Triggering the workflow after the Notification is created

Hi Everyone,
If the two workflow templates have the same triggering event BO: BUS7051, Event: CREATED). Both the workflows are triggered after the notification is created.
Scenario:
After terminating an employee notification number is created and triggers the workflow template 99900033 (Event: CREATED)
After Promoting an employee notification number is created and triggers the workflow template 99900035 (Event: CREATED)
My Requirement is: I want to trigger only one workflow template depending on my scenario (Termination or Promotion).
How can I achieve this? Could you please let me know?

please include a simple condition in SWB_COND where employment EQ Termination for termination event linkage (SWE2) and similary for promotion also create ne more condition and include in promotion event linkage.
You might be having some doc type, so based on this you can achieve this.

MRP generated Automatic PR creation is not trigerring the Workflow.

Dear Experts,
In our Implementation we are using workflow for Purchase Requsition. The release strategy is configured by the functional consutant. For the MRP generated PR the first releasig point is MRP controller and the PR type is Custom type MRP PR. If we create the PR manually with the said PR type the workflow is getting triggered ( checked in SWI1) and sending the E-mail notification like other types of PR like Invertory and Capex PR.
But while running the MRP, some PRs of MRP PR type with same releasing point are being created automatically for the material (Raw, Packging) as per the setting of reorder level but these PRs triggering the workflow as it did while creating maually. Please guide / suggest me how I have to trigger the work flow for Automatic MRP generated PR.

Your query is not clear. Does the workflow initiator is different for the 2 PRs.

Triggering of WorkFlow in Transaction CBIH12(EH&S)

Good day All.
We have created a customer object(transaction SWO1) for the Risk Assessment(transaction CBIH12) in EH&S. We have been looking for ways of triggering the WorkFlow for the Risk Assessment. The available user exits didnt help.
Is there anyone out there who has done these or advice us how to do it.
Regards
Makoro Manyathela

Thanks for the speedy response. We've tried that, but the "Change Document Object" for Risk Assessment in not included in the possible list.
The following change document object for this transaction is CBIH_ERH for the Risk Assessment and CBIH_AC for the Safety Measure. This information can be seen in the change document CDHDR.

Http link to activity or opportunity in the workflow email message

Hello All,
I created a custom checkbox in task screen. When new task is created and checkbox is checked send email to the user.
in email body I would like to include the http link so that when user click on the link directly goto Activity/Task or atleast opportunity.
Thanks
Pallavi

Hi,
I'm not sure about an Opty link as you are on the Task record for the trigger but try this:
This is a link to an Opty record on the DSA pod:
https://secure-ausomxdsa.crmondemand.com/OnDemand/user/OpportunityDetail?OpptyDetailForm.Id=ABJA-19SNTU
To reuse this for any other record type or another system do the following:
Open a record that you want to link to i.e. SR for DSA Demo and you get this URL at the top
https://secure-ausomxdsa.crmondemand.com/OnDemand/user/ServiceRequestDetail?ServiceRequestDetailForm.Id=HU15-NT8Q&OMTGT=ServiceRequestDetailForm&OMTHD=ServiceRequestDetailNav&OMRET0=ServiceRequestHomepage&OCTYPE=Other&ocTitleField=Abstract&ocTitle=Send+copy+of+Annual+Report&ocEdit=Y
As you can see the URL starts the same except it references ServiceRequestDetail instead of Opty detail.
From the OnDemand screen copy everything from http:// to ServiceRequestDetail? ServiceRequestDetailFormID= and paste it into your workflow email.
Click the Fx button and add the Row ID.
Voila you now have a link in an email that will open the record that triggered the workflow.
cheers

Workflow:To trace with whom the workflow is pending

Hi All,
Is there any standard Tcode to find who are the approvers for a particular Workflow triggered?
There is requirement to trace with whom the workflow is pending.
Please suggest.
Will appreaciate a quick reply.
Thanks,
Deb

Hi Deb,
In the business workplace of the initiator (i.e. the person who raised the request which inturn triggered the workflow) under the tree "Outbox" there would be an item called "Started workflows".
All the workflows which have been initiated by him would be avalilable under that option.
There you can check the status of the workflows started by him. Further you can check the log of the individual workflows(Click on the "workflow log" icon). In the log you can see with whom the workflow is currently pending.
P.S. (Transaction to get to the outbox directly - SO02)

Workitem button is not comming in swel though the workflow gets triggered

Dear All,
I have copied the std wf WS20000075 and doing customization for po release as per my clients requirement. Once PO is being created in ME21N i am able to see the event trace in SWEL , but its showing an error , " Import container contains errors (are any obligatory elements missing? " .and no workitem button is comming in SWEL so that i am not able to see the workflow log .
so that though the workflow gets triggered , i am not able to trace it .
I have gone through the solutions given in sdn , but i didn't get any solution for my issue.
Hope to get a positive solution for this soon.
Thanks

