Subtypes

How do you raise the event?

I am not sure about this, but it is certainly worth trying :

Let's say you have the standard object BUS2012 that delegates to ZBUS2012,
and that your event is ZEVENT, you should raise the event BUS2012.ZEVENT
instead of ZBUS2012.ZEVENT (whatever is the method you use to raise it :
change document, user-exit, etc).

Hope this will work!

Glad to see you guys talking about this.  I have something that has
concerned me that I would like to get cleared up.  I have created many
attributes and they all roll up and are available when using the superior
business type.  However, I created an event and the event is not available
when using the superior in the workflow.  Have I not did something right?
By the event not being available with the superior it is forcing me to use
the sub-type in my workflow.  The workflow works fine, but I do not like to
use subtypes in my workflow because I was told exactly what Michael stated,
that we should use the SAP object.  Can anyone shed some light on this!!!

Sorry, just realized I wasn't finished with my last mail.
The main point I was getting to was that you should use the supertype - i.e.
BUS2032 in your workflow. Delegation means that all ZBUS2032's extras will
be available to BUS2032.

The event you should be using/looking out for is thus BUS2032.ZCREATED

The other advantage to using BUS2032 in your workflows is that it will
happily work with any SAP-standard task/role/ABAP/whatever that expects a
BUS2032 object.

A last hint, use SWEL for tracing event problems.

Cheers
Mike

First, I'd just like to clarify something - you say you created the subtype
by copying BUS2032???? There is a difference to creating a copy and a
subtype - a subtype _inherits_ the supertype's functionality.

Onto your question, the idea behind delegation is kind of the opposite to
inheritance. Inheritance is where the functionality of a supertype is used
by a subtype, e.g. ZBUS2032.CREATE doesn't really exist, but merely points
to and executes BUS2032.CREATE. Delegation is the opposite, it makes a
subtype's method/attributes visible and available as if they were available
in the supertype. Thus we can use BUS2032.ZCUSTOMMETHOD. This gets around
the fact that we cannot edit SAP objects directly. Note that an object can
only be delegated to ONE subtype.

Hello,
have you delegated the subtypes using the system wide delegation?

Hi Workflowers !
 I'm new in WF and confused with subtypes.
WF subtypes which created by us (exp: ZBUS2032) does not work properly. We
created new subtypes via copying the SAP objects and defined ZCREATED,
ZCHANGED vs.. events. We should set some restrictions for the new object via
transaction SWEC for the different scenarios. When we used the subtypes in
the workflow, events are not triggered. As soon as we use the origional SAP
objects in the same wf, triggering is working. Heeelp !
