Workflow tasks in derived roles

Hello,
I am involved in a EHS Product Compliance project that uses workflow.
In PFCG I assign a standard workflow task to a role under the workflow tab. If I go to tcode PFTC, type in the workflow task number then navigate to: Additional Data->Agent assignment->Display, the user account assigned to the role is listed and clicking the Overall View button I see the role assignment.
The problem is when I derive the role. In this case the tasks show up under the workflow tab, but the derived role is not listed under PFCT and this role does not allow my end user to process workflows.
Are there any known limitations using workflows in derived roles?

Hello Savitha,
What you proposed will work, but that defeats the who purpose of deriving roles. I want to add the workflow tasks to the base role and then have my 30 derived roles updated automatically.

Role Assignment to Workflow Tasks

Hi Experts,
Any hints on below requirement please :
Details:
1. For a role in transaction PFCG, I don't see the Workflow tab
2. For the same role in transaction SUIM, I can see the Workflow tab and the tasks assigned.
3. Now, I have a list of workflow tasks and I need to assign Role X, Role Y to all of them
What is the correct and best way out to do this
- Role-Task Assignment ::: Is it enough if I add all the workflow tasks in SUIM transaction(workflow tab) for both roles X,Y
or
- Task-Role Assignment ::: Can I assign both Roles X,Y in pftc transaction for each of the workflow tasks
or
- Both need to be done
Thanks in advance ...

Hi Ali,
Answers for your questions:
1. Transfer Missing Elements: YES
With this step, new elements will create in the task container based on the method container elements and creates the binding b/w them. It is better to choose YES and after that, if you dont require the binding, you can delete it for respective elements.
2. YES, we need to follow the same procedure.
3. Basically production system is having the mandatory configurations like RFC destinations and Classify tasks are general, probably no other activities are required.
4. For this, I am also waiting for other folks reply.

Workflow 2013 Breaking Role Inheritance On Workflow Task list

When breaking role inheritance on the out of the box Workflow Task List (2013), a custom workflow is suspended when assigning a task
(System.Collections.Generic.KeyNotFoundException: The given key was not present in the dictionary. ).
As soon as task list is inheriting permissions again, the workflow is able to assign tasks. (Similar issue: http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/8c60da76-8299-436c-8528-802fa5a594c3/2013-workflow-with-unique-permissions-on-task-list-ends-up-suspended).
I have not found a solution to this issue so far.

Same problem. Any solution found?

MSS Approval Report Links to Busines Workflow Task in UWL

Hello All,
I have a scenario below that I'm hoping you can help.
I copied the standard business workflow task "TS31000007: CATS Approval by Supervisor" to create our own task (general task) and link the 'CatManagerApprove' application and 'sap.com/msscatapproval' package to this task in the Workflow Visualization Configuration.
We then assigned this new task to the time data entry profile for the portal. Once, employee released the working time, the task is created and send to the Universal Worklist.
The manager can then access the UWL and open this approve time workflow task. This task is open to the MSS Approval Report (similar to what appear under the MSS > Tasks > Approve Time by Manager).
However, I have copied the Approve Time by Manager to our own and changed some of the order of the column and header text and assigned to the MSS role.
I would like to have this CATS approval task open to the same approval report view/layout as in the MSS Approval Report.
I've tried to change the layout (column order) through portal contents of the standard MSS Approval Report because I thought it was reading from there, but it's not.
Does anyone know how this can be done or where to point to the MSS Approval Report on the portal.
Any help would be appreciated!

