Workflow Workitem approval from Handled Device.

Hello,
In SAP users will use handled device to approve SAP Workflow Workitems. Below are my questions.
1. Is this possible with SAP Technology or we have to make use of some other application out of SAP.
2. Is there any specific setting or configuration in SAP to enable users to approve workflow from Handled Device.
3. Can link to SAP workitem be send in mail to handled device and workitems can be opened from handled device.
Any links or PDFs related to Handled Workflow Development / COnfiguration is much appriciated.
Thanks in Advance.

Hi,
You will not be able to execute SAP work items in Blackberry or Iphone because of their technological restrictions. You have to develop BSP application and certain necessary customizing, SWNCONFIG, SCOT etc, have to be done.

I Cloud approval from other device or verification code?

I just upgraded to IOS8 on iPad 3 and iPhone 6. For the I cloud set-up it is asking for an approval from another device or entering a verification code.
1. How to approve from other device? I have an iMac as well. OR
2. If you enter code the message is a verification code will be sent to a phone number (which is my house phone....does not receive texts).
What to do?

Hi Brad0266,
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
From your post it appears that you have enabled two-step verifcation for your Apple ID, which is why it is prompting you to enter in a verification code from a device that you set up. Take a look at the support article linked to below to learn more about two-step verification.

How do approve from another device when I changed my number

I recently got an iPad air 2. I would like to approve my new device to use my Apple ID. We authorization process requires receiving a text message from my old cell phone number that I no longer have access to. How do I have proof the device sent my phone number has changed?
thank you for your time helping me

My guess is that you have set up two-step verification for your Apple ID:
iCloud: two-step verification
So I suspect your old iPhone number was one of the devices set up to receive an authorization request.
Note that you could also use your recovery key (instead of your iPhone) if this is the case.

Start PO workflow after approved from first level

Hi Guys,
I have i typical requirement i my knowledge its not possible.
What exactly has happened is that after upgrade BUS2012 event linkage was not active and there where no workflow got triggered for PO approval
But the line manager have gone and approved the POu2019s from ME29N now for the next level they are asking to send the workflow as we have activated the linkage.
Any idea how can we start the workflow from that point again.
Atul

Hi Atul,
In production how many workflow's are there like this?
Its small amount of workflow's then you can again manually trigger the workflow using SWUE[You should pass the object key as purchase order number] and Complete the first level of workflow.
So it will be go for Second level of Approval.
If you have large amount of workflows that are already Triggered in production, then you have to discuss with your client about the issue.
Thanks,
Viji.

Waiting for approval from other device on mac

Im waiting for the macs keychain access to send approval to one of my other devices for approval after a fresh installation of mavericks 10.9.3,
my question is how long should it take because its been 3 hours so far.
it doesnt appear to be working for me

Hello pj o\'connell,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Please see below for instructions on troubleshooting this issue of not receiving the verification code:
I'm not receiving the verification code via SMS.
Make sure that you have a good cellular network connection on your phone.
Check that your phone number is one that can receive SMS messages. You can do this by having someone send you a text message.
Check that you have the correct phone number associated with your account:
Devices using iOS 7.0.3 or later: Tap Settings > iCloud > Account, then tap Keychain. Check that the phone number listed under Verification Number is correct. If not, enter another phone number.
Macs using OS X Mavericks v10.9 or later: Choose Apple () menu > System Preferences. Click iCloud, then click Account Details. Check that the phone number listed under Verification number is correct. If not, enter another phone number.
Check Apple System Status to see if there is currently a service outage affecting iCloud Keychain.
If you do not have access to a device that has iCloud Keychain enabled, you can contact Apple Support and verify your identity for help completing iCloud Keychain setup.

How do I approve my other devices when prompted?

On setting up my new iPod and iPhone I was prompted to either use security code or to approve from another device. I chose to select approve from another device, but there is absolutely no indication of how to do this and Apple's help manual doesn't help either? So how do I approve another device?

