What workflow runs during bulk action 'update only Lighthouse' is ran?

Hello,
We were trying to set some deferred tasks via our bulk action list. To do this we are running Updates, and passing a parameter that is noticed by our custom Update WF. The custom update workflow then sets the deferred tasks. This takes a while to execute however, and we have about 30,000 accounts we want to update. To try and speed it up, we were playing around with the option to update only the lighthouse account. However, when this runs, it does not fire our custom Update WF. So.... What workflow is it firing off? Can this workflow be modified?
Thanks,
Jim

Try using the BPE workflow debugger to identify the workflow that runs. Set a break point in the user form assigned to the administrator you are running the bulk action as and proceed step by step. You should get the workflow being executed.

Bulk Action - Update Only Lighthouse account

Does anybody know how to only update the internal Lighthouse account in the CSV data itself when loading via a Bulk Action when using the "Action=From Action List" drop down option?
I know you can select the "Only update the Identity system account" check box on the screen, but would like a way to add it to the CSV data as a backup in case the check box is accidentally left unchecked.
The documentation says to use the "waveset.resources" column, but if I set the data to "Lighthouse", it throws the following error. I've tried a few other values also, but none have worked.
com.waveset.exception.ItemNotFound: Resource:Lighthouse
=======================================
Options chosen on the Launch Bulk Actions page:
=======================================
Action = From Action List
Check boxes = All unchecked
Correlation Rule = User Name Matches AccountId
Get Action List From = File
*All others set to the default
==========
Data Format:
==========
command,user,accounts[Lighthouse].adminRoles,waveset.resources
===========
Sample Data:

Update,10000009,|Remove|Helpdesk Admin,Lighthouse
Thanks.

just remove waveset.resources, and Lighthouse from it....
It must work...
Thanks

Bulk Actions - Update not working

Hi -
If I try to run an update through Bulk Actions the resource fields are not getting updated
i.e.
command,user,accounts[Blah].lastname
CreateOrUpdate,AAC259,Bloggs
This doesn't update the resource, and it doesn't appear in the updates section of the view when debugging.
We're running IDM7 - anyone know what's causing this?
Cheers
--Calum

I belive you should have to have a reosurce mapped in your commands.
Command,global.firstname,waveset.resources,.....
CreateOrUpdate,myfirstname,myResourceName

Interaction with Bulk Action Task

We are tyring to provide a "cleaner" interface for our customer when using bulk actions. Does anyone know how to interact directly with the Task that runs the bulk actions? I've looked in the repository thru the BPE and it's not selectable. Thanks!

Ok, so here's the deal:
If the command is Create, then use "password.password".
If the command is Update, then use "global.password" (or "accounts[Lighthouse].password" if only IDM resource password is to be updated).
It would have been nice to have only one reference for all actions, but I tested this and this is the way it is..

Snow leopard server for net boot and software updates only what needs to be running to use it?

Snow leopard server for net boot and software updates only what needs to be running to have it work right?

Netboot and Software Update, at its simplest. Mac OS X Server also expects to have functional IP networking and DNS services (somewhere) on the LAN (and if you're behind a NAT gateway, then the DNS server(s) are on your LAN and not out at your ISP), or things get weird. SUS (usually) works out of the box, outside of cases where there's an outbound firewall. Netboot can be more effort to setup, in terms of what you're loading into the clients.

How to get bulk action to update resource

I have to update some users data in a particular resource. I'm attempting to add a location to their user object, the resource and their waveset info via a bulk action script (which I have very little experience with). Currently I have it set up so the bulk action starts in a form which calls a rule and then a workflow. I've been able to get it to update the user object and the waveset data, but I can't get it to write to the resource. (In this case the resource is a simulated resource - a file on the file system). I've tried everything I can think of but I'm missing some key piece in getting the resource updated. I may not need the rule, but I couldn't get the resource to update from my workflow, so I decided to try a rule. In any case, here's my form:

     . . . Any ideas? Pointers? Suggestions? I can't find any information on how to write to the resource. What is it that triggers that to happen? What do I need to add to my rule, task definition or form to get that to update? Any ideas are much appreciated!

Field Update workflow action - Updating today's date into a field

Hello there.
I was hoping someone might be able to help with an error currently being experienced with regards to this workflow action.
The requirement is for a workflow rule to action the printing of today's date into a custom field on an Activity record. The workflow rule condition is (PRE('<Status>') <> 'Completed') AND ([<Status>] = 'Completed'). This appears to be working and triggering the action correctly.
The custom field to be updated is of type 'Date'. The value being updated into this field is 'Today()'. Overwrite existing values is checked.
The default value for the field is also 'Today()'. Thus the workflow action involves overwriting the default value (i.e. the date the record was created) to the current date when the Status is switched to completed.
When the workflow is triggered the following error message occurs:
"Unable to evaluate workflow rule for the following reason:
Update [Custom field name] : The value '01/18/2008' cannot be converted to a date time value. (SBL-DAT-00359) (SBL-ODS-00500)"
One odd observation is that this error only occurs when trying to update activities that were created on previous days - (it will not overwrite the default value of 15/01/2008 with 18/01/2008). The workflow does not return an error message when asked to overwrite a value which is equal to itself (i.e. if the default value was 18/01/2008, the workflow runs without error, although the value stays the same as you would expect.)
Can anyone shed any light on this? One potential thought is that our CRM is set up so that all dates appear in a different format - i.e. dates appear as dd/mm/yyy, rather than mm/dd/yyyy. Could this be contributing to this issue?
Any help very much appreciated indeed.
Thanks,
Kieran
ps. The reason for doing all this is that 'Completed date' for an activity does not appear in reporting. This has been raised with Oracle and apparently an 'enhancement request' has been registered.

