_RULE_RESULT binding

[Sample, Rick]

Thomas,

 

Sorry, I may be jumping into the middle and I may be missing something
but I don't see the issue. 

How is the task terminating? By the deadline itself? i.e. an actual
agent does not have to execute 

the task for it to complete?

 

>>Ran into the same issue, if the work item is executed then the

An 'actual agent' executed the task, and you have an agent. 

 

>>But if not executed, like when a deadline is reached, you get nothing
- very annoying.

If the deadline is reached, and no 'actual agent' executed the task, I
would think 

you would not want to populate the _Rule_Result. Would only have
WF-BATCH as the agent 

because WF-BATCH is the user that tripped the Deadline. Not an agent. 

 

Sudhir,

>>note can not be applied as it doesn't match correct version. 

Hmmm... What version are you on? Service Patch level?

 

I will be upgrading another 4.6c to ECC6 soon, so I have interest in
this issue you are experiencing. 

The last system I do not believe I had this scenario.

Sudhir,

 

Ran into the same issue, if the work item is executed then the
_Rule_Result is populated and you have what you need.  But if not
executed, like when a deadline is reached, you get nothing - very
annoying.

 

I had to add a background step to return the rule agents before routing
the escalation to managers or sending an SAP notification to agents.
Some of these were responsibilities type rules so had to create a method
to find agents since there was no corresponding function module to
execute.  

 

Would have been a lot easier/cleaner if _Rule_Result was populated!

 

Regards,

Thomas Maue

Hi All, 

I am on ECC 6.0 system.. I want to get result of agent determination
rule into workflow container so that I can send all these users reminder
email once the deadline is reached. 

In earlier systems, it used to work fine.. but now, no values are being
passed to workflow container even though the binding is correct. I tried
to apply SAP NOTE 707767 but it says, note can not be applied as it
doesnt match correct version. 

any suggestions on how to fix this issue? I can always create a new step
and a method to find out list of agents selected, but wanted to do it
the right way..

thanks
Sudhir
