Workflow in Citrix env.

Hi,
am working on a Citrix env. SAP,
i will be creating a WF object,
i wanted to know what are the intricacies WF developer would undergo while working in a Citrix env.SAP,
my problem is that i have to create a WF where on a PO creation workitem should be sent to users Outlook for Release.
Now as far as i know, a workitem to be sent to users Outlook requires a shortcut in the SAPLogon Pad of the user, am i right ?
Please provide me details of all the complexities, pre-requisites, SAP WF requirements needed for this object to be developed.
Rewards for sure, for worthy.
Aditya.

For a workflow developer it should not matter whether you are working through Citrix or not - if I understood your question correctly. I am actually working from a Citrix login myself here right now, and after setting the correct options ("true" full screen) it is just like working in a normal environment.
You are probably thinking about the work item notification e-mails, with attachments for executing the work item (or at least accessing the inbox). Unless you want to do extra work they require an entry in saplogon.ini for the system your user must log in to. As far as I know that is all (in addition to a working SAP installation). Search for OSS Notes regarding sapshcut for documentation on various possibilities, including single sign-on.
Sending the notification e-mails themselves requires a few things to be in place, but it has been discussed before, so you probably have that one solved already. The solution to use depends on your version. If extended notifications are available, use them - they are available if transaction SWNCONFIG exists. Otherwise use report RSWUWFML2 (if that is not available, use RSWUWFML).

Building Workflows via Citrix - can't see the Graphical View

Hi all,
I have access to a client site via Citrix. I have zero knoweledge about how to set up Citrix.
When I am physically at the client site I have no issues with the Workflow Builder. But when I try to use the Workflow Builder through Citrix I can't get the Graphical Model - it defaults to 'Tree' and I can't change it! From SWDD, I tried to change it using Menu Path: Extras > Options and no joy. I can't get the Graphical Model via Citrix.
I found one relevant thread: https://forums.sdn.sap.com/click.jspa?searchID=11364882&messageID=3427385
In this thread Kjetil Kilhavn comments "... I am actually working from a Citrix login myself here right now, and after setting the correct options ("true" full screen) it is just like working in a normal environment."
I wonder if someone can give me some hints/tips so i can pass them on to the people that set up Citrix e.g. what are the 'correct options' that have to be set up?
Any ideas?
Much thanks and regards,
Cristiana

Hello Christiana,
This is most likely not a problem with Citrix itself but with the SAPGUI installed in your Citrix client. Scripting must be enabled and some graphical components of the SAPGUI must also be installed. I don't know the details because they are all installed by default - so presumably someone disabled something.
Talk to your citrix admins and/or ask someone to reinstall SAPGUI for you.
Cheers,
Mike
Edit: A quick check: inside SAPGUI, goto options (last icon -> Options). Goto tab 'Scripting' and make sure it's installed and everything's ticked.

How to Place the Cursor at Specific Position with-in a Char Field ?

Forms 4.5 ver.
Sun Solaris / Citrix env.
Char Field - Length 65434
How Can I Place the Cursor at "Specific Location"
with in a Field ?
with GO_ITEM('field Name') I can place the Cursor at Specific Field.
But, How Can I achieve to Place the Cursor at Specific
Position within that Field ?
I know, the starting position, length of string I want to hightlight with the Cursor.
tried using :
go_item('substr(field_name,position,length)') ;
but didn't work !
Is it possible ?
Thanks, Peri

The only cursor postion behavior that can be controled is the item property "Keep Position".
The following is the text from the on-line help for item property "Keep Position"
KEEP_POSITION Specifies whether the Keep Position property should be True or False. When Keep Position is True, the cursor returns to the same position it was in when it left the text item. When Keep Position is False, the cursor returns to the default position in the text item. Valid values are PROPERTY_TRUE and PROPERTY_FALSE.

How to invoke TaskService updateTask from within BPEL Process

Hi
I have to call the updateTask method defined within TaskService to update the BPEL payload. I initiate the Task in the same BPEL process but I want to update the payload somewhere down in the same BPEL process. Can someone assist me in finding out how I should do that without writing Java code? I want to know which task values I need to set before using the invoke activity and assigning the updateTask method to it.

