Hello Jocelyn and Phil,
 
Thanks a lot for your help in sorting out my knowledge on the subject. The
explanations offered are exactly what I was looking for.

Hi Thad,
Re your last question:
  If I want to send workflow documents only (out of a mail step, NOT the
   workitem notifications) to Lotus Notes - would it be sufficient to run
   just RSCONN01, without running RSWUWFML earlier?   Do I care for
   WF-BATCH email address in this case ?
 
If you just want to use a SEND MAIL step to send emails from workflows out
to Lotus Notes then
no you don't need RSWUWFML, but you do still need RSCONN01.  The WF-BATCH
email address becomes the sender address of the email and is still needed.

Your questions   are: See answers....
 
   Do I still have to run RSCONN01, after running RSWUWFML, in order to
   deliver those notifications to our email system, which is Lotus Notes
   based?
 
        RSWUFML generates mail messages, RSCONN01 sends them. (Calls
mlunxsnd)
        Assuming SCOT has been setup so that RFC destination is called.
        This RFC destination should call MLUNXSND or some other RFC
compliant
        Program.        See Internet mail gateway help on the Docu CD.
 
 
   Does WF-BATCH have to have its own valid Lotus Email address specified
   under SU01, and if so, what is the purpose for it?
 
        A restriction was made that the sender should have a valid Internet
mail address
        maintained. How relevant that is questionable.
DoNotReply at Company.com is always
        an option.
 
        It doesn't need to be wf-batch. Perhaps BatchAdm or some other user
is better.
        Schedule RSCONN01 to run regularly under the user ID of BATCHADM
for example.
 
 
   Do the agents need to have their Lotus Notes email addresses specified
   under SU01, or specifying such addresses under forwarding tab of the
   workplace office settings is sufficient?
 
        This question depends on how overall Mail/SAPoffice  settings are
set in the
        system.  You should check transactions So13,SO16 and So36.
        Pay careful attention to the MAIL SY.Grp tab in SO16. This then
influences
        whether automatic forwarding addresses are necessary or not.
        Again, a read of the docu in this section of SAP-Office is
recommended.
 
 
   If I want to send workflow documents only (out of a mail step, NOT the
   workitem notifications) to Lotus Notes - would it be sufficient to run
   just RSCONN01, without running RSWUWFML earlier?   Do I care for
   WF-BATCH email address in this case ?
 
        What do you mean by workflow document. Do you regular Emails
documents (notifications)
        in the users inbox. Then with the correct settings in
SO16/So36/So13 RSCONN01 will forward these.
        Watch the delete on forward option in SO13 ! Cleverly worded to
also place in inbox !!!

Hi All:
 
I would appreciate a lot if someone could help me with the  RSWUWFML versus
RSCONN01 questions, as well as the usage of the email addresses associated
with that technique.
 
I understand that  RSWUWFML can be used to send notification to workflow
agents Lotus Notes address, so that they are aware of workitems in their
workplace in-boxes.
 
My questions are:
 
   Do I still have to run RSCONN01, after running RSWUWFML, in order to
   deliver those notifications to our email system, which is Lotus Notes
   based?
   Does WF-BATCH have to have its own valid Lotus Email address specified
   under SU01, and if so, what is the purpose for it?
   Do the agents need to have their Lotus Notes email addresses specified
   under SU01, or specifying such addresses under forwarding tab of the
   workplace office settings is sufficient?
   If I want to send workflow documents only (out of a mail step, NOT the
   workitem notifications) to Lotus Notes - would it be sufficient to run
   just RSCONN01, without running RSWUWFML earlier?   Do I care for
   WF-BATCH email address in this case ?
