Workflow Deadline management

Hi Experts,
I am new to workflow.
I want to know regarding workflow deadline management.
What are exactly means of "Latest start", "Request end", "Request end", & "Latest end".
Please explain with example.
Regards,
Chandu

Requested start
If the work item is created before the requested start, it is assigned the status waiting.
When the requested start is reached, the system sets the work item to status ready.
If the work item is created after the requested start, it is assigned the status ready immediately.
Latest end, latest start, requested end
You can either notify someone or model a reaction in the workflow definition for when
the deadline is reached.
Example: I will take a simple example. Suppose we have a workflow which gets triggered
whenever we receive an order IDOC from partner. Now this workflow create sales order,
sales order delivery & goods issue document.
Now the business has following requirements:
1. Sales order should be created on the same day when we have received order.
2. Delivery should be created only after the two days of receiving order.
Now suppose we have received order at 09:00 AM on 1st July 2008.
Now for the first requirement we can specify latest start deadline for "Create sales Order".
Deadline period we can give as 09:00 + 5 hrs. we can also specify requested end as 09:00 + 15 Hrs.
While the latest end deadline for this task should be 09:00 + 1 Day(24 Hrs).
You can either notify someone or model a reaction in the workflow definition for when the anyone
of these deadline is reached.
Again for the second requirement we can specify requested start deadline as 09:00 + 48 hours.
So If the work item is created before the requested start, it will be assigned the status waiting.
When the requested start is reached, the system will set the work item to status ready.
If the work item is created after the requested start, it is assigned the status ready immediately.

  • Deadline management in Workflow

    Hi,
      My requirement is that ,for a particular workitem in a persons inbox, the deadline has been reached then a notification mail has to be sent to the person, i do not want to use the deadline management already available, can i do this by incorporating my own logic? if so then please tell me how to do this, plz mail me at [email protected]
    Regards
    Naren

    You can but you have to use the same basic principles which SAP uses for deadline monitoring.
    1. somewhere in the workitem the deadline date/time must be present
    2. A job must run every x hours/minutes, which searches for these dates and checks if the deadline is reached, and in the job you can fire an event which the workflow waits for via a parallel fork 1 of 2 in which the second branch is a wait for event step.
    Why doný you use the standard deadline monitoring instead, it's a bit faster and cheaper.

  • IPhoto 08 and Photoshop - suggestions on workflow and managing PSD files

    Hi Everyone,
    I'm a long-time Photoshop user, and a recent convert to Mac (BTW - I love my new Mac), therefore I am also new to iPhoto 08. I must say that I actually enjoy how iPhoto manages my pictures, as it is not all that different from how I've been managing my pics manually for years (by year, by event, etc.). I've read the various discussion topics on how to set up and use Photoshop as an external editor from iPhoto, and have not had any problems up to now.
    I'm now looking for suggestions on workflow and managing my PSD files. I apologize if this is a little long, but I want to make sure I explain the problem clearly. Here's the scenario:
    - From iPhoto, I choose to edit an existing JPEG file in the external editor, Photoshop.
    - I perform my edits (including advanced edits with layers etc.)
    - I do both a "Save As..." and a "Save". That way, I "Save" the flattened JPEG back to my iPhoto library properly, and "Save As..." a PSD file in case I want to do further edits on the image later (days, weeks, months later).
    I'm looking for suggestions on where to put my PSDs. For now, I am saving the PSD to my desktop (using max compatibility), and then importing the PSD into my iPhoto library (into the same Event as the original JPEG). However, this leaves me with 2 copies of the same picture: 1 JPEG, and 1 PSD.
    The problem is, I now want to go back and do more tweaks on the PSD, the end result of which will make the JPEG version out-of-date. I can either
    1) Open both the PSD and JPEG versions at the same time, tweak the PSD, then copy and paste the flattened layers on top of the JPEG version and "Save"
    2) Open only the PSD, tweak, and save a copy as a JPEG onto my desktop and re-import into iPhoto.
    Although a little tedious, both options seem to work. Are there any other options? What do you suggest? I'm curious to see how others manage this.

