make sure it is done, before passing control to the next workflow step. I found
that I sometimes have to refresh the business object prior to the edit loop. To
do that, I just added a method to read the business object and pass back the
container data.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV></DIV>What is the task the user has to do?<BR> <BR>One option is not
to use the SELFITEM.DISPLAY and just ask the user to do something.
<BR> <BR>Instead, you can send the message with the task he has to perform.
If this task is asynchronous, you are done. If it is not, <BR>you can create a
loop on your workflow that will check if the task was done and send the
message again if it was not.<BR> <BR>The option to use the "confirm end of
process" is ok to, but the user can always left the message doing
nothing.<BR> <BR>Regards,<BR>Flávio.<BR>> Subject: How to make a

SAP-WUG@mit.edu<BR>> From: Paul.Bakker@osr.treasury.qld.gov.au<BR>> Date:
Thu, 29 Mar 2007 17:29:28 +1000<BR>> <BR>> Wuggers,<BR>> <BR>> I
would like to send a notification workitemto a user (a simple piece of<BR>>
text, with an instruction: eg 'Please do X').<BR>> <BR>> That's easy. But
I would also like the workitem to _stay_ in their inbox<BR>> until they've
done it. How do you achieve that?<BR>> <BR>> I thought I could do it with
a terminating event (X_IS_DONE), but the<BR>> notification task is based on
SELFITEM.DISPLAY, which is a synchronous<BR>> method.<BR>> As far as I
understand it, synchronous methods terminate once executed, and<BR>> do not
need to wait for the terminating event.<BR>> <BR>> Is there a better
approach? Would I need to build a new, asynchronous<BR>> version of
SELFITEM.DISPLAY?<BR>> <BR>> thanks for your thoughts,<BR>> Paul
