Workflow is not working

Hi everybody;
I'm teaching in a University and recently was provided to us a server for testing Podcasting lectures. Xserve 2 Ghz PowerPC G5, 1Gb RAM and 232 Gb HD (just 9 GB used), Leopard 10.5.2 OS. Of course we choose the hard way so no assistance for setup was hired.
My problem is that I can subscribe to my Podcast server with iTunes but I get "no new episodes from Podmac(my group)".
(1) I went into Server Admin under Podcast Producer and set the default Properties. (2) xGrid services and Podcast Producer are runnig.(3) open directory and kerberos are running in the same server. My guess workflow is not working; the files stacking up in the podcast recording directory and nothing goes to the podcasts directory. At Podcast producer server Log I get;
+Thu Apr 10 20:58:54 -0500 2008 -- Processing Podcast Producer Job ID: 14+

Using the xGrid admin I can see the agent available but none job is listed. Can anyone help me pls?

Officially, Podcast Producer only supports Intel-based agents. On a PowerPC based Xserve, the agent ranking will be zero, and podcast producer jobs will not run.
Some people have modified the workflows to ignore the ranking, but there are no guarantees the workflows will run correctly if that's done.

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.

Workflow does not work from Script Menu or as Application

Hi,
I create a really simple script to adjust podcast volume...
1. Get Specified iTunes Items (Recently added podcast – my smart folders of recently downloaded items)
2. Filter Songs in iTunes (Volume Adjustment is 0: so the workflow will not touch podcasts already adjusted.)
3. Set Options of iTunes Songs (Volume Adjustment: 80)
The workflow works find when running from Automator. But when I save it as script plug-in or application and try to run it, nothing happens. Please help. Thanks.
P.S. I tried to create folder action script that adjust the volume automatically when a podcast is downloaded (get selected items -> set options in iTunes songs). At first it works. Now it doesn't.

It starts by pausing iTunes, executes a applescript where there are say commands, pauses for 3 seconds, gets info from ical, filters out todays events, speaks these events out loud, fetches a weather report via web(xml), speaks out loud, pauses a couple of seconds, gets current itunes song, resumes playing of this song and the workflow is finished.
It quits right before it is about to announce todays events. Doesnt matter if there are events for today or not. If I start the application manually however, everything seems fine.
The Applescript used to launch the program:
tell application "TodaysiCal"
run
end tell
Any suggestions now ?

Automatic approval workflow does not work anymore

Hi,
Our automatic approval workflows configured via standard business configuration sets (process controlled) do not work anymore. They did work previously.
After changing the BUS objects 'automatic approval' workflow into the 1-step manager approval workflow it does work.
- The 'automatic approval' workflow does not seem to generate a workitem, the bbp_pd 'workflow' part is empty. In addition previously approved documents via 'automatic approval' do not contain workitem details via bbp_pd either anymore.
- We applied a new SP (SP07) not that long ago.
- These documents go into status: 'awaiting approval', the documents 'approval' details tell us the following:
001 Automatic Approval Valid (Can be Started) Open (No Decision Made) SYSTEM system
However the system does not execute the task, how come? What normally ensures the system executes these 'automatic approval' tasks (report?)?
Any input is very much appreciated.
Kind regards,
Tim

IDM - GRC AC 5.3 integration - workflow detour not working as expected

Hi IDM Experts!
I would greatly appreciate your help with the problem we're currently facing; when integrating IDM with GRC, 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!

Multiple scheduled workflows does not work correctly

Hi All,
I hava made a simple workflow who executes a powershell script with the latest SMLETS, this workflows is triggered when a new incident is created and after the script change the status of the related computer that is affected by the incident.
When I do this just for one computer it works very fine, but when I create by example 4 incidents for several computers the workflows does not change the status of the comptuers.
For the moment I create a incident and I wait the workflows is finished and i continue to create the next incident it is ok. But I cannot to put this in production environment where several analyst create incient for several devices.
Any Idea?
Thank you
MIKE

Hi,
Ben was right when asked you to share the PS code.
It seems that it works for one instance and doesn't work for multiple ones. It's a regular case when you get objects using search request. Share the PowerShell code and receive the prompt within minutes.
Cheers,
Marat

CQ 5.5 Workflow package not working in CQ 5.6

Hi,
I have a CQ Workflow package which is triggered on asset uploads in DAM. It was craeted for CQ 5.5 and works very well there. Now when I tried to install it in CQ 5.6 it does not seem to be working at all. The only error I see in logs is "Process definition not found" related to the package. There is no other information whatsoever.
Can anyone provide any directions on what could be the issue ?
I thought there would be backward compatibility between CQ 5.6 and 5.5 but clearly it is not the case.
Appreciate any help here.
Thanks!

