Variable in User Decision Description

I am displaying the 4 variables with their Names & values in the User Decision description. ( Copied the stnd task and played around ).
Now if the variable has value then only we need to display its corresponding decription.
For this i have done like IF &V1& IS NOT INITIAL.
User Name = &v1&.
ENDIF.
But i am displaying the User Name even the &V1& is not set.

Hello,
Try removing everything else (save it, of course) and just getting that one statement to work.
It could be a missing ENDIF elsewhere.
Also try:
IF NOT &V1& = '' (no space between the single quotes)
and
IF NOT &V1& = ' ' (one space between the single quotes)
Also, in the task description there is no need for a period after the IF statement and the ENDIF. Try without.
When you get the solution, please say what it was.

Container variables in User decision Step in BPM

Hello,
I am using User decision Step in BPM.
When i use only text in "Title for Display" the BPM is activated successfully and Status in SXI_CACHE also shows 0.
If I use container variables in "Title for Display" the BPM is activated successfully but status in SXI_CACHE shows 99.
It shows the below error
"Problem updating an integration process with object ID 073AF2C620F43E839B2903344DEE29BB. Symbol 'CE/KO' expected at position 1 in expression ''
Please suggest.
Thanks,
Shabari

Hi Shabari, did you follow the steps for declaration of variables as in [SAP help for user decisions|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nwpi71/helpdata/en/42/c2a19fb4511d65e10000000a1553f6/content.htm]? How did you define your variable?
Maybe discussion [in this thread|BPM activation Error in SXI_cache; can help, it is unanswered though.

User Decision & Form

With a requirement, it is required to display a lot of information in the 'User Decision' ( in the area of Task Description). This means, this description will have to be displayed to help the user know the information about the document which he will require to approve.
As there are huge amount of information to be displayed in here - so I may not be able to use the task description (may be messy, and if a new field is to be added they might have to change the task description).
Question is? How to design a program & its module pool screen to be added to user decision in order to show the screen in the 'User Decision' description. I know by using the function module I will be able to show the logo's. (I see a program & screen option in the same tab).
If there are some examples - please share them too. Thanks

There are different ways you can accomplish this. One way is to create a task that displays the data you want first (for example a task to call MB01). Insert this task before the user decision task. If both tasks have the same agent, the second task will immediately be displayed if the previous task has the "confirm end of processing" flag set.

Workflow user decision problem

Hi experts!
I've got a problem on using the user decision in workflow.
i have a workflow with a user decision that has 3 user decision options (basketball, volleyball, and badminton)
Here is the problem:
After i selected one of them and flagged them as finished.
I'd like to loop again with that user decision but the decision options now will be the remaining two and the other one will not be displayed
ex:
BEGINNING
options:
     basketball (selected)
     volleyball
     badminton
AFTER LOOP
options:
     volleyball
     badminton
Here's the question:
<b> how will i do that? </b>
i would like to make a workflow with using only one user decision. Based on my thinking i would come up with so many user decisions if i randomly select the decision options.
Thanks in advance.
<i>Points will be given for any answers that would come up with an idea..</i>

There is an user exit for customizing our work items but I am afraid that will it be applicable to your requirement. I tried your scenario to pass variables to the user decision, but i failed. Experts please share your views. Is it possible to pass variables to user decisions using user exits?

Description changes not reflecting in User Decision step

Hi,
I am displaying the ECM (cc01) description in the workflow user decision step. In this user decision step I do have three options
    1. Changes completed (to move the ECM to next level)
    2. Edit ECM (Calls ECM n change mode CC02)
    3. Cance (standard)
If I choose Edit ECM, and change the description in the ECM and come back to the user decision step, it still shows the older description some cases. In some cases I am getting the updated description in user decision step. In Edit ECM step I am using Z method which is the copy the standard BO method Edit_synchron of ECM to call the transaction CC02.
Z method does not contain any importing or exporting parameters. Also in the workflow<->Task binding I bound ECM <-> _WF_Object_ID.
Thanks,
Muruganantham

2 case:
1.) Description not changing: How the description get populated in user decision step ? Is it some varibale get populated based on select query ?
2.) Description get changed: Please check the new workflow instance get created and you can only see changed text in new instance. Already triggered workflow will not show the changed value.
Please check the worklow design, whether its creating new workflow instance on every change in ECM ?

ABAP OO & Custom made user decisions...

