Workflow not created

Hello all,
I created a workflow and transported to QAS. it was working fine. I was asked to make some changes by business users. I made changes in DEV ( tested too) and transported to QAS. Now i see in SWEL (in QAS) workflow gets triggered but the workflow is not started. i can see the message receiver started correctly (trace data->action of swel). but i don't get the WORKITEM button on top. nor does the object key in reciver data gets populated.
more info : transported to QAS. tested but changes didn't reflect. so opened up QAS. activated new workflow changes again. now workflow doesn't start at all.
can anyone help ? did anyone had issues similar to these.
thanks

Hi,
What was the problem?
Is it due to lack of CUSTOMIZING REQUEST TRANSPORT only?

Workflows not created for timecards submitted

We have an issue with workflows.
When employees submit their timecards, some of them randomly do not have associated workflows created. The submitted timecards are just stuck in 'SUBMITTED' status.
The workaround is for the preferences for the employees with this issue to be updated so they can resubmit timecards which are in 'SUBMITTED' status so the employee can resubmit his/her timecards. This time, the associated workflows are created fine.
Has anyone else come across this issue? Any idea why this is happening?

Are you using the Workflow Background Process or do you have 'OTL: Defer approval process on timecard submission' System Profile set to No? There could be a delay in the notifications being sent if you have the WBP set on autoscheduler to only run at certain times. I would suggest changing the profile option instead if you haven't already, this means notifications are always sent immediately without delay.
If this is all fine, are you receiving an error in the workflow before resubmission?
Hope this helps.

Create new version, checkout, checkin workflow not correct via abap

Hey,
I wrote an abap programm with the following workflow:
- I create a new version of the document CVAPI_DOC_CREATE_NEW_VERSION
- I check out the new version with CVAPI_DOC_CHECKOUTMODIFY
- I check in the file with the new content CVAPI_DOC_CHECKIN
And now there are 2 files in DMS with the same version. But there should be only one document with version 01.
The method CREATE_NEW_VERSION creates an dms document. But also the CVAPI_DOC_CHECKIN method creates an document in dms. But the checkin method should override the new version.
Thanks for your support.
BR,
Christoph

Hi Christoph,
unfortunately it is very hard to suggest a detailed solution for your individual program. Personally I would recommend you to
use the following sequence:
- I create a new version of the document CVAPI_DOC_CREATE_NEW_VERSION
- BAPI_DOCUMENT_GETDETAIL2 to read out the current document data
- I check out the new version with CVAPI_DOC_CHECKOUTMODIFY
- BAPI_DOCUMENT_GETDETAIL2 to read out the current document data
- I check in the file with the new content API_DOCUMENT_MAINTAIN2 or BAPI_DOCUMENT_CHANGE2.
If you enter the storage category in the table DOCUMENTFILES of the mentioned function modules the file should be
checked in again. For further information on the DMS BAPI behavior please see the attached documentation to SAP note 766277.
Best regards,
Christoph

Workflow Item not created while processing draft PO from SOCO

Dear SAP SRM Experts,
In SRM 7.0, I've a scenario where I create a PO draft in sourcing.
In the 3step of the GAF, I've the option to
1. Edit the PO and order it.
2. Directly process the PO draft to create a PO..
While in case one the WF item is created with status awaiting approval, in the second case (when I directly process the draft) the workflow item is not created but the status is still 'Awaiting Approval' !!.
Use of PC workflow is done and the PO is not auto approved.
Any pointer regarding this would be very helpful.
The call stack is way different between the first step and second.
My understanding is if there is some error in the follow on PO, the work item would not be created. But the SC in soco is similar and while in first case it does create the workitem in second case it doesn't.
When does the decision to create workflow item is decided in second case?
Thanks.

Hi Guys,
Thanks for your inputs.
The problem has been identified. The error is because the vendors are deleted completly from the system. And those were earlier used in shopping cart as preffered vendor. Thats why the system is throwing the error message.
As we can not process this SC further we want to delete this SC (line item). But again while deleting the SC the system is throwing the error message . "Business partner xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx not found." Thus its not allowing us to delete the SC.
Do you have any ideas how we can delete the SC line items, or SC ? Any FM ?
Thank you,

Workflow ID not created.

