Workflow disposition rule category

Hi all,
I'm trying to use workflow to review new category disposition.
I'm following the documentation:
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E23943_01/doc.1111/e10640/c07_generalconfig.htm#BHCJHBAJ
and
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E23943_01/doc.1111/e10640/c14_disp_instr.htm#RMDSG483
When I create new disposition rule, during the save I facing the following error:
"Not authorized to perform action. Unable to check in a content item with CatDispositionsCheckinDefaults as Content ID. This content item is used to drive default metadata for checking in category dispositions."
Someone already faced this?

Permissions to workflows in a category

Is there a way to allow permissions to all workflows in a category?
Giving permissions to a category does not seem to do this. I assume it just allows permission to modify the category itself.
What I would like to do is allow permission to any workflows in a category, so if new workflows are added to the category, users are automatically given access to the workflow if they have permissions on the category.
Is this possible?

You are correct, it is not possible today to grant permissions to all processes in a category in an easy step.
It has been requested before, but hasn't made it into a release yet and is not currently on the roadmap.
There are 3 types of security permissions that Orchestrator has today, for creating "Roles":
- Object List is the most straigtforward one. You can explicitly add/remove processes to the list for which you want to grant permissions. It is straightforward, but also the least dynamic. So you would have to remember to add/remove to the security role as you create/delete processes
- Object Type is very dynamic, but it is also very broad. You can use it to grant permissions to **all** objects of a specific type
- Owner Security is dynamic and could give you what you want, but it still requires paying some attention how you create and manage your objects.
You could try Owner Security to give you what you want.
- Create a security group (any group would do), let's say group A.
- Set Owner field to group A in all objects (processes, targets, categories, whatever), to which you want to grant permissions to.
- Now create a Security Role and add Owner Security Permission to that role, whose owner field is also set to group A.
Choose object types/operations that you want to give permissions over. Now you can assign this role to other people.
This role will be dynamic: meaning that as you create new objects and set their Owner field to group A, the users who are assigned to the role will automatically get the permissions over those objects.
If you decide to go that route, you can also utilize a little know option in the UI, that allows the user to set the default value for the Owner field in the newly created objects (check Security tab under Tools | Options menu item).
Also, keep in mind that the default security Roles grant full control to "owners" of objects. So if you want to avoid that, you might want to keep the security group empty or modify the default roles.
Hope this helps.

Workflow Substitution rules - How can I...

Hello Guru's
I am relatively new @ workflow and I am implementing some workflow scenario's.
Two of them: Release Purchase Order & Release Purchase Contract.
Release Purchase Order:
Workflow u201CWS2000075u201D -> TS20000166 -> Agent Determination Rule      "Person Resp. for PO Release"
In the responsibilities tab I have created several Purchase groups:
- Purchasing Group of 100 to 299
- Purchasing Group of 300 to 499
etc...
I have assigned agent assigment with correct agents. The rule test is doing well !!
The workflow first looks at the release strategy, then the rule resolution.
test 1: Release code 20 > PG 100 = Buyer User A untill F.
test 2: Release code 30 > PG 200 = Lead Buyer A and B.
test 3: Release code 40 > PG 300 = Purchase Director A.
My Question:
But how can I arrange a special substitution for this workflow? Per user you can set the substitution, but that is NOT what I want. What I want is when a PO is created for Lead Buyer of Purchase Group 100 and is pending for release for more then 2 days, it should go to another Lead Buyer of Purchase Group 200 or 300 for release the PO.
Another one, when the Purchase Manager for Group A has some workitems, after 2 days they should go to another Purchase Manager, e.g. Purchase Manager for Group D. Is there a possibility to arrange that?
Thanks for you answers!
Best Regards,
G. Leurs

Hi,
You can acheive your requirement using deadline. substitution is nto required.
1)Specify the 2days time in the latest end tab
2) select the modelled deadline in the options below.
3) in outcomes tab, activate the processing obsolete line
4) now u can c 3 lines from the task for release
     1) normal flow whn executed
     2) Will check the deadline. Once it is reached it will progress with the steps in processing obsolete branch.
     3) Processing obsolete branch. In this branch,
           a) place the 'PRocess Control' step to remove the workitem from the preovious user
           b) Include the workitem step to send it to the next person who shld release the PO.
Hope this helps you.

Calling workflow from rule or form

I have had this question occupied me since a long time.
Is there no one knows how to trigger a workflow from a rule or a form?

Hi
have you been able to solve this problem regarding the "User Form --- Workflow" relationship?
I am having the same problem at the moment; I've posted it here on the Forum, but have not received any replies yet.
I have created and customized user forms. But now, I am trying to create Workflows, which will act as a "continuation" of the entire process.
In other words, I am trying to find out exactly how the relationship between the Forms and the Workflows should be created?
What code should be written in the Forms themselves, so that once the form is Saved and Submitted, the process will move on straight to the Workflow, and execute whatever activities are coded there?
How can this be done?
Thanks

Workflows / Assignment Rules and Offline Version of On Demand

Hi
We are planning to use Offline On Demand for Fields Sales. We have created workflow and assignment rules based on opportunity fields. When field user syncs back with Online version, will this workflow and assignment rules get triggered and available in the offline version during next download.
Sundar Raghavan

Sundar, since the On Demand offline only uploads changes (either new or modified records) the online version will treat these changes as new or modified records and workflow and assignment rules should act on these records as if the changes were made in the UI. The next download should reflect these changes.

