<DIV>Hi Jake,</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I've used correlation several times and I found it very useful.</DIV>
<DIV>In may occasions you have to wait for additional transaction with certain data. Without correlation such would mean creating additional event, which is quite of a trouble.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Example scenario: certain customer master X needs related vendor master Y. Without vendor Y, you can't use customer X properly.</DIV>
<DIV>Therefore, once customer X is created, it waits for vendor Y (not any vendor - it waits only for vendor Y). Once Y is created, workflow of customer X proceeds.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>FYI.<BR> </DIV>

I'm having trouble on both an ECC 5.0<BR>SAPKB64018 and an ECC 6.0 SAPKB70103 box when trying to get a<BR>correlation to work. I can define my correlation in SWF_CRL1 (I hope<BR>I'm defining it right can't test it yet). I can add my wait step with<BR>correlation following the instructions in OSS 1335009. My problem<BR>arises with the activation part via a process control step. When you<BR>select a PC step and set to function 9 Activate Correlation the "Name of<BR>Event" field has no values other than local events. I can type my<BR>correlation name, base element, and a correlation instance (based on<BR>CL_SWF_MOD_CORRELATION)...however I get
an error because I lack an<BR>event. It seems buggy but maybe I'm doing something wrong...??<BR><BR>I'm trying to correlate a quality notification BUS2078 to tasks QMSM.<BR>The key for BUS2078 is a partial key for QMSM. I believe this qualifies<BR>as something to use correlations for. Below is the best WUG message<BR>around correlations. The SAP help is weak, the second edition of<BR>Practical Workflow doesn't touch on correlations, I found 1 SDN power<BR>point that wasn't helpful, OSS isn't helpful other than the note Ed<BR>mentioned below. Taking all that into account I'm curious how many<BR>people use correlations or recommend them?<BR><BR>I'll provide more info as requested.<BR><BR>Thank you WUG<BR>Jake Schmidt<BR>Workflow Developer - Spirit Aerosystems<BR><BR><BR></DIV></DIV><!-- cg1.c2.mail.ac4.yahoo.com compressed/chunked Sun Jan 17 06:56:21 PST 2010 --></div><br>
