I am fairly new to Processflow an I am looking for a recommendation on how best to approach this issue. Our Procurement Dept would like to have a Re-Route Action on certain requistions (> $5000,0000).  It  would open up a new form and they could select the user and have the work go to the new user inbasket for approval. I was able to create a customized version of WF02.1 and was trying to lauch the URL from the UserAction Node but I am getting the Exec List cannot exceed 99 characters. I am not ...

Hello, I'm wondering if anyone has found a way to leave a query before all records have been read. Similar to a 'do while'. I have a query that reads through lines on an invoice and I want to move on when a certain criteria is met instead of reading through all remaining records. Now I can do this with a branch within the query and just exit instead of going to the end of the query, but the problem comes when it comes back around to the beginning of that query again. It just stops. Any suggestio...

Hi, Can't get the DME node to run. When I try to build on the Query properties, it immediately comes up and says Runtime Error 429 - ActiveX component can't create object. Any thoughts :) Thanks!

I am new to processflow and was trying to write a flow that will send an email to an employee's supervisor when they are due for their 30 & 90 day evaluations. I have the flow created that is generating the emails but I am not able to get it to send the email notification to the correct supervisor. It somehow seems to be picking up the email of the last supervisor in the supervisor query and sending the email to that supervisor. I therefore need some help getting this issue resolved. Thanks

Hey guys, been trolling these boards for a couple of days trying to find an answer my issue. We currently have process flow setup fine in SQL 2000 database. However we just added SQL 2005 database, and I'm having issues connecting to it. I read the guide in the other topic on this board how SQL2005 drivers does not work... so would sql 2000 drivers be able to connect to 2005

We are setting up a new server and I'm wondering if there will be a problem with the work units (WF tables) when we port the data from our current/live PROD (the 'old server'), to the new server. The LOGAN area will NOT be ported over so the WF Tables and work units will be in a different state on the new server than they were on the old server. Specifically the 'next work unit' will be in the 5xx range on the new server where the current 'old' server is in the 8xxx range. We need to te...

Hey friends, I am getting the following message in ProcessFlow Designer 9.0.1.4 - Unable to communicate with ProcessFlow RMI Server.

I am unsure of the server side settings since our admin handles those, but has anyone else has this issue and how did you resolve In the aboe Article, we confirm the xml via the http://your.web.server.com/bpm/daservlet address (with our server) and now just need some ideas of quick places t...

Friends, I am working on a project involving invoking a process flow from AP160. I am trying to use an AGS call (like many have in here) and have not been having success. I tried to create a stub record in WFWK.1 so that if I call via the AGS call that it picks up. When I try to create the WFWK.1 record, it tells me that 'EFTACH160 Service is not defined'. I know I am not doing something right, can someone explain and show me how to make a process flow web callable and how to AGS call wor...

Here is the RQ10PD section that invokes the service. I guess this is a basic trigge....but what is the actual service name INITIALIZE WFAPI-INPUT MOVE RQWS-WORKUNIT TO WFAPI-I-WORKUNIT INITIALIZE WFAPI-OUTPUT PERFORM 1000-WF-RELEASE-SETUP IF (WFAPI-O-RETURN-CODE NOT = 0) DISPLAY 'Release API Return Code ' WFAPI-O-RETURN-CODE DISPLAY ' ' WFAPI-O-RET-MSG GO TO 400-END END-IF

Does any one know of a way to write a byte stream from ProcessFlow I want to attach a SQL Server Reporting services report to an email. The report can be created by the flow using the webservices node. But what is returned by the node is byte stream that needs to be written to the file system. I have tried using the custom activities node with the encoding activity and the convertStringToASCIIBytes activity but haven't figured out how to right that to the file system. The file activity ...

It has been my experience that ProcessFlow will timeout an object after about 60 seconds. I am using the SystemCommand object to run an external process and when it takes longer than 60 seconds, the SystemCommand object throws an error. The SqlQuery object appears to do the same thing. The WebRun object seems to have a longer timeout. This one acts more like 5 to 7 minutes. Does anyone know where to increase the timeouts for ProcessFlow objects I have looked through all the config files...

I have a client insistant on removing the 'TASK LEVEL WORK' from their inbasket display. Has anyone ever done it TIA

Has anyone upgraded to LSF 9.0.1.6 using Windows 2008 R2 with the Transformation Extenders (Mercator/DataStage replacement) We have not been successful in getting ProcessFlow to call TE when installed on the server (can't make the 64 bit call) and we're being told by Lawson that we need to install TE on a 32 bit PC and call it remotely. Before I go that route, I'd love to know if anyone has implemented this without a remote PC. Thanks!

Friends, what gives with this error I had to change the LAW_JAVA_HOME and LAW81_JAVA_HOME environment variables because the PF Scheduler would not even pop up. After changing them, I get the following error: HELP!!! We need this working ASAP so any help would be appreciated! Thanks in advance for your help!

I'm looking for some guidance on managing in progress work units when uploading a new version of a flow. For example, we're currently on V_03 of our Req Line Approval. When we went from V_02 to V_03 the 500 in progress V_02 units were stranded. They wwere in various stages of completion. Most units have 4 approvals required so they can have 0-3 approvals already complted and we'd have to either get the approvers to re-approve (not good for them) or do the approvals ourself with PF Administr...

I have a question about Tasks and assigning work to an approver in the req approval flow. We have the following approval levels by requesting location at our facility: 1. Level 1 = $0 - $500 2. Level 2 = $501 - $1000 3. Level 3 = $1001 - $10000 4. Level 4 = $10000 - 100000 5. Level 5 = $100001 - UP Each level of approval can go to a different person depending on the requesting location. Here is the problem: Some Requesting Locations don't have a Level 1 approver, just a Level 2. Do I hav...

When working in an xml inbasket with design studio is the current workunit number available to me Do I have to query to find it

Hello!  I hope someone can help.  We are currently using LSF9 SP6 / 8.0.3 apps.  We are testing 9.0 apps for upgrade.  ProcessFlow is functional using 8.0.3 apps.  I am trying to point our existing process flows (having trouble with RSS flows specificially) to the new product line and I can't seem to get (or at least view) work units in either the administrator tool or the inbasket.  I believe work units are being created because there are certain requisitions that are auto-approved based on the...

We would like to send a welcome message to new employees and their supervisor a few days after their hire date.  So basically, the flow will run nightly and look at the Hire Date field for today - 2 days and send an email to the new hire and their manager.  The manager's lawson number is in the HRSUPER table, so it will have to look at that first in order to lookup the manager's email on HR11. Does anyone already have a similar flow they would be willing to share  Thanks!

This forum is similar to one discussed previously. I am needing to re-route invoices that were initially sent through process flow with wrong auth code. I have figured out that I need to call the bpm form to write the new category value. I also need to update the oCatValue. But the users are also wanting the Invoice origin auth code to be updated for auditing purposes. This is tied to the auth code in the APINVOICE table. So I need to update the APINVOICE table. Has anyone done this and if so ho...