Hi All,
I am using a workflow to create a material in the test environment. When i create the event, the workflow ID is not getting created. The workflow ID shows as "00000000" everytime. The same workflow is working perfectly fine in Development and production. Could someone please help me out with this?
Note: The test environment was refreshed with production data 2 months back.(Not usre of this could be one of the reasons).
Thanks

Hi Julio,
Can you check whether the Work Flow item is modified in the ABAP Stack and also try out this
a)Start transaction SXI_CACHE.
b)From the context menu XI Runtime Cache select Start Complete Cache Refresh.
If you still face issue try this .
Many actions require to access System Landscape Directory content from the Integration Builder. To optimize performance, this content is loaded into a cache so that the System Landscape Directory does not have to be accessed directly each time that System Landscape Directory content is required.
However, this cache is not automatically updated if changes are made to the content of the System Landscape Directory. For this reason that we delete the System Landscape Directory cache if changes have been made to content in the System Landscape Directory. The cache is then filled each time that the System Landscape Directory is accessed. If we log on to the Integration Builder after we have made a change in the SLD, we do not need to delete the SLD cache.
To clear the SLD cache, from the Integration Builder main menu, choose Environment ® Delete Cache for SLD Data.
Once we have deleted the cache for SLD data, accessing objects in the SLD may take longer than usual initially.

Path and Name field in SPD 2010 Workflow for creating Doc Sets

Hi Guys,
Here's hoping you can help out and give a few pointers. I'm currently trying to implement what I thought was quite a simple workflow involving the creation of a Content Type (similar to Doc Set but with additional field) within an alternative library when
a new item is added to the current library.
Create Item in CaseFileLibrary (Output to Variable: CaseFile)
When running the workflow, I keep getting the following error:
"The workflow could not create the list item because the file name is either missing or invalid. "
It seems to be related to the 'File and Path' field within the 'Create New List Item' field mappings. For this I have tried the CurrentItem:Title as some other forums suggest and have also tried entering the URL path e.g. /subsite_name/library_name/CurrentItem:Title.
(as the name of the CaseFile (Doc Set) is going to be the same as the current item name)
If anyone has any suggestions, I would be truely greatful.
Luke

Hi Luke,
This error indicates there is an error in the workflow logic. Ensure that the file name entered in the Path and Name field is a valid file name. Common reasons for a file name to be invalid include a missing or incorrect file extension or a file/path string
that is too long and exceeds the allowable number of characters.
More information, please refer to :
Common error messages in SharePoint workflow development
For the URL that you used in the ‘Create New List Item’, whether the CurrentItem:Title is a lookup, not typed by yourself. If not, please type /subsite_name/library_name/, then lookup CurrentItem:Title, like the below, then save and publish the workflow,
compare the result.
In addition, please use another name for the name, compare the result.

Wendy

"Workflow Template Create" screen appears while executing the work item.

Hi,
I am learning the workflow. I have created a test workflow in which there is a user decision step and 2 mail sending steps for the outcomes of the user decision.The workflow is activated properly . When I excute the workflow the screen for "Workflow Template Create" opens everytime. When I go to the Business workpkace a mail is there in my inbox with the title as given in the user decision step. Again when i am trying to execute the work item in the inbox again the same screen for "Workflow Template create " is opening. I am totaly confused with this problem . Pls suggest what might be the reason..?

I think the Wflow Template Creation screen is not opening but your current session is getting closed so the previous session which is Wflow Create one which you have already opened is appearing. Please check your template design and act accordingly.
Thanks

Could not create task or type of type: validateTask

While writing a master Ant script which calls the build.xml of individual BPEL processes, the following exception is thrown.
validateTask:
[echo]
[echo] -------------------------------------------------------------
[echo] | Validating workflow
[echo] -------------------------------------------------------------
[echo]
<process name>: The following error occurred while executing this line:
<build file>:210: The following error occurred while executing this line:
<build file>:49: Could not create task or type of type: validateTask.
Ant could not find the task or a class this task relies upon.
I have tried the following options;
1.) The same build.xml is successfully compiled when executed from JDeveloper
2.) Both Ant versions are one and the same (Apache Ant 1.7.0)
3.) Oracle_home points to the SOA installation folder
4.) Appropriate classpath is set
I am unable to drill down on this issue further. Is there any small setting (like additional classpaths, oracle_home etc..) that I am missing out here? or is there a jar file that is required by the external Ant builder to execute the <validateTask> and other custom bpel ant tasks?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
Regards,
Sathya

Hi James,
Let me clear this again. Whenever i try to compile the build.xml of a BPEL process in JDeveloper IDE, I am able to do so without any issues. However, when i try to execute or call the build.xml from a command prompt, I am facing the following error. The "validateTask" ant task is the first task and I dont think that has anything to do with the connection settings as this task will get executed the first in any BPEL process even before <bpelc> (Compilation) or <deployProcess> (deployment) tasks.
I think I am missing some classpath/libraries/ant settings required for calling the build.xml externally.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Workflow not found in SWI6