Hi,
The issue seems to be with CQ 5.6 & Java 1.7. One of the workaround is by adding -XX:-UseSplitVerifier option to the JVM. Also you have to update the API from 'com.day.cq.workflow' to 'com.adobe.granite.workflow' .
Thanks

Workflow binding not working - authorization problem?

Hi Experts,
I have the following problem in 4.6C that happens only for a specific user, so maybe an authorization problem.
There is a task in the workflow that calls a method with ME21N. The method takes the PO after the transaction call, creates a BUS2012 object from it and passes it to the task. The task then passes it back to the workflow. The next step of the workflow uses this PO object.
For this specific user, the ME21N method executes fine, PO is created. The task container in the wf log shows the object in it. But the workflow container does not have it, so it was not passed from the task to the workflow. Hence, the next task that uses the object does not start but the workflow system raises an error:
OL 808: Object with runtime number '0' not defined
WFEA 031: Step 0000000058 of WS********: Binding from workflow to work item aborted
This happens only for one specific user, everyone else can execute the tasks without a problem, the PO object is passed to the workflow.
Is there a specific authorization object required for the bindings of the workflow to work correctly?
Any help is appreciated.
Regards,
Krisz

Hello,
You can check for authorization problems in SU53.
Did this suddenly start happening for this user, since when? I'd doublecheck that binding.

Problem - SCSM Change status workflow does not work, shows huge "minutes behind" in SQL, but do not appear as failed.

There is a workflow "Change request status changed" which periodically fails to run, and it does not show up in "All instances" tab. For instance when I cancel a CR, all activities remain as-is in their respective statuses.
SQL - "SubscriptionStatus" from
http://blogs.technet.com/b/servicemanager/archive/2013/01/14/troubleshooting-workflow-performance-and-delays.aspx
shows increasing number of "minutes by" each minute for this particular workflow.
Restarting "Management service" does not give enything. As well as "UpdateSubscriptionWatermark" SQL from the link above (except resetting the "minutes behind" counter)
Please help!

SRM SC Workflow is not working as per BRF expressions

We are having SRM 7.0 SP5
Based on SC item values, We are determining whether the process level is required or not using BRF expressions.
For a particular data, only 2 process levels are selected.
But I go into debugger mode and skip one process level.
After SC is ordered, when I see the approval process there is only one level.
But when I come out from that SC, and go back to the same one and see, there is 2 process levels(when I am expecting only one).
Can anyone help me out on this? Thanks.

Hello,
As you are only in SP 5 (last Support Package is 12), i advise you to upgrade until SP 11 or to implement all OSS notes for SRM-EBP-WFL-PC application area.
Indeed, many, many problems occur with Process-Controlled Workflow...

NStep Workflow BADI not working

Hi,
I am trying to Activate nstep Approval WF using BADI.
Afetr event linkage in SWE2 for SC WS14000133
I am getting message:
<i>Approval workflow is ambiguous. Inform system administrator</i>
Is it prerequisite for maintain Start condition for WF WS14000133 ?If yes could you send me details how can I maintain it in SWB_COND ?
Is there any step which I am missing for this BADIs
implementation in Custmization?
How can I be in debugging mode after creation of SC?
Regards,
Sachin

Hi Sachin,
I am not able to understand your requirement...What exactly is your requirement?Do you wnat a very flexible SC approval strategy or just Approval based on some start conditions like total value of SC/Roles???
Accordingly,you will have to decide which WF to be used..As i said earlier,you can have only 1 WF active for the Object type BUS2121.
So first decide which WF's you wnat to activate...For more info pls refer the foll links

OEOH workflow is not working

Hi All,
I am following the below steps for testing:
1) Create Internal requisition( Purchasing)
2) Run the program Create Internal Orders(Purchasing)
3) Run the program Import Orders (Order Management Super user).
I am facing following issues,
The order is created but not booked in the system.The status is 'ENTERED'. When I am trying to book it manually its saying(though it should get booked automatically as per test scripts)
"Order is not eligible for booking. Check workflow status for this order.".
I checked the OEOH workflow , the status was Active and there was no activity started.
Also in the order there was no line items created though there was lines in my requisition.
What is going wrong.Please help me on this.
Regards,
Debanjan

Please see below my comments:
Do you have the "Workflow Background Engine" concurrent program running for the Order Header type?
Yes.
From the order, from the actions button, have you tried the "Progress Order" action?
When try this I get the below error:
There are no eligible activities to be completed.
Do you have any error messages in the log from when you ran the order import?
Yes, I see the below error:
