Workflow basic queries

Hi all,
I've some basic queries for workflow:
1. In workflow mail, which is sent to approver, can we write the mail in different languages ( i found language button on task). If yes, how can we determine the language at runtime.
2. If a mail for approval(with portal link to approve/reject ) is sent to the manger & before his/her approval, if requester modifies the travel request & submits again, which sends another mail to the manager. In such case, what would the manager see while clicking on link of earlier mail.
3. how can we send mails to different approvers. Here,the case with me is the approvers are selected dynamically & No. of approvers are also selected dynamically (at run tiem).
Any help in above queries would be helpful.
Thanks in advance.

Travel Management basic queries

Hi all,
we're into implementing Travel Management. We're using Workflow & Webdynpro ABAP for the same.
I've some basic queries :
1. In workflow mail, which is sent to approver, can we write the mail in different languages ( i found language button on task). If yes, how can we determine the language at runtime.
2. If a mail for approval(with portal link to approve/reject ) is sent to the manger & before his/her approval, if traveller modifies the travel request & submits again, which sends another mail to the manager. In such case, what would the manager see while clicking on link of earlier mail.
3. how can we send mails to different approvers. Here,the case with me is the approvers are selected dynamically & No. of approvers are also selected dynamically (at run tiem).

hi
dynamic selection of approver is not possible you have to clearly define the approving authorities in the workflow assign agent.
if your system is uni-code activated then you can use any other languages like japanese, chinese, etc.,
it will open and show the old travel request details.

Some basic queries on OAF

Hi All,
I have some basic queries in OAF...
1. What are the procedures to delete the Extensions?
2. After extending a VO, why we have to upload .jpx file and if we don't upload what will happen?
3. Can we use EO without altering the table to add WHO columns?
4. Why we have to develpe the OAF pages in webui and VOs in server folders only? is there any specific reason?
5. Are there any other methods to call the methods in AM apart from using am.invoke("<method name>") from CO?
Please give me the answers for these queries.....
Thanks in advance..

1. What are the procedures to delete the Extensions?
Go to "functional administrator" responsibility. Under personalization Tab click on Import/export. Search for your document and delete the customization.*
2. After extending a VO, why we have to upload .jpx file and if we don't upload what will happen?
You need to upload the jpx file because in your jpx file you have Substitute tag which substitute OLD VO with new VO and at runtime framework will check if there is any substitution available then It will substitute the old VO with the new one.*
3. Can we use EO without altering the table to add WHO columns?
I think no because when you perform DML operations on EO then framework tries to update the WHO columns and if WHO columns are not present you would get an error message*
4. Why we have to develpe the OAF pages in webui and VOs in server folders only? is there any specific reason?
There is no specific reason for this we can create our PG files in server folders as well and it would work fine. This is just a standard given by Oracle.*
5. Are there any other methods to call the methods in AM apart from using am.invoke("<method name>") from CO?
You should only use am.invoke .*

Note that you're getting a fairly dumbed-down view of the whole virus issue so far. People like to play word games with this topic. It's important to understand that malware does exist for the Mac, so that you don't let a false sense of security behave in dangerous ways. Of course, there's been several orders of magnitude less malware released for the Mac in the last 10 years than appears for Windows every day, on average, so you'll probably never see any malware... but it's still possible. For the full story on Mac malware, see my Mac Malware Guide. (Note that my pages contain links to other pages that promote my services, and this should not be taken as an endorsement of my services by Apple.)
Also, regarding whether the stock 13" MBP has enough memory for you, it is impossible to answer accurately without knowing what you plan on doing with your computer. If you're a graphic designer, for example, who needs a lot of memory and power, 4 GB may not be enough, and for that matter, a 13" MBP might not be right for you. What do you plan on doing with it?

Workflow general queries

In workflow defenition how a version can be defined ( I can see 0000 when i create a new workflow, how this can be changed or updated with new changes and how can i get 0001 number over there)
In workflow when i create a new task i can see many options for release status. Can u explain me the functionality of each status.
ie : Released
Implemented
Modeled
Obselete

Hello,
Please try be more specific with your topic and post one thread per question. This is for your benefit because people who know the answer are more likely to answer a question titled "What's the difference in release statuses?" than "workflow general queries"
Regarding your second question, this should explain it quite nicely:

EBS Basic Queries

Hi,
In EBS/Oracle Apps inaddition to different modules,Jobs are categorized as Functional or Technical or Technofuntional.
1) What are the job roles of Functional or Technical.Why funtional pay rate is little higher than technical.
2) Is it for every module the Funtional or Technical terms apply.Or Funtional is just allocated to Financial modules like GL,Payables.
3) I am new to EBS/Oracle Apps,looking for training materials on High level of EBS 12 and Financial Modules.Most of the Oracle documentation is huge with more theory and less printscreens.So even outside manuals will work for me.
Thanks in Advance.

