Workflow should trigger through portal.

Hi Experts,
I am new to workflow.
I have a requirement to trigger workflow through portal.
This is basically to automate the reimbursement process.
When the user submits the form it should go for approval to the managers
depending on the claimed amount.
I want to know how we can do this, is there any standard workflow or we should customize the workflow. Can this be done only through portal alone .
Please give me a clear idea how to proceed.
Thanks
Chakri....

Hi Chakravarthy,
Function Modules to trigger workflow
SAP_WAPI_START_WORKFLOW via RFC
SAP_WAPI_CREATE_EVENT via RFC or via HTTP
Leave Request for ESS Portal WS12300111 Standard Workflow
Important transactions: SWFVISU,WF_EXTSRV QISRSCENARIO

Access workflow through portal application

HI everyone,
we are working on a portal application for PO approval processo which reads the workflow inbox and displays in the portal, now when users hits on an workitem , two button are displayed approve and reject and when user hits on approve , the next level approvers are displayed and when the user hits on the next approver, the flow has to go to backend and the workflow needs to proceed.
Now that the portal development is fine but after the user chooses the next approver , how exactly the workflow should continue.
Is there any way by which we can make this work and after user chooses the next approver the workflow will send the mail to next level approver.
we are missng the link how to link the workflow

KandaRaj,
This is possible by configuring UWL (Universal Work List) in Portal.
Please look at this Document:

Unable to run a report through Portal.

Hi All,
I am not able to run a particular BEX report through portal.
I get a white screen and no pop-up for selections and later nothing happens.
I have checked my Roles but no changes has been made.
My other colleagues are able to run the report.
Please let me know what could be the possible reason/solution for such an issue.

are different roles assigned?
i.e., for you and for your colleagues. Please try login with your id in their PCs and vice versa.
let check the compatibility. if you are failed to execute in that PCs also, then it should be authorization issue. Ask your basis folks to add that particular info area and info cubes to your role.
Hope this would give you clear pic.

Creating a trigger in Portal

I'm trying to create a trigger in Portal using the Wizard with the code below. It will not compile. Any ideas on why?
Thank you,
Sam
DECLARE
next_chemical_id msds.chemicals.id%TYPE;
BEGIN
SELECT chem_id.NEXTVAL
INTO next_chemical_id
FROM dual;
:chemicals.id := next_chemical_id;
END;

How to create trigger through Java programm?

I write a Java programm to create a trigger(through JDBC connection). After I run the programm, a trigger was created in Oracle 10g.But the trigger is invalid. After Compiling the trigger , a error "PLS-00103 " occured .But if I excute the SQL in SQL developer,the trigger was created successfully.
If there is some special considerations should be taken when using programm to create trigger?
My Java programm fragment as follows:
     public void createTrigger() throws SQLException{
          Statement stmt = conn.createStatement();
          stmt.executeUpdate(getCreateTriggerSql());
Edited by: jerry on 2010-6-29 下午6:42

Yes the special consideration is you shouldn't perform DDL on the fly, as it has all kinds of unwanted side effects like implicit commits.
If I would start a company, and I discover one of my developers is writing this kind of program, I would fire him, on the spot.

Urgent: Issue while accessing MSS through portal

Hi All,
Recently HRSP 70 was applied to R/3 system. And after that we are getting scenario does not exist when clicked on MDT->Reporting->choose report e.g. Education->Select people -> and start report through portal.
And we got Scenario does not exist error.
We referred HRWPC_FC_EXEC error and applied following settings :
For service: sap/bc/gui/sap/its/hrwpc_fc_exec
1) Go to GUI Configuration and set the following parameter
    Parameter name: ~webgui_theme
    Value: sl
2) Then go to transaction SITSPMON -->Template and Mimes tab
    Invalidate template caches
After this what is happening is a bit wierd though a workaround is found.
Now when user clicks start report through portal he gets a popup for SAP inbox mentioning there are xx documents unread, if he clicks on ok he again gets "scenario does not exist" . However if he goes and reads all the documents in inbox and then again execute start report through portal he can see the desired output.
Now still if we just go to sicf transaction in R/3 and just right click on HRWPC_FC_EXEC and execute Test Service we still get Scenario does not exist
Also note we have reports iview with MSS1 scenario and viewgroup in Selection Criteria is a Z group
Where in R/3 side should these entries be maintained ?
Can anyone please suggest what would be the connection of unread documents here with scenario ? And where is scenario missing ? Kindly let me know if any other input is needed.

