Transport workflow and organizational structure

[Breslavets, Sergey]

Hi Enrique,
 
i am not sure it is the best approach, but here's how we do it:
 
1. We do not transport Org Structures - we maintain org structure =
directly in
PRD environment (as master data).=20
2. For testing purposes we usually create a fake org structures (with =
fake user
ids and position) in DEV and QAS that match our target one in =
production as
close as possible. We don't use real user ids for testing purposes in =
DEV and
QAS, so that the real people are not impacted by out tests (e.g. do not =
get any
funny email messages).
3. We try to use virtual attributes for agent assignment (instead of =
position or
user ids), so that the workflows are not dependent on particular =
implementation
of an Org structure (numbering).=20
 
hope this helps :)

Hi all.
 
We try to transport two workflows from DEV system, first to QAS system =
and
next to PRD system. The workflow use positions in agent assigment at =
step
level in workflow deinition. How I can transport the workflow?
 
First.
 
In production system., there is a partial organizational structure
created.The number range assigment is intern. If I create =
organizational
structure in DEV system, that is relevant for our workflows, when I
transport it to PRD, a problem may be occurs, because the ID of =
transported
object, exits in PRD. Furthermore, we don=B4t want, create all =
organizational
structure, in DEV system, because we haven=B4t all users in DEV system. =
We
should create only the organizational structure necessary to test =
purpose.
Any suggestions?
 
Second
If I maintain the organizational structure in PRD system,  how can I
modeling the workflow without organizational structure?=20
 
 
Which is the best approach?=20
 
 
Thanks in advance
