Workflow agent assignment in Production system

Hello Sap Gurus,
Is there a way to maintain harcoded agents(not a general task..but putting in a user's name) on the tasks in the SAP production system without going to Change mode.
I know we can do it for the Workflow templates in Dispaly mode but for the tasks, it wouldn't let us do without being in Change mode.
Any suggestions is appreciated
Thanks

Hi Rachana,
The agent assignment of a task is a PD infotype and therefore the question is do you have the authorisation do maintain in production?
From what you have described, the short answer appears to be no. But a longer answer is that, with sufficient access, you can open a workitem in change mode and forward to a new agent after using the Replace Manually option.
Another option would be to go in throught the diagnosis tolls (SWUD) and use the option test environment. You will see the steps of your workflow at the bottom of the page. If there is a red football shaped object - this is agent assignment - you can click to maintain the assignments.
A better question is why maintain by user ID here as it is a pain to maintain.

Gareth

RFQ Workflow: Agent assignment

Dear All,
We are working on the Release RFQ workflow.
Per my understanding, the IMG settings determine the users/OUs who should be receiving mails
to release the RFQ. This multilevel approval is in place.
Now, I have created an RFQ, this triggered the workflow, but there is an error in the release activity.
The error says "Purchase reqn number is not found".
Do we need to explicitly mention the release rule 20000030 in the agent assignment section
of the workflow? Why does the error abt purchase reqn appear?
Does it look if the RFQ is created w.r.t Purchase reqn?
As this is both MM/workflow related doubt, Iam posting it in both the forums
Please help me.
Thanks,
nsp.

Thanks for your response.
These steps are already taken care of.
Now, what I have done is, I have created an RFQ with reference to a purchase requisition. In SWEL, I see workflow WS20000080 triggered. But I get an error saying "Element purchase order is not available in the container. Error in resolution of rule 'AC20000030' for step. Agent determination failed"
Can you advise me? Why does it look for purchase order ?
Thanks,

FI Payment Release Workflow Agent assignment and SPRO settings.

Hi Experts,
I am working on Payment release workflow for 2 stages. So for this i have activated the main workflow WS00400012 and for First level release WS00400011 and for second level release WS00400021.
Now where should i assign the agent for First level release and second level release ? and what setting should i do in SPRO as FI settings.
Any of you suggestions will be of great help me to resolve this issue.
Regards,
Hari

Hi,
Thank you for your reply.Should i mention the main workflow number in SPRO or
just the subworkflows alone ?.
Assign main workflow number
Can i assign users directly in workflow itself insteas of assigning position in SPRO.
Don't assign users inside the workflow, if the user id you want to change then again you have to change the workflow.

I created a multline conatiner for agent in the workflow container.
In the fm sww_wi_start_simple, I am passing the internal table from agent.
But while debugging I found in the fm agent table, the value which i sent is present.
But after triggering workflow it is going to another id, which i assigned while testing.
How to verify which value is coming to agent in the workflow.

RE: Workflow binding problem in Production system(urgent)

Hi Experts,
Currently we transported our workflows to production server. When one of the user tested our workflow it failed. On Analysis I could find that the data are not passed from method to task container but method is working fine separately. Even I tried executing t-code 'SWU_OBUF' , but still not working.
Pls let me know of the solution .
Thanks,
Bharath

Check for linkages. Is the binding activated betwwen workflow to task container.
Check whether values appear in task container or not.
Then check for binding between task & method container. Is there any event linked with the task. Is the event linkage is activated.
The problem might be resolved if all the linkages are correct.

Source system assignement in production

Hi all
Before importing any requests which are related to infosource , cubes and update rules into production, do we need to make any source system assignment in production system?
I have directly imported into production but there were no source system / data source assignments to these infosource.
can you please suggest what to do for these souce system assignments in production.
thanks in advance
AN

Hi,
you have to assign the production source system to your BW system. After replication of the DataSources, you can import your development from the BW development system.
Important is the conversion in the SPRO Transaction - Change source system name after transport. In this view you have to type in the source system name of the source system linked to your development system and the name of the source system linked to your production system. During import to production system, BW will automatically change the source system names.

