Workflows starting multiple runbooks

I've create a workflow that is supposed to start when an incident is set to resolved and send an e-mail notification and trigger a runbook that closes the incident.
What I notice is that the workflow is running several times against the same incident so the email is sent multiple time and the runbook is also started several times until it has changed the incident states to closed.
Is their a way to control how often the workflow engine processes the rules or that it only runs once per incident?
Thanks Hans Petter

that is your problem.
You are saying: run this workflow whenever the incident is updated with the sole criteria that the incident has the status resolved.
What is happening is then that the workflow runs the first time and applies the template. This updates the incident which then triggers the workflow. This goes on until one of the runbooks has updated the incident to status closed. Then the criteria is no
longer true.
change the changed from to include the criteria
status NOT EQUAL resolved.

Start multiple domains simultaneously on 1 Weblogic server installation?

Is it okay to start and run multiple domains simultaneously. Better yet, when having multiple domains on 1 WLS server, should each domain have a different port number in order to be run simultaneously?
Here's my scenario - I installed Oracle Business Intellgence, which by default installs and configures WLS server for certain Business Intelligence applications (BI Publisher). This instance was running fine and good and still is.
Then I had another application, Oracle Data Integrator, which has a Console piece that requires a domain on WLS. So instead of modifying the existing domain for Oracle Business Intelligence, I created a new domain via the Configuration Wizard and selected those components for Oracle Data Integrator.
therefore current domains:
...\domains\bifoundation_domain --> installed automatically as part of Oracle Business Intelligence
...\domains\odi11g --> I created this domain after I
Now I have 2 domains under 1 WLS Server (windows 7 64bit), but if I startWeblogic.cmd for the bifoundation_domain, and I startWeblogic.cmd for the odi11g...then only the components for the bifoundation_domain become available via the WLS Console.
Questions:
- Can I run both domains simultaneously?
- Should I have modified the bifoundation_domain to include Oracle Data Integrator component; therefore only having 1 domain but having everything run under that domain?
- Does the Port for each domain matter? both bifounddation_domain and odi11g domain use ports 7001
Are there any other considerations? Thanks much.

Hi,
It is perfectly OK to run multiple domains on a single Weblogic server installation. Only constraint would be you have enough capacity available on your server to start multiple instances.
Things to note is, if your domain1 is running on listen address : port { localhost : 7001 } then your other domain should be configured on a different port say {localhost : 8001 }. If you want both domain to run on same port then go for virtual IP's to be plumbed on your physical network interface and configure as,
domain1 - { ip1 : 7001 }
domain2 - { ip2 : 7001 }
this way you will can access both domain admin console on same port.
Remember, Weblogic resources cannot be shared between domain, however a single nodemanager will be enough to monitor both the domains.

Single step workflow with multiple approvers (without using a group)

Hi,
is it possible to have a single step workflow with multiple approvers without using a group? This is for a contract document.
i want to add a number of users based on particular logic. The approvers are random and do not belong to any particular group.
DO let me know if it is possible or if any of you have done that.
thanks in advance.
regards,
rubio

Hi Rubio,
I believe the behavior would be, if individual users are added as approvers then the system would require each approver to approve the document. However, if you use the user group, you could set the role so that it would be either ALL or ANY.

Vikram

Remove open workitem from user inbox after the workflow starts again.

I have heard that there is a possibility to remove a open workitem from the user inbox, after the workflow starts again for the same object (data update), via a termiantion event. I have searched in the sap workflow dokumentation but i could not find out how to use this. Could somebody provide me some detailed documentation or examples how to use this for my problem?
Thanks,
Steve

Hi Sudhir,
the workitem which should terminate is a decision task with two results. The wolkflow looks as follows:
Activity: Read Data
Decision: Approval Check Decision
Activities: Approve or Reject
How should it look like in your opinion with the termination? How looks this option to terminate this workitem? The workitem should terminate automatically from the userinbox if the workflow starts again for the same object (with updated data).
Thanks,
Steve

Now, I'm developing my first workflow in Visual Studio. I'm at the debugging stage. I want to change the start options, and I cannot find any settings similar to the above. How do I adjust the start options in Visual Studio?

When the time of workflow creation you can mention. Below link check Figure 10

Start multiple services on a list of computers

I'm trying to write a PowerShell script to start multiple services for a computer list in a txt file. I know there has to be a way, but I'm running in circles trying to figure it out. My latest test is
Get-ContentD:\Scripts\test.txt|Foreach-Object{Get-Service-Name
'spooler'|Set-Service-StatusRunning}
Which starts the service on the server I'm running the script from. Also, the services I want to run are not on the server.
I'd appreciate any help.

Hello Geek127,
If your sample text.txt file contains a list of computernames (one per row), then you simply need to add the "-computername parameter to the Get-Service command follower
by the PS default variable $_.
Get-Content D:\Scripts\test.txt | Foreach-Object{Get-Service -Name 'spooler' -Computername $_ | Set-Service-StatusRunning }
for reference, you can check this great post from the scripting guy http://blogs.technet.com/b/heyscriptingguy/archive/2013/10/13/powertip-use-poweshell-to-start-service-on-remote-machine.aspx
hope it helps

"No workflow started. Application error occured"

Dear Gurus,
Our user has encounter approval workflow problem. Shopping cart was created and ordered with status "Awaiting Approval". However, when viewing "Approval Overview", it shows that "No workflow started. Application error occured".
Approver has access to SAP and roles had been assigned.
I've checked table SWW_WI2OBJ and there is workflow created in SAP. However, it shows as error on the web.
Any idea what caused this error?
rgds,
Santthi.

