<P><SPAN LANG="en-au"><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">Hello workflowers,</FONT></SPAN>
<BR><SPAN LANG="en-au"><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial"> I have a custom Business object workflow etc. The length of the domain of the object has been expanded (from 5 to 10 numeric).</FONT></SPAN></P>
<P><SPAN LANG="en-au"><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial"> Changing the workflow containers using the FM's SAP_WAPI_READ_CONTAINER and SAP_WAPI_WRITE_CONTAINER seem to do the job fine.</FONT></SPAN></P>
<P><SPAN LANG="en-au"><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial"> However, for open instances of the object(workflows half way through), when an event is raised with the newly expanded object key the workflow does not move on.</FONT></SPAN></P>
<P><SPAN LANG="en-au"><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial"> Is it the case that if the workflow started out (created event) with a key 5 long, all subsequent events for the life of that workflow must be raised with a key 5 long?</FONT></SPAN></P>
<P><SPAN LANG="en-au"><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial"> BTW, all newly created workflows work just fine. This happens only for the ones 'in process' when the key is expanded.</FONT></SPAN>
<BR><SPAN LANG="en-au"><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial"> Anyone been down this road before?</FONT></SPAN>
<BR><SPAN LANG="en-au"><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial"> Many thanks,</FONT></SPAN>
