Sending a Message

[Sheth, Neeraja]

If it is a background task, why would you have agents? All you need is
recipients, right? I am missing something.

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.

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,
