User assigned to the process instance

How to get in an automatic activity in PBL code, the user assigned to the process instance.
In other words, if a previous activity is this.participant.next = Participant.findByName ( "ereyes")
in the activity that follows I want to get that user.
Can I get one?

Thanks Dan for responding.
I need help to assign the variables that tell me, mySavedParticipantName.
The design process is as follows.
1 .- Begin Activity
2 .- Begin activity is connected to an interactive activity in the PBL method with code only does a log "Interactive Activity".
3 .- interactive activity is connected to the end activity.
4 .- The interactive activity is connected by a "Due Transition" to an automatic activity.
5 .- The automatic activity has a transition to the Interactive Activity
6 .- The PBL code of automatic activity is executed when it meets the deadline of interactive activity. This code is where I need to know which user was assigned to the interactive activity.
The stage of the process is as follows.
A. - It creates a process instance.
B. - User "Dan" is assigned the process instance but NO running interactive activity.
C. - The automatic activity reaches its deadline.
D. - Runs the code of automatic activity. and there need to know the user who was assigned, ie, the user "Dan"
If the code did not execute interactive activity, how can I assign the variable mySavedParticipantName for automatic activity and has a value?.
Thank you and hope you can help me.
Greetings

Showing the process instance state.

My application for material purchasing has two phases:
1. the user fills an online request form (providing item, quantity, price, etc.) and the request is saved in the db;
2. from within the application the user starts an approval process for his request.
Still using this application, the user can later on look again at his request. Now I would like to show him the state of the process instance associated to it. The best for me would be to link, from my application, the same diagram shown by the Process List Viewer, with a green square on the activity in process.
Is it possible? If yes, how?
Thank you in advance.

Hi Harsha,
the url you provided returns the following exception:
The requested deployable object 'sap.com/tcbpemwdui~procvis' is not deployed on the server.
I don't know if it's a matter of sw level. I am using NWCE EHP1 7.11 SP04. Do I need to upgrade to 7.2?
Besides, I discovered that this url is working fine:
http://server:port/bpem/pv/index.jsp?processInstanceId=<32_char_processinstanceID>
Anyway, to have one of those url working I need to get the <32_char_processinstanceID> programmatically, but I don't know how. I searched through the documentation, but I didn't find anything.
Can you, please, help me?
I think that the functionality I am trying to privide to the end user is quite common.
After filling an online form and after submitting it for approval, the user is extremely interested in the progress and in the final outcome of the process. Such information is provided by the Process List Viewer, where he can find, for example, the process instances he has started, but it's hard to correlate one instance with the request submitted. Searching through the requests is easier and is done with relational queries; from here it would be extremely useful to link any information about the state of the process instance.
Can you please comment on this?
Thank you.

Get the Process Instance as a process variable

Hi,
is there a way on a Workflow Process to get the process instance in order to save it as a process variable (and then store it via a backend call).
In other words: I have many processes designed via NWDS Process Composer and I'd like to get the process instance ID in order to save it for faster retrieval of the process in the NWA's Manage Process application.
Thank you,
Pietro.

Does it work if the process instance is already created?
Can you give me an example?
I've put as the first step of every workflow a callback method that is executed that calls an RFC to confirm, backend-side, that the process has been created.

'End Terminate' event does not completely terminate the process instance!

Hi,
my process make use of the 'End Terminate' event, this will be used pending on the outcome of a prior task, using the 'Exclusive' gateway. This works quite well but in case of process termination some strange behavior happens.
The Enterprise Manager tell me that the process instance is in state 'Terminated' but the BPM Workspace in the 'Process Tracking' tab this instance is still in state 'Running' and if I check the WFTASK database table the process instance is still in state 'OPEN' and not 'CANCELED'.
So my question is, do I use the 'End Terminate' event the wrong way or is this a bug/feature?
Thanks in advance,
Daniel
PS: I use BPM Suite 11.1.1.5 with Feature Pack.

