Sending emails in workflows

[Getliffe, Daniel]

Hi Werner,
 
It is not possible to define the sender as a variable with the SELFITEM.SENDTASKDESCRIPTION method.  You will need to create a new method using the MESSAGE and RECIPIENT business objects.  You need to create an instance of the MESSAGE object containing the content required for the message and then instances of the RECIPIENT object for the sender and recipients.
 
I think there is probably an Object Oriented ABAP way of doing this with classes now (it was a while ago that I did it) as I had a quick look at the help - go to help.sap.com and into the Enterprise help and then search for Business Communication Services and Senders and Receivers and there should be information about achieving this.
 
Regards,
 
Dan.

Greetings,
 
I am using method SELFITEM.SENDTASKDESCRIPTION for sending emails.
The sender is always the user wf-batch.
Is it possible to define the sender as a variable, i.e. the workflow initiator?
 
best regards
