Agent Assignment in Task Definition - getting rid of general tasks!

[Martin Maguth]

hi sue:
 
what release are you on ?
 
if i understand correctly, you want to use a role, i.e. AC00000138, as the
assignment of possible agents in the task maintenance. this is not possible
because AC roles are part of the dynamic agent determination. they only
apply to selected agents, not to possible agents, because theoretically, a
diffent agent can be selected every time the workflow uses the role, see my
presentation at the fall conference. the AG role the system lets you use is
the role from the user profile (transaction SU01) which includes
authorizations etc.
 
as discussed during the expert panel, a job assignment (pd object type C)
might be the best way to avoid potential performance issues ...
 
i hope this helps. please let me know, if you need more info.

Subject:  Agent Assignment in Task Definition - getting rid of general
      tasks!
 
 
 
Hello all,
 
I am trying to get rid of the 'general' assignment for some workflow tasks,
as the experts have informed me that this will improve performance.  I want
to change the agent assignment in the task definition to the standard role
(which is also specified in the multi-step task in the 'agents' field.) SAP
doesn't seem to want to let me specify a role of type AC; in the 'choose
role' pop-up box, I can choose roles of object type AG but that's all.
 
Can anybody shed some light on what I am missing here ?
 
Thanks
Sue
