Workflow Setup and possibilities

Dear Gurus,
I have a client who wants to be able to do multi authoriser through a single initiator while all workflows are active. I currently drive this using below scenario;
Mr. A, B, C are authorisers while Mr Y is the initiator of all documents. For instance; all workflows templates for A,Band C should be active and then Y to be abel to select which of the template to trigger as in AIO.
Once all the templates are active all authorisers gets alert of the approval initiated by Mr Y and the client insist that they want all to be active at all time because we currently manage this with Activating on case of need for each template.
Kindly urgently advise or show me the way to achieve their requirement where by Y would be able to select which of the flow should be triggered at any point in time without necessarily calling for us to deactivate A, or C before B's approval template will be triggered.
Best regards,

Lightroom workflow - HD setup and file locations

Has anyone waxed poetic about catalog and image file locations or workflow? How do you go about conceptualizing a drive and file storage strategy for a Lightroom workflow? Of course this will vary depending on the equipment you have, but I'd appreciate and links to stories that run through various configuration setups and the possible workflows and locations for catalog, master files and backup locations. Here's my setup:
- Mac Pro (3GHz 8 Core) with two 750GB internal drives (one for OS X) the other for Apps and content storage); two empty drive bays for now.
- PowerBook G4 1.2GHz w/160GB internal drive that I use on location, or as an in-lab Flash card reader if the Addonics external, Firewire card reader attached to the Mac Pro fails to see a camera card (as it sometimes does). This second in-lab scenario adds some complexity to the workflow, although the machines are linked with Cat 6, gigabit Ethernet.
- OWC Mercury Elite Pro with two 750GB drives configured as a mirrored, software RAID on Firewire 800 for backups.
Should I set up the Lightroom catalog on the internal "content" drive and store all the actual image files there, reserving the RAID drive strictly for backups? This would mean that the RAID would only be used a redundant backup system (which is fine and what I originally planned) since it's probably slower than the single, internal drive. The problem is this: remembering to back up the files from the main content drive to the software RAID drive.
Or should I be using the slower, mirrored RAID for main content (master image file and catalog) storage.

John, Andrew and others:
Thanks for your thoughts. Do you also use Lightroom to manage all "working" versions of Photoshop files (multiple version - edits - of files in progress)?
During my first couple of projects, I ended up creating a "Working" folder for each project outside the Nikon folder-oriented hierarchy of the original image files. I did this only out of habit rather than workflow planning, but ended up with a second workflow outside of Lightroom.
Does anyone think it's better to simply save these files (with or without the "working" folders) into the same folder hierarchy with all the Nikon originals? I'm just trying to figure out how to organize the workflow for the in-progress files.
Again, before Lightroom, I managed these files in separate folders on the hard drive, and usually moved them to a new location for final storage. Clearly, that won't work for Lightroom, but what does? I'm getting into a bit of trouble trying to manage file (and working folder) locations as I try to transition to a new, database-driven workflow.

Oracle Workflow Builder and Oracle 9i

The Oracle 9i Client CD does not include the Workflow Builder and MAPI Mailer, however the Oracle 9i Server CD NT does under the Client Component option.
Customers on other platforms need access to the builder, so patch 2053572 has been released to remedy this situation.
Customers should not install any other version of the Oracle Workflow Builder into a 9i Oracle Home. Previous releases of the Workflow require and 8i Oracle Home.
See Metalink Note 161304.1 for more details.

Got around the error by not running the installer (setup.exe) that came with the workflow code tree. I ran my Oracle Installer and pointed it at the appropriate place in the workflow code tree, and that worked. The Net8 Config Assistant setup process didn't complete, but I just copied my 9i tnsnames.ora file into the workflow network\admin directory and everything worked fine.

