Workflow notification has extra text

Hi,
I am required to change the text that appears in the notification an approver sees when a Leave Request is generated. In the workflow in SWDD I found the task but not all the text is there. There is additional text that appears above this in the notification but I can't find where it comes from. Could there be a user-exit that adds some extra text into the notification ?
Text in the task:
&NAME& has submitted a leave request &ABSENCETYPEDESCRIPTION& from
&ABSENCEFROM& through &ABSENCETO&.
Text that appears in the notification:
Work item in R/3 System:PRD
You have a new workflow item that requires action.
Please lo on to the system to authorise the document or to complete the workflow
&NAME& has submitted a leave request &ABSENCETYPEDESCRIPTION& from
&ABSENCEFROM& through &ABSENCETO&.

Hi Richard,
Work item in R/3 System:PRD
You have a new workflow item that requires action.
Please lo on to the system to authorise the document or to complete the workflow
The above text is written in the program which you are using to send the workitem or is in the description of the task .
Other than this :
&NAME& has submitted a leave request &ABSENCETYPEDESCRIPTION& from
&ABSENCEFROM& through &ABSENCETO&.
For above , check the binding of workflow .

CRMOD workflow notification that Includes what has changed in a record

Has anybody come up with a way to include inside workflow notifications what has changed when a record has been modified? I know I could hard code a bunch of IIF(PRE('<field1>')<>[<field1>], 'Field 1 has changed from ' + PRE('<field1>') + ' to ' + [<field1>] + ', ', IIF(PRE('<field2>')<>[<field2>], 'Filed 2 has changed from ' + PRE('<field2>') + ' to ' + [<field2>] + ', ', '')).... But if there is a less labor intensive solution that would be ideal?
Thank you,

Workflow Notification Mailer in 11i

Hi,
I configured workflow notification mailer in 11i,
(a) only outbound Mail Configuration, I enabeld that
(b) started workflow Mailer Service Concurrent Manager
(c) started workflow agent listener service concurrent manager
Once I did the above, I am getting mails from Oracle Alerts..its nice..
But I want to know, the following configuration in workflow mailer wizard
---> Inbound Mailer Configuaration ( IMAP), Can I give same SMTP mail server name in this...
can anybody describe this, what for this configuration ( Inbound Mailer Service)....

Notification mailers can also process e-mail responses from users, using the Internet Message Access Protocol (IMAP). A notification mailer uses a Java-based e-mail parser to interpret the text of each message and create an XML representation of it.
A notification mailer uses three folders in your response mail account for response processing: one to receive incoming messages, one to store processed messages, and one to store discarded messages.
A notification mailer does the following to process response messages:
Logs into its IMAP e-mail account.
Checks the inbox folder for messages. If a message exists, the notification mailer reads the message, checking for the notification ID (NID) and node identifier in the NID line.
If the message is not a notification response, meaning it does not contain an NID line, the notification mailer moves the message to the discard folder and treats it as an unsolicited message. For the first unsolicited message from a particular e-mail address, the notification mailer also sends a warning message back to the sender of the message.
However, to avoid sending unnecessary warnings due to bounced or auto-reply messages, each mailer node stores a list of e-mail addresses from which it has received unsolicited mail, and does not send any further warning messages to those addresses. Instead, if the node receives a second unsolicited message from a particular address, the notification mailer discards the message and raises the oracle.apps.wf.mailer.unsolicited event. You can optionally define a subscription to this event if you want to perform some other action in response to the second unsolicited message. For all subsequent unsolicited messages, the notification mailer simply discards the message.
For more Info Please refer Oracle Workflow Administrator's Guide
Hope it helps!

ORACLE WORKFLOW NOTIFICATION MAILER START 방법
============================================
PURPOSE
Notification Mailer를 background에서 running 시키고,unix account의 logging out 후에도 지속적으로 running 시킬뿐 아니라 standard output 및 error message를 각각 저장할 수 있게 workflow unix user로 workflow mailer를 start 할 수 있다.
Explanation
nohup $ORACLE_HOME/bin/wfmail.snd -f <config_file>
1>mailer.log 2>mailer_err.log &
where <config_file> is $ORACLE_HOME/wf/res/wfmail.cfg
Alternatively, you can do the following to start the Notification Mailer without specifying the CONNECT parameter & value in the above step: Create Mailer Configuration file as the password parameter in the $ORACLE_HOME/wf/res/wfmail.cfg file is in clear text and poses a security problem.
nohup $ORACLE_HOME/bin/wfmail.snd -f $ORACLE_HOME/wf/res/wfmail.cfg owf_mgr/password@connect_string 1>mailer.log 2>mailer_err.log &
(Please note that even this method of running the Oracle Workflow Notification Mailer is not entirely secure in the sense that if anybody who has access to the middle-tier can always do a “/usr/ucb/ps -auxwww | grep wfmail.snd” and get the CONNECT information).
Example
Nohup $FND_TOP/bin/WFMAIL apps/apps@ 0 Y -f $FND_TOP/resource/ wfmail.cfg

