RSWUWFML2 - Ready status of work item??

Hi - Here is the story...
<i>R/3 Enterprise, SAP_BASIS = 620, SAPKB62038
SAP_ABA = 620, SAPKA62038</i>
My workflow sends out a user-decision step to an agent. This work item is in "In-Process" status. My requirement made me decide to schedule RSWUWFML2 & send a notification mail to the internet address of this agent.
<b>Problem</b> : When I debugged RSWUWFML2, found it selects work items only with status = "READY". Hence my work items of the above workflow never get picked up. Has any one faced this? And what was the solution you adopted or you recommend here?
Thanks! Shireesh M.

Hi
Sorry - but it's working as designed
The reason for this is, whenever a workitem is in status in-process the agent has opened the workitem, so he should know that he has received it Thats why the report won't send a notification to this agent.
If you won't accept this limitation you need to create your own copy of the report.

  • How to set status for work items

    Hello Friend's,
    As per my client current  scenario  every work item will be sent to 3 useru2019s .If any one  of the  user click on work item  it will automatically call a  Ztransaction  for further action. Here if the user has viewed  the item and  back to sap inbox by clicking the back push button(in Ztransaction)  without any modification or taking the any action(SAVE)  then the rest of other user (2 users ) work items  are disappearing from  other user SAP inbox.
    But my client required that  whenever  the user click on back button it should be READY status to  all  the users  and it should not disappear  from other user SAP inbox.    
    Please provide me any advice to the above requirement.

    Hello Ranga,
    that requirement is solved here: Automatic put back workitem after execution
    But as it's quite an old one, it's hard to find here by the Forum's search option.
    A more advance way could also make use of the work item exits.
    Best wishes,

  • SWI1 work items execute at a time...

    Hello workflow gurus,
    I need help in the workflow regarding the mass execution of different work items hanging in the SWI1 queue.
    We are using the workflow in our project. & we have lots of work items are hanging in the SWI1.Some of them are related to wait step, which means they are waiting for deadline monitoring & some of them related to executing a method in the background.
    Now my  first question is how can we execute all the waiting work items at a time? Because there lot of them are there. & my second question is how can I execute the background step work items at a time, because this does not involve any waiting period. For ex: changing the sales order.
    Pls help.
    Thanks,
    Pandu

    Agree it is not a queue, let me explain you what is happening, we have a single step task which will just execute the method of the business object. It is single step. So when we raise the event in the code  this work item gets created & the method will be executed.
    But if it is one time, then it's perfectly ok. But the code will raise the event lot of times. So lot of background work items are getting creating in SWI1. The status of these work items are  'READY', & I see lot of entries in SM58 too.
    SAP help says: The background work item status 'READY' means
    Interim status, in which a background work item only remains temporarily.
    As soon as a background work item can be processed, the system automatically calls the corresponding object method. The background work item immediately changes to status in process.
    "The object method is called using a tRFC call. If a background work item remains in status ready for a long time, you should check whether the tRFC calls are processed without errors.".
    That means with 'READY' status, the work item has already executed the method using tRFC call & it failed in SM58? or
    it is waiting to execute to that method but waiting fro any resource? or something else?
    If it is just like a single method why it is taking time & hanging in SWI1. Pls clarify.
    Also I want to ask one more question, to execute/process  this background work item which std program/job is responsible? For ex: SWWCOND. So that we can schedule more frequently.
    Pls help.
    Thanks,
    Pandu

  • Work item Status

    Hello,
    I am working on SRM , when an user is creating Shopping cart new workitem is created and email is sent to approver for approval.
    In table SWWWIHEAD i can see WI_STAT (status of work item) values as READY or WAITING or STARTED. Please explain these three status in detail
    for example READY means email is in inbox of approver? etc
    Best regards.

    Hello,
    Off the top of my head:
    READY means ready to be executed, ie waiting on a user
    WAITING means waiting for something, eg an event or a wait step
    STARTED is usually the status of a workflow after it's been started but not yet completed.
    Usually for an active workflow the main wf workitem will be STARTED and there will be one (or more) READY workitems.

  • Execute Background Work Item using Deadline Monitoring

    Hi All,
    I want to execute a Background Task using Requested Start. The status of Work Item is Waiting. But it is not executing after Deadline reaches and in graphic log it displays no agent. As per my knowledge Background work item is executed by Workflow system itself.

    Hi Bikash
    check if the deadline monitoring job is running or not. SM37-> Check for job SWWDHEX
    if not then schedule it from SWU3.
    This is the job which actually picks up the waiting items (waiting for deadlines).

  • Can one work item drive another work item.

