Object FORM method HTMLPROCESS cannot be executed

[Dart, Jocelyn]

Hi Cristiana,
Perhaps the workflow is reading other details about the employee, e.g. to build the work item text or pass as parameters, that the agent does not have access to? Perhaps you have changed the work item text or long text to include
other employee details that the agent does not have access to?
 
In which case, a "swap to background" step would be useful - idea is to pull out all the information you need in the task to the workflow container when you are using WF-BATCH, and then pass all that info to the task, so that it doesn't need to be calculated dynamically when the agent starts the work item.

Hi Jocelyn,
 
the employee is already in table T77UA.
 
In Production we have several examples where a manager has 'delegated' the
workflow inbox to an employee.
We have several examples where the employee can then approve leave without
a problem but cannot approve the deletion of the leave request (message
"Object FORM method HTMLPROCESS cannot be executed" is displayed).
In QAS the employee can approve both scenarios without a problem, and
that's what is driving me insane!!
 
I still think it can be something related to authorization because of the
following:
 
1 - I logged on as myself (heaps of authorization)
2 - I selected one workflow that was in Error
3 - I re-started this workflow using SWPR
4 - I executed SWIA to execute the work item without agent checking
 
As a result, the form to approve the deletion was displayed with the
buttons Pass or Cancel; I pressed Pass and the 'Confirm Form' screen was
displayed with message "Form was transferred successfully" and the Confirm
button was displayed; pressed the Confirm button and Bob is your uncle!
 
I was told by the consultant that the way SAP designed the other workflows
was to allow a user without the correct authorisation to still be able to
approve the workitem using a new task TS95100088 - Swap to background.
This is supposed to overcome the authorisation issues and HR structural
authorisation issues.
 
The users that have experienced these problems with the Deletion of Leave
can approve other workflows with no errors and I have also tested this in
ESQ for Deletion of Leave with the same scenario as Production and it
works as expected.
 
I was told that the only authorisation change made at the time SAP changed
the workflows was to assign transaction YY* to the employee role to allow
authorisation to the approval transactions via ESS.
 
There is any specific/tricky authorization required for using the form to
approve the deletion of a leave request?
 
Losing sleep over this one!!
 
Much thanks and regards
 
Cristiana

Hi Cristiana,
Could be user starting the workflow doesn't have sufficient HR struc
authorisation to access the data, therefore the bindings are empty.
Try setting the users involved with HR struc auth to everything by adding
them to table T77UA.
If it works with full HR struc auth at least you know the problem is
somewhere in those settings and
not in your workfflow itself.

Hi Jocelyn,
 
still not sure what is going on!
 
It does work in the QAS client, but it doesn't work in Production.
 
Structural Authorization is switched on (table T77S0 - AUTSW / ORGPD = 1)
in both clients (QAS and PROD).
 
The modification was made to the workflow to support the solution for
'delegation of the workflow inbox' (similar to what was done at DoH,
remember?).
 
The modification was made to all workflows but one; just recently the
consultant made the modification for the Approval for Leave Delete Request
workflow. The only difference between the Leave Delete Request workflow
and the Approval of Leave workflow is in the binding of the approval task;
in the Leave Delete Request workflow the object type ABSENCE is being
passed to the task as well as the container elements (e.g.
&ABSENCE.EMPLOYEENUMBER&, &ABSENCE.AGGREGATE.NAME&, ect); in the Approval
of Leave workflow, only the container elements are being passed. But that
still wouldn't explain why it does work in QAS and it doesn't work in
Production - driving me crazy!!
 
In Production, the worklfow goes into error for the scenario where a
manager delegates the inbox to an employee - I do smell some authorization
problem, but I can't figure out where or what is wrong.
 
I wish it wasn't working in any of the clients!!!
 
Any further ideas?
 
Thanks and regards
 
Cristiana

Cristiana,
Check that the work item is still active.
Check the user's security in SU01 and for HR structural authorisations.
Refresh buffer using SWU_OBUF - should do this if you introduce changes
and then use them on the same day.
Regards,
Jocelyn

G'day all,
 
we are in version 4.6C and using ESS.
 
An employee is allowed to Delete their own leave; when that happens, the
Approval for Leave Delete Request workflow starts.
 
Everything was working fine; one of the consultants made a modification in
this workflow and now when the approver attempts to executes the work item
, the message Work item 000003646541: Object FORM method HTMLPROCESS
cannot be executed".
 
The Task for approval executes FORM.HTMLPROCESS
 
All the other workflows we have are working fine and are using
FORM.HTMLPROCESS
 
Any ideas? I am sure it is something small but I can't see it!
 
Many thanks and regards
 
Cristiana
