Workflow Procudures

Good day everybody
I am new to workflow and I got one urgent requirement in HR workflow, This is a customized HR requirement for company employees leave form.
I started developing form in dialog program, this is ok, and my questions are
1. How I can integrate with dialog program and workflow.
2. What are all the steps needed, in program part and workflow design
3. How I can call 4 approvers, Is loop required for approvers?,
4. How I can call one dialog screen in change screen and display screen in workflow.
Best Regards,
Peterson

Bapi isn't necessary, you can also call the transactions directly from the method.
also you can do this with 1 function module with a display/create/change parameter.
It all depends on how you normally create dialog screens and what your preferred way is of calling these.
2 methods and 2 tasks are generally better than doing it with 1 (also with display/create/change container)
Also creating a new BO isn't necessary if you can find an existing BO which is functionally the same as the one your trying to create, you then create a subtype of that BO and optionally delegate it with the super type (all done in SWO1)
Kind regards, Rob Dielemans

Procedural/Workflow question

Hi all,
After finishing the CS6 Production Premium book, I decided to start afresh with the projects I am busy with. Last Friday we shot some more footage of one of the ships we are using. I have around 11 Scenes shot, a few takes of each. Following the book, I checked the files with Bridge, I ingested them with Prelude and used it to perform a rough cut - including metadata notes and markers stating in and out points of the footage (and any pieces in between I wanted cut out). I then took that cut to Premier, where, using the razor tool, I cut out the unwanted sections and was left with a series of scenes, back to back of the ship against the bluescreen. I then took each shot seperately and replaced them with an After Effects composition. In After Effects, I proceded to use the keying techniques I have just picked up from the other book I reading through (Mark Christiansen...you are a genius!) and have keyed out each of the shots rather well (I hope to get better at keying as I get more practice).
My question is now, as follows...
I need to place these ships against various background plates. Some of them will be created from scratch in After Effects (space scenes) and some are live footage shots of vistas and fields etc. In each of the shots, the models have real movement (done camera side). In some of the composites, the models movements will be sufficient, in others, I will have to animate them accross the background. The procudures in the book, was to put the forground and background together in Premier. As I see it, I have three choices, and I want to know if there is a reason to choose one above the other, or if this is a call I can make based on which I enjoy more!
1) Place background on seperate layer in Premier
2) Add background in After Effects, include models animation and timing in composition and have it linked to Premier (as the models layers currently are)
3) Add background in after effects (for reference only), do animations and composition for models then remove background layer and re add it in Premier
Logically, I assume that the 2nd choice makes more sense, I just want to confirm this, as having worked with the full suite for the first time now, I am very excited to see how all the products integrate so nicely. Since the choices are there, I want to make sure I am not missing a great workflow for the sake of shortcuts!
Thank you
Pierre

Hi Fuzzy,
Thanks for the confirmation!
I started some of the compositing work yesterday while waiting for replies, and did it this way anyway. It works nicely, and then, once I am done in AE, if I have a rendered preview already, Premier does its render nice and fast. 3 Scenes done yesterday, 2 completed, one to finish touch ups today. It is so exciting to be at this point finally after 10 months! I have "final quality" footage, "final quality" backgrounds - let the compositing begin!
Dave,
Thanks for the tip. I am familiar with the light wrap, and a few techniques that I picked up from Todd, as well as some of the other books I have in my every growing Adobe library. I am currently experimenting with having a sliver thin edge matte and leaving that quite transparent so that the background bleeds through. I want to see how that looks, otherwise, light-wrap - it shall be.
Todd,
Thanks for the link. I have not got the new CS6 Learn by Vdeo yet, still the CS5 one, and some of the other books. But I do recall the light wrap techniques quite well. Ill put a few together for the team to evaluate, I am under the impression that light-wrap will work better for the characters and their backgrounds, rather than the ships, as they travel rather fast, and spend a lot of time in dark space backgrounds.
Anyway,
Thanks again all (oh, and on a personal note - STILL no teeth on young master Devereux! *sigh*) and I hope you all have a great holiday season - If you can stay away from the forum for more than 2 days - its a good start! - Ill be away for a week, but doubt Ill be able to stop myself checking in every other day!

