How to execute a missing deadline workitem

Wed Mar 22 06:44:15 EST 2006

Hi Jocelyn,

I read abt the 'Reevaluate rules on active workitem' which you had mentioned
sometime back.

As of 6.20/6.40 you should no longer use SWW_WI_AGENTS_CHANGE,
but use the special workflow header level event(Outcome) "Reevaluate
rules on active work items or the "Redo rules" option in the workflow

administrator transactions or the equivalent SAP_WAPI function modules
instead.

Much better and much much easier to use - especially the header
level event.

E.g. put your agents in a multiline container element, on deadline
reached, append your new agents to the container element then fire the

event.  Magic stuff!

Also helps to send a mail at the same time telling the original agents
that they have now been "dobbed in" to the next level above.

What I didnt understand above is, how to fire the event, u mean that
I should include the 'create event' step in the WF template ?
How do I sent a mail to the original agents at the same time ? Should I
create a new task to do this.

Please let me know.

Thanks in advance,
Ananth