Unable to save current orgchart

Hi,
We are using OrgChart 3.0 SP1
I get the following warning when I try to save current orgchart and there aren't any other previously saved items.
"You have exceeded the maximum number of saved items for your user profile. Remove a previously saved item before saving a new one."
Is this because we're using "Store user preferences in cookie" as the user preference storage option and the maximum size for cookies is 4KB?
Is there a way to change the maximum size for cookies? We're not able to save any of the orgcharts when they're expanded.
Thanks!

The 4Kb limitation is a browser one, not a Nakisa one.
(link: [http://stackoverflow.com/questions/640938/what-is-the-maximum-size-of-a-web-browsers-cookies-key])
Ideally, you should look to store user preferences in a DB but of course this requires some tablespace (somewhere). Using a DB offers advantages on size and also means preferences are available wherever you log in (as opposed to cookie which is stored on a local PC). Also if you are in a Citrix env then cookies don't "travel" with you between Citrix app servers which causes the user to get strange behaviour.

Operations Manager failed to run a WMI query-Invalid class

Hi Team,
may of the windows 2008 R2 sp1 and sp2 servers getting below SCOM 2012 alert. Please help me to fix the same.
SCOM version : SCOM 2012 R2

One or more workflows were affected by this.

First try it with WBEMTEST to see what is going with the WMI class. The error you are getting usually means WMI misses that class and you should load the mof again/ maybe rebuild the entire repository (careful as the windows files are all located
on 1 folder, but applications tend to store it in their own folders, like citrix, ibm, etc).
Try to run this command:
mofcomp "<Programfiles>\Citrix\System32\Citrix\WMI\ .Mof file for citrix"
{citrixProv.XP10FR3.mof, metaframeProv.XP10FR3.mof, and mgmt.XP10FR4.mof files}
Then, run the WBEMTest again and the namespace should be returned successfully. Then restarting the health service on agent.

Cancel Save Workflow option missing in R17 env

Has anyone noticed the cancel save option in WF is missing in my R17 env.
Can anyone confirm if they have it in any of their R17 env ?
Edited by: Robin7511 on Jun 15, 2010 3:32 PM

Hi Everyone,
We were a little surprised by this as well. We had built quite a few CO validations with it and at this time will probably rollback the validations until certification is complete.
The following is an excerpt taken directly from the June 2010 patch release notes:
Oracle CRM On Demand
Release 17
Patch Release Notes
1142.0.02
"Cancel Save option in Workflow exposed on record types other than Opportunity (CR 12-1XVXFX5)
The Cancel Save feature was released in 1083.0.00 for the Opportunity record type only. It was
inadvertently exposed on other record types and is not certified by Oracle CRM On Demand. If you
have already used this feature you will receive the following privilege so you can either roll back the
use of this feature (recommended) or continue usage at your own risk:
Privilege Category: Customization: Business Rules
Privilege Name: Workflow Cancel Save
Privilege Description: Prevent save operation on 'Before Modified Record Saved' workflow events.
This privilege is dependent on the Manage Data Rules - Manage Workflow Rules privilege. The
privilege allows the use of this feature on the following record types:
1. Account
2. Activity
3. Contact
4. Custom Object 1
5. Custom Object 2
6. Custom Object 4
7. Household
8. Lead
9. Revenue
10. Service Request
This feature is not supported on any other record types.
If you have used the Cancel Save feature, and have not received this privilege or the privilege is inactive, the Cancel
Save section for the above record types:
- is not visible in the workflow creation page
- is read-only in the workflow edit and detail pages
Customers who have not yet used this feature may use it on the Opportunity record type only which is not
restricted by the above privilege and is certified for all customers.
Certification of this feature for the record types listed above is currently underway and will be available in a
forthcoming release."

