Passing the list of assigned agents to a workflow rule

[Steffen Schloenvoigt]

Hi Alexander,

you usuall go just with a Background Task that call the Method
GENERICINSTANTIATE on the BOR Object Type SYSTEM and OBJECTKEY pass
the ID of the Foreground Task (e.g. "TS901234") and as OBJECTTYPE
'WF_TASK'. This will return you the object of the Foreground Task
which you could store in the Workflow Container e.g. as FG_TASK .
In the Foreground Step you could then just use the expression
&FG_TASK.ALLAGENTSOFTASK& to access the list of possible Agents for
that task.

Hope that helped.

Best regards
Steffen

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.
