<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">Hi there Ali,</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">A couple of thoughts.</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">Have you considered SWEHR3 to raise
the event(s) "real-time?" You could have 2 events
being triggered for the custom info type.</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">On the workflow that is triggered to
send out the notification, create a Wait for Event task that has a modeled
deadline for "Latest End" and have that send out the 2nd
notification if the 2nd event is not raised within the required time frame.</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">Hope this helps.</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">Regards,</font>

<br><font size=2 face="Verdana">Dear WF Experts,</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="Verdana">I need to trigger an event based on a specific
field in a custom HR infotype. I need to read a date field from there and
do some calculations to it and if it passes a certain validation in the
code I need to trigger a WF. I thought of scheduling an ABAP program to
run in the background once a day to read the data – do the calculation
– trigger the event to start the WF if needed. However, i’m thinking
there might be a better solution which is by monitoring the infotype field
itself from the WF side. The reason being is I want to send a notification
when the event is triggered and then I need to wait for a week and see
if there is action taken and if not I need to trigger another notification.
So if I use the bg job option to trigger the WF I guess I have to use another
background job to monitor what happens after a week. That’s why I’m thinking
it might be better to do something in WF to solve this instead of scheduling
two bg jobs one to trigger the event and one to monitor. Is there a better
more efficient solution to do this? How would i link that check to a specific
HR infotype field if that's the better option?</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="Verdana">Thanks a lot in advance.</font>
