container element definitions

[Dart, Jocelyn]

Hi Andy, 
Mike's reply is correct for the generic case, but EBP is a different
animal. 
EBP has special coding to cope with approval preview functionality,
restart functionality, etc. Depending on your release level and which
EBP SC approval workflow you are using, and even what buttons/tabs/links
the user presses, the attribute may be called/instantated several times.


If you are considering creating your own copy of ABSMANAGER to supply
your own agents you should therefore make sure that the same agents are
determined for the given criteria regardless of when, where, and how
often the Create method is actually called.  One simple way of doing
this is to determine your agents in a virtual (multiline) attribute of
(your subtype of) the shopping cart object BUS2121, and then use your
ABSMANAGER Create method to simply retrieve the attribute from the
shopping cart object.

Hope that helps. 
 
Regards,
Jocelyn

If the Agents of an activity are determined from an expression
refering to an attribute of a 'Business Object' are the values in the
attribute determined when the WI is executed?  Or  when the Bus Obj is
first instanciated (ie when the Wf starts), or both?

(I am looking at the ABSMANAGER object in the EBP SC approval Wf)
