Subject: RE: [bpel4people] NEW ISSUE: Priority of a Task and Potential Owner Privilege (1/3)
Hi Alan, I am not sure where the conflict
of interest lies. Perhaps you can elaborate. The primary concern of Task
Priorities is that tasks are processed according to their envisioned priority
as intended by the task stakeholder/administrator. In certain areas, authorization
is, and should be, a concern; Table 6.1.5, ‘Operation
Authorizations,’ defines the required authorizations. Also, as I stated earlier,
multiple potential owners of a task may change the priority of a task according
to their own work queue and not to the overall progress of the process; this
will affect the intended assigned priority. Furthermore, a task priority may be
low from the perspective of one potential owner but high from the perspective
of another. How do you reconcile this difference? Limiting the authorization to
task stakeholders or business administrators can prevent potential problems. Regards. Alireza From: Rickayzen, Alan
[mailto:alan.rickayzen@sap.com] Hi Aliriza, It seems to me that it there will
be conflicting interests between: 1. business administrator 2. process stakeholder 3. task owner 4. task stakeholder 5. task stakeholder's boss
juggling different tasks and activities. In my opinion all should be able
to change the priority since a clash of interests cannot be avoided and each
needs the flexibility. The whole point of the
priority-change is the transparency that this supports not the authorization so
I'd prefer keeping it as is. Best
regards, Alan
Rickayzen

Alireza Farhoush [mailto:alireza@tibco.com] I am following up on the discussion we had during our last
meeting. I have outlined below a change (1/3) to the WS-HumanTask Specification
Version 1.1 document that I proposed. Regards, Alireza Farhoush TARGET: WS-HumanTask Specification Version 1.1 CD02 DESCRIPTION: In Section 3.1, ‘Generic Human Roles’, in the
4th paragraph, a statement reads: “...potential owners can influence the progress of the
task, for example by changing the priority of the task.” Shouldn’t changing a task priority be performed only
by the stakeholder or the business administrator? Multiple potential owners
could independently modify the priority as they see fit (and perhaps never
acquire a task). PROPOSAL: Limit the privilege of changing task priority to Task
Stakeholder and Business Administrator. |
