Workflow 14500015

Hi Gurus
We would like to implement a user exit in WS14500015 from where a work item will not be sent back the to Requester upon a change from an Approver, as we would like the approval flow to continue.
This is our scenario:
1. Requester creates a shopping cart. Due to applied workflow logic the
SC will have to be approved by a purchaser and a financial approver
2. The purchaser gets the work-item in his inbox
3. The purchaser changes the price of one ore more items and approves
the shopping cart
4. The work item is returned to the Requester for approval/acceptance
5. The financial approver receives the work-item in his inbox and
approves it (it does not goes back to the requester!)
6. The shopping cart has now been approved.
We would like to skip step 4 if the change in price is less than a certain percentage or amount so to continue straight on to the financial approver.
Our question is then:
Does any of you Gurus have experience with similar situations?
Would any of you have a good idea of where would be a good place to enter the user-exit in the flow?
We look forward to your guru input on this matter.

Hi,
Havent come across such a reqt but you can try this.You can change the parameter "BBP_WFL_SECURITY " in the Personalization tab in trascn PFCG for the Approval role.Acc the workflow behaviour will change when changes are made to the SC by the Approver.

Need to understand impact on workflows during upgrade from EBP 3.0 to SRM 5

Hello experts,
Greetings to all and a Happy New Year!!
I am new to the workflow concept, though i have a fair idea of EBP.
We are using EBP 3.0, classic scenario. Very soon, we would be upgrading from EBP 3.0 to SRM 5.0. I have a few questions which i need to knw before I take up the upgrade part:
1) The impact on the worflows like Shopping cart approval, purchase contract approval etc when we upgrade from EBP 3.5 to SRM 5.0...
2) Does EBP have their own release strategies or are the release strategies defined in R/3 and applied to the shopping cart when it is ordered in EBP? As in classic scenario, POs are created in R/3, then how does the appoval process happen?
3) What are the necessary things, if any, that I should make sure of before upgrading?
4) Does all workflows also get upgraded or is there any tool to upgrade the workflow?
I am not clear with the approval concept in EBP. I know there are workflows that get triggered when a shopping cart is ordered but the approval process in this workflow is something which i want to understand. Please forward me a document, if possible, or a link will also do.
Please let me know the necessary details.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Ayush

Hi Ayush,
Most workflows will be the same, but if you have modifications on these workflows' then i'd suggest reverting back to the standards for the upgrade.
Im not quite sure what you mean about the release strategy. What can be done though, is creating Purchase Requisitions in the R/3 and pass them to the SRM system. From here PO's can be created and the approval process will take place in accordance with your workflow rules in tcode: swb_cond.
Before upgrading, try to have the system as clean as possible. When i say clean, i mean make sure that users are consistent, SC's, PO's etc arent left hanging. Try to avoid carrying documents over to the new system. I'd suggest archiving anything you can too.
I don't have any documents to give you but the basic process and transactions are as follows:
SWB_COND: Your workflow start conditions. Which WF's are on/off (defined by green/red light)
SWI6: This will let you examine a document and its relevant WF by its object id. (SC No, PO No etc..
SWUD: Allows for Consistency checks on your workflow and will find any inconsistencies which are occuring. (Use Test Environment and WF Tech Name i.e 14500015)
SWDD: The workflow builder, will let you build, activate, create new version and modify the worklows in your system.
Approval itself is simply the chain of approval which a workflow is defined to follow. You need your managers to approve/reject and the conditions for which Managers should be called for approval. Its works from Possible Approvers for workitems and Excluded Approvers for workitems.
Understanding the WF log is the most essential thing of all. The understanding of BADI is quite important too.
Hope this info helps you. Check help.sap.com cause everything is documented there too!

