Approve button missing for MDG M Workflow

[#1]

Hello All,

I am trying to set up email notifications for the standard workflow in MDG-M.

I used a standard SAP document attached to work.

Unfortunately, this did not work. So i reverted back all the steps and deleted the BRF+ Z application which calls this step.

http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/c059adc5-65f7-2e10-36ab-81eb43f53...

And Now my actual standard 86 workflow is also not working. This was working perfectly fine with last status of material as 'Final Check Approved'

I am able to create material, but after refresh 'Approve' or 'Reject' buttons are missing which were visible earlier.

The materials are in 'Changes to be executed' status only.

I am not able to proceed further in approving/rejecting

Please give hints on this.

Thank you,

Shaila.

Hello Ravi,

Thank you for your response.

Yes, we created a rule-based workflow for the MDG material. Unfortunately the workflow is not working now.

Infact not only approve button, ACTIVATE button is missing during the CR type mat01 i.e. create material in the MDG.

I have referred your link and the Decision table values seem correct (i compared with our QA system where workflow runs fine)

So not sure where the problem is.

any more hints will be much appreciated.

Thank You,

Shaila.

Hello,

the buttons (actions) on the screen depends on the Step Types.

Look into the customizing MDG > General Settings> Process Modeling > Workflow > Define Step Types and Assign Actions

Under Step Type 8, do you have the Actions "Activate" and "Reject" ?

Hello Shaila,

The buttons(actions) Activate and  on the screen depends on the Step Types.

DT_USER_AGT_GRP_MAT01/2/6/A/B

give there approval ID in the USER_VALUE  and also which user type.

Hello Nikhilesh and Tommy,

Thanks for the response.

After analyzing further, i could see that the WF-Batch user is giving error in the transaction SLG1, all the object txt- Business worklfow are failing for the user WF-batch. The error details show the tRFC for the workitem is still in SM58 queue.

Also , error are found in SM58 for the target system, worklfow_local_400.

So it seems the complete worklfow has a problem, and just not the buttons.

Any hints will be highly appreciated!

Thank you everyone in advance.

Shaila.

Hello Nikhilesh.

Thank you for the link.

I could analyze that the transaction SWU3 which had 2 red cross.

1. configure RFC destination : WF-batch user had invalid password in SM59. We corrected that in workflow_local_400 - logical destination RFC.

2. schedule background job for event queue :  i could also schedule the background job and maintained correct now

This did not really solve the problem. Submit button or activate or approve or reject - no buttons are visible.

the question is in logical destinations i have another RFc connection called workflow_local_100.where i could see the wf-batch user having invalid password - should be cane in 100 client also ?

any hints will be sincerely appreciated

thanks,

Hi Tommy,

Yes, i have 'activate' or 'reject' in the step 8 of the process modelling.

In SLG1, the WF-batch is failing all the time and i cannot see any entries in sm58.

In swi6, with my CR and BUS2250 , 'there no workflows worked on this object type' error

any other place where i can check my worklfow and all the basic buttons.

Thank You,

Shaila.
