Workflow is vanishing after creation

Hi,
using MDM 5.5 SP6.
I'm connecting via the rich clients from my desktop pc th the server.
Visio is installed locally.
Visio enhancement / plugin is installed.
I'm just trying to get to know the workflows. So far everything ist fine. Found some nice descriptions and "how-to"s about the topic.
Nevertheless - the problem I came across today puzzles me now for some hours.
How come that some of the workflows (in fact most) disappear after creation?
So what do I do?
- having a validation rule created
- adding a new workflow
- giving name and code and description
- designing the workflow with viso - refering to the validation rule
- rule looks like: start - process - validation - approve - stop
- pressing the save button!
- closing visio
- trying to apply the workflow to some records for testing
- then - the context menu - "add to job" is greyed out - there is no workflow available
- back to the workflow table - "here it is"
- pressing the viso button (the trhee dots)
- visio opens - but empty...
So what do I do wrong?
Is the workflow file supposed to be saved at a special place on my hard drive?
Maybe someone can give a hint...
Thank you in advance
Martin

Hi Martin,
Your Workflow created in MS Visio is not getting saved correctly thats the reason you are not able to run the workflow.
- Try creating a very simple workflow say Start->Process->Stop and then check if you are able to execute the workflow.
- Also make sure you are using the right compatible version of MS Visio ie 2003 with MDM.
- Also refer the below document to check and see taht you have perform the right settings needed.

WTF: Panoramics Vanish after creation in CS4

Perhaps because using CS4 as trial (had difficult install, so not wanting to register until sure will work on this computer)?
Trying to make simple panoramic - 5 jpeg images - directly in PS (not from Bridge)
File>Automate>Photomerge
Select all the files.
PS-CS4 starts churning away, opens file named something like "unnamed panoramic1", informs me that is "aligning images based on content."
Things go well until it is apparently done, when the "unnamed panoramic1" file abruptly vanishes from the tabbed windows (yes, trying them). It cannot be found in "recent files", and cannot be found on the hard-drive where the images (all) were read from.
So ... what has happened to the output pano file?
Why is there no prompt to save, and it simply vanishes after (presumably) the images have been merged?
XPP/3, Core 2 Duo, 4 GB RAM, 5 TB HDs w 300 GB free on work drive. Small jpg images (3 MB ea), 200 GB free on PS Scratch Drive, 80 GB on Windoz Paging Drive.
ptGUI, APP, CS3 all have no difficulty merging these simple images - no do I think that CS4 does, it simply does not SAVE the RESULTS. Am I missing something obvious?
This is my first use of CS4, and am not impressed - as have already bought it am suffering from "buyers remorse", and wished that I had waited a few months ... wasting time I could be being productive.

PhotoMerge appears to have been broken.
The above failure was not because of lack of 'activation', as I went ahead, entered my serial number and activated, with the same result.
Selecting only two, easily matched images, again the "untitled_Panorama1" one file vanished at the end of processing.
CS4 did not ship with the 'manually align plugin', so copied that from CS3, and again tried to merge the two-image pano. This time, an errmsg popped up saying that "CS4 was unable to automatically align 'some' images [um, there were only two, and was not that the point of MANUALLY align]", then displayed a completely transparent "untitled_Panorama1" image and LOCKED.
Random clicking on the interface produced a "This program has ..." error (I saved the error dump, if anyone from Adobe is interested) and died.
To re-iterate, I have yet to be able to create the simplest two-image panorama with CS4 on two, quite different, XPP/3 systems. This with images that CS3 has no trouble with on these same systems(nor do other pano programs).
Something is clearly wrong here.

How to trigger an SMS after creation of Activity / Interaction Record

Dear Experts,
Our Client requirement is to trigger an SMS immediately after creation of an Interaction Record. I want to define an Action for this.
But what processing type should I use for SMS, (like Method Call, Smart Forms Mail / Fax / Print and Workflow). We are using an external service provider domain to send SMS to our customers. It has been configured in SCOT.
But from CRM configuration front there is no specific processing type for SMS. then how system reads telephone number from the BP master.
Kindly help me to resolve the issue, your suggestions will be highly appreciated.
Best regards
Raghu ram

Raghu,
In your case you could copy a "print" action method class and create a z-version. Then modify the print action method so that the smartform output triggers a call to your output type.
Or you could just code a new method that creates a new BCS send request using the CL_BCS document and your output type.
It just depends on how whether you want to use smartforms to build the message or build it in some other method.
Take care,
Stephen

Delegate Calendar Entries disappear seconds after creation

Environment.
Exchange 2010 on prem. Office 2013. CEO and COO have the same Executive Assistant. This person has Manage Full Access Permissions for both CEO and COO.
She regularly adds calendar events to either persons calendar without issue for the past 5 months since she started. Until today. Now, on either calendar, as soon as she creates a Meeting or Appointment, it disappears after 3-10 seconds.
Ran the repair process on Office. Same issue. Removed the Manage Full from both accounts and added it back. Same issue. Had both CEO and COO manually give her delegate access through Outlook. Same issue.
Any suggestions would be much appreciated.
Thanks.

