Hi,
I am very new to MQ workflow, i have a design question.
a) We have around 1000 users ---
b) Logic for assigning a work item has to be dynamic - as the assignment conditions/criterias a re very comples and we cant have static assignment
c) We can use a dynamic staff assignment from a container.
d) We have a 3 tier set up for mq workflow server - where app server is on another box than mq workflow server
e) I would like to have the staff asignment program to run on the mq workflow box, i dont want to run this program in the app server and then pass the user name as the container in value
f) Is there a way that a program may be invoked through UPES, which returns the data structure - one of the member is the userid/username and then is used for the dynamic assigment ?
Any inputs will be helpful.
Thanks
Vijay |

You can have a UPES running on the workflow box. You need to model your workflow to have an extra step before the step where the real workitem needs to get created. You can have this extra step as an UPES where u drop your datastructure in a q, UPES will get the info, do its logic and then populate a valid user id field back to workflow. Workflow can create a workitem for this user id when it hits the actual step.
I dont think WAS and WF being on different boxes qualifies as a 3-tier architecture. In my opinion WF and Database being on different boxes is a 3 tier set up. But this is is not relavent to your problem here.

| our app server is really loaded and the algorithm to select the user is quite complex..so thought of moving this to the workflow server |
