Workflow Customizing

Hi
I want to know how to customize the workflow settings?
In Swu3, maintain background job for missed deadlines.
              Schedule background job with work item with errors.
             Schedule background job for condition evaluation.
           Schedule background job for deadline monitoring.
All the above are in red and are not getting activated.
How to activate the maintain runtime environment??
Also, I am getting the error: "Output Device not Known".
Regards.
Vishwa.

GRC 10.0 Workflow customizing problem

Hi experts,
We are working with GRC Access Control 10.0 and when doing the customizing tasks related with workflows we have an issue that doesnt let us continue.
Here is the background information.
We are in the "IMG/Governance Risk and Compliance/General Settings/Workflow/Perform Automatic Workflow Customizing" or easiest, we are in transaction code SWU3.
Here we have: Maintain Runtime Environment, all green, Maintain Definition Environment, all green, Maintain Additional Settings and Services, a red cross :(.
So, when opening the tree of our red cross task, we find that the only task that is with a red cross is "Maintain Web Server".
So, we execute the task, and here we have the following information:
Service = Webflow (Internet)
Address web server = http://<our web server>:8000/
Protocol Address = HTTP
Path of service = sap/bc/workflow_xml/?
URL = http://<our web server>:8000/sap/bc/workflow_xml/?
And here is something that kept our attention. When we push the button to test the URL, our IE opens a page but it is in blank (it doesnt show anything).
As we saw that, we thought that the service was not active and so went to transaction SICF and checked it, and yes, when you test the service, it doesnt work.
We finally, checked support packages upgrades and went to SP5 in our GRC server and SP5 in both plugins in our SAP ERP server.
And, here we are. Have no idea what else to do or check.
Any suggestion?
Thanks very much in advance.

Hi,
I have just checked my SICF settings and found that we have not actually activated those services at all and our NWBC sessions work fine now.
Have you activated the sap/bc/nwbc and sap/bc/webdynpro services?
Also, have you activated the required BC sets for the standard content on Access Controls? This removes the need to do a lot of the basic setups but you still need to follow through the event linkages to check the successful generation etc.

Urgent: Issue in Automatic workflow Customizing.

hi,
Can someone please help me with this issue in Automatic workflow customizing ( SWU3)
When I try to execute the step
Maintain Runtime Environment > Schedule Background Jobs with missed deadlines
I get the error message saying
"Output Device "" not known"
Can someone help me how to resolve this? This is very urgent for me.
Regards,
Sam K

The guidelines tell you not use the word urgent in your message title, so please don't. Personally I try to not answer such questions until at least one day has passed, giving you some time to cool off and perhaps solve the problem on your own.
I can't recall seing this message myself, but my guess is that either your user or the user WF-BATCH (if the job is being scheduled with that user) has a default printer (output device) that is not defined in the system.

Sharepoint 2013 designer workflow custom sendemail activity

Does anybody know sharepoint 2013 designer workflow custom sendemail activity. Current OOB sendemail action from designer workflow cancels the entire workflow when sendemail fails.
MCTS Sharepoint 2010, MCAD dotnet, MCPDEA, SharePoint Lead

Hi Amit,
What error did you meet when you used the OOB ‘Send Email’ action?
I suggest you fix the error rather than creating a new workflow ‘Send Email’ activity.
Of course, you can also customize a workflow activity to send email, there are two acticles about creating a custom workflow activity for your reference:

Workflow Customizing Error: "Workflow: No workflow definition found"

Hi experts,
I am currently configuring Workflow on our newly installed ECC 6.0 using the Automatic Workflow Customizing (SWU3).
I was able successfully executed all necessary items including the RFC destination but when i choose the 'Start Verification Workflow', this error appears: "Workflow: No workflow definition found".
I tried logging in and out of the system, and repeating the execution of each item but the same error still occurs.
I read a thread that says it might do something with WF-BATCH but i was able to set it as the RFC destination; WF-BATCH has the following settings in SU01:
Username: WF-BATCH
User Type: System
User Group: SUPER
Authorization: SAP_ALL, SAP_NEW
Hope somebody can help me resolve this issue as soon as possible.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Dex

Hi Dex,
Have you maintained the Number ranges in Transaction SWU3?
If so, then test the workflow from SWDD itself.
I think you gave the wrong workflow ID in the SWUS transaction.
First try with SWDD and then check it in SWUS Transaction.
Thanks,
Viji.

Problems with Automatic Workflow Customizing

Hi!
I am having problems with Automatic Workflow Customizing (SWU3). I am trying to execute "Configure RFC Destination" manually. I receive the message "Synchronization of passwords failed".
We are using CUA and it is therefor not possible to create the user from SWU3 which means that WF-BATCH has been created in CUA with a pw which is then filled in by me when executing "Configure RFC Destination".
WF-BATCH has authorization SAP_NEW, SAP_ALL
My user also has SAP_NEW and SAP_ALL and usergroup SUPER.
Does anyone know what might be the problem?
Sincerley
Anders Öhrling

Hello Anders,
Check if the user is locked in SU01. Then check if your user has been created in CUA.
It is recommended to delete WF_BATCH. The system will auto create the user ID WF-BATCH and synchronize the password.
Do let me know if your problem is resolved.
Thank you.