Workflow/Notification email - Body is blank

Hi all
I am using a workflow notification in MDM to send an email to a user. The email arrives as intended - correct address, correct subject line, - but the problem is the body of the email is blank. I have specified a message text (in Visio, under the notification property E-Mail Body) but the email arriving has no message in it.
Can anyone explain why this might be? Has anyone experienced this problem before?
Many Thanks
Edd

Hi ED,
Which MDM version you are currently working upon?
As I also implemented this Notify step stencil in my workflow and it works fine with the correct address and subject line.
Kindly follow the below steps correctly and you should get the desired result.
For Notify Step: In mds.ini file
Only Server Name need to be mentioned in MDS.ini file.
server name =IP Address
Prefer to use IP Address of the Mail server instead Name.
Sample example of the body of the email:
If you wish to send the JobId,Job name ,StepID,Stepname in the mail then write the body of teh mail as below
BODY: JOBID: %JOBID%
            JOBNAME: %JOBNAME&
            STEPID: %STEPID%
            STEPNAME: %STEPNAME%
                                %RECORDS%
Kindly follow the below links for further help on this

Note: Due to heavy load, the latest workflow operation has been queued. It will attempt to resume at a later time

Dear all,
sorry for opening another thread on this.
I think I have a performance issue with workflows attached to document sets in SharePoint. And I say “I think” because people keep telling me that this is the way it just is.
The user creates a new document set, which triggers a workflow in which the user has to confirm/review/approve a series of tasks. The time it takes from clicking the OK button on those task form to the workflow status moving to the next step is about 4 seconds.
And visiting that status page within those 4 seconds brings up the infamous “Note: Due to heavy load, the latest workflow operation has been queued. It will attempt to resume at a later time.” message.
Hitting Refresh in the browser after those 4 seconds will make the new workflow status appear and the red text go away.
Is that normal? Is that the performance that everyone else is seeing as well?
I struggle to see why simply moving a workflow from one task to another should take that on a machine that isn’t doing anything else at the time.
(1)
I have a standalone (non-clustered) SharePoint box, 4 CPUs, 8 GB of memory, more than half of that available, acting as application server and wfe; only the database is on different box.
(2)
The CPU only goes up to 18 or 19%, so CPU does not seem to be the bottleneck. Half the RAM is also still free.
(3)
The workflow is designed with Nintex, and has about 9 flexi and review tasks – the last 2 of them in a loop iterating over typically 3 or 4 items.
(4)
Looking at the logs it looks like the processing in Nintex only takes about 1 second – I don’t know where the other 3 seconds are going.
(5)
There is nothing obvious in the logs.
(6)
We’ve looked at all the “theoretical” improvements around throttling and batch sizes etc. – none of them appeared make any difference. And the workflow is so small that it looks like my tasks gets executed straight away. The problem appears
to be that the execution takes too long(?) and therefore has not finished by the time the page get redrawn.
(7)
I am running perfmon and I can e.g. see one(!) workflow being loaded into memory – as expected as I am the only user.
(8)
I am seeing a total of 3(?) SQL queries being executed(?). I get the Bytes Sent/sec spiking at 25K, and Bytes received at 18K. But is this good or bad or a bottleneck?
Where do I take it from here?
I have been told that “[…] most customers have no issue with this as they are used to the way SP operates and it can be slow at times.” Is it really that bad?
If it is worth watching more performance counters then I’d need to know what to compare them to.
Is there something else I am missing?
Thanks
Martin

Hi,
Before considering an additional hardware try to change following configurations for workflow:
Increase Throttle Size
Increase Batch Size
Time Out
Workflow Timer Interval
AutoCleanUpDays
Increase Throttle Size
The Workflow throttle setting controls how many Workflows can be processing at any one time on the entire server farm. By increasing the throttle it will allow the number of Workflows execution or can be initiated at a time.
Use below PowerShell command to get the current Throttle Size:
Get-SPFarmConfig | Select WorkflowPostponeThreshold
Use below PowerShell command to set new Throttle Size:
Set-SPFarmConfig -WorkflowPostponeThreshold 100
Increase Batch Size
This is the size that determines number of events processed for a single Workflow instance. Default value is 100, but it can be range from 1 to any number.
Use below PowerShell command to get the current Batch Size:
Get-SPFarmConfig | Select WorkflowBatchSize
Use below PowerShell command to set new Batch Size:
Set-SPFarmConfig -WorkflowBatchSize 200
Time Out
This decides the time out of the Workflow event. The default value is 5 and can be any integer. The time is in minute.
Use below STSADM command to get the current Time Out value:
stsadm -o getproperty -pn workflow-eventdelivery-timeout
Use below STSADM command to get the current Time Out value:
stsadm -o setproperty -pn workflow-eventdelivery-timeout -pv “15″
Workflow Timer Interval
This setting is applicable at Web Application level and not the farm level. The workflow timer interval specifies how often the workflow SPTimer job fires to process pending workflow tasks. This interval also represents the granularity of delay timers within
your workflow. If a timer is set to delay for one minute, but the interval timer fires only every five minutes, the workflow delays for five minutes, not one minute.
Use below STSADM command to get the current Workflow Timer Interval value:
stsadm -o getproperty -pn job-workflow -url <Web Application Url>
Use below STSADM command to get the current Workflow Timer Interval value:
stsadm -o setproperty -pn job-workflow -pv “Every 10 minutes between 0 and 30″ -url <Web Application Url>

