CATS WORKFLOW

[Claude Bourque]

Not sure about ECC 6.0 but in good old Enterprise (4.7), the problem is
that in the CATS Data Entry profile config (table TCATS), you have to
insert the TS directly in a field. Thus, no WS, therefore, no easy way
to do deadlines and other neat things offered by the WS.
 
We tried using a bogus TS that simply calls a WS but that seems to
create other problems.
 
Debugging the CATS ABAP code reveals that SAP uses
SAP_WAPI_START_WORKFLOW to start the workflow using the TS inserted in
the TCATS table.
 
A CATS.CREATED event is also triggered in the code so you can't use that
event since the TS is already started.
 
I can say that you can use your own rule to determine agents because we
did and it works fine.
 
Hopefully, I haven't put a damper on your initiative.

Hi friends,

I've to do CATS approval workflow on ECC 6.0 and my functional asked me
to look into WS40001001. One thing I noticed is that of the two tasks in
the workflow one of the tasks TS20000495 is absolute; I mean it is not
available in the system. Also at present we don't have org structure so
I'm planning to write custom rule to determining agent from custom
table. Does this approach helps?. This is quite urgent requirement hence
client want it be done as soon as possible -not waiting for org
structure to set up as it will take another 5 months for that. 

Can you tell me what is the business object to be used also is there any
IMG config to be done?. If 'Yes' what are those. Points wll be awarded
to all useful answers. Thanks a lot friends
