SAP HCM Process and Forms "Extended Notification"

[former_member424001]

Dear All,

I am working on extended notifications through SAP HCM Process and forms and I am confused.

I have configured the workflow extended notification using SWNCONFIG and when I run the report SWN_SELSEN it sends the work item to external email of processor (agent) correctly. This way we can send any work item (task) to agents via email id.

My confusion is the container element "notify_via_mail" in task TS33700022 (for example). why it is required ? since we can send work item to email without this container using SWN_SELSEN as background job.

Maybe when we use notify_via_mail in the required task we don't have to run SWN_SELSEN and work item automatically sent to external e-mail ID as soon as sending workflow tasks completes.

Kindly guide me on this.

Refer here : Standard Task TS17900100: Edit Form - Business Workflow for HCM Processes and Forms - SAP Library

Container element notify_via_e-mail - Optional

You use this container element to specify whether an e-mail notification is sent to the next agent involved in a process. If e-mail notification is set to “X” = TRUE, an e-mail is sent to the agent, advising them that there is a work item waiting to be processed. They can access the work item directly from the body of the e-mail. If it is set to “_” = FALSE, no e-mail is sent; the agent can access work items to be processed in the UWL.

In brief if wish to have extended notification use this element.

I have not yet tried this functionality. But I think SWN_SELSEN needs to be set up as well.

Regards.

Dear All,

Just want  to make my above question simple....

what is the functionality of using  notify_via_e-mail container in HCM Process and Forms tasks?

Do we still have to run SWN_SELSEN in background OR e-mail automatically goes to external email ID if notify_via_e-mail is used in particular task .