I was faced with the exact similar problem of my COO sharing her calendar with 2 admin assistants whereby one of them was having issues updating
the calendar as they would vanish within 20-25 seconds after creation whereas the other assistant was successfully able to do so without any problems even though she was also on cached mode.
After banging our heads with zillion’s of tests of profile, online mode, offline mode, new profiles, New Laptop, New Configuration, Active Sync
devices such as Apple, BB, Androids and going through lot of hue and cry on forums, I opened up a call with Microsoft and they pointed me to Exchange 2010 registry entries which eventually did the job. I would only like to summarize my solution which is:
Refer to
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff477612(v=exchg.141).aspx
for default values which will be altered in the solution.
Event ID 9646 was being logged under my application event
viewer indicating the following error
Mapi session “ “ exceeded the maximum of 500 objects of type "objtFolder".
RESOLUTION:
To resolve this issue, you simply need to create the following registry keys on each of your mailbox servers.
Navigate to HKLM > System > CurrentControlSet > Services > MSExchangeIS > ParametersSystem. Create a new key in ParametersSystem
named MaxObjsPerMapiSession. In MaxObjsPerMapiSession, create a DWORD named
objtFolder with a decimal value of 600.
Please note that the DWORD keys should have the same upper and lower case combination therefore copy it from the article above and paste
in your registry.
The Information Store will pick up these changes after a few minutes; you do not need to restart the Information Store service. If you continue
to see this error, only this time specifying that the user has exceeded the new 600 object threshold, increase the value of each DWORD by 100 until the errors stop.
Similarly, you can see Event ID 9646 indicating other objects also being exceeded as per the above Tech Note and similarly registry entries need
to be keyed in resolve the issue.
You will also have to see the user side Sync Issue logs under outlook as they keep indicating various error codes which relate to these problems
and many more. At times we tend to ignore such logs however are very meaningful.
Sharing this to minimize a lot of headaches for fellow colleagues who should not suffer the way we did.

Purchase order rate change after creation of gr.

In t- code ME22N PO line item Rate change is possible after creation of GR against that line item.
We want to restrict the po line item rate change after creation of goods receipt against that line item.
Please suggest.

solution 1 : Do not give authorization for ME22
solution 2 : Grey out price chage , it should only be possible thru info records, and give authorization of info records in secured hands.
You should not totally restrict price change after GR because there are possibilities that you might require to change rate after goods receipt also. In that case you have to change rate and then have to give restrospective effect to GR.
try above 2 solutions which are simple

Auto Creation of Delivery with PGI and Billing after creation of Sale Order

Dear Experts,
I am having one Req. like...After creation of sales order ..automatic Delivery and Billing should be done.
Right now i m able to create automatic Delivery but PGI is not happening for that delivery.
Is there any configuration I have to do ... or by any user exit we can get the solution.
Can u please provide me solution for this.
Regards,
Sanket.

Hello,
yes, you can create the PGI Atomatically by BATCH JOB using the program nder the VL23 transaction code.
Goto the Transaction code SM36 to create a job for the program SAPMSSY0 which is the program for the AUTO PGI
create a variant for the Delivery document types and sales organisation combinatioans and add this variant to the bath job created in SM36.
Set the time of the Job to run after every 5 minutes, so once the job exected it will pcik all the Deliveries which are pending for the PGI.
After the PGI done you can run SDBILLDL program to create the Billing for all the document which were cleared and due for Billing.
Hope it is clear for yo, please revert if you need frther clarification .

Serial Numbers are not downloading after creation of Delivery in ECC

Dear all,
As per client business process, we need to download Serial numbers after creation of Outbound delivery.
I could see the generated Serial numbers in ECC Delivery document, but those Serial numbers are not downloading into CRM.
I have already done initial download for SERIALNUMBER object and I could see downloaded serial numbers in COM_TA_R3_ID Table.
But after creation of Outbound delivery in ECC, those delivered serialnumbers are not available in CRM system, even after successful data transfer of Sales Order, Delivery, PGI and Invoice documents Information.
Kindly help me in resolving the above issue
Best regards
Raghu ram

Hi
1.Check in material master whether serial number management is active in Plant data/stor Tab and serial number profile is assigned
2. Check while doing MIGO once if u enter the material and transfer qty you are getting the serial number tab or not
3. If everything is ok, then after posting the document check the serial number status in IQ09, check the stock type and the storgae location in the serdata tab
