Workflow implementation in EP

Hi,
We are thinking to implement an own workflow in EP.
can anybody help me about workflow.
Regards,
Krishna

Hi Krishna,
what kind of workflow you plan to implement?
Do you want to implement & configure the KM workflow? or custom built workflow for ur own application.
You may go with KM API's to programme workflow and send notifications mails etc.
hope it helps

IReceivables Credit Memo Workflow Implementation

HI Guru,
For our client we are implementing iReceivables and we are using the Credit Memo Workflow for the approval process.
This is the first time i am working in iReceivables. Please kindly let me know whether i need to do any setup from the Technical aspect to use the Credit Memo Workflow.
Regards
Suresh P

It depends on what technical aspect means? It needs some setups depending on using AME or not. Please refer to "Setting Up the AME Credit Memo Request Workflow" in Oracle Receivables User Guide. If HR, SysAdmin, WF are already setup, then you may have to work on AME. From the technical angle, check the ARCMREQ.wft to see if any customizations are needed.

Workflow implementation(help)

hi all,
i am new to workflows but have learned a bit on the same from help.sap,sdn etc....
now we r implementing workflows for our client and he needs some std. workflows to start with
i have done performed auto workflow customizing(SWU3)
but now when i am testing std. worfklows in dev. server i am getting diffrent
kinds of errors like say
one of the task say "deletebillingblock" says error as "The calling of the object method for the work item ended with a return value for which no handling is modeled in the workflow." in the workflow log
other says "The workflow runtime system has called an application method in a tRFC or background context. A message was processed in this application method. This causes the execution of the workitem to be cancelled in this context."
i dont know y this is happening
is there any more customization needed other than swu3 (basis/abap work)

Hi,
"The calling of the object method for the work item ended with a return value for which no handling is modeled in the workflow." in the workflow log
This kind of Error comes due to the following reasons:-
1> There is a problem in the Binding, in which step this Error is Coming. You have Binded the element for which there is no Target Defined. Source is there but no Target is there, so it is unable to catch the data that you want to send through Binding.
2> It also could be because of Binding Mismatch. The Container elements would not be having the same Data Type.
"The workflow runtime system has called an application method in a tRFC or background context. A message was processed in this application method. This causes the execution of the workitem to be cancelled in this context."
This Error can be because of the RFC Settings that are not propoerly configured in SWU3. All the ticks should be green in Colour. Check the same for the Server on which you are trying to trigger the WF.

Workflow/implementation suggestions for stipple plugin.

I'm writing a photoshop plugin for doing stipple effects, and other related effects such as these ones:
http://methodart.blogspot.com/2006/11/see-larger-version-here.html
http://methodart.blogspot.com/2006/11/from-method-artist.html
http://methodart.blogspot.com/2006/11/while-trying-to-figure-out-ways-to.html
http://methodart.blogspot.com/2010/05/nuther-twist-on-idea-of-novel-means-of.html
I started out writing a simple image filter, but I think a better workflow would be to generate the paths and stipple positions, and then be able to stroke them with different brushes.
Ideally, I would like to do all the crunching in a plugin, which would simply serve up paths and dot positions, and then do the rest in script. This is the architecture I use in Maya and similar apps. Is this possible?
Apologies for the n00b-ish questions, under a crushing deadline to get these in showable beta form.
Any and all help greatly appreciated,
Kevin

The above is basically the approach ive been forced to take, I added some more specific inheritance into the plugins.. now I have types of plugins, with general and specific interfaces... methods in the general interface are generally common to most of the plugins, specifics are not. Thus I have
public interface GeneralPlugin extends Cloneable, Runnable {
// General plugin methods go here
public interface TypeAPlugin extends GeneralPlugin {
// TypeA specific methods
public abstract class AbstractPlugin implements GeneralPlugin {
// Generic implementation
public class MyPlugin extends AbstractPlugin implements TypeAPlugin {
// The specifics, and the actual plugin.
}This way, if someone is writing a plugin, and chooses NOT to use the generic implementation for basic plugin functions, they may just have "public class AnotherPlugin implements TypeAPlugin" and they will need to implement all the methods -- this while being a slight trade off, by forcing the extension operation, ultimately gets what I want done.