Re-starting Item Level Shopping Cart Approval Workflow

Hi All -
We are implementing WS 14500015 - the Item-based n-level approval workflow for shopping carts - for certain scenarios. In other scenarios we are using the overall approval workflow.
I need to re-start the item-level approval workflow for certain scenarios (change in price, change in quantity, etc) - not when any and all changes are made to a line item.
I was hoping to use the badi BBP_WFL_SECUR_BADI - which works great for the overall n-level shopping cart approval workflow. However, I can't seem to hit it appropriately for the item level approval workflow!
Does anyone know if this BADI or any other can be utilized for determining when to re-start the item-level shopping cart n-level approval workflow?
Thanks so much!
Abby

hi,
Have you implemented the badi BBP_WFL_SECUR_BADI ? for restarting the workflow?
Let me know?
Also it is possible to debug and see why the restart does not happen.
Also let me know wether the restart happens in other cases?

Error while deploying a workflow in OWB

Hi,
I am getting the below error while deploying a workflow in Control Center.
ORA-29532: Java call terminated by uncaught Java exception: java.sql.SQLException: The file /u01/app/oracle/product/11.2.0.2/dbhome_1/owb/bin/admin/rtrepos.properties cannot be accessed or has not been properly created on the server XXXXXX. If the file does not exist or if the database owner (normally user 'oracle') does not have the required file permissions or if the file has not been properly created then the file can be recreated by running the SQL*Plus script /u01/app/oracle/product/11.2.0.2/dbhome_1/owb/rtp/sql/reset_repository.sql (in a RAC environment the file must be manually copied to each server which is used for OWB). Otherwise if using a 10.2 database instance, then please run the SQL*Plus script /u01/app/oracle/product/11.2.0.2/dbhome_1/owb/UnifiedRepos/reset_owbcc_home.sql.
Did any one faced this issue before?
Kindly let me know the steps to resolve the issue.
Thanks.

Hi Vidyanand,
Did you create the runtime access user using the runtime assistant? Did you select the correct runtime repository (if you have more) to associate your runtime access user with?
Note that there are 4 database roles being created when you create a runtime repository owner:
- OWB_A_<runtime repository owner>
- OWB_D_<runtime repository owner>
- OWB_R_<runtime repository owner>
- OWB_U_<runtime repository owner>
If you would grant those roles to a user, then that user becomes an access user for the user with username <runtime repository owner>.
Note that you can also use the runtime repository credentials to connect to the runtime repository for deployment purposes, but you may not want that because of security concerns.
Thanks,
Mark.

Questions on OCS and workflow

I am wondering whether I can configure the following:
- Can I have multiple views? Example, view documents by Author, Project, Category? Can I customize document
views?
- Can I control access rights on a single document?
- Can I monitor or extract a report on how often a document is accessed?
In addition, I have the following problems with OCS Workflow:
- The Workflow has no default email notification. Documentations indicated that Email Notification has to be configured to work with SendMail. Can Email notification be configured with OCS Mail instead?
It does not make sense to use SendMail instead of OCS Mail.
- Document can be viewed by Workspace members once it is uploaded. What is the purpose of workflow then?
- Document has to be manually submitted for review to initiate a Workflow process. Can this be performed automatically?
- WorkFlow approver is defined by the user. It should have predefined approvers.
- In Workflow notification, Notification Detail provides the URL but does not have a URL link back to the document. In this case, the review process is manual because the approver does not have an easy
way to preview the document.
Are my comments correct? Are there any workarounds?

Roger,
1) The default SPINCOUNT value is 0 (no spinning) for all platforms that are supported today. (At one time we had a default value of 5000 for Sequent hardware, but it has been many years since we supported that platform.) The SPINCOUNT value that will work best for any application depends on many factors, including the number of CPUs on the machine, the hardware platform, and the indvidual application. SPINCOUNT will only be useful when the machine has more than one CPU.
2) /Q logs Q_CAT:1447 after 50 unsuccessful attempts to obtain the semaphore when the semaphore has never been released and reobtained by a different process or the same process during that period. The Access Control List code uses the same rule for logging LIBTUX_CAT:1511. If TMSPINCOUNT is set, then the number of unsuccessful attempts to obtain the semaphore is incremented by 1 only after TMSPINCOUNT spins have been done.
Code for the BB semaphore and the semaphore used by /Domain follows a different rule. This code will log LIBTUX_CAT:5005 or LIBGW_CAT:5010 if a process has to wait for the semaphore for 10 seconds and the semaphore has never been released by the original owner during this time period.
3) TMSPINCOUNT is used for the BB semapahore, AOM semaphore, ACL semaphore, /Domain semaphore, and /Q semaphore. Locking the GTT uses the same BB semaphore that used to lock other tables in the BB.

