Workflow Goes Processing Obsolete Even Deadline Not Reached

Dear Workflow Gurus,
Currently all the workflows in my system goes processing obsolete and escalate to the next approval path even though the deadline has not yet reached.
Does anyone know why and help me in resolving this?
Yours Truly,
Rachel Rose

Hello,
Normally there shouldn't be a problem, except if the deadlines are calculated wrong (e.g. by using the user's local time as input, instead of the system time).
Of course, deadlines should not be set to a number of hours if people are working in different timezones.
Why, are you having problems?
If a deadline is set to now + 1 day then it will expire in 24 hours, it won't expire any sooner for someone in a different timezone.

Workflow WAIT FOR EVENT STEP deadline not working

Hi,
Need some inputs for the experienced people;
I have a wait for event step in a workflow with deadline monitoring (Latest End) but it doesn't seem to work.
Ofcourse, all the required setting are in place and deadline works fine for other Activity steps.
The problem is specific to Wait for event step.
The alternative is having a fork but I just want to know why the wait step with deadline doesn't work.
Thanks,
Roopesh

Hello Ajay,
Can you share with us what did you do to solve your problem?
I'm facing the same thing in my project now, I'm wandering if you could help me with this one.
I have this wait for an event step wich is configured to wait 4 minutes since the work item creation. I've also selected 'Modeled' on the Action field, and a display text for the outcome.
But in one of my tests, the event hasn't occurred and the workflow stuck in this task forever.
Thanks in advance.
Regards.
Actually, I think I got this handled. This thread was really helpful to me: http://scn.sap.com/thread/47482

Workflow for Process Route in SCASE not getting triggered

This is for the credit case workflow using a process route. I have carried out all the necessary settings in config for Process Route setup in Case Management. I have activated the type linkage for standard template WS78900007 and refreshed the organizational environment. When I created a case and assigned the processor using process route, it doesn't trigger the workflow. Any ideas for fix ? Thanks.

Hello,
First step is to go to the event trace (SWEL - turn on with SWELS) and see if an event is being created.

My home wireless is no longer recognized, even going through the set-up process. It does not connect to the car through Bluetooth seamlessly--I have to add my phone as a new device each time I get in the car. In attempting to solve these problems I have gone to settings-phone-upgrade and it states that the upgrade is available-select to continue-(which I do)- it checks -please wait and it then states that update not available - try later.

Maybe not too late to help you.
For specifically fixing the Bluetooth, un-pair your phone with the car, and go through the process of repairing the two.
In general, the KK update requires many of us (different phones) to perform a Factory Data Reset after we back up our personal content (pictures, music, movies, or other downloaded files) to a PC or MAC. This will result in you having to do a bit of work to setup icons for the programs you use, and maybe putting in the specifics again for email accounts and other specialized apps. So if you are going to do this sort of thing... copy important information/settings down on paper.

Workflow in Project server 2013 online not going particular stage after Approval

Hi All,
i have created workflow using sharepoint designer 2013 for project server 2013 online. and i have also set the approver after the first stage. when i create a project using this workflow, project is created successfully and the approval task also go for
a approval to specific user. and i have set the property that after approval it has to go on specific stage. but the problem is when user approve the task it shows approved but my stage in workflow is remain same. it is not going to any stage.
i don't know why this type of problem is occur.
FYI, i have created same workflow for Project server 2013 on premise(Which is installed in my server) and
it is working fine but when i want to deploy this workflow in
project server 2013 online its giving error.
so please help me to solve this type of issue.
Thanks

I am also experiencing issues with this. After the approval task is completed, the Workflow gets cancelled with the following message
RequestorId: 60d96368-4cb4-b059-8086-604972a92e60. Details: System.Collections.Generic.KeyNotFoundException: The given key was not present in the dictionary. at Microsoft.Activities.Hosting.Runtime.Subroutine.SubroutineChild.Execute(CodeActivityContext context)
at System.Activities.CodeActivity.InternalExecute(ActivityInstance instance, ActivityExecutor executor, BookmarkManager bookmarkManager) at System.Activities.Runtime.ActivityExecutor.ExecuteActivityWorkItem.ExecuteBody(ActivityExecutor executor, BookmarkManager
bookmarkManager, Location resultLocation)
All other desired workflow actions work as expected. Emails are sent, project is moved from stage to stage, however as soon as the workflow approval task is completed, either Approved or Rejected, the Internal Status is changed to Canceled and the
workflow fails.
What is interesting is when the Approval task is completed, the approver will receive an email notification that the task was CANCELLED or DELETED....
not COMPLETED, which is what would be expected.
Has anyone seen this - any potential resolution?