Hi,
I've been playing with ABAP OO for a little while now, but keep encountering the following problem. I tried to look for the answer here, but could find it.
Often I make a copy of the standard user decision task TS00008267. Then I can create my own text in there. However, normally I can use an attribute of a BOR-object as a variable here via the 'Expression' button, but I can't use the attribute of a class here!
I get the message: "Variable &ZEMPLOYEE.GET.NUMBER& exists in description text Task description, but does not exist in the container."
Has anyone encountered this problem too and maybe has some tips for me? The workaround I use now is by defining container elements in the task for every variable I want to use and pass the value via the binding. This is not really desirable of course.
Any tips of help are welcome!
Regards,
Erik

Hi Erik,
Is the attribute you want to use in the text a public one? I think it needs to be if you want to use it.

Martin

Container Operation step in User Decision

Hi,
I have used one set container operation step in one of the user decision task. But it seems it is not working inside the user decision step.
I have checked the SWI1 log as well, but it is bypassing it.(screen shot attached from Workflow and SWI1).
Please sugegst that can we use container operation step inside the user decision task.
SWI1 log as well ( Not setting the variabl)e
Regads,
Priyanka

Hi,
check if in the workflow definition you mention if this step should be shown in the log or not. Also make sure using the technical details option in the workflow log that indeed the container operation was executed or not.
If everything seems correct, but still in execution it skips something, then your workflow definition might be corrupt, either fix it by deleting the step in development, saving it and then recreating it. Or if it was corrupted after transport you could try your luck with function module SWD_REPLICATE_FROM_9999.
Kind regards, Rob Dielemans

Issue in User decision title in Email Notification

Hi,
We have used extended notification to send email notifications for PR, in User decision step I have used the decision title as "Purchase Requisition Decision for &". But when we schedule the SWN_SELSEN as a background job, in SOST email subject is not same as the User decision step title it is as "New work items in your Workflow inbox".
Could you please let me know how to get the description same as User decision step.
Thanks,
Sriram.

Hi Sriram,
Please check General settigns of SWNCONFIG. Here check eliment 'SUBJECT_WF_INBOX'. Here its default value is NASWN070, which is nothing but the message of SWN class. Chcek Message No 70 of SWN class which states that ''New work items in your Workflow inbox'' which you are getting currently. Please provide your message instead of the standard one.
Hope this will solve your problem.

Smit

Solutions for User Decision step- Upon reject, auto-popup text for reason

Execute user Decision workitem, when user click reject button, open text for rejection reason within the workitem.
Ideally, for the auto-pop text , we need a descriptive header and user can enter reject reason. Text must be added before the workitem can be saved.
Any thoughts.
Thanks a lot.

yes, on the SOFM.Create-Task use a dataflow from the WIOBJECT_ID => (append table) ADHOCOBJECTS
This will popuplate this rejection to the hyperlink-section of the workflow.
You may also activate the outcome-even "user-cancelled" in the workflow definition (or by copying the coding to your own method that could do it) and loop around back to the user decision if he cancels the document create (which I found out is sometimes a problem for the users).
I also have made the experience that it is quite the same effort and more convenient if you design a complete user-driven screen. Then you have full control of that issue. I always use a small dialog box with a textEdit-Control where the users have to enter their rejection reason.
I then create my own ZWFNOTE-Object and append this to the ADHOCOBJECT. This usually works very fine.
with kind regards,
Florin

Dear Ramesh,
Need your help!
While creating travel expense request from Enterprise Portal, travelers create few attachments [pdf/doc/xms/txt] and then save the travel expense reports.
A workflow then gets triggered and this travel expense report reached the SAP Inboxes of the checkers [in the finance department].
The issue here is that these checkers do not have access to enterprise portal and they expect to see the attachments [that the traveler has created via the portal] via corresponding work items in their SAP Inboxes u2013 which currently is not happening!
I checked the trip transaction that got created [in the backend / in SAP] and found the u2018attachment listu2019 menu option in GOS being disabled [may be because there is not even one attachment that has come to the backend!]
What needs to be done so that the attachments can even be viewed from the backend / from SAP Inbox? Does this involve coding?
Please suggest!

User decision step execution from UWL

Hi,
     I copied the standard user decision step and added my own text in that task. My requirement is i have to execute that step from UWL . i need to configure this task in SWFVISU, so that it will appear in UWL. My question is what are the parameters i need to maintain in swfvisu TXn . because this is not a webdynpro application or Bsp Application.

Please check this SAP help [document|http://help.sap.com/erp2005_ehp_04/helpdata/EN/44/b7047434d91578e10000000a114a6b/content.htm]

Workflow: User Decision Activity doesn't work

friends,
URGENT!!!
I've created a User Decision Activity but it doesn't work.
It sends a message to SBWP but there the user hit APROVE OR REJECT, and instead it work, it simply show another screen with only a button labelad "Cancel and keep work item in inblox".
It simplily doesn't folow.
I've created an method that executes a standard function 'EDITOR_TABLE' that call a screen to the user put a description text for the rejection. It's market 'Advance with dialog'.
thanks

Hi,
Your patch level seems to be OK.
pls. try the declaration as 'Data: uid like syst-uname' or you could try directly assigning the sy-uname.
Try to debug and see the content of the sy-uname, when it hits this code.

