_RULE_RESULT & Modelled Deadlines

[Cristiana D'Agosto]

Hi all,

we are in ECC 6.0

I am using a Rule to determine the approver and I have 2 modelled 
deadlines:
.. Requested End: After 5 days, send a reminder email to the approvers 
.. Latest End: After 7 days, send an email to the approvers' Managers.

I have read several threads suggestion that  when using a Rule in a 
decision step one could bind _Rule_Result back to a Workflow Container.

I also have read other threads suggesting that unfortunately the binding 
from _Rule_Result to a Workflow Container does not work unless the Taks is 
completed (i.e. no deadline will be triggered then).

Is that still the case or SAP has improved this? 

I can definetly see the _Rule_Result properly populated in the User 
Decision task, but the workflow element container that I did bind it to, 
it is empty.  : (

I was trying to avoid to have a step to retrieve the appeovers before the 
decision step, but might have to go that path.

It is a shame not being able to use _Rule_Result for modelled deadlines - 
am I missing something? Any suggestions? 

Much thanks and regards,

Cristiana