Hi Joyce,
Yes we were able to resolve it, we added one more parameter "NO_LOGON_USEREXIT" with value "1" in GUI configuration of the service "HRWPC_FC_EXEC". This resolved our issue.
Try it at your end , let me know if any issue.

Any changes in the condition value then system should trigger a mail.

Hello Experts,
I have below requirement
If user does any changes (increase the price /decrease the price) in the condition value then system should trigger a mail and goes for approval.
How i can achieve this ?
Thanks

Hi
In that case again you can use MV45AFZZ program and USEREXIT_PRICING_PREPARE_TKOMP. If this exit didnt work you can try in other save or prepare to save exits in this same program. For order statuses and authorization you can use status profile and control authorization through an authorization object. For email use email sending function and users will receive an email whenever some specific condition value is changed.
This will be ABAP coding in above mentioned program using implicit enhancement. There is no standard solution for this and you have to go for customization.
Thank$

Accessing windows explorer through portal

is it possible to access windows explorer through portal. or is there a way to access the files in the computer thro portal. i mean something similiar to windows explorer.
can we access windows explorer itself or we need build an application for this. can someone give me an idea on this. its urgent.
regds
Rajesh

Hi Sharmila,
a. Access through Windows Explorer. User should be able to do all required operations related to document handling through Windows Explorer (Check in, Check out, etc.). all these must be done thro portal.
b. Integration with MS Office and other popular softwares like Visio, MS Project, etc. User should be able to open, save, check-in, check- out document from within these applications. the corresponding file when clicked should open in ms office or word with all the tool boxes enabled.
c. allow the users to categorize the document repository to different categories.
d. should support versioning of the documents.
e. should have predefined user levels / category.
plzz look into this , say me which is possible and which is not possible. Thanks in advance

Image upload through Portals?

Hi All,
I have a image field in my table and integrated with portals...I can able to see the existed images in the iviews, but I can't able to upload a image from portals.
I didn't find any attachment button next to image value, please let me know how can I can add images through portals...
Regards,
Pooja

This seems odd.... don't you get any options as to enable the image upload? Try looking at the iview properties, as where you set up the size, heigth etc, instead of the options given on the iView wizard.
for instance, add the iview to a page. Open the page for edition and click on the iView to select it. Click on properties and on the right you should see them. Do you get anything useful there?
I am currently using SP04 but I assisted to the SP5 webex presentation, and is stated there that this feature is in place

Authorization problem to execute a report through portal

Hi All,
One of user while trying to execute report through portal, getting error message saying that
"you are not authorized to execute the report XXXXXXX'
Can not load query <query name> (data provider <data provider name> No authorizations for requested service.
The report is a web template which is getting executed through portal.
User is having all the authorizations to execute the report(report autho as well as infoprovider autho also)
we have regenerated the user roles , done user comparision....every thing is OK.
Still unable to execute the report.
Please advice what can be done in this case....
Regards

Hi Shaik,
Are you able to run this report with your user id?
If so check the role or authorization objects which are missing to the user.
And also check whether he got portal roles assigned to his profile.

Portal Runtime Error while accessing BW reports through portal

We are facing portal runtime error(An exception occurred while processing your request. Please send the exception id to your portal administrator) while accessing BI reports through portal frequently.
We are unable to trace the error in the 'default trace' log file and although refreshing the cache solves this issue, it is difficult to explain this to every user individually.
