Workflow - Syndicate step

Hi All,
I have created an workflow as
Start->Process->Match->approve>assign->syndicate--->stop
Trigger Action :record Import.
Given the port details in the syndicate step.
I have created remote system type Inbound/Outbound  ,Port Outbound and processing type as manual .
I have given the workflow name in the import manager checkout/workflow.
In Syndicator map details maintained in the Port .
Everything looks fine.
But i am unable to get the syndicated file in Ready Folder  what might be the problem ?

Hello Priya,
Please check that have you installed the Syndication server?
If not then install the syndication server first and start the service for the syndication server.
follow path: C:\Program Files\SAP MDM 5.5\Syndication Server for the MDSS.ini file
Assuming you have installed syndication server in C; drive.
If you have any pwd for the Admin user then goto the MDSS.ini file of syndication server> open it> set the pwd corresponding to your repository.
I hope this will clear your doubt and help you.
TNR,
Saurabh...

  • Auto execution of Syndicate Step in Workflow

    Hello Experts,
    Is there a way to auto execute the Syndicate step in Workflow?
    Workflow is as follows:
    Start ---> Branch ---> Process Success ---> Assignments ---> Syndicate ---> Notify ---> Stop
    In this case, workflow is launched immediately, validations and assignments are successful. Control is passed back to the user and we have to manually select Next Step option by right clicking the workflow.
    After Syndication, Stop is again a manual process.
    Please let me know if there is a way to automate the workflow for Success branch.
    Thanks in advance.
    Vinay

    Hi Vinay,
    Start ---> Branch ---> Process Success ---> Assignments ---> Syndicate ---> Notify ---> Stop
    As per your Workflow stated above:
    - The workflow will automatically trigger if the triggger action is either Record Import or Records Add.For Manual you will have to trigger the workflow manually.
    - For this you will have to set the workflow as Active and Auto Launch as Immediate.
    - Out of the above mentioned steps the Start, Branch,Assignments,Notify and Stop will not require human intervention  to move the task to the next step.
    - Once your workflow is triggered based on the validation is the branch step the records will move to the Process user else default.
    - The process user will have to complete his task and on clicking Next step it will run the Assignments automatically.
    - On reaching the syndicate step the selected records will get syndicated provided the MDSS settings are correct and the Assignments have passed else it will come back to the previous step on failing the assignments
    - The  Notify step will run automatically .You will have to only click Stop for ending the workflow.
    Hope It Helped

  • Syndicate Step in workflow

    Hi All,
    Is syndication server required for syndicate step in workflow?
    I have doubt that syndicate step is for either manually syndicating or automatically syndicating.
    Please clarify.
    Thanks
    Narendra

    Hi,
    Syndication to other system having two types.
    Syndication manual & automatic syndication.
    Using the manual syndication we should follow the steps and we can save that as a MAP.
    we can use this map for further syndication.
    During automatic syndication we have to mention the receiver port which will receive the records.
    Regarding workflow , we can trigger the workflow manual as well as automatic.

  • Problem in Workflow matching step

    Hi,
    I am facing a problem in Workflow matching step. I have user kaushikb assigned to it.
    Execution Type: Any Single, Assignee Type: User and Execution Type: Any Single.
    Match Record Scope: Records vs Records, Strategy: MDM_NAME.
    This Strategy: MDM_NAME is based on 3 rules: MDM_NAME1, MDM_NAME2 and MDM_NAME3.
    MDM_NAME1 is done based on transformations MDM_NAME1[XFM], MDM_NAME2[XFM] and MDM_NAME3[XFM].
    Now my problem is even after matching and merging a large number of records it is not going to
    the next step. Do I need to match and merge all duplicate records? If the Matching process is rerun
    the score becomes less as the same records are compared again. After this the link assume gets activated and then clicking it activates the next step.
    Regards
    Kaushik Banerjee

