Workflow background task using a DIA work process?

[Morris, Eddie]

Hi Krishna,

A background step in workflow will always use a dialog WP and not a background. This is standard behavior.

A background WP is never used. In workflow it is called a background step but this means it will not have any user interaction rather than be executed like a background job.

If you want to control the amount of dialog WP used then take a look at note 742042 and the parameter disp/rfc_min_wait_dia_wp.

Also look at note 888279 and maybe consider registering your workflow RFC destination in SMQS.


Regards,
Eddie

Subject: Workflow background task using a DIA work process?

Hi,

Recently our basis team complained that there are too many DIA work processes occupied by WF-BATCH user. I found that this is caused by a recently introduced new WF task, which calls a custom FM. But the task is marked as "Background" and Synchronous. So as I understand, it should not take a DIA work process but a BTC work process (background).

Please let me know your views.

Thanks