Upload PDF directly to printer via Citrix from off-site computers

Is it possible to upload PDF documents directly to the newer HP printers, especially the business printers and copiers (MFDs)? We have HIPAA-containing data that home-based users must print at work, and therefore cannot be sent via the cloud.
Our current printer vendor supports uploading PDFs directly, which our users are using. The workflow involves printing via PDFCreator, then opening the web interface print tab of the device they are printing to and uploading, via a browse button, the PDF document. The connection is handled through our Citrix remote access servers, everything is encrypted, and all data stays out of the cloud.
Because HP's ePrint is in the cloud, we cannot submit HIPAA-containing data via that route.
If no current HP products have that capability, can it be added? I would think a firmware update to have an upload option would be very doable. It appears that the ability to print PDFs is already present via ePrint--this would only be another way to submit a print job.
Our current printer vendor's device functionality includes being able to upload and print other print-ready formats, including .PCL and .PS files, but we aren't using that capability currently. It would be nice to be able to upload .DOC/.DOCX formats directly.

Hey SPS64,
Thank you for participating in the HP Consumer Support Forums! The steps you desire are not going to be found on Consumer grade printers, but may be able to be found on some of the Enterprise level printers from HP. I would advise posting this question on the Enterprise printing boards where there are many experts who would be willing to assist with your question.

BPM worklist app, not working in Fusion SCM env..

I have a small BPEL+HWF app, with the BPM worklist UI component. It works well on my laptop, but when deployed on SCM FusionApp env, it fails to load the BPM app_UI?
I also noticed that the worklist app conf / ADF usage is different from my standalone laptop_SOA env and the FusionApp SOA_env. Are there any special steps to create/ register the HWF app UI in Fusion Apps Env?

It is deploying correctly, the worklist app displays my instance. Btu when I click on my worklist item, the UI does not load or display. Below is the browser error and logfile error messages.
-----Browser error-----

HWF UI work list not loading in BPM worklist page (on clustered env)

hello - Please reply directly as I am not on this alias.
My SOA project (BPEL+HWF) is successfully deployed on the clustered env successfully.
My BPEL process runs fine. But my HWF_UI taskflow fails to load on the browser (IE and Firefox, same error)
I can see the composite & UI ear(enterprise app) on EMConsole & AdminConsole, and all configs/ settings looks ok.
During execution, the work item pops up on the BPM worklist, but when I click on the work-item, the HWF_UI component is not loading....
Not Found
The requested URL /workflow/DOO_Simulation_ProjectUI/faces/adf.task-flow was not found.
How do I overcome this or get some meaningfull error info.? The log files donot tell much..

Multiple "Workflow Task (SharePoint 2013)" content type found

Users on one specific sub-site reported that they are unable to add site columns to content type. When user clicks "add existing site column" user get error message - upon looking up on ULS, it indicate there were duplicate column "System.ArgumentException:
No two choices should have the same ID". I came across similar issue on different site before and resolved it by deleting duplicate column, plus that site column was not used on any list or associated with any content type but this time duplicate
column is "Task outcome" column which is associated with "Workflow Task(SharePoint2013)" content type. So looking up these two specific site column and content type I noticed there are 8 occurrence of each at affected site
level (see below on image).
Similarly there are 8 "Task Outcome" columns under Site Columns. So I refreshed staging env with prod copy and tried to delete "Workflow Task(SharePoint 2013" content type and got error message as shown below. Under Site features, I noticed
"SharePoint 2013 Task List" feature was enabled, hoping this will do the trick I disabled it as we still use SharePoint 2010 workflows, but to no avail.
Sorry, something went wrong
The content type "Workflow Task (SharePoint 2013)" is part of an application feature.
Not sure how it got started and something will try to find out but any advise on how to fix this issue?
Thanks,
MK Sin

Hi Sin,
According to your description, my understanding is that the users got an error when clicking “add existing site column”.
For deleting the duplicate “Task outcome”column, you need to go to the “Workflow Task(SharePoint 2013)” content type, click the “Task outcome” column, and remove it from the content type.
Then go to site columns, find the duplicate columns, and delete them and make sure only one “Task outcome” column exists.
After the above, re-add the “Task outcome” into the “Workflow Task(SharePoint 2013)” content type.
Best Regards,

How to get host name in the workflow?

