Sending a Message

[Czerwiec, Phil]

Thanks for the response.  I have used this method also.  But I need a =
method that will be a background task where the agents will be assigned =
to 'AC Roles' on the Control Tab of the task.

Hi, Phil:
 
I have used exactly what Scott has described for many notifications. The
background task sends e-mail to users - the sender's email address is
whatever you have assigned to WF-BATCH.
 
Regards

Thanks Scott,  but I think a need to use a background task because I do =
not
need any type of response back. SELFITEM is a dialog method.

Hi Phil,
 
If your task uses object SELFITEM, method SENDTASKDESCRIPTION, the =
result
will be a mail item.  For this there is no role binding, the receiver(s) =
are
determined by container elements:
 
        ADDRESSSTRINGS (contains the id)
        TYPEID the type.
 
For sapuserids, place the userid in ADDRESSSTRINGS and set typeid to 'B'
For internet mail addresses, place mail address in ADDRESSSTRINGS and =
set
typeid to 'U'
 
If you want to send as a workitem, use method DISPLAYTASKDESCRIPTION.  =
This
will allow you to use role resolution for agent assignment.
 
Hope this helps,

Thanks to all.  I have tried these approaches.  Once I check the =
Background
Processing and return to the Control screen the agents assignments are =
no
longer available.

Phil, it really depends on your need to send information and what you =
need
to capture from the event.  I have used both SELFITEM, (pulls from a WI) =
and
STD_TEXT (which uses a typed message with desired parameters added).  =
There
are many other ways that I have seen emails sent.  If you have a =
business
object you are already using, you could just send a notification email =
from
that task to role based agents. (If in 4.6).
 
The best one, most generic is the Std_Text.  You create your own =
message.

Hello,
 
I am attempting to send a message (no decision) to users based using =
role
determination using a business object.  I can't find the correct Object =
and
method to use.  Any hints would be appreciated?
 
Thanks,
