Workflow Administrator issue

Hi,
ebs 11.5.8
We successfully cloned from prod to dev. DEV been up for ~1 month.
We now have an issue with the Workflow.
I log in as sysadmin -> system administrator responsibility then workflow -> Global Preferences
In the html page that opens it says "Only the Workflow Administrators can edit Default settings."
I tried with Workflow Administrator -> Global Preferences but same results.
I check for profile (System Administrator -> Profile -> System : %workflow%) but found nothing that would indicate who is the admin of the workflow.
I think this is due to autoconfig, setting the default value for the workflow administrator.
How can I find who is the owner and change it?
Thank you~

WorkFlow Administrator access

Hi
I have a HR Leave approval workflow which has a background task that attempts to make a change to the absences infotype within the leave requestor's personnel record.
If the personnel record is locked at the point of attempting the update it fails and sends the work item to an administrator (not Workflow admin) to carry out the update manually.
Unforutnately the adminstrator's access is restricted and is subsequently unable to update the work item so the work item ends up in error in the administrators's inbox.
What is the best practice for this scenario, should the work item be sent to the Workflow administrator (assigned in trans SWDC)? Will this get round the access issue or will the Workflow administrator have same access problems when trying to manually deal with the work item?
Regards
Daniel

Restrict Workflow Administrator responsibility for a business group

My requirement is to restrict the Workflow Administrator responsibility to a specific business group so that the administrator can view all notifications/transactions for a given business group only for ALL item types. I tried following the steps given in the document 'Oracle Self-Service Human Resources (SSHR) Release Notes, Release 12.1.1' metalink id 578360.1. However, it doesnt seem to be working. Any idea on how to do this configuration?
Thanks,
Pallavi

Hi,
EBS version: 12.1.3, Database 11g
Below are the steps to reproduce the issue:

View Employees: Restricted
View Contingent Workers: Restricted
View Applicants: restricted
View Contacts: Restricted
View Candidates: All
Organization Security Tab--> Security Type: View All Organizations(No Security)
2) Set the HR: Security Profile option at the responsibility level for the Workflow Administrator Web(New) responsibility.
3) Log on to the Functional Developer responsibility and search for the predefined Workflow Item Attribute Values (WF_ITEM_ATTRIBUTE_VALUES) object.
4) Click the Update icon to navigate to the Update Object page.
5) Click Create Grant on the Grants tab.
On the Define Grant page, enter the following details:
In the Name field, enter a descriptive name for the grant.
Specify the effective date for the grant as '01-Sep-2011'.
In the Grantee Type field, select 'Group of users' and select teh responsibility 'Workflow Administrator Web(New)' in the Grantee field.
6)In the Object field, select the delivered object Workflow Item Attribute Values
7)On the Grant: Select Object Data Context page, select the HR Self-Service Selected Person ID Instance Set (HRSS_WF_ATTR_PERSONID_INSTSET)
8) On the Grant: Define Object Parameters and Select Set page:
In the Set field, enter the delivered Business workflow item attribute permission set (WF_ADMIN_ITEM_ATTR_PSET).
Click Finish to complete the grant creation process.
9) Logout and login as a user having Workflow Administrator Web(New) responsibility. Navigate to Administer--> Status Monitor. Search for all the workflows started this week. All the transactions from all the business groups will be listed. ideally, only the transactions occuring in UK business groups should have been listed.

ORA-12505, error when i tried to open the "Workflow Administrator" tool

i have installed Oracle content server 10g r3, but when i tried to open the "Workflow Administrator" tool i got the following error "ORA-12505, TNS: listener does not currently know of SID given in connect descriptor", so how can i solve this issue?
//hint i am using Oracle database 10g

Is the rest of your UCM install running OK?
This implies that the JDBC connection is failing.
Are you running Workflow Administrator from the Admin Applets in the browser OR as a standalone application from command line (*nix) or Start menu (windows)
I think that the application would normally look in config.cfg and use the JDBC connection string given in there - this would include the SID. Can you tnsping the SID?

I need help convincing my workflow administrator on Illustrator PDF presets.

I need help convincing my workflow administrator on Illustrator PDF presets.
I work at a company which prints folding cartons, pressure sensitive labels, and film packaging. Esko Automation Engine 12 is our primary workflow. We use PDF files saved directly out of Illustrator as the primary file format. At times, the size of an art file can get fairly bloated from scaled images, effects, transparency, etc. The workflow and Ilustrator have a hard time dealing with the file size. It has been suggested to use the "export" function under the File Menu and save the art file as a "normalized PDF". I honestly believe Distiller isn't even remotely involved when you do this. I tried to make the case to use the settings in the dialog box which appears when you save a PDF out of Illustrator. I know for a fact that this dialog box isn't any different from what you see in Distiller. From my years of experience with Kodak Prinergy, I know things like bicubic downsampling, etc. will not hurt the file. The workflow administrator thinks otherwise. Can anybody point me in the direction of Illustrator PDF presets that would convince him otherwise?