Idoc Not reaching PI even with 03 status

Hi everybody
There are many posts with similar question, but none of them could help me.
I am trying to post an IDOC from one SAP system 3.1 to SAP 6.0 through PI.
I added FIDCC1 to to my partner profile in BD64.
I am creating a invoice and clearing it through f-30 and using the details from the invoice i am trying to trigger an idoc through a program.
Three idocs are getting triggered
1.when i create invoice(f-22)-automatically
2.when I clear invoice (f-30)-automatically
3.When I execute my program
The first two IDOCS are reaching 6.0, but my third IDOC is not reaching. All have same port details and partner profile details.
*All have 03 status in we02 in 3.1*. I am not able to understand why those two are reaching and why the third is not reaching.
None of them are stuck in any queues.
My actual requirement is only the third IDOC to reach 6.0 and I do not even want the first two IDOCs to reach 6.0.
Pls help!
Thank you
Donny

Hi Friends,
Thanks for the suggestions.
I have checked with all the above provided suggestions.
But as I have clearly mentioned in the problem that other idocs are reaching well in XI from R3 using the same Port, Partner Profile and RFC.
The error is occuring only with only one idoc in which they have made certain changes (added new segments). I have imported the idoc in Design again and then did the mapping again with the changed idoc.
Before the changes I could receive the Idoc successfully in XI system. I don no what happened after the changes.
If it would have been an authorization problem then I guess the other idocs would not have reached the XI system as well.
I guess the problem is somewhere else..
Thanks in advance.

BC CASE:: File not Reaching XI to BW System even message is success in MONI

Hi! Gurus,
This is Amar Srinivas Eli. Here I am facing one important issue. we are transferring data from SAP XI --> BW System via RFC's through FTP Server using Sender File(FTP) to receiver RFC Module.
<b>
But issue is we are able to send messages from XI but that particular files not reaching to BW system
Here we checked the below following:: </b>
1.SXMB_MONI:: Success Message its Showing success status and Black and White FLag is obtained and is reflecting every time success from XI SIde
2. SMQ1 & SMQ2 :: No Messages in both the queues.
3. We checked RFC COnnections ::
every thing is fine and all are active.
4. Communication Channel Monitoring::
Both Sender as well as Receiver CC are showing Status Green and Error Free
5. I checked with BASIS Trace on my User ID:
in that analysis every thing is fine means no red colour error.
NOte:: This Scenario is become Success only once if the XI server is restarted once then the file is reaching BW system in remaining cases one day File is picking successfully and another day file is not even picking.
WHY THIS UNEVEN IN SERVER AND tell me if there is any mistake or else any issue with RFC or Still I need to do any thing from my part as a XI Developer,.
Kindly answer it as it is a BC Case.
THanks
Amar Srinivas Eli

Hi! Vijay,
I already mentioned that I have chcked even in SXMB_MONI as well as SMQ1 and SMQ2.
1. In MONI If you placing a file in FTP server it was picking from FTP Server and is howing success message in MONI (Blacka nd White Flag)
2. I also checked in Both the queues SMq1 and Smq2no messages and no queues are remained in Queues
3. Even I checked CC Channel Monitoring
both sender and receiver Cc's are Green and Error free.So
So,Please provide any other solution for why it was not reaching to BW system even though All RFC Connections are fine and acitive.

Processing Obselete executed before deadline is reached

Hi Experts,
I have used a modelled latest end deadline for one day where the processing obselete is activated.
In the modelled outcome , i have a process control that will set the main workitem to obselete and execute the new workitem in the processing obselete branch after the deadline is reached,
but for me the processing obselete is right away getting executed with out the deadline being reached. Any idea what needs to be done.
Thanks,
Shilpa

Martin,
i have created a step ( activity ), in which the latest end is given as 'Workitem item creation' and time is 1 day and its modelled to a outcome 'DEADLINE' and the step is activated for processing obselete in Outcomes tab.
In modelled outcome branch (DEADLINE), i have given a step Process control, where i set the main step as 'Set work item to Obselete' .
In the Processng obselete branch, I have created a new step( activity ) with a new task which i ideally expect to work when the deadline is reached but it doesn't.
Please let me know if you need any more inputs

i cant see any error in the sxmb_moni....
but there is no log for the message processing in the communication channel in the RWB............

hi,
Is the Database is running on the same server and the same tables and all are existed with same structure.
Database name is changed then you would have to check all . and after changes , did you activated ?
If every thing is correct, then refresh Cache.

