Error executing Agent Assignment

[Mark Pyc]

G'day,
 
Firstly, I hope this is a current discussion - I've just been swamped by a
weeks backlog of WUG messages, some of which I'd already received...?!?!
 
Anyway, I think you can break the chain by putting a dummy background step
(does nothing) in between. This will still allow the 're-evaluate' option,
but stop the rule/role being evaluated under the first users ID.
 
Have fun,
Mark

Has this anything to do with 'Advance with dialog' option being  checked?
 
Also, if you have a separate step to determine Agents, you will lose the
ability to re-evalaute Agents for the second dialog step.

Mike,
 
The second step in the workflow is defined as a dialog,  this is the
approval
step. My approach for determining selected agents for  this step is to
Select
and specify a Rule on the Activity Control Tab -  Agents field, for the
approval task. I was thinking that I wouldn't have to  build another step
for
agent determination, but maybe I  do.

Hi,
Your agent  determination method is defined as dialog. Make sure it is a
background  task and it will be executed by WF-BATCH.
Cheers
Mike