PO release workflow WS20000075 BUS2012

Hi ,
I have a question aboutt he user exit of the PO workflow WS20000075, BUS2012, Rule 20000027.
There is user exit in function module ME_REL_GET_RESPONSIBLE
I have put '1' in the release codes role resolution.
i.e in spro - MM - purchasing - purchase order - define release procudure for purchase order - release codes
is it so that by putting '1' i cannot use the user exit ? and if i have to use it then i have to put '9' instead of '1' ?
and if i have to use a combination, means I have to use the assignment of role to release code at the same time put my own logic then I have to remove 20000027 rule and create new rule with my required logic and put this new rule there.
I need to confirm the above understanding. could anybody helpme? thanks.

Yes..You got it better.

Error while deploying a workflow in OWB

Hi,
I am getting the below error while deploying a workflow in Control Center.
ORA-29532: Java call terminated by uncaught Java exception: java.sql.SQLException: The file /u01/app/oracle/product/11.2.0.2/dbhome_1/owb/bin/admin/rtrepos.properties cannot be accessed or has not been properly created on the server XXXXXX. If the file does not exist or if the database owner (normally user 'oracle') does not have the required file permissions or if the file has not been properly created then the file can be recreated by running the SQL*Plus script /u01/app/oracle/product/11.2.0.2/dbhome_1/owb/rtp/sql/reset_repository.sql (in a RAC environment the file must be manually copied to each server which is used for OWB). Otherwise if using a 10.2 database instance, then please run the SQL*Plus script /u01/app/oracle/product/11.2.0.2/dbhome_1/owb/UnifiedRepos/reset_owbcc_home.sql.
Did any one faced this issue before?
Kindly let me know the steps to resolve the issue.
Thanks.

Hi Vidyanand,
Did you create the runtime access user using the runtime assistant? Did you select the correct runtime repository (if you have more) to associate your runtime access user with?
Note that there are 4 database roles being created when you create a runtime repository owner:
- OWB_A_<runtime repository owner>
- OWB_D_<runtime repository owner>
- OWB_R_<runtime repository owner>
- OWB_U_<runtime repository owner>
If you would grant those roles to a user, then that user becomes an access user for the user with username <runtime repository owner>.
Note that you can also use the runtime repository credentials to connect to the runtime repository for deployment purposes, but you may not want that because of security concerns.
Thanks,
Mark.

Questions on OCS and workflow

I am wondering whether I can configure the following:
- Can I have multiple views? Example, view documents by Author, Project, Category? Can I customize document
views?
- Can I control access rights on a single document?
- Can I monitor or extract a report on how often a document is accessed?
In addition, I have the following problems with OCS Workflow:
- The Workflow has no default email notification. Documentations indicated that Email Notification has to be configured to work with SendMail. Can Email notification be configured with OCS Mail instead?
It does not make sense to use SendMail instead of OCS Mail.
- Document can be viewed by Workspace members once it is uploaded. What is the purpose of workflow then?
- Document has to be manually submitted for review to initiate a Workflow process. Can this be performed automatically?
- WorkFlow approver is defined by the user. It should have predefined approvers.
- In Workflow notification, Notification Detail provides the URL but does not have a URL link back to the document. In this case, the review process is manual because the approver does not have an easy
way to preview the document.
Are my comments correct? Are there any workarounds?

Roger,
1) The default SPINCOUNT value is 0 (no spinning) for all platforms that are supported today. (At one time we had a default value of 5000 for Sequent hardware, but it has been many years since we supported that platform.) The SPINCOUNT value that will work best for any application depends on many factors, including the number of CPUs on the machine, the hardware platform, and the indvidual application. SPINCOUNT will only be useful when the machine has more than one CPU.
2) /Q logs Q_CAT:1447 after 50 unsuccessful attempts to obtain the semaphore when the semaphore has never been released and reobtained by a different process or the same process during that period. The Access Control List code uses the same rule for logging LIBTUX_CAT:1511. If TMSPINCOUNT is set, then the number of unsuccessful attempts to obtain the semaphore is incremented by 1 only after TMSPINCOUNT spins have been done.
Code for the BB semaphore and the semaphore used by /Domain follows a different rule. This code will log LIBTUX_CAT:5005 or LIBGW_CAT:5010 if a process has to wait for the semaphore for 10 seconds and the semaphore has never been released by the original owner during this time period.
3) TMSPINCOUNT is used for the BB semapahore, AOM semaphore, ACL semaphore, /Domain semaphore, and /Q semaphore. Locking the GTT uses the same BB semaphore that used to lock other tables in the BB.

