WorkFlow: Work Item getting stuck in requestor's inbox after resubmitting

Hi all,
There is a form which has to get approved for further processing. When the requestor submits it for approval, the workitem goes into the approver's inbox. There are three approvers. When one of the approvers rejects it, it goes back to the requestor's inbox. Now the requestor changes the form and resubmits it again. But now, it won't go from that inbox to the approver's inbox.
Could anyone tell me how to debug this kind of a workflow scenario? What transactions should I be using to find out what's going on here? I'm a bit new to WorkFlow.
Thanks.

Hi Kinna,
What work item is this? Did you check the workflow log/ overview for any errors?

P.S. You will probably get a bettr response if you psot this question on the Business Process Management (BPM) forum.

Items get stuck between desktops

Does anyone else have a problem with items getting 'stuck' between desktops so that you can see them as you move between desktops, but can't access them?
I created an e-mail by dragging a photo to the Mail icon in the dock, but nothing happened so I repeated the exercise. Still nothing happened. I then created the e-mail by copying and pasting the photo into a new blank e-mail and thought nothing more about it. But now, when I swipe between desktops, I can see the two e-mails, complete with photos but no text, straddling two desktops but can't click on them to delete them. If anyone else has experienced this,have they found a way to access the items?

I've found the answer to my own question in an answer by Captfred last year! I right clicked on the Finder icon in the dock, assigned the Finder to "None" desktops and then found lots more things that were hiding between desktops!

I've seen this a few times when Finder was assigned to "all desktops". If this is the case, right click (cntl click) the dock icon > options > assign to none.

Label of items get 'stuck' on the items....

Hi everybody,
I have upgraded Oracle 6i Forms to Oracle Forms 10g v10.1.2 . The peculiar matter is that in the upgraded 10g forms almost 60-70% of the labels of all items (display , text items) get stuck on the upper side of these kind of items...., altough in Forms 6i the labels were not stuck on the items......
Is there a bug or something i can do except for modifying the X position of the labels manually...?????
NOTE: In Forms Builder the gap is significant almost as it is in Forms 6i..The problem appears at runtime....
thanks , a lot

I am using Firefox. The boxes show up no matter if I sign out and sign back in or not and flash has been updated and it still occurs. I've attached an image to show you what it looks like. I've minimized my form to show that the box continues to stay in place. (My form is a lot longer than what screen capture allows me to show and there are more randomly placed text boxes further down the page.)

Why doesn't Thuderbird IMAP my BT account in the inbox? It maps sent items and draft, but gets stuck 'thinking' about the inbox.

I have just migrated to a new laptop and have set up Thunderbird with various work and personal accounts. All the gmail accounts work fine, but the I am experiencing some problems with my btinternet account.
1. When it sends an email if gets stuck at the end of sending and when I cancel it it says that the email could not be saved to the sent folder. Yet when I look at the sent folder it is there and when I check people have received what has been sent.
2. When I click on the inbox folder it starts thinking, but will not show any of the emails that are in the BT email inbox.
I have set up all the accounts I'm asking Thuderbird to manage as IMAP accounts.
Any help i sorting this would be gratefully received :-)

SRM workflow - work Item is not being displayed

Hello,
We have SRM wrofklow configured on Portal and users are already using it.
Recently, we got one issue from the user saying he is not able to see the work item on Portal under UWL.
He can see the same work item in his inbox on SRM system.
I checked for the task# and task# TS40007953 was there in the standard com.sap.pct.srm.core UWL config file but it is not there in uwl.webflow.SAP_SRM UWL configuration file.
com.sap.pct.srm.core has Medium priority where as uwl.webflow.SAP_SRM has low priority.
I tired doing Re-Register as well on UWL system but no success.
Can anyone let me what could be wrong? Where it could be errors? On Portal or SRM?
Thanks in advance for your response.
Thanks,
Bhavik

Hi Bhavik
Usually when there is one user who is experiencing an issue, it is because they have personalizations set on the UWL.
Please clear this users personalizations by doing the following:
Go to system admin, system config, universal worklist and workflow, universal worklist administration. On the administration page, go to click to manage item types and view definitions. Here you will see a tab called reset personalizations. Go there and type in the userid, and reset the personalizations for this user.
If personalizations is not what is causing the issue, check to see if this user is missing a role. You can do a cross comparison of two users in both the backend and the portal. It would be helpful then to also bump up the logging levels on the UWL and look at the latest default trace when this user tries to connect to the portal.