601 SAP Business Workflow - Build and Use

Hello,
I am working in ABAP for last 6-7 years. Due to project need planinng to take BIT 601 SAP Business Workflow - Build and Use class.
Please suggest if this class is good to get started in SAP workflow. Pre-requisite for this class is BIT 600. I am not taking that class. Can I do self study and pick it up?
Please suggest how I can get ready for workflow.
Thanks,
AP

Hi,
Org structure needs to be setup by HR, but you can set up org structure yourself. Its not a big deal. 601 will go thorough this process. Also you can have workflows without org structure.
Go through this link
https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/70b074ac-fa1b-2a10-1587-bd084347fc56
On help.sap.com, there is a demo for an absence request workflow. If you go through them, it should give you an idea of all the basic tcodes including the creation of a HR org structure, workflow build etc.

MDM Workflow setup

Hi All
We have the MDM setup as follows
1 Normal Repository serving the Preview environment
1 Master Repository
1 Slave Repository serving the Production environment
The Slave Repository synchronizes itself with Master Repository using CLIX commands.
We would like to setup a workflow that moves the content from Normal repository to Master Repository, if the user initiates the same. ( no need of multiple approvals )
Is the above workflow setup feasible? or Do we have any specific MDM Client to perform the above operation?
Please let me know if you need more details regarding the same.
Thanks
Prakash

Hello Prakash,
At this time, Workflow does not offer built-in means for operating on multiple repositories. Don't know about starting JavaAPI from workflows.
All I can think of is some sort of Syndication - Import solution, where the preview system syndicates and the production system imports. Launching Syndication from a workflow job should not be attempted in MDM version prior to SP06 patch 1 or, even better, patch 2. As far as I remember, you have an earlier version of MDM, so you will need to schedule Incremental Syndications. For example, a workflow can set a flag (Approved for Production) to true and the incremental syndication will output any record with that flag being true. Any other change made to the record will reset the flag to false.
I believe I already mentioned that one problem you have is your reliance on RecordIds for tracking records, as these ids are internal and subject to change over long terms. AutoIDs are guaranteed to be both unique and persistent over the lifetime of a record, but AutoIDs are always assigned by the system, so you can't pass them directly from a preview system to a production one. A simple solution would be to have two ID fields, one being an AutoID and another just text. On a preview system, the AutoID is assigned into the first field. When copying a record to a production system, you populate the other ID field with the value of the preview's AutoID field. That way, when tracking, you compare the AutoID of a preview record against the other ID of a production record. On the production system, the AutoID should be simply ignored. If you can tolerate different preview and production schemas, it might be a good idea to get rid of the production AutoID.
Hope this helps,
Simon

After installing and configuring Workflow Manager and Service Bus, I'm getting 403.

I've spent the day installing SharePoint 2013 on a Windows Server 2012 environment. This server is not the domain controller. Following instructions on how to install and configure Workflow Manager and service bus, it appears although I'm following the instructions
(and I get no errors), something is not working.
If I try to go to the website that it creates in IIS
http://localhost:12291 I get a 403 error. Also if I perform the powershell query to get the port number "Get-WFFarm | ft WFMgmtHttpPort" I don't get any value returned to me.
Until I validate that the Workflow Manager is installed and working, I will not attempt to pair it to the SharePoint 2013 farm. Which hopefully makes this a Workflow Manager question not a SharePoint issue.
Can anyone offer any suggestions please? Should I even get a valid webpage if I hit localhost:12291? According to one walkthrough I've looked at I should get an XML display of workflow and security configurations.

I experienced the same two issues mentioned in this thread today.
Regarding the proper XML not appearing at <workflowhost>:12291 I was experiencing the same with an error message in Chrome saying the caller lacked read permissions, and 403 in IE. I had checked IIS, database permissions and connections and more.
All of the setup messages and status checks were a-okay. I voted Zimo's comment as helpful because it cued me in to examine the service in Central Administration - where I found there was no administrator assigned to the workflow service. As soon as that was
done, the workflow host site was brows-able.
The resolution to SharePoint Designer not offering 2013 workflows as an option was in my case that there was an additional WFE on which I had not installed the Workflow Manager
Client. This is noted with a bright yellow box in the section about configuring workflow with HTTP here:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj658588(v=office.15)

Workflows 2013 and SQL Report Services: Configure on Independent Servers or Existing App Servers?