Ed

How can I display a SP 2010 out of the box workflow's task assignees via powershell?

There are days where one of the 250+ workflows at the site has attempted to send email to someone no longer at the company.
I would like to find a way to go through the farm and display all the list URLs that have workflows, and the mail addresses associated to the workflows.
This way I can track down the workflows that need to be updated to remove the missing users.
I have started a bit of script to do this. In my script, I just had a site collection - I figured that if I can get that to work, then surely wrapping another loop for the rest of the farm won't be bad.
However, for some reason, I am not seeing the output that I expected to show the mail addresses.
I am hoping a different set of eyes might see what I am missing. It was my understanding that the AssociationData property was XML that contained information about the assignees for tasks, the carbon copy list, etc.
Maybe I misunderstood something that I read?
$outLoc = "d:\temp\wfdata.txt"
$web = Get-SPWeb -Identity "http://myfarm/sites/it/"
foreach ($list in $web.Lists)
$associationColl=$list.WorkflowAssociations
foreach ($association in $associationColl)
$association.AssociationData | Out-File $outLoc
$web.Dispose()
I want to thank you for the helpful tips that so often appear on this list. They help me when I am reading over old threads to figure out what to do. I am hoping that tips on this thread will likewise be helpful.

Hi,
With
SPWorkflowAssociation.AssociationData property, we can get the assignees’ information. Your script can
be able to retrieve a XML format data which contains the user name we need:
So the next step would be getting the user name by parsing the XML data we got.
The two links below will show how to parse XML with PowerShell:

http://blogs.technet.com/b/heyscriptingguy/archive/2012/03/26/use-powershell-to-parse-an-xml-file-and-sort-the-data.aspx
With the user name, we can get the
Email property of an user with the scripts as the link below provided:

Note: Due to heavy load, the latest workflow operation has been queued. It will attempt to resume at a later time

Dear all,
sorry for opening another thread on this.
I think I have a performance issue with workflows attached to document sets in SharePoint. And I say “I think” because people keep telling me that this is the way it just is.
The user creates a new document set, which triggers a workflow in which the user has to confirm/review/approve a series of tasks. The time it takes from clicking the OK button on those task form to the workflow status moving to the next step is about 4 seconds.
And visiting that status page within those 4 seconds brings up the infamous “Note: Due to heavy load, the latest workflow operation has been queued. It will attempt to resume at a later time.” message.
Hitting Refresh in the browser after those 4 seconds will make the new workflow status appear and the red text go away.
Is that normal? Is that the performance that everyone else is seeing as well?
I struggle to see why simply moving a workflow from one task to another should take that on a machine that isn’t doing anything else at the time.
(1)
I have a standalone (non-clustered) SharePoint box, 4 CPUs, 8 GB of memory, more than half of that available, acting as application server and wfe; only the database is on different box.
(2)
The CPU only goes up to 18 or 19%, so CPU does not seem to be the bottleneck. Half the RAM is also still free.
(3)
The workflow is designed with Nintex, and has about 9 flexi and review tasks – the last 2 of them in a loop iterating over typically 3 or 4 items.
(4)
Looking at the logs it looks like the processing in Nintex only takes about 1 second – I don’t know where the other 3 seconds are going.
(5)
There is nothing obvious in the logs.
(6)
We’ve looked at all the “theoretical” improvements around throttling and batch sizes etc. – none of them appeared make any difference. And the workflow is so small that it looks like my tasks gets executed straight away. The problem appears
to be that the execution takes too long(?) and therefore has not finished by the time the page get redrawn.
(7)
I am running perfmon and I can e.g. see one(!) workflow being loaded into memory – as expected as I am the only user.
(8)
I am seeing a total of 3(?) SQL queries being executed(?). I get the Bytes Sent/sec spiking at 25K, and Bytes received at 18K. But is this good or bad or a bottleneck?
Where do I take it from here?
I have been told that “[…] most customers have no issue with this as they are used to the way SP operates and it can be slow at times.” Is it really that bad?
If it is worth watching more performance counters then I’d need to know what to compare them to.
Is there something else I am missing?
Thanks
Martin