    I don't have a solution for you (sorry) but I'd like to comment because I'm in a similar boat. However instead of saving PSD files to the desktop, I've been advised to save these to TIFF format in Photoshop by a professioal photographer friend of mine (I think he feels its a more universal file format than PSD for archival purposes). The downside is the files are huge.
    I imported high resolution jpegs into iPhoto. I then use Photoshop to edit and save the flattened jpeg version back to iPhoto (thankfully, keywords are preserved this way). I recently realized that I need to save a copy of the edited file in a lossless format like TIFF or PSD. Unfortunately when I save the file to TIFF and import it back into iPhoto, keywords are lost. This is a drag.
    What I am trying to figure out is how I can retain my keyword info in the edited archival version. Any tips?
    I'm beginning to question whether I should import my photos in to Photoshop (or PS Bridge) first, save the original for archival purposes, do the majority of editing and save a TIFF/PSD file and then import this file into iPhoto for keywording, further editing, downsizing, etc.

  • Workflow deadline

    Hi , We had workflow deadline activated for workflows. It was modeled and had some issues with role resolution. The relevant background jobs were scheduled and running when we found out there was an issue with the role resolution. Intrim solution was to stop the background jobs.
    Now we have resloved the role resolution issue and want the jobs to be running again.
    Our problem is we dont want the workitems which are still not approved after 30 days. Latest start was set to only 5 days. We only want the escalation of workitems which are not worked on for the last 5 days and not the last month..
    SWI2_DEAD does not provide with the list of workitems which should have been escalated.
    Kind Regards,
    Silver

    Hi surjith kumar 
    Thanks for your immediate response but the link does not work.
    Could you please explain how can i find the workitems which are still not worked on and should have been escalated, had the job been running.
    Also is there a table i can set the status to something so that all the workitems donot get escalated when i run the job again.
    Kind Regards,

  • Workflow Process Manager - Could not route message to WfProcMgr with regist

    Hi,
    We recently started getting a strange error in our DEV environment:
    Could not route message to WfProcMgr with registered key (null)
    This is happening with the Server Component, Workflow Process Manager, and all services associated with this.
    We are using Siebel v7.8.2.8. If anybody can provide any pointers, it would be of great help!
    Thanks

    Hi Trym,
    Thanks for your time!
    The target workflow that I am triggering from the WfProcMgr is a custom workflow and it does not have a BO defined. So, the Object Id should not be a mandatory field (I am in any case, not passing any Object Id). Nevertheless, whether I have an Object Id or I do not, I would assume that the Workflow would at least get triggered. I donot see as to why the Workflow would not trigger at all.
    Though Siebel does act weird at times, I think the error I am getting is still somehow related to the actual cause! I would really like to understand as to where is this Registered Key stored in Siebel that it is continually searching for.
    *When you say "Workflow Process Manager server component directly" do you mean like in a eScript
    call in e.g. a Business Service?*
    Please refer the second part of my previous post for this. I am trying through Server Requests BS and through Workflow Policies.
    Thanks.

    Check the component logs for errors. If that what you find doesn't help you fixing the problem, then increase the log
    levels and restart the components.

  • How to use the SAP calendar in Workflow deadline time.

    Hi
    I’m setting a deadline time (LatestEnd, LatestStart) as an expression for some tasks in several workflows, but there’s an issue when this time is reached on holiday or weekend because the deadline for the Workflow have to be moved to the next working day, does anybody knows how can I set it up without ABAP programming, just workflow tools or WF functions?.
    I already made a function to make this calculation but I'd like to know if this can be done directly by SAP (workflow) standard.
    Thanks a lot 
    Regards
    Felipe Uribe

    Try to make use of the following Function module:
    DATE_CONVERT_TO_FACTORYDATE
    FACTORYDATE_CONVERT_TO_DATE
    LAST_FACTORYDATE_GET
    In your attribute determination.
    Thanks

  • Bridge/Prelude/Premiere/Encore, Arrrgh! Workflow/Asset Managment overload! Help.

