Workflow Issue For Documentary

I'm about to start importing clips for an hour long documentary. I have a G4 Powerbook with Final Cut Express and this computer a G4 with FCP5.
Ideally, I would like to be able to digitize my sound bytes into the Powerbook so that I can take it with me for transcription purposes.
I've never done this before and I haven't used an EDL since my AVID days. I'd like some suggestions on the best way to go about this. I do have an 80gig Lacie Drive that I can move between computers. Of course, the more organized and sensible I can be in the editing process the easier the edit will be.
An engineer for CNN I ran into at CompUSA suggested that I edit in offline RT on the laptop and then transfer everything to my G4. Evidently many CNN editors doing long-form in the field do this.
Anyway I'm not sure how to go about that so I don't even know what questions to ask at this point.
Any ideas would be appreciated.

Yeah, I think there's one issue you might want to know about. Check out this review at Ken Stone's and see what the situation is with timecode in the Viewer:
Review: Final Cut Express
. . . as in, you won't see any. Only the relative position from frame 1 of the captured clip. But, when you bring the project into FCP, the timecode will magically appear. So, it's a little weird to work in FCE w/o TC, but if you're going to FCP, it rights itself.
Second, if you plan on adding any filters with keyframes, you'll find that FCE is limited to two - the first frame and the last.

Workflow issue for leave request

Hi All,
we have workflow which apporves the leave rquest created by an employee through MSS.
It's a standard workflow.The workflow number is 01200003.
The problem is workflow sits in waiting position forever to lock the employee.i.e it doesn't lock the employee neither it gives an error.
The workflow log just shows waiting process.
I tried to check the method which the lock employee task calls and it's a standard method to enqueue employee.
The method works perfectly when it's checked independently through business object.
but when executed through workflow it stucks there.
My problem is the same workflow and the same version is working in our development system but not in qulaity system.
Can anybody tell me how can I find that what's going wrong in there and what can i do to correct it and also how can I stop this waiting workflow.
Thanks
Umang

Hi Umang,
The problem is with DEAD LINE MONITORING of the work flows,
In transaction SWU3, CHeck for the scheduled Background job for Missed dead lines is set or not.
If it is not then you have to set that, it will solve your issue.
Reward points if it resolved your issue.

Workflow Issue for transaction IMA11

HI All,
I am replacing standard WF copying standard one, and decativated standard one and so that new workflow should only be triggered.
Issue is, In SPRO goto below path:
-Invetset management-Appropriation Requests-Approval-Activate Event-Linkage for Workflow Task
There is a setting which shows standard workflow and actiavte button which make sure that if this is activated. then only workflow approval process should be run and in transaction IMa11 approval button shld be greyed out.
But in my case I am not able to config my new WF No. there and as i had decatiavted older workflow so In SPRO its showing deactivated status and making approval button active and because of that approval button is becaming active and now user able to approve request from IMA11 and beside this, workflow is also running for approval process.
so process would at a time either workflow shld approve or tarsnsaction.
Now I want to know how i will config new workflow number in SPRO by replacing older WF No.

Hi Sandeep,
We have a transaction SWETYPV to see and chaneg Work flow linkages.
Please try out there.
Hope this helps.

Workflow issues for checking in content in URM

I am pretty new to the whole workflow thing and am giving it my best shot.
I am trying to trigger the workflow for all new content that has the account 'ABC'. Setting up the criteria was the easy part.
The hard part for me is the statements that actually trigger the workflow.
I used the following statements, where my name is entered into the metadata field xvg_busconname and received this error:
<$wfSet("wfMailSubject","workflow item " & DocName)$>
<$wfSet("wfMessage", "This item has been checked in." & DocName)$>
<$wfNotify(xvg_busconname,"user")$>
Error executing script:
Evaluated value: <$wfSet("wfMailSubject","workflow item " & DocName)$>
<$wfSet("wfMessage", "This item has been checked in." & DocName)$>
<$wfNotify(xvg_busconname,"user")$>. Offset in runtime evaluation is at line 3 and character 27. Could not find the parameter 'xvg_busconname'&lrm;.
wfMailSubject=workflow item
wfMessage=This item has been checked in.
I also tried it slightly different, where my email address was entered into the metadata field xvg_busconeemail:
<$wfSet("wfMailSubject","workflow item " & DocName)$>
<$wfSet("wfMessage", "This item has been checked in." & DocName)$>
<$wfNotify(xvg_busconemail,"emailformat")$>
and recieved this error:
Error executing script:
Evaluated value: <$wfSet("wfMailSubject","workflow item " & DocName)$>
<$wfSet("wfMessage", "This item has been checked in." & DocName)$>
<$wfNotify(xvg_busconemail,"emailformat")$>. Offset in runtime evaluation is at line 3 and character 27. Could not find the parameter 'xvg_busconemail'&lrm;.
wfMailSubject=workflow item
wfMessage=This item has been checked in.
If anyone sees an obvious problem with where I am going wrong, please let me know.
Thanks.

