<P><FONT SIZE=2>Hi Greg,</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>Yes I did. I set the mode on Call Transaction to 'N'. It seems to be working fine.</FONT>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>Did you test your function module in background?</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>Several SAP transactions behave differently in background mode, so I would check</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>into this first.</FONT>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>Hi,</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>I have created a workflow which is supposed to approve and release a</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>project. (PS module)</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>The workflow initiator gets to choose among different approval chains. Each</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>approval chain has up to five levels of approval. Each approval level is</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>set by updating the project's user status field.</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>I have created a sub-object type ZBUS2001 and a new method ApprovalProcess.</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>This method calls a function module which is simply a BDC program using call</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>transaction (transaction CJ20N) to update the user status field. The</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>function module has been tested successfully. It also works fine when I</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>test the method and the sub-object type. However, when I test the task</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>(User Status Update Task) individually using SWUS, which uses the new</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>method, the task fails (WF-BATCH executes SWW_BI_EXECUTE_S).</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>This is on R/3 4.6B. Any ideas?</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>Thanks,</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>Marlin</FONT>
