more informations about Workflow Test 4.6

[de Valensart Schoenmaeckers, Patrick]

Elena,
 
This confirms that SAP sells very expensive services from incompetent
consultants who cannot bring added value to their customers. Those
consultants (I guess that you are one of them...) may have successfully
completed the certification test, but they did not complete the goal of that
test, which in my opinion is just to proof that they are experienced and
have a deep & complete knowledge of workflow.
 
Your approach towards this certification test shows that you just want to
succeed in it, whatever the mean. And the mean you intend to use here is not
fair because it enables you to pass the test successfully without having the
proper knowledge.
 
How do you want to give proper advice to customers, or give proper
trainings, if you do not have the sufficient knowledge to do so (even if you
are supposed to)?
 
By the way, also, as already written by some people on this list :
- "I wonder if SAP might be interested in the fact that one of their people
is trying to hand-out answers to tests that are used for Certification of
Consultants? That truly is not very ethical!"
 
- "As far as I can recall from when I took the test last fall it was not
allowed to note down the questions and/or memorize them to publicize
them..."
 
- "Question 41: On a scale of 1 (couldn't care less) to 10 (very important),
how important is ethics in the corporate world within the IT business today
to people working with the following:
a) management
b) economy
c) system development
d) marketing
e) canteen services"
 
I do not thank you.

Hello Everyone,
 
I received a lot of emails asking me more about the wf test and Ill write
down some questions that I took note during the test.
This can be helpfull if you are intending to try the test. Im not sure about
the answers, SO, Ill just write the questions,
IF SOMEONE has an idea about  the answer, Ill be very gratefull to receive
an email !!!
 
-What is a template
-how can you improve performance
-deadline is client dependent?
-wf manager receives completed events?
-a ready workitem has never been executed?
-a reserved workitem is also in the substitute inbox?
-background step never requires dialog processing?
-how can I start a workitem via API
-vacancy job and vacancy position can have tasks?
- organizational manag is client specific
-Which stardard analises are from WIS?
-When should I activate an wf again? When I have a new step, new role, new
trig event?
-a single step task can start alone just with a trig event?
-you MUST always define a binding task-method?
-Selected agent are a subset of possible?
-when an activity step terminated by another step?
-what a simulate event does?
-how can I enhance perfomance?
-why should I use Function Module instead of events?
-Auto customizing can be done always?
-The transaction SWWB is for permanent monitoring?
-When a wf administrator receives emails?
-Compare virtual atributes wiht background methods
-where do i implement events?
-Why should i generate an object?
-Virtual can be multiline?
-assynchronous method has no result paramenter?
-a result can be linked to an exception?-
-What is a groupware?
-ASAP: what should I do before phototype?
-List asap wf phases
 
 
The test had much more questions than this ones, but I didnt have enough
time to take note of all.
 
A good guess is to study the bc610 hardly. I notice that many many questions
where from this manual.
 
PLEASE, IF SOMEONE KNOWS ANY ANSWERS, WRITE TO ME!!
