Getting wf initiator in a task where it's not binded

Tue Mar 8 16:31:47 EST 2011

Hi,

 If you look in the workitem container, you will find the '_Workitem'
object, which contains a 'Parent work item' object, which has the attribute
'Creator'.

If the parent is the original workflow, this 'Creator' field would hold the
workflow initiator.

cheers

Hi all
I'm looking for a simple way to get the workflow initiator to appear in
SBWP dynamic column.
The problem is that the relevant task does not have the wf initiator in the
container, so it's not available from the drop down.  I'm trying to avoid
making any changes to the workflow if possible.  The task does have the
work item id, work item creator etc

Is there some way I can reference the workflow container in SWL1 via this
task to get the wf initator, maybe via a clever expression?

Any suggestions would appreciated.

Thanks

Hi Krishna

Added the EX and works fine.

Hi,

I had this problem.

I was using condition statement &ZBUS7051.approvalreqflag& EX.  (The
possible values were 'X' and '')
The statement was working as expected in Dev and Q, but was giving
unexpected results in Prod. (Our Production system is much faster that Dev
and Q, does it point to something?)

To overcome this problem, I changed the possible values to 'T' and 'F'.
Then I used "wait for condition" for&ZBUS7051.approvalreqflag& EX to ensure
the attribute is populated.
Only after that I compared the values.

Let us know your findings.

Thanks

Hey Mike,

Thanks for input.

That BOR.attribute must be set to 'B' to start the WF in question. So, that
values 'was' B for Blocked. (VBUK-CMGST I think?)
VKM1 Release block, set to <whatever?> space, INITIAL, ?
Seen this before, but can't recall.

If I can't find my notes, I am going to just put in:
zBUS2032.Overall CreditStatus = 'D' or zBUS2032.Overall CreditStatus = or
zBUS2032.Overall CreditStatus = '' or zBUS2032.Overall CreditStatus = ' '
and call it a day.

But I hate trying to explain multiple trasnsports and then the question
comes up... why it works in dev not Q? We shouldn't be guessing why works
in one client and not another.

I will poke around in SDN and respond when I get back in ofc and in the
client in question. There is a reason, I will find it.
