Refresh org environment for Workflow

[Schroeter, Brad]

Alan,
Thanks for the response.  Most of the times this feature is needed in
production for "hot" cases and cannot wait until the next day.

I do have some questions for you regarding this:
1) How is the buffer refreshed automatically every night?  Is this =
update
decided by the system at a certain point or is something that the user =
can
configure (not that I would change it if it's configurable, but I would =
just
like to know for my information)?
2) I knew that you could do it manually via SWUS but how is it done
automatically via SWUD (this may answer part of question #1 above)?

Thanks,
Brad

Brad,
The buffer is refreshed automatically every night so there is no need =
for
your CM to manually refresh. Refreshing the buffer each time a change =
is
made will affect the performance of your system so it makes little =
sense to
do this.=20
This is different in the development systems where performance is not =
an
issue. That is why the refresh is done in development/test transactions =
such
as SWUS (manually) or SWUD (automatically). There's nothing to stop you
using this feature in the production system in urgent cases.
In my opinion you are better off investing your time in a FAQ for your
intranet site in which you explain that HR changes will take effect the =
next
day.
Cheers,
Alan Rickayzen

Betreff: Refresh org environment for Workflow
 
 
 
Currently we have a CM (Configuration Manager) who manages changes to =
the
Organizational Plan used by Workflow.  From what I understand Workflow
buffers the Organizational Plan for performance reasons.  Whenever the =
CM
makes a change to the Organizational Plan, we have him refresh the
Organizational Plan for Workflow (tran SWUS, "Refresh organizational
environment" button on Function Bar) to ensure that Workflow picks up =
the
latest information.  We told the CM to make changes to the =
Organizational
Plan and refresh the Organizational Plan for Workflow when there is =
minimal
system activity (i.e. at the end of the day) so that the chances of =
Workflow
using the old Organizational Plan between the change and the refresh
execution is minimized.
 
A while back on the MIT SAP Users e-mail list I saw a message which =
said
that you can make entries in table T779X to specify that workflow event
should be generated or a function module should be called when a PA
(personnel admin) or PD (org and training/event mgmt) update takes =
place.
The "Refresh organizational environment" basically calls the function =
module
RH_INBOX_VIEW_BUFFER_REFRESH.
 
Can I (and would it make sense) to make an entry in this T779X table to
automatically call this function module whenever the CM makes a change =
to
the Organizational Plan, thus eliminating a step for him and the =
possibility
of him forgetting to refresh the Organizational Plan for Workflow?  If =
the
answer is "yes" to both, does anyone know what would be my entries in =
the
T779X table?
 
 
Thanks,=20
