Workflow - resubmit rejected content thru DIS

Hey
I have a problem with a workflow. The problem occurs when a contributor is working with content that was previously rejected in a workflow through the DIS. They make the changes recommended by the reviewer and check it back in, but the content is not moving on to the next workflow step. The manual says that they should be able to set a flag named Revision Finished Editing, but it is not appearing in the metadata field screen when I do a "Checkin with metadata". Note that I can see this field if I do the checkin through the web client, just not in the DIS.
Is this a bug, or do I have to do something to get this check box to appear?
Cheers,
A

Hi Alec,
I wonder what needs to happen before a Desmo_Mk* user gives points for "Helpful" or "Correct" answer to anyone and marks the question as "Answered". It is strange to me - unlike many other users of this forum you didn't mind to invest 153 keystrokes to express your gratitude, and yet - no points?
Never mind.
There is actually one thing you could try (which would alleviate your training issue a little bit): you might have noticed that the appearance of the "Workflow" line is a feature of DOC_INFO. You could try to modify the output of this service (this will be an idocScript customization- I assume quite a simple one) to expose not only the name of the workflow, but also APPROVE (and REJECT, if you will) workflow actions. Then you should verify whether this change affects also DIS.
This would save your users two mouse-clicks.

Accessing Documentum Content thru KM in portal

Hi,
I am trying to connect to Documentum content thru KM in portal. I am looking for a better approach to do the same.
http://www.emc.com/products/detail/software/content-services-sap-portal-iviews.htm.
http://www.emc.com/products/detail/software/file-share-services.htm
As per the above two links i understand that documentum content can be accessed by Portal iViews. But not sure from where i can find those iViews? and also not sure whether it can be accessed with Windows file share service?
Could anybody suggest me which approcah is better ? Either thru portal iViews or thru KM repositories?
1. Could anybody guide me what SAP Portal iViews can be used to access Documentum Content?
2. With either the File system repository manager or WEBDAV Repository manager can we access the the documents directly from the Document file share of Documentum?
for example.. The Documents are in this path
Document file share\Repositories\.
Please guide me on this...
Point will be rewarded for the rightful answers.
Regards
Sireesha.

Hi,
I agree that it is worth to try a file system repository on this Documentum File Share.
However I have some concerns about the performance of this kind of integration.
I would expect that the Documentum File Share is allready a software tier wrapping the
core documentum api.
In addition a file system repository has some disadvantages if you are planning to change the repository content both in KM and in the origin (documentum) system.
If you do that, the KM file system repository has to synchronize itself again and again.
The repository (and sometimes the whole portal) may slow down dramatically.
So give it a try but consider to either buy the documentum repository manager or write your own.
See the following link to a nice code sample:

Error when associating workflow with Task Content Type

Using SharePoint Designer 2010, I have created a simple workflow that sends an email out when a tasks due date has past. I created this as a Global Workflow and then tried to "Associated to Content Type", selecting "Task". I am then taken
to... COMPANY PORTAL--> Site Settings--> Site Content Types--> Task--> Add a Workflow. When I try to associate the new "Global" workflow and select OK I get the following error...
Error
Workflows may not be associated with content types whose base is on 'WorkflowTask'.
I have looked up the error but find no real explination of what it means. And I have associated global workflows with custom content types and never had this issue.
So what's going on?
Thanks
Steve
Thanks in advance for your time. Steven

Hi ,
I understand that when you bind the workflow to Tasks content type, there is an error. I can reproduce this error. This is because we cannot add a reusable workflow to a workflow tasks content type. When you add the reusable workflow to the Tasks content
type, you must have checked the ‘Add this workflow to all content types that inherit from this content type’. In this way, the workflow will be added to all the Tasks content type and workflowtasks content type. There will an error. After you close the error
message, the workflow is added to the Tasks content type.
The workaround is the check No to ‘Add this workflow to all content types that inherit from this content type’.

Is there a way to customize the MDM Workflow email notification content?

I am looking for a way to customize the MDM Workflow email / notification content. For example, I might want to put the Supplier ID(s) of the impacted supplier records (be it Update, Insert & Delete) into the email body or put an URL into the email body.
Can MDM Workflow do this?
Is there any workaround?
Thanks

Hi,
What you can do is add a boolean field to the repository, for instance "Send Mail". You can use an assignment in the Workflows to set this field to true. Next, define an updatelistener and pick up the change to this field. If the value is "true", send out an email. Afterwards, let the listener change the value back to "false".
Good luck,
Gerwin

2013 Workflows - Trigger a workflow from a Content Type

So now that a workflow cannot be triggered from a Content Type, how are people doing this now?
Any suggestions appreciated.
Thanks
J Sykes

Hi,
According to your description, my understanding is that you want to trigger a workflow from a Content Type.
As we all know, we can attach a workflow to a Content Type, but the workflow cannot run until the Content Type is added to a list or library.
The elements of a list content type include the columns of metadata that are associated with the content type and workflows that can run on items of that content type.
More information about the content type and workflow are provided in the link below:

OOTB Approval Workflow for a Content Type sends emails for 2 content types

My environment: SP 2013 Server (WFE-APP) + SQL
I have a few Content Types configured in a document library. Every content type has an OOTB approval workflow to fire an e-mail to the approver on each new/edit.
When I create a new file for testing, it first becomes checked out with no properties added. I then edit the properties to specify its content type and other fields. When I check in the document, SharePoint sends out an e-mail to the approver for that content
type which is correct. What SharePoint also does for this very same file is sends out an approval request e-mail for the default content type for that library which is something else than a desired content type.
This is something I cannot understand. I thought that the workflows start on a file 'Check in'. If I check in a file that is a certain content type, why does the approval for a default content type for a library trigger as well?

Hi,
Is it SharePoint 2013 workflow or previous 2010 model workflow? If it's SharePoint 2013, how are you associating workflow to content type. As per
MSDN "Unlike previous versions, SharePoint 2013 does not support workflows that are scoped to a
content type. However, the messaging infrastructure is extensible, so it can support
any arbitrary scope. As a developer, you can set to", workflow association with content type (which was possible in SharePiont 2010) is no longer available out of the box. You need to do it manually, (not sure how as there's no documentation yet
from MS) and programmatically.

How to publish workflows created under content type to make it available in all my-sites.

Hi,
i followed this procedure to publish workflows in my-sites but even after activating workflow feature am unable to get created workflow templates in my-site.
Create a workflow and associate it with your content type in the hub.
Before publishing this content type, export the reusable workflow and import it in all the subscriber site collections or deploy your workflow to the farm if it is a farm solution
Activate your workflow feature
Now, your workflow is available in the hub as well as all the subscriber site collections.
Publish the content type. The workflow association will be publish.
can anyone help me out of this issue.

Hi,
As I understand, you encountered the issue after activating workflow feature.
Per my test, I can get the created workflow templates
after activating workflow feature by workflow 2010.
1. Check if you use SharePoint 2010 workflow because SharePoint 2013 workflow doesn’t work.
2. Reactive the workflow template feature in your site collection.
3. If it still doesn’t work, open the site collection you want to use the workflow in the SharePoint designer and associated the workflow with the content type in the site collection. After these steps, you can use workflow in your all site collection.
There is a similar thread:

1.Open your site in the SharePoint Designer, go to Workflows->open the workflow you want to modify ->click the Approval->click on “Change
the behavior of the overall task process” in the Approval editor page.
2.Find the Step “When the Task Process Completes”-> “Set workflow status to Rejected.”
3.Add two “Set Workflow Variable” from Action on the ribbon,Click on “workflow
variable” then select “Variable: CompletionMailTitle”(editing the email title) and “Variable: CompletionMailReason”(editing the email body).
4.Scroll below and click on the last action – “Email Workflow Context: Initiator” under “Else”,remove
the first line.

How can we implement workflow for Deleted content

Hi Experts,
whenever we delete a content , It never went into Workflow.
I want when user delete any content, It should go into workflow. When approver approves it, only then content item should actually deleted. If approver rejects it, content item should not get deleted.
Is there any way to achieve this ??
thanks

Several things jump out about how you may be using delete.
First is that delete rights are set up as separate and distinct from Read and Write (contribute) rights. This is true even for content authors.
There is good reasoning behind this. Basically, because deleting items has special and often regulated meaning, giving users delete permission should be a very intentional action and never a default.
Second, using the "expiry" functionality is a much better and safer option in most cases. Expiring a piece of content removes it from visibility to all except the sysadmin. Expiring content effectively "soft deletes" the item from the user experience while allowing the administrators to still recover the item if necessary. Another advantage of expiring content rather than deleting it is that as the content approaches the expiry date or as an expiry action is triggered, this can automatically trigger actions like a workflow review, email notification, BPEL service call etc. This gives you advance warning as well as the ability to intercept, review, and sign off on the action. You can also run batch jobs to archive and store or archive / delete "expired" items if you determine that you still need to do this.
Finally, if you have considered the above options and still determine that you need to capture "delete requests" then the best option is to write a custom component that intercepts the delete service request and triggers a workflow, notification, expiry or other action.
Remember that when you delete an item you must consider whether or not you are deleting just the latest released revision or all revisions or some selection of revisions. OOTB, UCM allows those with delete permissions to delete revisions one at a time. The repository manager applets provide admins with a bit more batching flexibility.
Hope that helps,
Warmly,

How to manage workflow of a content from Webcenter?

Hi,
Is there a way to manage the UCM content workflow from Webcenter portal ?
We are aware of the Components like Document Explorer, Document Manager, etc. But none of this seems to provide the workflow functionality (approve/reject etc) by default.
Would this be possible by doing customization to any OOB component ?
Regards,
Shalin

Hi Shalin,
You can use Workflow Queue Portlet part of Oracle Content Portlet Suite (CPS). We have successfully use in Spaces 11GPS4.
Following deployment guide explain you how to install CPS portlets:-
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E21764_01/doc.1111/e10637/c05_portlets.htm#i1090949
Following user guide explain you how to use in WebCenter:-
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E21764_01/webcenter.1111/e10149/content_workflow.htm#WCSUG8483
The only limitation we found with this portlet is that you can't assign workflow to a group/role.

