Trigger the deadline event of a WI twice?

[Dr. Ulrich Mende]

Hi, Stephan-
thanks for your suggestion. I already use medelled deadline processing. Now-
if I include a wait-step, so I will get a new background item. In effect
that will mean the same workload as if I kill the dialog item and create a
new one with the same actual agent and a  new deadline set.
 
What I hoped so to find is the following. For one dialog item to enter the
deadline branch N times (N = 1, 2, 3...) until the item is COMPLETED or set
to obsolete. I hit on that idea after finding the field SWWWIHEAD-WI_LEESC,
which SAP describes as "The time in seconds, after that deadline processing
is to be repeated".
So one could very simply model the following szenario:
 
1. dunning at ...
2. dunning 3 days later
3. dunning 3 days later
4. set to obsolet 3 days later
 
Seams, that doesn' t work.   Best regards   Ulrich

> you need to model the deadline instead of just sending a reminder, if you
haven't done so already. in the deadline tab, select the modelled deadline
option, that will give you a new branch in the workflow.
> do the reminder using something like selfitem.sendtaskdescription (sends a
mail, workflow continues (to wait) after mail is sent).
> then a dummy to wait (like an existencecheck method with a requested start
deadline), and finally when you want to send the item to the manager, use
process control in the deadline branch to render the main workitem obsolete,
and in the obsolete branch of the workitem (fill in the event text of the
obsolete event in the event tab of the release step to make the new branch
visible in the flow), include the release step for the manager..