    Hi Kaushik,
    Match step is an Automated step in the MDM workflow.On selecting this step you need to mention the strategy that needs to run on the records to match them.When you reach the Match step you need to Perform the step to run the mentioned Strategy .
    When you Perform the Match step it will display the Matching result provided you select the Matching mode in MDM data manager.
    You can merge or not merge the matched records Once your Matching is performed by the system, You can move your Workflow to the Next step which is Process.
    When you are selecting Any single as your execution type it means you have more tahn one user for executing this task but you want any single one of them to perform it.
    So whenever you have selected Any single as the excution type for any process .The user accepting to perfrom the task needs to Accept the task .
    So when User1 wants to perform the task he will have to select Accept and then proceed with the task.
    When the owner of the workflow is testing the entire workflow he needs to Assume the task as he is not the Assigned user but the Assumed one.
    So if you have build your workflows correctly and moving in step as explained you should be able to select the next step
    You can follow the below link to understand the process better:

  • Workflow start step performs Exclusive checkout

    We need to upload data to records that are in workflow and checked out by the workflow start step.  Unfortunately the workflow start step performs an Exclusive checkout of the record which means that the background MDM Impor Server user cannot automatically join the checkout, the user first needs to be invited to the checkout, which needs a manual step of modifying the join permissions of the checkout, which is not what we want to do.
    I have also noticed that when an existing record is checked out Exclusively the user's roles are pulled through into the permitted roles section of the join permission screen of the checkout.  When a new record is checked out Exclusively the user's roles are not pulled through to the permitted roles section of the join permission screen of the checkout.  This looks like a bug to me.
    We are using MDM 7.1 SP08.
    Please advise any workarounds to this problem.  I can think of a few, but none are very elegant, e.g.:
    1. Use API to invite import user to checkout before import is started (requires coding)
    2. Get the user that owns the workflow to manually invite the import user (not guaranteed to remember)
    3. Complete workflow and stat new wokflow without chekout before import is started.
    Any advice will be appreciated.

    Hi Johann,
    I got you point.
    Its not a bug in MDM these are the constraints in MDM :(.
    To understand more read section CHECKOUT AND WORKFLOW FAILURE CONDITIONS of the import manager refernce guide.
    http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nwmdm71/helpdata/en/4b/72b8e7a42301bae10000000a42189b/MDMImportManager71.pdf
    In our lanscape we too have a scenario where we are creating/ records in MDM leaving Material Number Blank (Record Add workflow).
    But once this record with balnk Material Number is syndicated to source system we stop this workflow.
    Now from source system through change pointer we get a file immediately with material Number and MDMID.
    which we process through MDIS and trigger another workflow(Record Import)
    I guess this matches with the third option you described to start and stop workflow and trigger import.

    hi Guprit,
    based on my experience you must trace why your workflow is wait.
    is it because the workflow is waiting for certain events ?
    or is it because of an error occured in the step 3 of the workflow ?
    if the worfklow is waiting for certain events, you can force it to continue with triggering the events that workflow wait ( transaction code SWUE )
    if an error occured in the step 3 of the workflow, you need to trace it what kind of error .... and for certain case after you fix the error you can continue the workflow by using tcode SWPR and restart the workflow after error.
    but unfortunatelly based on my experience, some times the workflow just stuck in the middle of the process and no error occured
    it this happens, ussually i re-triggered the workflow
    hopes it helps
    cheers

    I am experiencing problems with workflow->validate step in Hyperion FDM.
    I am not able to export unmapped dimension members to Excel.
    Earlier everything worked fine.
    But now all of a sudden it has become a serious problem.
    when I click Export to Excel,processing starts and it's never coming to an end.
    Every thing is getting stuck up.
    Could any one suggest solution to this as it is delaying my deliverable.

    Try opening excel first, then doing the export from FDM.

  • MDM workflow - syndication step

    Dear MDM experts
    I would like to ask you about help with workflow step - syndicate.
    I just make a workflow which seems to be working fine. There is only one step I do not understand why is not behaving as I expect it. That step is syndicate. I can see the status is "Received" but nothing happen. I cannot find file under syndication folder.
    Can you help me to explain why it is like that?