How to customize SharePoint Foundation 2013 workflow notification emails

We have a SharePoint Foundation 2013 workflow that sends emails when certain criteria are met. We have tried to customize the emails using SharePoint Designer, but the emails that are received are different.
Ho do we configure SharePoint to send the emails formatted as we specified in the workflow?
The emails we receive are all formatted like this:
Subject:
[Company Name Workflow] - [Item] has been assigned to you
Content:
Task assigned by [User Name] on [Date].
To complete this task:
1.   Review [Item].
2.   Perform the specific activities required for this task.
3.   Use the Open this task button to mark the task as completed. (If you cannot update this task, you might not have access to it. Click here to request access.)

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you want to customize SharePoint Foundation 2013 workflow notification emails.
We’ll need to do a few things to replace SharePoint’s default notification with our own. The first thing we need to do is turn off SharePoint’s default notification. On the Workflow Tasks list, go the Advanced Settings and select
No for Send e-mail when ownership is assigned. Then we need to create workflow to send email.
There is an article for your reference, although it is about the SharePoint 2007, it still works for SharePoint 2013.

How do I remove an email address from a workflow notification?

Hi, I was wondering if you could help me please. Can you tell me how to remove an old email address from a workflow notification? The person's name and email address have already been removed from the list of Users in the Admin area, but some workflow notifications are still being sent to their email. Any ideas?
Many thanks for your help.

Thanks Liam, I'd previously looked at the also notify field and it didn't show any other email addresses. This time I clicked on the second of my two options in the Workflow Steps field, and then clicked back on the first one again, and hey presto, two email addresses appeared! The offending email address has now been removed.
Thanks again for your help. Cheers!

How can I include a Credit Mgmt Case Folder URL in a workflow notification?

I have a requirement to add a URL to a workflow notification, which is easy enough. The issue I am having is that I am not able to create a URL that successfully opens the Credit Management Case Folder that is specified in the worflow notification.
I am only able to get the URL to launch the following successfully: http://<ce:0000>/OA_HTML/RF.jsp?function_id=16351&resp_id=23916&resp_appl_id=222&security_group_id=0&lang_code=US
Has anyone else solved this issue? Any help would be appreciated.

We are using eBusiness Suite 11.5.10.2, 10g database
I created a woflow attribute of type URL.
Name: Case Folder Link
Frame Target: New Window
Value: http://<instance>/OA_HTML/RF.jsp?function_id=16351&resp_id=23916&resp_appl_id=222&security_group_id=0&lang_code=US
I then added the following line to add the URL attribute to the HTML message body.
Case Folder Link : &CASE_FOLDER_LINK
When using the link above I don't get any error message. However when I try to change the URL to a specific case folder URL (Note this URL should change depending on the Case Folder # provided in the notification message.):
http://<instance>/OA_HTML/OA.jsp?_rc=ARCMANALYSISDATACRDSUMMARYPAGE&_ri=222&retainAM=Y&cmSubRegion=PARTYREGION&cmPartyId=%7B!!k5vkXUpUCWxLhSZj.uqBHQ%7D&cmCustAccountId=%7B!!lBrDTc7.B3E6QA-16tJNIw%7D&cmSiteUseId=%7B!!7jcW1qvgKOeEFCpFYCanSA%7D&OAHP=ARCMMENUAPPLICATION&OASF=ARCMANALYSISDATACRDSUMMARY&_ti=1687529995&oapc=9&oas=GiXPV8nU9RQ6Ej53zIESsw..

Include Secure Zone name in Order Workflow Notification

Hi All,
Hoping that someone can help me with a solution for the following:
We have a site that has a number of secure zones, each secure zone has an individual product catalogue assigned to it.
The problem we have is that when someone does an order from within the secure zone, the Workflow notification does not contain any information about which secure zone the order came from.
So I'm wondering if it is possible to write some code that will query what secure zone you are logged in to and have this as a hidden field on the Order page, to be included in the Workflow Notification.
Does anyone know if this is possible?
Cheers,
Emily

You can parse the user's securezone subscriptions out of {module_subscriptions,true,true,,true}, or you could look for an attribute unique to each catalogue, like <div data-catalogue="{{tag_somethingUnique">...catalogue template code...</div> plus jQuery('[data-catalogue]').data('catalogue');
