in the workflow log i am getting the workflow initiator name but while displaying it in the send mail option it is repalcing it by workflow system.

os i am asking about the system field

In a workflow the initiatior is held in standard parameter wfinitiator, most of the times this is binded from the event container evtcreator to wf_initiator. So you should check this, also sometimes the first dialog step has a binding from wi_actual agent to wfinitiator or a custom container

Now if you want to find out the name of that agent, you should create a method to find this out and bind the outcom to a custom workflow container. I don't know from the top of my head if there's a standard method for achieving this (your best bet would be searching attributes or methods for BO USER, or for )

Hi Rob Dielemans,

there is one field in the system container &WORKITEM.EXECUTEDBYADDRESS.NAME&

this field will give the name of the person who has executed the workflow ( means workflow initiator) .

Problem solved...

thanks for support...