This is error in ECC 6.0 for BUS2012.
For the time being I am using solution which I have given in this thread but rigid solution is to raise an OSS note.
I myself will raise an OSS but before would like to debug and find out what it is expecting exactly so i said use SWUE to find what went wrong.
Cheers
Jai
I am having the same error, it goes into error for ECC6.0 version. I have not got chance to see why it is happening?
any way for the time being you can do this : go to SWE2 and for given business object and receiver type, change the settings of "Behaviour upon error feedback" from "default" to "do not change linkage" so every time atleast event will trigger and so workflow, yeah ofcourse event will be queued in SWEAD. So final solution is an OSS
NOTE:
Check this thread, Glauco has given OSS note 797775

Problem in triggering the correct workflow on AdobeForm submission for PCR

Hi All,
I am facing a problem involving triggering of workflows through Adobe form submission. I have created a scenario for "Employee seperation" in QISRSCENARIO transaction and assigned it to an approval workflow. I have also activated and assigned the BUS7051-Created event in the workflow Basic Data. My workflow also triggers perfectly when i submit the adobe form. Everything is perfect till here.
Now i have to create another scenario for "Request for Transfer" Now for this i had to create a seperate workflow. My problem is since both these workflows are assigned to the same event whenever i submit the "Employee seperation" form both the workflows get triggered. Is there a setting where i can configure the corresponding workflow to be triggered for the respective scenario's alone? How do we handle this situation?

Hi Jocelyn/Raja,
I am trying to use SWB_COND for differentiating between the different workflows. I have created a virtual attribute W_SCENARIO_KEY for this. I tried populating this scenario key by using the following staement,

CALL FUNCTION 'ISR_SPECIAL_DATA_GET'
EXPORTING
 notification_no = object-key-number
IMPORTING
 SCENARIO = w_scenario_key.
SWC_SET_ELEMENT CONTAINER 'W_SCENARIO_KEY' W_SCENARIO_KEY.
When i try to include W_SCENARIO_KEY as a start condition the workflow shows up an express message and fails to trigger. In ST22 i can see that there is an exception "INVALID_NOTIF_NUMBER" raised.
But if i don't set this as a start condition all the workflows activated to BUS7051-CREATED are triggered and in the WF logs i can see the correct value of W_SCENARIO_KEY for the respective notification number.
I am not sure why this happens when i set it as a start condition alone.
I instead used a select statement as shown below,
select * from viqmel into table itab_VIQMEL
 where qmnum = object-key-number.
loop at itab_viqmel where qmnum = object-key-number.
w_scenario_key = itab_viqmel-auswirk.
endloop.
After inserting this statement it works fine without any issues. Any idea on why ISR_SPECIAL_DATA_GET cant be used in the virtual attribute implementation?
The following is the dump i get if i use ISR_SPECIAL_DATA_GET,
Information on where terminated
 The termination occurred in the ABAP program "SAPLQISR9" in
 "ISR_SPECIAL_DATA_GET".
 The main program was "RSWDSTRT ".

Find how the Workflow OTA_LNR_TRNG_CANCEL_JSP_PRC is getting triggered

Hi all,
Hi I am new to workflows.
I have been trying to find out like crazy, how exactly the following Workflow is being triggered?
Workflow Process Internal name: OTA_LNR_TRNG_CANCEL_JSP_PRC
Workflow Process Display name : Cancel Learning Enrollment
The following is what exactly happens:
Using the Responsibility Learner Self-Service-->Learner Home
In the Home Tab, under enrollments, a list of all the courses that the user has enrolled for is displayed.
now i un-enroll, using the Un-Enroll button.
Now you come to the Unenroll: Pre Assessment page, where you select the New Status and Reason. Then press Finish.
You will get a confirmation and also a notification will be sent to you and your supervisor.
I need to customize this workflow, buti am unable to find out how is this workflow getting triggered.
I found out in the OAF page that when the un-enroll button is being pressed a form function OTA_LEARNER_CATALOG_ENROLL_DTL is being callled and this does has Form parameters:
pCancelProcessName=*OTA_LNR_TRNG_CANCEL_JSP_PRC*&pCancelCalledFrom=OTA_LEARNER_CATALOG_ENROLL_DTL&pItemType=HRSSA
But when i change the value of the pCancelProcessName to my custom process name, it still is refering to the seeded WF process.
Can anyone help me figure out where exactly is this workflow being triggered. Am really going nuts now? :S

I think that the WF is being called from an API
OTA_DELEGATE_BOOKING_API.UPDATE_DELEGATE_BOOKING
AND IN THAT THIS PARTICULAR CONDITION:
IF l_type ='C' and l_delegate_contact_id is null and l_contact_id IS NULL
and nvl(p_source_cancel,'-1') <> 'AME'
and l_event_rec.event_type in ('SCHEDULED','SELFPACED') then
OTA_LRNR_ENROLL_UNENROLL_WF.learner_unenrollment(p_process => 'OTA_LNR_TRNG_CANCEL_JSP_PRC',
p_itemtype => 'HRSSA',
p_person_id => l_person_id,
p_eventid => p_event_id);

Triggering workflow of an object from the workflow actions of another

Hi,
We have associated contacts to custom object 5 . For reporting purposes, the value of contact's account is being copied to the custom object's account through workflows whenever custom object record is created or edited. In case a custom object record is created and after that the contact record is updated so that its account gets changed, the custom object records related to that contact need to be updated too, otherwise there is a discrepancy issue. Can we somehow trigger the edit workflow of custom object 5 when the contact's record is updated?
Are there any other methods, if this is not possible , to achieve the result I described?
Regards.

