Workflow initiate is not working in p6 8.3

Hi,
I have installed the Primavera 8.3 and integrated with BPM.
The issue is when i click the workflow initiate in p6 dashboard, its opening one new window in that its showing p6 application URL as
"Your session has expired. For security reasons users are automatically logged out after an extended period of inactivity. Please login again"
Please help me to fix this issue.
Am waiting for valuable update.
Thanks
Kumar

Hi sachin,
Thanks for the update.
At the time of configuration we have copied the connector file and bpm library files in two different directories.
And also we have given permissions to those directories in weblogic.policy file.
One clarification sachin,
In my environment, under the admin server two managed servers are running like bpm_server, soa_server.
bam_server Machine RUNNING OK 9001
soa_server  Machine RUNNING OK 8001
But my bpm workspace url running like
http://localhost:8001/bpm/workspace
So while bpm configuration in p6 its asking workspace url I have given like as http://localhost:9001
please suggest me which port number whether 8001 or 9001, I need to give in configuration.
Thanks
Kumar

  • The Create List Item workflow action does not work in document library with document template

    My end goal is more complex but below is a basic example of the issue I’m having that just simply does not work.
    I'm trying to use a site workflow to create an item in a document library that has a document template applied to it but the file that gets created by the workflow is corrupt and cannot be opened.
    I created a document library and edited the document template by adding some text to the header and changing it to a Word docx file instead of a Word dotx file. I tested the document template by clicking the files tab in the ribbon and then clicking new
    document which opens the document template in Word and allows me to edit and save the document back to SharePoint. Then I created a SharePoint 2013 site workflow in SharePoint Designer that contains a single Create List Item action, and that action creates
    an item in the document library with the name field statically defined. I published the workflow and then manually start it on the site. The workflow completes successfully and when I navigate to the document library the document has been created by the workflow.
    When I click on the document to open it in the Word Web App it throws the error pictured below and if I open it in the Word client application it just opens a blank document and not the correct document template.
    I also tried using a SharePoint 2010 workflow with pretty much the same results. Opening the document in Word Web App gives the same error as above and opening the document in the Word client application gives the error pictured below.
    Come on Microsoft creating a Word Document in a SharePoint Document Library from a SharePoint Workflow should just work! Is this a bug or does anyone have any ideas on what is causing the this issue?

    I had the same problem with corrupted document - this worked for me:
    1. Create a 2010 Workflow which creates the list element in a document library
    (you may start this workflow from your 2013 workflow if applicable)
    2. In the Create New List Item properties - make sure to set ContentTypeId to your content type
    ("Id for indholdstype" is Danish for "Contenttype ID")
    3. Your Content Type template should be a ".docx" file - NOT a ".dotx" file...!
    (I have always created my templates for content types as .dotx files - seems Microsoft wants us to use ordinary .docx files as template files for content types)
    Hope this helps you!

  • Oracle Workflow Delegate is not Working for the Adhoc Role

    Hi All,
    I have a requirement where I want to send the workflow notification to the Adhoc role and then if the people who are part of the adhoc role are on vacation then the notification should get delegate to the person set by the first approver. Somehow delegate is not working here.
    Please let us know if anyone of you have worked on such requirement or have come across this situation.

    Thanks for the replying on the issue.
    This issue has been resolved now.
    In WF_NOTIFICATION.route procedure, Following query was selecting the Adhoc role name instead of the fnd_user, We have changed our custom in such way that there should always be fnd_user for the follwoing query.
             SELECT   WN.RECIPIENT_ROLE, WN.MESSAGE_TYPE, WN.MESSAGE_NAME

  • When using tokens in workflows, notify is not working

    I have created a token to add the business manager. <$wfAddUser(xvg_busconname, "user")$>
    With this, I now am thinking that whatever username is in the custom metadata fields vg_busconname will be used for my notification.
    Next, I create a workflow that makes use of this token. In the first step I add this token as a user.
    When the workflow is activated, the notification does not take place.
    If, in the same step, I remove the token, and add in an alias, that contains a user, the user is notified.
    Since this needs to work dynamically, I can not see being able to use an alias, because I do not know which user will be placed in the metadata field vg_busconname.
    I am not sure why the workflow is not working when I try to use a token instead of an alias. Am I missing something simple?
    Thanks!

