Retriving workflow agents as custom attributes

Question

Hi,
I am trying to retrive work flow agents as custom attributes. This is the xml code using for custom attributes. How can I retrieve the agents  userids who can process the task.
I appreciate your help.
<ItemTypeCriteria systemId="SAP_PLM" externalType="TS90400004" connector="WebFlowConnector"/>
      <CustomAttributes>
        <CustomAttributeSource id="WEBFLOW_CONTAINER" objectIdHolder="externalId" objectType="WebflowContainer" cacheValidity="final">
          <Attribute name="BOR_OBJECT" type="string" displayName="BOR Object"/>
        </CustomAttributeSource>
        <CustomAttributeSource id="ABAP_BOR" objectIdHolder="BOR_OBJECT" objectType="ZBUS2078" cacheValidity="default">
          <Attribute name="Description" type="string" displayName="Description"/>
          <Attribute name="RequiredEndDate" type="date" displayName="Due Date"/>
          <Attribute name="Number" type="string" displayName="Number"/>
          <Attribute name="RESPONSIBLE" type="string" displayName="Responsible"/>
        </CustomAttributeSource>
      </CustomAttributes>
    </ItemType>

Answer 1

Hi,
First you need to find out that where the data is available. Ask this from the workflow consultant if you are not familiar with WF. Basically the agent name (or whatever) must be in task container as a container element.
Take a look for example this:
<CustomAttributes>
   <CustomAttributeSource id="ABAP_BOR" objectIdHolder="externalObjectId" objectType="FORMABSENC" cacheValidity="final">
      <Attribute name="DEPARTMENT" type="string"/>
      <Attribute name="LASTDAYOFABSENCE" type="date"/>
      <Attribute name="FIRSTDAYOFABSENCE" type="date"/>
      <Attribute name="COSTCENTER" type="string" />
   </CustomAttributeSource>
</CustomAttributes>
ABAP_BOR = you define that you want to read the value from a business object attribute (this you need to check from the WF container)
FORMABSENC = name of the business object (you can investigate the business object in transaction SWO1)
And of course the attributes (eg. DEPARTMENT) are the attributes of the business object.
Now in your example you seem to mess up with WEBFLOW_CONTAINER and ABAP_POR. You need to use either one of them. If you want to use WEBFLOW_CONTAINER, then you are reading value directly from a task container element (not a business object attribute).