Hello Experts,
We have a scenario where we are able to create and order a shopping cart. Here we are creating shopping carts for third party using XI interface.
When we try to see the workflow through SWI6,a message is displayed 'There are no workflows that have already worked with this object type'.
However , we can find an entry in t code BBP_PD for the same shopping cart. This is happeneing for only few shopping carts.
Can any one provide suggestions what can be the problem?
Thanks in advance.
Suman

Hello,
When you create shopping cart through an external requirement (in your case a third party), no workflow is created in SRM.
If you are transfering ECC PR to SRM in order to create shopping carts, for example, no workflow is created.
Check question 16 of note 505030.
Kind regards,

SRM Purchase Order not Created Automatically

SRM 7.0 Extended Classic Scenario:
Issue: When creating a standard shopping cart in SRM the Purchase Order is not created in SRM (or in R3). Eventhough the shopping cart is fully approved and has a vendor assigned. The overall shopping cart status remains approved,the line items status shows 'item in transfer process'. Otherwise there are no errors in the application monitor. Nothing appears in table BBP_DOCUMENT_TAB
Considerations: Everything is working fine for limit shopping cart, the PO gets created automatically and the SC has status follow-on document created.
Also, this was working fine for standard orders, it seems that support pack 7 or 8 broke this functionality, yet I do not see any notes regarding the issue. Any ideas on what controls the automatic PO generation or how it could work for limits but not standard SC's would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Matt

First of all PO should be created then you can see entry in doc table.
u Note 1480994 - How to process a shopping cart with status I1111?
see SAP treatment and some work around..
Symptom
Shopping Cart is stuck in status I1111 (Item in transfer process).
Other terms
Application Monitor, I1112, I1111, Monitor Shopping Cart
Reason and Prerequisites
This is a FAQ note, which shows how to treat such Shopping Carts.
Solution
Shopping Cart status I1111 (Item in transfer process) is a temporary status, which means that shopping cart is being processed in order to generate a follow-on document.
However, it is possible that status I1111 becomes permanent and, in this case, shopping cart status is inconsistent.
There are some procedures to be considered when shopping cart is stuck in status I1111.
Report BBP_ALERT_SB_NOTTRANSFERED is available to change the status of the shopping cart item from I1111 to 'Error in transmission' (I1112) and later on, it is possible to retransfer this shopping cart from Application Monitor/Monitor Shopping Cart transactions.
Note 441768 provides more information about this report.
However, BBP_ALERT_SB_NOTTRANSFERED works in a time stamp. BBP_ALERT_SB_NOTTRANSFERED will check shopping carts created after date specified in table BBP_CONTROL.
To check this information, go to SE16 -> BBP_CONTROL and as input parameter provide the report name. Here you will see the last date that report has been run.
If you have a shopping cart in status I1111 which is older than date specified in table BBP_CONTROL, you have to change manually the time stamp specified in such table. You have to specify an older date (before shopping cart creation).
Doing this, you can run report BBP_ALERT_SB_NOTTRANSFERED and cart in question will have status I1112 assigned.
Once status I1112 is assigned to shopping cart, you can retransfer it from Application Monitor (BBPWEBMONITOR transaction in SAP_GUI) or Monitor Shopping Cart in the web.
To transfer Shopping Carts from BBPWEBMONITOR, some settings need to be done.
Following notes should be considered:
550044
FAQ Alert monitor RZ20 does not show any alerts
396102
BBP Alert monitor RZ20 does not work
387701
The Shopping Card are not transfered after "resubmit"
According note 387701, workflows WS10000214 and WS10000215 have to be activated. One of them is to delete shopping cart item using Application Monitor and the other one is to resubmit the cart. Then, once this settings are done, you can retransfer I1112 carts from Application Monitor.
If all settings are done and you have a cart with status I1112 that it is not appearing in Application Monitor, report BBP_ALERT_SC_STATUS_ERROR is available, which checks the carts in status I1112 and put them in the Application Monitor, in order to allow you to transfer them again. Note 631513 explains about this report.
Additional notes to be considered in this scenario:
1159609
Transfer function does not create local purchase orders
1233037
BBP_MON_SC: Shopping cart transfer ends in status I1111
1040878