Guys,
using the following statement, it does display the current system time
Mid(Timestamp(),4,2)+'-'+Mid(Timestamp(),1,2)+'-'+Mid(Timestamp(),7,4)+' '+Mid(Timestamp(),12,8)
Now When i do this , it displays me a time which is 3 hours ahead
Mid(Timestamp(),4,2)+'-'+Mid(Timestamp(),1,2)+'-'+Mid(Timestamp(),7,4)+' '+Mid(Timestamp() + (3.0/24.0),12,8)
My problem is to now display the difference of the current time stamp and the the time which shows 3 hours ahead in one field
Thats is substracting the first timestamp syntax fro mthe second timestamp syntax
and ofcourse if I copy paste both the syntaxes and put a minus sign in between, it doesnt work
Timestamdiff is not allowed in workflows or field validations :(
Anyone has any ideas?
Nick

Import action Update vs Replace in workflow

Hi! Is it true that we should be using import action Update (all mapped fields) when processing data updates via import manager?
I found that if I set the impact action to Replace and when I run my workflow which does a check on old and new value (for price), the validation will fail. This is because the old and new value will be the same. However, if I use Update action, then the system will retain the old value. I find it strange that on checking out that the system is not retaining the old value of the data (regardless of whether I am using Replace or Update action).
Can someone please clarify?
Thanks!

Hi SF,
Replace Import action will Replace the old value with the new Value so their is no information of the Old value as the old value is now replaced with the new value.
In case of Update All mapped fields the system will Update the old values with the new values as per the new source file and so not all the records field values will change .Only the incoming records which have updated values in the source file will update all the mapped fields with new values.
In any of the case only the lates value will be saved under that particular field for the records so tracing the old and new values is not possible.
Even the workflow is always triggered after the record is already updated/Replaced in MDM and after the record is created they get checked out.
Note: In case you are using MDM 5.5 , Excel source file cannot be used with the Replace Import Action.
Hope it helps
Thanks & Regards

What is the difference between action and workflow? How do I decide that I need an action in a transaction and not a workflow and vice versa?

Dear Experts,
I have few doubts and request your expert inputs to clarify my doubts.
What is the difference between action and workflow? How do I decide that I need an action in a transaction and not a workflow and vice versa?
Your earliest response is highly appreciated.

Hi SMTP,
First of all, as I mentioned action is nothing but an executable work item which is designed in the workflow itself. In other words, Workflow is like your OOPS class. At run time, workflow instances are created just like objects of classes. Now, the steps designed in the workflow are called TASKS and the instances of tasks are called WORKITEMS. Now, the work items where any user action is required are called executable work items. ANd the work items where no user action is required (for example, sending an email in background) are called non-executable work items.
Whether to go with development of workflow or not depends upon your business scenario. If your requirement is only to send an email and you find any BAdi or exit where in you can write your logic then there is no need of creating a workflow. If there is a defined business process with defined users and time lines, then you can go with the development of workflows.
Rest, the below link will help you in understanding basic concepts of workflow :

What is the difference between Action & Workflow?

hi,
What is the difference between Action & Workflow?

Hi,
Actions
Actions are important for maintaining and improving business relationships. You can schedule and start predefined processes with the Actions component by means of user-definable conditions from transaction and marketing objects.
You can tailor the type and time of actions to the requirements of your customers and the processes in your company. This component enables you to match your service, sales and distribution management, and your campaign management even more closely to customer needs, and, simultaneously, to automate them
In simple words Actions are automatic actions that are configured to occur in business transactions (activity, sales order, quotation etc.) as a result of particular condition like change of status to let us say "in process" from "open".
Workflow:
The automation of a business process, in whole or part, during which documents, information or tasks are passed from one participant* to another for action, according to a set of procedural rules.
*participant = resource (human or machine)
SAP Business Workflow is the R/3 tool for handling the process automation within R/3 or between R/3 systems and other systems involved in the business process. It is flexible enough to handle ad hoc processes such as the circulation of an electronic document. It is robust enough to handle mission critical process in the production system such as the creation of a material master.
The different R/3 applications supply standard workflows for the commonly occurring processes. Once these workflow templates are activated, they are ready for immediate use. A complete set of workflow tools, including the workflow editor and workflow generation wizard, are provided to enhance these standard workflows or create new workflows. These tools are complemented with transactions for monitoring, tracking and the statistical analysis of the processes.
Because the business process often does not step at the R/3 boundary, various interfaces and third party tools are available for extending the process across systems.

I just bought an iPhone 5s running iOS 7 and updated it to the recent version 7.0.5 and there is no call decline button. Sometimes it shows it sometimes is it does not... What's the problem...

With iOS 7, the "call Decline" button is only available when the phone is awake. To decline a call when the phone is asleep, simply tap the On/Off button.

I uninstalled Firefox once, reinstalled it and it ran. I had a problem so I did it again. Now it will not run and I get an error message saying that firefox is running and you can only run one at a time. I can't figure out what is running.

Because of a problem, I uninstalled Firefox once, reinstalled it and it ran. I had a problem so I uninstalled/reinstalled it again. Now it will not run.