Hi,
Go to SWDD and from Header find out whether you have an active version for your workflow.
Seems like the BUS 2201 is not able to determine any of the active workflows.
OR,
Go to SWUD and test with your workflow template and see if any error exists.
It will show :" Workflow definition doesnot exist WD 401 " error if you dont have an active version.
Try to create an active version for your workflow if this is the issue.
Best regards,
Sridhar

Starting dialog after workflow starts

hi there,
i have a user request and i don''t know how to handle this. i have tried to do it another way, but for our users this is not acceptable.
the users enter absences in HR for other collegues (illness, ......). Each of the entered or changed or deleted absences has an event triggered behind it (object type ABSENCE with method created, deleted, and so on).
i have a workflow starting with each of this triggered events. now the big problem is that the users have to add an document (scanned pdf file) to the absence. But they DON'T want to go to business-place-inbox for it, they want to do it directly.
well, how should i handle this. when the users has entered the data there should be the 'add attachment' dialog from workflow , or some other dialog. is this possible ?
best regards, Martin

Yup - I understand what you mean. I have never worked with the absence object type, but if there's a separate transaction for maintaining the data you can perhaps try to modify it and make the GOS available for the absence object? There are other threads here explaining how to enable GOS in a 'non-GOSsed' transaction.
Martin Svik wrote:
> your second question: it is the user who has entered the absence = wf-initiator !
So if you create an absence record and I delete it, you should be the one who adds this attachment? A bit odd if you ask me, but as long as you realize what you are saying it's OK.

No workflow started

Hi All
I have searched the forum first but no luck with a answer with similar question from another person previously
We are on SRM5.0 EC
Need your help here
User has created a shopping cart and tried to order it but gets msg No workflow started. Application Error occured.
I haved checked BBP_PD and there is no workflow ID for this shopping cart and cannot find any entries in table SWW_WI2OBJ for this shopping cart.
The user has since then created a shopping cart using describe requirements and managed to order the items required in the original sc. But if she tries to create the sc as normal she gets the above error msg.
I checked the user in PPOMA and everything seems to be fine
Any idea's why this message is appearing.

Hi Martin
In SLG1 the following msg appears
No approval workflow found. Inform system administrator

Hi Sam,
I don't think it's a good idea for one script to start multiple app servers. I think you want to reduce some manual work? But running the SAP standard script 'startsap' twice is not that complex. In other words, you make the simple thing complicated....
Why the one-step run script is not recommended? Because you must ensure that the central instance is started successfully once after you run the script startsap. Even you have a command in the script to detect this, it cannot be 100% garanteed that the CI is started without any errors. In other hand, the command to detect CI status is not 100% stable. You cannot easily control it when it meets error.
The best way is you monitor it yourself.

Starting multiple application servers

We have 4.7 system has 2 application servers as "sap1" and "sap2" installed in different Unix servers.
I would like to start "sap1" first and "sap2" next. Is there any standard script for starting multiple application servers in a sequence. We have problem, when restarting servers after weekly off-line backup. Should we go for customised Unix shell scripting?.
Thanks,
Sam

#!/bin/sh
SYSID=ABC
STARTSCRIPT="/sapmnt/$SYSID/exe/startsap"
start the Central Instance (CI)
$
start AppServers
remsh <app server> -n startsap <Instance name>
stopscript
#!/bin/sh
SYSID=ABC
Stop all app servers and the database.
stop AppServers
remsh <hostname> -n stopsap <instance name>
stop central instance
/sapmnt/$SYSID/exe/stopsap

Starting multiple instances of Matlab in Mac OS X Tiger

I am trying to start multiple instances of Matlab in Mac OS X 10.4, that is, there are several users in this machine, and they all need to use Matlab. Right now, only one user is able to do so, when a second user logs into his/her account and they start Matlab, it does not start. Actually, if one user has X11 open (not even Matlab) and another user tries to start Matlab it won't start. I'm not sure if this is a license problem, an X11 problem, or a Matlab problem. To start matlab, I am using the StartMATLAB.app located in the Applications folder. Following are the details for the hardware:
Model Name: Mac Pro
Model Identifier:
MacPro2,1
Processor Name: Quad-Core Intel Xeon
Processor Speed: 3 GHz
Number Of Processors: 2
Total Number Of Cores: 8
L2 Cache (per processor): 8 MB
Memory: 8 GB
Bus Speed: 1.33 GHz
Boot ROM Version: MP21.007F.B06
SMC Version: 1.15f3
Serial Number: 157***UPZ
Some information about Mac OS:
System Version: Mac OS X 10.4.11 (8S2167)
Kernel Version: Darwin 8.11.1
The version of X11 is:
X11 1.1.3 - XFree86 4.4.0
I appreciate your help.
<Edited by Moderator>

See this article: An easy way to run multiple instances of any program.
I believe another alternative is to provide a separate copy of the application in the users own Home folder by placing it in the /Home/Applications/ folder. This may not work for all applications as some simply will not run multiple instances of itself.
Licensing is of course a separate issue as each unique user may require a license, although many licenses only restrict use to one CPU at a time rather than multiple users on a one CPU.

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.

Neethu Joy
