Workflow process locked by admin

Hi
I was using WLI BPM and suddenly the worklist application got hung. I killed the
server and brought it up and the studio again. Now when I try to open the workflow
in the studio, I get the message that 'The workflow is locked by admin'. I want
to unlock the workflow. Are there any tables that I can access and update? How
can I do this? I deleted all the running instances. Still it gives the same message.
Any help would be truly appreciated.

Hi,
We have not restarted the planning services, but checked in few tables namely "HSP_PLANNING_UNIT_LOGS"
which shows the current owners ids set to 50001 which I believe is admin for all the possible combinations for the scenario and versions...
It is a production application, we can get the schema backup which will have the original states and the owner Ids but how can we populate the
existing tables to get the states back in the current application, rather than restoring all in a separate application...

Workflow process changed to admin for all entities

Hi, We are working in Hyperion 9.3.3. Today morning we saw that the current owners for all the entities are changed to admin for few commbinations of scenario and version members.
We sneaked into the audit tables and we can see the changes in those table for all the planning units but inside the application, it is all admin.
All the process workflow history is wiped off and all the names are replaced with admin. This has happened for all the entities for monthly cycles for all the previous and current year.
Can anybody help me to resolve or help me with some pointers to look into the tables to get that resolved.

Cannot execute workflow process definition

Hi,
I am new to Siebel. We are researching on Siebel Public Sector Case screens.
I have installed Siebel Client & Tools and defined the Debug configurations in the Tools. When I hit F5 in Tools, the Client loads. However, when I click on the Eligibility button on the Case screen I am rendered the error: *"cannot execute workflow process definition 'PUB Eligibility Determination Workflow'. (SBL-BPR-00158)"*.
Browsing through the Administration - Business Process -> Workflow Monitor, I noticed that none of the Workflows (available in the Tools) are getting displayed. Please let me know if there is any configuration that I might have missed out.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
In case this is a new installation of Siebel, by default Workflow processes are not activated on the Server. As a result you will face the mentioned error.
In this case just go to the Administration - Business Process -> Workflow Deployment -> Repository Workflow Processes and in the top applet query for the Workflow causing the error. Also query for the same in the lower applet as well. If there is no record in the lower applet or if the Repository Version in the lower applet is not matching to that on the upper applet, you need to click on the Activate button on the Top applet to enable the latest version on the server.
By Check In process it means that you check-out i.e. lock a particular object for exclusive modification and then checking it in i.e. publishing the changes onto the server for all the other developers.

DIM Workflow - How can I return task status for workflow process

Hi all,
I'd like to build a DIM workflow process to run a unix shell script. Under the workflow, I've created a task object and assign the unix shell script into it.
Although the DIM workflow works fine to run the unix shell script in the normal case, however, it cannot return the error status in the task when my shell script is failed (such as exit 2 at the end of script).
May I know if there any setting in the workflow/task, in order to change the status on DIM workflow.
Many thanks,
hw

Test my workflow process

Hi All,
I have created a workflow with following steps, create,edit,approve asset.
Can any one tell me how to test my workflow ?
Admin guide says "configure start menu items that assign workflow processes to assets"
Thanks

Hi,
Yes, you can create a startmenu item and configure it to use your workflow. That way, when you create a new asset using that startmenu item, the asset will be assigned to your workflow.
You can also simply select an asset that's not in workflow yet, and assign it to workflow. You do that by going to the Status screen, then in the workflow drop-down menu select the option to assign the asset to workflow.
Use Finish My Assignment to move the asset to the next workflow step.
I hope this helps.
Kind regards,
Stephan.

Hi John,
Thanks for your reply. I couldn't get you from the below quote
Does you SMTP server accept anonymous connections?
Anonymous in the sense that you mean like Unauthenticated connection. Yes my mail server is unauthenticated server, hence it doesn't require any username and password.

