select agent to exclude certain agents from the list

[Sushil Guragain]

Thanks Mark!

Please let me know if anyone else encountered this issue. I am raising an OSS message to SAP for now and will start the route of building a custom method.

Thanks,

Sushil

G'day Sushil,

Interesting. I was pretty sure this worked, but doing a quick test in a 4.7/620 system it doesn't. Looking at the code it doesn't look like it would.

Inside ALLAGENTSOFTASKGETANDDISPATCH there is a call to the methods ALLAGENTSOFTASKGET and DISPATCH (as the name would suggest). The code behind each of these are calls to function modules. It looks like there is an implicit binding missing.

The DISPATCH method seems to only filter excluded agents if the parameter NAMELIST is passed. In the combo method of ALLAGENTSOFTASKGETANDDISPATCH this doesn't seem to happen.

Assuming all this is true (it's only on the basis of 20 mins digging) then really SAP should fix it. Raise it as an OSS message. Presumably some others have hit this????

In the meantime though, it does look like you could relatively easily subtype the object and create your own Z method. The code could be a pretty straightforward copy, just make sure the NAMELIST container element is populated.

If someone has more first hand knowledge please speak up.

Have fun,
Mark