SWU3 - Automatic workflow customizing

Hi All,
We have a situation where all users are receiving error messages in their SBWP inbox. most of them are related to error processing with IDoc. the user inboxes are flooded with error message and they are not able to open their SBWP.
It seems that in SWU3 - automatic workflow customizing setting "Idoc interface" is active.
Path : SWU3 > "Classify Task as General" > IDoc Interface (checked).
We need to deactivate this Idoc interface but we are not able to do the same. Can some one let us know how to do this.
Also if there is some other cause of this problem then please let us know. Currently we are purging the error workitems but they keep on generating in the background.
Please help.
Regards,
Rohit

Hi,
We need to deactivate this Idoc interface but we are not able to do the same. Can some one let us know how to do this.
For this purpose you need to contact BASIS team to deactivate this.
Alternate solution :
Get the task id of that workitem. Open it through tcode PFTC and make the task attribute form to "General Task" to "Forwarding not allowed".
Run PFCT
Enter tour Task id ( eg. TS00008068 , please remove leading TS )
Addition data >>> Agent assignment >>> Maintain >>> Attributes
Form the next run of the workflow workitem will not reach to SBWP.
For the workitems you need to delete mannualy or forward it to a idle user.
Thanks and regards,
SNJY

How to execute automatic Workflow customizing settings in swu3 transaction

Hi Folks,
We are trying to execute automatic Workflow customizing settings in swu3 transaction.My basis team has done all settings except maintain prefix numbers" and "check entries from HR control tables.Basis team is asking us to do these settings(either functional/abaper). When I am trying to execute check entries from HR control tables am getting an error.Please find attached screenshot of the same.
Maintain Prefix numbers settings is maintained but still it is showing red.
Please suggest how should I be doing this.
Regards
Jaya

Hi Jaya,
Maintain Prefix Number - As far as my knowledge concerned Prefix number is required to create the Org determination rule. Org. determination rule contains the eight digits, in which first 3 digits come from the prefix number.
1. Use the T-Code SWU3
2. Go to Maintain Definition Environment
3. Click on Maintain Prefix number and click f8 (execute).
4. Create new entry with
     a) three digit prefix number (unique)
     b) Sap system
     c) Client
     d) Package
I hope this will help you. Kindly attach the screen shot of the error.
Regards,
Dinesh.

Automatic Workflow Customizing

HI!
I am doing configurations in BI-system for the purpose to create connection between BI-system and SAP source system. According to documentation I must "Perform automatic workflow customizing". May I omit this?
Thanks,

hi,
condition evaluation job, searches for forks in workitems and logically deletes branches which are no longer needed. Suppose you have a fork, 1 out of 2, at the momen of creation 2 workitems are created, if one of these are met, the second one still exists, untill the conditon job runs it then logically deletes the not needed branch.
event queue, is something like workload balancing (see also tr SWEQADM) basically it consists of 2 parts, the interval and the number of events. suppose the interval is every 5 minutes and the number of events is 100. Suppose at one time 1000 events are fired, if the event queue was not set, the system would handle all of these events this has a high impact on a productive environment, with the event queue, the events are handled in bundles of 100 every 5 minutes.
Kind regards, Rob Dielemans

Automatic Workflow Customizing needs to be undone

Hello all,
I am embarrased to report that I have caused problems in our production system by doing automatic workflow customizing using transaction SWU3. We are on ECC5.0 and do use workflow on a limited basis. We were planning to make more use of it, which is why I was looking at it. I was looking at SAP note 332149.
How can I reverse the damage I've caused? SBWP inboxes are full on workflow items - 900,000 items in one. Short dumps are occurring with alarming frequency.
Thanks for any help anyone can provide.
Regards,
Paul

My question has not been answered, but the problem has been curtailed.
What I eventually was able to find out, what that after doing the automatic workflow configuration, workflow went and acted upon all the old "Status 29" idocs in our system. I had to run report SWWDHEX to delete all these idocs. Once deleted, all inboxes returned to normal.

Undoing automatic workflow customizing swu3

Hi *,
I did an automatic workflow customizing with transaction SWU3 on SAP R/3 System. Is it possible to undo the workflow customizing automatically?
BR, Rene.

Hello Rene,
No, but I'm curious to know why you would want to do this?
Undoing the customising is not difficult. If you want to prevent anything workflow related from running, just disable the RFC destination WORKFLOW_LOCAL_<client>. You can also unschedule all the jobs such as deadline monitoring etc from the workflow transaction menu.
Cheers,
Mike

SOA Suite 11.1.1.2: Human workflow: custom application: Attachment: getCont

Hello,
i am building a custom application for the human workflow component in SOA Suite 11.1.1.2.
I am able to add attachments to the created tasks. But when i try to get the contents with the function AttachmentType.getContent(), i always receive a null pointer.
I have looket into the database and there are the entries in a blob in the content-column of the table wfattachment. But there is the contents binary, although i put it to the task Base64Encoded.
Can someone help me to get the contents of the attachments?
Best regards and thanks a lot
Friedrich

Thank you.
I must have changed something by accident. I would never had caught that. I reversed the changes in the WebLogic Console and all was right in the world. The app deployed correctly and the Human Task Approval Form worked flawlessly.
I guess I do some things right. ;-)