If we see a human task active even after termination end event is not considered a bug... I'm sorry, but i think that if every task active in the process instance is not terminated or "killed", the terminate end event is not working well. So we are talking about a bug.
If I'm wrong, what is the expected behavior of teminate end event?
Thanks in advance.

How to get the process instance key so as to retry a rejected task through api while ad provisoing?

Hi All,
How to get the process instance key so as to retry a rejected task through API while AD provisioing state?
API URL - http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E27559_01/apirefs.1112/e28159/toc.htm
Thanks

To retry a task that is in a rejected state, you use the SCH_KEY which is the task key. In OIM, all rejected tasks are listed in the OTI table. It contains all the important information about a rejected or pending task.
You can use the APIs found in the tcProvisioningOperationsIntf class to retrieve open tasks.

Change the process instance state?

Hi
i am using PAPI WS ,
the client side need to update the process instance ,as confirm or reject , so i need to update its state
How can i do such this scenario?
Thanks

Since your query is resulting the correct result when you run it directly.
It confirms that Issue is not with the Query.
Also DB adapter will do nothing and only create a equivalent XSD for your query. So this also confims that Issue is not with the DBadapter.
Kindly recheck the BPEL invocation of DB adapter and also check if anywhere in between process is getting the exception. Because All Tech adapters runs in the Main thread and will rollback automatically in case of Exceptions.
So check your BPEL process once again.

Sending the process instance to a particular participants workspace

Hi All,
I am a bit new to Aqualogic BPM. I have to design a process, the requirements of which are as follows:
The process has three roles:
- Super Users
- Supervisor
- Primary Users
Super User and Supervisor will have one participant each but the role Primary Users can have multiple participants. The process will be initiated by the Super User, which will go in the Supervisors workspace. Now, the supervisor should have the flexibilty of assigning this intance to any one of the participant in the Primary User role.
The Approach that i am following (from Supervisor onwards):
Supervisor will see a presentation where he'll have all the participants of Primary Users in a drop down, from where he can select the participant to whom he wants to assigned. Then i am assigning it to Participant.next but unfortunately when taking the log, Participant.next is coming null.
I have following queries:
- Why Participant.next is still coming null?
- Can't we assign anything to Participant.next?
- Can we direct the instance to any Participant which is from a different role (just after the role from where we are assigning)?
- Is there any other approach that can resolve this issue?
Thanks,
Akshay

Have you tried using the lower case version "participant.next" instead? Also, I think this is only available to automatic activities.

Get the process instance ID

Hey,
I've build a Process DC with subprocesses. I would like to retrieve my process instance ID, this way, when I am in a subprocess, I could still put a link to the diagram of the main process !
Does anyone have any idea how to obtain it ?
Any help would be appreciated!

Hi Lynne,
another question. Did you get the funtion "sendNotification()" running? At line push.pushSharedItem(procon, item, users); I get the error "null null"
I already checked objects and they seems to be created correct. Might there be any attribute wrong due to the fact that this example is originally for CE 7.0?

OBIEE 11g issue - same user assigned to the multiple application role

Hi All,
We are facing an issue when assigning a user to the multiple application role and applying the data level filter on the different column of the same table.
For example, we have a table Department with three columns Department No, Department name, Department location.
Application Role A1 and A2 are created.
Data Level security Applied on the application role A1: Department Name='Finance'
Data Level Security Applied on the application role A2: Department location='US'
The user "User1" is created in LDAP and is assigned to both the Application roles A1 and A2.
When logged in with "User1", none of the filters of Role A1 or A2 is applied in the report. If this user is assigned to only one role, either A1 or A2, then the filter is applied. It seems the filter will not be applied if a user belongs to multiple roles with data filter applied on the same table across these roles.
Please reply if anyone has faced similar issue.

