Start Workflow with object.4.6C

[Dart, Jocelyn]

Hi lj,
You can still terminate your workflow with an event even
if it wasn't started with an event.
The problem is more likely to be that the event isn't being
raised at all.
 
You usually need to do some configuration to turn on the event.
There is quite a bit of information on how to configure events
in the R/3 library documentation under Business Workflow.
 
To test that your event is being raised, turn on the event log
(transaction SWELS), do whatever you do to post the object
manually, then view the event log (transaction SWEL) to see if
anything happened.  You should see at least one line indicating
the event happened.  Check the details of the line to see if
it found your workflow as an event receiver. If the event happened
but it didn't find your workflow, check the binding on your terminating
event is correct.
 
Don't forget to turn the event log off afterwards as like all logs
it does put a drain on performance.
 
Hope that helps.

Hi,
 
Users can start a workflow using the 'start workflow'
function of objects.
When the ojbect is posted outside of the workflow I
need to set the workflow to complete.  I have a wait
for posting event step but the event never happens.
I think since this workflow is not started by an event
I cannot terminate it with an event.  Is this true?
 
Can someone tell me how I can complete the workflow?
 
thanks in advance,
lj
