Agent assignment for a background task required

[Sample, Rick]

I will have to test in 4.6c but in ECC6 I created a couple of local BG
tasks and 
ran through the below steps. I refreshed buffs several times. 

I create brand new BG task never touching the agent assignment, and 
execute the SAP_WAPI_START_WORKFLOW. It fails every time with 
no agent assignment. 
I switch to FG, set as General and it starts fine. 
I switch back to BG type and try to remove the agent assignment but 
never fails again due to no agent assignment. (Permanently set now?
Seems to be)

>>background task should always execute.
This is what I thought was supposed to happen and 
I was testing because it failed to start the BG task. 

If I do not change the agent assignment to General (at least in ECC6) it
will fail 
to start using SAP_WAPI_START_WORKFLOW. 

Any other clues? 
Rick

Rick,
Sounds like the problem was in your original scenario - perhaps a
forgotten buffer refresh or something. The rest you describe behaves as
it should. A dialog task shouldn't error because of missing agents and a
background task should always execute.
Why not create a new task based on same object and try it.
Cheers,
Mike
