EBP 3.5 AdHoc agent

[Dart, Jocelyn]

Yes, you are missing a couple of releases.

There's a BADI to do this in EBP 5.0.  Before then you see possible
agents of the task only.  

If you are ok to do mods, I can provide a project solution write up for
you on an all care no responsibility basis.

One last piece and I mastered my the SC process: If I add a additional
adhoc approver, it let me choose from ALL users even I assigned only a
specific org.unit to the anchor task TS10008214. I was expecting that
the group of potential approvers to choose from will be limited (similar
to how the predefined approval step works). 
Is there anything I'm missing?

Thanks so much!

I also would like to mention that it is pretty impressive what SAP
delivered this time w/ the EBP templates. I definitly will keep
promoting it!!!

Tom

Hi Tom, 
If you are in EBP you use the BADIs 90% of the time (well it certainly
feels like it).  Fortunately there are dozens of BADIs - I'm at one site
where we are up to using about 40 odd BADIs.  

There's a BADI BBP_DOC_CHECK_BADI - I'm 99.9999% certain that there will
already be an implementation of this BADI for the shopping cart object
BUS2121 unless this is day 1 of your project.  Do your check there.  

All the good workflow routines for EBP are function modules BBP_PDH_WFL*
you need something like an approval simulate function to find the same
details that you see in the approval preview.  You can then check
whether a inserted task (use the task id) has been added and who has
been assigned. 

Be aware that EBP has its own routines to evaluate event linkage, agent
assignment, approval preview etc. If you don't follow the workflow
patterns you are in serious trouble because all sorts of functions won't
work the way you expect.  If you can stick with one of the standard
scenarios count yourself fortunate. Otherwise be extra careful to keep
it as close to the standard workflow as possible, up to and most
especially including using ad hoc agent assignment objects. 



Have fun!

Jocelyn,

I'm looking forward to the revolution:)
The developer is on vacation this week, so I guess the execution needs
to wait a little.
However, I'm a Old school workflow dude and therefore didn't use Badis a
lot.