EIC Workflow Implementation - WS61000004

Hi All,
We are trying to implement the standard WF WS61000004 - E-Mail for EIC Inbox (Enhancement P.) in our system.
The system is setup to receive inbound emails and when emails are sent to certain email iDs configured, The WF is
triggered. The basis team has done the config to add the entries in the table THREIC_CONSTANTS,
V_HREIC_IB_EMAIL (tcode SO28), V_HREIC_PROC. The config also associates a org unit to the email address,
and users are assigned to the org units. Any email sent to that particular email ID is distributed to the users in the
org unit. This is working fine in our Dev system, but not in Prod supp.
The WF is using the business object EICIBITEM, it is triggered by the event "MailReceived". There is also a start
condition - Event container element is VPSwitch and it needs to be "1".
Turned on the trace and see the Event is raised successfully, but then we get the "Feedback after error" , and the
event gets put in queue. So am suspecting that the Switch is not turned on and hence the start condition is failing.
The binding is all correct, so not sure what is causing the "Feedback after error".
We have verified the config and it is the same in both the systems.
Did some debugging and found the name of the switch, but not able to find how it is set HREIC_SFWS_UI_ENH_01.
This shd have a value of "T".
Attaching the screenshot of the start condition and SWEL.
Appreciate the help.
Thank you
Lalitha

If you do a resend and the workflow starts correctly, maybe your data is not yet saved to the DB at the time the workflow starts and the start condition could not be evaluated. I suggest again that you try re-sending the event via the event browser in SWEQADM (Click on the 'Browser' button and select 'All events' as well as 'Other events' & 'Events not delivered' and you should see the event and be able to resend it)
That way you will know for sure that nothing happened in the system, if the event will be process well by doing this, then the event might be raised before the commit.
You can also try removing the starting condition and checking if the workflow runs well.
To the best of my understanding the check function module is run by the session raising the event. the event processing is run by the workflow logical RFC in a new session an has a greater possibility that all DB updates have finished. If this is the case you can transfer the starting condition check to within the workflow. or since this is a standard workflow - check for notes/report a product error.
also check if one of the other lines in SWEL doesn't have another message.

Security considerations wrt the ABAP Workflow implementation

Maybe somebody can comment on this:
I am an SAP auditor and doing SAP audits. Me and my colleagues always struggle with the security risks imposed by WF-BATCH and the related RFC-destination.
The question I am interested in is: Why did SAP go for this construction ? Why does Workflow Management require the WF-BATCH user ?
I do have an assumption here: The user is required as the Workflow Management functionality requires some authorization objects (e.g. S_USER_GRP/02/*) that you wouldn't like to hand out to the users directly. By calling this part of the functionality via the RFC-destination, those authorization objects have to be "handed out" only to WF-BATCH.
Well - nice assumption, but I have no evidence that this was actually the reason. My knowledge of the Workflow Management functionality is limited and the example I mentioned above (S_USER_GRP) is most probably wrong and not complete anyway as it doesn't state a reason why S_USER_GRP would be necessary.
Nevertheless it would be important to understand the in's and out's here a bit better in order to arrive at a better understanding of the risk and to trim WF-BATCH authorizations to the unavoidable.
So if anybody can shed some light on this, please do so ...
BTW: I am also asking because although I can't believe that S_USER_GRP/02/* is necessary, so far I always found it in real-live WF-BATCH users
Thanks and regards,
Ralf Nellessen

SharePoint Designer 2013 Workflow Fails to open.

I've been trying for a day or so to get this 2013 workflow to open up in sharepoint designer.
Everytime I get the following error
"Field to load this workflow. To correct this problem, restart SharePoint Designer."
Then when I refresh the screen I get this error.
"Windows Workflow Foundation, part of .Net Framework 3.0, must be installed to use this feature."
I've tried logging into SharePoint Designer with different accounts, I've delete the cache
%APPDATA%\Microsoft\Web
Server Extensions\Cache
%APPDATA%\Microsoft\SharePoint
Designer\ProxyAssemblyCache
%USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\Microsoft\WebsiteCache
Before for I say this workflow has been corrupted. I have a question to ask.
Would content databases needing to be upgraded after a CU cause this error?
Thanks
James T.F

The issue may not be an infrastructure one but involve problems with the structure of the workflow itself. For example, I have found that if the workflow design has a type mismatch involving variable assignments, this presents with the error above.
Does the workflow implement error control? Have the workflow designer very carefully review the workflow to find any potential problems.
Also... The problem with workflows is that they do not have a robust compiler or error handler to capture and inform you of errors involving the workflow itself. The reference below provides links to other pertinent postings on this vary issue.

