User decision

[Kjetil Kilhavn]

Without a user ID you can't execute a work item, so either you have to =
use a
common user ID (not popular among security and revision people) or you =
have to
fake it through a background logon with (the same) common user.
If you use Notes or another scriptable mail program you can send a mess=
age and
get the decision there. Then you (well, actually the script of course) =
log on
with a common user and modify the workflow container before creating a
terminating event for the workitem that sent the message.
I wouldn't recommend it for security reasons (password distributed etc)=
, but you
can limit those issues by restricting the rights of the user you log on=
 with.
 
A better solution could be to have an executable program (not a script)=
 handling
all the SAP interaction so the password wouldn't have to be distributed=
 so
openly.
