Multiple agents per one work item in workflow

[May, Kevin]

Thanks, to you both.  It's unfortunate because it looked like I had multiple agents for the same work item but each had their own work item id.  It was so close and it seems like such a simple thing.  What's worse is that the 'Practical Workflow for SAP' book simply says in order to achieve this put the multiline element in the 'Other' tab and then place the mulitiline element index in the agent assignment of the step and off you go.  
 
Thanks again,
 
Kevin

	Yes there has to be a sub workflow, with the task/step in the subworkflow. I did this last year and it must be in a subworkflow, especially if you want to return any check/approval results back to the main flow.

	Hi,
	 
	I went through the same problem some projects ago but I don't remember how I solved it. If your step where you put the mutiline element is a task, try to put this task in a sub-workflow and do the same settings at the sub-workflow level. It might solve the problem.
	 
	Cheers

	Hi Miguel, the step is creating one workitem with multiple workitem ids being sent uniquely to each agent identified in the multiline element.  This is working as I would expect dynamic parallel processing to work.  However when the first agent reserves the workitem it is then removed from all other agents.  I thought that using the 'Other' tab would prevent this from happening.
	 
	Thanks,
	 
	Kevin

		Hi,
		 
		You say "the workitem"! Is your workflow creating multiple workitems with one reviewer each time or ONE workitem with all the reviewers?
		 
		Cheers

		Hi, I've got a workflow multiline element which contains user id's. Currently all the agents in the multiline element are being sent the workitem, however the first agent to execute the workitem removes it from the other agent's inboxes. I've got the multiline element in the 'Other' tab of the step and I've tried using the multiline element index in the agent assignment of the step, i.e. '&REVIEWERS[&_WF_PARFOREACH_INDEX&]&'. What am I forgetting?
		
		Thanks in advance,
		
		Kevin
