Rule using function module SWX_GET_MANAGER

[Jim D Hill]

My problem is putting the results into a container after the rule runs. The
rule
only allows imports correct ?  I need a way to hold onto that agent to use
later
on in the workflow.

I would suggest creating your own rule FM.  In addition to the imports
for the org objects, add another container element for levels up.  Then
in your function loop the call to SWX_GET_MANAGER "levels" times.  This
would get rid of the need for nasty background steps.
 
Cheers,

The problem I am having is moving the manager from the rule back to the
work flow.
Since we are not using version 6.X or above I cant move the manager back
in
the _rule_result
container.
 
Thanks,
Jim

Hi Jim,
Really depends on the manager you're looking for. You can either bind
the
actual agent from your first approval back to the workflow and feed that
into the next rule, or you can evaluate them independently.
Option 1 is simple and takes substitution/multiple recipients into
account.
Option 2 requires a custom method (FM RH_GET_ACTORS) and two background
steps.
Cheers
Mike
