<P><FONT face=3DArial size=3D2>Currently we have a CM (Configuration =
Manager) who=20
manages changes to the Organizational Plan used by Workflow. From =
what I=20
understand Workflow buffers the Organizational Plan for performance=20
reasons. Whenever the CM makes a change to the Organizational =
Plan, we=20
have him refresh the Organizational Plan for Workflow (tran SWUS, =
"Refresh=20
organizational environment" button on Function Bar) to ensure that =
Workflow=20
picks up the latest information. We told the CM to make changes =
to the=20
Organizational Plan and refresh the Organizational Plan for Workflow =
when there=20
is minimal system activity (i.e. at the end of the day) so that the =
chances of=20
Workflow using the old Organizational Plan between the change and the =
refresh=20
execution is minimized.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT face=3DArial size=3D2>A while back on the MIT SAP Users e-mail =
list I saw a=20
message which said that you can make entries in table T779X to specify =
that=20
workflow event should be generated or a function module should be =
called when a=20
PA (personnel admin) or PD (org and training/event mgmt) update takes=20
place. The "Refresh organizational environment" basically calls =
the=20
function module RH_INBOX_VIEW_BUFFER_REFRESH.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT face=3DArial size=3D2>Can I (and would it make sense) to make =
an entry in=20
this T779X table to automatically call this function module whenever =
the CM=20
makes a change to the Organizational Plan, thus eliminating a step for =
him and=20
the possibility of him forgetting to refresh the Organizational Plan =
for=20
Workflow? If the answer is "yes" to both, does anyone know what =
would be=20
my entries in the T779X table?</FONT></P><BR>
