Deadline Monitoring in SAP Workflow
(Working with Requested Start)
By Ravi Aswani
In
this tutorial, we would look into implementation of “Requested Start” in the
step “User Decision”. This is common for the step “Activity” and others
as well.
Go
to transaction SWDD and create a step User Decision. Click on the tab
“Requested Start”.
For demo purpose, we would be choosing the
Requested Start as 2 minutes from the work item creation.
Choose the “Work Item Creation” from the list
box.
Choose an offset of 2 minutes. This means that
the work item shall be created after 2 minutes.
Save and activate the workflow definition.
Execute the workflow definition.
In SAP inbox, you can observe that the work item
is not yet delivered.
Following
is the status of the workflow instance. You can observe that the work item is in
the status “Waiting”.
The
status of the work item would convert to Ready after 2 minutes (as per the time
mentioned in the Requested Start).
