Work flow problem with portal

Hi,
   I am facing a workflow problem user is approving  employee transfer via portal but the approval is not moving to next level. I am having the ECR no (Notifiction no), can anybody explain me how to get the Workflow item number using the notification number from portal.
Regards,
Karthik.k

Use Tcode IQS22 & display the notification.
then you click on the dropdown beside the Services for Object icon in the menu
workflow--> workflow overview
here you can determine the error ie where the Notification is stuck.

  • Flow management with portals

    Hi all,
    I work with flow control in the WLPS and have some problem.
    I am able to invoke unportalized JSP from a pipelet but cann't manage to
    return back to the portal home page.
    To invoke an unportalized JSP I use the following sequense in the
    webflow.properties:
    agentsMgr.jsp.link(agentNew)=portals/myPortal/agentNew.jsp
    where agentsMgr.jsp is a portlet and agentNew.jsp is a particular JSP.
    Now I would like to return back to the portal home page.
    I tried to use the following code:
    in JSP:
    WebflowJSPHelper.createWebflowURL(pageContext,"agentsNew.jsp","link(portalHome)",true)
    in webflow.properties: *
    .jsp.link(portalHome)=portals/myPortal/portal.jsp
    and got an exception.
    I changed approach and used
    in JSP:
    WebflowJSPHelper.createWebflowURL(pageContext,"agentsNew.jsp","link(portalHome)","&portalized=true&dest="+getHomePage(request),
    true)
    in webflow.properties: nothing
    and the result was the same.
    I noticed that getHomePage(request) always retrives null although I have
    used <%@ page extends="com.beasys.commerce.portal.admin.PortalJspBase"%>
    Any pointers about using flow management with portals would be greatly
    appreciated.

    Are you trying to build an interaction system within OBIEE? If that is the case, then OBI might not be an ideal tool as it is a Business Intelligence reporting tool.

  • Losing Edits?!?... Am I having a Work Flow Problem???

    OK, so this is what I am working with...
    All Graphic Designers are on Mac OSX Snow Leopard running Adobe InDesign CS5
    All Editors/Writers are on PC (various versions of windows?) running Adobe InCopy CS6
    We are all working off a server to share these files...
    This is our current "work flow", I've created .icmt files for the Editors/Writers to start their content in.
    I have also created .indt files for the Graphic Designers to start the layout process.
    Once the Editors/Writers have opened a .icmt file and entered the content, they save the file out as .icml files, then notifies the Designers that the content is ready to be placed.
    The Designer then opens the .indt file and places the .icml files into the layout (this document usually runs about 16 letter size pages with approximately 30 assignments (.icml files)).
    The file is then saved as a .indd file.
    Now during the editing process while the designer is still laying out the document, the Editor/Writer opens the .indd file in InCopy and checks out an assignment to start their edits... and on several occasions after spending a good amount of time on edits, they check it back in, but they lose ALL of their edits that they just made???  What are we doing wrong here (sometimes it works, sometime it doesn't)?
    If anyone could help me, i'd very much appreciate it.
    Thanks!

    Hello. I am recently having problems with my
    PowerBook. Hope you guys could help out =)...
    Firstly, I am having that 'beach ball problem' where
    the color beach ball keeps spinning and spinning when
    I'm loading applications or even using Safari.
    Secondly, I went to Disk Utility and did a 'Verify
    Disk Permissions'. My results are as follows:
    Verifying volume “Macintosh HD”
    Volume Header needs minor repair
    The volume Macintosh HD needs to be repaired.
    Error: The underlying task reported failure on exit
    1 HFS volume checked
    Volume needs repair
    I'm so lost and worried now! My questions is, my hard
    disk going to crash or something? I have no backup at
    all! Help Help!
    PowerBook G4 15-inch   Mac OS X
    (10.4.3)  
    Don't know about the beach ball. But the message indicates that the disk is probably OK. However, you cannot repair a disk while the system has it mounted; esp. the startup disk. You have to startup up using another disk; e.g., the install CD/DVD. Then you can run the disk utility and repair your main disk.

    Earlier I had some problems with not resolving addresses, which I somehow got rid of. At the time I blamed my isp.
    Perhaps something broke when I had a program running in wine to play with a car too and I had to switch the laptop off bc it didn't want to react anymore.
    thx for reading
    e: I don't know why, but it worked when I started Arch this morning.. while it didn't yesterday although everything worked correctly on my other PCs.