Mass Maintenance will recognize any customer record in workflow process

Hi gurus,
Please help me on the Workflow process, how to handle below workflow scenario, is there any logic be hand this.
please see in BOLD workflow issue.
1.2     As-Is Business Process
Currently Data Maintenance teams use standard SAP transaction XD07 to change Customer Account Groups. The standard transaction XD07 allows only one Customer Account Group to be changed at a time. The process is to be manually repeated for every customer. After the Account Group is changes in the request client (X07(10)), an RFC call is made to the BOR client (X07(20)) and then to the transaction client (X08(10)) to change the Customer Account Group as the SAP ALE process does not support Account Group Changesu2026
1.3     To-Be Business Process
From time to time, bulk customer data updates will be needed. This can be the result of business situations that cause multiple updates to be performed for given customer fields such as Customer Account Group field. A new program must be developed to let the user mass update the Customer Account Group field (KNA1-KTOKD). The Program should be accessed on demand using a new T.Code (YMDM_ACCTGRP_CHG).
Business users will submit a spreadsheet in the appropriate upload format to CDM along with written approval from the Food Service data owner to execute the upload in P07. CDM will execute the upload, record all documentation for the audit change log and notify the submitter when complete
1.4     To-Be Business Process Flow Diagram
1.5     Enhancement Functionality
The following are the requirements:
u2022     This tool will enable a user to perform bulk update to the customer account group field.
u2022     The utility should let the user upload a u201CTab delimitedu201D file to mass update the Account Group field.
u2022     The Load File will have 3 columns, Customer Number (KNA1-KUNNR), Current Account Group (KNA1-KTOKD) and New Account Group (KNA1-KTOKD).
u2022     The Program must utilize the process behind the standard SAP transaction XD07 to change customer Account Groups in X07(10).
u2022     The standard customer ALE (DEBMAS) process does not support Customer Account Group changes, so the mass change program must use the RFC functionality to change he Account Groups in the BOR (X07(20)) and Transaction system (X08(10)).
u2022     Workflows for all updates performed using this T.Code are automatically approved. No manual approval steps will be needed after data load.
u2022     Mass Maintenance will recognize any customer record that has an open workflow. If a customer record is already in the request queue, it is u201Coff limitsu201D for any bulk update. That update request to that particular customer record must be rejected.
u2022     Provide the option to run the process in validation mode and update mode.
u2022     Report all hard and soft legacy field errors on a validation report. All u201Chardu201D legacy field validations should be passed before allowing update mode to run.
u2022     The upload process will produce an error log for all records not loaded into the system.

Interrupt workflow process in process controlled workflow

Hello experts,
In a custom requirement, we need to interrupt the workflow process.
For example, if we have 4 levels of approval. After the 2nd approver has approved the shopping cart, then the workflow process should be kept on hold. Based on a custom interface result, if the condition from another interface is satisfied, then the shopping cart should appear in 3rd approver's UWL.
I tried with triggering interrupt method of class /SAPSRM/cl_wf_apv_facade in save BADI of shopping cart. But it did not work.
Please let me know how can i interrupt the workflow process till some custom condition is satisfied.
Regards,
Yayati Ekbote

Quite often this kind of requirements can be fulfilled by using wait steps in the workflow. One example could be that you put a "wait for event" step in your workflow template. Then you could trigger this event from your interface (or whatever) with function module SAP_WAPI_CREATE_EVENT.
Maybe I should ask that how do you know that the condition has been fulfilled? Is it a field in a certain table, or? If yes, instead of the "wait for event" step, you could also wait that your condition is fulfilled (a field in your table gets value X). Just take a look into the workflow template and its step types. Wait step is the way to go.
Of course it might be possible that in the SRM/shopping cart workflows, there is already something built-in, which can be then utilized by using some of the BADIs, but if you cannot find anything from the documentation, then choose one of the above-mentioned approaches.

Karri

Using Javascript to email a form in a workflow process

I've created an Acroform which will be routed around in a workflow process. The user will open the form, add information and hit a button which is coded in javascript usng the mailDoc function.
It works perfectly EXCEPT that each time the document is forwarded, "Adobe Acrobat Pro.pdf" gets appended to the name of the file in the email. It doesn't actually rename the file, so the file does open properly, but the email looks pretty goofy.
Example. The filename is Form14.pdf.
When the third person signs off and clicks the email button, the email is created, with the address, subject line and body of the email completed, and the document attached has the little icon and then
- Form 14.pdf - Adobe Acrobat Pro.pdf - Adobe Acrobat Pro.pdf - Adobe Acrobat Pro.pdf
Is there some way to prevent it from concatenating like this every time the document is emailed?
Thanks!!!