SharePoint Online workflow not starting

Hi All,
I am an administrator for a company and I have been asked to create a workflow for them.
I created 2 workflows using SharePoint designer 2013. The 2010 workflow works as expected.
I created the 2013 workflow because I can use loops. However the 2013 workflow doesn't automatically start when an item is created. but works if I start it manually. I have checked and made sure that the check box is ticked for the workflow to start automatically.
The workflows go like this.
Step: Query Type
If Current Item:Query_Type equals Phone
  Set Status to Opportunity
Else
If Current Item:Query_Type equals Email
  Email Current Item:Sales_Rep2
  Pause for 0 days, 0 hours, 15 minutes
  If Current Item:Follow_Up equals No
   Email Current Item:Sales_Rep2
Step: Rental or Not
If Current Item:Rental equals Yes
  Email Current Item:Sales_Rep2
  Pause for 0 days, 1 hours, 0 minutes
  If Current Item:Quote_Sent equals No
   Email Current Item:Sales_Rep2
  Else
  If Current Item:Rental equals No
   Email Current Item:Sales_Rep2
   Pause until Current Item:Date to Send Quote
   Email Current Item:Sales_Rep2
And the 2013 one goes like this
Stage:Follow Up
Loop: Email to manager
  The contents of this loop will run repeatedly while: Current Item:Follow_Up equals No
   Pause for 0 days, 1 hours, 0 minutes
   If Current Item:Follow_Up equals No
    Email Current Item:Manager
If Current Item:Follow_Up equals Yes
  Set Status to Opportunity
Transition to stage
Go to Rental or Not
Stage:Rental or Not
Loop: Escalation
  The contents of this loop will run repeatedly while: Current Item:Quote_Sent equals No
   Pause for 2 days, 0 hours, 0 minutes
   If Current Item:Quote_Sent equals No
    Email Current Item:Manager
Loop: Escalation
  The contents of this loop will run repeatedly while: Current Item:Quote_Sent equals No
   Pause for 7 days, 0 hours, 0 minutes
   If Current Item:Quote_Sent equals No
   and Current Item:Date to Send Quote is greater than Current Item:Date to Send Quote
    Email Current Item:Manager
Transition to stage
Go to End of Workflow
If this makes sense? If not can anybody give me advice on how to get this working the way it is expected to work?

Hi,
From your description, After you modified the workflow and added "App Step" to it and "Pause" actions apart from few other modifications, you got the issue that
SharePoint 2013 Workflow not starting when a new item is crated.
Whether you got the issue Before you modified the workflow.
I have done a test in my SharePoint 2013 and it works fine.
I suggest you update SharePoint to the latest CU.
Here is an blog similar with your issue, you can use as a reference:

OOTB approval worfklow not creating task when require checkout is set as Yes on the document library

HI,
I set the document library versioning to "require check-out" to yes.
I set the workflow settings to create an approval workflow and "start the workflow when the item is created".
I create a new document from the document template, save and check-in. The workflow task is not getting created, however the workflow is started.
when i change the require check-out to "No" and create a new document as above, the workflow tasks are getting created.
Can someone advise on what is the problem when versioning is enabled?? can anyone provide solution. thanks.

Hi,
According to your description, my understanding is that the task was not created after the approval workflow was running when setting the require check out to be yes.
I tested the scenario in my environment, if I used the Office client application to create documents, then the task would not be created even when the workflow was running.
There may be some reason that the creating task action is missed when the document is created using Office client application and the require check out is set to be yes.
As a workaround, I recommend to install Office Web Apps and use Office Web Apps to create the documents when setting the require check out to be yes.
The workflow will be starting before the documents is checked in, and it will create the task after the document is checked in.
Thanks,
Victoria

Workflow not working in Background Processing

Hi All,
I am relatively new to Workflow. Currently, I am creating Deliveries (preferably in background) once a Sales Order is created. I am using an ABAP Class as the object method to submit the sales order number to the delivery processing method (which just submits basic information to standard SAP transaction VL04). I found that if the execution of the delivery creation task is not in Background Processing (the user manually kicks off the Delivery creation in SBWP) the workflow works as expected and creates the deliveries. However, if the Background Processing is checked, the workflow does not process and does not create a delivery. Is there any specific reason as to why the workflow will not work in background?
Any help you can give would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
John

Hi,
John
See to process a Back ground task, there should be a proper parameter flow.
Please look at the import parameters in the method you are using to process the back ground task..
If proper import parameters are passed then the task will work
This should help..
Thanks,
Shanky
