Workflow to start Folder Synchronizer

Hi
I would like to build a work flow to start FolderSynchronizer (syncing software) in one of two ways:
1 by executing FS every time Mobileme syncs (better) - i suppose this is a plug in to Mobile me?
or
2 by executing FS every given period of time.
Helps welcome.

not possible.

possible but nothing to do with automator. you need to schedule a repeating task to run FS using either launchd (use Lingon) or cron (use Cronnix). also, I've never used Folder Synchonizer but I would be hugely surprised if it doesn't a have a built in scheduling mechanism. Any syncing software should have it. I'm sure this one does too.
Helps welcome.

Start workflow from DAM-folder

Hi,
is it possible to declare a workflow model so that it is possible to start it by selecting the folder in the DAM rather than the DamAssets?
The case is that we would like to add properties to all assets in the selected folder, a variant of the Bulk Edit.

We have a component that does this kind of things today, but would like to push the functionality to a workflow that is startable from the DAM or WCM. The usecase is this (using Geometrixx):
Open the DAM
Browse to the Geometrixx-folder (http://localhost:4502/damadmin#/content/dam/geometrixx)
Right-click on "Banners"
Select "Workflow" and then Select what workflow to start.
It is at step 4 I get stuck. There I can't get the "Workflow" to be enabled.
Another variant is if we can set the tag on the folder an have it inherited by all sub-assets?

Can't find workflow panels/actions folder in PSE 9

Hello.
I'm tring to install an action (APE-High-Impact.atn; MarkGaler.com) which is looking for a workflow panels/actions folder. I don't find any such. Am using PSE 9, Win 7.
Got any suggestions please and thanks in advance,

Ok those are the program files, not the program data.
Try pasting or typing this path into the search box at the bottom of the start menu and then hit the enter key.
C:\ProgramData\Adobe\Photoshop Elements\9.0\Locale\en_us\Workflow Panels
right click inside the search box and choose paste:
then this should appear and then press the Enter button on the keyboard:
then a folder view similar to this should open:

SharePoint Online workflow not starting

Hi All,
I am an administrator for a company and I have been asked to create a workflow for them.
I created 2 workflows using SharePoint designer 2013. The 2010 workflow works as expected.
I created the 2013 workflow because I can use loops. However the 2013 workflow doesn't automatically start when an item is created. but works if I start it manually. I have checked and made sure that the check box is ticked for the workflow to start automatically.
The workflows go like this.
Step: Query Type
If Current Item:Query_Type equals Phone
  Set Status to Opportunity
Else
If Current Item:Query_Type equals Email
  Email Current Item:Sales_Rep2
  Pause for 0 days, 0 hours, 15 minutes
  If Current Item:Follow_Up equals No
   Email Current Item:Sales_Rep2
Step: Rental or Not
If Current Item:Rental equals Yes
  Email Current Item:Sales_Rep2
  Pause for 0 days, 1 hours, 0 minutes
  If Current Item:Quote_Sent equals No
   Email Current Item:Sales_Rep2
  Else
  If Current Item:Rental equals No
   Email Current Item:Sales_Rep2
   Pause until Current Item:Date to Send Quote
   Email Current Item:Sales_Rep2
And the 2013 one goes like this
Stage:Follow Up
Loop: Email to manager
  The contents of this loop will run repeatedly while: Current Item:Follow_Up equals No
   Pause for 0 days, 1 hours, 0 minutes
   If Current Item:Follow_Up equals No
    Email Current Item:Manager
If Current Item:Follow_Up equals Yes
  Set Status to Opportunity
Transition to stage
Go to Rental or Not
Stage:Rental or Not
Loop: Escalation
  The contents of this loop will run repeatedly while: Current Item:Quote_Sent equals No
   Pause for 2 days, 0 hours, 0 minutes
   If Current Item:Quote_Sent equals No
    Email Current Item:Manager
Loop: Escalation
  The contents of this loop will run repeatedly while: Current Item:Quote_Sent equals No
   Pause for 7 days, 0 hours, 0 minutes
   If Current Item:Quote_Sent equals No
   and Current Item:Date to Send Quote is greater than Current Item:Date to Send Quote
    Email Current Item:Manager
Transition to stage
Go to End of Workflow
If this makes sense? If not can anybody give me advice on how to get this working the way it is expected to work?

Hi,
From your description, After you modified the workflow and added "App Step" to it and "Pause" actions apart from few other modifications, you got the issue that
SharePoint 2013 Workflow not starting when a new item is crated.
Whether you got the issue Before you modified the workflow.
I have done a test in my SharePoint 2013 and it works fine.
I suggest you update SharePoint to the latest CU.
Here is an blog similar with your issue, you can use as a reference:

Document Library - Workflow not starting on copied Word Document

HELLO EVERYBODY!
Right, got a weird issue on a Document Library, where if the Document Library already contains a Word Document with a Title of 'Document 1' and i download the document, make a change and re-upload it. The document uploads as a new separate file but it retains
the same 'Document 1' title.
My problem is that for some reason SharePoint isn't seeing this newly uploaded document and therefore it is not running the workflow on it?
This really confuses me, as it will work with new documents, but it will not work if you download a Word document, change it and re-upload the document as a new version, the workflow will not start.
Any ideas are welcome.
Thanks,
Tucker

