I'm running MQWF 3.4 SP3 on a PC where my user id is the administrator. The same user is registered in WF in the admin role. To test the process, I send WF XML messages to the EXEXMLINPUTQ. I use WF "fat" client as well.
The process has a single program activity that dynamically assigns the work to a user based on a container value (a user defined element is mapped to _ACTIVITY_INFO.People). The user exists in Runtime. While the work item appears on my userid worklist, the work item never appears on the intended user's worklist. In the WF client, I have to transfer the work item to the user -- just to get it on their worklist. Is there something I should check to make this work? |

.
Where are you doing the user assignement?
Is it from Process start node to the activity input container?

| Yes. From the source node (origin data structure) to the activity input container (target d/s), I map from an element in _STRUCT called "officeid" to the _ACTIVITY_INFO.People. Our userbase consist of offices, so I use their office id number as virtual users. I assume the WF XML MQMD.UserIdentifier is the process starter, but why doesn't the work item get assigned to the intended user? |

Did you select "Staff from predefined members" on staff 1 page?

| No. "Dynamic assignment from page 2" is selected. In the Staff 2 tab, I selected "Office" (that's the virtual user) in "Member of roles from container." |

Post the FDL for the process AND the Roles/Persons involved, and maybe I can spot your problem

There is no need for you to move Office to _ACTIVITY_INFO.People based on the way your FDL is defined, but I don't think it is hurting anything.
Are you saying that the Value in Office is "1234" in the input container of the "CustomerError" activity? Check this using the ThinClient Monitor. If that is the case then there must be a bug, and it's probably time for you to open a PMR

If the value in office is '1234', isnt it wrong? '1234' is a person while the activity is defined to be done by member of role '1234'.

| Yes, the value in Office is 1234 from the input container. I don't know what the ThinClient Monitor is. When I open the Workflow fat client, and monitor the process instance, I open the activity properties to view the Staff tab...On the worklist of me, Process Administrator: me. Everything else appears OK with the FDL? If so, then I'll open a PMR on this one. Thx! |

Look at what Ratan is saying.... You should be specifying Done by Person from container, not Role from container. I didnt catch that when I looked at it, thats why its so great to have Ratan around

| Ratan -- you are correct. Office doesn't define a role, just a person. My oversight...I selected Office in the "People from container" from program activity's Staff 1 setting, then put the WF XML to the queue. Now, the work item is assigned to the correct user. I just checked the client and the owner is 1234. Thx, jmac, for the insights and assistance. |
