URL in E-mail created from Workflow

Hi All,
Problem :
I am trying to send an e-mail notification to a user.
2 requirements .
1 - mails must got to MS Outlook inbox,
2 - mails must have a hyperlink.
The mails are going to the Outlook inbox, however the mail is being despatched in TXT format,thereby the hyperlink appears as plain text.
Analysis
Checked Workflow,identified mails are being sent in RAW format.
Checked SCOT,found RAW format is converted to TXT format.
Tried to find any coversion of RAW to HTM but unfortunately there is no option of HTM.
Linkin

If you were to put the URL in the message body without the HTML tags, the E-mail application should recognize it as such and display it as a hyperlink(at least that is what my Lotus Notes does).
If it is a Send Mail Step, you can edit the task description as follows to be able to send HTML tags.
Go to the Task description Change screen.
Slect Menu option Goto->Change Editor. This will display the old SAP Script line editor.
Mark the line with the HTML tag for the URL as a comment line by selecting the "/*" for the Format.
Save.
There are certain size limitations for the length of the URL. Please see OSS Note #375669
SCOT configuration is same as yours for RAW.
Cheers,
Ramki Maley.

Configure URL for Course Review Page from Workflow

We need to provide a notification to the course creator that he needs to correct some details of the course.
For this we want to provide a URL in the notification that will the take the course creator to the course review page.
How to configure the workflow attribute for this ?
In my workflow message, I created an attribute of type URL and hardcoded it as follows :
JSP:/OA_HTML/OA.jsp?page=/oracle/apps/ota/admin/catalog/webui/ViewActivityVersionPG&addBreadCrumb=Y&function_id=1023324&resp_id=25182&resp_appl_id=810&security_group_id=0&lang_code=US&OAPB=OTA_PRODUCT_BRANDING&pCatUsgId=3856&pParentCategoryUsageId=842&pActivityVersionId=79934
But this is causing the error : you dont have enough previleges to view the page.
I want the user to navigate to the course review page upon clicking this hyperlink:
US Learning Management Administrator ... catalog administration  focus on (course category)  click on the details button for course
Does anyone know what mistake I am making here.
Thanks

We have a standard button at tab Edit which is 'Workflow' - Process Clarrfication
case in workflow. Can you please explain how to trigger this standard workflow?
In the button call this FM 'SAP_WAPI_CREATE_EVENT', so once you click that button this FM will execute and Event will trigger. Check this [Link|https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/e038cc2d-0cde-2a10-e28e-f50025578112].

Dragging url from Safari to Mail creates web shortcut attachment

I was accustomed to dragging the url from Safari's address bar into an open mail and getting a page title and url text inserted.
This was incredibly useful for sending links of pages to mailing lists in response to questions.
Now in Leopard, dragging the url from Safari's address bar to an open mail creates a web shortcut attachment.
I can see this might be useful , but in a plain text email to a mailing list it's completely useless as it gets stripped my the mailing list software.
now I have to copy and paste the url - a lot more effort and I don't get the page title anymore that way.
Please tell me there's a hidden preference setting that can let me have the old way back...
this tiny little thing is marring my otherwise happy upgrade to 10.5
I just checked this action in my virgin Tiger install on my Mac Mini and dragging from Safari to Mail, gets a plain text url, but no page title, so maybe I had some helper or other adding that little bit...
anyway, I want to drag urls to mail and get text not attachments - can anyone help me?
thanks

I'm used to doing command-L to select the address bar, so to do command-L, command-C, click in the mail message, and hit command-V doesn't seem like much work. But that's me. I also found that if I drag a URL from the address bar it does put the link in without a web shortcut. But if I wanted to send a link in an email, I'd just hit shift-command-i, which opens a new mail with the link in it.
Just some thoughts....

Sending Mail from workflow or updating container elements

Dear friends,
I'm new to work flow.
My requirement: send mail from workflow to a user after dead line is missed I do not want to use messages in 'Latest end' tab. I want to send mail.
The mail id of the user is determined in the previous step using a FM. How do I use this mail id to send the mail. I thought of using 'Rule' option in 'Send Mail' (and use same FM)but thats not possible. In that case how do I pass the mail id value to the WF container from the FM?
I also tried this idea:
created a task with BOR object SELFITEM, method 'SENDTASKDESCRIPTION' .
*in an activity step used this task and filled the 'Rule' option in notification tab appropriately
*in this case the WF goes into an error '.....error executing 'sendtaskdescription' .....'
*i would prefer using the activity step because, the mail has to be sent after a delay
Is there any other simple method to do this?
My problem would be solved even if someone can show me how to transfer values from a FM into a WF container.
Can someone please explain?

