Workflow refresh in ECC

Hi all,
We have serious problems refreshing our workflow definitions in ECC.
When I do a 'test execute' in the workflow template, everything goes ok and the
workflow behaves like we designed it.
When we test it 'live', the workflow does complete other things or gives errors.
We noticed this behaviour allready a few times and you can easily lose whole days searching after it when finally for some reason, it works after a while.
It has to do with buffer refreshing but I tried allready /$tab and /$sync and SWU_OBUF and SWUS
Thanks for any help,
Hans

Hello Hans,
I assume you're testing in a different client? If so, a reliable method is to go to the WF builder in your test client, Workflow -> Activation -> Generate runtime version. Then start a whole new WF from scratch.
Cheers,
Mike

  • System Refresh for  ECC & PI in Oracle MCOD database

    Hi All,
    We are running our ECC system on linux and oracle. Our ECC Development system and PI Develeopment system is running on one box and on the same database (MCOD).  The same is with the ECC production and PI production running on the same system and same database (MCOD).
    Now our requirement is to refresh the ECC development system from ECC PRD system. But we don't want to do any changes in PI system. One option is that we can export the DEV Pi schema by running SAPINST and than refresh the ECC DEV system with ECC PRD system.
    After this we will install fresh PI where it will ask for DB export we will give the path of the PI export which we have taken. But i am not sure this is possible or not. Is this possible??
    Or Is there any other easy possible ways to do it?
    Thanks,
    Bhanu

    This is one big drawback of MCOD, you will always copy all. What makes things even more difficult is the fact, that a PI is basically an MCOD itself - it's ABAP + Java - which must both be copied. So you would need
    - export the full PI system (ABAP + Java) - which is a homogeneous system copy Part I
    - copy the database
    - fiddle on database level to delete both PI schemas (ABAP + Java)
    - install a new PI as homogeneous system copy Part II
    Technically it's feasible but I wonder, that if you already try to separate the instances, why not install a second ORACLE_HOME on the QA (and later also on PRD) so you can in the future copy the system independently from each other?

  • Need to know the difference between SRM workflow and Normal Ecc 6.0 Worflow

    Hi All,
    I have worked on Ecc 6.0 worflow, just wanted to know how is SRM workflow going to be different than the ECC6.0 worflows.
    Incase if someone can suggest some links for tutorials for SRM workflow basics.
    Thanks to all in advance.

    Hi
    In addition to Masa
    For every business object we do have one or more  work flow templates are available.

  • GL Workflow items from ECC 6.0 to MSS

    Hi all,
    Here is quite basic question related to MSS portal:
    Could you please advice how the workflow items are transferred from SAP ECC 6.0 to MSS portal?
    I guess it is done via some kind of XML file...but does anybody have any better idea how to find this file or a program responsible for its creation in SAP?
    We need to remove some items from the file to protect them to be shown in MSS portal.
    Any advice would be highly appreciated.
    kind regards,
    Slawomir Ptas

    WF items which are available in SBWP is shown in UWL ie in MSS. Its one to one mapping
    You can use filtering to hide some items in UWL.

  • Restarting the workflow items in ECC 6.0 system

    In 4.6 version we restart the workflow items from SWI1 tcode, but in ECC 6.0 we are not able to do the same from SWi1 , please provide pointers to  restart the workitems in upgraded system.
    Moderator message: this is the wrong forum, please have a look in the forum for "SAP Business Workflow".
    Edited by: Thomas Zloch on Jun 3, 2011 10:27 AM

    Hi,
    You can choose the workitem and click on the Display technical workitem and from edit-change mode
    You will get the options on the left side...fill the container and click on the execute after error option to restart the workitem.

  • OER workflow refresh issue

    Automation scripting in OER, While working on workflow.xml , I added few more assets and wanted to push them on OER but refreshment on OER console not displaying those new assets and new projects.
    I am referring to Oracle Fusion Middleware Configuration Guide for Oracle Enterprise Repository document, Page 247. Section : 9.5.4.1.1 Setting the Community for an Oracle Enterprise Repository Project.
    Let me know if anyone face this issue..
    Good Luck!! Vishal

    Hello,
    To find where a task is used, go to e.g. PFTC_DIS, fill in Standard Task and the task number, click Display, then click on where-used.
    For this case, I would look at the user's inbox in SWI5 and then click on the list of workitems to see the workflow log. It should tell you why the workitem is coming back (if he really did refresh).

  • Call / trigger an ECC workflow step from PI ?

    Hi,
    For a flow "ext (file) -> PI -> ECC (workflow)", from PI, I need to run / execute / trigger () a workflow step in ECC, which already exist. I think that I can acheive this by creating an abap proxy in ECC in which I will call a Bapi or Method to run / execute / trigger () this workflow step. I don't know exactly how for the moment (in parallel I'm doing search about it), but that's not the matter.
    before to waste time by searching in this way, what's the best solution to call an ECC workflow step from PI ?
    Many thanks.
    Mickael
    (*) maybe I don't use the good terminology. Sorry.

    hi Shabarish,
    I'm confortable with web service, IDoc, RFC/bapi and abap proxy (and ...), but here, I prefer to use abap proxy (asynch + sxmb_moni in ecc) except if there is another better approach
    else as in PI we have ccBPM, so a workflow , as in ECC we have also workflow , does my approach (abap proxy & call method) is the good one ? or is there a better way between these two workflow tools: PI + ECC ? like a standard "workflow module" or a workflow "connexion" ? (I fear I know the answer but I would prefer to be sure),
    Note: I'm in PI 7.11 SP06 and ECC 6.0.
    Regards.