Try resetting the keychain. See:
iCloud: About iCloud Security Code alert messages

Executing/accessing workitem(approv./rejects on BSPage ) from Outlook

Hi
Could you plz guide me on the following requirement.
A request should be approved by manager. And its a BSP application. Both request creation and approval is through BSP pages. I understand we have to generate(from WF_EXTSRV) a WF Task with reference to Approval BSP page. And include the same task in the workflow. So whenever a request is created, a workitem will be sent to manager's SAP-inbox. so when workitem is executed approval BSP page will be opned in a browser where manager will either approvr/rejects[he will also provide reason on the page].
But the business process is such a way that manager will execute the workitems only from outlook.
So now my question is, workitem should be availble in outlook for manager's access. How a mail can be sent to manager's inbox with links to workitem, whenever a request is created. So that when clicked on the link, work item should be executed & approval BSP page should be open in browser. Manager will either approv/reject the request which is in process. And then manger's action should be sent back to workflow.
Please let me know what configuration is required in order to achive this requirement. let me know where can i find the help(URL) for this configuration.
Regards,
KR

Workflow : Approval from outside SAP (Non-SAP User)

Is it possible to have an approval level outside sap , if so how can we do it .The approver has no access to SAP .Please explain the process to achieve this requirement

Hello,
The extended notification concept can be used for the users which is not having the SAP access. So the users no need to log into the system to approve from the business workplace but they can approve from their outlook mail also. The transactions are SWNCONFIG , SWNADMIN.
Please find the below link to configure.

Problem with custom sharepoint designer approval workflow - check box: 'Start this workflow to approve publishing a major version of an item' is greyed out

I wanted to create a simple approval workflow. Hence I opted to start from scratch rather than copy the OOTB approval WF. Using SharePoint Designer (not Visual studio) I created a reusable workflow and have added the built in 'Start approval process' action.
It's saved and published globally.
Everything works fine except that when associating the WF with a list the 'Start this workflow to approve publishing a major version of an item' check box is disabled.
Major and minor versioning is enabled for the library.
What am I missing here? Or do I have to start from the OOTB approval WF to get this to work?
Regards
Henning

Again - new ideas pop up right after defining the issue as a problem. :-) Problem solved!
I solved this by creating a new workflow from the original publishing approval workflow (copy and replace), but instead of tweaking the already defined approval process (WF action) I deleted it, then deleted all initiation form and local variables,
and then added the 'Start approval process' action again. This re-installs all the necessary local variables without any initiation form involvement, which is just what I want.
From here I can tweak the workflow to make it more user friendly, much like
described by Bobby Chiang in his great blog.
Remember to add action Set Workflow Variable 'EnableContentApproval' to Yes right before the Start Approval Process action, else the document's status won't be set to 'Approved' or 'Rejected' as an output of the workflow.
Learning every day!

User change attribute workflow with approval problem

Hello,
I have a requirement to add account numbers to user entry through workflow with approval process. and also same user can have multiple account numbers. when approver approves the User request then it's account number will be added into the user entity in ldap.
So, i have created a Change Attribute workflow for that account number with these steps as : initiate, Approval, Commit, Error_report
this workflow i am able to invoke through IdentityXML call and from OIM interfaces approvers able to approve and that account number is persisting under the User entity.
Problem is: Actually above request is staging system. when user requests, it is in initiate step, when approver approves the request then only commits the info. so, there are 2 stages here.
When i am requesting two consecutive account number requests then both requests are in initial stage. Then approver approves the 1st request then it is persisting into User entity. after that approver approves the 2nd request then this account number is overwriting the previous one. so, here is the problem i am finding. worflow is not adding the new account number.. instead its replacing the last value in the list of account numbers for an User entity.
I hope the above problem make understandable..
Really its a very much helpful to find the solution on this.
Thanks in advance,
Srini.

Thanks for the help. Having reinstalled OID/OAM a bunch of times to properly add our custom user object, nothing seems absurd. I tried running through your steps, but I'm still not getting the workflow button. I've customized create and delete workflows properly, but the change attribute is a mystery.
I did the following:
1) Selected a custom attribute in Attribute Access Control
2) Changed its read access to Anyone
3) Saved
4) Changed its modify access to Anyone
5) Saved
6) Added a new Change Attribute workflow for the custom attribute
7) Action #1: Request, added Anyone as participant and saved
8) Action #2: External Action, selected attribute is the custom one
9) Action #3: Commit
10) Saved and enabled the workflow
11) Restarted the Identity server
12) Picked a user
13) Opened his user profile
14) Clicked Modify
The custom attribute is still editable and has no Request a Change button.
