SWU3 - Maintain Workflow Administrator not working

[Sauceman Jr, James E (Jim)]

Lynne,

 

I experienced this issue when we were on Basis level 620. Since I did
not have a backup person at the time and I had more pressing projects,
it was an issue I tabled. After our recent upgrade to ECC 6.0 SAP_BASIS
700 level 11, it now works perfectly with a Work Center defined as the
Workflow Administrator. I thought the following note might help. Have
you seen it? 

 

SAP Note 860251 - Workflow administrator defined as a role

 

Solution 

 

"Check the length of the role name that you use as workflow
administrator. If the name exceeds 12 characters, use another name that
is not longer than 12 characters. Unfortunately, the workflow system
does not process names of organization objects that contain more than 12
characters."

 

Regards,

When customizing the Workflow Administrator you are allowed to enter a
position with users attached to the position, which we 
have done. We then set up auto-forwarding to get emails when we have
workflow errors. This was working great for years and 
until about 6 months ago it stopped working. 

We have tested all different things to make sure it was not an email
issue. We came to 
the conclusion that it works when a USER is set-up as administrator and
will not work with a POSITION or ORGANIZATION unit 
is there. Has anyone else had this problem?? If so how did you correct
it. 

 In our company it makes sense to put a position as administrator with
users attached. 
We are on SAP R3/E enterprise with latest SAP Basis Package  620 release
level 55.
