Workflow Step is "inprocess" not going further

Hi experts,
I have a workflow with 6 steps(activity) now it stops with 2nd step itself i dnt know how to find out . status "inprocess" there is no approval anything there.. simply it has execute BUsiness object method(customized one).

Hi,
There are some cases which you have to check
1) Check if you method is executed successfully from Bus. object with same inputs
2) If it is using any transactions inside, chk tht it is not locked by others
3) You can also check the application log using tcode SLG1 to find if what has gone wrong in ur step
4) If a infinite loop exists in the method code
5) If a debugging code is included in the method code, you can check tht in SM50 tcode for debugging
But if you can explain more abt the purpose of the of the background step, then it will be easy to track the problem.

Try this:
1. Close all apps in the Task Bar. Double-click the Home button and hold apps down for a second or two. Tap the minus sign to close app.
2. Hold the Sleep and Home button down until you see the Apple Logo.

Grey screen with apple and endless circle at startup...never going further

I am hoping someone can help me figure out why my G3 won't go to the desktop page when I try to start it up. I downloaded some updates and then when I went to restart, I could only get the grey apple screen with the little circle going around and it stays that way for hours not going further. Nothing else appears on the screen. There is no message. Someone mentioned a "safe start". Would that be something to try? What could be wrong? Is the computer too old? Did it blow a fuse or something? Help! It was working fine earlier.

You can try starting in safe mode (see directions below) but I am not optimistic. Should it indeed start up in Safe Mode then you might be able to re-install the package(s) safely 9again, see below) from there.
Two things seemed to be solutions for Security Update 2008-008 problems from what I have read, and may also work with 2009-01.
One is Archive and Install which will replace the corrupted system but then requires you reapply all your updates. Select the keep settings and preferences when doing A&I. Make sure you select that option when doing A&I if you want settings and preferences kept. Some third party applications may need reinstalling if they have special components.

[How to get files from a previous home directory after Archive and Install|http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=107297]
The other is to try to re-install the security update on the main drive while booted from a secondary drive or in Single User Mode. This could be from another Mac computer while your first one is in Target Disk Mode, perhaps a bootable backup drive, or possibly from your installer disc. Here's references for those methods:

http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=8634535#8634535
A version of this is to use Single User Mode and Terminal to re-install the update as in:
http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=8991074#8991074
Updating
Certain steps appear to minimize the risk of an update producing problems.
Number one is to make sure you have a clone backup of your computer in case you do need to back out of it again. This is the only guaranteed way of not having to worry about the results of an update.
Some like to boot from their installer discs or an external backup and verify (and if necessary repair) their internal drives as well as drive permissions. This is done with Disk Utility. You can verify a drive while booted from the same drive but sometimes this produces spurious errors. Repairing a drive (if necessary) has to be done while booted from another disk. Permissions repair can, and is probably best, done when booted from your internal drive.

[Disk Utility's Repair Disk Permissions|http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=25751]
You can also go to the step of booting into safe mode to do the install.

[Safe Boot takes longer than normal startup|http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=107394]
I like to download the update onto my computer and install it from there rather than let Software Update do it. I know a few people who had problems with doing the update via software updater found a manual install to work.
Repair permissions again afterward.
It also helps to only install one update at a time and to run the computer for a while to make sure it is behaving well.
The more cautious even like to unplug third party peripherals (see [comment by BDaqua|http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=9040746#9040746]).
Almost all of the above steps (except backup) have been questioned as to necessity because probably many people have done successful updates without doing them. I say they can't hurt, they can very likely do good (especially if your computer isn't regularly maintained), so why not do them to be safe.

Workflow step is not getting executed

Hi all,
I have designed a workflow in which I have a Decision step. after taking the a decision then it is taking so much time to execute the next step which is a background step.
The waiting time is varying from time to time some times it is getting executed in 20 min, some time it is taking 1 hr no fixed time.
I have used SAP_WAPI_DECISION_COMPLETE function module and I am passing space to the DO_COMMIT becuse of this the workitem is getting completed but it is not going to the next step. This fm is called under a button Approve of a WD application. after completeing the entire cycle of the WD application we are using the statement COMMIT WORK but still the execution is not going to the next step.
In this regard , please, can any body share their views and ideas.
And it is mandatory that only after the webdynpro application execution finishes they want to COMMIT the work.
One more thing while searching forums I found like there are terms like DB COMMIT and simple COMMIT WORK what is the difference between them .
Thanks&Regards
Pavan

Hello,
I wasn't asking about the commit.
In the first post you said:
"The waiting time is varying from time to time some times it is getting executed in 20 min, some time it is taking 1 hr no fixed time."
And in the latest post you said:
"but no matter it is not moving to the next step"
Which one is true?
And anyway, commiting the result of a decision step is not, I think, something that can be delayed.

