Workflow approval process from outlook using webservice

Hi All,
I am trying to find a solution, for approval of worklow workitems from outlook. DUET is not a solution recommended by IT team.
I need information regarding approval and rejection of workitems using webservice
How can we send workitem for approval and rejection to outlook using webservicie?
Please propose a solution or tell me where can I find document regarding this scebario.
Thanks.

Hi Pawan
I have a question regarding this thread.
In case we are using the webservice BWSP to send every user a hyperlink and I have passed the hyperlink in the mail step in workflow , so that on clicking on it they will be able to view their business workplace.
1.Where should we do the setting for the logon credentials that is on clicking the link every user is asked for their user id's and password and then the business workplace opens up.
2. Will he be able to execute the workitems or any other setting is also require.
Also,I was going through your post on using web service to send a link to outlook where in you mentioned a piece of code to generate the hyperlink dynamically since details of host and port may change.
Now how should the above setting for user credentials be maintained in that code.
Your comments would be valuable on this.
Thanks and Regards
Aman

How to use a pwa group in CREATE A TASK PROCESS in SPD 2013 for project server workflow approval process

I am working on a Project Server 2013 workflow. I am creating this using Sharepoint Designer 2013. In this workflow I am using approval process at one stage. I have created a security group SalesManagers in PWA. I want to use this group for workflow approval
process. I want all users of this group get approval tasks.
For this I used START A TASK PROCESS activity in the SP Designer. I clicked on
this user and created task process. But here I could not find SalesManager group which I created in PWA. I was only able to find the users. I can also see
Administrators for PWA . But couldnot find SalesManager or any other security group created in pwa.
Can anyone suggest how I can get the security group created in pwa.

NBDevelopment,
I believe SPD only recognizes the SharePoint Groups and not the project server security groups.
The Administrators for PWA, and few other groups like Project Managers for PWA etc., are synced SharePoint Groups with the security groups, which is why they show up in SPD.
You could create a SharePoint Group for the Sales Managers group and use that in SPD.

Approve workitems from outlook

Dear Experts,
I want to approve workitems from outlook. I learnt that we can use Microsoft Duet for this. Can you please tell me whether Duet can be used for approval from outlook for both standard workflows as well as custom workflows. Also please tell me whether irrespective of workflow being standard or custom the features, content and process of approving workitems from outlook, will it be the same for both the case. Or will there be any features or functionality that will be missing or can't be incorporated in case of custom workflows. Will only a link be displayed in outlook clicking on which it will open the workitem or will the workitem similar to that displayed in SBWP be displayed. In caseof link then it will a round about way of approving from SBWP.
I also learnt that this can be done by extended notifications. Can workitems be approved in case of using extended notifications or just notications can be sent using this. Please highlight me in this regard.

Hi bharath ,
You are asolutely right ,there are 2 appraoches -
1) Microsoft Duet
SAP provides Leave Management in Duet .
With duet , any SAP workflow approval step can be handled Through Microsoft outlook .
For this the prerequisites are
a) MS office client
b) MS windows server
c) SAP ERP
d) MS exchange
in Duet the user is logged on to windows and gets validated with SAP,
you can search more on leave management through duet .
2) extended notifications
In extended notification , workflow work item would be sent in MS outlook inbox .User will be asked to provide SAP login and id and password to access the workitem .This will open SBWP for them .
this can be checked using report RSWUWFML2.
http://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/ABAP/Workitemintimationintheemail
you will find a lot on this in sdn .
hope this helps.

Approve/Reject from Outlook ?

Hi,
I got the requirement that Send a mail to the outlook. up to this is fine. But the user wants to take decision from Outlook itself?
How can we maintain Approve & Reject in Outlook. How the response will come back & Effect on the BO. Please explain?

Akash,
There are other ways to do it but the best way is to use Extended Notifications. If your workflow task is a User Decision (it should be) then you can make the approve/reject links show in Outlook as follows: call SWNADMIN, go to Subscriptions, select the relevant subscription, go to the Message tab, near the bottom is "Show User Decision As". Set that to "HTTP Link", save it and you should be done.
Hope that helps!

Limiting workflow approval process

Hello,
There's a workflow process for the talent management module HR_APPRAISAL_DETAILS_JSP_PRC. The approval process is going up many levels to the top person in the organization (using the supervisor hierarchy), but I want to limit this to only one step above the appraisees supervisor.
Say I am being appraised, my supervisor will do the appraiser and his own supervisor will approve.
Is there anyway to limit approval levels. I've looked at Approvals Management but not really sure what to make of it to be honest.
Thanks a lot.

I've done a few things just to update.
I create a new condition, the condition type is "Ordinary", the item class is "Header" and the condition is WORKFLOW_PROCESS_NAME in (HR_APPRAISAL_DETAILS_JSP_PRC)
Also, created a new rule:
The rule type is list creation, the item class is Header and the category is Approver.
This rule includes the condition I created above.
Also, the action I have defined for this rule is:
Require approvals up to the first superior, at most.
Should this solve my problem?
Also of note is that the workflow process for HR_APPRAISAL_DETAILS_JSP_PRC contains sub processes, does that fact have any effect?
Thanks again.

Approval process creation steps using JDeveloper in OIM 11g R2

Hi,
Please help me to create approval process creation using JDeveloper and how to use the approval process in OIM provision in OIM 11g R2.
Thanks in Advace,
srini

refer developer's guide to get the detailed steps. http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E27559_01/dev.1112/e27150/request.htm#BABFFJDH
Also refer OBE tutorial http://www.oracle.com/webfolder/technetwork/tutorials/obe/fmw/oim/oim_11g/Custom_Approval_Process_for_Resource_Request/custom_approval_process_for_resource_provision.htm#t3
There will be slight changes in the steps as this OBE is for 11gR1.
High level steps:
Create a new application using the following command
ant -f <OIM_HOME>/server/workflows/new-workflow/new_project.xml.
It will be created in OIM_HOME/workflows/new-workflow/process-template/ directory
Openthe .jws file in jdeveloper and edit the default human task and add whatever logic is needed.
Then deploy the composite after which you need to create an approval policy and link the SOA composite created

Invoking BPEL process from ADF application - webservice connection failed

Hi,
I am trying to invoke a Bpel process from ADF page , I deployed the same in Standalone SOA server since I had to display some Human Task Forms.
I created a webservice data control out of the bpel process and dropped the process method in my page.
The page on which I dropped the process method stopped rendering and I checked the logs and found that I got the error mesage- webservice connection failed,the webservice url could not be reached and in the logs it also asks us to check if the connections.xml is available in the meta-inf directory. I checked the conections.xml is available in the EAR.
So any pointers here and any one faced this error anytime?
is there better ways to invoke the bpel flow from ADF page.
Thanks,
Robin

Hi,
Check if your wsdl endpoint can accessed properly. If yes, check the soap-binding address is properly pointing to the server hosting the webservice.

Issue in invoking the BPEL process from Oracle using a SOAP Request

Hi,
We are facing an issue while invoking a deployed Bpel Process from Oracle Applications 11.5.10..
Using a concurrent program( Unix / Host program ) we are passing the input variables required for the Bpel process in the ProcessRequest tags and forming this as a SOAP message payload.
Then trying to invoke the deployed bpel process using the end point location using HTTP POST..but nothing is happening..
The bpel process is not getting invoked when i look at the Console and also checked for the Manual Recovery queue..it's not stuck there as well..
Have set the Transfer Time Out to 25 minutes using UTL_HTTP.SET_TRANSFER_TIMEOUT(1500);
Could someone please help us as soon as possible with this ..as this is critical and we are stuck at the moment.