Workflow approval/reject buttons have dissapeared

Hello
I am using workflow task to approve or to reject the workflow assign task. I've just tried to reorder the workflow task fields by entering into "Workflow Task (Sharepoint 2013)" content type, and then entering into "Column order" there,
and then I just reordered some fields inside. This caused the dissapearence of approve/reject buttons from workflow task approval form.
Please help!
Thanks

I was having the same issue, though I don't know how I got there. (I had "help" on the site.)
I performed these steps to resolve the issue:
Deleted the Workflow Tasks list.
Created a new workflow "Delete Me" for the sole purpose of creating the Workflow Tasks list again. Publish the workflow.
Went back to the original workflow and selected the new Workflow Tasks list and republished. The buttons came back.
Then, I deleted the "Delete Me" workflow.
Hoping this solution is valuable to someone else,

App rejected, content failed to load. Help!

Okay, I was able to get two magazines up to the App Store without any problems, but the third one was not the charm. This third publication differs in that we enabled Newsstand as well as free subscriptions. I think this is where I messed up. I read that the first issue for subscriptions needs to be submitted for review at the time the app is submitted for review. I tested the dev app and the content didn't load. I assumed it was because the issue had to be approved by Apple for an in-app purchase. I submitted the app and it was rejected, because it just said "Updating Library" the preview issue never loaded. I put the product ID for the issue in Folio Producer as com.xxxxxxxx.xxxxx.free. This was the same ID i used in iTunes Connect for the subscription issue.
Now, I first built the viewer witjout Newsstand enabled, loaded the dev viewer and it pulled the content just fine. But we went back in and enabled Newsstand, loaded the dev app and it did load into Newsstand, but the content wouldn't update. What am I doing wrong?
Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks so much!

Bob,
I think I’m still confused. I don’t think I resubmitted it correctly. This whole Newsstand and Free-Subscriptions thing is very confusing.
Okay, here is what I did.
·        Changed the product ID on the folio in Folio Producer. This then allowed the content to come into the app on my iPad in Newsstand.
·        I logged into iTunesConnect and set up my account so that I could resubmit the binary.
·        Got an error message in Application Loader saying something about Newsstand being enabled and it not finding an appropriate in-app purchase set up… or something along those lines.
·        I went back into iTunesConnect, clicked on Manage In-App Purchases
·        I could then see that my previous in-app purchase was rejected.
·        So I deleted that one and created a new one. Tried using the same product ID of the previous in-app purchase, but it wouldn’t allow it.
·        That seemed to go okay. Got a screen showing my in-app purchase with a check box next to it.
·        I clicked the check box, then the submit button became active. It stated that in order to submit the in-app purchase, you must have an app ready for it.
·        But since I didn’t resubmit the new binary, I didn’t submit the in-app purchase for review.
·        SO…. I went back to Application Loader and tried to resubmit my app. It worked this time. The binary was received okay by iTunes.
·        But then I went back into iTunesConnect and back into Manage In-App Purchases and the option for submitting my in-app purchase was no longer there. But it still has a yellow dot next it saying “Ready to Submit”
·        But I can’t submit it.
·        AND… my previous in-app purchase I had set up prior to it being rejected appeared and it says ACTIVE next to it.
I am soooooo confused.
Any ideas?
Thanks!

Workflow attached to content type shows the status as 'Starting'

Hi,
I have developed a workflow to distribute documents from Drop Off library to different SharePoint libraries based on the content type that the document uploaded to.
The drop off library has been configured incoming mail settings hence the documents would be on boarded to drop off library through e-mails. In this scenario, my workflow should be triggered when the document is on boarded through email.
Another scenario, the user can upload the document to different content type manually and updates the respective meta data values. This scenario, my workflow should be triggered when the item updated.
So, I have configured my workflow should run on the content types and trigger when item is created through e-mail and item is updated by manual.
The document on boarded through e-mails are working fine as soon as the item is created.
Issue:
The workflow associated on a content type which needs to be triggered on item created is triggering as soon as the user uploads a document manually and shows the status as 'Starting'.
The workflow associated on a content type which needs to be triggered on item modified is triggering as soon as the user updating meta data values after document is uploaded. Hence, throwing an error
'cannot open a file from drop off' library exception when I try to read file using C# code as file stream bytes.
Configuration:
1. The content types are having mandatory fields which has a default values set.
2. The document version settings are set as check out the document when editing the properties.
Please help me to resolve this bug and let me know if you need more details.
Also, let me know how can we cancel the workflow if it is in 'starting' mode.
The workflow should run the document is onboardedwhen an item is created and