You can't update another object when one object is updated i.e. Custom Object can't be updated automatically using Workflow when Contact Object is updated. You need to use Web Services to do this. All you have to do is define some Integration Events on the Parent object (which triggers the Update) and then based on the Integration EVent, update the Child Object (which needs to be updated).
BTW, this is not related to Contact On Demand, it is related to CRM On Demand Topic

Relationship between the workflows what have been triggered frm parent workflow using container step

Hi All,
There is a scenario in CQ5.5 where "Workflow A" has container step to initiate another "Workflow B" from it. Now the requirement is to identity the Workflow A's instance ID in "Workflow B".
Being quite unable to find any relationship between the workflows what have been triggered from parent workflow using container step.
Could any one share the pointers for the same?
Thanks in advanced.

How to allocate the workflow to the action defnitions in solution manager

Hi,
Well, why dont you check the event that gets triggered during the Status change of the user?
This can be done by switching on the EVENT TRACE using SWELS txn and simulate the BUSINESS PROCESS and then check the event trace using SWEL.
After getting the required Business Object and event, Please attach your WF to that EVENT in the BASIC DATA-START EVENTS.

Creation of a purchase order triggers the event ReleaseStepCreated twice

Hello,
I tried to use the standard workflow for the approval of a purchase order and noticed that i am receiving twice the same mail.
As you know, the workflow is triggered by the event ReleaseStepCreated. After I created a purchase order, i saw that the event is triggered twice, so that is why i am receiving two emails.
I believe this is wrong, Has anyone noticed this problem?
Thanks,
Efren

Hello,
The event linkage contains only one record, which is the one that connects my workflow to the event. This is not the cause.
What do you mean by delegations? Are you talking about delegated objects? If yes, i do not have any.
I looked in transaction SWEC(events for changed documents), and i guess i found the cause. There is a record with change doc. object EINKBELEG with the event ReleaseStepCreated of the object BUS2012. It has the trigger event "On Create", and in the Function Module, in Event Container it has function FRE_ORD_EVENT_PO_DB.
I removed this record and now the event RELEASESTEPCREATED is triggered only once, so i think it is ok.
I guess this record existed before there. Do you have that record with the function module FRE_ORD_EVENT_PO_DB?Or do you know what is the use of this function?

Switching off the workflows...

During actual production cutover, we need a means of switching off team center and other workflow updates that send information out of SAP during conversion runs and switch them back on again after conversion.
We need something that we can use (like a flag or switch) repeatedly for the release
HEY guys anyidea what can be done about this.. .need to this ASAP... going live in a few days....
Thanks in advance
Update :
For example
Now for a vendor create or change workflow.. we neeed to switch on or off the workflow depending on who is running it.. no which is std WF for vendor ?? i know questions are bit random... any help will do at this point
The business object BUS1008 for vendoe shows a stop sign...what exactly does that mean
The business object BUS2020 ACCOUNTS PAYABLE for vendoR is not implemented
The businedd obhect BUS3008 is active but the event is not implemented or released ..
These are all the details that i have... now i am not really sure who told these ppl that a workflow is triggered at all which sends the data to the Team center..
Any ideas ???

Hi,
Though I did not understand what you exactly need I can answer some of the questions you have asked below:
A stop sign in a Business Object indicates that the BO is obsolete and there is a newer version that is available. For example in the case of the vendor the newer version in LFA1.
To understand the various phases in a BO development then refer to this link:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw2004s/helpdata/en/c5/e4ab0e453d11d189430000e829fbbd/frameset.htm
Now coming to the main question of switch off the workflow depending on some criteria. I guess this can be acheived through start conditions. Though a proper business scenario is needed to justify why some people are exempted from the workflow process you can do this through start conditions. You will need to maintain a table where you update the table with the users for whom the workflow is not active and at runtime check the "Document created by" user and check it against the table and update an attribute and have the workflow start on the basis of this attribute.
Hope this helps,
Sudhi

To get the Workflow status using the Object Key

Hi Experts,
Do we have any transaction code or a Standard table where I can see the status of the Workflow using the Object Key.
For example I have an Invoice Document number for which a Workflow has been triggered and now I want to see the which workflow has been triggered and what is the status for the same. I have only the Invoice Document Number.
I think I can use the SWI1, SWEL etc but I don't have Object key as Input field.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
SRinivas

Hi,
You can find the workitem id in table SWW_WI2OBJ.
Here you need to pass the invoice number in "Instacne ID" with leading zeros, business object in Object type.
This may take little bit longer time.
After getting the workitem number then look into table SWWWIHEAD for the workitem status.
Thanks and regards,
SNJY