Idocs are not reaching to midleware or external Vendor

Hi Everyone,
We are sending delivery forecast idocs through a customising transaction, the idoc status is 12 but it does not reached to midleware or external vendor. When we create a new idoc through test tool(WE19) by copying the above idoc(which was created by customising transaction), its reaching midleware and vendor. Could you please tell, whats going wrong with the idocs which were created through customising program/transaction.
Thanks in advance.
Thanks and Regards
Raghu

sorry, no ideas at the moment.
You are using the same IDoc (which is in Status 12) and process it with WE19 and it´s working ?
Go to your IDoc Monitor.
OPen both IDocs and go to the STATUS Information.
Open all Status Data and read through longtext and Details, maybe you can locate it there.

Skinned scrollbar thumb does not reach the bottom of the track

I have an application in Flex 4.1 where there is a vertical List, bound to an array. As long as the List scrollbar is not skinned, everything is ok, the thumb oscillates from top to bottom of the track. But after adding a skin it works bad. The thumb never goes to the very bottom of the track when scrolling, but locks somewhere in between. For very long list of elements, it even stops halfway.
Despite of this behavior, the list is in fact scrolled to the last element - so the problem is not with some elements at the bottom of the list being unreachable, but it is only about the thumb not reaching the bottom of the track, which looks as if the list was locked halfway. The skin is very simple and it is just about defining an image for the track and thumb. Is there any method to ensure that the thumb always goes to the bottom of the track, regardless list size?

I have 3 skins: for the scrollbar itself, for the track and for the thumb.Thumb and track skins are using fxg vector images, but exactly the same negative result is without fxg images, e.g. only using simple filled rectangles in place of the fxg - I just checked it.
For Scrollbar:

RFX Not reached Approver Inbox for Approval

Hi Friends,
We are experiencing a very strange cases.
In RFX approval process RFX has not reached Approver. When I check in Workflow through tcode SWI1 I dont see any agent assigned to it.
Functional consultant says that he has already set the ROLE right and all future RFX will pickup correct Agent.
Now how can I process the same RFX(which has not reached the approver and does not allow us to change and re-publish again).
Either this RFX should reach the Approver or else it should allow me to re-publish it again(Currently RFX is non editable, Cant Publish)
This is happening in Productive system
Thanks
SK

Hi,
Since RFx will have versions.. if this is the change version of RFx... then you can delete the version by calling the FM 'BBP_PD_BID_DB_DELETE' and BAPI_TRANSACTION_COMMIT sequetially.. i am not suggesting this way.. this must be the worst case..

The "Connecting..." goes on forever even if web page is already loaded (With NoScript addon)

The "connecting ..." green circle goes on forever, even though web pages loaded correctly, and no problem surfing *all* web sites. I suspect NoScript addon blocks some of the contents. At those web sites, if I allow NoScript to load all ("temporary allow all" it will stop this problem and no more green circles. But the 'Allow All" must apply to all tabs. Applying to only one tab won't do. Even if only one tab is partially blocked by NoScript, the green circle will be on ALL the tabs.
Request Firefox fix this in future version.
My system Info:
Win7 Home Premium 64-bit, 8G memory, Firefox 12. Addon: NoScript 2.4.3 (it auto updates)

I’ve seen several different discussions about this issue, and none of them have a real solution to it. It affects too few users for FF Support to get a handle on what the issue is. Here are links to some other discussions.
https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups#!topic/mozilla.support.firefox/M-fmY6bbCE8
This user has a similar issue, and is blaming a particular site:
http://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/941659
Several of the users posting here seem to have the same issue:
http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic.php?t=2322845&f=38
I have had this problem fairly consistently in FF7 and in FF8, on my PC at work. I usually have several FF windows open with multiple tabs open in each.
FF works fine, but after some time has gone by, when I click a link or try to refresh a page, the Connecting issue appears. When one page (tab) does this, all the pages do it and nothing will load or reload in FF. Note that I often have IE pages open as well, and they continue to work. The only solution for me has been to go to Task Manager and kill the Firefox process. Then when I open Firefox it offers to restore the pages (and includes an unnecessary apology). I restore the pages and everything is back to working fine.
When I leave for the day, I leave my PC on and logged in, and after some time the screen locks. In the morning I log in to unlock the screen and begin working. This is when the issue most often appears.
This morning, when the issue started, I went to Error Console and found these warnings. This list goes on for several screenfuls. All of the errors are at nyt or nytimes URLs. Most of them have a timestamp of 7:27 – 7:51 last night. The rest are at 8:02 this morning, which is probably when I first clicked a link on an FF page. Not that I had logged in (unlocked) the PC around 7:30, and no errors were logged until I tried to click something.
