Interactive Forms(Adobe) workflows with the Enterprise 4.7 backendsystem

[Kjetil Kilhavn]

Since we don't use 4.7 and I haven't been working on our 6.x systems I can not help you with the details, but I can ask you a question :-)

Isn't your primary problem that they use a 4.7 system - meaning that they wouldn't want to have the workflow running there?
If the workflow *can* run in the NW04 system, wouldn't it be just as easy to set up ALE for the organisation hierarchy as it would be to create RFC FM's which perform the role resolution on the 4.7 system.
