SWI1_COND for work item Start/End Conditions or Agent Determination/Rules?

Please what is the Function and Usage of workflow administration
transaction SWI1_COND?
Does this transaction:
(a) re-evaluate the conditions for work item start and work item end like
background job SWWCOND, and/or
(b) re-evaluate agent determination/rules for work item delivery like
transaction SWI1_RULE.
The documentation on transaction SWI1_COND is confusing:
Title: Check Conditions for Work Items
Description: You can use this function to repeat definition of the
recipients for a work item. A rule entered for the determination is also
re-executed.
Thank you very much.

Sue,
Another thought if it works in DEV but not QAS or PRD would be the
transports.
Maybe you should do a thorough review and synchronization check between DEV
and QAS to be sure that every object was transported properly, check the
details of the transport logs and return codes, make sure that all objects
were generated and activated, make sure that you transported every workflow
and non-workflow object that is needed for this workflow and non-workflow
functionality, rebundle and retransport the objects, maybe there are SAP
Notes that were applied in DEV but not yet moved to QAS/PRD?
Thank you.

Sheldon,
Thank you for your response. I am really struggling with this one!!
Yes, decision, then dialog with synchronous method then loop back to
decision task.
I thought about the adjusting of the workflow settings, but what confuses
me greatly is that it works in DEV, but not QAS or PRD, so I did not think
the workflow settings would be an issue.
I will look at the specific transaction behavior, but when I execute the
transaction outside of the workflow it does not seem to have any issues.
I have opened an OSS note with SAP....I just don't know what else to look
at.
Regards,
Sue Doughty

Hi Sue,
Does your workflow have a decision task, then a dialog task with a
synchronous method, then a loop back to the decision task?
The behaviour sounds like it might be related to Advance with dialog,
Confirm end of processing, or Method Synchronous/Asynchronous settings.
Maybe you could try adjusting these settings in your workflow and see what
happens?
If it works in DEV but not QAS or PRD, it could be related to the specific
transaction behaviour and the system being open for change or not.
Maybe you could try changing the workflow to replace the transaction with a
simple display dialog task and see what happens?
Regards.

Hi Rick,
I'm sorry.....If she makes a change, it comes back to the front screen with
the message at the bottom.

Hi Sue,
It doesn't ask if she wants to save her changes? (if she makes a change
and backs out of the transaction wholly outside of workflow)

When the user goes into the transaction itself

(Embedded image moved to file: pic23986.jpg)
And then backs out (like she does from the workflow), it goes back to the
screen that brought her into the transaction.

Hi Sue,
What if that same user in QAS or PRD goes into that transaction (not via
worklow) makes a change and then does Back?

We are in ECC 6.0, EHP4. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I have a very simple custom workflow. It loops until the user clicks the
Complete Workflow button.
(Embedded image moved to file: pic09161.jpg)
The first button takes the user into change mode of the custom transaction.
(Embedded image moved to file: pic18636.jpg)
When clicking the Green Arrow back in QAS or PRD, it returns to a blank
screen. In DEV, it takes the user back to the first screenshot above,
which is what should happen. Then the user can Complete the Workflow or go
back into the transaction.

Like I said, in DEV, the workflow works perfectly, but in QAS and PRD, the
blank screen appears. The user then has to go out of the workflow in-box
and back in before executing it again to get the decision steps again.
Sometimes there is a pop-up window that appears when exiting the
transaction saying that the data has changed and asking if the user wants
to save the changes. The pop-up will display in DEV, but not in QAS or
PRD. In QAS and PRD, it goes to the blank Decision screen.
(Embedded image moved to file: pic24767.jpg)
We have created a test user in DEV that has the user's security that is in
QAS. So, the security is the same in all three systems.
I feel like it must have something to do with the pop-up screen, but don't
know why that would display in DEV, but not QAS or PRD.
