Time inconsistency for approval process

This is strange.
The time to improve a new book has been improved dramatically from a few month to a few days. My latest book was approved in two days.
However, i uploaded revisions for two of my books and they are still in review for almost three weeks now, no tickets, just sitting there.
Anybody have a similar experience?

Provision for Approval process

Dear Experts,
I have a requirement "To be able to provision for Approval process by FInance, when role of business partner upgraded from prospect to customer"
I guess this is done through Workflow concept. but I don't have Idea in detail.
Looking forward for reply
Regards
Manu

About your questions...
1. According to my knowleadge there is no such standard functonality. But I implemented something similar in our company in the folowing way:
- prospect is created in CRM
- when prospect needs to be transformed to customer, salesman issues task with filled questionary
- finance departments receives this task and if it agrees transforms frospect to customer in ERP with VA07
2. If you mean that only certain data should be maintained by certain companies, then only via coding this could be achieved.
3. If you mean that in relatonship you define, to which organization contat person belongs, then I'm not sure. Never tried it. For employees I know it is possible so robably it could be done also for contact persons.
4. You can store documents. But if you want to have special access to this documents, then this would not be the case.
5. Yes. You can use account hierarchies for that.

Template Folder for Approval Process in KM Repository

Hi,
I have the following scenario:
There is a Folder that has been set up with an approval step and approvers.
What i need to do is to copy this folder to another location in the same repository and the approval process.
For example:
In the folder /documents/Sales/ApprovalTemplate/ is defined the following step:
STEP: Content Validation
Approvers: salesApproverGroup
I create a new folder: /documents/Sales/Presentations
Inside that folder I want to copy the folder /documents/Sales/ApprovalTemplate/. That's no problem. But when the folder is copied here: /documents/Sales/Presentations/ApprovalTemplate/ it has no more approval steps neither approvers. Whatsmore, the approval process isn't enabled.
Is there any way to manage to copy folders and copy approval process?
Thanks in advance!
Nicolas

Hello Nicolas,
There is no standard way of transporting an approval process, see the following threads which discuss the same topic:

History for approval process

Hi out there,
Is it possible to see the approval history of a document?
For example:
File test.txt
- 05/10/08 file created by Mr.X
- 05/11/08 submit for approval by Mr.X
- 05/12/08 rejected by Mr.Y in step1
- 05/13/08 submit for approval by Mr.X
- 05/14/08 approved by Mr.Y in step 1
- 05/15/08 approved by Mr.Y in step 2
Best regards,
Manuel

Hi,
There is no standard tool to check this information.
I would suggest that you write your own portal component to achieve this.
Look into KM API's to do this:
http://help.sap.com/javadocs/NW04S/current/km/index.html
Here you see how to access IStatemanagementUtilsResource object of each KM File (method createFolderStmgUtilsResource).
https://forums.sdn.sap.com/thread.jspa?threadID=839022
The IStatemanagementUtilsResource class has some helper methods to get infos on the state of the document.
The information "05/10/08 file created by Mr.X " is just a property on the document, so just read the property from km document (KM Property is createdby):

No time card for approve as "pending approval"

Hi Folks,
There are couple of time cards submitted successfully by an employee (labor).
But the same time cards are not there when checking them to approve at Approver's (Supervisor) user.
So, what could be the issue and how to find out it? we are in 11.5.10.2 version.
Could anybody help me in this issue?
Thanks in advance.

There may be couple of things:-
1. Try running "Workflow Background Process" concurrent program for the item type "OTL Workflow for Employees" with "Process Deferred" as Yes.
2. If still there is no approval notification, try tracking the workflow and check if there is any error.

Time duration for Process.waitFor() to wait.

Can we specify the time duration for the Process.waitFor() after which it resumes?
          Runtime rt=Runtime.getRuntime();
          Process ps=rt.exec("some command");
          ps.waitFor();
Like here if rt.exec() is taking a lot of time to execute, the ps should wait for a certain period of time for rt to execute and if rt doesnt complete within the specified time then ps should resume.

