APINV : Workflow Action History empty for approvers.- WF Note Empty

I have the invoice approval workflow working in Ebus. When the person (Person A) first receives the customised approval notification they have the WF_NOTE attribute and fill it in accordingly, they submit it to Person B.
When the next person (Person B) in the approval list gets the notification, there is no entry for the comments that person A has entered in the Action History.
If we go back to Person A's closed notifications, we can see their comment in their action history.
The Action history shows for Person A:
Line 1
From : Sysadmin
To : Person A
Details :
Line 2
From : Person A
To : Workflow System
Details : COMMENTS Entered.
Person B Sees
Line 1
From : Person A
To : Person B
Details :
is there a way to do this? or Am I missing something?
I have looked at Metalink and followed the note "Why Action History in APINV (AP Invoice) Approval Notification does not Show Approver's Comments in Details Column ? [ID 804497.1]" but still nothing showing in the approvers list.
Any Ideas Appreciated.

I can see that it is to do with the NID and process ID for the particular notification and it just shows comments relevant to that notification, but nothing in relation to the preceding notifications.

If the two are different notifications , then there would not be the action history shown from the old notification which has been responded.
If you still want to show the action history, then you can have a custom action history table in your notification. This can be done using a special message attribute
with the internal name #HISTORY to replace the default action history table provided by Oracle Workflow with a custom action history region.
Your custom action history table must be defined as an Oracle Application Framework region, or as a PL/SQL or PL/SQL CLOB document that contains text or HTML. For
more information about building an Oracle Application Framework region, refer to Oracle Application Framework Developer's Guide, available from OracleMetaLink note
391554.1.
Hope that helps !

Workflow Action History Information

Hi,
I have a Workflow in that workflow. The Approver wants some information from some other 3rd person ,so he will Request the information using the Request Information option .

GL Approval Action History from Workflow tables

Hi All,
I have prepared the query to retrieve the Journal Approval Action History from Workflow tables. Below is the Query. This is the Form Personalization. In the Journal Screen i have attached the Menu Action History and placed this query for form personalization.
Now the problem is in GL_JE_BATCHES i have 80 thousand records. In the query which i have written i am getting only 1000 records. How can i achieve all the records.

Can any one please suggest me how to proceed on this issue ASAP?

Hi Anjan,
You can try to set the FND: View Object Max Fetch Size to a value that would allow more data to be returned. However, be aware that this can cause performance issues.

Notification Action History not showing all the approver's details.

Hi All,
I have a custom workflow which will require many approvals
A1 -> A2 -> A3 ->A4 , when the notificatoin come to A2, the action history shows the from as the sender and to as the A2.
But when it comes to A3, the old entry is not coming, getting only the current user details.
I have chekced the checkbox "expand roles" .
How to get all the old approver;s list in the action history.
Thanks,
With regards,
Kali.
OSSI.

Hi,
When the second notification is sent, that is a different one from the first, so it will have no history.
If you want the history of all the notifications in the flow, then you will need to write something to build this dynamically and include that in the notification - populate the #HISTORY attribute on the message with the history you want to include.
HTH,

Action history

Hi
1. Attaching Action history to the new timed out notification.
I am sending a approval notification to the User(A), User(A) reassign notification to next User(B).Now User(B) will get notification having Action history. Notification also has Timeout functionality.
Once the timeout occurs a notification is resend to the same user(B), but this time we loose the old action history, as after timeout a new notification is sent.
do we have any faculty to include old action history to the new timed out notification.
Now if user B does not respond within 30 min, Notification will get timed out and I am again sending a new notification to the User(B) , Now User(B) should also see the Old action history, the history that was available into the notification before timed out happened.
2. REASSIGNMENT
While reassignment, is it possible to send a read-only copy of same mail to the another user, other than the Recipient.
The requirement is, to acknowledge the originator of the mail to keep in loop for every reassignment, to track the the movement to the notification been reassigned.
As this is urgent requirement, requesting you all to respond to this mail ASAP.
Warm Regds
Arvind