Currently, my SharePoint 2013 Farm has Workflows 2013 and SQL Report Services installed on app servers, along with other applications. Workflows 2013 isn't working correctly (installed prior to my coming on board with the organization), I'm assuming it
is a configuration issue, but rather than re-configure, I've read that is recommended to be a standalone server. It was also recommended by a MSFT rep that our report services have its own independent server. Currently, Report Services is also installed on
an app server that runs other applications on the farm.
Has anyone had any experience with installing Workflows 2013 and/or SQL Report Services on independent vs. existing application servers?
Additionally, my existing application servers have 24 GB of RAM (I believe the recommendation for SharePoint production environments is 12 GB), should I plan for the potentially new servers (Workflows and Report Services) to also have 24 GB of RAM? Not really
sure if it will be needed if they have dedicated tasks.
Thanks for any input you can provide!

It entirely depends on load. WFM will work just fine installed on servers in the SharePoint farm. SSRS preferably should go on the end-user facing servers for better performance.
The questions you're asking are all "it depends" :)

VS 2010 Pro "Other Project Types" / "Setup and Deployment": No items found

Hello,
I have VS 2010 Pro Version 10.0.40219.1 SP1 Rel. I have developed a VB.Net application and would like to deploy it. When I try to add a setup project to the solution, I get "No items found" where a list of project types should be in the "Add New Project"
dialog, "Installed Templates", "Other Project Types", "Setup and Deployment". Shouldn't the Pro version have those templates installed? If so, can I copy them from somewhere? I noticed that "Database" and "Test Projects" also have empty lists. There are lots
of templates available for the various languages.
I tried to modify the VS 2010 installation by adding support for SharePoint, but that did not help. Do I have to uninstall, reboot, and re-install? It's so cumbersome considering that I would need to redo the updates as well.
OS is Win 7 Pro, processor is Intel E8400.
Thanks!

Hi robertrackl,
Thanks for your post.
The Setup Project template is located in: Installed Templates >> Other Project Types >> Setup and Deployment >> Visual Studio Installer. Would you please check if the templates exists in this path?
If not, you can follow the steps below to reset your Visual Studio templates:
Please open Windows Explorer, and navigate to <Visual Studio Installation Path>\Common7\IDE
(by default is C:\Program Files \Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\Common7\IDE);
Delete the ItemTemplatesCache, ProjectTemplatesCache
folder;
Open Visual Studio Command Prompt (2010) under Start menu -> All Programs -> Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 -> Visual Studio Tools (run it with Administrator privilege: right-click the program -> Run as administrator);
Run the devenv /InstallVSTemplates switch;
Run the devenv /Setup switch.
If you have any concerns, please feel free to let me know.

Diff: Version on workflow builder and Maintain Active Plan version on SWU3

Group,
Can any one help me to understand the Version on workflow builder and Maintain Active Plan version on SWU3
Thanks in advance !
Richard A

Dear Richard Antony,
The Versioning in the Workflow is very important its some what simmilar to the version on any SAP Objets like Tables, Program etc.
Here Suppose any change comes in working workflow, then in stead of directly change them you can create a version of them and them modify it. So that you can reverst back to that version if required.
Like wise there is lots of importance of versioning Workflow.
The Active Plan version is also important to establish at SWU3. As all the Workflow is using Organization management which is very depended on the Active Plan version. so based on which Plan version you want to use you can Provide in SWU3 to tell Workflow system to use this.
Hope this will give you a clear picture.

Chandrashekhar.

I do not know how to install Firefox 4.0; I get as far as Setup and then I am lost.

I have a desktop PC and I've received e-mails about updating to firefox 4.0. I've tried several times and have not been successful. I get as far as SETUP and cannot get to installing the update.