Using workflow work items

Hi all,
I need some assistance guys. I am trying to understand that how do we use work items in work flow. Can anyone please help me with it, that is how to create the workflow and so on.....
If possible please let me know if there is some document you have or something on the internet.
that will be a gr8 help folks.
regards
Varun Sachdev

Hi Varun,
Here it goes... A workflow generally is triggered by some business event in SAP. Say for example when you create a document like Purchase Order or Sales Order. There are Business Objects written in SAP and most of the transactions use them to trigger off an event. You can start workflows through these events. The business objects contain methods within them which can be called at the workflow level. Say for example.. you want to send a Purchase Order Display method to a manager in a company when the Purchase Order amount exceeds a threshold. You can do this via the start condition in a workflow and the workflow calls the Display method and sends this workitem to the managers inbox. For more details you can always refer SAP help.. no other documentation can match it...

Workflow Work item escalation

Hello;
Can someone explain to me how what need to be done to escalate a PO approval when the deadline is missed and you want to escalate to the user manager.
Thanks;
Ibou

How is the Workflow configured for PO approval.
(1) Do you have a substitute Approver nominated. If YES< that Workflow would go to that substitute approver.You have to request that substitute approver to Pull that workitem to his worklist and do the neccessary transactions/ approve / reject etc as per your workflow configuration.
(2) If you donot have a substitute approver configured in the system, then , you will have to forward the work item to your superior and if he has the approval limit/value limit, that PO would be approved accordingly.

IPad 4 lightning to vga adapter, works but gets stuck in video out mode. I can't get it to switch back to mirroring without restarting it

I have an iPad 4 with an Apple lightning to vga adapter. (A1439)
It connects fine to my HDTV and projector for doing presentations and video etc.
But if I do show any video on it, e.g. full screen a video from within Chrome, Safari, the apps for Youtube etc.
or if I do a presentation using Keynote, it locks into working as an extended second screen.
It shows the controls for the video on the iPad and the video on the external screen, which is what I would expect. But then if I exit the video or complete the presentation, the external screen continues to show the last frame of the video or presentation. Even if I close the app.
I can't get back to using it in mirroring mode without shutting it down and restarting.
Surely I am just missing something.
I've tried force closing the apps that I use, switching between them, starting up new ones etc.
But no luck.
There doesn't seem to be a setting anywhere that I can change.
Any suggestions?

The same thing happened to me. After the big update, I also experienced exactly what you described. I ended up restoring the ipad a number of times.
The first few times, I restored from a back-up. The last few times I have restored the ipad as new. It would work the next few times I turned the machine on, and around the third time, it would lapse back into the recovery mode, with
the image of the serial cord connecting to an i-tunes logo on its desktop. This morning, I restored the ipad as new, but only allowed the apps manufactured by Apple to be synced back onto the ipad. I have powered it back on about three times, and so far, so good. I am waiting to see what happens the next few times I turn the machine on.
I had a very helpful senior Apple express advisor help me on Sunday to do the restore as a new ipad procedure. He said that if that did not work, the next step was having it serviced. He also mentioned that often the third party apps have problems due to getting corrupt and this often happens after a major update. That is why I thought i'd try and see what would happen if I only synced the Apple apps back onto the ipad.
It is not good though if I can't put third party applications on it without having the problem of lapsing into recovery mode, so I may have to get it serviced. I am wondering how many others have had this problem after the big update last week? Also, has anyone who was an early purchaser and got the flat-rate unlimited data plan subscription from AT&T, had to have their ipad replaced? Was there a problem with AT& T still allowing you to continue your special subscription plan?

Work Item to be disappeared from user1 inbox when escalated to user2

Hi,
I created a customising workflow for Credit Memo Request with 2 escalations for approval. I have used Fork operation to get this functionality with Requested start option in 2nd and 3rd branch to escalate after 3 and 6 days respectively if not the document is approved by the agent in branch 1.
Every thing works fine, but the client wants the work item to be removed from USER1's inbox when escalates to USER2 and from USER1 & USER2's inbox when escalated to USER3.
Could you guide how can we do it in my case.
Thanks in advance.
Edited by: Jaya on Sep 30, 2010 10:26 AM

HI Jaya,
you can make use of 'Processing Obsolete' here as it would remove workitems from the approvers inbox whose deadline is missed.
First of all , in the decision step make 'processing obsolete' active under 'outcome tab' of the task.
Use latest end with time as 3 days and action as modeled.Now in modeled deadline, make use of process control step and select 'set workitem as obsolete' and put step number of your dialogue step in 'workflow step'.
This will make the workitem diasppear from the approver inbox once the deadline is missed after 3 days.
Now to repeat the process fro 2nd and 3rd approver , put all of this in a loop, and before loop ends, find the next approver id in the outcome 'Processing obsolete' of the desicion step.and pass this id to the expression used for approver.
The loop condition can be a flag that is set to X when a deadline is reached. To do so, add a container operation in modeled deadline before process control step that will put the flag X.
So loop will continue to second pass if deadline is missed and hence so on till 3rd approver.Formulate condition for highest level of approval too.
Hope this helps.
Regards,
Sangvir Singh