    Hi Rafal,
    There can be a couple of reasons for that:
    1. Syndication port should be manual.
    2. The record, which you are trying to syndicate, might not fit your map criteria. Connect to the port in syndicator and try to syndicate the same record and see if you are able to do so.
    3. At the time your WF is at syndication step, you are not connected to same port through syndicator.
    4. You do not have a descrption for syndication step in WF. (Although it may sound wierd, but it is required iin some MDM versions).
    5. Repository password saved in console/mdss.ini might not be correct.
    If everything seems fine, check the logs. This will tell you the actual problem.
    Best regards,

  • Process Controlled Workflow - 1-step approval for shopping cart approval

    Hi,
    I have configured a one-level approval for SC (Process Controlled Workflow):
    Object Type: BUS2121
    Additional 1 level under schema: 3C_SC_600_000 (the last level is the automatic approval)
    Level Type: Approval with completion
    Eval ID: 0EV_SC_SL1
    RR Name: RR_SPENDING_LIMIT_APPROVER
    RR Param: USTONY.Y (I hardcoded it using my user ID, for the moment)
    Task ID: 40007953 (I have checked, it's generalized as well)
    Decision Type: Item-based decision for entire document
    For PPOMA_BBP:
    Under my org unit (Position):
    Approval Limit: 1000
    Output Limit: 1000
    I didn't do any BADI implementations yet.
    During creation of SC by other user, before "Order" the SC, the approval preview can show correctly that the Processor is as indicated in the config.
    Once the SC is ordered, the whole step is gone and the event linkage becoming delinked (because there is error, and according to the config in SWEQADM).
    However, I cannot find the workitem (no workitem generated) and SLG1 does not give any clue whatsoever.
    I tried debugging method APPROVAL_LIMIT, and it seems fine as well.
    Please help, what did I do wrong here?
    Thanks,

    Hi Sahil,
    I even changed to first process level to:
    Level Type: Approval
    Eval ID: 0EV000
    RR Name: RR_MANAGER
    RR Param: (Blank)
    Task ID: 40007953 (I have checked, it's generalized as well)
    Decision Type: Decision for entire document
    Under PPOMA_BBP:
    I made myself as a head of the org unit with the role manager.
    The requester is "Exclude" the role manager.
    The agent can be determined now.
    But the workitem ID is still cannot be generated. It's always no workitem generated.
    Please everyone, any help?
    Thanks in advance,

  • How to use a servlet in a Workflow process step.

    Hi
    I need am upgrading existing code from cq 5.4 to CQ 5.5.
    The exsiting code uses a servlet with an injected @MailService reference to send emails. It is currently used as a process step service.
    However, with CQ 5.5 I see that I need to implement the WorkFlowProcess interface, to see this class listed as in the Process step drop down list.
    The issue I have is if I keep the class as a Servlet extension , it does not show up in the drop down list of the process step.
    Is there a way to update the code to list this servlet as a process step?
    Or is there a way to inject the MailService reference into a class which only implements the "WorkflowProcess" interface and is not a servlet ?
    advice appreciated.
    thanks
    Ven

    The implementation of WorkflowProcess is to be deployed as an OSGi service, so you can @Reference the MailService in that class.

  • Purchase Order Workflow - dialog step not receiving terminating event

    Hi,
    We have a scenario wherein based on the release groups and release strategies, different peope need to release the PO's.
    I have been able to develop the workflow for this successfully, but here is where I am facing an issue.
    After the PO has been created, based on the release group and strategy, it gets routed to the appropriate 1st approver. On their approval, the PO gets routed to the 2nd approver. Once the 2nd approver approves, the dialog step doesnt get completed and is still waiting for the terminating event. Event trace shows that the event is getting published, but there is no workitem to receive the terminating event. I am not sure why this is occuring for only 2nd approver onwards whereas for the 1st approver, the terminating event is received by the workitem.
    I am using start conditions for my workflow to ensure only 1 instance of the workflow is triggered for a rel groups and rel strategy and release code, else I am multiple instances each time an approver approves the PO. I am not sure if the start conditions are causing this issue with the terminating events not being received with the workitems.
    Any assistance is welcome.
    Thank you,
    Satish

