Hi Mike, 
I'm on 6.40 and notice there are some new BADIs for GOS available that
look promising. 
Go to transaction SE18 and look for badis with the pattern *GOS*.
If you haven't used BADIs before - you have to create an implementation
of the BADI and activate it. 
Worth a look.

Let me know if they help. 
Regards,
Jocelyn

Subject: Big problem with the Document Relationship Browser! 

Hi all, 
We've just discovered what (for us at least) is a really nasty feature
in the
document relationship browser on 4.7/620: If a user looks at e.g. a
delivery,
they can see all it's associated workflows. 

This is good. 

BUT.... (I wouldn't be writing this if there weren't a 'but'), the DRB
looks at
the workflows and their objects and finds THEIR workflows. So, the
delivery has
an associated WF, which contains an EMPLOYEET object. Hey, all the HR
workflows
for this instance are visible, we can see this chap had a bonus payment
last
month! 

It gets worse: We use the tried and tested (trusted?) technique of a
deadline
object based on 'The Book' in all our workflows. Jolly good, so now all
WF's
that use the same deadline as our starting flow are also included in the
example above (this is a loooong list). From here there are other
deadlines,
and plenty of other objects (USR01, Cost centres etc... ). Basically one
can in
theory start at almost any random workflow instance and work one's way
to any
and all flows in the system. 

This is bad, very bad. 

Does anyonw have any wild theories on getting around this without
modifying
60-odd workflows which are already completed and released for QA? Of
course I
thought I was doing a good deed by using lots of objects all over my
workflows..... 

Any ideas desperately appreciated, (Have already trawled OSS....)
TIA, 
Mike
