Multiple event triggers

[Dart, Jocelyn]

Hi Jose,
Suggest you raise this with OSS.
However in the meantime, you could use a check function module
to prevent the emails being sent multiple times, i.e. use your
check function module to only start the workflow if no other
workflow was started for the same business object type/key
on the same day/within a time frame (e.g. last 5 minutes).

Hi there
 
I've come across a problem that I'm unsure how to resolve. I thought
initially that it was my workflow until I switched on the event trace. The
scenario is as follows: when an employee is transferred or terminated, an
email must be sent to recruitment. The actions are performed by using
transaction PA40. The business object that I am using is BUS1065. For some
unknown reason, when a transfer/termination is done using this transaction,
the event is generated multiple times and obviously the emails are generated
the same number of times -- the information in terms of change/termination
dates are not always the same in these emails though - dates drawn from
other actions are sometimes pulled through. Has anyway encountered this
before and does any one have a solution? Oh, we're on 4.6B package level 43
for HR and the rest is on package level 32.
 
Much appreciated.
 
Regards
 
Jose Burgman