    Lets say I have two distinct bug tracking work items in tfs 2013. Would I be able to have one work item drive another... for example
    if I create a defect in work item a, it will create a copy of it in work item b.
    if I update the status of defect in work item a, it will update the status in work item b.
    etc...
    Thx.
    Saba

    Hi Saba,
    As far as I know, seems it's unavailable to get a copy of it in another work item automatically.
    Generally, you can associate the created defect with two work items(add links to the defect for the two work items). Another option is open the first work item after adding the defect to it in team web access, then click button of "Create a copy
    of this work item" to get a copy of the work item.

  • Can we able to see the Work Items status in the BPM Workspace

    HI,
    Can we able to see the work item status in the BPM workspace.
    For exampls, I have create the request as requester then it will go for approval.
    After sometime i login into the workspace can i able to see my request status(it mean where it is like approval1, approval 2)?
    Pls let me know, its possible in the BPM workspace.
    Regards,
    Anandh P

    Hello Anandh,
    You can utilse the filter option of the BPM workspace.
    When you filter the instances you can view the status of all the instances even if they are currently not assigned to the particular user.
    All you need to do is click on the show filter link.
    Select the process from the Filter by: combo box.
    Check the status boxes and click on apply filter.
    You will be able to view the instance even if it is not assigned to you.(Though you will not be able to work on it.)
    If you wish to give custom messages like "pending with HR" or "Pending with Admin" then you need to add a column by creating a project variable and mapping it to the custom view. Then these messages can also be shown on the instances.
    Hope ths helps.

  • WS20000075: work item of 1st release step stays in status In process

  • Transaction/Report to process background work items which r in READY state

    HI,
    Can somebody kindly tell me the transaction/report program to process background work items which are in ready state. SM59 configuration was missing and hence, workflows failed to execute after being started successfully. Now, I want to comeplete these operations.
    Thanks a lot,
    Max

    Hi Max,
    Did you check transaction SWPC? If the workflows are in there you can start them through in a proper way.

  • Work item in waiting status incase of multiple approvers

    Hi Experts,
    We have a scenrio where in the work item needs to be sent to multiple approvers.
    We have multi line container element which contains all the approvers. We have assined this container element using the expression option for the agent .
    we have made the task as general task and we do not have any requested start maintained for this work item.
    However we are facing a problem. Work item is always in waiting status. What might be the issue? In our case when i check the work flow log, for these work items there are three approvers, however SBWP inbox is appearing only for one approver and remaining two approvers do not have any Icon against their name.
    I have checked the approvers ID's and all of them are active in the system.
    Can you please help me to resolve this issue?
    Regards,
    Madhu

    Hello,
    I would look at the workitem in SWIA, proceed as if you were going to change the container elements (ie click on the workitem number, Edit > Change) and see what options are available to you.
    "Resubmit: You can have a work item resubmitted to you for processing at a later date. To do this, choose Resubmit and then enter the date on which you want to receive the work item."
    Let us know what you find.
    Edited to add: I tried it myself, a "End resubmission" button appears when you click on the Waiting step in the workflow log.
    regards

  • Work item struck in 'Waiting Status'.

    HI All,
      I have a problem with SRM custom workflows for PO and Invoice approval. Work flow has started but stuck in the status "waiting" at the first step 00002 "Parallel Section Between Approval "
    I've checked SWPC (continue workflows after crash) and SM58 (RFC connections), but its not in either.
    Can any one tell why work items are going into waiting status?
    Its very Urgent.
    Thanks,
    Shiva

    Hi,
    Sorry, I'm not familiar with SRM related matters. Can I just check with you if the task in the workflow is an 'Wait for Status Change' kind of activity? E.g. WS12300111 (ECC 6 Leave workflow).
    If so, you may want to simulate in your test server, and run program RSWWCOND to see if the workflow will continue. Not too sure if this will help you.
    Regards,

  • SC with awaiting approval status and no work item for Approvers.

    Hi Experts,
    We are implementing Classic scenario with SRM7.0 and we are having Application controled Workflow.
    We are fasing issue in workflow. On SC getting ordered the status is showing as awaiting approval and there is no work item found in BBP_PD.
    When we approve this SC in SWO1 then there is no PO getting created.
    If the SC value is less than spend limit we have enabled no Workflow and in that case the approval agent table is showing as System Approver and after SC getting ordered the SC is still with the status Awaiting approval.
    Can any once have an idea how to go about with this issue.
    Regards,
    B.N.Karthikeyan

    Hi,
        Did you check the event linkage in SWE2? what do you see in SLG1? Did activate the task groups 40000003 and 40000007? also check in SM58 and SM21..

  • Work item with error status

    Hi,
    I need your help in order to know what shall I do when a work item finishes with error status.
    Thanks in advance,

    look at business workflow -> development -> administration -> workflow runtime .
    here you have several possibilities
    SWPR to restart after error
    SWI2_DIAG for diagnostics
    SWI2_FREQ to see the details
    SWWERRE_DEBUG to debug
