Separate workitems for same workobject

[Mark Pyc]

G'day James,
 
You need to list your SAPPOSITION element as the driving multiline element
of the step. On the 'Other' tab of the step list the element as controlling
the dynamic parallel processing.
 
Then when you assign the position as an expression, a work item will be
created for each line of the table.
 
Just to clarify, what you've got at the moment is a single Workitem which
is visible to two agents. There is only 1 workitem, which is why when the
first person executes it it disappears from all inboxes. This is a
fundamental difference between emails  and workitems.
 
When you set it up as above you will create two workitems each of which has
only a single position as the selected agent.
 
Have fun,
Mark

Need to send two separate workitems for the same workobject.
Have set workflow container SAPPOSITION as import, export, MULTILINE.
 
Container operation1 sets SAPPOSITION as the following:
SAPPOSITION
=     Assign (contents of table are deleted first)
S 10005871
 
Container operation2 sets SAPPOSITION as the following:
SAPPOSITION
<-    Add only to table (contents are extended)
S 10005892
 
Next is an activity to method for change material (Subtype ZBUS100106
delegated from BUS100106).
This is issuing two workitems as desired, but they are being issued under
the same workitem number.
So when the user for <S 10005871> has completed his activities they delete
the workitem.
Since they are issued under the same workitem number user <S 10005892> has
lost his workitem.
 
>From 'the book' page 119 it states that "There are many ways to CREATE
MULTIPLE WORKITEMS.....For instance you can use a list (a multiline
container element) assigned to a step in your workflow to CREATE MULTIPLE
WORKITEMS, one for each item in the list.
 
>From this, I would assume that each multiline container element would have
to be assigned it own unique workitem number.
Any assistance is appreciated.
