(check for existence of the WF_Initiator in that condition)? The workflow
could then continue if the object exists, and take some other path or simply
terminate if the object does not exist. It might be the simplest
solution.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

color=#0000ff size=2>There is a workflow that is triggered when the
OnHold Applicant action is executed. The Requested Start for the
workflow is six months from the date that work item is created. The
WF_Initiator will get a Decision task after six months, if the Applicant is
not put back in process. The decision will be either to Process or Reject
the applicant.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

color=#0000ff size=2>The problem is when the workflow starts the WF_Initiator
is, of course, there. But, if during the six months, he has left the
company the workflow will be haning because the Wf_Initiator's
userid will not be in the system anymore.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

color=#0000ff size=2>Instead of using the WF_Initiator as the agent for the
Decision task, I'm trying to create a rule that will find the user of the
position of the WF_Initiator. I would have the workflow terminate if
rule resolution has no result. I found function module
PDV_GET_POSITION_HOLDER, but can't get it to work -- I can't figure out what the
input for the rule should contain.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

months when the Requested Start is reached, would it re-check the rule to see if
there is a user for the position and fail if not found?</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

with a subtype of BUS2105...change doc BANF...but event upon creation does not
exist.<BR>2. Tried BSVX/BSVW to link event status to system status etc...Did not
find a way out.<BR>3. My client requires a workflow to be triggered when a PR is
created and that is when there is a default condition - "Release Indicator is
blocked" when it is created for first time.<BR><BR>Any help
