<font size=2 face="sans-serif">Hi there Hari,</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">I had exactly the same requirement at
my previous employer. </font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">Let me describe the scenario:
</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">We had a workflow process to create
invoices, and during the processing of the invoices via the workflow there
were several "rounds" of attachments notes made by different
people during the "life" of the workflow. We were also
archiving workflows and discovered (and it was confirmed by SAP, at the
time) that attachments created during the workflow process were not archived
along with the workflow tables (swwwihead, swwloghist, etc...) </font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">These notes were deemed very important
to the business since most of note attachments were very relevant to the
process (why was it being held, internal notes, need for info, etc... etc...)
and were often reviewed for audit purposes.</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">The way I got around it was by "moving"
or "relating" those attachments created in the workflow to another
object using GOS (Generic Object Service) techniques. I actually
gave a presentation on this at ASUG a few years ago (around 2005-6 or so.)
In our case this worked very well because every workflow had
a business object created that we could "attach" these notes
to, which is usually how they got to the archived workflow log anyway.</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">Let me know if this sounds like it may
work for you and I'll see if can dig up the presentation on that.</font>
<br>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">Regards,</font>
<br>
