Stop deadline handling during runtime

[Frank Reichenbach]

Hi Stephan,
I do have a modelled deadline using container elements and setting the workitem obsolete in case a container element is set.
The problem is that I need to build a processs that has the possibility of stoping the deadline monitoring of a specific workitem, then do some changes on it (change its container or execute it or forward it to a different user) and under some circumstances reactivte the deadline handling for that WI again.
I found FM SWW_WI_DEADLINES_CHANGE but I am not really able to handle it properly. Plus I am not sure if it could be used once the deadline has been reached to set a new latest-end deadline.
I would be very thanksful, if I could do it using just the workflow itself but in this case I doubt that it can be done.
But thanks for your reply anyway!
 
Regards,
 
Frank
