Hi Thomas
· MDM workflow Add-on allows MDM users to edit a workflow using Microsoft Visio Application.
· It is part of Data Manager Installation.
· It is being loaded by Data Manager when choosing to edit the workflow.
· It is compatible only at patch level of MDM since it access MDM repository data.
· Usually, the installation of Data Manager sets the required registry keys to enable it to load the workflow add-on successfully.
· In case you need to work with more than one Data Manager and edit workflow in more than one version the following information is essential:
MDM Data Manager looks for the following registry keys when clicking to edit a workflow:
1. Value "VSL Path" in key "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\SAP\MDM 7.1\Client\Workflow" – It points to the exact location of MDM workflow add-on. Data Manager uses this information to set the appropriate keys in registry to enable Visio application loading the correct MDM workflow add-on.
2. Value "Update Visio" in key HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\SAP\MDM 7.1\Client\Workflow.
Setting True value for this parameter (default) will cause Data Manager to set the location of workflow plug-in registry value of "VSL Path".
Therfore, You cannot work with MDM workflow Add-on at the same time for different Data Manager installed in diffrent directory paths.
Solution:
You can change the Data Manager path in the registry as follows:
VSL Path REG_ZS C:\MDM\Data Manager
Workflow Enabled REG_ZS True
You can do that by setting Workflow Key in the registry saving each time a different set up and then Export the key to your local dirctory with different file name.
ruuning the regedit command with switch S (I think...check this in the web) and the file name will update the registry accordingly.
since usually this is done once in a while, thus is a fair solution.
I hope this will help you.
