B2B 1.0B to EBP 2.0 - Hints/Tips

[Dart, Jocelyn]

Hi Thad,
If you've changed the  BBP 1.0B workflows in any way (apart from
start conditions of course), I suggest you copy the standard
EBP 2.0 workflows and reapply your changes to them.
You don't want to cut off the change approver, add approver, add reviewer
functions at all for shopping basket approvals in particular.
 
I'm not aware of any showstoppers, however make
sure you read the implementation guide carefully as many of the
EBP 1.0 workflows were replaced or retired in favour of new workflows.
 
For instance, all the BBP 1.0 workflows that used to report problems
to the BBP administrator are now replaced by the application monitors
- so there are now no workflows needed in this area at all.
 
In addition the underlying tasks being used have changed so double
check that you have agents assigned to all the correct tasks.
I always prefer to work my way through the workflow defintion to double
check I have caught all dialog tasks and assigned them.
 
Apart from that if you want to add additional steps to your workflow
be careful of how you are affecting the java applet approval display.
This is based on the workflow log, so if your extra steps work fine from
a workflow perspective but stuff up the approval display, mark the steps
as "step not in workflow log" and that should help.

Subject: B2B 1.0B to EBP 2.0 - Hints/Tips
 
 
Dear Workflowers,
 
We are at the very beginning of an upgrade project that will replace our
B2B 1.0B with EBP 2.0.
 
I wander about any potential showstoppers, as far as workflow is concern.
Obviously, we will also be open to any improvements available in EBP 2.0
(again, from the workflow perspective).
 
Any hints/tips will be greatly appreciated.
 
Regards,
Thad