Hi Karri,
We were able to use the launch iview task to launch our specific iview but I cannot seem to get it to recognize the workitem. In other words, when I click on the task in the UWL, my approve working time iview appears but it does not have the data that is from the workflow task item. Attached is the XML code that I used:
<ItemType name="uwl.task.webflow.TS93000001.SAP_ECC_Financials" connector="WebFlowConnector" defaultView="DefaultView" defaultAction="launchIView" executionMode="default">
 <ItemTypeCriteria systemId="SAP_ECC_Financials" externalType="TS93000001" connector="WebFlowConnector"/>
 <Actions>
 <Action name="launchIView" groupAction="" handler="IViewLauncher" returnToDetailViewAllowed="yes" launchInNewWindow="yes" launchNewWindowFeatures="resizable=yes,scrollbars=yes,status=yes,toolbar=no,menubar=no,location=no,directories=no">
 <Properties>
 <Property name="newWindowFeatures" value="resizable=yes,scrollbars=yes,status=yes,toolbar=no,menubar=no,location=no,directories=no"/>
 <Property name="page" value="pcd:portal_content/net.saccounty.SacCounty/net.saccounty.approve_ts_data"/>
 <Property name="openInNewWindow" value="yes"/>
 <Property name="display_order_priority" value="5"/>
 <Property name="workitemId" value="${item.externalId}"/>
 </Properties>
 <Descriptions default=""/>
 </Action>
 </Actions>
 </ItemType>
I thought the line <Property name="workitemId" value="${item.externalId}"/> would pick up the work item ID, but it is not working. Any suggestions?
TS93000001 is our task. approve_ts_data is our iview. It opens in a new window correctly and goes to the correct iview, just is not the actual task data.
Thank you,
Mark.

GRC BRM: Update Org Levels of derived roles

Dear GRC experts,
we are using the GRC BRM Master Derived concept and have around 100 Master roles in place.
I understand that the Org Levels of derived roles are only once set per Org Value Map during the initial (Mass) Derivation.
If we add a transation like VA01 to a Master role this also adds some new Org Levels to the Master role. Via "Propagate to Derived roles" the new transaction and object values are added into the Derived roles.
For the new Org Levels these are added also but the values are not the one from the Org Value Map of the Derived role but exactly the same values of the Master Role.
Using "Derived Role Org. values Update" does not help us here to update the corresponding Derived roles as no change to the Org Value Map has been done.
In case a Master role has 40 different Derived roles associated this would require to update manually any of the Derived roles for adjusting the new Org Levels.
Does anybody know how to automate this task?
Many thanks for your help!
Regards,
Markus

Hi Markus Richter
Once you maintain the imparting role and propagate to the derived role, the derived roles will inherit the new org values from the imparting. So that at least has the org values in the derived roles but not the correct values
Next up is to try to use the Mass Maintain Roles to update the derived roles with correct values from the org map (ensure org maps were updated first) mentioned in post
Mass Child role Org value update in GRC 10
Does this work for you as an approach?

Authorisation required to display Workflow Tasks in PFCG

Hi Gurus,
When using PFCG I have a strange difference between a user with SAP_ALL authorisatios and a user without SAP_ALL.
Using the SAP_ALL user, when I display a role it shows the Tasks under the Workflow tab.
Using the user without SAP_ALL, it still displays the Workflow tab but the Tasks are not displayed.
I have come to the conclusion that this must be authorisation related, so does anyone know what authorisations allow users to display the Workflow Tasks in PFCG?
All help greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Matt

Workflow task showing in sap inbox but not executable by some users

Hello Experts,
We have a workflow task that correctly show in the user inbox but is not executable by some users, we have two users with the same roles, and one is unable to execute the task when it is workflowed into his/her inbox. we have checked if this is an authorization issue and found nothing.
We debugged through program SAPLRHW1 under include LRHW1F02 subroutine READ_ORG_BUFFER, it imports TASK_INFO_BUFFER from the shared memory(see code below) and come back with a number of tasks that the system user can execute. We have task TS&&&&&&&& as a general task but some of the users cannot execute it.
Please advise of what could be the cause of this and the possible solution.
using shared memory
        IMPORT CREATION_DATE
               CREATION_TIME
               ORG_INFO_BUFFER
               TASK_INFO_BUFFER
                 FROM SHARED BUFFER INDX(RH) ID ACT_KEY.

