AW: Passing the list of assigned agents to a workflow rule

[Mintchev Alexander, Mag.]

Hello!

1.) A workflow step may contain a list of assigned agents that is determined at design time. All of these agents are allowed to perform the step.
2.) At run-time, however, a worklfow rule (in my case in the form of a functional module) can specify the exact agent to perform the step.


Normally, there is not a (direct) relationship between (1) and (2). Whowever, if the agent determined in (2) does not belong to the set of agents in (1), the workflow remains without a responsoble agent at this step. It is then visible in the transaction swi2_adm1, but no agent recieves the workflow item in their workplace.


The question is: How can a pass the list from (1) to (2)? Is is contained in a standard wf container variable, and if yes, what is it called?


Thank you!

Hello,

I'm not sure I understand your problem.
No matter how your agents are determined, surely you can pass all the
required information to a step preceding the workitem in question? If
not, what is stopping you from doing that?