Hi,
I've a requirement where I need to get CQ Inbox url (http://<hostname>:<port>/inbox) in my custom workflow process. I thought of configuring url to some node and retriving from there.. but It's not the good approach as host name will be different for differnt CQ environments. So what is the best way of getting inbox url?
Env: CQ 5.6
Thanks
Siva

Yep Justin, If the configuration is wrong, any link generated would also be wrong.. I mean, default configuration will be some thing like..
I mean, I can change those configurations as per my instance host name, right?
Example: my instance's host url is: mytest:1501
So I would like to update the same in configurations ..

Issue with [env-entry] element in web.xml

I know it's possible to define [env-entry] elements in web.xml for environment
properties of a web application. But how do you access [env-entry] elements from
classes that do not exist within a web application? In other words, this is my
problem:
I have an EAR file, enterprise.ear, which contains the following...
employee.jar
employeeSearchEJB.jar
webApp1.war
META-INF/
application.xml
The employee.jar file is a utility archive that contains common classes, one of
which is a class called LogManager. LogManager needs to read environment properties
in order to initialize itself. Currently, LogManager reads these properties from
a property file, and therefore it needs to know the name of the property file
in order to access it. I dont like this approach because I'm forced to hard-code
the name of the property file in LogManager. I would rather leverage the power
of J2EE deployment descriptors and use the [env-entry] element to define the environment
properties for the LogManager class. Then, I would simply use JNDI to get the
values of the [env-entry] elements without ever having to specify their location
aside from the default JNDI context; java:comp/env, which is standard anyway.
The problem I'm having is that you can define the [env-entry] element in only
2 types of deployment descriptors; namely, web.xml and ejb-jar.xml, neither of
which are available to LogManager because LogManager exists at the EAR root level.
I was hoping application.xml supported the [env-entry] element, but it doesn't.
Any suggestions?
SAF

SAF,
I am not sure if this applies to you situation but if you create an initial context
instance and then grab the value using the jndi name within that context then
you should be able to grab that environment variable.
I have a helper class that is used as part of a deployed application. The helper
class doesn't have access to the Servlet context but it is created as part of
the application workflow. When it gets initiated it grabs an env-entry created
in the web.xml deployment descriptor to find the default url for a content path.
After I create an initialContext, I perform a initContext.lookup("jndi.env.entry.here")
where "jndi.env.entry.here" is the name specified in the env-entry tag.
This returns the value of the entry.
This works under both Jrun and Weblogic so my guess is it should work for you.
Again, I am assuming that your class will at least be able to grab a context
object to communicate back to the server.
Hope this helps,
Troy

Change default language in Citrix Farm for Adobe Reader

I have a Citrix farm and wish to change the default language of Citrix Adobe Reader XI for ALL USERS. Is this something thats possible? If so, how do I go about doing it?

Well, what if you just remove the default language EN from the email sending step. If a user triggers the workflow, which will then in turn send the email, the workflow is started in the corresponding language. If you don't have a default language set up, the email sending step might use the language in which the workflow was started (Which in your case might be correct). I am not sure this, but you might try it.
In general I think the best approach is the one that I explained in my previous answer already. You need find out the email receivers language, and use (=make the binding from the workflow container to the email sending step language parameter) that language in the email sending step. The only "difficult" part is to how to get the receiver user's language in to the WF container. Basically the idea would be that you create for example a new step in your workflow. In this step you will what is the language of the email receiver user, and return it to the workflow container. Then just bind it to the email sending step.

Karri

Currupted Workflow Manager Configuration, RE-Installation Guidence?

Dear All,
We have few workflows which are currently running in our SP 2013 server farm. The workflows stopped working for sometime, when we examined the errors, we could see that we are no longer able to open the workflow manager and Service Bus configuration wizards,
they say a certificate is missing in the certificate Store.
But on visiting the certificate store, I can see that there is a certificate with the Thumbprint specified in the error but it is expired.
We are not able to find any guidance on how to solve these errors. The Workflow Manager documentation doesn't have this info as on date.
We can't make our workflows run in the usual way.
We can't find any guidance on how to re-install the Workflow Manager on such server Farm with workflows deployed and with their history.
Could you please let us know any possible solution.
Best regards,
Prem
-Prem

In Test env try to remove all servers from the farm without deleting dbs or uninstalling, then rejoin them, and recreate the certs.
