Help required in designing a workflow template

[Griffiths, Mark]

The technique you want to use is called Dynamic parallel processing.  It allows you to dynamically create a separate step or subflow for each entry in a multiline container element.  You enter the multiline element in the last (? Other?) tab on a step in the 'Dynamic parallel' section.  You then change your bindings to bind with index.

This technique is covered in the BIT601 training.

Hope this helps,

Regards,

Mark

Subject: Help required in designing a workflow template

Hi All,

I need to design a workflow template where in the approvers list and steps are sent to a import parameter of a class based on the import values I need to trigger a workflow.In the import struucture there are 9 fields COMPANY CODE,STEP,FLAG and AGENT1 to AGENT6.In the below table if the field FLAG is X mean the WF should complete only after all the decissions are completed not as hirarchy .In other words all the agents should take a decission,anyone can take decission anytime and Workitem text should be unique for all the agents.In the workitem text Agent name and id should be displayed.If the Flag is not X one decission is enough to complete the workflow here also workitem text should be unique.

My ideas in achieving this requirement are:

1) If flag = X. Create step fork with multiple branches and put the fork inside the loop.Create a variable counter and pass the value of the agents list.If 4 Agents set the counter to 4 and loop until the value is reached.Please correct me if my design is wrong.
2) If flag is not equal to X. This should be a normal approval process if 1 takes the decission the workitem will be disappeared from the others inbox.I need assistance in Workitem text handling.How to send unique text???
3) For agent assigment I have created a multiline element AGENTS with char14 datatype and calling this structure choosing EXPRESSION option under Agent assigment for decission task.Please correct me if I am wrong.

I request your inputs in achieving this requirement.Thanks in advance.

With Regards,
Mamtha