  • Internal order work flow problem

    Both WF issues are related to internal orders  , Transaction KO03
    ==========
    Example for 1 st case  
    consider A , 1 , 2, 3 , 4 are approvers
    A --->>>>     1)  , 2) , 3) , 4)
    if A doesnt  approved in 3 days , then it go to 1 , 2, 3, 4
    after 3 days , any one of them 1, 2 ,3 , 4 can approve it
    3 days passes , but before any one of them approve , its already approved by A
    all of  1, 2 , 3, 4 have mail in their inbox for approval , but
    here work flow is completed , what work flow is supposed to do , it does
    , but in status error is coming .
    why this is error is coming , even when workflow completed and workflow does its job
    ==========
    Second problem
    one user X have approved , after its approval status should change to approved ,
    but it is not changing  and it is showing status in process .
    therefore work flow monitoring team , who is checking which  WF request are still in process
    again  initiating workflow .
    Now again same cycle repeats , it again comes to inbox of same user  , who earlier approves.
    Please suggest  why status is not changing , even after approval , why it is showing status in process
    and why same user  X , who earlier approves it , getting mail in its inbox for approving it.

  • Proxy problems with portal

    Hi everybody,
    we are running EP60 sp13; when we get to the portal via IIS (SSO), after a short period of work, the Portal doesn't work anymore.
    We are always redirected to the home page (sometimes a blank page).
    Everything returns all right when rebooting the portal machine.
    I don't have this problem when going through 50000 port.
    I have already had a look to SAP notes, and what I did is:
    -downgrade iisproxy.dll to 1.6.1 version
    -set the parameter UrlSegmentMaxLength in the registry at the maximum allowed.
    But this doesn't solve our problem, after some hours the portal doesn't work anymore.
    Does anyone of you have any idea about this?
    Thanks in advance

    Hi,
    Have you had a look at note 713568?
    The most typical error which fits your problems is that the max-socket-age parameter in iisproxy.xml is larger than the KeepAliveTimeout of the HTTPProvider of the dispatcher. This causes problems since J2EE closes the connection silently and when a new request comes through IIS tries to use a connection which is not active on J2EE.

  • Problem with portal theme for WD Application

    Hi Experts,
    We have enhanced our ECC with EHP4 and SP18 in our existing portal.And now i am getting some theme problem.
    I have few Wendynpro ABAP application in the portal which was coming with correct theme earlier bur after
    enhancement all the other application in the portal are coming with the proper theme except all the
    Webdynpro abap application.
    All the WDApplicatio are coming as blue same like its coming in the backend system.I tried with many option
    but i am not able to correct it since i have very little knowledge about the portal.
    Thanks,
    Satya

    The problem is probably due to the fact that ERP Enhp4 contains NetWeaver 7.0 Enhancement Package 1 in which SAP delivers the Lightspeed rendering and the new Signature theme SAP_TRADSHOW_PLUS.  The Portal at the 7.0 SP18 release level would not have the correct mimes for Tradeshow Plug or for Lightspeed. If the UR rendering of the backend is higher than that of the portal, it has to fallback to using the local stylesheet of the ABAP AS to protect that hte rendering is done correctly (see OSS Note 1267950 and 1033496).  You can try the option WDFORCEEXTERNALSTYLESHEET, but because of the drastic differences in the 7.01 and 7.0 rendering this will very likely lead to rendering errors (visual errors or more serious - JavaScript errors).

  • After restoring 5S from 5, notifications from many news APPs don't work (no problem with my iphone 5 running iOS 7.0.2)

    I used iphone 5 and have updated it to iOS 7.0.2. Everything worked with it. I can receive all the notification from news APPs.
    After receiving iphone 5s, I set it up by restoring the backup from iphone 5. However, not all APPs were synced. Also, many notifications are not working especially with the news APPs I was using.
    The notification of those APPs affected are turned on in the notification center.
    I have restored iphone 5S to factory setting and set up again, but still not all the notifications are working.
    What should I do?