Fonts are handled by your operating system and installed through the respective System Control panel (Windows) or Fontbook (Mac). On Windows simply type "Fonts" in the search bar in the start menu and when you open the panel/ folder use File --> Add Font. On Mac the procedures are similar, you just need to find the Fontbook app in Applications:Utilities.

Trying to Hot Sync Visor Pro with Windows 7 (64 bit OS) - getting error: "The connection between your handheld computer and the destktop could not be established. Please check your setup and try again."

Hi.
I read the posting regarding the options on Hotsyncing for Windows 7; however, I have some questions as I have a 64-bit system.
I have a Visor Pro that I'm trying to Sync up with my new laptop which is running Windows 7.
Steps I have taken:
* installed the Visor Palm Desktop 3.0.1 that came with the Visor (which the installation went well)
* The issue arises when I push the "Sync" button on the cradle and the following error message appears "The connection between your handheld computer and the destktop could not be established. Please check your setup and try again."
Since I have a 64-bit OS it appears that I have 2 options: 1) bluetooth or 2) Infrared.
I have to admit I don't know know how to do either of these (how can I tell if this Handspring Visor Pro has bluetooth (which I don't it does)?).
Then how about the Infrared option? I see on the PDA it has a red area that one can "beam" info. Is this the same as Infrared or my 2nd option?
I love my Visor and want to continue using it, but need to backup the valuable info!
Any help with this would be greatly appreciated!
THANKS!!!!!
Post relates to: Visor Pro

Hello lwalbring and welcome to the Palm forums.
Your Visor, as you suspect, does not have Bluetooth, so you must use the IR HotSync option. Since you are using Windows 7 64-bit, I believe that you are going to have to upgrade to Palm Desktop 6.2.2 to make things work from an OS/Driver perspective.
Since you are using such an old device, you are also going to have to download and install the PalmHotSyncSetup Utility from Pimlico. This update turns on support for old Palm OS PDAs in Palm Desktop 6.2.2. Without the update, you won't be able to sync your Visor with Palm Desktop 6.2.2. The software is free and the link is all the way at the bottom of the screen.
Lastly, if your PC doesn't have an IR port on it, you will need to purchase a USB to IR adapter. Some laptops still have IR ports and most desktops don't.
Once you have all the pieces, you'll want to go back to the Windows 7 and Vista HotSync thread again, and follow the directions for setting up and configuring IR HotSyncs.

*** ACTUAL FIX! *** How to solve the Windows 8 "Sorry, something happened and we couldn't finish creating the ISO. Restart setup and try again" problem

Author's note: because I'm not yet allowed to post links in the forums, please note that all links have
dot for the actual . in links, and any "http://" is spaced out so things don't appear as links. Common sense, folks.
I found the answer here: http:// wwwdoteightforumsdotcom/tutorials/13200-windows-8-upgrade-iso-redownload.html,
but here's the brief summary:
-I'm guessing that at some point, you probably downloaded the Windows 8 preview, yes? For whatever reason, when you go to do it "for real," the Windows 8 setup doesn't overwrite the old file, called the "WebSetup"
folder. If that folder is still there, you'll get the "Sorry, something happened and we couldn't finish creating the ISO. Restart setup and try again" message.
The location of the folder is at: C:\%UserProfile%\AppData\Local\Microsoft\WebSetup
where %UserProfile% is the user account you downloaded it under (probably your default account) - this is the folder you need to delete.
Once that folder is deleted, run the Windows 8 setup file (found here: http:// windowsdotmicrosoftdotcom/en-US/windows-8/upgrade-product-key-only if
you haven't, like me, already downloaded it 8 different times thinking it was a corrupted file), and it should prompt you at that point for your product key - which is something it wasn't doing for me. After that, you can choose to make it an ISO, run
it normally, run it from USB, etc.
It'd be helpful if Microsoft knew about this... hope it helps...