    From the information provoided it seems you are using PO that is subjected to Release of PO for multiple Release Code and each Release Code Release is being done by one approver. If that is the case then I think the Terminating event should get caught. Please check whether the Terminating event that is getting triggered is specific to the Release Code or not.
    Thanks

  • ABAP OO class-based workflow, wait step

    Hello,
    I'm hoping someone is able to help me.  I've implemented a class which triggers a custom workflow through a custom event of the class.  At one point during the workflow I want to use a wait step that waits for another custom event to occur.  I've created my second event which I want to trigger from an ABAP ALV Grid report for users, that will allow them to select the specific workflows to trigger this event for.  My problem is, I am having trouble figuring out how to find the correct object instance of my class from within the ABAP program and trigger the event specifically for that instance, so that the workflow can continue and eventually complete.  I have implemented the IF_WORKFLOW interface and up to this point the workflow is functioning correctly.
    Thanks,
    Leslie

    Hello,
    Sorry, not sure where my brain was. Actually I do know: at two clients with projects going live this month, so apologies for a rushed and inaccurate response. It's CL_SWF_EVT_EVENT.
    Jocelyn's blog I referred to includes a code sample using the same class on how to raise an event with an object key.
    Regarding your second question: No you don't need to do any binding. Just use an instance of your object and it will wait for an event with the same key. The WF part is very straightforward and works exactly like BOR, it's just raising event that can't be done with the WAPI.
    Cheers,
    Mike

  • Own workflow process step (java) not listed in the generic Process step component

    Based on the description Extending Workflow Funtionality I have used this sample to create a bundle with the CRXDE Development Environment. Almost just copying the code from the page (had to make some adjustments to correct program errors in this sample) an then build bundle. According to Note 2 this program should be seen in the list supplied by Process step Component when editing a workflow. But it is not there.
    @Component
    @Service
    public class MyWorkflowProcess implements WorkflowProcess {
        @Property(value = "An example workflow process implementation.")
        static final String DESCRIPTION = Constants.SERVICE_DESCRIPTION;
        @Property(value = "Adobe")
        static final String VENDOR = Constants.SERVICE_VENDOR;
        @Property(value = "My Sample Workflow Process")
        static final String LABEL="process.label";
    What do I need to do else?
    Thanks,
    Ulrich

    Ulrich,
    CRXDE does not support the Java annotations which are listed in the documentations. When you want to leverage CRXDE (which is for development ... discouraged), you need to migrate to JavaDoc style annotations.
    For documentation how you can setup a development workflow based on a Java IDE and maven please see [0].

  • Use of Execution Type in Workflow process step.

    Hi Kiran,
    The Execution Type is relevant for the process step of the workflow.
    MDM workflow steps can be assigned either to one or more users or to one or more roles, as follows:
    u2022 Users. User-based assignments allow you to explicitly specify which user or users should be responsible for performing the step.
    u2022 Roles. Role-based assignments allow you to specify roles rather than users, with the actual users determined by MDM at runtime.
    The Execution Type defines the relation between these assigned users/ roles if there are more than one:
    1. All Concurrent- All assignees must perform the step. Each assignee can do so at the same time.
    2. All Sequential Random- All assignees must perform the step. Each assignee can do so one at a time in any order.
    3. All Sequential Ordered-  All assignees must perform the step. Each assignee can do so one at a time in the order listed in the step.
    1. Any Single- Any single assignee can perform the step. The step can be pushed to or pulled by any assignee.
    You can also find this documented in the Data Manager Reference Guide under MDM Workflows-> Execution Type (page 292)
    Regards,
    Hedda Cohen.