    I've been viewing a tutorial series in addition to some random one's on the web, mostly covering functionality, but what isn't clear to me (yet) has to do with asset management and workflow. I know enough to understand that these two areas are the most important aspects of the whole process; without organized asset management and an orderly, systematized, hierarchical approach to accomplishing tasks the creative side of things will suffer dramatically at the worst time.
    Regarding asset management, I have three separate drives for for audio, video, and stills. All the files reside in their original locations except for video files that I originally had stored on my stills drive. These video files were copied to my video drive into the Adobe Folder> Premiere Projects Folder> Project Name Folder. In addition, I have a folder on the video drive called "Raw Footage" that I'm using for random footage unrelated to any project; sort of a personal stock footage resource.
    As a practice project for the tutorial series I'm using assets from a 45 day Rail Pass tour I took a few years ago. Assets include SDDV. m2ts, and mov, files with different sample rates, in addition to jpg and psd files.
    Where would the following programs come into play and at what point in the workflow does the transition from one to the other begin and/or overlap?
    Bridge
    Prelude
    Premiere
    Encore
    Where does Bridge come into play and when?
    There are folders with m2ts files on my stills drive that I've copied and pasted to my video drive. Should I have used Prelude to ingest and "Transfer Clips To Destination" ("destination" being my video drive)? Should I have transcoded to a less resource hungry format and, if so, does Prelude create an EDL that can be used to conform the final edit replacing the low rex clips files the the original higher rez files?
    I know I have to capture SDDV as DV (not HDV) with Premiere but what else do I need to know about such capture? As far as actual editing goes the tutorials are covering a lot of that.
    Eventually I'll use Encore to author a proper DVD that is compatible with every DVD or Blu-ray player. Right?
    I guess the question could be, "What is yout multi asset workflow?"
    I feel like such a noob.
    Thanks.

    Michael,
    I thought that might be the case. Sigh!
    Well, as far as I can tell, if I were you, I would offer it with an alI I-Frame option first. That would probably be the easiest to implement cleanly. Those who can shoot that way would probably start shooting that way. Me included.
    Then, take the AVCHD from a few of the most popular cameras, Canon, Nikon and of course, the Panasonic DMC-GH3 (my camera) and whatever video cameras are popular right now. Back up to the beginning of the long GOP and finish at the end of the long GOP. There is no need to get too specific with frames for subclips. After all, anyone who does not leave handles on their subclips while ingesting gets what they deserve anyway. In fact, there should be an option to always add one second of handles to every subclip. Personally I would leave that on as a default.
    As for me, I recently posted a few videos using different codecs for people to download to test them. The links can be found in this forum post along with a short discussion: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1239519?tstart=0
    I usually use 50Mb/s 60p using the MOV format, but if I was to shoot anything serious, I would probably shoot 72Mb/s 24p. Keep in mind, that if Adobe made it possible to ingest subclips without transcoding,I would change what I shot to all I-Frame for almost everything, either at 30p or 24p. And if you did it for my 60fps MOV files, I would be ecstatic.
    I don't shoot AVCHD but I suppose that so many people do that the moment you gave the feature to all I-Frame shooters, there would be a huge clamor for AVCHD.
    In my opinion, this could be a major game changer and everyone who could would start using Prelude without a second thought. Like photographers are flocking to Lightroom 5, this would be the videographers Lightroom. Reelroom? Naw. Prelude is a good enough name.