How to create a workflow for e-mail adrress entered in a particular record?

HI Experts,
I have to create a workflow in which a mail is triggered to the e-mail ID entered for the record type "Complaint".
Like, if there is a field called as "E-mail ID of customer" in the Complaint page layout and the user creates a complaint and a workflow is created for WNRS the mail should be triggered to the e-mail address which is mentioned in the field "E-mail ID of customer".
I have tried by using Relative user on record but there is no Option to select that kiind of a field.
If any one can help.
Thanks in anicipation.

You need to choose "Specific Email Address" and over there you can select the field from the Complaint.

URL in outlook mails (Workflow)

Hi Experts,
I am using the extended notification for my customized user decision task to send mails in outlook. There are two outcomes for the user decision task approve and reject and getting two links in the outlook also. Its fine as required.
But the problem is, I am having one URL in the task description of user decision task. I am getting the same link in outlook as a normal text format not hypertext.
It would be great, if you could throw some light on how to get the URL in outlook mail through extended notification of workflow.
PS: I have tested same URL in send mail task and got the mail in outlook as hyperlink format.
Thanks in advance.
Best Regards,
Saravanan.

Hi Martin,
Thanks a lot your reply.
I am inserting the link as <a href="http://www.google.com">http://www.google.com</a>
I have checked the note 559234 also. I sent the same link to my outlook mail by using the 'send mail task' and got as a link <a href="http://www.google.com">http://www.google.com</a>
If I try to send the same link in the task description of user decision task to my outlook, i am getting the link plain text 'http://www.google.com' not in hypertext format as above.
My question : Is there any way to send the URL in the task decription to outlook mail as hyper text format?
In my task description, i have given the URL in the below format.
&URL_ELEMENT##&
This URL_ELEMENT is a multiline container and value of this variable passed from previous step ' Set container element' as http://www.google.com
Please help on this regard.
Thanks in advance.

E-mail out of Workflow from UWL over federated portals

Hello all,
We want to create an e-mail, containing a link to the portal. Is there a possible way for constructing the hyperlink since we are using the federated portal approach? (means this E-mail coming from the workflow of the producer Portal and should be send to the consumer Portal). As a result the link is dynamic and not static. Nevertheless the link should function in any of both possible cases (producer AND consumer portal).
Example for business case: User is signed on in Consumer portal but owns role/iView from ESS/MSS in producer portal over federated portal approach. The producer portal creates an e-mail and the hyperlink contained in it has to link to the task/UWL in the producer portal in spite of the fact that the user only owns direct log in in the consumer portal.
The E-Mail itself might be produced via an e-mail task in Workflow Builder or by using the function module SO_NEW_DOCUMENT_SEND_API1. The hyperlink should then be part of the parameter OBJECT_CONTENT of this function module.
Have anybody a good tip / answer for this ??
Thx
Mario

At this stage I run the workflow which reads the owner of the regarding customer and assign the email to this owner.(this step is working fine as expected). This workflow is written on E-mail entity and fires on Regarding field change of the email record.
Problem is, our business wants this email to be automatically removed from the support queue so that it should only sit in the newly assigned owner's queue (at the moment they are manually remove it from support queue.)
If this is where you are creating a queue item which is assigned to your support queue? If yes, you can assign this queue item to the owner of the record rather.