Hi,
I´m quite sure you need to edit WF HTML procedures to do that.
1. You need to create an atributte in your oracle workflow to save your history. Everytime you click reassign button, you save your history there. Then, when a timeout occurs, you read this atributte and compose your message.
2. Also you need to create an atributte to save the originator of the message. Then alter WF HTML scripts to read this atribute and send a notification for the originator of the message everytime somebody clicks "reassign button".
I know I´ve explained it shortlly, but my OWF is down and I can´t test it know to help you better.
I hope its in time,

How to tell if column value has changed for use in workflow actions

Hello,
I am using Sharepoint 2010 and for one of my Lists, I am using a general list workflow. What I need to be able to do is determine if a column value has change (say an "Assigned To" field) because I only want to take some action if that particular
value has changed. I want to be able to have a workflow action that would be something like:
If Current Item: Assigned To not equals [OLD VALUE]
I have found some web searches that talk about creating a duplicate list or duplicate (but hidden) column but that doesn't seem to be the way to go. I have document versioning set but don't if that can be used to help with this. One possible
thought (although I haven't tried it to see if it works) is to create local variables and have the values in the variables be the "old value". Just not sure if there is a best practices for doing this.
Thanks for any thoughts - Peter

Helen,
Not sure I fully understand your goal. We don't use "tasks" at all but if you are looking to have your workflow check certain valus and be able to send email messages to people based on whatever, then you can certainly do that (as long as your Sharepoint
has the email setup. We do this for alot of workflow tasks.
So, in the workflow you can have a blanket statement like what I previously listed:
if Current Item:hiddenStatus not equals Current Item:Status
    .... do something
or you can do something like:
if Current Item:hiddenStatus equals "In-Progress"
    .... do something
Else if Current Item:hiddenStatus equals "Completed"
    .... do something
or combine the two and do nested "if" statements. Then you add an email statement wherever you need it like:
if Current Item:hiddenStatus equals "Completed"
   then email "these users"
To add the email part, just type in "email" on the line where you want to add a statment. There is only one option to choose from. That will display the line "then email these users".   The "these users" will be a link. When you
click it you will get a popup to add the email info. We typically will send the email to a user (or users) that are already listed in one of the PeoplePicker fields. On the email form, you can type in your own text, designate that a value is based
on a column value (like our PeoplePicker), designate that a value is based on a workflow variable, add a link to the current item, etc. To get to these options you will click the button to the right of the fields or use the "Add or Change Lookup" button
in the bottom-left for the text area. There is alot you can set in the mail.
Does this help answer your question?

"Unable to load workflow actions from server. Please contact your server."

I get the following error message when I want to create or open a workflow in SharePoint Designer 2007
"unable to load workflow actions from server. Please contact your server
administrator."
I don't receive this error as a site collection administrator, but one of my contributors gets the error.

What Chris mentioned is kind of abnormal situation described in
http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/sharepointdesigner/HA102379121033.aspx#20.
However, normally, you won’t be able to create SPD workflow if you only have Contribute permission level. I give the user Design permission level then he can
create SPD workflow.
There are other factors affecting permission to create SPD workflow:
1.
According to
http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/sharepointdesigner/HA101005871033.aspx#4
, the SPD workflows are stored in a site-level hidden document library called Workflows. You should make sure that user have permission in this document library so that the created workflow can be saved successfully.
http://blogs.msdn.com/sharepointdesigner/archive/2008/11/25/locking-down-sharepoint-designer.aspx
describe the method to manage permission for this hidden Workflows document library: open the site in SharePoint Designer >> right-click the Workflows library >> click Properties >> click the Security tab >> click the link “Manage
permissions using the browser”
2.
SharePoint Designer contributor setting (http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/sharepointdesigner/HA101174691033.aspx
) can also block the user from being able to create workflows.

