Testing Workflow deadlines, wait steps, logically deleted cases etc.

[Krishna K Kammaje]

Hi Tom,

As written in my email, I am looking for a solution, where I do not have 
to get into technicals of a workitem. I am very well aware of changing 
deadlines.

Thanks
Krishna Kishor Kammaje

Hi Krishna,
 
You can change the deadline in the runtime environment by the following 
method:
1. Go to the workflow log for the instance required.
2. Click on the task with the deadline monitoring set.
3. Then click on the menu 'Goto' -> 'Technical Work Item Display'.
4. Select 'Edit' -> 'Change' from the menu.
5. You should have the option available to 'Change Deadlines'.
6. Update your deadline forward to a few minutes from now and as long 
as SWWDHEX is running, then that work item should hit the deadlines you've 
set. 
 
Cheers,
Tom

Hi friends 

Our functional testers usually find it tough to test workflow deadlines. 
Basically because, it involves changing the deadlines, sometimes testing 
logically deleted scenario, sometimes completing wait steps (ex: wait for 
two days). So they are dependent on technical team for performing these 
actions. 

What is the best way to get this done? 
Is there any option similar to changing sy-datum to simulate these 
deadlines? (I feel changing sy-datum itself can be very risky and can 
create db inconsistencies). I am looking for any other ways which 
functional testers can use, without actually getting into technical data 
of work items. 

Please share your experience. 

Thanks
