Workflow directly from ME51N

Hello,
we created a own workflow for handling the PR releases, which works as planned.
When we started with the standard workflow (WS20000077) it worked like that:
Save the PR (ME51N) -> if the user who saved the PR is the same user who has to approve the PR, it directly showed the approval screen in the PR (ME51N). Which was great!
The Problem:
Now, with my new workflow, the first workitem is always send to the Business Workplace Inbox, also the user for the first activity is the same as the one who saved the PR.
We start the workflow with the event BUS2105.RELEASESTEPCREATED.
The checkbox "Advance with dialog" in the first activity is set.
Is there anything else which must be set, so the user gets the first acitivity directly on the screen after saving in ME51N?
Thanks for your help.

Hello Kerstin Rothlehner !
      Your agent name is &_WF_INITIATOR&.That's why, the work item goes to the person who created it for approval.
      If you change the agent details, the purchase requisition approval screen will be sent to the particular agent.
     Please be advised that you incorporate the changes only in custom workflow and not in standard workflow.

S.Suresh.

Best practice for workflow triggering from Web Dynpro UI

Hello, workflow community!
I'm working on a task which allow to trigger the workflow by clicking a button in Web Dynpro UI. As always, there are multiple ways to do that, for instance, to use SAP Workflow API (SAP_WAPI_START_WORKFLOW) or to raise an event upon the button click, which will be caught by workflow template.
In my opinion, the optimal solution is to call FM, which will call ABAP-class, raising an event, which, in turn, will be caught by workflow template. In this case, FM will service kind of wrapper, where we can implement some additional checks if needed.
But the question is what approach is the best practice — to raise an event or use SAP_WAPI_*?
Thanks.

let combine, use SAP_WAPI_CREATE_EVENT
usually I would not recommend creating a workflow directly (SAP_WAPI_START_WORKFLOW) since when I look for workflows in a system I usually start from SWE2 (the event linkage) which uses events so the workflow you start by SAP_WAPI_START_WORKFLOW will not be seen there, also SWE2 gives you better control for starting the workflow, you can easily deactivate an event linkage. finding where you called the workflow by SAP_WAPI_START_WORKFLOW will be more difficult and deactivation will require a code change.
so use events, and start them by SAP_WAPI_CREATE_EVENT
Also pay attention that you have a check function module option in SWE2.

Lightroom 1.1 + Vista = No RAW import direct from canon 400D

My laptop runs on XP and my desktop on Vista and I have a 400D, lightroom 1.1, PS CS2 and camera raw 4.1. I've just migrated my workflow into lightroom which i'm enjoying.
Both computers read and edit RAW files fine and i've exported and imported catlogs between them.
My laptop imports RAW files from my camera but my desktop (vista) says that there are no files to import. Either i've done something wrong in setting up lightroom or there appears to be some kind of driver problem.
I can see them in windows, copy them off my camera in windows and then import them in lightroom from my computer, but not directly from my camera

The same problem:

Why is MP4 (MPEG4) Compression direct from FCP (vs from DVD) lower quality?

I am creating video podcasts and I have been fighting this issue for a couple weeks.
When I compress using mpeg4 directly from QuickTime I get unacceptable pixilation surrounding the subjects but when compress the same file from DVD using handbrake or iSquint it looks just fine. I am using the same settings.
Creating a DVD for each compression is silly work around. Does anybody have any advice here?
Note: when I compress using h.264 from FCP it looks fine, however I have decided against the h.264 codec at this time due to the processing toll it puts on the end user that can cause jumpy playback.
Power Book G4 Mac OS X (10.3.9) FCP 4.5

I would rather use mp4 than h.264 and I have seen videos (eg. tikibartv) that look great with the mp4 codec.
Does anybody have any advice here?
I take it you've tried a workflow which emulates the site you referenced, such as...
File > Export > Using QuickTime Conversion
In the Format drop-down, select MPEG-4
Click on the Options... button and...
Alter Image Size to 320x240.
Change the Data Rate to 500
Set Frame Rate to 15
Alter the Key Frame property to 75
Click OK
After you've selected the right destination folder, go ahead and press Save.
This will produce a .mp4 file. If you want to make this a .mov file, change the extension in the Browser.
...and that hasn't given you the results you're looking for?