Brian,
What is somewhat confusing in your post is your mentioning a capability to export PDF from the File Menu as a normalized PDF file. There is no such option in Adobe Illustrator, at least as it comes directly from Adobe. You may use the File=>Save As dialog to save the file as a PDF file, but PDF is not an option under File=>Export. Furthermore, in terms of the .joboptions provided by Adobe, there is no Normalized PDF joboptions settings.
You mention Esko. Is it possible that you have one of Esko's products installed that provides proprietary plug-ins to Adobe Illustrator? If so, that may be the source of this Normalized PDF option. Maybe some other participant in the is forum knows more about that, but at Adobe, we don't (for better or worse).
You mention problems with file bloat due to “scaled images, effects, transparency, etc.” Are you referring to the Illustrator .AI files or to PDF files created from same? If the issue is the .AI file size, the only thing you can do to fix that is to uncheck the save as compatible PDF file option when saving .AI. In terms of PDF files from Adobe Illustrator:
(1) Scaled images should not add anything to a PDF file size unless you take such images and attempt to upres them in Photoshop prior to creating PDF. There really is no benefit to be achieved by such upresing of the images; any competent RIP can do that itself just as well as Photoshop.
(2) Transparency only adds to the PDF file size if you create PDF with transparency already flattened, or what I would better describe as ruined. Flattening transparency often causes large raster bitmaps and/or very complex groups of vector objects to be created to simulate transparency in an opaque imaging model (such as is supported by PostScript).
You obviously need to produce PDF that can be accommodated by the rest of your workflow. Since we don't know what that is and whether it conforms to current best industry practices, we cannot make an absolute recommendation for you.
However, generally speaking, the most reliable PDF print publishing workflow would generally require that you create PDF/X-4 using the PDF/X-4 PDF preset from Adobe Illustrator (or for that matter, from InDesign as well). PDF/X-4 supports full ICC color management (including spot colors), the entire PDF imaging model, and live transparency.

Can't preview RAW files in Bridge CC, administrator issue?

Can't preview RAW files in Bridge CC.
When i try to upate Bridge, it says:
Bridge is unable to check for updates, cause it can't connect to the internet or user is logged in as a non-administrative user.
So then i have to log in as a administrative user to the Bridge...and update..
Can't it be done easier???
I must also say i have also Bridge CS6 installed on pc and there everything is working fine.
Thx.

1/ Adobe Bridge should be possible to open without administrator issue.
By default it does, something seems wrong with your install
2/the images DO appear first for 2 or 3 seconds , then it turns to a RAW file icon.
Again indicating a wrong install, you see the embedded jpeg previews briefly but then the Raw thumbs should be build. When you see the generic Raw icon this means you don't have the correct version of the ACR plug in installed to match your camera or no converter at all.
Try this page:
http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/camera-raw-plug-supported-cameras.html
3/i only succeed in openening Bridge descently , so with ableing to see RAW files , WHEN i go to c:/progamfiles/Adobe/AdobeBridhecc/Bridge.exe
When, If i copy the exe file for opening Bridge CC and i put it on the Desktop, it DOES NOT Preview the RAW files.
Here you have lost me. As a Mac user I'm afraid I don't know nor understand anything about .exe, I download the .dmg file for an application which then automatically opens and I just click on the install icon, provide admin password and serial number once and then start using it without bothering about install ever again

How to determine the agent of workflow administrator

In the workflow, when there is any exception raised, we need to send notification to workflow administrator. My question, how to determine the agent of workflow administrator.

Hi jrockman li,
No it is not like that, i mean that administrator for workflow will a single person so you can simply give his userid as the agent.
As you told "YES SAP HAVE WORKFLOW ADMINISTRATOR ROLES"
SAP_BC_BMT_WFM_ADMIN Administrator for Business Workflow
SAP_BC_BMT_WFM_GP_ADMIN Role for Guided Procedure Business Workflow Administrators
SAP_BC_BMT_WFM_UWL_ADMIN UWL: Administrator for Workflow Functionality
You can use this roles for the agent determination purpose for the workflow administrators.
Thanks and Regards

Run button not appearing in 11.5.10.2 workflow administrator

Hi,
I am learning Oracle workflow on E-business suite 11.5.10.2 and very new in this.I am selecting a workflow in developer studio(under workflow administrator responsibility) and it is appearing also.But now when I want to run the workflow I am not getting any icon/button to run it.Can you please tell me where am I going wrong?

