BUS2007 Terminating Event

[Becker Stephan (extern)]

Hi Gordon,
 
as always, there are many ways to skin that particular cat. Try on this one:
 
Put the release step in an until loop and set a variable (any container
variable you create yourself based on any data element from the dictionary)
after the "request more information" event. Step type container operation
will do that nicely. Then query the container element in the until loop and
go back to the start if it's set. Don't forget to reset the variable (again
with a container operation) before you go into the release step again,
otherwise it'll only work once :-)
 
An alternative would be to use wait events and event creations, or you could
simply put the "order change" task behind the "request more information"
event and ensure the release is restarted after the change. The latter one
is a very attractive possibility as you might want to have a "wait for
change" event in the top fork of the workflow anyway so that the release
procedure is restarted in case a relevant change is made to the order after
one or more release levels have occurred (only really in the case of
multiple releases).
 
If you get stuck, let us know.
Enjoy,
Stephan

Subject: BUS2007 Terminating Event
 
 
I am working on PM Order workflow. Once the Order is created it is sent to
the manager as a Task BUS2007 Edit . The manger has 3 choice for the order.
1. Release it --> event is release
2. Do not execute --> event is complete
3. Request more information. (what event can I use?)
 
This is my problem. I want the workflow to enter a loop return to the
initiator to make changes to order.  I am thinking there should be some
event to reflect looking at the order making some change to the associated
notification. Then send it back to the Initiator.
 
I am just new to this workflow gig.
 
Thx in advance......