    A workaround is to reinstall lazy apps, mostly for those that were restored but don't appear on notification center, eg. Whatsapp. In my case I have more than 500 apps installed.
    We need a correct solution for this problem.
    I also had this problem on the past moving from 4s to 5.
    And now from 5 to 5s.
    The only notifications working after restore in my iPhone are those from Facebook.

  • AE Major color/work-flow problems in latest release

    Hello fellow After effects users,
    I'm not usually one to bring up problems like this online but, recent changes to the "color" window have crippled my workflow. Ill describe the problems here and maybe there are new options I don't know of that can alleviate the challenge.
    The color window is now seemingly a port of windows found in photoshop with a swatches panel and multiple color choosing options. This change however has brought on 2 major problems. First; the new "magnifying glass" color picker tool almost never chooses the exact color it highlights. The brightness and contrast selected are always slightly off for no explainable reason. In some cases, as in acquiring a color from another shape in AE, I can make a swatch of the color I want and use that. BUT, when I have a rasterized file, like a JPEG, it is impossible to match a color. There also is no Hex code box for colors, so no one stop way to copy and paste a color from one location to the next (my usual work around for faulty color pickers). This leaves, using Apple's built in color identifier (DigitalColor meter), then, switching back to AE to dial in the 3 parameters of hue, saturation, and brightness (or RGB) - an ok way to do things but way more cumbersome than previous methods.
    Don't get me wrong; the swatches are amazing and have many great applications. I would not want them removed. There are just some things they cant do, especially with a color picker that does not work well.

    Zach, in Preferences > General, is Use System Color Picker enabled? If so, you should disable this, and then you will see the same color picker dialog that After Effects has been using for several versions.
    There has been no change to the color picker, and the Use System Color Picker option defaults to off but it sounds like this option may have been enabled for you at some point.

  • Work-flow problem, 4 timelines

    Hi!
    I would need good suggestions for what would be the best way to do this:
    I'm editing an art installation for a artist, who wants to use four video-screens for his installation. So it's four TVs playing different films synchronised into music. The problem is, that the screens sort of communicate with each other, so it would be importat in the editing phase to see the four clips play at same time.
    Is it possible to play four timelines at the same time? The video material is DV, so maybe my G5 could do it.. But how?
    So far I have been able to only see one clip at a time, so it's been really painfull to make all the cuts sync..
    I read from the PRO-stories about this Muhamed Ali exhibition, where they did something similar:
    "Cortina created a rough cut for all five screens within one Final Cut Pro window. “We were able to have five layers of video running simultaneously — all composed the way we wanted — in the Final Cut window,” he says. “And we were able to render a five-screen video, all laid down into one screen so we could see the whole video play out.”"
    I didn't quite understand what and how they did that. Could somebody please explain.
    Or how else would you do a project like this?
    Thanks!!

    Build four motion effects that place video in the four corners. Save as favorites and name descriptively – top left, top right, bottom left, bottom right.
    Build a fifth sequence with four video tracks.
    Drag each of your original timelines to the viewer and then insert each in turn to a separate track.
    Drop your motion effects on each track.
    Mark the section you need to view and render only that much so you can see whether it is working.
    This is far from ideal – in theory when you make changes to the original sequences your "Quad Split" sequence will update, but you will need to re-render. You could also use Option-P or the Quick View tool to get a sense depending on how long the renders take, or how critical you viewing is.
    Hopefully someone will have a clever alternative.
    This is all for fine tuning when it is almost done. Before then I would just keep the codes consistent in your four sequences and work by time code references to sync events.

  • G510 Dolby Digital Plus Advanced Audio doesnt work driver problem with Windows 8.1

    Hi,
    my Lenovo G510 has Windows 8.1 64-bit.
    In the system menue of Hardware and Sound I can see two entries:
    1) Dolby Digital Plus Advanced Audio
    2) Dolby Digital Plus Advanced Audio (32-bit)
    Clicking on the first entry a control panel appears. Does this mean that Dolby Digital Plus Advanced Audio is always running in the backround? There is no entry in the systray.
    Clicking on the second entry this error message appears:
    Your current installed version is 7.3.2.2 of the Dolby Digital Plus audio driver. The software needs the driver version 7.5.1.1. Installe a correct combination of driver and software.
    What to do with this? I searched for a solution and drivers but couldn´t find anything.
    Thanks for your help.
    Solved!

    Still in Device Manager, click on Action>Scan for new Hardware.
