In 4.0B, you can activate/deactivate Event Log with transaction SWE4. You
can
also do this in the Area Menu SWLD > Utlities > Event log > On/off.
I am not sure what you mean by "turned the event trace on". You need to
activate
Event logging and then you can display the event log using SWEL.
 
In 4.0B, I don't believe there is any delivered workflow for SES Approval.
(Try
doing the  event simulation SWU0 for BUS2091  CREATED and check if any
workflow
is defined). There is a Business object BUS2091 which has an event Created
and a
method Release which calls the function BAPI_ENTRYSHEET_RELEASE. We
developed a
custom workflow triggered by the Created event which has a single step task
which executes the method Release.

Dear Workflowers:
 
I am trying to see if SAP already triggers an event.  I need to know if an
event
is created via the system when a service entry sheet is approved.  I know
you
can turn the event trace on and then perform the task and then turn the
event
trace off and display the trace - but I don't think everything is setup
properly.  I turned the event trace on and performed a task that I know for
a
fact creates an event in our production system and the trace did not pick it
up.
So I am wondering if there is something else I need to do to get the event
trace
to work properly.  In SAPs documentation, it says that the event trace is
only
written if logging has been activated.  Does anyone know what this 'logging'
means?  I asked our BASIS folks thinking maybe some system logging has to be
turned on and they said they did not know what that was.  Has anyone out
there
ever run into this problem ???  I would love to hear from you.
 
Thanks,
 
Casey
