What are Work Queues?

[Patrick D Green]

Mike,
 
If you need to have a look at individual worklists / queues to see why =
they
failed, transaction AR30 may be of some use to you.   As Phil suggests,=
 
AM_AI is the object type for an asset list associated with the Asset ma=
ss
change/retirement/transfer workflow.
 
Cheers,
-- Patrick.

Hi Mike,
 
Work queues are used to bundle up tasks into one workitem type "A". Thi=
s
workitem can be accessed independently but not from the workplace, or f=
rom
a
coupled workitem type "W" that behaves like any other workflow. The
workqueue is useful for when you want to mass process exactly the same
object the same way in a workflow, but each object has a unique instanc=
e.
Mass retirements of assets is one example.
 
To display the workqueue, from the technical display, use menu path Got=
o >
Type specific data.
 
Regards
 
Phil

Greetings,
Could someone be so kind as to enlighten me what a work queue is and wh=
ere
it may be used?
 
The SAP docs mention:
"List of objects that are to be processed once and together within a
specified period." - which is a bit generic.
 
They also state:
"Work queue work items are not displayed in the Business Workplace."
as well as
"Work queue work items are displayed in the Business Workplace."
....which now has me thoroughly confused.
 
A wee bit of background: Something has been configured in the past 6
months that activated some work queues today which have started to erro=
r
with no useful message and no object key. On a long shot, is anyone
familiar with Object Type AM_AI? This is the one that's failing, seems =
to
be part of Asset Management (4.7 IS Retail system).
 
Cheers
Mike