  • Integrating ECC business workflow into CRM

    What is the best approach for integrating (or not) ECC business workflow into CRM?
    For example, lets say you have an elaborate custom workflow built in ECC for blocked sales orders which triggers a workitem to the CSR user ID into the SAP SBWP inbox.
    But now you are implementing CRM and your customer service reps want to "live" in CRM.
    So you want them to be aware that they have a blocked order assigned to them in ECC SBWP inbox.
    Whats the solution?
    Do they have to toggle over and login to ECC, so they have to "work" 2 inboxes?
    Is there some solution existing in SAP between these 2 systems that synchs the workflows, such that you can open and process and complete the workflow inside CRM?
    Do you have to write some custom "notification" that sends CRM a message letting them know ECC has something?
    We have order management in ECC, CRM only being used for service notifications and customer interactions, but CSRs envision "one cockpit" or one inbox for all their to-dos.
    We do not use Portals, so the integrated inbox is not an option.

    Hi Jason,
    Did you find a solution for this ?
    I have a similar requirement where i need to trigger a workflow in SAP CRM and i need the approval request to flow to ECC as my approvers work only in ECC and never in CRM !
    Is this integration a valid scenario ? and can we configure this ?
    It would be of great help you you can share any documents available on the same.,
    Thanks & regards

  • ECC 6 system refresh

    Hi all
    I am trying to do the system refresh of ECC 6 for the first time. The database part is done and database is up and running but the CI dies after sometime stating that the J2EE status info unavilable.
    When I dig deep in it it feels like something is wrong with the SAPUSER table in the database thats having the sapecc user and the password for it. I did the R3TRANS -X and it created the log file that tells me that its not able to connect to the database.
    Can anyone tell me the correct way to do the system refresh or how can I rectify this issue now.
    Thanks in advance.

    I am trying to do the system refresh since the last 5 days and I am not able to do it.  Here is what I did last night:
    1) I restored the backup of the target server and make sure that everything is working the way its supposed to work before the refresh.
    2) I exported SAPUSER table and other users who are database owners.
    3) I refreshed the database of the target server with source server.
    4) Bring up the Oracle database.
    5) Imported the users and tables.
    6) Now I dont see problem with the SAPUSER table but still I am not able to start the CI. When I execute the R3trans -X following is the log file generated. I am running ECC 6 with Oracle 10 G with ABAP and Java.
    Thanks for all your help.

  • CCMS Workflow Monitoring - Task

    Hello,
    I would like to see if we can use CCMS to monitor Workflow specifically the Task. Here is a sample Purchase Order Create scenario.
    1 - Purchase Order Create Request comes in (as interface) from PI to ECC.
    2 - Purchase Order created successfully (or failed) in ECC.
    3 - Upon successful (or fail) creation of Purchase Order in ECC, ABAP codes calls a function to raise an Event named "CREATED" under Business Object named "BUS2012" for "PurchaseOrderERPRequest_In_V1" service interface in ECC.
    4 - Workflow Engine in ECC acknowledges the event that was raised in step 3 and executes assigned Task ID "53800009" for that event which executes the Class named "CL_SE_PUR_PO_WF_OUT" which is basically going to send out Purchase Order Create Acknowledgment message (as interface) back to PI so that PI knows PO has been successfully created (or failed) in ECC.
    The monitoring gap we have today is when Task ID fails, it does not send out Acknowledgment message back to PI which can cause a problem. We want to be able to monitor the execution of Task ID with CCMS if this is possible via CCMS.
    Can this (monitoring Workflow Task via CCMS) be done with CCMS?
    Thanks,

  • Workflow loop, return the work item to the inbox, instead of automatically executing the work item

    Hello all,
    Within a workflow I have a loop. Inside that a foreground step is executed. Then a condition step is executed to decide if the workflow should continue, stop, or return the work item to the inbox.
    This new workflow was modeled after an existing workflow that is doing just that. Unfortunately, this new workflow is not returning the work item to the inbox. Instead, it just keeps displaying the screen that is called by the function module that is called by the business object method that is executed when the foreground task runs.
    I've included a Word document with further detail in a number of screen prints. Hopefully this is something that will experience workflow developer may have seen before and know how to correct.
    Unfortunately I have done very little workflow development and don't have a clue what might be causing this problem.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    I could not attach a Word file, so I added 3 jpg files.  I would have added another 3, but it seems that posts are limited to 3 files.

    Hi Bruce,
    As per your design, If you are approving or returning, the workflow loops back to the step "Approver - stat key approve".
    Suppose you are one of the approver for this step ""Approver - stat key approve" and if you click on approve or return, then it will try to create a new workitem for "Approver - stat key approve" step.
    As you are one of the approver again, the window opens immediately instead of reaching the inbox of all other approvers.
    Include a dummy activity step in the "approve & return" condition outcome.
    Active the workflow & refresh the buffer SWU_OBUF.
    After this, when you click on return it will not open the same screen again. Instead it will be reaching all the approvers' SAP inbox.
    Thanks,
    Karthikeyan

  • Workflow error when submitting Employment Verification Letter in ESS Portal

    in ESS Portal, when trying to send the employment verification letter by mail I get a workflow error in ECC. Error occurs in workflow template WS01000045 (Employment and Salary Verification) task TS00408262 (PF: Find basic pay). The employee submitting the verification letter request is an active employee, has infotype 105 data in the system, and has basic pay data in the system.
    workflow log (SWI1) shows the "Basic Pay" object available and when double clicking on the object, it brings me to PA20 where I can see the Basic Pay infotype with correct data.
    Can someone help?
    note: the employee is Canadian, in case this matters.

    Have you created the resposibilities for the rule 60100010 becuase if you observe the rule it will determine the agents by using the category Agent Determination: Reponsibilities so i think you missed to create responsibilities
    for creating responsibilities [check|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/EN/ef/3dc9469bbe11d189470000e8216659/content.htm]
