Transfer of work item due to org unit change?

[Roehlen, Peter]

Lisa,
 
I suspect it's due to performance reasons.  Our refresh seems to take place
around midnight each day and the first person to access their workflow inbox
after the refresh has to wait nearly 60 seconds before they can access their
workitems.  The same happens after you do an ad-hoc refresh via the
transaction SWU_OBUF.
 
Mind you we have nearly 700,000 workitems that need archiving so this
possibly exacerbates the problem.
 
If you don't have many workitems and are not concerned about the performance
implications of refreshing more than daily, you could have a small ABAP
written to call transaction SWU_OBUF (or the function module) that you could
schedule periodically throughout the day.
 
Regards
 
Peter.

In older versions of SAP the refresh was done instantaneously - Now we must
wait
for the system date to change for the refresh or manually call via
transaction
SWU_OBUF  - - does anyone know the purpose behind this change? We are in the
process of constructing a workaround and want to know what the implications
may be.
 
Thanks,
Lisa
