<div dir="ltr">Sure Rick.. would be great.. my release is<br>SAP_BASIS 700 0013 SAPKB70013 SAP Basis Component<br><br>I created a method using FM "SAP_WAPI_WORKITEM_RECIPIENTS"..

<br>can not use After Method on the task since no one is executing the workitem when the deadline is reached. It is being set as obsolete. <br><br>do let me know if you can get the binding to work and get _RULE_RESULT values back to workflow container in your release. <br>

<div dir="ltr">Hi Rick,<br><br>I understand that WF-BATCH would be the user that
would set workitem as obsolete. Let me explain the scenario:<br><br>workitem is
in the inbox of say 5 users determined by a agent determination rule. as per
thomas email, when any one of them executes the workitem, we know "Executed By"
user as well as list of these 5 users in workflow container if we have a binding
between _RULE_RESULT and a workflow container element.<br><br>Issue is, if we
have a modeled deadline.. and WF-BATCH sets workitem to obsolete status using
process control step. In this case, we still need list of those 5 users who had
the workitem in their inbox. So that we can send them an email saying, they have
missed the deadline. In this scenario, contents of _RULE_RESULT are not
transfered to workflow container even if we have correct binding. <br><br>hope
that explains the situation. I am also in the process of creating a method and
background step to read agents of the workitem to avoid this problem.
<br><br>Let me know if there is another solution to keep the design clean.

<p><font size="3" face="Times New Roman"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Hi All,
<br><br>I am on ECC 6.0 system.. I want to get result of agent determination
rule into workflow container so that I can send all these users reminder email
once the deadline is reached. <br><br>In earlier systems, it used to work
fine.. but now, no values are being passed to workflow container even though
the binding is correct. I tried to apply SAP NOTE 707767 but it says, note can
not be applied as it doesnt match correct version. <br><br>any suggestions on
how to fix this issue? I can always create a new step and a method to find out
list of agents selected, but wanted to do it the right
way..<br><br>thanks<br>Sudhir</span></font></p></div></div></div></div><br>_______________________________________________<br>SAP-WUG
