Hi,

Rules are use for agent determination. If you not only want agent determination but also extra data related to the agent then you have to create a method and a bg task to retrieve that (or possibly a virtual attribute depending on the scenario).

Hi Naresh,

There is no Export option in Rule, however you can use the z function module in obj type, method in a task. and then export the value  using swc_set_element container to the workflow. Update the container with the varaible with import/export as needed.

"In the rule i am calling z function module to know the approval's and know the final level also"

Just create a step in the workflow that calls a task that calls a method that calls that FM.No need to use a rule.

Hi,

  To comlete the workflow use Wait for event followed by Process Control step in your workflow. And raise event  from Rule based  on your conditions

I don't think you can "export" data from a rule. (Well, the rule result I perhaps can, but that's a different story). I might be wrong too, maybe there is some trick.

Anyhow, I would not include that kind of functionality in a rule. Rule is for finding agents, and that's all. You might want to include the whole agent & approval level finding logic in a separate background step. Just return the agents into a container element, and use that container element in the agent determination of your actual approval step. In addition of returning the agents, you can return the approval level from your background step. It should be straightforward and easy.

Hi Naresh,

I never tried Rule for multiple approvals.

Always Business object/Class is the best option for multi level approvals.

You need to pass the index of the current approval to rule and you have to get the final approval flag from Rule. The recommended option is business object / class.

Thanks,