Hi,
Before considering an additional hardware try to change following configurations for workflow:
Increase Throttle Size
Increase Batch Size
Time Out
Workflow Timer Interval
AutoCleanUpDays
Increase Throttle Size
The Workflow throttle setting controls how many Workflows can be processing at any one time on the entire server farm. By increasing the throttle it will allow the number of Workflows execution or can be initiated at a time.
Use below PowerShell command to get the current Throttle Size:
Get-SPFarmConfig | Select WorkflowPostponeThreshold
Use below PowerShell command to set new Throttle Size:
Set-SPFarmConfig -WorkflowPostponeThreshold 100
Increase Batch Size
This is the size that determines number of events processed for a single Workflow instance. Default value is 100, but it can be range from 1 to any number.
Use below PowerShell command to get the current Batch Size:
Get-SPFarmConfig | Select WorkflowBatchSize
Use below PowerShell command to set new Batch Size:
Set-SPFarmConfig -WorkflowBatchSize 200
Time Out
This decides the time out of the Workflow event. The default value is 5 and can be any integer. The time is in minute.
Use below STSADM command to get the current Time Out value:
stsadm -o getproperty -pn workflow-eventdelivery-timeout
Use below STSADM command to get the current Time Out value:
stsadm -o setproperty -pn workflow-eventdelivery-timeout -pv “15″
Workflow Timer Interval
This setting is applicable at Web Application level and not the farm level. The workflow timer interval specifies how often the workflow SPTimer job fires to process pending workflow tasks. This interval also represents the granularity of delay timers within
your workflow. If a timer is set to delay for one minute, but the interval timer fires only every five minutes, the workflow delays for five minutes, not one minute.
Use below STSADM command to get the current Workflow Timer Interval value:
stsadm -o getproperty -pn job-workflow -url <Web Application Url>
Use below STSADM command to get the current Workflow Timer Interval value:
stsadm -o setproperty -pn job-workflow -pv “Every 10 minutes between 0 and 30″ -url <Web Application Url>
Here is the url for reference :

Due to heavy load, the latest workflow operation has been queued. It will attempt to resume at a later time.

I have SharePoint 2010 Enterprise running SP1. Configuration is one SharePoint server in the farm and a SQL 2008 R2 database for the backend. Our user environment is 80 users with very little load on the SharePoint server. I have the workflow timer
set to 1 minute.
I have a SPD workflow that starts manually on a form library. Whenever I publish a new version of the workflow, the next time I start the workflow it takes the full minute to finish. If I click on the workflow status before it finishes, I see the message
"Due to heavy load, the latest workflow operation has been queued. It will
attempt to resume at a later time.". After the minute completes the workflow finishes.
Here's the weird thing, the next time I start the workflow, it runs in a couple of seconds - almost instantly. I've tried up to 15 times after the inital publishing and everything seems to work fine on initiation.
Well, that would be fine for me, however, I intermintantly get this heavy load message during task processes that are running inside the workflow. It's probably less than 5% of the time. It's really frustrating though so I appreciate some help. I'm look
online and haven't found anything that describes my situation.
Thank you in advance!

