Is it possible to reassign work from one user's inbasket to another's similiar to what the timeout setting of an UserAction node would do Example, all work would flow to one user's inbasket and it would be their decision to either take an action or send to another user for action.

Is there a way to call a process flow from command line. I could create a batch program and call the flow from there via the jqsubmit. But was hoping for a better way. Any Thoughts

I am trying to set up a flow to generate an email to advise of the jobs in needs recovery status by doing a rngdbdump, like the one referenced in the 'Tips & Tricks' section. Has anyone done this as suggested by John If so, please advise which nodes I would use and how I woudl write the command syntax to be executed. The article John provides in Tips & Tricks suggest a great usage of process flow. However, unfortunately, my lack of familiarity and experience with P-Flow renders the detail...

Friends, I have been working on a process flow that pulls some info out of CBTRANS and puts some key fields in csv format that are then saved into a csv file via a FileAccess object. Everything works well except the most important part, the data showing up. I have a DME query that executes and is returning data, but when it gets to the MessageBuilder, the MessageBuilder does not show the values. In the log below you cna see the data but when you open the csv file, all cells say undefine...

How does ProcessFlow Integrator handle an Out of Office Autoreply from MS Outlook We would like the Autoreply to go to the email alias we have setup for the PFI Admins so we can insure a proxy is setup to cover Approvals for the person who is out. This used to happen, but stopped working some time ago and I'm not sure where to look to troubleshoot and correct. Any ideas would be appreciated.

FYI, If you are getting this message trying to run the ProcessFlow Administrator client on your PC, it relates to a bug in the release of Java JRE 1.6 Build 17 thru 20 related to SSL. The latest build 21 has a fix, you can also degrade to build 16 to fix.

I have a flow that needs to execute a pa100 to process a pa52 transaction it creates. I created the PA100 while logged in as Lawson. When I log in locally as Lawson and enter the transaction it works fine. When I log in as myself the transaction will not run. Any Ideas on how to setup the pa100 job so it will accept input from 'regular' users

I have been working with Lawson for 3 days now without any resolution. I have just upgraded our EMSS to version 9.0.1.3 and would like to use the new processflows that are provided instead of the generic emails. I am attempting to make changes to the EMSSAddrChg Service Definition to add the Product of ERP and to add the appropriate product line. Each time I try to do this, I receive an error message stating that I must inquire first (which I am doing). I am very familiar with process ...

Anyone know if it is possible to trigger a flow from a Portal Bookmark (No variables - just need to start the flow)

I'm using the Web Service Node in the PFI. My WS returns one or more records in the XML data stream. How do I detect the last record or EOF so I know when to stop processing. In PFI WS node, you can access each data element from WS using the array (0). Is there a max array counter that the PFI tool provides for us to use thanks, Tom.

We have a number of req approval requests for the approvals to be reassigned as people are out on vacation, etc. I am looking for a way to have our super user outside IT make this change to User Task Category Definitions but not allow access to update other flows or utilize the designer tool. Has anyone decentralized maintenance like this and been able to handle any security concerns

I know I'm probably asking for something that does not exist, but just so that I cover my bets - I have a flow that is initiated from three separate source - and within the flow I can know what that source is. Based on that source I have three different population of users who are assigned to three different tasks. Currently the flow branches based upon that source to three separate UserAction nodes. I'm wondering if anyone can think of a way to dynamically/programatically assign the task...

Has anyone created a Process Flow trigger in a batch program, such as PA102 (Position Update)   I need a work unit created when a PA102 job is submitted and when 'Update'=Y.

Hello, Can someone tell me the real difference between reqapproval1.xml and reqapproval2.xml The documentation gives this cryptic clue: The two flows are identical in all respects except that reqapproval1 looks for a value from the requisitions header detail to determine the appropriate level to restart the approval process. Reqapproval2 always starts at the first level of approval. I can see that reqapproval1 does track it's status by updating the PFLOW_APRV_LVL field on the req...

Hi All, I want to use FileClient to launch a flow and provide source data, but I can't figure out how to access the data in the file designated in the FileClient parameters. It must be simple, but I can't find it in the documentation. Thoughts Thanks!

I need to create a URL call that will invoke a PFI service from another system, anyone know how to do that I would like to either pass information in the URL call that the PFI service can load into Lawson or FTP a file to a folder and then invoke the PFI service to process the file delivered. We do not have scan client available.

We placed a number of personnel action flows into production. Related Lawson forms being called in the designs included HR11, PA52, PA53 and manual use of PA100. A recurring issue at this time is that the related work units are canceled by the system without reason at various times throughout the day. For the customer, items in an inbasket requiring an approval action just disappear. Lawson has provided some guidance for troubleshooting but this issue continues. NOTE: All other flow ...

Hi all, I've been trying to add new global environment wide variables to our PFI system without succes. I've tried adding them in the menu.do interface definitions which resulted in adding them in the logan database, but when I tried to retreive de variable in a flow it returned as 'not defined'. Also I tried to add them to the enter.cmd file where I found the LAWDIR and GENDIR variables, but I guess these are only used during install. Is there any way to add global variables to PFI,...

Is there a way to pass a value BACK to a Global Variable in Process Flow Example: Start declares var1='ONE' Then I execute System Command (Unix script) testvar.sh In my Unix script I accept the variable: variable1=$1 and then change it: variable1='TWO' and 'echo' confirms the change. However, when I return to process flow, var1 continues to retain the value 'ONE'. (Obviously, 'variable1' does not occupy the same location as the passed, global variable, 'var1'.) ...