ECC 6.0 - WS20000050 - Container Elements from Workflow to Rule in step 172

Hello Guys/Gals,
Hope you all are doing good.
Greatly appreciate if you could help on this with some tips.
We are under the process of the upgradation to ECC 6.0. Decided to use the std WF WS20000050 for travel request.However work flow ended in error at step 372(Approve Travel request) saying
"Source (expression '&TRIP.EMPLOYEENUMBER&') of binding assignment is not available" and
"Source (expression '&TRIP.TRIPNUMBER&') of binding assignment is not available" and
Error in the evaluation of expression '<???>&TRIP.TRIPNUMBER&' for item '1'..etc.
Can anyone tell what is are the container elements need to be passed and possible errors.
Good Day.
Raj

Hello,
Check in SWO1 if the BO related to the TRIP container element has those attributes (EMPLOYEENUMBER and TRIPNUMBER) and if so then check in the workflow log if they have a value.

Workflow Expression Rule Adapter

Hello there,
this is my first time creating process controlled workflow. Now I have a problem to create the right expressions and events to define the output for my for choosing the right schema.
What I want:
We have created a ZBUS2121 and delegated it to BUS2121. Within ZBUS2121 we created new attribute for workflow starting condition.
In Application controlled workflow it works all fine.
But now migrating the workflow to process controlled workflow framework there is the problem.
I need the value of the new Z Attribute from my ZBUS2121 to trigger the right schema.
I Created a new expression Z_C_GET_APPR as OCF001 to call the funktion module /SAPSRM/WF_BFR_0EXP000
my parameters are
1. OC_C1_C_FWFSCRLCNTNT (its the constant class name /SAPSRM/CL_WF_RULE_CONTXT_SC)
2. OC_C2_C_GET_PROPERTY
3. Z_C2_ZGENEHMIGUNGSWF (Thats the name of the attribute in ZBUS2121)
with another expression Z00_SC_E_CHECK from type simple SAP Formularinterpreter (OFB001) I will check the result of Z_C_GET_APPR
I wrote the "Z_C_GET_APPR = 'E'
The result type is boole.
then a third expressions gives me the schema name. It's checks if Z00_SC_E_CHECK is true.
My problem is that the expression Z_C_GET_APPR containing the function module call delivers not the expected result. One field with the value from ZBUS2121.
Whats my mistake?

Hello Saravanan,
You are right these are the parameters of the expression.
I did'nt know about a naming conversion in brf. Thanks for the hint.
Now I created a new constant expression called Z_C4_ZGENEHMIGUNGSWF but it solved not my problem.
these are my parameters now:
1. OC_C1_C_FWFSCRLCNTNT (its the constant class name /SAPSRM/CL_WF_RULE_CONTXT_SC)
2. OC_C2_C_GET_PROPERTY
3.Z_C4_ZGENEHMIGUNGSWF (Thats the name of the attribute in ZBUS2121)
When I look into other expressions which using the same function module they all have
1. OC_C1_C_FWFSCRLCNTNT (its the constant class name /SAPSRM/CL_WF_RULE_CONTXT_SC)
2. OC_C2_C_GET_PROPERTY
3. OC_C3_C.....
as parameters.
Is /SAPSRM/WF_BRF_0EXP000 the right fm for me? And parameter two the right method?
Maybe it isn't the wrong fm because I'm using ZBUS2121? Or Maybe I have more naming problems. Where can I see the naming conversions of BRF Objects?
How can I trace the workflow and the result of the expression? Currently I will trigger an workflow schema with it and I have to create shopping cards to test my workflow and the expressions. Is there a simple way for finding out the result of the expression?

SRM Workflow (Business Rule Framework)

Hello!
I hope I will find valuable tips and information.
I was researching at the moment about the SAP SRM BRF workflow. In our company, SRM is 5.0. With version 7.0 (or 7.0.1), the existing workflow concept has been revised to be strong. Now I try to work out differences. (Pro / Cons, functions, etc.)
Does anyone here have more information, or any sources?
Thank you in advance!

Hi,
It is called "Process-Controlled Workflow". SRM 7.0 support 2 workflow frameworks.
Application-Controlled Workflow: like SRM 5.0. Development in Workflow Graphical Editor or N-Step BADI development.
Process-Controlled Workflow: Process Level definition in customize table and Agent BADI.
Main business value is TCO. Application consultant or ABAP consultant can manage Process-Controlled Workflow implementation without workflow consultant.
If SRM 5.0 functionality is fine and no often approval step change, upgrade customers can use Application-Controlled Workflow without new implementation.
New functionality will be delivered in Process-Controlled Workflow only.