Workflow - Dynamic agent assignment

Hello!
I am doing Workflow development. I have a question about Workflow Agent Assignment.
I want to assign multiple agents ( 1 or 2 or more agents and It's not static. Each agents have task that processing independent. and next task is started after end of all multiple tasks.).
But I can't dynamic assignment('Adhoc agent assignment' is not that.)
Can you help me?(Is this possible?)
Best Regards,
Juhyun

Hi
If I have understood you correctly, you have a multiline container element with a number of agents (type wfsyst-agent) - and now you would like to send a workitem to each agent - and not just one workitem to all of your agent.
To achieve this you need to define the task (or sub workflow) as a multiline element. T
his is done in task implementation in the workflow builder. Switch to the tab <b>Other</b>, in here you add your multiline container element containing.
When you now go back to agent assignment, you will find two container elements for your multiline element, use the one with [&_WF_PARFOREACH_INDEX&].
The result will be that exactly one workitem is created for each entry in your multiline container element.

WorfFlow Agent Assignment at Task Level...

Hi,
I have problem in Workflow agent assignment...
In agent assignment at Task (MM Invoices Parked/Posted) level, I have assigned a position(Account Payable)to AC Role...
Under this position, there are 8 users....
In the Workflow process,At this task level the work item is going to only one person inbox not all these 8 users...
Can you please advise me, where I was wrong...
Warm Regards,
Thirupathi....

Hi Thirupathi,
There are a couple of things you can try:
- Agent assignment gets buffered in HR, normally refreshed at midnight. Use txn SWU_OBUF to refresh them manually.
- Are all agents also possible agents of the task or is the task defined as a general task?
- (just adding the obvious) make sure your task is in status READY, else it would have been reserved by someone.
Cheers

Could not Locate Workbook in Production system ?

Hi ,
Can any one explain me the procedure to transport workbook from Dev to Prod.
I have recently transported some queries and workbook . Transportation went fine , I am able to see the queries in Production system . But i failed to locate all my workbooks in Production system . I have searched for the work books with Workbook ID and with description but it is of no use. I can see my transported work book in Meta data Repository.
Your help is appreciated .
Thanks in Advance

Hi Rob,
i am a bit clear now.
I have 30 workbooks in production system , they are not in dev , I mean 30 workbooks are directly created and assigned in production system.
Now i have created 10 new workbooks in development. My devlopment system has only 10 new workbooks.
as per my understanding from your reply is ' If i transport the role i can only have 10 newly created workbooks in production and loose 30 workbooks . Which i don't want .
i want these 10 workbooks to transport in to production system without effecting existing 30 workbooks in production system

Product system not in LMDB only in SMSY

Hi Solman experts,
I have a question regarding Solman products in LMDB and SMSY.
After updating Solman 7.1 from SP08 to SP10, in Managed Systems Configuration, Assign Product step I get the following errors:
(I am using ABC as SID)
ABC00001~JAVA: part of product system ABC, which is not in LMDB but only in SMSY
ABC~ABAP: part of product system ABC, which is not in LMDB but only in SMSY
In SMSY i see that under ABC there is both ABAP and JAVA whereas under ABC00001 there is only Java (in Products system).
The Diagnosis of Solman for this error is:
Diagnosis
The technical system ABC00001~JAVA is assigned to product system ABC, which was created in transaction SMSY and has not yet been migrated into the Landscape Management Database (LMDB).
The technical system ABC~ABAP is assigned to product system ABC, which was created in transaction SMSY and has not yet been migrated into the Landscape Management Database (LMDB).
System Response
Procedure
If the product system information in transaction SMSY is still required for your system landscape maintenance, migrate it to LMDB. You can do this in the SAP Solution Manager: Configuration work center under System Preparation -> Prepare Landscape Description -> Migrate SMSY Data into LMDB -> Migrate Product Systems. (For more information, refer to the help text in the UI.)
If the product system information in transaction SMSY is no longer required for your system landscape maintenance, delete the product system information in SMSY.
Could anybody who had the same experience share their opinion on this case. This LMDB<>SMSY change is very confusing at this step. Would be more meaningful to execute the optional migrate from SMSY step or delete the product. the second seems a little bit meaningless in this case.
Thanks in advance.
Regards

