Start Conditions

[Rankin, Andrew AJ]

Hi Diane,
 
As far as transportable items in your situation (similar to ours), I would
look at it as a split between config vs development
 
Config
Mostly client dependent (possibly some client independent as well)
including:
        Event Linkage including start conditions
        Configurable Event Creation (eg. change docs / statuses)
        Object Delegation
        Any application config related to workflow (eg. parked docs or
release strategies)
 
Devt
Client Independent Development including:
        Business Objects
        Tasks
        Workflow Definitions
        Roles
        Any ABAP coding
 
If you can do all your development in one client it will not need to be
transported within the same instance for testing. If you have to create all
your config in another client where config is allowed then most of it will
need to be transported (ie. if you want to test in a different client on
that same instance.) If you have to test in a client on a different instance
altogether then you obviously have to transport it all to the other
instance. The preferable situation is to do basic testing first in the same
client as where you create your config as it saves having to transport
anything before you see whether it works. It doesn't matter where you do you
devt as long as its on the same instance.
 
Regards
Andrew Rankin.

Hi Diane,
 
Start conditions are client-dependent, therefore create them in the client
that's opened for customization (i.e. golden client).  You will then be
prompted for transport requests.

Cam

I am currently creating start conditions for a workflow in 4.6c.  They
appear to be client dependent as they are not showing up in my transport.
Is this in fact the case??
 
In addition, many of our clients are closed for Table, Data dictionary and
configuration type entries. This is new for me in 4.6.  We did not work this
way in 3.1 and it is a little frustrating for WF developing and testing.
Need to know exactly what types of things I will need to do in each client
versus what can be transported from one to another.  I need this info. as I
will have to convince BASIS to open up these clients for me.  Has anyone
made a list or have this information available.    Any info. is greatly
appreciated.

Hi Serge (and everyone who replied!),
 
For me, creating a start condition will work perfectly. I followed the BC601
and we briefly looked at the SWB_COND but I completely forgot about it.
 
Thanks,
 
Robert
 
 
 
 
Hi Robert,
 
If you are saying in your workflow definition that you looking for the
condition, i would say that you should try to use a Start Condition to do
that or create a Check function in the type linkage table! You should try
not to do the verification directly into your workflow definition because
that will generate entries in the system tables and when they get big, thats
where it start to slow the system... Use transaction SWB_COND for the Start
condition...
 
Regards.

Hello,
 
 
 
I'am interested in what the system load would be when I trigger 1 Workflow
about 500 times a day, using a condition as the first step, the workflow
will "really" start about 10 times a day.
 
Would this be a performance killer for the system and should I define a new
Starting event (or use ABAP)? Or isn't it such a big problem because only 1
check has to be made? (check: if field x = 99999 end WF, else continue WF)
 
 
 
Thanks,
 
 
 
Robert
