<P><FONT SIZE=3D2>Marlin,</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=3D2>Sounds like an WF-Batch user authorisation problem. =
You can check by copying</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=3D2>to a dialog user and then try to execute the method =
with this dialog user.</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=3D2>I had some problems after my upgrade to 46c with the =
PD structural</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=3D2>authorisation changes in combination with the rfc =
user, which resulted in</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=3D2>the same problems you are describing.</FONT>
</P>
<BR>
<P><FONT SIZE=3D2>Hope this helps,</FONT>

<P><FONT SIZE=3D2>Hi,</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=3D2>I have created a workflow which is supposed to =
approve and release a</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=3D2>project. (PS module)</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=3D2>The workflow initiator gets to choose among different =
approval chains. Each</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=3D2>approval chain has up to five levels of =
approval. Each approval level is</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=3D2>set by updating the project's user status =
field.</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=3D2>I have created a sub-object type ZBUS2001 and a new =
method ApprovalProcess.</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=3D2>This method calls a function module which is simply =
a BDC program using call</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=3D2>transaction (transaction CJ20N) to update the user =
status field. The</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=3D2>function module has been tested successfully. =
It also works fine when I</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=3D2>test the method and the sub-object type. =
However, when I test the task</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=3D2>(User Status Update Task) individually using SWUS, =
which uses the new</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=3D2>method, the task fails (WF-BATCH executes =
SWW_BI_EXECUTE_S).</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=3D2>This is on R/3 4.6B. Any ideas?</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=3D2>Thanks,</FONT>