Hi Tucker,
According to your description, my understanding is that the workflow which was set to start when an item is created cannot start when uploading a copy of a document existing in the library.
I tested the same scenario per your post, and the workflow can start automatically.
As the workflow can start automatically when uploading a new document, it is not the issue with the workflow.
I recommend to verify the things below:
Did you upload the copy with a new name as a separate file or as a new version to the existing document to the library?
Test with a new library and a new document to narrow the issue scope.
Best regards.
Thanks

Allow user to apply custom property or Workflow to DAM folder

Hi,
Is it possible to allow an author user the ability to set a custom property (or workflow) to a folder in the DAM?
i.e. can I create a custom property "Approved" against a DAM folder and expose it via the UI (or update it via a workflow)
I want to apply to an entire folder (not single or multiple assets)
Thanks!

yes it is possible to add custom property to dam and workflow. To add custom property to dam asset you have to override "/libs/dam/components/asseteditor" form page in your application.
also you can refer - http://dev.day.com/docs/en/cq/current/dam/customizing_and_extendingcq5dam.html
To add custom property in workflow you have to create custom workflow component using sling resource super type as "cq/workflow/components/model/process" and add custom property in dialog. you can take example of existing workflow under /libs/wcm/workflow area.
also you can refer - http://dev.day.com/docs/en/cq/current/workflows/wf-extending.html

Workflow not starting and RFC status is 'User Switch Is Not Possible'

Hi All,
I am using ABAP classes to raise an event that triggers the workflow.
When I am executing the workflow from SWUS or raising event from SWUE or SE24, the workflow is starting fine.
But when I am raising the event from a Webdynpro application, the same event is raised, but the workflow is not getting triggerred.
I could see a record in SWEL, but the workitem is not created.
In SWEL, it is showing the RFC status as 'User Switch Is Not Possible'.
When I go to SM58, I am able to re-execute the failed transaction and this time the workflow is getting triggered.
The same workflow is working fine in D env. but not in T env.
The event linkages are all same and I also used the COMMIT WORK statement after raising the event.
Another problem is the RFC status is sometimes set to SYSFAIL and sometimes as 'System overloaded, repeat immediately by batch' other than 'User Switch Is Not Possible'.
Please help.
Thanks,
Cay.

Hi,
call function module AUTHORITY_CHECK_RFC explicitly before a remote call to be able to treat a possible exception. If the authorization exists, the function module does not return an explicit result but, like all successfully executed function modules, sets sy-subrc to 0. If sy-subrc is not equal to zero then it could be the problem with the user authorization.
I also think it could alos possible because of your Host name check whether any changes are done to host name.

Salve a tutti, sto cercando da stamattina di effettuare il Backup del mio IPhone da 32 gigabyte. Quando avvio la sincronizzazione e il Backup mi esce scritto '' iTunes non ha potuto eseguire il backup di Iphone perche si è verificato un errore. Ho provato su un altro iphone (4) e tutto funziona correttamente. Non posso ripristinare il dispositivo perchè ho troppi dati importanti sopra. Vi prego aiutatemi.

Ok I tried to delete the backup by using your location via preferences, but I did not find any file, maybe because I've already deleted following the path to the disk. I repeat that I have 2 devices and the problem only occurs on one

Dynamic Workflow - Solution Starter

Hello all,
I am currently working with the Workflow Solution Starter. It is really helpful and meets majority of our client's requirements, but there is another small request which I am finding difficult to modify in the current DM Workflow code...
It is the 'Rejected' outcome. If a review stage has been rejected, the client wants to show that as a 'Not Approved' Stage...similar to the Branching Workflow out of the box. I was thinking if there is anyway we can just add a 'Not Approved Stage' in the
Dynamic Workflow code. I tried doing that, but it doesn't seem to move to the 'Not Approved' Stage. This can be a single 'Not Approved' stage for all the checkpoints of the project workflow and can sit either right at the end or at the very beginning so
Stage Order is not an issue, but it may be an issue for the code during workflow processing.
Is there anyone out there that has been able to achieve this?
Thank you very much in advance.
Regards,
SJ

Do you have solution starter with you for projectserver 2010, if yes can you share the same at [email protected]

Triggering of workflow by start transaction

hi all,
how can i trigger my workflow by start transaction method??
advance thanks
regards
SANA