Hi;
I'm looking for some advice on which Oracle certification I should start with. Let me first tell you about me and my business goals. I an new to the SQL world but have a firm grasp of the RDBMS. I have also worked as a Business Analyst for a company that is doing an Oracle upgrade including the EBS. I have had to do some very basic queries. My business goal is to improve my Oracle database skills.
I would like to add Business (Data) Analyst to my job description some day. I would like to be both a Business Analyst and a Business Data Analyst. I have been asked to work as a jr. DBA in the past, and would like to continue to pursue those options. Currently, my work seems to evolve around Oracle as opposed to the other businesses out there.
Given this information, which certification would you recommend I start with. Please let me know if you require additional information. This is my long term business goal so I will take as much time as needed to get it done. I was thinking I should start with *1Z0-051 SQL Fundamentals I* (11g). Any thoughts?You could get this certificate as a first steps. If you want to be expert on dba subjects than you need to go OCA and OCP certification path.
If you get to Business Analyst than you can go wiht ebs certification
http://blogs.oracle.com/certification/2008/08/oracle_ebusiness_suite_r12_cer.html
But dont forget those subjects are different from eachother and need different skills to become senior on those subjects
Hope it helps

Workflow Basic Settings

hi,
i have developed my WF's in our Sandbox,
now i want to create a complete new WF in our DEV,
could any one give me steps for Basic Settings for WF to be performed in DEV,
like prefix settings etc...
detailed steps...
Cheers,
Aditya.

Hi Aditya,
Run the automatic workflow customizing using transaction SWU3. You can get details about various steps on the right hand side.
Make sure that you do this with an user id with SAP_ALL auhorization.
Prefix settings you can do at
SAP Netweaver -> SAP Web App server -> Business mgmt -> SAP Business workflow -> Basic settings -> Number range maintenance -> Maintain prefix numbers

Workflow basics...Container / Rule / Workflow adn Binding

Hello friends,
I want to know the basics of Container Element and the process flow between workflow , Task and rule using Container element.
also tell me about the binding of each.
I would like to know the basics of each.
can anyone provide me some refrerenc material / link / documentation?

Hi,
Container is nothing but a variable which hold data . Assume that there is a binding between workflow to Task . Here you can pass value from Workflow to Task via containers. You can create container seperately on both sides and exchange datas during runtime. Container also hold values like to store them in a table which is called a Multiline container.
Binding is basically to connect one process with other. Ex. Binding between task and Method
Rule is used to sollect the agent to run the particular task . The standard rule will refer the Org structure to collect the agents. the custom rule can be used to collect them from a custom table.
Reward points if useful!

Workflow basics

Hi Experts,
I have few basic questions in workflow.
1. What is the exact reason for making a task as general. If we make as general & if the agent resolution fails then workitem is sent to all users in the organisation which is risky. But still I can see that as a common practice tasks are made as general. What is the benefit or exact reason behind this.
2. In workflow we have 4 deadlines - requested start, latest start, requested end & latest end. request start - does not have modelled deadline.
i can't see any difference between latest start, request end & latest end. All have same modelling options. Then why do we have 3 separate deadline options provided by SAP. What is the exact difference between these 3 deadline options.
KR,
B

