sure about ECC 6.0 but in good old Enterprise (4.7), the problem is that in the
CATS Data Entry profile config (table TCATS), you have to insert the TS directly
in a field. Thus, no WS, therefore, no easy way to do deadlines and other neat
things offered by the WS.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

tried using a bogus TS that simply calls a WS but that seems to create other
problems.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

CATS.CREATED event is also triggered in the code so you can't use that event
since the TS is already started.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

say that you can use your own rule to determine agents because we did and it
works fine.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

friends,<BR><BR>I've to do CATS approval workflow on ECC 6.0 and my functional
asked me to look into WS40001001. One thing I noticed is that of the two tasks
in the workflow one of the tasks TS20000495 is absolute; I mean it is not
available in the system. Also at present we don't have org structure so I'm
planning to write custom rule to determining agent from custom table. Does this
approach helps?. This is quite urgent requirement hence client want it be done
as soon as possible –not waiting for org structure to set up as it will take
another 5 months for that. <BR><BR>Can you tell me what is the business object
to be used also is there any IMG config to be done?. If 'Yes' what are those.
Points wll be awarded to all useful answers. Thanks a lot friends<BR>-Nash
