tech article: extension of parallel work items
Remark: this is a very technical article on MDG, workflow, Web Dynpro and BRF+
As it contains a lot of source code, we've chosen to make it available as a file download.
Description
If parallel change request stages exist during an MDG process, the user can see the different work items by pressing the "Work Items" button.
The default pop-up only shows the ID and the description of the work Item but gives no further information.
For a customer of ours, we have extended this standard pop-up so that they know who the processor of the work Item is next to the status of the sub-workflow.
In particular, the status display is useful since the change request status cannot be changed during a parallel sub-workflow as several parallel steps can have a different status.
In the document, we read the current sub-workflow step from the work item container and we look at the BRF+ table for the corresponding status.