    I am not sure what I did exactly to resolve this, but it is all working great now so please disregard my previous posting on this

  • Time based workflow:wait action not working

    I need to build a workflow for sending mail to manager if for an opportunity sales stage "requirement" remains for more than 30 days,I have given the workflow condition as:
    ([<SalesStage>] = "01 - Requirements")
    & then 2 actions 1st "Wait" & then "Send mail" somehow its not working.Please guide where i am getting wrong..

    Let me understand your business case: You need to send ONE email to the manager of the opportunity owner, if the Sales Stage = '01 - Requirements' for more that 30 days.
    You need two workflows and a unused/custom field (a boolean field is preferred). Both workflows are similar. The first workflow is based on the event - When new record saved. This workflow will be invoked as soon as a new opportunity is created. The second workflow is invoked whenever the opportunity is modified using the event - When modified record saved. Any user who has edit rights to the opportunity could modify the opportunity but not change the sales stage. This results in an unpleasant situation where the manager could be flooded with emails. That's where we use the boolean field to protect against multiple updates and ensure a single email is sent after 30 days if the sales stage is still '01 - Requirements'
    Workflow 1
    Record Type: Opportunity
    Event: When new record saved
    Condition:[<SalesStageId>] = "12ASA-XCD34" AND ([<IndexedBoolean0>] IS NULL OR [<IndexedBoolean0>] = "N")
    Note:
    1. IndexedBoolean0 is the field named Indexed Checkbox in the list of fields
    2. I have used the sales stage id. You have to find out the sales stage id for '01 - Requirements' and use it here.
    Workflow 1 - Actions (remember to activate all actions and workflows)
    1. Action = Wait
    Period= 30 days
    Reevaluate Rule Conditions After Wait = Y
    2. Action = Field Update After Wait
    Field Name = Indexed Checkbox
    Value = "Y"
    Overwrite Existing Values = Y
    3. Action = Email
    From > Specific Email Address> "[email protected]"
    To > Relative User On Record > Opportunity Owner's Manager
    Repeat this workflow configuration for Workflow 2, where the only difference is the event which should be When modified record saved
    Exposing the Indexed Checkbox on the opportunity detail page layout for all users is optional (not recommended). It might be a good idea to expose this checkbox on the opportunity detail page for the administrator role only... so that he/she can take corrective action if an email is not sent after 30 days.

  • Extended Notifications - Workflow Inbox link not working

    Hi,
    I have configured SWNCONFIG to send Extended Notifications. E-mails are being sent but the link for Workflow Inbox (configured in Subscription Settings - SHOW_INBOX_AS = LINK1) only takes to the enterprise portal home page not the inbox. I have search to have this fixed but with no luck. Does anyone know how to solve this?
    Thanks in advance.

    I have follow the configuration in this links:
    Configuring Notifications (View Cluster) (SAP Library - Embedded Processes (SAP Business Workflow))
    Subscription (SAP Library - Embedded Processes (SAP Business Workflow))
    It does not refer any specific link to the inbox. Only to activate the service: default_host  → sap  → bc  → workflow → shortcut
    And to use SHOW_INBOX_AS = LINK1 and define the portal url in parameter WG_HOST in General Settings. In addition the url while navigating in the portal is always the same (e.g either on the home page or in the workflow inbox), so I guess its the system job to re-direct to the Workflow Inbox, but this does not seem to be happening for some reason.

