Background documentationConfigure Workflow Tasks

 

As a prerequisite you have made the necessary general settings for workflows and defined the organizational plan in Customizing for SAP NetWeaver under Start of the navigation path Application Server Next navigation step Business Management Next navigation step SAP Business Workflow End of the navigation path. Ensure that the active type linkages for Material (BUS2250) are set correctly. Follow the instructions in Customizing for MDG under Start of the navigation path General Settings Next navigation step Process Modeling Next navigation step Workflow Next navigation step Activate Type Linkage End of the navigation path. For object type BUS2250 check that the Type Linkage Active indicator is active for the events CREATED, ACTIVATED, and ROLLED_BACK. In addition, check that the Enable Event Queue indicator is active for the events ACTIVATED, and ROLLED_BACK, but not for the event CREATED.

The standard workflow template used by Master Data Governance for material is WS60800086.

In order to ensure the general assignment of processors using the rule-based workflow, run the following activity in Customizing for Master Data Governance under Start of the navigation path General Settings Next navigation step Process Modeling Next navigation step Workflow Next navigation step Configure Workflow Tasks End of the navigation path.

  1. Go to application component CA-MDG-AF and choose Assign Agents.

  2. Set the Dialog Processing (TS 60807954) task attributes, if it not already set. To do so, select the task, and choose Attributes.

    You must assign an agent to a task in this step, in order to assign that agent as processor to a change request step. If you use an agent in your workflow that is not assigned as a processor to a task here, your workflow will end in an error at runtime unless you have classified the task as a general task. There are four options you can choose from when assigning an agent to a task:

    • Choose General Task if you want to be able to assign and forward the task to anyone.

    • Choose General Forwarding Allowed if you want the task to be initially assigned to one of your possible agents but want to allow it to be forwarded to anyone.

    • Choose General Forwarding not Allowed if you only want the task to be initially assigned and forwarded to possible agents.

    • Choose Forwarding not Allowed to prevent any forwarding of the task.

    Select the option you wish to use and choose Transfer.

Alternative procedure using the generic workflow maintenance transaction:

  1. Run transaction SWDD

  2. In the Workflow field, enter the workflow template WS60800086, the highest version is automatically chosen.

  3. In the Navigation area go to step 000073 Dialog Processing and select it.

  4. In the Task Properties area, choose Agent Assignment for Task. Choose the Agent Assignment for Task button.

  5. On the next screen select Dialog Processing and choose the Attributes button.

  6. In the Task popup select the option you want and choose Transfer.

  7. Return to the Task Properties list and verify that the status icon beside Agent Assignment is green or yellow.
