terminate if rule has no result -> workitem is NOT created?

[Paul.Bakker@osr.treasury.qld.gov.au]

WUG-ers,

What is the expected behaviour if a dialog workitem:

- uses a rule to determine agents
- this rule returns no agents (a function module returns exception
'NOBODY_FOUND')
- the 'Terminate if rule has no result' flag has been set?

I was expecting the workitem to error with a suitable message about rules
failing, but it doesn't.

Instead, the whole workflow goes into error, it puts an inscrutable message
in the log, and no dialog workitem is created at all.

The log message is this:

Executing flow work item
Work item 000000672197: Object FLOWITEM method EXECUTE cannot be executed
Executing flow work item
Error when processing node '0000000004' (ParForEach index 000000)

The workflow administrator would really have to be on the ball to figure
that one out!

My question: Is this a bug in SAP, or a feature? Or am I doing something
wrong?


We're on ECC6.0.

thanks
Paul