Ed

How can I display a SP 2010 out of the box workflow's task assignees via powershell?

There are days where one of the 250+ workflows at the site has attempted to send email to someone no longer at the company.
I would like to find a way to go through the farm and display all the list URLs that have workflows, and the mail addresses associated to the workflows.
This way I can track down the workflows that need to be updated to remove the missing users.
I have started a bit of script to do this. In my script, I just had a site collection - I figured that if I can get that to work, then surely wrapping another loop for the rest of the farm won't be bad.
However, for some reason, I am not seeing the output that I expected to show the mail addresses.
I am hoping a different set of eyes might see what I am missing. It was my understanding that the AssociationData property was XML that contained information about the assignees for tasks, the carbon copy list, etc.
Maybe I misunderstood something that I read?
$outLoc = "d:\temp\wfdata.txt"
$web = Get-SPWeb -Identity "http://myfarm/sites/it/"
foreach ($list in $web.Lists)
$associationColl=$list.WorkflowAssociations
foreach ($association in $associationColl)
$association.AssociationData | Out-File $outLoc
$web.Dispose()
I want to thank you for the helpful tips that so often appear on this list. They help me when I am reading over old threads to figure out what to do. I am hoping that tips on this thread will likewise be helpful.

Hi,
With
SPWorkflowAssociation.AssociationData property, we can get the assignees’ information. Your script can
be able to retrieve a XML format data which contains the user name we need:
So the next step would be getting the user name by parsing the XML data we got.
The two links below will show how to parse XML with PowerShell:

http://blogs.technet.com/b/heyscriptingguy/archive/2012/03/26/use-powershell-to-parse-an-xml-file-and-sort-the-data.aspx
With the user name, we can get the
Email property of an user with the scripts as the link below provided:

Creating a Role view in a workflow

I'm trying to create a role view in my workflow with the following code but it gives me an error: com.waveset.util.InternalError: Unable to locate ViewHandler for 'role'.

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>
Here is the url for reference :
http://praveenkasireddy.wordpress.com/2013/06/14/workflow-due-to-heavy-load-the-latest-workflow-operation-has-been-queued-it-will-attempt-to-resume-at-a-later-time/

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

I have SharePoint 2010 Enterprise running SP1. Configuration is one SharePoint server in the farm and a SQL 2008 R2 database for the backend. Our user environment is 80 users with very little load on the SharePoint server. I have the workflow timer
set to 1 minute.
I have a SPD workflow that starts manually on a form library. Whenever I publish a new version of the workflow, the next time I start the workflow it takes the full minute to finish. If I click on the workflow status before it finishes, I see the message
"Due to heavy load, the latest workflow operation has been queued. It will
attempt to resume at a later time.". After the minute completes the workflow finishes.
Here's the weird thing, the next time I start the workflow, it runs in a couple of seconds - almost instantly. I've tried up to 15 times after the inital publishing and everything seems to work fine on initiation.
Well, that would be fine for me, however, I intermintantly get this heavy load message during task processes that are running inside the workflow. It's probably less than 5% of the time. It's really frustrating though so I appreciate some help. I'm look
online and haven't found anything that describes my situation.
Thank you in advance!

FM to read the different steps in workflow and the status at each step

Hi All,
Is there any FM in SAP which gives the detail roadmap of the steps taken in a workflow and the diffrent status or decision at each step.
I am looking for something like what you see when you click on the "STARTED WORKFLOW" in the business workplace outbox.
Which shows up the "steps in the process so far " and the decision and the agents for each of them.
Thanks,
Charan.

