Raising Events based on Change Document Values updated in a structure CDSHW

[Dale Davis]

Hi Flavio:
 
 I tested the function module you sent and it returned the old and new
values for one of the changed fields, thanks.  However there still appears
to be a bug because no event is being raised, even when  I specify only one
field as a parameter. If this were working correctly,  using or  logic in
the complex field restrictions should take care of the event being raised
whenever any of the three conditions are encountered. The anding of the
conditions occurs only I specify simple field restrictions which is not the
case here, even though I tried that as well. I have used change documents
to raise events before, using both simple and complex field restrictions.
What seems to be different here is that the workflow function modules are
not detecting the changes at all.
Any other thoughts?

Dale:
 
Are you sure that the values are not there? I am asking this because, some
times, when you look at CDPOS table you cannot see the field values for
these two fields, but they are there.
 
Tray to use the function CHANGEDOCUMENT_READ_POSITIONS to verify if the
values are there.
 
Concerning the structure CDSHW, it is just a structure, cannot store data.
 
Another thing: be careful if you are putting field restrictions on your
change documents, because if you put more than one field restriction on the
change document definition, you will have the event raised only if the two
fiels are changed at the same time. If the user changes only one of the
fields, no change document event will be raised.

Flavio.