User decision title reads: "Decision"

Hi all,
I am having a weird problem. I made a custom user decision step so I could add some container elements in the description. This all works very nicely. But when the decision is executed the title at the top of the screen reads: "Decision" instead of the title of the work item which also uses some container elements. The title is shown correctly in the BWP. Does anybody know what I did wrong here? It is working correctly for another task I created similarly.
I am on SAP ECC 6.0.
Thanks in advance for the help!
Gert.

Hi Dheepak,
thanks for the reply. You seem to be pointing in the right direction. Even though the bindings are all correct, the title comes up correctly in the BWP, there is a problem with them.
The decision step is called inside a parallel part of the workflow and I am using a field from the table entry that this step is looping on. In debugging I now found that it breaks on this container element: &_LT_DIFFERENCES_LINE.FIELDNAME&. The problem is that the method that builds the title only has the main workflow's container and not the elements local to the parallel part, like LTDIFFERENCES_LINE. I have been thinking about a workaround but cannot not think of one that will work.
I'll see if I can update the thread title to add this info.
Thanks,
Gert.

Remove optinos in user decision task dinamically

Hi all,
I have an user decision task wich have several options. I want to remove (or deactivate) some of these options dinamically or under some conditions...
Do you know how can i do it?
May be it's possible to do with a program exit but i don't find any method in the class for do that.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
Finally, I had to do it. I put the steps in case anyone is interested:
- Create a Decision Task in workflow builder. Replace the Task used in Control tab by a custom one. You need to create a copy of the standard task 00008267. In my case I've created the task 99000001.
- The FM to get the options and texts is SWU_GET_DECISION_TEXT_TITLE. We need to create an enhancement point at the end of this FM. I've created a method in a custom class to embed all my code:
TRY.
CALL METHOD zcl_im_wf_dec_task=>zz_mod_decision_task
    EXPORTING
      wiid             = wiid
    changing
      ct_decision_text = decision_text[].
CATCH cx_root.
ENDTRY.
- This method has the following parameters:
WIID                     TYPE SWW_WIID
CT_DECISION_TEXT     TYPE ANY TABLE
With the following code you can change the description of the options you want or delete some options dinamically:
DATA: l_wi_handle TYPE REF TO if_swf_run_wim_internal,
      lo_wi_dialog TYPE REF TO cl_swf_run_wim_dialog,
      lo_container TYPE REF TO if_swf_cnt_container,
      ls_wi_head   TYPE sww_wihead,
      lv_key       TYPE sww_wi2obj-instid,
      lv_bstyp     TYPE ebstyp.
FIELD-SYMBOLS: <ls> TYPE ANY.
* Obtain the header:
TRY.
    CALL METHOD cl_swf_run_wim_factory=>find_by_wiid
      EXPORTING
        im_wiid     = wiid
      RECEIVING
        re_instance = l_wi_handle.
    lo_wi_dialog ?= l_wi_handle.
    ls_wi_head = lo_wi_dialog->if_swf_run_wim_internal~m_sww_wihead.
CATCH cx_swf_run_wim .
CATCH cx_root.
ENDTRY.
* Read the container (if you want...):
TRY.
    CALL METHOD lo_wi_dialog->if_swf_run_wim_wfm~get_wi_container
      RECEIVING
        re_container = lo_container.
CATCH cx_swf_run_wim .
ENDTRY.
* Read the Key:
SELECT SINGLE instid INTO lv_key
FROM sww_wi2obj
WHERE top_wi_id EQ ls_wi_head-top_wi_id.
* In this example is a workflow for PO;
SELECT SINGLE bstyp INTO lv_bstyp
FROM ekko WHERE ebeln EQ lv_key.
* Depending on the Task;
CASE ls_wi_head-wi_rh_task.
* Authorize
WHEN 'TS99000001'.
    LOOP AT ct_decision_text ASSIGNING <ls>.
*       The first 4 characters are the number of the option.
*       The following characters are the description.
*       Delete an option;
      IF <ls>(4) EQ '0001' AND lv_bstyp EQ 'F'.
        DELETE ct_decision_text INDEX sy-tabix.
        CONTINUE.
      ENDIF.
*       Change the description:
      IF <ls>(4) EQ '0002'.
        IF lv_bstyp EQ 'K'.
          <ls>+4 = 'Authorize'.
        ELSE.
          <ls>+4 = 'Continue with the process'.
        ENDIF.
      ENDIF.
    ENDLOOP.
ENDCASE.
