Making WF_Admin a Role

[Former Member]

We currently have a single user set up as the Work Flow admin in transaction SWDC. We want any system notifications from workflow to go to more than this one individual. We attempted to set up the WF Admin as a Role but it does not seem to work. Looking for advice on the best way to do this.

This is what we tried.

Created a role called BCQAS:WF_ADMIN.

assigned two people to this role using PFCG.

Changed wf admin to be Role BCQAS:WF_ADMIN using SWDC.

We have an event defined which, when executed, is guarenteed to generate the error "Error in event receiver".

When we set up the WF Admin as a User, only that user recieves workflow system messages.

When we set up the WF admin as a Role, nobody recieves the system message.

It's a bug. Apply this note:

Note 860251 - Workflow administrator defined as a role

Thanks for the quick reply. Unfortunatly, it did not seem to make a difference, but at least now I have a reference for the OSS Note I am going to open. Will post the resolution when it comes.

We needed to get SAP involved to help work out the kinks but this is now working. This is what we did:

1) Created a new role (role name less than 12 characters per OSS note above)

2) Assigned several SAP Logon ID's to that role.

3) Had each of those individuals activate Auto Forwarding in their Office Settings to an Outlook Email address.

4) Now the WF Admin and the technical support staff all recieve the notifications.

Thanks to All.
