in their in-box. So, if a user kept retrying daily, it would create a new

relationship between the two analogous to calling an RFC function in another
system: the caller submits a function call together with parameters and wait
for a response from the other system. After a certain period of time it assumes
that something has gone wrong and stops waiting and continues with a predefined
error handling process. There are no return parameters involved here. The
principle with both the RFC and calling workflows is a “black box”
- the caller does not know what happens inside the function or process
that it is calling, it's just interested in a result.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

perfect sense? Simple: because the calling workflow with the expiring deadline
does not know what state the subworkflow is in. It might be halfway through
processing and contain some invalid or garbage data. Therefore it definitely
should not bind anything back if it is the calling flow that terminates the
subflow. Another way to look at it is that the subflow is the only one

<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial'>I have a workflow (WF-1) that calls a sub-workflow
(WF-2). The sub-workflow (WF-2) has a Deadline on it. The
sub-workflow (WF-2) returns a multi-line container (MISSINGDOCS) back to the
calling workflow (WF-1). When the deadline is reached, the latest end
path in the workflow (WF-1) executes a BO SELFITEM, Task SENDTASKDESCRIPTION to
send notification to a Personnel clerk that shows which documents are missing.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;

<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial'>The MISSINGDOCS container contains a list of the documents
that are missing. I can see the MISSINGDOCS container being returned from
the sub-workflow (WF-2), but the container is empty when sent into the
notification step in WF-1.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial'>I have checked all the Import/Export parameters. The
task being executed for the SELFITEM BO has the MISSINGDOCS container as an
Import container. The MISSINGDOCS container is used in the Text
Description of the task.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial'>When I look at the log, the task shows the MISSINGDOCS
container as being empty for the SELFITEM task. I tried putting a
container operation right after the sub-workflow (WF-2) returns to the workflow
(WF-1) (before going to the SELFITEM task) to move the MISSINGDOCS container to
another container, but it is empty at that point also.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
