<BR>
Thanks in advance.<BR>
<BR>
Best regards,<BR>

<DIV dir=ltr align=left><SPAN class=EC_054094722-11022009><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff>One option is to use a UWL XML configuration file to override the standard decision step actions with your own actions. Just make sure whatever you call either closes the workitem (e.g. by calling a WAPI) or sends an event which lets your workflow know that the workitem is obsolete.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<P class=EC_MsoNormal><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Tahoma','sans-serif'">My business case is as following:</SPAN></P></DIV>
<DIV>
<P class=EC_MsoNormal> </P></DIV>
<DIV>
<P class=EC_MsoNormal><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Tahoma','sans-serif'">A user logs on to MSS, and will get a decision step as a workitem in his UWL.</SPAN></P></DIV>
<DIV>
<P class=EC_MsoNormal> </P></DIV>
<DIV>
<P class=EC_MsoNormal><STRONG><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Tahoma','sans-serif'">STEP 1:</SPAN></STRONG></P></DIV>
<DIV>
<P class=EC_MsoNormal><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Tahoma','sans-serif'">The decision step will have 3 choices:</SPAN></P></DIV>
<DIV>
<P class=EC_MsoNormal><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Tahoma','sans-serif'">1. Go to URL A</SPAN></P></DIV>
<DIV>

<DIV>
<P class=EC_MsoNormal><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Tahoma','sans-serif'">3. Exit</SPAN></P></DIV>
<DIV>
<P class=EC_MsoNormal> </P></DIV>
<DIV>
<P class=EC_MsoNormal><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Tahoma','sans-serif'">Choice 1 and 2 will be continued by another activity step (call_url). Call_url is a method which calls the FM Call_browser (displaying a certain URL in the browser).</SPAN></P></DIV>

<P class=EC_MsoNormal> </P></DIV>
<DIV>
<P class=EC_MsoNormal><STRONG><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Tahoma','sans-serif'">STEP 2:</SPAN></STRONG></P></DIV>
<DIV>
<P class=EC_MsoNormal><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Tahoma','sans-serif'">When the user clicks on "Go to URL A", the system should launch the URL(call_url method is called) without having to open a new workitem called "Call URL".</SPAN></P></DIV>
<DIV>
<P class=EC_MsoNormal> </P></DIV>
<DIV>
<P class=EC_MsoNormal><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Tahoma','sans-serif'">As you probaby know, UWL doesn`t support "synchonous dialog chain" / "advance in dialog".</SPAN></P></DIV>
<DIV>
<P class=EC_MsoNormal> <SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Tahoma','sans-serif'">Secondary method (amodal method) is a workaround.</SPAN></P></DIV>

<P class=EC_MsoNormal><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Tahoma','sans-serif'">Question:</SPAN></P></DIV>
<DIV>
<P class=EC_MsoNormal><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Tahoma','sans-serif'">The best solution would of course be, if there is a possibility to make step 1 continue directly to step 2 without having to go through another workitem (a seamless transition - like using "advance in dialog" in Business Managers Workplace).</SPAN></P></DIV>
<DIV>
<P class=EC_MsoNormal>How can this be done?</P></DIV>
