Suppressing workflow steps in workflow log

[Raskin, Alon (Soliance)]

Hi Susan,
 
Are you testing and making the change in the same client. If not then
execute transaction SWU_OBUF in the client that you are executing the
workflow and hit the REFRESH button. This will clear the workflow buffer and
force SAP to re-load the workflow definition. Alternatively, you can wait
till midnight until the buffer is automatically refreshed.

Subject:        Suppressing workflow steps in workflow log
 
Hello Workflow gurus,
 
We are working on 4.6c. In a workflow definition which contains a task,
there is a switch in the step properties called 'Step not in Workflow Log'
(field name STEP_HIDE, structure SWD_SDYNP).  According to the F1 help, if
this is switched on, the step will not be displayed in the workflow log.  I
have set this switch to 'on' for a number of steps, and generated the
transaction which starts the 'new' version of the workflow, but I still see
these steps in the log file.   I am trying this out in an effort to cut
down on the size of the workflow logs and the system overhead.  Is there
something I am missing to implement this functionality ?  I've looked in
OSS to no avail...
 
Thanks!
Sue
