sample workflow

Has anyone tried the example workflows, which teamsite provides, especially the one with email approver thingy. It seems like it has lots of bugs. Just for giggles , i was trying it and it doesn't allow me to approve. I did a run in the debug mode, seems like everything is fine. Please let me know if any one have played with this lately.
Thanks

I have implemented them before. The only problems I have had were
with the email modules. Those were pretty poorly documented and
there are a number of posts in this forum about them.

Why not post your WF and what is happening ?

here is the workflow, as an attachment. I have changed my email preferences in the email_map.cfg, and also in the iw.cfg.
Please let me know if this is right?
Thanks

rookie mistake.

you assume that reading the manuals and configuring email per the instructions would work.

Silly Rabbit, tricks are for kids.

if you search the forums for info about the script you are using, you can get more details. But in a nutshell, you
need to change the email_map.cfg file that is located in th esame directory as the iw_solution_email.ipl file.

Oh, one more piece of trivia, the format of that email_map.cfg file is much different that the other email_map.cfg file.

Sound easy enough ?

Are you the actual *owner* of the WORKAREA in which you initiated the job?
If not - then you won't be the owner of the Approver task.

If you uncomment the line that that looks like: # iw_output_file => "<input type='text' value='/tmp/foo.xml'>\n",
(and change /tmp/foo.xml to something like c:/temp/foo.xml or wherever you can place files on your system) and instantiate the workflow - you will get the output file which will actually be somewhat more useful to look at than the wft.

look for it

this format:

<emailConf>
<user name="jsmith" fullname="John Q. Smith" email="John.Smith@BigCorp.com"/>
</emailConf>

not this format:

# "bbonds" receives email at barry@bonds.com (external domain)

bbonds: barry@bonds.com

# "livanh" receives email at lh@sfgiants.com

livanh: lh@sfgiants.com