Can't Import Directly from Card Reader or Camera anymore

I am using aperture 2.x and all of a sudden I can't import directly from my G9, 30D or San Disk card reader anymore. I have to copy files locally first to make this work.
This is what happens: I can see and select the thumbnails off the card just fine but when I select all and import it immediately says "0 files imported".
Any ideas?

For the record, the workflow you describe is a good way to lose image data. The anomalies that you are experiencing should be a clue; you could just as easily be losing image data.
I guess it just depends on how important the images are to each individual photog,

Not able to import canon raw CR2 photos direct from a camera into Lightroom 5.5

I’ve just purchased Lightroom 5 and updated it with the latest version 5.5, and I am running windows 7. Everything appears to be working fine, however I am not able to import Canon CR2 raw files directly from my camera. Importing JPEG files directly from camera works fine, however Lightroom can not find any CR2 raw files?
If I copy the raw files through the Canon utility tool on to my hard drive, it appears I am then able to import into my Lightroom catalogue, as Lightroom is then able to see these files on my hard drive. However why can not Lightroom see these files on my Canon 450D camera and import directly from there in Lightroom?
Are there any setting or preference I need to change to be able to do this?

Are you able to import 450D raw files into LR5.5via USB connection and are you on Windows 7/8?
I agree with your observations concerning SD vs CF card fragility, but they also have a limited number of insertions before failure.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USB#Durability
The newer Micro-USB receptacles are designed for up to 10,000 cycles of insertion and removal between the receptacle and plug, compared to 1,500 for the standard USB and 5,000 for the Mini-USB receptacle. This is accomplished by adding a locking device and by moving the leaf-spring connector from the jack to the plug, so that the most-stressed part is on the cable side of the connection. This change was made so that the connector on the less expensive cable would bear the most wear instead of the more expensive micro-USB device.
All my Canon cameras have micro-USB connectors. With one (1) insertion and removal per day that equals 10,000 days, or about 27 years before end-of-life! SD and CF cards are also rated at ~10,000 insertion and removals, but more prone to damage from static electricity and handling due to the exposed contacts and fragility of CF card sockets.
So there's no real advantage from the camera wear perspective to using a card reader. I'd say use whatever method is easiest for your workflow, but handle memory cards with care and avoid exposing them to static discharge. Ground yourself to something metal before removing memory cards and inserting them into the card reader, especially in cold Winter months.
BTW- I helped design one of the first semiconductor DRAM memory systems back in 1970. We killed more memory chips than I care to count before we discovered they were easily damaged by static electricity. Today's ICs have built-in protection, but you can still damage them with a big enough static ZAP!

After effects in the cloud: working directly from the cloud desktop folder?

hi guys, just wondered if anyone had any experience in working directly from the cloud desktop folder?
any pros or cons?
thought it would be good to have an extra backup system and be able to work from another computer like my laptop instead of copying files around etc..
any thoughts?
thanks

Why would anyone? Adobe's cloud storage is complete garbage and even if you were to use alternate systems like Dropbox you still have to wait until the files actually sync, which means that during that time you cannot safely load and save them without risking the files getting damaged. Conversely, once they are damaged and you turn on your other computer and they sync you end up with nothing useful at all because previous, potentially intact file versions get overwritten. Sorry, none of this makes any sense. I'd never entrust any critical work to any of these workflows beyond manually uploading a zipped collected version of the project at the end of the day, but strictly separate from the actual working files/ folders.

Problem pasting artwork direct from AI

Hi,
I am new to InDesign from Quark . Absolutely loving the workflow in InDesign. Making my life much easier!
I understand that you can paste elements directly from AI into InDesign and that it embeds then rather than links them. This works fine however when I resize any reasonably complex artwork InDesign seems to move elements within my artwork around.
I have tried outlining everything etc before pasting it in. This doesn't seem to make any difference.
Any ideas?

While you can copy/paste simple illustrations and get editable paths in ID if you want them (to use as a frame, for example) Illustrator's capabilities are far more complex than those in ID and the translation is not always good for more complex drawings. You may get an image instead.
I almost never copy from Illustrator. If it's simple enough that it would work, I can probably get by drawing it directly in ID, and If I can't, it's probably complex enough to require placing instead.

