles: Set Region/Event Start to SPL Position not working?

Hello,
I'm simply trying to find a key command that will allow me to move regions quickly from one part of a song to another without dragging with them with the mouse in the arrange window. I thought I found the solution with the key command "Set Region/Event Start to SPL Position", however it doesn't seem to be doing anything!
Here's what I've tried: First I select the region I want to move, then I move my SPL to a location using the "go to Position" key command and typing in a bar. I then try to use the "Set Region/Event Start to SPL Position" key command (which I set to Shift-Control-L) and nothing happens. Shouldn't it be moving my region to the SPL? Note: the region is still selected, but refuses to move. Am I doing something wrong? Is this not what this key command was designed to do?
In my attempts to get the darn thing to work, I also discovered that lock screen-set (Shift-L) key command also does not seem to work (it is not toggling the black dot after the screen-set number like usual). Does this mean my key commands may be corrupted? (which would be a real drag!!) Oddly enough, these are the two are the only two that do not seem to be working, as all others seem to be working fine (AFAIK).
I've had this problem in the past with the lock screen-set key command not working, and rebuild all key commands and templates when I upgraded to tiger. I thought everything was working fine!
Any advice would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance for your help!!

I assigned F5 to two functions. In the key commands
window, pressing F5 highlighted the first assignment.
Pressing it again highlighted the second assignment.
So just keep pressing the key to see whether it's
assigned to more than one command...
Well, now when I type "Shift-L" into the finder in the top right of the key commands window, no key commands at all are show. However, which I search for the word "lock," the lock screenset key command comes up as "Shift-L." Oddly, if I search any other key commands (such as F1, "cmd-k," or even other shift ones like "shift-," the associated key commands show up.
To test, I changed the screen set lock from Shift-L to "opt-ctrl-L" and it now works again. However, it still will not come up in the key commands window through searching by "opt-ctrl-L"
On what may be a side note, the search feature seems very buggy! Tell me if I'm doing this right: First I open the key commands window, which opens with nothing selected. Now, in order to search by key command I go up to the top right corner where the magnifying glass is, place my curser inside and type in the key command correct? When I do this, it shows me the highlighted key command in the left, and my curser is no longer flashing up in the magnifying glass, correct?
Now, in order to search again, I have to place my curser in the search field again, right? However, now when I search by key command, not all of them register! For example, my "go to position" key command is simply ; but when I type it, nothing comes up in the search, and instead of the magnifying glass window being blank like before, the actual ; is in the box. Oddly enough, searching with "Cmnd-K" still works!
What is going on? Am I doing something wrong? How do I fix this, as it is very frustrating!! thanks again for your help

MOUSE Events on FX 2.0 not working correctly

Hi,
I am trying to capture mouse right click in my Java FX application to show the ContextMenu but couldn't do so.
There are methods available in the API i.e. isSecondaryButtonDown() and isPrimaryButtonDown on MouseEvents to capture mouse clicks but not working.
Both of the above mention methods return false irrespective of right or left click.
I will be glad to see resolution for it.
Thanks in Advance.
Ashish

I have no idea what the context of the code you are writing is, but capturing of MouseEvents works fine for me.
Perhaps you are trying to test mouseEvent.isSecondaryButtonDown() in a MOUSE_CLICKED event handler which will correctly return false after a right mouse click because the click event can't be generated until the button is released (i.e. no longer down).

I have downloaded the task "Take Picture" from automator.us, installed it and used it in Automator. It does not work! The log reads that an error occurred in (NSReceiverEvaluationScriptError: 4 (-2700)).

[Forum FAQ] Group Policy Preferences Scheduled Tasks Item not working when the option Run whether user is logged on or not is selected

Scenario:
We use one of the following Group Policy Preferences Scheduled Tasks item to deploy a task to clients:
Computer Configuration -> Control Panel Settings -> Scheduled Tasks -> New -> Scheduled Task (At least Windows 7)
Computer Configuration -> Control Panel Settings -> Scheduled Tasks -> New -> Immediate Task (At least Windows 7)
User Configuration -> Control Panel Settings -> Scheduled Tasks -> New -> Scheduled Task (At least Windows 7)
User Configuration -> Control Panel Settings -> Scheduled Tasks -> New -> Immediate Task (At least Windows 7)
(Note that on some platforms, "At least Windows 7" is replaced with "Windows Vista and later.")
After designating a user account to run the task, we select “Run whether user is logged on or not” option, and “The Do not store password…”
check box is automatically grayed out (See Figure 1).
Figure 1
After finishing configuring the task item, on a client, we run command
gpupdate/force to forcefully update group policy. However, on the client, when we check if the task is listed in Task Scheduler snap-in, the task is not displayed, and when we run
gpresult/h report.html to collect group policy result for troubleshooting, we see an error as similar as shown in the following figure (Figure 2).
Figure 2
Cause:
To make the scheduled task run whether the user is logged on or not, we need to store the password of the designated user account. However, for the content of the scheduled
task item is stored in Sysvol where it’s not safe to store passwords, this function has been deprecated.
Workaround:
We can run the task with system account
NT Authority\System, or we can use specific user accounts to run the task when the given user is logged on. (See Figure 3)

Hello Everyone,
Succeeded !!!!!!!
Even i was struggling with this same Problem to execute a batch via Window scheduler and set the setting to "Run whether the user is logged in or not".
I tried many time but the batch runs with " Run
whether user is logged on" and not with "Run
whether user is logged on or not".
what i discovered is that there was one mapped drive
path in my batch file which was not the complete path like y:/AR.qvw actually what i did i changed that map path to the complete path like \\servnamename\d$\AR.qvw and the batch executed successfully with the setting "Run
whether user is logged on or not"
The
conclusion is that check the dependency of the script on external resources because when you check this option "Run
whether user is logged on or not" It actually conflicts. This my discovery.
If
you have any question write me on [email protected]
Thanks
& Regards,
Arun
