Creating a Task (Inbound Processing Using Workflow) 

In this step, you create a task for inbound processing which is processed in the background. The task refers to your new object method. Alternatively, you can define a workflow.

Prerequisites

You must have completed the required steps in Defining and Using a Basic Type

Creating a Task

  1. Choose Development ® Business Workflow ® Definition tools ® Tasks ® Create (task type standard task). Enter a task abbreviation.

    2. Choose and save in the connection.

    When saving assign the task to the same development class as your other development objects (basic type, function group and so on).

  2. Assign possible agents to the task: Choose Additional data ® Agent assignment ® Maintain. You must therefore only perform this step if you do not want to create a background task - in this case there is no agent.

    3. You can maintain the task as a general task by selecting Attributes.

  3. Enter the object type and method and set an indicator for the task according to the processing type (for example for background processing). Change the release status to implemented. Save your entries.

You can check whether you have been entered as a possible agent in the dialog tasks. Choose Development ® Business Workflow ® Runtime tools ® Start workflow (test environment) and then enter your task and choose .

Make the following entries for the example:

Task abbreviation

TEST _ INPUT

Method

InputBackgroundTest

Object type

IDOCTEST

Execution

Background processing

Agent assignment

none (there are no agents for background tasks)
