Ad-hoc agent not found error in approval preview applet

[Dart, Jocelyn]

Dave,
You have not most likely not coded your adhoc agent correctly for the approval preview.
Make sure you follow the pattern in ASBMANAGER and the other examples for when the "save" flag is off.
 
Also check ... you have assigned a user id as agent, that user is a possible agent of the
relevant task, that user is not an excluded agent.
Regards,
Jocelyn

Subject: SRM: Ad-hoc agent not found error in approval preview applet
 
Hi folks,
 
We are using the ad-hoc agent functionality using a copy of the ASBMANAGER
business object, recreating the 'Create' method to fill the Agents
attribute.
We have a 2 step workflow approval process and when  we create a shopping
cart and select 'Approval Preview' the first approval step (TS10008069)
displays 'no approval available' and the 'Ad-hoc agent not found' error
message in red. The second approval step displays our users correctly, which
also uses an adhoc agent object.
 
If we then select 'Order' or 'Hold' and go to Check Status for our shopping
cart and look at the applet via approval preview both approval steps are
displayed correctly !!
 
Anyone seen this type of behaviour before ?
 
Thanks for any help or tips to solve this one. By the way we have created an
OSS message as well to keep things official !!
 
Dave