  • Workflow  - Schedule Manager problem

    Hi,
    I have configured a flow definition task in Schedule Manager (SAP 4.7, IDES system). After the immediately execution I got a very strange dump:
    Syntax error in program "CL_SWF_RUN_WIM_LOCAL==========CP
    The following syntax error occurred in the program
    CL_SWF_RUN_WIM_LOCAL==========CP :
    "You can only define attributes in the PUBLIC, PROTECTED or PRIVATE sec"
    Error in ABAP application program.
    The current ABAP program "CL_SWF_RUN_WIM_FACTORY========CP" had to be
    terminated because one of the statements could not be executed.
    This is probably due to an error in the ABAP program.
    How can I manage the workflow integration? As I see this is not a SCMA problem, maybe this is a workflow setting problem!?
    Any help in this much appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Miki

    Hi Mikkel,
    Thanks your answer. In my view SWU3 is OK:
    - Maintain runtime environment is green
    - Maintain definition environment is green
    - Maintain additional settings and services is green
    - Classify tasks as general is green
    Have you got any other idea? Unfortunately, I tried this flow definition in an other SAP 4.7 IDES sandbox system, but I got this dump again.
    Kind regards,
    Miklos

  • Workflow deadline expression problem

    Hi;
    I have a problem and I must solve .
    I created workflow and defined latest end (deadline) for activity .
    I selected refer data/time tabs and expression.
    I filled data and time as dynmically  in other words deadline change according to program.But workflow don't accept dynmical data and time.It doesn't work.
    WHY?

    I am passing the date and time as event parameters
    if I write like that;
       refer fate/time =expression
       date = &lv_date&
       time = &lv_time&
       deadline doesn't work.
    if I write like that;
        refer fate/time =work item creation
        date = &lv_date&
        time = &lv_time&
      in this shape; if I triggered workflow firstly ,deadline work BUT if I triggered workflow  secondly ,deadline does't work because lv_date and lv_time's value doesn't change.Values remain the same.
    I don't understand WHY?

  • Customized workflow-Credit management

    This is in reference to a business requirement wherein Client wants to
    bypass standard setting of OVA8 transaction to trigger customized
    workflow by using field USER1
    In the configuration of OVA8 below fields are set in section
    'Released documents are still unchecked'
    -Deviation in %: 3
    -Number of days: 30
    Now the above two fields has direct impact on USER1 field during credit
    management recheck.
    Requirement is to trigger customized workflow whenever a condition type
    ZCRE in a SO is changed or deleted and should not depend on number of
    days maintained in config.
    Because of the field(Deviation in % and Number of days) maintained the
    system doesnt trigger another credit check untill the number of days is
    not met i.e 365.
    Request to help in triggerring customized workflow whenever condition
    type ZCRE is changed/deleted in SO and that can be done at anytime.

  • Workflow, Form Manager and email question...

    Hi All,
    We have a client with 36,000 world-wide users of Form Manager. They need all 36,000 users to default to getting an email when a work item hits their worklist. The default is normally that this option be "un-checked"
    until each an every user goes to the Form Manager site, chooses
    "Preferences" and then "Workflow" and then places a check-mark beside
    "Send me an email when assigned a task".
    They can't depend on getting all 36,000 employees to go to Form Manager
    and do this, so a work item will surely get assigned to someone who
    hasn't done this, and will never know they got a work item in their
    worklist.
    Does anyone know how we can change the default for everyone so that this
    option is automatically "checked" for each of the 36,000 users?
    Thanks.

    Hello -
    Firstly you should go into the AdminUI component and make sure the email settings are correctly set there - the settings in the admin for email notifications will be applied to a new user. A new user is either a user who logs in for the first time or who is assigned work in a user qpac.
    Secondly for users who have already logged in you could write a simple db update statement to change all of the user's preferences. STMT would look like this:
    UPDATE tb_workflow_user SET email_task_assigned = 1
    There are other columns for the user preferences in that table as well. Also note that these fields may be of type boolean on databases which support it, others use a bit or short type.
    Good luck!

  • Using OIM Workflow to Manage Requests for ORM

    Has anyone used OIM as a workflow engine for users to request creation (not approval) of new roles in ORM? If so, what types of information are presented to the requestor (e.g., list of IT Roles)? What types of information are solicited from the requestor?

    Let me clarify my need.
    When a manager in a business line identifies the need for a new business role, I need a workflow mechanism by which they can request a new role be created in ORM and specify the IT Roles that should comprise that business role. This request step is separate from the actual role definition itself that would occur in ORM after the request was approved.