  • Workflow conditional statement not working

    I have 2 level approvals of objects in Documents list.
    The document first uploaded by user and then first need to get approval from HR Line Manager and then get approval from HR manager.
    the attach image shows shows workflow , the issue is either I select approve or reject in first approval the if statement is always true , it should not go inside if statement if first approval is rejected by HR Line Manager roles
    Tech Learner

    Hi,
    To make the condition work in the workflow, there are two more things need to be done:
    1. Enable content approval in the Documents library which the workflow is associated with.
    Go to the Library Settings page of the Documents library > click Versioning settings > select Yes under Require content approval for submitted items.
    If we do not enable this, the value of Approval Status column will always be Approved.
    2. Add a Set Workflow Variable step above the Start Approval Process step and set it to Yes in the workflow.
    After adding the Set Workflow Variable step, we can set the Approval Status column when we approve or reject the task process. Otherwise the Approval Status column will not change no matter how the task process works.
    Thanks,

  • Setting Workflow status not working in imported workflow from SPD to Visual Studio

    Hi all,
    I have created SPD workflow and imported in visual studio. When I deploy imported Workflow using visual studio feature I found that Setting Workflow Status action is not working. Do I need to change Set Workflow status activity in Visual studio to make it
    work.
    Rohit Pasrija

    Hi,
    According to your post, my understanding is that Setting Workflow status did not work in imported workflow from SharePoint Designer to Visual Studio.
    I try to reproduce the issue and the result is the same as yours.
    After I import the workflow, choose the .xoml file, the view is as below:
    To troubleshooting the issue, I add a new item to the project and select “Sequential Workflow” in the template.
    After I click the Tool, I find that there don’t have the “SetCustomWorkflowStatus1” activity.
    To set the status of the state, we need to use the “Set State” Activity in the “SharePoint Workflow” toolbar.
    That is the reason why the “SetCustomWorkflowStatus1” activity does no work.
    More information:

  • GRC AC 5.3 Detour not working as expected in workflow

    Hi GRC Experts!
    I would greatly appreciate your help with the problem we're currently facing; we have configured 2 CUP workflows; one for handling requests with SoD violations (Workflow B) and one to handle ones without any SoD violations (Workflow C), with the former handling risk analysis followed by role approval, and the latter handling only role approval; we have one path with one stage configured as "No Stage" (Workflow A); this path is used to decide which of the primary workflows to use (i.e. SoD violations or no SoD violations) using two detours; we have one detour configured to use Workflow B if any SoD violations are found in the request and another detour configured to use Workflow C if no SoD violations are found.
    Currently what happens in our tests is that requests without risks / SoD violations work fine and actually get detoured to Workflow C, awaiting role approval from the right approver ; while requests with inherent risks / SoD violations unforutnately get automatically approved and provisioned rather than being sent to Workflow B
    Any clues as to why this could be happening? We've checked if there are any settings that might be triggering it to automatically approve requests despite any risks, but can't find anything of the sort; Would be very grateful for any insight / advice on the issue.
    Thanks a lot in advance!
    Best regards,
    Sandeep

    Hi Diego!
    Once again; thank you for your quick reply!
    I did recheck the auto-provisioning issue and I can confirm that it is definitely set to "No Auto-provisioning" and it hasn't been changed recently. The strange thing is that the detour works for NO SoD violations, but doesn't work for SoD violations; find below the audit trail for detour working:

    I even checked the CUA System section, and the "By system" tab and it was empty; there were no specific system configurations.
    And to answer your questions:
    Since Workflow A is the path with the Initiator, the detour flag is deactivated and the active flag is activated.
    WF B & C have both the active and detour flags activated.
    Thanks a lot again for your quick responses and all the help you've provided so far!

  • Purchase order release strategy Workflow not working

    Hi All,
    I am working on PO Approval release strategy and it is not working fine . The release strategy set up is configured by my functional consultant . I just copied the standard workflow template WS20000075 and making changes to my custom workflow template . When ever po is created an event "RELEASESTEPCREATED" get triggered and the first approver receives an workitem and when he approves it goes to Second Approver and it is working fine . But when rejected then a notification email goes to initiator . Now when an initiator login into ME22N and made any changes ( even material text change ) in it then again "RELEASESTEPCREATED" event getting triggered . But I need to trigger my workflow only when there is change in PO Net value .
    Kindly help me how to achieve this functionality .
    Thanks and regards
    Dilip

