AW: AW: Getting current agent (name) from workflow work item

Tue Jan 26 18:34:58 EST 2010

Sunni,

Is there a better way...? Actually, I'm wondering what your requirements
are.

Is it for a report to determine 'who is currently holding up the
workflows'?

If so, you might want to consider approaching it from the bottom up:
- find all dialog items currently in 'READY' status
- find their parents (or grandparents)
- filter the results to show only the workflow(s) you are interested in

Just a suggestion

cheers
Paul.

Hi Paul

Thanks for your reply, you're right and I've just realised that this
workflow does have subworkflows!!

---------
So Im thinking.

I take the top workitem that I have,
select from table swwwihead to find the child workitems of type F, (there
seem to be just two subworkflows started here always)
save these as the new 'top' work items in an internal table

select from swwwihead again for the first of the new work items (the new
top work item)
take the last entry of the list output type 'W' to represent the last
dialog work item
save this workitem nr

repeat the above step for the next 'top' work item of the parallel branch
for the other subworkflow, and save this work item nr

run the below function module 'SAP_WAPI_WORKITEM_RECIPIENTS' to get the
user/s for each derived work item
------------------

I would have to repeat this for potentially hundreds of line items just
before an alv list is output.

Is there a better way?

Best Regards
Sunni