Hi,
=> To get the deadline worked via programming, you can write your own logic. In current case,
1. Create a custom function, having proper input and output parameters like End Time to wait if in case you have maximum of 2 days of wait.
The total wait time is calculated from the Endtime, which is input to function module. From the Endtime, the start date and end date are calculated and then the difference between the two dates is counted as total wait time.
Here at the most 2 days of wait time is calculated.
* Local parameters
DATA: LV_UTCSTART TYPE /SDF/CMO_TSTMP,
 LV_UTCEND TYPE /SDF/CMO_TSTMP,
 LV_SECOND TYPE /SDF/CMO_SEC,
 LV_ENDDATE TYPE SY-DATUM,
 LV_STR TYPE STRING.
IF ENDTIME >= SY-UZEIT AND ENDTIME <= '235959'.
* Today's date
 LV_ENDDATE = SY-DATUM.
ELSE.
* Tomorrow's date
 LV_ENDDATE = SY-DATUM + 1.
ENDIF.
* Get the Start Time for function module
CONCATENATE SY-DATUM SY-UZEIT INTO LV_STR.
MOVE LV_STR TO LV_UTCSTART.
CLEAR LV_STR.
* Get the End Time for function module
CONCATENATE LV_ENDDATE ENDTIME INTO LV_STR.
MOVE LV_STR TO LV_UTCEND.
CLEAR LV_STR.
* Get the total wait time in seconds
CALL FUNCTION '/SDF/CMO_TIME_DIFF_GET'
 EXPORTING
 UTC_START = LV_UTCSTART
 UTC_END = LV_UTCEND
 IMPORTING
 SECOND = LV_SECOND
 EXCEPTIONS
 PARAMERR = 1
 OTHERS = 2.
IF SY-SUBRC <> 0.
* MESSAGE ID SY-MSGID TYPE SY-MSGTY NUMBER SY-MSGNO
* WITH SY-MSGV1 SY-MSGV2 SY-MSGV3 SY-MSGV4.
ENDIF.
* Wait for total time
WAIT UP TO LV_SECOND SECONDS.
2. Now, create one method in the BOR object whose event triggers your workflow.
3. Use this method in an activity step in you workflow where you want to wait on some given conditions.
=> You can use the email ID which was given by earlier step in Send Mail step. Just make your email id field as Export/Import AD_SMTPADR type of parameter. In the send mail, use this Id in Email Address input.
Hope this helps your.

Sending mail from workflow

I am using 2-level approver ESS Leave workflow .I need to send mails to outlook from workflow .
I am successfully able to send mail to 1st approver AGENT_001.AGENTS , but not to 2nd approver.
But I am choosing 2nd approver through rule 00000168 .
There is no rule kind of thing in send mail step . Also if I send mail through a activity step and set it as background task , it does not allows me to choose agent through rule .
is there any other though which i can choose 2 approver and its mail id .
Points will be rewarded

Hi Sahiba,
You have to get the agent 2 before the task and put his id in task.
You can create a custom method for it or you can insert this logic into an exitisting method which is calling before the taks.
Thanks & Regards,

Edited by: Parteek Arora on May 12, 2009 10:53 AM

Hi,
In case if you don't want to send an attachment then you can use SO_NEW_DOCUMENT_SEND_API1 function module. You can also use Standard workflow templates and Standard tasks provided by SAP or can make your own after copying it from the standard task in order to send mail. You can get these standard tasks in Package SO. Go to SE80 and give package name SO then go to Business Engineering -> Business Object Types ->Workflow Standard Tasks.

Sharepoint 2013 Workflow not available on Site created from Sharepoint 2013 Foundation Solution Template

If I create a template on SharePoint 2013 Foundation, then create a site on SharePoint Enterprise (or Office/365) fully configured to support SharePoint 2013 workflows. When I access the site through SharePoint Designer 2013, and attempt to create a workflow
SharePoint 2013 Workflows are not available -- you get message that SharePoint 2013 Workflow platform is not available because it is not configured on the server. This appears to be a bug in SharePoint Designer as the 2013 Workflows are available on the team
site on the same site collection. There is no reason that a site created from a SharePoint 2013 foundation template should have this restriction.   To make matters worse if you then save that site as a template on the SharePoint 2013 Enterprise (or
Office/365) system and create a new site from the that template you get the same issue.
Anyone know a workaround/fix to this issue.   Have imported the template into Visual Studio but I can not find any way in Visual Studio to enable SharePoint 2013 workflows.   A solution that involves Visual Studio import would work fine
for me.
Earllibby

Apparently you did not read my question very carefully.   The workflow manager is configured properly on this server and for the basic Team site in this site collection the full SharePoint 2013 workflows are available in SharePoint Designer 2013.
BUT they are not available on another site in the SAME SITE COLLECTION that was created from a solution template that was created on a SharePoint Foundation server.