Approval status of PR is in process, but action history show 'Approve'

Dear all,
I am on EBS 11.5.10.2 and encountered a problem during the approval process of PR.
The approval hierarchy with PR is planner -> approver1 -> approver2,
and approver2 is the final approver.
Everything of the approval process is OK except that the action performed
by approver1 shown in Action History is 'Approve', but not the appropriate
'Forword'.
Sequence Performed By Action Approval Status
0 planner Submit
1 planner Forward In Process
2 approver1 Approve In Process <---- Here the 'Approve' action should be shown as 'Forward'
3 approver2 Approve Approved
Any ideas will be greatly appreciated!

Henry Huang

For requisitions the action taken by the approver is recorded. If they click on Approve, the same is recorded in action history.Shivaraj, for POs with the similar position hierarchy, if the approve1 click on Approve, action history does show 'Forward'.
Do you mean the action taken by the approver1 is different between Requisitions and POs?

Desinger Workflow 2010: Unable to load workflow actions from the server. Please contact your server administrator?

Hello,
I am facing a problem from last some days..
When I am trying to open/create/update workflows from Designer 2010, then designer giving me an error "Unable to load workflow actions from the server. Please contact your server administrator".
I researched on internet for this error and found some possible reason like
Login user Permission issue
Error in custom actions
So that I checked for permission for login user, but it has administrator rights. and I tried to open workflow by removing custom activity code, but still exist.
also if I tried to create/update workflow for another site on same server then it works without any problem.
Can anybody please help me?
Many thanks,

The list of workflow actions on the server references an assembly that does not exist

Hi,
This issue has been discussed many times in this forum , the reason why I am posting is I tried the resolution steps but I dont see any luck.
I am getting the below message from the SharePoint designer 2007 when I am trying to modify a workflow
"This list of workflow actions on the server references an assembly that does not exist. Some actions will not be available. The assembly strong name is Microsoft.SharePoint.WorkflowActions, Version=12.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=71e9bce111e9429c.
Contact your server administrator for more information."
#1 : One of the post says "Normally you would see that error because someone has extended the Workflow actions available in SPD with a custom action developed in Visual Studio. These custom actions are loaded when your workstation reads the WSS.ACTIONS
file on the server. The file is located in the 12 hive under Template\1033\workflow. Your WSS.Actions file contains a reference to a custom action .dll which is not available on the server."
I opened the WSS.Actions file in notepad, I dont see any line with *.dll in it. Am I missing something?
#2: Another post says "The solution I discovered was that the server running my SharePoint Services was not up to .NET 3.0. As soon as I updated to .NET 3.0 everything worked.I had made sure the machine running SharePoint Designer was updated, but
had missed the SHarePoint Services server."
The server is already updated to .Net 3.0.
#3: I went to the %System Drive%\Documents and Settings\Local Settings\ApplicationData\Microsoft\SharePointDesigner.
Deleted the ProxyAssemblyCache folder but no luck.
Just checking if any one was able to resolve this issue by following any of the solution other than the above mentioned ones.
Thanks,
Cutloo

    I have the similar issue with my custom work flow. I have searched the whole day for the solution but no success, then at last a simple track works for me. Please try this if any one faces such issue.
Basically the assembly that we have define in the ACTIONS file dose not exists on the server, because of two reasons, either we have given the wrong assembly name (in our case the namespace name inside our solution) or the PublicKeyToken may differ from the
original assembly, that are deployed in GAC.
    So cross check both of these, in my case the assembly name was fine,
<Action
    Name="Move Item to Another List and Send Email"
    ClassName="MyAssemblyName.Classname"
    Assembly="MyAssemblyName,Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=4053d1fde8a1c781"
    AppliesTo="all"
    Category="Email actions">
But the problem was in the 'PublicKeyToken', so i double click on the feature inside my solution,then in the bottom i have clicked on the manifest tab to check the entries.
<Feature xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/sharepoint/" Title="MyAssemblyName Feature1" Id="f7f1bda0-5f65-40f1-a705-f6f15a41da3a" ReceiverAssembly="MyAssemblyName, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=0c32dbb769ed64b5"
ReceiverClass="MyAssemblyName.Features.Feature1.Feature1EventReceiver" Scope="WebApplication"></Feature>
Here i got the actual PublicKeyToken for my assembly (0c32dbb769ed64b5), i have replaced this number inside ACTIONS file, deploy the soultion, reset IIS.
It works for me,

Workflow Action: Trouble adding a new line in "Description" field.