Can't open CUP link directly from email notification ( GRC 5.3 )

Hi Everybody,
I am working for a client where GRC 5.3 is installed.
When we submit a user request in CUP , a link is automatically generated in a mail and send to the manager/ approver based on the workflow. But the problem is that client is not able to open the link directly from the mail. They need to open it everytime manually through browser. This happens in Dev system only. Where as in Prd system they do not face any issue. They can directly open link from mail automatically send from CUP.
Can someone guide where is the problem in terms of setting because Dev and Prd is behaving different way.We are unable to find exact location where we need to make change in Dev grc. Please help.
Regards,
Kakali

Hi Kakali,
You must have different configuration Dev and Prd. Can you check the application and redirection URL link under SMTP server link? I think the problem resides there as CUP uses those links in the email.

Get workflow tasks from WorkflowInstance?

Hi!
How do I get the workflow tasks associated with a specific workflow instance? Or can I get the workflow tasks directly from the list item itself?
WorkflowServicesManager workflowServiceManager = new WorkflowServicesManager(web);
WorkflowInstanceService workflowInstanceService = workflowServiceManager.GetWorkflowInstanceService();
WorkflowInstanceCollection workflowInstances = workflowInstanceService.EnumerateInstancesForListItem(item.ParentList.ID, item.ID);
// TODO: Get tasks...
Thanks,
Kiram

Hi,
Late reply, but I ended up using the following SPQuery to retrieve the task items associated with the specific SharePoint 2013 workflow instance:
SPQueryspTaskQuery =
newSPQuery{
Query = "<Where><Eq><FieldRef Name='WF4InstanceId' /><Value Type='Text'>"+
workflowInstance + "</Value></Eq></Where>"};

Error when printing a PDF direct from SAP archive

Hi together,
I try to print a PDF direct from SAP archive and I got the error ""C:\Program files\Adobe\Acrobat 7.0\reader\AcroRd.exe" /p /h" not found. In the internet I found several topics which describe this way to print a PDF without open the Acrobat Reader.
The customizing for document management (Local application) seems o.k. If I remove in the registry the parameters /h /p for print, Acrobat Reader will open and show the document if I use the print button in SAP.
Have anybody an idea what the reason is?
Thank you.

How do I delete songs directly from my iPhone 5s?

How can I delete specific songs directly from my iPhone 5s? I do not have a personal computer to download the iTunes app. I need to make room for the new iOS 8.0 update.

You can delete individual tracks by swiping/dragging across them from right-to-left on the song selection screen in the Music app. But check that the single/album is still available in your country's store, if the rights-holder has removed it then you won't be able to redownload it (and similarly if you delete any apps, films etc, they could also have been removed from the store)

Hi,
Please try to reset the Internet Explorer settings or open Internet Explorer in In-Private browsing and then check if this issue occurs.
If the issue persists, please try to access SharePoint in another computer with Office 2013 and then check if this issue occurs. Or repair Office and restart your server.

How can I change the source file so it is direct from external hard drive?

I am trying to make a movie on imovie of a snowboarding trip that I went on, there is around 80 to 100 gig of mp4 movies that will not fit on my computer that I have stored on my external harddrive. I had the movie half finished then found I could do no more as I had no space left in my mac. I had to delete everything and start again but I'm not doing this until I can find a way of changing the source file so I can take them direct from my external hard drive as to not use up all my computers available space. I have moved imovie to my external hard drive but it still tries to read from a movie file on my mac, how can I change that so it will read from a source file on my external hard drive, is it possible?? Can someone help me??

Hi Bengt, Thanks for your input, much appreciated.
I have a WD 1TIG hard drive and are using usb connection, is it possible to use fire wire with these? I have had trouble with a lot of the videos I Imported, once they downloaded the file in the viewer window showed up blank and when I mouse over them it places a picture of another file in the window and wont drag and drop into the movie window, like their corrupted or something? Had to delete just about all of them and start again. Also is it possible to select a bunch of videos in the viewer window as to change the dates to the correct dates? All I have been able to do is "select all" which is no help.
