workflow item not being created

[Dart, Jocelyn]

Hi Hui, Keep an eye on transaction SM58 - sometimes the raising of the event
can get stuck in the
transactional RFC monitor - it's worthwhile checking it if you suspect a
problem.
 
Double-check you don't have a check function of any sort on the event
linkage as this may also prevent
the event being raised in certain circumstances.  Check that you are using a
standard receiver function module
in the event linkage, e.g. SWW_WI_CREATE_VIA_EVENT.
 
Another thing you could do is to turn the event log on for a while and track
all events.  Be careful
however as monitoring all events can be resource hungry - maybe turn it on
over a limited off-peak
period and compare the results with your table.
 
Don't forget to check the workflow administrator's inbox, in case error
messages about the event
have been sent there.
Regards, Jocelyn.

Hui,
 
I wonder want the result would be if you took out the export parameter
start_with_delay? (comment it out and execute).