Hi folks. I'm really having a difficult time with this one and it seems so simple...
I am struggling with how to get a field update action to enter a line break in a note field. I've tried "\n", "\n\r", "chr(13)", "chr(10)", "<br>" and so on.... it just puts the text of what I use into the Description.
Here's the simplified workflow action...
[<NextStep>] + "\ \n" + PRE('<Description>')
What it's supposed to do.. is every time someone updates the field [<NextStep>], I want to replace the contents of the description field with the new value for nextstep (plus a new line) and then followed by everything that was in the description field previously. This way I have a running log in the description field.
Idealy it should put:
Today() + ": " + [<NextStep>] + <line break> + PRE('<Description>')
but when I add the Today() it ignores everything that follows. I'm not as worried about that as I am about the inablity to put in the line beak. Please help!!!
Thanks!
Edited by: ThinkGadget on May 11, 2009 9:13 AM because the forum interpreted the "\\n"
Edited by: ThinkGadget on May 11, 2009 9:15 AM (I put a space between the two back slashes so that the forum doesn't interpret it as a new line)

I had used the "\\n" in my expressions to add a new line in the Description field. Only issue is also add a \ to the end of line but that was acceptable in my case. We are on OOD R16.

To include po and pr action history

hi
i have created this query
as i need report with the followiing columns
po# description line_num pr_Action_history(ie action date ,action_code) po# po_action_history(po_actioncode,po_action_date)
SELECT PORH.SEGMENT1 pr#,PORH.DESCRIPTION,PORL.LINE_NUM,poha.segment1 po# FROM PO_REQUISITION_HEADERS_ALL PORH,po_requisition_lines_all PORL,PO_REQ_DISTRIBUTIONS_ALL prda

AND poha.PO_HEADER_ID= poda.PO_HEADER_ID
AND prda.REQUISITION_LINE_ID = porl.REQUISITION_LINE_ID
AND PORH.requisition_header_id=PORL.requisition_header_id AND PORH.SEGMENT1='4078' is there any way i can include action history for pr as well as po too? i understand that actio_history is taken from po_action_history and depending on the values passed as object_id(column in action_history) we can see either po action history or pr action history
can someone help me with the above query so that action history of both po and pr can be viewed
thanking in advance
Edited by: makdutakdu on May 23, 2010 2:51 PM

Hi,
PO_ACTION_HISTORY contains history for both requisitions and standard POs. If you want to show POs history, just restrict by object_type_code = 'PO' and link object_id with po_headers_all.po_header_id. If you want to show requisition history, restrict by object_type_code = 'REQUISITION' and link object_id with po_requisition_headers_all.requisition_header_id.
Hope it helps.

Why the PO action history is not updating when i perform the vacation rules

Hi,
Can any one explain why the action history is not updating when performed the vacation rules using the below example
Example: A >B>C>D are in the approval hierarchy here I have defined the vacation rules by login to the user C here I selected the item type as “All” and delegated to D.
Now the buyer “A” has sent the document for approval. The user “B” can successfully reserve funds and approved the document. Now the document is automatically delegated to D. Here D can open the document from open notifications and approved the document. Now when I checked the Action history here I cannot find the performed name D who has actually approved the document.
Note:we are using the 11.5.10.2 version.
The Action History in the following manner
Seq Action Performed By
================================
4 Approve C
3 Forward B
2 Reserved B
1 Forward A
0 Submit A
From the above action history why the user D name is not showing. Can any one let me know ASAP?
Regards,
Keivn.
Edited by: user10960960 on May 5, 2009 3:36 AM

When you set up the vacation rule, if you simply delegate the ownership to D, then C retains the ownership and the approval occurs with C's limits. And hence D is treated as the approver.
If you transfer the ownership, then C is out of the picture. The notification goes to D and when he/she approves, D's limits kick in and he will be seen as approver.
Hope this helps,
Sandeep Gandhi
