    Flows have been loaded to server from Designer using Process, Upload to Server.  I did not use Tools, Upload Document to server.

    On the server I checked the following file system:
    $LAWDIR/bpm/pfrepository.

    Just to be sure, I also checked
    $LAWDIR/bpm/emailattachments

    The flow I uploaded to the server is not there, but the file is available to download to anyone using processflow designer that has been validated by Lawson.

    My flow fails for fire because the Event Manager cannot find the file.

    I did a system "find" and could not locate the xml file.

      Did you check /procflo?  /hrflo?

      Are you sure you uploaded to the right server?

        When you upload, you should be using "Process"/"Upload to Server" and not "Tools"/"Upload Document".

          Chad - Yes, I know - I referenced that in my original post.
          I believe if you use Tools/Upload Documents, it locates files in $LAWDIR/bpm/emailattachments.

            Roger.

            Not only did I check those directories, I just ran another system find:
             find / -name "*868.xml" 2>/dev/null
            could not find the flows...but like i said, other users can download it from PFlow designer.

              Which user are the others using to download? Which user are you using?

              What server are the others using to download from? What server are you using?

               

              Have you checked all of the Options settings within Pflow designer?

                There are just 3 of us, each with their own account.  When the documents are loaded and you do an "ls -al" lawson becomes the owner of the document.

                There is only one server, only one place to go.

                Very interesting, I just tried Tools/Upload Document to Server and my xml file was dropped into
                $LAWDIR/bpm/emailattachments

                Regarding options in PFlow designer.
                When I access Tools/Option, that drops me into Designer Login window.  The only thing I see there could cause an issued would be web user and product line.

                  So...I just uploaded again.
                  This time I told it to over write the existing flow
                  I checked the $LAWDIR/bpm/pfrepository and the file was there, appended with _V01.xml
                  The second upload seemed to trigger the versioning.
                   

                  Case closed.  It was definitely there after the versioning occured.

                  Now I can post another problem when my Trigger fails to issue the WorkUnit, which fails to fire the Flow.  :o)