Hi All,
I had experienced this type of problem as well, just to share it could be that the Identity of the Portal user misses a role which can be solved by any user assigning the identity in their identity management or it could also be the connection status of the UWL to the backend, there should be at least two connection statuses for workflow items to get into the UWL I could not recall it but I would post it here once I have the access to our system again.
Cheers,

Issue with Creating CATT Script for Generating Derived Roles

Hi Experts,
I am desperately trying to find the solution on how I create a CATT Script to generate derived roles from few 100 master roles.
I posted a thread on Security (Can I do a 'mass generation' of dervied roles?) .. however, since it turns out to be a SCAT issue, I thought I'll ask someone from this forum too.
Extract from the other thread is as follows :
"I cannot get the script to automate the generation of derived roles.
when Entering parameters for a test case, I can only see the Initial PFCG Screen. Display/Change Authorization screen doesn't seem to get recorded / logged in the test screen.
I.e : All screens with program SAPLPRGN_TREE is recorded, however all screens with program SAPMSSY0 is not.
I hope it makes sense.. Any suggestions on how I can automate the generation of derived roles tasks?
Thanks.

Hi,
I have the same problem just now.

Workflow task list is missing or damaged. SharePoint 2010

SharePOint 2010 Enterprise
Customer created workflows for the annual review of our QPC Emergency Plan.
The document library shows that there is a EP_Review workflow “In Progress” for each section.   However if you click into the “In Progress” link to see the actual progress of the workflow it shows no Visio diagram, it’s just a blank white
space (not even an error message) and under the Tasks section it gives the message:
"The workflow task list is missing or damaged. Please contact your administrator for more information"
I looked in the Task List and there are no tasks showing, which normally does show when we kick off a workflow.
I ran a report on the EP_Review workflow for Cancellations and Error messages and the system comes back with the following error message: "Report contains no Data"

Hi mikeatquestar,
it seems you may need to check if should the task able to create at your environement,
you may try this at your development environment first:
Saved a task list as a template from a working site collection and moved the template to the problem site collection. Used this template to create a new list, and associated this list to the Workflows task list.

Workflow Tasks NOT expiring!

Hi guys,
I've bumped lately with an issue building a workflow on SP2010, as you mostly already have figured out from the title, workflow tasks are NOT expiring.
I've tried to take this on my own, but no more as I have to move on. Here's the details;
-a custom workflow (attached to a custom list) that has start custom task as its first action.
-due date for custom task is set in "select task process participants", Due Date for Task Process. and is set to run parallel (I have one participant for the task).
-the custom task have only the "behavior of a single task" configured, all task workflow steps are there.
When a Task is Pending fires well, and it ends with Pause for 2 minutes > then send email. then task due date reaches but
When a Task Expires never kicks! tasks simply stays at status "Not Started"
when I check the workflow history, it shows the last log "pausing completed", but I suspect the main issue is with the task processor, task isn't expiring and im not sure where to look.
timer job service is working, I've checked timer jobs (workflow auto cleanup, workflow failover and bulk workflow task processing) and they're all running in timely fashion now.
any thoughts?
thanks

How to reassign a workflow task in SharePoint 2013?

How can you reassign a workflow task in SharePoint 2013 (online)? I found some discussions online about how to do this, but I don't see this option using SP2013. Note the "Reassignment" checkbox from this screenshot (which I think is from 2010).

Here is the link

How to set a custom column in a workflow task.

Hello,
I'm looking for some assistance a bit with how to set a custom column in a Workflow Task.
I have a List Workflow that starts when an item is created in a list. The workflow, platform type SharePoint 2013, starts a new task, Task1, with Content Type 1. This Content Type has a custom column called Age. Once the Task1 is completed a new task, Task2,
with Content Type 2, starts and has the same column Age, as Task1.
How can I populate the Age column in Task2 with the content of the Age column in Task1?
Since I start the task by running "Assign a task to ..." Action I was thinking to copy the Age column from the Task1 to the list item that started Task1, which has a column Age as well, and then in Task2 to start another workflow - which is associated
with the Content Type 2, that would try to read the Age column from the list item that started Task2, which was set once Task1 was competed - I know it's complex but this is how I was thinking.
The problem with this approach is that I can't get a reference to the list item that started Task2 to read the Age from the list item.
Is there a better approach? I use SharePoint Designer 2013 to design all this.
Any assistance is appreciated.
Thank you.