Workflow issue for Overtime Payment

Hello All,
Scenario: Employee enters his overtime hours through ESS.
His overtime gets approved by his manager. Once approved it updates the IT0015 addtional payments with the respective wage type & hrs.
Problem: The employee has applied for overtime for dates ex: 16.04.2008. HI overtime has also been approved by manager.
As per the workflow, it should create a record in IT0015. But its not updating/creating any record in IT005.
It gives error message: "personnel number(s) could not be locked:
My logic: As per my understanding, the personnel no has been was locked by some other process in system.
I chekced the status of the workflow through SWi1 in graphic, here it shows as " Completed" with no errors.
Kindly advice me as what needs to be done in this case.Shall we ask the user to apply again? or whats the solution?
Thanks & Regds,
Nithi

Hi Nithi,
In this case you probably can add the entry in infotype 0015 manually. But you should also take a look at the workflow. There should be check after the step for adding the entry if the update was succesful, if not you could wait for a certain period and try again. Us a counter in this loop so after a certain amount of tries you could send a task to a HR administartor (or someone like that) who should do the update manually.
This way you could avoid these kind of errors.

Martin

LR 3 Bug Report - file renaming error - significant workflow issue

System configuration:
MacPro Dual 2x2.66Ghz Dual Core Intel Xeon
9GB RAM
OSX 10.6.4
Lightroom Application on System Drive
Canon .CR2 files and Lightroom Catalog on internal software-based RAID drive
Camera Raw Cache set to 50GB and resident on System drive
Here is the issue:
Once I finish the first round of editing a group of photos, I then rename them with the title of the event and a sequence number. I use LR's batch rename feature in the Library module. If I then delete 1 or more of these photos and attempt to rename them again(same event title + numerical sequence), the new names do not properly apply the numerical sequence after the filename. Either of the following can happen, and whcih one will happen is not dependednt on what I do.
1. The files can be renamed, with the first image having a sequence number 1 number higher than the lowest number I typed into the sequence box in the batch rename dialog (if I type a number 1, the sequence starts at 2). There are also random gaps in the sequence numbering scheme. For example, the numbers will count to 15, then skip to 17, then count to 176, then skip to 178. The rest of the files might be renamed correctly, or there might be gaps. The gaps always skip a single number, and most of the time the numbers skipped are odd numbers, though numbers with a 16 are usually skipped (16, 116, 216)
2. The files can be renamed as mentioned above, but with the addition of a -1 to the end of the sequence (example: filename-200-1 or filename-3-1). The addition of the -1 is also random, though it is more common with lower-numbered files than higher-numbered files.
I have experienced this bug on groups as small as 50 photos or as large as several hundred. I have tried remaning the files to a completely different text/sequence combination and then back to the one I want, and it does not help the issue. The sequence numbering is more likely to have more gaps the more virtual copies are present in the series of photos being renamed.
This is a major workflow issue for me because the files I deliver have to be named sequentially, without gaps, following a specific text/numer naming convention. The bug is currently adding many extra hours to my post-production time. Any assitance would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you

Thanks for the detailed description. I was able to repro this with your steps and have logged a bug for futher investigation.

