Notification e-mail across systems and technologies?

[Dart, Jocelyn]

Kjetil, 
 
There isn't an equivalent for GP yet.  You could use the extension options of extended notifications but - and here's the tricky bit - you would need to find a way to read the list of GP activities - which means getting cozy with CAF. 
 
An easier approach for now is to use the email notification Callable Object type in GP to send an email notification each time you send a work item . 
 
Just remember GP is still fairly young and just doesn't the same depth of features as in Workflow yet. 
 
Reagrds,
Jocelyn

Either I don't understand what you are telling me, or you don't
understand what I need.

Yes, I know I can use the forwarding address of users and send an
executable link in an e-mail, that is precisely what the standard e-mail
notification programs do, whether it is RSWUWFML2 (R/3 4.6C) or the
extended notification solution available in more recent versions.

I need a report which sends the same kind of notifications for Guided
Procedure tasks as the extended notifications solution (and RSWUWFML2)
sends for work items.

Alas, solutions you have implemented in ERP are not particularly
relevant. We already have notifications for work items, as I tried to
explain in my original e-mail.
