Maintenance of Tab Page Control (SAP Library - WebFlow Engine (BC-BMT-WFM))

Maintenance of Tab Page Control

Use

With the specifications you make on this tab page, you define:

Which task is executed in this activity
Which properties this step has
Who is responsible for processing the activity

When you define a new activity, you must make entries about the task. This supplements entries on the tab page Outcomes.

Activities

Make the following settings:

Task

Define the task to be executed or the workflow to be called. In the F4 input help, you can search for tasks and workflows by:

Parts of names.
The application component assigned.
The method used, (for tasks)

Select if no suitable task exists yet. For more information, see Definition of a Task.

A workflow entered here can always be started. The possible agents of the workflow are not checked when starting.

Note

If you enter another task in an existing step definition, the outcomes of the original task are not assigned automatically to the outcomes of the newly entered task. You are requested to assign the selected outcomes of the new task to the outcomes of the original task. Superfluous outcomes and the corresponding branches of the workflow definition are deleted.

The system creates new branches in the workflow definition for additional or unassigned outcomes of the new task.

The properties and descriptive text of the selected task are displayed. However, you can only maintain these within the task definition.

Step properties

You can define the following step properties:

Task to be determined using an expression

You can determine which task is referenced in this activity dynamically. To do this, you add a task in the activity as usual (basic task). Select and specify the container element containing the alternative task. This task must be identical to the basic task in its interface. If there is no result or an error is found when the expression is resolved, the basic task is used. If you use task TS70008069 in a preceding step, the task can be selected easily. To do this, you must define a task group containing all tasks that could be executed in this activity. You pass this task group to the method used in task TS70008069. Select a task when executing the work item. This method provides an expression that contains the selected task and can be used in this activity.

Processing can be rejected

If the indicator is set, execution of an associated work item can be rejected. The workflow definition is extended by the addition of a branch in which you must model the reaction to this rejection.

Work items for this step neither appear in the standard- nor the graphical workflow log.

Perform editing again.

You can only set this indicator if you have entered a Complete Execution condition on the Conditions tab page. If the condition is set and if the evaluation of the condition returns the result False, the recipients are determined again. If the actual agent of the work item is the recipient again, the work item remains in the status in process. Otherwise, the newly determined recipients receive the work item.

Advancing with dialog

If the actual agent of the preceding step is also a recipient of this step, the step is executed immediately. The execution does not need to be started in the Business Workplace. For more information, see Advancing With Immediate Dialog.

Binding

Process the binding between task container and workflow container. When you enter a task for the first time, the system proposes the following:

New container elements for the workflow container.
A binding definition

You decide whether you want to accept the proposal in full or in part. To process the binding later, select Binding. For more information, see Rule-Based Proposal for Binding Definitions.

Note

Even if you reject the proposal at first, you can define the binding automatically at a later date. To do this, select .

Agent

You process the responsible agents and the excluded agents for this step if you are referencing a dialog task. These specifications only apply to this step and complement the specifications on organizational responsibility for the task. For more information, see Defining Responsibilities.