Oracle Custom Workflow Redesign best practices

Hi All,
Morning , need some help with this scenario.
We are in the process of redesigning existing developed custom Oracle Workflows in our system ( Oracle Apps Release 12.0.6 )
hence wanted to know if there are steps or guidelines/best practices which could be followed in this situation on points like handling performance issues with the workflow , how to handle the purging of the obsolete workflow data , design steps regards notifications, how to handle error conditions with workflow activities and how to retry activities ( means if any activity within the workflow process shows error how it could be retried or re executed in real time without any delay).
means any pointers which could be considered for this redesign actvity , any best practices document/steps and guidelines would be really very very helpful here...
Regards

This is a very broad question - narrowing it to specifics might help folks respond better.
There are a lot of documents on MOS that refer to best practices from a technology stack perspective.

Need help setting up approval workflow step for PO and Shopping Cart

Hello,
We are on SRM 7.0 and setup BRF and process level config for automatic approvals of SCs and POs using task 40007988. We would now like to test approval based workflow (create work item to route to approver) using a process level step.
1) Is there a standard task that can be used to enter in the process level step? Or should we create a new standard task? If a new task is required, what import/export parameters should be defined?
2) How do we setup agent for this step? Are the entries u201CResp Resolveru201D and u201CResp Resolver Parameteru201D in process level config required? The BADI BD_WF_RESP_RESOLVER already has some SAP delivered implementations? Should I create a new implementation here?
Thanks,
Zack

Hi,
Welcome to new Process-Controlled Workflow implementation in SRM 70.

could anyone help me to find out the missing stuffs? i am not sure if there is some error ... i couldnt see any in the status monitor page of apps.

You want a criteria workflow. Setting one up is discussed, among other places, in the "Workflow Implementation Guide".

Looking for screen to change Supplier User Registr.. workflow process name

Hi,
The question relates to Supplier User Management.
Does anybody know if there is a page where you can pickup the workflow (the shipped one has internal name POS_REG) process name for supplier registration?
Thank you.
Anatoliy

Hi Bala
What enhancements were you adding to the Workflow Reassign/Delegate feature, which included being able to add comments? A good idea is to look for any differences between how workflow implements the reassign feature, and your customization.
Also, make sure you only use the Public documented PL/SQL APIs and do not update the tables directly to ensure no Support or Upgrade Issues.
Cheers
Mark
I am using Stand alone Workflow 2.6, In my workflow process
which is an Issue tracking system which is working fine. On Enhancement I would like to create my own RE-ASSIGN function which will, Change the ownership of an issue totally to other user.
For this I Created a package(CHANGE_OWNER.CREATE)which will show list of Users and Comment field(Just like Re-Assign).
Here user can pick other user, and add comment,
once submit for that Item key I am updating the workflow notification table so that paritcular issue ownership will be changed.
In my workflow process I created a lookup code called "Change Owner". On click of Change Owner it will call the Function
in workflow process which will call CHANGE_OWNER.CREATE, here
the workflow process supposed to wait and get the User to be
changed. BUT THE PROCESS IS NOT WAITING, IT JUST DISPLAYED THE
SCREEN AND CONTINUED THE WORKFLOW PROCESS. I WANT THE MY
WORKFLOW PROCESS TO BE ACT AS RE-ASSINGN BUTTON WHICH WILL WAIT
FOR THE USER INPUT.
HOW TO DO IT.
Thanks
Bala.

Duet workflow configeuration

Hi,
We have configured duet workflow & implement a simple test workflow to test the same.
After executing the workflow and the scheduled programs we get the following error in slg1 :
Exception of type CX_SY_REF_IS_INITIAL has occurred. See details for more information
Exception of type CX_SY_NO_HANDLER has occurred. See details for more information
An unexpected exception occurred in the event handler with ID '/IWCNT/WF_WI'
Exception of type CX_SY_REF_IS_INITIAL has occurred. See details for more information
Exception of type CX_SY_NO_HANDLER has occurred. See details for more information
An unexpected exception occurred in the event handler with ID '/IWCNT/WF_WI'
An exception has occurred
Any help would be appreciated.

Hi,
How did you configure WF in Gateway? Did you use the Wizard or did you manually perform the configuration steps?
Where do you see these errors (in Gateway or in the SAP Backend system)? What are the other messages in SLG1 right above the error message? Those might give use a clue on where the problem lies.
You can also check the following (assuming these error message are from the Gateway system):
Transaction SPRO --> Reference IMG --> SAP NetWeaver --> Gateway --> Generic Channel Development --> Outbound Flow --> Events --> execute the following two steps
1) Event Handler IDs and Association to Consumer Types
Here, verify that you have an entry for /IWCNT/WF_WI and the associated consumer should be SHAREPOINT_INT
2) Event Handler Implementation
Locate entry /IWCNT/EI_SEH_SEND_WF_WI and click the Display button. Make sure that this Enhancement Implementation is activated and the Runtime Behavior should say "Execution depends on runtime filter values".