Hi All,
Regarding the above issue to update the analysis we came up that the user if assigned to the multiple group with the data filter applied on the same column of the table is getting an *"OR"* join.
We had a requirement to get an "AND" in the query condition. Please let us know if any one faced the issue and the resolution of the same.
Regards,
Jyotshna

Raised GPEngineException when runtime get the process instance

Dear Ladies/Gentlemen:
I have developped a guided procedure process, it pop up GPEngineException when it met the code like below.
IUser userCurrentProcessorLogonID = UMFactory.getUserFactory().getUserByLogonID(wdUser.getSAPUser().getName());
IGPUserContext currentProcessor = GPContextFactory.getContextManager().createUserContext(userCurrentProcessorLogonID);
IGPProcessInstance lvProcessInt = rtm.getProcessInstance(processID,currentProcessor);
I make sure the processID and userContext as parameters passed into rtm.getProcessInstance correctly.
But I have no idea why it always pop up GPEngineException
Hopfully you can help me.
Thank you greatly.
Regards
Eric

Hi,
This could be the case if the current logged in user is not assigned the role in process or does not have the permission.
Check in the logs(NWA) for exact problem. Also share the exception message.

How I can change default user that executes the process chain in BW 3.1?

In others versions is possible the change it in: "Process chain" >>> Attributes >>> Execution User >>> tick "Current User"., but in BW 3.1 donu2019t has this option. I need to change the user default (ALEREMOTE)

M,
Equally, I canu2019t change the user using SM37 transaction, because when I schedule a process chain, occurred an error:
"Job BI_PROCESS_LOADING could not be scheduled. Termination with returncode 8
Message no. RSPC065
Diagnosis
Program RSPROCESS is to be scheduled as job BI_PROCESS_LOADING under user ALEREMOTE"

How to get the activity instance id and process id

Dear All,
For my case, my boss require the workflow program processor can be runtime assigned . After research, I found the coding example like below:
// dynamically assign a user to a role
rtm.addRuntimeDefinedUserToRole(
                  // process instance
                  prInstance,
                  // role name
                  "Processor",
                  // user that is assigned (IUser)
                  user,
                  // user context (IGPUserContext)
                  userContext);
// dynamically change the user assigned to a role for a particular task
String prInstanceID = prInstance.getID();
rtm.changeTaskProcessor(
                  // process instance ID
                  prInstanceID,
                  // activity instance ID
                  activityInstanceID,
                  // current user (IGPUserContext)
                  currentProcessorContext,
                  // new user (IGPUserContext)
                  newProcessorContext);
But I don't know how to get the process instance ID and activity instance ID before I can apply this api in my webdynpro application.
Any gentllement can give me an idea.
Thank you.

How to view the process template of the instance

Some of the workflow tools ( for ex: MQ Workflow) provide a way to see the design of the process template graphically. When an instance is created out of the process template, user can see the process stops of the instance graphically. While one could see on EM Flow trace of the instance, it only shows the steps so far completed. I am unable to know what stop I am at in the complete flow of the process map. May be I am missing something, but if you can point me in right direction how to view the stages of a process instance ( completed and yet to be completed) I rellay appreciate.

What about this?
SELECT pid
FROM v$session s, v$process p
WHERE p.addr = s.paddr
AND s.sid = :sid; -- replace :sid with your session idRegards.

Need to change the name of a GP process instance at runtime.

Is there a way to change the name of a GP process instance at runtime? I would like to change the name of the process instance to include the employee's name who initiated the process. This way when the process owner or overseer displays thier list of processes from the GP Runtime Work Center, they can tell who initiated each process.
Does anyone know how to do this?

Hi Karen,
If the users are invoking the Process from Web Dynpro or some other application using GP API, then you can try the followigI.
You can try using the startProcess() method of the IGPRuntimeManager object. It has multiple paramaters of which two(second and third) are for the userProvidedName and userProvidedDescription. You can set any name and description while invoking the GP process and the name and description should appear in the Runtime for the owners/overseers/administrators in hte list of process instances. You can add the name of the Employee while setting that name and description.
