Hi Stephan, David,

Thanks for the suggestion. Ten minutes seemed like a good=A0chance for =
a
hard-worked undernourished=A0workflow consultant to nip off and grab a =
cup of
something to drink.

Seriously, we were (and still are) worried about this being too finely
tuned resulting in upgrade problems when the next performance improveme=
nts
arrive in the next release. This is why we decided on a fixed value.

Alan

Hello David,

If you would like to submit this as an ASUG development request (knowin=
g
that you are a member in impeccable standing :o)  ), the procedure woul=
d be
to float the suggestion through an OSS message first.  That will give t=
he
developers in Walldorf the chance to address it first via OSS note &/or=

support package.  If SAP's reply to your message indicates this would b=
e
better handled within the SAPNet Enhancements Request process (a.k.a.
Continuous Improvement DRQ), I would be glad to help set it up & submit=
 to
SAP for consideration.

Your friendly Influence Chair,

David,

you're right, the time is hard-coded, so this would be a case for Alan =
:-)

Hi Stephan,

Thanks for this....learn something new all the time, isn't life great !=
!
OK here's another question....can this time be configured ? It looks li=
ke
its
hard coded to me in the function modules. 10 minutes seems a trifle
excessive.

Alan....looks like a development request to me ? Could we make this
configurable ?
Can't hurt to ask right....:)

Happy holidays.

Cheers
Dave

dave,
use the parameter "start_with_delay" in the swe_event_create_in_upd_tas=
k
function module for one of your event creations, that will delay the
creation of that event for 10 minutes without slowing down the dialog t=
ask.
when you are starting event creation in the dialog task, always use the=

_in_update_task function module, as otherwise you have an event and no
corresponding document on the database in case of an update failure.

Hi group,

I have a tricky question for the group. Using table T779X to trigger a
function module when an org unit
is created to trigger a workflow, the function module=A0does the follow=
ing :-

1. Uses SWE_EVENT_CREATE to trigger the event 'Created' and a WS workfl=
ow
is started. In this workflow there is a wait step based on an event cal=
led
'Responsibility'.
2. The function module could also trigger the event 'Responsibility' us=
ing
SWE_EVENT_CREATE immediately after the 'Created' event.

Here's the issue: the wait step for the event 'Responsibility' does not=

find a receiver because the 2 events are almost triggered simultaneousl=
y
and the wait step in the workflow has not been=A0created yet=A0!

I have put=A0in the ABAP code the command 'WAIT UP TO n SECONDS' after =
the
event 'Created' is triggered but hate this as it slows the dialog
transaction !! I have tried using SWE_EVENT_CREATE_IN_UPD_TASK but that=

doesn't help either.

Has anyone else had this sort of problem, if so how did you go about
solving it ?.

Cheers
