I'll have to look for those OSS notes to see what they say if anything. It

will tell. Thanks for asking the question or I would never have completed

Users' Group<BR><B>Subject:</B> RE: ECC 6 - New SWWWIDH fields including
'Status'<BR></FONT><BR></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>Hi all,<BR> <BR>The official word from SAP on these new SWWWIDH
fields will be published as an OSS Note in a few weeks time, so I'm told. As
soon as I find anything out I'll pass on the details.<BR> <BR>I'm still
curious as to whether anyone else can find SWWWIDH-STATUS values of '2' in their
systems yet?<BR> <BR>On a slightly different note I've spotted a slight
issue with the new Technical Log, specifically the 'Chronological' view, which
is trying to select from SWWWIHEAD using a new field called TOP_NODE_ID via a
new index SWWWIHEAD~D.<BR> <BR>In our 4.6c=>ECC 6 test environments the
view will just hang (presumably ending in a timeout) because all our 'old'
Workflows have a blank value in this field since it was added by the upgrade and
not updated during migration or the upgrade process. Interestingly the 'Tree'
view works just fine.<BR> <BR>The code at fault appears to be this Class
Method:<BR>CL_SWL_PROCESS_LOG->SELECT_CHRONOLOGIC<BR>...<BR>* new
coding<BR>IF me->read_from_buffer( ) = ga_true.<BR>
...<BR>ELSE.<BR> IF pa_old_logic = ga_true.<BR> ...
<BR> ELSE. <BR> SELECT * INTO TABLE
at_swwwihead <====== <BR>
FROM
swwwihead
<====== <BR> WHERE top_wi_id = pa_swwwihead-wi_id.
<======<BR> ...<BR> ENDIF.<BR>ENDIF.<BR>* end of note
1049570<BR>On the plus side the new TOP_NODE_ID field is a nice top-down link
from Parent entries to Children that should do away with a lot of that recursive
searching using the 'old' WI_CHKWI field
:)<BR> <BR>Regards,<BR> <BR>Mike GT<BR><BR>

Hello fellow WUGgers,<BR> <BR>As part of our upgrade testing we've spotted
a few new fields on the Workflow Deadlines table SWWWIDH that have crept in
without any explanation or warning:<BR> <BR><BR>

</SPAN><SPAN> </SPAN>SWW_DEASTA<SPAN>
</SPAN>NUMC<SPAN> </SPAN>2<SPAN>
</SPAN>0<SPAN> </SPAN>Workflow: Status of SWWWIDH
Entry</SPAN></P> <BR>The one that caught my eye was the new 'Status' field,
which currently has two possible values 1 (Active) and 2
(Error).<BR> <BR>During some of our test we've noticed the odd '2' value
creeping in which seems to mark the deadline for death so that it is completely
ignored by the SWWDHEX job.<BR> <BR>Has anyone got any info on what these
new fields are used for?<BR> <BR>The 'Random Number' field is also a bit
curious. I haven't trawled through SAP's ABAP Classes yet to find out what it's
for but it strikes me as some kind of load-balancing or performance tweak,
possibly for parallel streaming.<BR> <BR>If anyone knows otherwise can they
share their knowledge please? :)<BR> <BR>Regards,<BR> <BR>Mike