Hi,
Once you've logged in E-Business Suite, after navigating to Workflow Administrator Web (New) responsibility, are you saying that you don't see the "Run" icon which appears when you query an item type ?
If yes, check that the user / responsibility that you've logged in with is a Workflow System Administrator. You can check/set this by logging into E-Business Suite (Workflow Administrator Web (New) responsibility, Administration tab. Instead of a standalone user account, you have an option to define a responsibility as a workflow admin, in which case all users possessing that responsibility inherit admin privileges.

Rakesh

Workflow Administrator Tcode

Hello Experts,
Can any of you help me with a workflow administrator tcode that has the ability to find all the workitem using the user ID.
Im aware of the tcodes that can be used to find the workflow status with the task - dates etc... but im not able to find any which can be used to search workflow status with the user id.
Regards,
Regi.

Hey Dilek,
Thanks for the quick reply buddy, This will not help me because this gives me the list of workitem i can see as an approver , what i need is workflow log as a requester.
If i use this and select the user id - this will show me the list of all the worklist for that user id as an approver and not as a requester, what i need is to trak the log as a requester using the logon id.
Thanks,
Regi

Workflow Administrator SAP user Role

I have a question from the customer regarding which SAP User Role should be assigned to and Workflow Administrator?
From my point of view, basically there are 2 questions here:
1. Is there any standard SAP user Role for this? (which one?)
2. If not, then a custom Role need to be configured (from PFCG t-code i think). Can anyone tell me to which workflow transactions should be ground authority for such a Role?

These are the tcode for workflow developer. Use the SW* and pfac_dis,PFTC_DIS for wflow admin.

Error when i try to open the Oracle content server workflow administrator

i have installed the Oracle content server 10g r3 , but when i tried to open the workflow administrator tool i got the following error message during "loading cached tables" process, although i have made all the required steps in the installation manual ; the error is
"Unable to start the application work-flow. failed to initialize . the database table list was empty using a catalog of (null) and schema 'UCMADMIN'. you may need to configure the database schema explicitly using the configuration entry databaseschmemaname "
does anyone know what might be the problem ?
Thanks
Edited by: user11120147 on Jun 22, 2010 2:22 AM

It seems that I have specified to manually create the required tables and roles during the installation steps, so I manually run the required SQL scripts which include (creating tables, creating roles, creating users , etc..), and after have successfully login to the workflow administration tool .

Change workflow administrator

Hello ,
Is there any way to change the wrokflow administrator . The scenario is a user (who is the administrator for many workflows, ALE config post processing permitted agent etc )is going to be replaced by a new user . All the places where this user was configured has to be now replaced by the new user . Is there any easy way to do this . Or is there any easy way to find out where all the old user has been configured as reciever/administrator . Please show some light .
Many thanks,
JR.

the workflow system is administrated on different levels - at least when it comes to do workflows on IDOCs - and that's almost the only aspect i know of - so you would have to change the whole setup - use tx.
SWDC_RUNTIME to change the workflow administrator for worflows in general - a hint here: it pays a lot in the long run if you are not putting a single user-ID here, but tie it to HR-ORG: set up a position and attach a whole bunch of users to it, so you can distribute the workflows to more people and additionally you would never have to touch the admin-settings again ... the admin in this transaction would then be of type 'S' and the number of the organizational level. use tx. PPOME to set this up.
tx. OYEA to set up an IDOC-Adminstrator on the top-level (there are several levels where you can set them also ... on level of the partners, for example -> check tx. WE20 for this. here goes the same as for the above mentionen customizing: use HR-ORG to define a position ... see above.
both: IDOC-admins and workflow-admins are client-dependent, so you will have to repeat that action in every client in your system you want to use.

REG : Workitem Text for Global Workflow Administrator

Hi SRM Gurus,
I have a requirement wherein if the approver id is invalid the work item should go to the GLOBAL WORKFLOW ADMINISTRATOR.
I am achieving this in the RESP RESOVLER BADI, by checking the user is valid or not using the function module ' BBPU_CHECK_USER', in the in the method using the function module 'SWD_WF_DEFINITION_ADMIN_GET' and passing the same to the internal table ' rt_approver'.
Everything is working fine and I am able to get the GLOBAL ADMINISTRATOR, but the requirement is when the WORKITEM is sent to the ADMIN, a custom Work item text should be sent to the WF Admin as 'Work item text is ‘Shopping Cart number xxxx Technical Completion Approver determination failed.'.
Where should I give this text, I mean do I need to create an event along with an expression, and a new process level for the same.
If yes, where should I code for the approver check, as this should trigger only when the user is invalid.
Please help.
Regards,
Aakash Awasthi.