I just did a software update that was apparently for iPhoto. When I try to open iPhoto it stops at "step 5" and will not go further. what do I do?

I just did a software update that was apparently for iPhoto. When I try to open iPhoto it stops at "step 5" and will not go further. what do I do?

Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one. .

Workflow step not executed...

Hi,
In my workflow requirement (for VA01), I want to record the status in a custom table as follows;
Approver id     date   time    status
ABC                                     Submitted for approval
ABC                                     Approved (or) Rejected
So I have created a step called 'update custom status' after the step that sends email to the approver agent whose details stored in another custom table. Then I associated a task with this step which is bound to a custom class / method which has the logic to write the status to the custom table.
The issue is I do not see this step excuted. I checked in the log.
What can be wrong ?
Workflow steps are as follows;
1. Read the document's net value and store in a variable.
2. Read the custom table for agents list to whom the doc has to be sent for approval.
3. Send email for approval.
4. update custom status.
In the graphical view, I can see the update custom status step being called (Green link from previous step to this step) but after that no progress.
Am I missing passing some values ? Or is this step not giving any results ? Whats happening ?
Details on this update custom status step are as follows;
A custom task with terminating event set as _WORKITEM defined. (not synchronous)
A step of type activity defined and bound to the above task with binding done.. (what values should I pass to record the above needed details.)
In other words, how can I record the status in my custom table ?
thnks

Hi
I think its a background step. If yes, then make it foreground and debug and see what is the problem. Also check for short dumps and turn on the event trace and see the terminating event is getting triggered.

Workflow in Project server 2013 online not going particular stage after Approval

Hi All,
i have created workflow using sharepoint designer 2013 for project server 2013 online. and i have also set the approver after the first stage. when i create a project using this workflow, project is created successfully and the approval task also go for
a approval to specific user. and i have set the property that after approval it has to go on specific stage. but the problem is when user approve the task it shows approved but my stage in workflow is remain same. it is not going to any stage.
i don't know why this type of problem is occur.
FYI, i have created same workflow for Project server 2013 on premise(Which is installed in my server) and
it is working fine but when i want to deploy this workflow in
project server 2013 online its giving error.
so please help me to solve this type of issue.
Thanks

I am also experiencing issues with this. After the approval task is completed, the Workflow gets cancelled with the following message
RequestorId: 60d96368-4cb4-b059-8086-604972a92e60. Details: System.Collections.Generic.KeyNotFoundException: The given key was not present in the dictionary. at Microsoft.Activities.Hosting.Runtime.Subroutine.SubroutineChild.Execute(CodeActivityContext context)
at System.Activities.CodeActivity.InternalExecute(ActivityInstance instance, ActivityExecutor executor, BookmarkManager bookmarkManager) at System.Activities.Runtime.ActivityExecutor.ExecuteActivityWorkItem.ExecuteBody(ActivityExecutor executor, BookmarkManager
bookmarkManager, Location resultLocation)
All other desired workflow actions work as expected. Emails are sent, project is moved from stage to stage, however as soon as the workflow approval task is completed, either Approved or Rejected, the Internal Status is changed to Canceled and the
workflow fails.
What is interesting is when the Approval task is completed, the approver will receive an email notification that the task was CANCELLED or DELETED....
not COMPLETED, which is what would be expected.
Has anyone seen this - any potential resolution?

Workflow Steps send automatic emails, but this is not required..??

Hello,
   we have a strange problem we got recently with our workflows steps we are using.
   The Workflow Steps and Workitems works all just fine, the Issue is that some times the trigerred Workflow Steps automaticly send an an external email to the User outlook with the Wokitem Text & Description, i dont remember that i have activated any thing to send email in the Workflow steps we are using...Please help and advice why this emails is sent out and how we can deactivate it.
We are using the standard SAP Performance Management Workflows, Example WF-Step: TS12300110.
Thanks and Kind Regards,
Nazih