Import container contains errors issue for Release Strategy workflow

Hello Experts,
I have copied the standard workflow WS20000075 for PO approval on Release step.
the copied workflow works fine in sandbox system, but in the test system I get an error saying 'import container contains errors (are any obligatory elements missing?)' I guess 'ReleaseCode' is not getting passed to the Workflow from the PO creation T-code.
I went thru few SCN post, did check all the Linkages as said, everything seems to be ok. but still cannot trigger the workflow.
need guidance as to where I may be going wrong.
Regards,
Jibran

Hi Jibran
If the WF is working in sandbox, it means that your definition, linkages etc are correct.
Please check if the following note is relevant for you or not:
1770720 - PO workflows run into error SFW_RUN594 - Import container contains errors
It's about correcting the settings in SWEC and SWE2 (correct for your custom workflow definition)
If not, then confirm with your MM consultant if the release strategy is configured correctly or not....take hints from the following SCN thread:

Workflow issue with Bridge and everything else

Short and sweet. Well, not really.
I use windows - so as a result, for some reason unknown to man (after a decade of waiting), I still cannot see "previews" of most, if not all of any adobe software in the windows dialogue boxes.
think PDF's and the registry hacks we have to do to "enable" previews. But on a mac I can?
So I have to use bridge - a lot.
Now when I have a linked image in illustrator (or whatever) and choose "reveal in bridge" it will hunt and drill down through a multitude of folders and display the image in it's native folder - which I can then open in photoshop for instance - edit it - and Illustrator will detect the change and update. Awesome.
But aside from running a script to send a batch job to a program, it really doesn't "do" anything else that one would expect a "bridge" to do;
     I cannot create a "project" portfolio that would track a client project and all it's related documents.
     Or collaborate with a team.
     I cannot have non destructive edits of a document (such as using an instance of a file like lightroom does) - or "send copy to photoshop" and have Bridge stack the results.
     I cannot combine and tag collections of documents (make a database of stuff).
     I cannot ask Bridge to tell me which documents have placed documents, or (vice versa) which documents are placed into other documents - that would be so cool.
          imagine being able to select a jpeg or psd file and have the option to "Find documents using this file"
          or looking at a "project" and having a list of all first level documents with all their subsequent "placed content" listed all drop down expandable
So my beef today is that I finally spent an hour messing about thinking I had something "wrong" and went through Bridge CS6 with a fine tooth comb trying to find out if anything had changed.
and nope - it still doesn't behave as one would think it would.
Currently, I have some documents that require monthly changes to images, which for the most part came from one photo shoot, and all have essentially the same perspective, appearance, lighting and shading, but all different products and I have a folder of "preformatted images". So monthly I really only need to update the images, and a bit of text. Being posters, InDesign whines a bit for vector art manipulation, so I stick to Illustrator for this job.
But in Illustrator, I cannot choose another image to replace my linked image - without either;
     a: (reveal in bridge), select new replacement image - place as a new image, which then needs to be manipulated as the "old" image was, "remaking" all the adjustments, and then finally deleting the original linked image.
     b: (reveal in bridge) keep bridge open on the image I need (and it's name), go back to illustrator to open the "relink" windows dialogue and "blindly" browse till I find the image I want as shown in bridge.
     c: simply relink and browse blindly to find a file you can't see a preview of and guess, or drag and drop, or all the other non practical ways to replace the image.
Option B gives the desired end result where the image I have in a clipping mask, buried in a document in a certain way, with certain effects, is simply replaced without impacting anything else.
     But this takes quite some time when there are a lot of images.
So Bridge and its promised workflow functionality still isn't living up to it's purpose exactly.
Bridge isn't bridging.
With indesign, it's the same issue - you can't "relink" by revealing in bridge, choosing a "replacement" image and "update"
Maybe a "relink with Bridge" choice in the Links menu?
and in bridge, since Illustrator triggered the request, a button appears to "Replace" - once you finish browsing and highlighting the replacement image you need, just click it and it's done.
So two issues -
Why can't previews of adobe files be shown in windows explorer (still)?
     if they did, I'd really have no use for Bridge.
Why isn't bridge actually communicating with the apps connecting to it?
- and yes, I understand that I cannot ask bridge to go find a placed file and replace it with "this" file, but when illustrator "asks" for "this", bridge should be able to "respond" and give "that" since the app initiated the request.
Bridge should be a workflow tool as advertised - it should literally be able to be a proper workflow hub for all things adobe (and be able to catalogue and track all design file type previews - corel files, cad, 3d, etc)... but as it stands it's just a glorified windows explorer without workflow options.
Bridge hasn't been altered in years, and it's still lingering around - I think - so that we can simply see thumbnails, rather than just allowing each adobe program to make "previews" windows needs.
I can change metadata in windows, I can use freeware to change it extensively.
So aside from the "open in" options and the ability to browse all adobe file types, what's the point?