Hi,
You can get the status according to the task. please check with FM "SAP_WAPI_GET_WI_DELTA".

There are two ways to look at what error the PLSQLBLOB API is throwing.
1) Call your PLSQLBLOB API GNE_PO_CREATE_FILE_ATTACHMENT.Gne_Create_File_Attachment directly from a PLSQL block and verify that it returns the BLOB data successfully.
You could also call another WF API that in turn executes the PLSQLBLOB API internally. For example,
<pre>
declare
l_document blob;
l_doctype varchar2(240);
l_aname varchar2(90);
begin
dbms_lob.CreateTemporary(l_document, true, dbms_lob.Session);
-- 207046 - This is the notification id of your failed workflow
-- PO_REPORT - Document type attribute
-- 'text/html' - Content Type being generated for
Wf_Notification.GetAttrBLOB(207046, 'PO_REPORT', 'text/html', l_document, l_doctype, l_aname);
-- Print the size of the document here to verify it was fetched correctly
end;
</pre>
2) Turn on log for SYSADMIN user with following attributes.
Log Enabled = TRUE
Log Level = ERROR
Log Module = wf.plsql%
Restart the Workflow Deferred Agent Listener and Workflow Notification Deferred Agent Listener and run your workflow process. Search for log messages written for above context and you can identify the error at wf.plsql.WF_XML.GetAttachment module with message starting as "Error when getting BLOB attachment ->"
Hope this helps.

Error while calling a workflow process from a JSP

Hi,
I have a workflow program which is havign a process, which in turn calls 2 other processes.
Below given is the procedure which i am using to call the main process.
===========================================================
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE misProcFromJsp(
Cart_Id in number,
Email_Address varchar2
) IS
itemtype varchar2(35);
WorkflowProcess varchar2(35);
itemkey varchar2(35);
temp varchar2(35);
BEGIN
WorkflowProcess := 'CALLING PROCESS';
itemtype := 'PPCUSTOM';
select ITEM_KEY_SEQ.nextval into temp from dual;
itemkey := temp;
wf_engine.CreateProcess (itemtype => itemtype,
          itemkey => itemkey,
process => WorkflowProcess);
wf_engine.SetItemAttrText (itemtype => itemtype,
               itemkey => itemkey,
               aname => 'CART_ID',
avalue => Cart_Id);
wf_engine.SetItemAttrText (itemtype => itemtype,
               itemkey => itemkey,
               aname => 'EMAIL ADDRESS',
avalue => Email_Address);
wf_engine.StartProcess(itemtype => itemtype,

Error while transporting TP in production server in workflow

Dear All,
I have done some workflows . It is working fine in development in quality but in production while TP transporting it is showing error like ' Temporary log /usr/sap/trans/tmp/TP number not found'. why this error is coming ?
Please guide m . Its urgent.
Regards ,
Shital

Shital,
Do you transporting those requests into PRD as Developer?
I think it is basis related issue, did you had any word with SAP basis person.
Any ways could you send long text when it is giving this error.
May be some sequencing issue in PRD?
Cheers
Jai

Non PO Invoice Workflow - Error while Posting Document

Hi Experts
Hope I am posting this in the right forum as I am new to SDN!
We have customized a multi-level non PO invoice workflow which triggers at the time of clicking 'Save as Completed' in tcode FV60.
It has been configured to automatically post the document once it is approved at all the required levels. However, the document cannot be posted even after it receives all levels of approval. The status shows as 'Complete' but the error message shown is 'No Amount Authorization for Customer/Vendor in Company Code' in the workflow screen (MSGID F5, MSGNO 155).
Now as I understand, this is the error for maintenance of user ID in tolerance groups. However, all user IDs have already been maintained and no matter who parks the document, the same error appears in the workflow screen.
We have no idea whether this is happening due to some missing config from FI side or WF side.
Regards

Hi
Go to Tcode: OBA3 Assign tolerance group under your company code and give all limits for each group. If you done this one your properly your problem should solve.
