The way you do that is to use the role to define the possible agents and then don't assign any agent at all in the task at run time. It will then go to all of the possible agents; i.e. your role.<BR>

Hope that helps,<BR>

<DIV>I tried the same a couple of years ago on a 6.20 system as well and my experience was the same. The agent type in <SPAN class=EC_correction id=EC_><SPAN class=EC_correction id=EC_>WFSYST-AGENT</SPAN></SPAN> <SPAN style="DISPLAY: inline-block"></SPAN>can only be the standard <SPAN class=EC_correction id=EC_><SPAN class=EC_correction id=EC_>HR</SPAN></SPAN> <SPAN class=EC_correction id=EC_><SPAN class=EC_correction id=EC_>org</SPAN></SPAN> objects like Job, Position, <SPAN class=EC_correction id=EC_><SPAN class=EC_correction id=EC_>Org</SPAN></SPAN> Unit etc. Definitely Role and Rule do not work that way.</DIV>

<DIV class=EC_AOLPlainTextBody id=EC_AOLMsgPart_0_44b05a31-101e-4e26-a286-fd95e82d864e><PRE><TT><SPAN class=EC_correction id=EC_><SPAN class=EC_correction id=EC_>G'Day</SPAN></SPAN>,
I just noticed that one cannot use a role in an agent expression. Can
anyone confirm whether this is supposed to be so or if it's a bug? The
<SPAN class=EC_correction id=EC_><SPAN class=EC_correction id=EC_>docs</SPAN></SPAN> are quiet on the matter.
e.g. in the <SPAN class=EC_correction id=EC_><SPAN class=EC_correction id=EC_>WF</SPAN></SPAN> builder I can assign agent type role and assign <SPAN class=EC_correction id=EC_><SPAN class=EC_correction id=EC_>ZMYROLE</SPAN></SPAN>.
Recipients are all users with role <SPAN class=EC_correction id=EC_><SPAN class=EC_correction id=EC_>ZMYROLE</SPAN></SPAN>, great.
If I create a container element Agent type <SPAN class=EC_correction id=EC_><SPAN class=EC_correction id=EC_>WFSYST-AGENT</SPAN></SPAN> and assign
<SPAN class=EC_correction id=EC_><SPAN class=EC_correction id=EC_>AGZMYROLE</SPAN></SPAN>, the WI ends up with nobody on our 6.20 system.
Of course one can work around this by an extra step/attribute, but just
wondering whether why I should have to.
Cheers,
Mike