Again, i would like to clarify some thing here:
1. The Workflow Tasks we are using in out Process are working just fine.
TS12300110
TS12300111
TS12300115
TS12300112
TS12300096
2. In this SAP Workflow Tasks, there is no step which send an email to the WF-User.
3. To send an Email to user we can use the Reports RSWUWFML mor RSWUWFML2 as you mentioned, i know this well and yes they are planned in the System with a Variant, but which does not include our Workflow Tasks in it. and also the Report RSWUWFML is planned to run once a day in the evening, but we are getting the Emails directly after triggerring the WF-Tasks...strange?
4. I have checked the Tcode SWE2 and found one entry to the WF we are using:
BOR-Objekttyp     APPR_DOC     INFO_APPRAISER_CHANGE_APPROVE     WS12300115
If i deactivate here i will shut down the Workflow ..right?
Thanks & Regards,
Nazih

Workflow not going to next activity

Hi Experts,
It seems like my Workflow is going into the self loop, i.e instead of proceeding to the next level it is calling first activity againa and adding same approvers.
The systems behaviour is as below
1. Level 1 - Prescript could add approvers successfully
2. Level 1 Approvers received email to approve
3. Level 1 Approver approves the request
4 Workflow is again adding Level 1 approvers again and send emails to the same set of level 1 approvers.
After looking at the logs, it is clear that, the flow is not going to the 'pre-script' of level 2.
Any idea?
Cheers
Yogesh

Thanks Baski,
Yes, It was the xpdl issue. What I tried to do is, I opened the XPDL created in the together 1.1 version in the together 4.1 version. And tried to recttify some errors.
After rectifying errors, the XPDL was looking ok in the viewer,but it seems it had some missing elements.
Somehow I could manage to get the together 1.1 version and created the XPDL again and it stared working fine.
Thanks

Emails not going when workflow auto triggers

Hi
I have a SPD workflow which contains send email action . When I run from the list item >> Workflows >> Start Workflow ...it is working and sending email without any issues . When I try to run the same workflow using power shell script , workflow
is able to run fine.... but email is not going and logging error message as below . Please help
The e-mail message cannot be sent. Make sure the outgoing e-mail settings for the server are configured correctly.
Srini

Hi Shahukaru,
Is "Sending email" action configured to send mail to a user filed(e.g. item Creator, or a custom user or group type column value)?
Would you mind to share the PowerShell code you used to trigger the workflow for reproducing the issue?
Have you tried to run PowerShell code with another account？
Is there any related useful ULS for helping toubleshoot the issue?
Thanks

Workflow for BO BUS1001006 not retreiving plantu2666

Hi Experts,
I have activated a workflow for material creation using BO BUS1001006 .
It works fine , but the problem is it does not give me the plant details.
My requirement is that i have to send the plant of the material created /changed.
hope you offer quick solutions.

Edited by: Mike Pokraka on Jan 28, 2009 7:33 AM

Hi Martina,
If you have done that then you are almost on the verge of completion!
Follow this binding procedure between the task container and the method container and get the results.
In the BO method, add an output parameter that would store the plant detail.
Now create a data element in the method code of the same type as plant detail type.
Then use swc_set_element to store the value of the plant detail in the output parameter.
In the workflow task, create an output parameter of the same type as the BO method output parameter.
In the binding between the task container and the method container fetch the value of plant details from method container to task container element.
Now pass this parameter to the workflow container and use in the send mail step in the mail text.
Make sure to save and generate the BO after doing all the changes.

Saumya

Decision step workitem is not created

Hi Friends,
I have created one simple custom workflow , it contains two steps
Decision and maill step , once decision step is executed mail should have to go.
In decision step , user1 is used and in mail step user2 is used. I am exeuting the workflow from user1 Now it is working fine.
But the problem is No decision step workitem is created in user2. In the case , in decision step, user2 is used and in mail step user2 is used. I am exeuting the workflow from user1
Please give suggestion.
Regards ,
Krishnan R.

Hi,
The possibilities might be,
1. Check in the decision step that what type recipient type u selected.. If WFINITIATOR is choosen then in this case all the time the workitem...will jst go to the initiator who ever tryies to execute the workflow.
2. If you are using user then just make sure that the user you are using is a dialog user. you can check this in su01 txn.
3. If you are using expression in the step then make sure that you concatenate US to the user name you are trying to user in your case it should be 'USUSER2'.
4. Also makse sure that the in SWU3 the task generalization is customized with respect to decision task.
5. Also make sure that the user has right authorizations to receive the workitem.. Authorizations issue can also be one of the factors.
By the way if the workitem is not going to user2 then to whom it is actually sent... check in the wf log from swi1 txn.

Pavan
