You might want to create work items for new potential owners, for
example, when none of the current potential owners can accept any additional
work. You might also want to create work items if the query against the staff
repository does not return any potential owners. This might happen, for example,
in a long-running process if the organization has changed since the process
started.
Before you begin
To create a work item for a task instance, you must have the appropriate
role for the task. If you are the task administrator, you can create work
items for the task instance if it is in one of the following states: ready,
claimed, running, finished, or failed. If the task instance is derived from
a task template, you can also create work items if the task is in the terminated
or expired state.
Why and when to perform this task
In Business Process Choreographer Explorer, complete the following
steps to create a work item.
Steps for this task
- Display the task instances that you administer.
Click Administered