<u><b>Transactions for Workflow Start</b></u> :
Use
The workflow system can generate a form transaction for workflows that have a structure as an import parameter. Data can be entered in the fields of the structure with the form transaction and the workflow is then started.
You can edit this transaction at a later date using the ABAP Workbench, for example to change the names of input fields or adapt the layout.
If you select a workflow in manual workflow start for which a form transaction is defined, this form transaction is executed. The workflow system responds in the same way if a start transaction had been created for the workflow in an earlier release. For more information, see Starting Workflows Manually.
Features
The workflow system generates a form transaction for a workflow with a structure as an import parameter to start this workflow. The input fields are derived from the fields of the import structure of the workflow container.
The workflow system generates the name of the transaction automatically from the ID of the workflow. The workflow system also generates the name of the function group automatically if you do not specify anything on the Function group tab page.
Activities
You generate a form transaction in the basic data of the workflow in the Workflow Builder. To do this, select on the Start forms tab page in the version-dependent basic data. You can also process existing start forms from here. For more information, see Version-Dependent Basic Data of a Workflow.
If a start transaction was created for the workflow in an earlier release, you can also edit this in the version dependent basic data on the Start form tab page.
You can use the Screen Painter functions to revise the transaction generated. For more information, see Screen Painter.
If you want to change the user interface status of the transaction generated, you must define a separate user interface status. You can use the user interface status DYNPRO as a model.
If useful.......reward points...

Workflow 2013 start another workflow 2013

In an existing workflow 2013, I need to lower the permission levels of a user so that they can not modify a custom listed after it as been submitted. Thus I am thinking of having he first workflow 2013 start another workflow 2013 before the permission level
of the custom list item is lower.
Thus can you tell me how to do the following:
1. Have a workflow 2013 start another workflow 2013.
2. After the first workflow 2013 is started, have the first workflow not expect the 2nd workflow to run any results. The first workflow will basically end right after it lower the permission levels of the user that submitted the custom list to workflow 2013.

Criteria-Workflow to start BPEL-Process

Hi,
I'm currently building a proof of concept for a wokflow-implementation using WCC and Oracle SOA/BPM-Suite. Therefore I've activated the BpelIntegration component of WCC and set it up as described in http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E21764_01/doc.1111/e16759/c03_config_ucm_bpel002.htm.
However I'm a bit confused of the meaning of the users I assign to the criteria-workflow (according to http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E21764_01/doc.1111/e16759/c04_config_cs001.htm).
I've assigned an "Additional Exit Condition" with the rule "wfGet("conversationId") and obIsInstanceClosed("process_3", wfGet("conversationId"))".
As far as I understand this, I must at least assign one user. If I then choose to say at least 0 (Zero!) approvers, I've got the following behavior: The BPEL-Process is started, however the the WCC-Workflow ends immediately. There is no waiting for my additional exit-condition.
If I choose 1 approver, the workflow waits for both the BPEL-Instance to get closed and the assigned user to approve.
Is there an easy way to wait for the BPEL-Instance to close but not for the user to manually approve? I thought of doing the approve programmatically using WCC-Webservices from my BpelProcess, however this is not really what I would like to do. The reason I'm asking for this is that this would allow it to do the more document-centric parts of the WF in the Criteria Workflow while doing the approval itself completely in BPEL.
Any best practices or hints regarding this? Or is there some additional documentation or samples? The only doc I found is the "Oracle® Fusion Middleware BPEL Component Guide for Content Server" that doesn't cover much details.
Regards,
Johannes

Hi Johannes,
I understand your point. To clarify I will guide you a bit through history.
At Stellent times, prior to acquisition, native workflows (criteria and basic) were the only OOTB mechanism to implement workflows. Note that unlike BPEL and now even BPM workflows, native workflows have also impact on items behavior in the system - the item has a special status (REVIEW, not DONE or RELEASED), is not searchable, etc. The obvious disadvantages of native workflows are:
- they are old fashioned (no graphical design)
- they are proprietary (for everything, but the linear flow you need an idocscript)
Also, at the time of acquisition, Oracle had more than 10 workflows engines. Therefore, shortly after that it has been announced that WCC (UCM at that time) will contain restricted use of BPEL PM (the BPEL runtime engine + free JDeveloper for design) to enrich workflow design/runtime experience. There are two possible ways of usage:
- the way you described (start a criteria workflow, handover to BPEL and somehow synchronize the two), or
- you do everything in BPEL and call UCM via web services. Note that this way you lose the status-related functionality
I would not dare to comment on best practices, but it seems that in reality you have two options:
- call a web service from BPEL (at the end of BPEL workflow) to approve/exit the native workflow
- set a flag (also via a web service) and on the UCM side implement an idocscript (most likely Additional Exit Condition) to auto-approve the workflow, or process to the next step, if you will
Note that the way when you do everything in either WCC, or BPEL has another reason: WCC native workflows have its own GUI, and BPEL worklists are not OOTB integrated into WCC's interface. This has changed already, since introducing the umbrella WebCenter concept. Note, however, that the front-end product where these two meet is WebCenter Portal, not WebCenter Content.
Furthermore, for about a year ago Unified BPM Suite, which is the flag ship in BPM for Oracle, has become a part of WCC license. I did some survey on this point and it seems it's not easy (if possible at all) to bind criteria workflows with BPM ones. There is, however, a referential presentation which demonstrates how to add a document(no statuses, no workflows in WCC) to a BPM process, and this seems to be the way (no guarantee!) where the products aim.
I have also noticed that whilst in PS5 ( http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E21764_01/ecm.htm ) the BPEL Component manual is still present, in PS6 ( http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E23943_01/webcontent.htm ) it has disappeared.
I am eager to hear the news from product management.
