Adhoc agent assignment

[PEOU Tom T]

Hi Ram,

What you want to do is create a task with a popup dialog step that
prompts the Approver to add other agents (approvers) and store them into
a container for use in your other steps.
To do this:
1. Create a task of Object = DECISION and Method = PROCESS. The name of
this task will be used as the description in your popup dialog step.
Record the Task Number.
2. In your main Object, create a new method (eg. Add_Approvers).
3. Your method parameters should be the Number of Agents to export. This
is Static, so you will need to know roughly how many approvers are to be
added. The agents should be WFSYST-AGENT.
4. You might want to add a selection return ok parameter of type
FIST-OPER.
5. In the program for the method, define your task (from step 1) as a
constant - This will create your popup box:
    CONSTANTS: k_general_task TYPE rhobjects-object VALUE 'TS92000146'.
6. Then instantiate the object type WF_TASK , using swc_create_object.
    Ensure that Select Multiple is set: 
    swc_set_element container 'SelectMultiple' 'X'.
7. Now call method 'Dispatch' (Display and Select Agent) from object
WF_TASK to read in the agents entered from step 5.
8. Check to see how many agents are selected.
9. Check to see if the 'US' is placed in front of the agent ID, if not,
then add 'US'.
10. Now just export out the agents to your parameters.
11. Use this method in a new task for your workflow.

I hope that helps. There maybe a better, quicker way to do it, but this
is one method.

Cheers,
Tom

Hi Tom,

Thank you very much for your response.

Yes, Approver should be able to add additional
approvers after he approves his workitem.

I don't think I can use decision step since current
approver will identify additional approvers based on
the trip data.

Regards,
Ram.