URM 11g Archive and disposition rules

Hi guys,
Our customer is using Oracle URM 11g. They wants to archive a content into a external storage first. After sometime they want to destroy them from the external storage itself. That means upon the content reaches certain time in retention process, it should be processed though a Content Archive process and the metadata can be stored in the URM repository. Later on the document should be processed for physical distroyal.
For example
Document A --> (After 4 years of record creation) Archive the content into external storage and leave metadata --> (After 8 years of record creation) Destroy metadata and document from external storage.
Is the above retention process can be configured in URM retention process?
I remember that each retention process can have only one action. In the above requirement there is a need to use two actions? is it possible to do? Can we create two retention policies with diff period and actions to handle this requirement?
Please give us your valuable suggestions
Thanks & Regards

Default Category Dispositions Workflow in URM11g!!

Hi,
In URM11g set up guide I could see the 'Category Dispositions Workflow' in configuration options chapter. I would like to know whether this workflow will help me to fulfill the below scenario.
"I have to approve the contents for disposition in URM system. Once the retention period is over then the particular retention category will appear on My Records Assignments for approval. Since i am not sure whether an user still requires a particular content I cannot go ahead and approve the disposition action. Before the approval for all contents I would like to have one more step in the disposition action or as a seperate workflow to make sure the users are reviewed the contents and I can approve the disposition action."
Please help me to resolve the above scenario.
Thanks

From the documentation (http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E28389_01/doc.1111/e10640/c07_generalconfig.htm#BHCJHBAJ):
"The Category Disposition Workflow is used to approve the disposition rules on a category before the rules are enacted.", so that piece of functionality is not usable in your scenario.
Since i am not sure whether an user still requires a particular content I cannot go ahead and approve the disposition action. Before the approval for all contents I would like to have one more step in the disposition action or as a seperate workflow to make sure the users are reviewed the contents and I can approve the disposition action.I'm not really sure if basic records management concepts are really understood here.
The company decides on the rules when an item goes away by defining the disposition process, not the user. You can set up some type of step in the process, like "notify authors", but the records manager is the person tasked with the actual enforcement. Users almost never want to get rid of anything, which is why such systems for retention management have sprung up. If you need approvals, you can actually print off a destruction certificate with the items (this is a manual process, as the system doesn't handle this scenario electronically), give it to the user, and make them sign it for documentation purposes, but don't expect a user to OK a document destruction from a simple email notification - they will just ignore it, and now you are out of compliance for not destroying the item as your retention schedule/file plan dictates.

Rule not working in workflow but works in simulation mode

Hi guys
i have one more strange issue. I have a rule assigned to one of my task to dtermine the agnet based on a z table which is executed by a z function module in the rule. The rule works fine and gets the desired agent when run in the simulation mode. But when we test it from the workflow it dosent seems to be working. When i check the workflow log it says no agent for this task. any idea what am i missing?
thanks in advance.

Hi
yes both the workflow and the dialog step( in our case a decision step) is categorized as General task. I also have used the SWU_OBUF to refresh the buffer but still the same results. Rule works fine in simulation but when it is run in a workflow the workflow log says no agent found. any more suggestions? the workflow to rule binding is fine as well. The rule requires 3 parameters and in the binding i am pasing all the 3 elemts to the rule containers. so i am not sure why its not working?

Roles and Rules for workflow.

Hi,
I have some basic conpectual problem about roles and rules.
What is the diffrenece between roles and rules in sap business workflow ? What is the Tcode for Role creation/Change/Display and Rule creation/Change/Display ?
I am using a standard workflow for PR Release "WS20000077".
I have done all the setting except this agent assignment using roles or rules. The default rules used in the task "TS20000159" is "20000026". The Binding from workflow to rules container is also defined by the workflow itself.
This rules is defined using a function module.When I am putting a breakpoint in this function module and tring to execute my workflow it is not going to the given breakpoint but the workflow is running successfully as shown in the event trace "SWE2".
What could be the problem..Pls suggest?

Rule with DoesNotContain qualifier not working for CATEGORY

I try to use the DoesNotContain qualifier on a CATEGORY field.
I tried the following rule:
(CATEGORY DoesNotContain "Archived")
And receive this Error Msg: "Error in Rule. Invalid Operator for Datatype"
But the following rule works fine
(CATEGORY Matches "Archived")
But I need the negated expression... any ideas?

Try this
!(CATEGORY Matches "Archived")
as you must be doing this from some sort of program, just add the
exclamation mark before the opening bracket

Creating Rule PFAC_INS

Dear All...
I created a rule (using tcod pfac_ins) for determining agents for approval workflow and i used "agent determination :Responsibility"
rule Category.
when i assign agents ( user type ) to a responsibility. the agents is ordered by alphabet. while i want the agent is ordered by the order i assign that agent.
anyone can tell me.. how...?

Hello Lukman Hakim !
It's standard behaviour that agent details appear in alphabetic order.
Still you can give a try by selecting an entry, click left button of the mouse and drag it to the point where you want and release the mouse button.