Hi Shkëlzen,
then that could be the reason why you have some system(s) in SMSY and LMDB.
As far as I understood you need to migrate all your Landscape from SMSY to LMDB by using the step "2.4 migrate smsy to lmdb" as mentioned by Jansi Rani Murugesan at http://scn.sap.com/message/15079962#15079962
It might happen that this transformation creates double system entries in LMDB by adding the 0000x to the SID. But this is only an visual "defect".
Once you have done the conversion from SMSY to LMDB you should get this issue resolved.
The conversion report took me more than 48 hours to complete. This is totally normal. You can execute some database statistics updates and/or check/optimize the profile parameters and hope the conversion runs faster.
Hope this helps,
Niklas

Assign a Logical System Name of a production client

Hi everybody,
We have an ERP system (now upgraded to ECC 6.0) that is in productive use since 7 years. Until now, no Logical System Name have been assigned to the production client - the field in transaction SCC4 is empty/blank.
Now we plan to implement a BW, so a test and a productive BW systems have been installed. According to the attached file and content of note 184447 we choose to use "Option 1: Uniform Logical System names clients by system type" for naming convention for LSN's.
All the systems/clients (BW test and productive, ERP test only) now are assigned with corresponding LSN's, except the production ERP client. It is still without LSN and the client is not defined as Source System for productive BW system.
So, my question is:
Should I expect any problems if the LSN of the production client is set up now, after long time, effective productive use?
I would mention that this is infact initial setup, not a change of LSN. Therefore transaction BDLS is not relevant, I think.
Thanks in advance

Hi DB49,
I already did an initial setup of LSN in the test ERP client (that client is copy of the productive ERP client, i.e. the LSN has not been set). And everything seems to be OK.
But the documentation says that ".... In a production system, the logical system must not be changed ...".
"Changed" is not "ïnitial setup" of course, so there will not be any problems I hope, but ...
SCC4 --> LSN field --> F1 -->
"System in which applications run integrated on a shared data basis.
The distribution of data between systems requires that each system in the network has a unique identification. The logical system is used for this purpose.
In the SAP System the client corresponds to a logical system. You can assign a logical system to a client in the client maintenance (choose Goto -> Detail).
The logical system is relevant in the following SAP areas:
ALE general: two or more logical systems communicate with one another.
ALE - ALE business processes (for example, cost center accounting): definition of a system where a specific application runs. Changes to master data can only be made in this system, for example.
Workflow objects: the logical system in which the object is located is always included in an object's key.
When maintaining the logical system, note the following:
The logical system must be unique company-wide. It must not be used by any other system in the ALE integrated group. In a production system, the logical system must not be changed. If the logical system of a document reference is not set to initial and does not match your own, the system assumes the document is located in a different system."

Agent Assignment in Workflow

If anyone had worked on customizing the WF for Changed Sub profile, WS1200124, please tell me how to configure the role for the standard task: 1200191, Abbreviation: PDVDispProfi .
I need to use this task for two purposes, one to show to the owner of the profile and second to the manager of the owner of the profile.
I tried giving the rules 01200025 for Employee and 01200024 for the manager in agent assignment for the tasks, but the workflow hangs at these tasks.
If I hardcode the agent to some user, it works fine.
Any suggestion on what would have gone wrong?
Is something to be activated at the rule level?
Thanks in Advance.
Suryakiran

Hi Mikko,
I work on ECC5 system.
Your answer solves half of my issue.
I assign an Expression with &EMPLOYEE& as the agent to task and this sends the mail to the employee.
the Work Item Subject says "Your Dev. Profile has been change".
Now, I also need to send the same mail to the supervisor of the employee.
Here, The workitem text should be "Dev. Profile has been changed for the Employee<b> XYZ</b>".
So, I cloned the task TS01200191 to TS900001,
changed the text accordingly and
created a container element "PERSON"
inserted this element as a variable in the text.
I need to pass this PERSON to the task in the binding from workflow.
This PERSON should be created in the workflow container and filled.
Please confirm if this procedure works or if there is a better one.
Thanks.

Steps to move workflow to production system

Hi,
We have a workflow in our production system.Now we have totally changed the workflow in dev system like total logic and new tasks have been created for the same.Now we are ready to move to production system after testing.So what all things are to be done/checked in production system.One thing we faced while moving to quality was that agent assingment was missing in quality.and we made it 'general' in quality system.will that happen in production also.if yes,what we need to do.
do we need to close our previous workflows before sending new definiton.I really dont know if we change the workflow,will the running workflows run on old version or new version.
Please help me on the steps or checklist that I should follow.