FM to read the different steps in workflow and the status at each step

Hi All,
Is there any FM in SAP which gives the detail roadmap of the steps taken in a workflow and the diffrent status or decision at each step.
I am looking for something like what you see when you click on the "STARTED WORKFLOW" in the business workplace outbox.
Which shows up the "steps in the process so far " and the decision and the agents for each of them.
Thanks,
Charan.

Hi,
You can get the status according to the task. please check with FM "SAP_WAPI_GET_WI_DELTA".

There are two ways to look at what error the PLSQLBLOB API is throwing.
1) Call your PLSQLBLOB API GNE_PO_CREATE_FILE_ATTACHMENT.Gne_Create_File_Attachment directly from a PLSQL block and verify that it returns the BLOB data successfully.
You could also call another WF API that in turn executes the PLSQLBLOB API internally. For example,
<pre>
declare
l_document blob;
l_doctype varchar2(240);
l_aname varchar2(90);
begin
dbms_lob.CreateTemporary(l_document, true, dbms_lob.Session);
-- 207046 - This is the notification id of your failed workflow
-- PO_REPORT - Document type attribute
-- 'text/html' - Content Type being generated for
Wf_Notification.GetAttrBLOB(207046, 'PO_REPORT', 'text/html', l_document, l_doctype, l_aname);
-- Print the size of the document here to verify it was fetched correctly
end;
</pre>
2) Turn on log for SYSADMIN user with following attributes.
Log Enabled = TRUE
Log Level = ERROR
Log Module = wf.plsql%
Restart the Workflow Deferred Agent Listener and Workflow Notification Deferred Agent Listener and run your workflow process. Search for log messages written for above context and you can identify the error at wf.plsql.WF_XML.GetAttachment module with message starting as "Error when getting BLOB attachment ->"
Hope this helps.

Error while calling a workflow process from a JSP

Hi,
I have a workflow program which is havign a process, which in turn calls 2 other processes.
Below given is the procedure which i am using to call the main process.
===========================================================
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE misProcFromJsp(
Cart_Id in number,
Email_Address varchar2

BEGIN
WorkflowProcess := 'CALLING PROCESS';
itemtype := 'PPCUSTOM';
select ITEM_KEY_SEQ.nextval into temp from dual;
itemkey := temp;
wf_engine.CreateProcess (itemtype => itemtype,
          itemkey => itemkey,
process => WorkflowProcess);
wf_engine.SetItemAttrText (itemtype => itemtype,
               itemkey => itemkey,
               aname => 'CART_ID',
avalue => Cart_Id);

Error while transporting TP in production server in workflow

Dear All,
I have done some workflows . It is working fine in development in quality but in production while TP transporting it is showing error like ' Temporary log /usr/sap/trans/tmp/TP number not found'. why this error is coming ?
Please guide m . Its urgent.
Regards ,
Shital

Shital,
Do you transporting those requests into PRD as Developer?
I think it is basis related issue, did you had any word with SAP basis person.
Any ways could you send long text when it is giving this error.
May be some sequencing issue in PRD?
Cheers
Jai

Non PO Invoice Workflow - Error while Posting Document

Hi Experts
Hope I am posting this in the right forum as I am new to SDN!
We have customized a multi-level non PO invoice workflow which triggers at the time of clicking 'Save as Completed' in tcode FV60.
It has been configured to automatically post the document once it is approved at all the required levels. However, the document cannot be posted even after it receives all levels of approval. The status shows as 'Complete' but the error message shown is 'No Amount Authorization for Customer/Vendor in Company Code' in the workflow screen (MSGID F5, MSGNO 155).
Now as I understand, this is the error for maintenance of user ID in tolerance groups. However, all user IDs have already been maintained and no matter who parks the document, the same error appears in the workflow screen.
We have no idea whether this is happening due to some missing config from FI side or WF side.
Regards

Hi
Go to Tcode: OBA3 Assign tolerance group under your company code and give all limits for each group. If you done this one your properly your problem should solve.