I don't know exactly what you are doing but what about: wait(long timeout);

How to set up approval process for test case in SAP solution manager?

Hi Experts,
We need to setup a 2 level approval process for test case documents in SAP Solution Manager.
e.g. If test case document is uploaded for transaction "MM01" then first it will go to Reviewer1. Once Reviewer1 approves it , should go to Reviewer2.
Adn finally once reviewer2 approves it , it will be complete.
What are the required configurations and steps for approval process setup? It will be helpful if screenshots and detailed steps are provided.
Thanks.

Creation of Approval process folder in KM

Hi,
I have created a folder in KM content for the approval process under the document directory. The approval process, the notifications in UWL, emails everythign works fine. I then created a 'KM content navigation iview' for displaying this particular folder. Now the problem is I dot get the 'Submit for Approval " menu item in this iview. This menu item is normally under Selection->Approval->Submit for Approval in the KM content view.
Any ideas on how to get this done ?
All I need to do is to create a folder for approval process so that the users can create any document and submit for approval. I want this folder to be displayed via an iview where the user can submit for approval process.
Thanks
Sheril

HiParam,
I worked on a similar thing.
You just have to choos ethe right layout set for ur iview.
Modify the AdminExplorer Layout set.In AdminCollectionListRenderer choose StatemanagementMassGroup as the Mass command group.
Go to Iview 's properties and change the layout set to ur's new customised one.
I hope u know how to modify the layout set.
I hope it helps.

How to setup Time stamp for CO-PA.

Hello Friends,
I have created CO-PA datasource in KEB0. Defaultly, the delta method has been selected as
'Generic delta'. But, I need time stamp for delta process.
Where can I setup time stamp for CO-PA data source?
Thanks
Sumanth

Hi,
You need not maintain the timestamp for COPA separately.
A generic data source for which delta based on the timestamp is automatically created.
By default the delta for CO-PA is based on timestamp and you need not do it manually.
Once you do an init for this and see an entry in RSA7 for the COPA data source then you check the option delta status in front of the data source...just click on it and it will tell you upon which field the delta for data source is based...you will find that for CO-PA its by default always timestamp.
Thanks

Skipping ' submit for Approval '

Hi ,
I am setting up a document workflow process in KM . I have a requirement as follows ..
Once a document is uploaded into the folder ( which is assigned with set of approval steps and
users ) , I need to send all the documents in that folder for approval process with out Approver admin manually clicking ' submit for Approval ' button . Is this possible by configuration or we need to write some extra code .
Any help is appreaciated .
Thanks
Aneez

Hi Aneez,
yes you will need to write some extra code. The concept would be like that:
1. you will have to implement an eventlistener which will be called, if a document is created or uploaded.
2. this event listener has to call the API of the statemanagement service in order to submit the document.
3. For each repository of interst, you can register your event listener using the getEventBroker method.
There you have to specify the events, you are intersted in.
Details:
1. class MyEventListerner implements IEventReceiver{
private static IResourceEvent CREATE_CHILD_EVENT = new ResourceEvent(ResourceEvent.CREATE_CHILD, null);
public void received(IEvent event) {
    event.isLike(CREATE_CHILD_EVENT)) {
      IResource resource = (IResource)event.getParameter();
   this.submitResource(resource);
   private void submitResource(IResource resource){
     // get the statemanagement service from the resource
      IRepositoryServiceFactory factory = ResourceFactory.getInstance().getServiceFactory();
IStatemanagementManager statemanagement =
      (IStatemanagementManager)factory.getRepositoryService(resource, IWcmConst.STATEMANAGEMENT_SERVICE);
IStatemanagementResource sResource =
statemanagement.getStatemangementResource(resource)
IResourceTransition transition = sResource.getTransition("lbl.submit")
// if everything is correct than transition is not null
if (transition != null) transition.execute();
Please keep in mind, that this is only a scatch how it may work. You have to ensure, that the statemanagement is enabled for the parent folder of the resource. Otherwise, the transition may be null or not executable.
I hope this helps.

Andreas
