Partial approval in a WF

[Marek Matejka]

Hi all,

Is there a way how to utilise a partial approval in a WF. I am convinced I've seen it on one Tibco's demos/presentations.

What I want:

I have a standard user WF to approve changes by data stewards. Let's say a DS changes two items in a table in first step. In next step I offer a Compare Content service to a data owner. I would like to allow them to approve only one of the records and reject the other one. The rejected record would be returned back to the data stewards and the approved one could be merged to the master dataspace or something like that.

Is there a way how to achive it

It is possible but requires customization. However, there are a few things that need to be clarified. How will the workflow audit be done, since partial workflows will be approved Also, what happens to related records (associations) that may be in other tables.

It is much cleaner, easier to implement (and more importantly: easier to maintain) to send the task to the requestor for rework, and approve the workflow as a whole.