    Hi Vikram,
    There is already an existing entry for BUS2012 with event CHANGED against the change doc EINKBELEG .
    Acutlly when login as initiator and try to change PO through ME22N here are my observations :
    case 1:   When Buyer click on  " Cancel Reject " button and do any changes ( even text change ) then RELEASESTEPCREATED and CHANGED events  are triggering  . But since the event linkaged is set to RELEASESTEPCREATED workflow get restarted again.
    Even the CHANGE event does'nt have 'RELEASECODE' as parameter to restart workflow .
    Case 2:  When Buyer doesn't click on " Cancel Rejection" buttion and do any changes then only CHANGE event get triggered
    which do nothing since there is no event linkage .
    Is to  click on " Cancel Reject" button mandatory ? .  But even though we make " Cancel Reject"  as Button mandatory then RELEASESTEPCREATED Button triggering for any change but we need to trigger it for only net Value change .
    Thanks and regards,.

  • Customer Workflows Not Working from SRM Inbox

    Hi everyone,
    We are upgrdaing our EBP v3.5 system to SRM 5.0 (SRM SERVER 5.5 SP 5).
    We are using integrated ITS and have many bespoke workflows which need to executeable in the SRM inbox via the integrated ITS and ultimately the portal (EP 7.0).
    We have various issues with our bespoke workflows not working. The 2 errors we have found are:
    1. When the users click on the workitem from the SRM inbox they sometimes see 'Service Cannot be Reached' error.
    2. Other times they see the workitem details with no user decision buttons shown.
    3. Other times the user decision buttons are shown but if the user clicks on one, they see a blank page with text "workitem currently locked by user WF_BATCH" at the top. This is an 'advance with dialog' task which works fine via SAPGUI.
    Any ideas on any of the specific issues, or anything which we need to do generally to get custom workitems to be executeable via the ITS?
    Thanks a lot,
    Nick

    Hi abhijit,
    I checked that but I set it to blank in debug mode..but its still disappearing...the button disappears after pressing enter on error message.
    actually the BADI when I implemented there is one method where I set E_ADD_ON_ACTIVE flag to 'X' to bring that button(recommended by SAP). that method is not getting called...

  • SP2010 Designer workflow "Set Content Approval Status" does not work

    Hello
    I'm having a problem with a workflow for one of my clients.It is a SharePoint 2010 environment and I can only use SharePoint 2010 designer (no visual studio).
    We have an approval workflow in place, which works great. After the document approval workflow has does its thing, a new workflow can be launged by specific users (they have writing rights and can approve content). The workflow is used to set the release
    date of the document. This can only be determined after content approval.
    However, when the release date is set, the document approval status is changed to concept. This is of course to be expected, as we changed to document metadata. That is why I wanted to add the action "Set content approval" to this workflow. I cannot
    seem to get this action to work. Right now the workflow does the following:
    check out the document (check out is obligatory in our library)
    set the release date field to the released date parameter (defined when starting the workflow)
    check in the document
    set content approval to approved.
    The release date gets set to the parameter value, but the document is not checked in and the content approval status is not set. SharePoint produces the following error message (translated from Dutch): "An error occured. Cannot edit the item, possibly
    because one or more columns require another type of content. Unknown error."
    Guided by other posts online I gathered that this might be because the actions checkin and set content approval occur to close together. I tried letting the workflow pause for the duration of 1 minute after checking in, but this pauses the workflow indefinitely.
    I then tried 5 minutes (as this is the time standard set by SP2010 designer) but this also resulted in indefinite pausing.
    Posts online lead me to believe that I'm not the only suffering from this problem, but as of yet, I haven't been able to find a solution that works for me. Hopefully someone can help me.

    Hi,
    According to your post, my understanding is that the "Set Content Approval Status" didn’t work in SharePoint 2010 Designer workflow.
    I try to reproduce the issue and the result is the same as yours.
    If I only check out and check in the item, the workflow works well.
    However, once I set Content Approval Status after checking in the item, the workflow get error.
    As a workaround, I recommend to use two workflow to achieve what you want.
    First, create the first workflow, and allow the workflow to be manually started.
    Then, create the second workflow, and
    start the workflow automatically when an item is changed.
    When you start the first workflow, the document will be set value of the release date. And then the second workflow will be started automatically to set the content approval status.
    Thank you for your understanding.