I couldn't read all through your post as I am jetting out of here.
Buy this:
http://www.fastpictureviewer.com/codecs/
and install it. It's relatively cheap. Screen shot is from Windows Explorer.
Handles ID, PSD, etc., files as well. Though the preview uses greeked text for the most part for the ID files.
Take care, Mike

Troubleshooting Approval workflow issues

We are getting this message from time to time and are unsure how to troubleshoot it.
It seems as though something is changing the document, what is the best way to figure out what?
Approval on DOCUMENT NAME has ended because the item that the task process is running on was changed.

Hi Daniel,
1.What message do you get?
2. Look in the Workflow History list, eg "http://sp2013/Lists/Workflow History". Do you find any errors in there?
3. Is the user account starting the workflow correctly synchronized in the user profile database?
4. Is the user account starting the workflow different from the Worflow Manager setup account? (more info at
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj658588.aspx#section7)
5. Are the User Profile Service and App Management Service started? See the green frames in the screenshot below, taken from Central Administration \ Manage Services on Server.
6.Are the App Management Service Application and User Profile Service Application started? Their proxies should be started as well. See the green frames in the screenshot below, taken from

I think for this you need to create a custom workflow. Add Deadline Monitoring to the mail sending step and your issue would get resolved!

MDG - S Workflow issue

Hi,
I have configured the MDG for Supplier where I am using the standard workflow template for Supplier Create - WS53100044.
I have a couple of questions here where I need your expert help.
1.I create a CR, it goes for approval. When I run validation it starts asynchronously. Any idea why this is happening? Though there are no validation errors.
2. I can also approve the CR. If I have Company Code and Purchasing Org data in it then it needs processing but the workflow log says 'No Processor assigned'.
3. If I do not have these information fed in the CR, the workflow gets approved and the next step is 'Decision on Process Contact person'. Here it looks for a reference BP. I do not get the list of BPs to select from. Please advise what is missing.
Thank you in advance..
Regards,
Jayati

Hello Jayati
your validation will always start Asynchronously as it is native feature within MDG. So no issues about it. The good part is you are not getting any validation error.
Since you using standard workflow template, try using other MDG workflow for the Processor assignment. Check the step number under "Define Workflow Step Numbers" step and then check if the correct processor is assigned there. More details can be found if you see the workflow log of your change request.
Regarding the BP issue, try completing the configurations suggested in MDGIMG under Master Data Governance for Supplier --> Set up Business Partner.
Hope this helps you.
thanks

PR release workflow - issue in mulitple level approval

Hi Experts,
I have developed a new workflow for PR release strategy.
Business object: BUS2105 ( Purchase Requistion )
Triggerring event: ReleaseStepCreated
Step1: Workflow started ( Releasestepcreated)
Step2: Approve PR ( Agent1)
Step2a
If yes --> Released to next level (Agent 2 )
Step2b
If No --> Rejected and notified initiator
If Yes --> Notify intiator and exit
Step3b.
If no --> based on next release code and release
group get the next level agent and go to
step2
Step4: Workflow ends.
Issue:
For single step PR release, workflow is working fine.
When PR created with multiple level release, a workflow triggers and notifies the 1st level agent, when the agent releases the PR at 1st level and saves it , workflow is not proceeds to further steps to find the next level agent.
Here i am using the FM to fetch the approvers and assigning the same for release codes.
Please guide me...

Hi
''workflow is not proceeds to further steps''... do you mean that RELEASESTEPCREATED event is not triggered for next step ?
you can check this in SWEL that whether event is getting triggered after first release.
If yes then the issue is in configuration of release strategy where for all release code you need to mark workflow parameter 1.
