What is a WF_Initiator and Agent (USER)..?

Hi All,
I am very new to workflow and getting cofused over the Agent and Workflow Initiator determination in the task and activities and all the scenarios.........
Can anyone please explain me these differences between.
I have gone thru the help files but cant get any idea...may b i m missing somthing...
Please let me know if there are any help files available to understand this.
Thanks,
Sagar@MM

WF Initiator is the one who starts the workflow, and Agent is the one who recevies the workitem and have the authorization to execute the workitem.
Suppose let us consider a case like we have 2 users USRA and USRB
USRA -
Starts the workflowor triggers the workflow then WFInitiator will have the user name USUSRA and let us assume that whem ever a leave is applied so your leave request should go to your manager for approvale let the manager be USRB, Now USRB will be the agent

  • Change CCX Agent USER-ID

    Good day,
    I have a client that has a CCX8.0 with a CUCM
    They have 10 agents created and working in the call center.
    Recently they area replacing one of those agents.
    They cant create another agent/user because they dont have more licenses, but they ask us to change the "user ID" for the actual user.
    We have changed the "User ID" under "End User" menu in the CUCM7.
    We can see the change reflected in the "RmCm>Resources" menu in the CCX, but the change is NOT reflecting un the "CCX Desktop Administrator".
    We have already tried pressing the "Synchronize Directory Services" inside the "CCX Desktop Administrator" with no luck.
    Also the user cannot login.
    Do i need to make another change??
    What im forgeting change the Agente User ID??
    Thanks for the help. 
    Osvaldo

    Hello Chris,
    Ive tried what you suggested but the problem was the same with the creating of the agent.
    I can see the new agent in the "RmCm>Resources" menu, but i cannot see it in the "CCX Desktop Administrator".

  • Staff and wheel users ?

    I have two users that show up in the permissions group when ZI look at get info for my folders and drives.
    What is the staff and wheel users and what is the purpose of these users?

    Staff and Wheel are "Groups".
    Unix permissions are broken down into User (Owner), Group, World (Other), with separate read, write, execute permissions settings for each class of user.  "Staff" and "Wheel" are standard Groups.
    Generally all user accounts are also granted "Staff" membership.  So if you create another user account on your system they would have a unique User ID, but would also be granted "Staff" membership.  Permissions could be assigned that would allow other members of Staff access to your files, but deny World/Other access (NOTE: World does not really mean all members of planet Earth, just other processes on your system that are not you and not a member of your group; remember these terms were invented when computers were not networked, and they were their own little world).
    "Wheel", as in "A Big Wheel", meaning someone of importance and authority, is a group for administrators.  Many files are part of the Wheel group with permissions that allow users in the Wheel group to access them, but would not allow other users without Wheel group access.
    Staff and Wheel are normal in a Mac OS X system.  Please do not mess with them.

    Regarding the internet breech as seen on the news.  What advice is Apple giving to its computer, iPad, and phone users?

    That does not affect any OS X client or iOS, and there is no action for you or Apple to take.
    Ignore hyperventilating popular media outlets that thrive by promoting fear and discord with entertainment products arrogantly presented as "news". Learn what real threats actually exist and how to arm yourself against them:
    The most serious threat to your data security is phishing. To date, most of these attempts have been pathetic and are easily recognized, but that is likely to change in the future as criminals become more clever.
    OS X viruses do not exist, but intentionally malicious or poorly written code, created by either nefarious or inept individuals, is nothing new.
    Never install something without first knowing what it is, what it does, how it works, and how to get rid of it when you don’t want it any more.
    If you elect to use "anti-virus" software, familiarize yourself with its limitations and potential to cause adverse effects, and apply the principle immediately preceding this one.
    Most such utilities will only slow down and destabilize your Mac while they look for viruses that do not exist, conveying no benefit whatsoever - other than to make you "feel good" about security, when you should actually be exercising sound judgment, derived from accurate knowledge, based on verifiable facts.

    Try a soft-reset and see if it works after your phone has restarted (it seems ot have fixed the error for a number of people on here) : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the equivalent of a reboot.

  • How do I locate 5/20/2011 1:05:09 AM Packed: Swf2Swc C:\Documents and Settings\User\AppData\Local\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\3xe4911x.default\Cache\F\0D\C12DFd01 and what does it mean?

    I am just wondering how I can locate this ~5/20/2011 1:05:09 AM Packed: Swf2Swc C:\Documents and Settings\User\AppData\Local\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\3xe4911x.default\Cache\F\0D\C12DFd01~ what is it and what are profiles...on mozilla I have someone remotly doing things to my computer I didn't sign up for,

    1. This is where your main Profile folder is located:
    C:\Documents and Settings\myname\'''Application Data'''\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\xxxxxxxx.default
    2. Secondary location:
    C:\Documents and Settings\myname\'''Local Settings\Application Data'''\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\xxxxxxxx.default
    No, don't delete that folder or the files in it. Those files would be re-created the next time you open Firefox. Those files are necessary.
    3. Firefox put that file there, so it knows its' there. Delete it and Firefox will download that data all over again, and put it back in that folder.
    4. Bookmarks are stored in the '''places.sqlite''' file in the main Profile folder, since the Firefox 3 versions.
    Some of those files have been moved around from one major version of Firefox to the next to improve various aspects of "performance" and also to minimize file size for automated personal data backup purposes & for roaming Profiles in a large network setting. The urlclassifier file can get to be quite large, which could really screw-up roaming Profiles on a network server.

  • What is the difference between owb repository owner and repository user?

    what is the difference between owb repository owner and repository user?

    Hi,
    the repository owner has full rights to do every thing in the repository. There is only one repository owner.
    There may be multiple repository user for one of the following two purposes:
    1. When working in a team, each team member can be added as a different repository user and can have different grants assigned. That way you can also see who has deployed what objects or who has run a mapping.
    2. To be able to deploy into a database schema, that db user user has to be added as repository user as well. Make sure the "user is target schema" checkbox is checked.
    Regards,
    Carsten.
