<DIV><FONT face=Arial><FONT size=2><SPAN class=049251615-29082007>I walked
through a new Hire in our system. We're currently on 4.7
but testing in ECC 6.0. Infotype 0002 is stored before Infotype
0001 in our system, so the Personal data is there when the event is triggered
and the text in the workflows descriptions contain all the information. Is
there a way to specify in SAP the order in which the Infotypes would be
stored for a New Hire?</SPAN></FONT></FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial><FONT size=2><SPAN class=049251615-29082007>We also send
most of our events through the Event Queue (SWEQADM). The job that
delivers the events runs every five minutes, so 9 times out of 10 all of the
info types would be stored by the time the event is delivered. There would
be occasions, though, where the event would hit the queue right before the job
would execute and all of the data would not be
stored.</SPAN></FONT></FONT></DIV>

<DIV></DIV><BR><FONT face=sans-serif size=2>Hi all,</FONT> <BR><BR><FONT
face=sans-serif size=2>we are in ECC 6.0</FONT> <BR><BR><FONT face=sans-serif
size=2>We have a workflow that gets triggered when a new employee is hired. The
triggering of the even actually happens when Infotype 0001 is saved.</FONT>
<BR><BR><FONT face=sans-serif size=2>The work item that is sent upon hire has
the Name of the employee as part of its text. The email that is sent to the
Distribution List when an employee is hired, contains the Name of the employee
as part of its text.</FONT> <BR><BR><FONT face=sans-serif size=2>The Infotype
0002 gets saved after Infotype 0001....</FONT> <BR><BR><FONT face=sans-serif

when the workflow gets triggered.</FONT> <BR><BR><FONT face=sans-serif size=2>To
'solve' the problem, I have created a Wait step in the workflow with a Wait for
Condition (is Employee Name NE blank?).</FONT> <BR><BR><FONT face=sans-serif

fine.</FONT> <BR><BR><FONT face=sans-serif size=2>I am only wondering if there
is a better way of doing what I did? </FONT><BR><BR><FONT face=sans-serif