Maybe you could try it like this... I saw this question answered not too long ago.

FTP error in oracle workflow process

Hi All,
I have written a workflow process which deletes a file on FTP. The process is deleting the file but is showing a warning message. Does anybody have a idea regarding this. One more thing even if file is not found the process completion status is successful. Its status should be error.
The ftp site is on the same machine as owb server.
The following values have been passed
Command: ftp
Parameter List: /-A/localhost/
Success Threshold: 0
Script: delete filename
Output Message Received:
Starting Execution ETN_DELETE_FILE
Starting Task ETN_DELETE_FILE
Starting Task ETN_DELETE_FILE:FTP
Completing Task ETN_DELETE_FILE
Anonymous login succeeded for [email protected]
WARNING: Log file truncated - see RAB for further information.
Completing Execution ETN_DELETE_FILE
Please let me know about this.
Thanks & Regards
Bang.

I am not saying your method is not correct, but if you give a shot to go with User Defined Activity. Yep that's correct , just write line in a shell script and call that script in user defined activity.
Property values
command ksh
script     pathname with that script file name (/tst/usr/script/filename.ksh)
or
command     mv
parameter_list     pathname with that filename
I feel this is very simple and easy to manage too.

Adding a record in a table from a workflow process

Hi all,
I need to add a recod in a table using a workflow. Here the scenario:
A user add a record into table A, when done MDM trigger the workflow in Visio. The workflow has to add a record in table B coping some values of table A.
Thank in advance for your help.
Vito

Hi Vito,
I am really doubt that MDM has the feature of adding a record to an table thru workflow process, rather workflow process can be triggered as you said while creating a record.
thanks

How to get the Asset's current step under a specific workflow process via API?

Everyone,
Is there a way to get the asset's current step for a specific workflow process by the WebCenter Sites API? We are showing out the asset created within the WebCenter Sites in another application via its API. We would like some actions get to be done once determined assets went into a specific step of a workflow process. Any suggestions are welcomed.
Regards!

Here is some information from the FDK Programmer's guide page 115:
IMPORTANT: A valid text range can span multiple paragraphs, subcolumns, or text frames.
It cant span multiple flows, footnotes, table cells, or text lines.
It is possible for a document to have no text selection or insertion point at all. This can occur in
the following circumstances:
● One or more graphic objects in the document are selected
● One or more entire table cells in the document are selected
● There is no selection of any type in the document
So, I did select one or more entire table cells in the document in my first test. It's logical that the result was not like expected.
But selecting one or more entire table cells is a crucial requirement for my plugin, is there anyway to get things straight?
Simply put, I want to enable users to select one or more table cells in the document, and I want to get the object handles of the first cell and the last cell through Framemaker API calls. How?
Many thanks in advance!
Best Regards,
Ellen N. Zhao

Own workflow process step (java) not listed in the generic Process step component

Based on the description Extending Workflow Funtionality I have used this sample to create a bundle with the CRXDE Development Environment. Almost just copying the code from the page (had to make some adjustments to correct program errors in this sample) an then build bundle. According to Note 2 this program should be seen in the list supplied by Process step Component when editing a workflow. But it is not there.
@Component
@Service
public class MyWorkflowProcess implements WorkflowProcess {
    @Property(value = "An example workflow process implementation.")
    static final String DESCRIPTION = Constants.SERVICE_DESCRIPTION;
    @Property(value = "Adobe")
    static final String VENDOR = Constants.SERVICE_VENDOR;
    @Property(value = "My Sample Workflow Process")
    static final String LABEL="process.label";
What do I need to do else?
Thanks,
Ulrich

Ulrich,
CRXDE does not support the Java annotations which are listed in the documentations. When you want to leverage CRXDE (which is for development ... discouraged), you need to migrate to JavaDoc style annotations.
For documentation how you can setup a development workflow based on a Java IDE and maven please see [0].
kind regards,
Jörg