Hello Sebastian,
you can get the Age column from Task 1 and then update the Task 2 Age column with that value. I am not sure why you want to run another workflow on Task 2.
You can perform below steps to set Age column from Task 1 to Task 2.
1. Create Task 1 using Assign a task , wait till the task is completed.
2. Get the Age column value based on Task 1 once the task is completed.
3.Create Task 2 using Assign a task , uncheck wait till the task is completed option.
4. Update the Task 2 with Age column in Task1.
5. Use Wait for the field to equal value , check for Task Status is completed or not.
>>The problem with this approach is that I can't get a reference to the list item that started Task2 to read the Age from the list item.
you can get the related item from task list item to get the main list item.
Other option is, Use Javascript and CSOM in task edit form to get the Age column from Task1 and prepoluate the Age value when Task2 is opened.
Hope this helps.

Error in transporting WF workflow task

Hello,
I face an error when moving WF workflow task from Dev to QA.
System is 4.0B.
The QA transport log shows (errors in bold):
Subsequent processing RH_ACTIVATE_PDOBJECT_AFTER_IMP for PDWS T started at 20:23:01
Time... 20:23:02 Run time... 00:00:01
Start activation of object WF 91000095 (client: 100) 202302
Error while activating
Time... 20:24:00 Run time... 00:00:58
Errors occurred during post-handling RH_ACTIVATE_PDOBJECT_AFTER_IMP for PDWS T
Post-handling RH_ACTIVATE_PDOBJECT_AFTER_IMP belongs to development class SP00
The errors affect the following R/3 components:
 BC-BMT-OM (Organizational Management)
In QA, the new version of the WF - created and activated in Dev - does not appear at all. I checked OSS Note 138411 - Collective note: PD Transports and OSS Note 88180 - Error during import postprocessing (Org.unit) but they didn`t help.
In Dev, the new version of the WF was saved and activated and manually inserted in a customizing request from tr. PFTC. The transport included object R3TR TDAT PDWS with entries for HRP, HRT and SWD_* tables, with records for the WF task.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks and regards,
Krisztian

Hi Ravi,
WS and TS tasks are recorded in changes, only the WFs and Ts are not. This is because some Personal Development objects are not to be transported, hence automatic transport connection for these is deactivated in IMG. Since WFs and Ts are considered as PD objects, the automatic transport is deactivated for them as well. For WFs and Ts manual transport is available in PFTC.
This is unfortunate but this is how it`s set.
On the other hand, version management is not something that works too well for workflows anyway (at least in 4.0B). You can`t see the differences in two separate versions like you would in a program. And in WFs and Ts you are able to generate versions just like for WSs and TSs for version management. So from my point of view manually transporting WFs and Ts are not the issue. But I may be wrong...
Nevertheless I activated automatic transport connection and did a change in Dev like that. The transport created was moved to Acc, but still same problem...
So I`m running out of clues.. maybe I just overlooked something...
Thanks
Krisz

SharePoint 2013 workflow task gets canceled

Just wanted to share my solution to a problem that I was having when creating a SharePoint 2013 Workflow that includes creating a task and assigning it to a group of people. After publishing the workflow and initiating it you get:
Retrying last request. Next attempt scheduled in less than one minute.
Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.ResourceNotFoundException: Cannot find resource for the request sp.utilities.utility.ExpandGroupsToPrincipals
An unhandled exception occurred during the execution of the workflow instance.

I was not able to find any answer anywhere, so my solution was:
1. Simply upgrade SharePoint Server 2013 to the latest version which in turn updates Microsoft.Activities.Proxy.dll
2. Clear the SharePoint Designer cache
  Workflow Error - Sharepoint Designer cannot display the item
