Hi,
i would like to transfer one workitem to several users via the java api. I only know the transfer(String user) - Method of Class Item. Furthermore I can't believe that a transfer to several users is possible...
So my idea is to duplicate one workitem and to transfer the workitem to user A and the copy to user B. But the next problem I got is that I does'nt know how to duplicate a workitem.
So I would appreciate if anyone of you could be me a help.
Thank you in advance!

What's a "workitem"?
What product?
What is the Java API for that product?
Where is it's documentation?

You can only transfer to one workitem at a time using the API.

Ok. That's what I thought. Do you know any workaround? Is it possible to "clone" a workitem? So I would have several workitems in several worklists that would point to on activity.
Is it clear what I mean or do I have to describe what I want more detailled?
Thank you! |

Workitems can not be created with MQWF, WPS allows this, but not MQWF.
What I think you want is to give "visibility" to the existing workitem to multiple users. Have a look thru the avialable doc for what is usually referred to as a "Virtual User" or sometimes as a "Queue".

... or maybe you are missing even more basics:
MQWF assigns workitems to dedicated users by a mechanism called 'staff resolution'. You define in your process model which users will get a workitem for an activity once it is ready to start. Once a user has picked his workitem, all other workitems for this activity get 'disabled'. See 'Working with Buildtime' for the different concepts of assigning workitems to users. As John said, Virtual Users is a widely spread concept in MQWF. |