Dear Eddie,
Thanks a lot for your reply.
If your agent assignment fails because a Rule did not return any agents or incorrect agents then the defalt behaviour is to send the work item to the possible agents. If it is a General task then it will go to everyone. However, if you use a Rule then make sure you check the option "Terminate if rule resolution has no result". The work item will go into error instead o going to all possible agents.
Assume i have not enabled Terminate if rule resolution has no result checkbox. So if rule resolution fails then it checks whether any possible agents are maintained. If yes then workitem is sent to possible agents. If no then it checks whether task is general. If yes then send workitem to everyone. Is my understanding correct..?
If you reuse a task in many workflows then it is a good idea to make it General because the possible agents for wach workflow it is used in may be different. Making it General saves having to constantly update the agent assignment. That is why the User Decision task TS00008267 is set to General.
I agree that possible agents can differ across workflows for same task. But for each task we will specify a different actual agent. Assume I am not maintaining any possible agents for a task (eg: 90000081)across all workflows. So as you said in this case there is no case of having different possible agents as I am not maintaining it. But actual agent for this task will be different for each workflow. Now please tell me whether this task can be made as general or not & the reason for it.
Latest start -> The latest date & time you want the work item started by. So if a work item is created and you set the latest start deadline (Notification, not modeled) to 2 days, then after 3 days an emails is sent to your intened user to inform them that the work item has not yet been started and is still sitting in the users inbox without any action.
Request end -> The date & time you would like the work item to be completed by. If the work item is not completed by this date & time (and use do not use Modeled) then an emails is sent to your intened user to inform them.
Latest end -> The date & time you want the work item to be completed by. And again if you do no use modeled then an email is sent to a particular user.
I can see difference in your definitions for each of the deadlines. But functionality wise what we do is we specify a deadline date & time for all 3 deadline types. Depending on whether its a notification or a modelled the deadline behaves. Now we can see that whatever the deadline date or time is, all 3 deadline types behave in same way once the time expires. Now where does the difference come betweeen these 3 deadline types functionality wise..?
If you use modeled then you can cancel work items and create new ones and escalate the process.
I agree that this can be done using process control. But still its the same across all 3 deadline types. What is the difference here..?

Extended Classic Scenarios Basic Queries

Dear SRM Experts,
I am working in the demo of extended classic scenario in SRM 7.0. I have some basic questions on it, Kindly reply for my doubts :
1. Do SRM-SUS Scenario applicable for all three procurements
     a. Self-Service Procurement
     b. Plan Driven Procurement
     c. Service Procurement.
or applicatbility only for Service Procurement .
2. Is it necessary to implement MM-SUS (Classic Scenario) first before implement of SRM-SUS? (Setting UP IDocs etc)
while i will only use XML Communication in XI(will select the Service_Procurement_Supplier_Enablement configuration scenario)
3. Is the configuration for Distribution Model and Partner Profiles necessary between SRM and SUS Communication in extended classic scenario?
Thanks.

Workflow which queries other object from Account

Hi,
I am quite new to Workflows.
I have to design a workflow for account ...I have tow objects Account and Employee(User)..I have a custom field called "code" which holds integer value in both of these objects.All i want is whenever user update the "code" field in accounts then the owner field in the same account should be updated with the Employee Name having that same code from Employee object. i.e it should query the employee object with the "code" field value and should fetch the corresponding employee name and this should e populated in owner field of Account.
How do i do that.Is it possible using workflow

Process controlled workflows- basic questions

Hi,
I am new to SRM 7 process controlled workflows.
I need some help designing the process controlled worlflow for n step approval of shopping cart.
If there are n conditions to be checked for a cart before deetrminig the no of approvers,then does that mean for a BO(in my case Shopping cart),there will be n process schemas or just one process schemas with n process levels?
Also under each process schema,I see multiple expressions/process levels.Does the column "level sequence no" determine the sequqnce of the task in the whole approval process?
Please advise.

Hi Saravanan,
Thanks for the prompt response!
Based on your inputs,I think I need to go with option 2 as based on the data in shopping cart e.g. product category,spend limit,total value and a/c assignment catgeory,the no of approvers are determined.
The flow is like:
cond 1: check the prod category,if true,add 1st approver.
cond 2: check reqeuseter spending limit with total value fo cart,if true,add further approver or approvers
cond 3: check a/c assgt category,if true for a particular catgeory,add new approver or approvers using RFC call.
cond 4: check ship-to-address,if a local address,add buyer as last approver.
For a given cart,one or multiple conditions from the above may be true.But the sequence for the cosnidtions is as defined above.
As per my understanding,I need to create only one process schema for "Shopping cart" and then create different BRF expressions for each of the above conditions right?E.g. cond1>level1,cond2>level2 etc...Please advise.
Also under process schema,process level configuration,I see one column for "resp resolvername".What do I need to enter here?My understanding was that this entry will be responsible for determining the approver values...Pls confirm.
Also if I go with option 2,you said BADI SAPSRM/BD_WF_RESP_RESOLVER' will have to be implemented for determining approvers.So the logic for determining the approvers for each of the above conditions will be implemented in this single badi?
Pls advise.
Also in the event linkage,I need to actiavte only the two entries /SAPSRM/CL_WF_PDO/SRM_PROCESS_START and /SAPSRM/CL_WF_PDO/WS40000014 right?
Also regarding the workflow template,is WS40000014 the only template for all business objects i.e. Shopping cart and PO?
Thanks again for your time and inputs.

