<DIV dir=ltr>Hi Rick,<BR><BR>You are correct, I am using process control to set
workitem to "obsolete".. since the task is not 'Completed' by any agent, and
agents have missed the deadline, do not want to use terminating event and
'Complete' the task.. My design is similar to following:<BR><BR><A

<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.
<BR><BR>Thanks<BR>Sudhir<BR><BR>