Basic queries about Form Development

Hello Friends
i am bascially a web programmer and have done little bit VB programming and have idea of event driven programming.I have to help my younger cousin in his project assignment and i have no idea about few things which i think normal in all event driven programming.My Quries are as follows:
1)Retrieve values from text,comboBox
===============================
i create a form by using dataBlock wizard and it automaitcally creaed all text fields on form with dataBlock Name.
now i am writing a ButtonPRess trigger code and i want to retrieve textbox value by using following code
Declare
mytext varchar2(39)
BEGIN
mytext:=myFormBlock.textField
END;
but i am keep getting error identified myFormBlock.textField is not declared.How the hell do i retrieve the data?
2)Display data in ComboBox and manually create insert query on BUtton's press event.
===============================================================
is it possible that i manually create INSERT query in which i retrieve value from form's controls and execute it, rather calling create_Record method of form
kindly help me,i will be very grateful to you.

Thanks now i am encountering another issue.I am getting following error
FRM:40508:Unable to Insert Record
i have following table structure:
Name Null? Type
FACULTY_ID NOT NULL NUMBER(5)
FACULTY_NAME NOT NULL VARCHAR2(40)
and writing following code to insert record and execute query
INSERT INTO FACULTY ( FACULTY_ID,FACULTY_NAME ) VALUES (100,:BLK_FACULTY.FACULTY_NAME);
commit
and it is keep giving the error.One thnig i would like to tell that i ran Datablock Wizard and i didnt select Primary Field ,Faculty_id in that wizard for DISPLAY purpose yes i did select for data binding but not for display purpose because I want to send my sequence Id as Id entry.
Where am I going wrong?
Thanks

Basic queries on LMS

Dear friends,
Just a few points on which i need your advise:
1. Period in the hostname
If a device hostname contains a period (.), then LMS seems to detect it as a domain qualifier and only adds the text before the period into the DCR display name.
Do you recommend not having "." in the device hostname just as a suggestion?
Anyways, when i discovered using "FQDN" instead of "Host name", i was able to see the full hostname of the device in the DCR display name.
2. Is the CDP discovery module recursive in nature? In other words, does it only get into the seed device's cdp table and do a snmp get on the cdp neighbours on their discovered ip addresses or does it also get into their cdp table (the table of the cdp neigbours of the seed device) and do a snmp get on that devices cdp neighbor from there?
3. When i did a cdp discover, i mentioned only the seed device ip, and in the filters, i included the seed device ip and the other ip's that i wanted to restrict discovery on. My question is should i always include the seed device ip in the snmp target and in the include filters or just the devices that i want to discover in the filter and snmp target list? I got this doubt because i was not able to do a discovery with just the ip addresses of the interested devices. I also had to include the ip of the seed device in the filter list.
Thanks a lot
Gautam

1. Yes, as is RFC standard. The '.' is not valid for a hostname character. See http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc952 (the period can only be used to delimit the domain name portion of a hostname). Your hostnames must not contain periods. FQDNs are the combination of the hostname plus the domain name. These are perfectly valid for DCR display name values.
2. It is recursive so long as the discovery has not exceeded the configured hop count (if any), and a router boundary has not been reached (unless you have enabled jump router boundaries).
3. You must included ALL devices you wish to discover (including seeds) in your discovery include filters and in the SNMP credential target section.

Some basic queries on folks cloud experiences

Hi,
currently we have a range of Oracle databases, middleware and applications hosted internally on a LAN within a Data Center.
I was just wondering if folk had any experiences of migrating to a cloud model of delivery ?
Q1. Would you recommend hosting yourself rather than having everything Oracle hosted ?
Q2. Would you recommend self managed or Oracle Managed ?
Q3. What difference is there in a Private Cloud solution, hosted at your own Data Center and managed by your own staff from that of the traditional solution / model of simply deploying the various oracle servers in a LAN ? Why bother migrating to Cloud ?
Q4. I see you can Cloud host from 11gR1 onwards, so what's cloud specific about Release 12c or what makes it different from 11g in regards to Cloud ?
Q5. Are there other providers of cloud other than Oracle ? I see Amazon appear to be an Oracle Cloud partner but they seem to only offerring a limited range of Oracle databases and middleware ( an no Oracle Applications that I can see ) ?
many thanks,
Jim

4. Why we have to develpe the OAF pages in webui and VOs in server folders only? is there any specific reason?
There is no specific reason for this we can create our PG files in server folders as well and it would work fine. This is just a standard given by Oracle.*
5. Are there any other methods to call the methods in AM apart from using am.invoke("<method name>") from CO?
You should only use am.invoke .*
