Starting workflow from a program

[Zmudzin,Tomasz,VEVEY,GL-DS/DM]

In other words -- you need to insert that COMMIT WORK after your call =
to
SWE_EVENT_CREATE, because this call (indirectly) updates the database. =
Then
it will work.
 
Kind regards,
Tomasz
 
P.S. In perhaps 80% of cases you don't need that COMMIT WORK because =
the
SWE_EVENT_CREATE call is placed in a program that will commit anyway =
when
saving data. In such cases you actually need to be very careful; coding =
your
own COMMIT WORK after raising the event could break the transaction =
logic.
But this is obviously not the case in your case...

the starting of the workflow is a logical unit of work, contains db =
updates,
and therefore needs a commit work..=20

Hi there
 
No. I'm not doing any database updates.

Just to make sure -- do you COMMIT WORK after the call?
 
Kind regards,
Tomasz

Hi every-one
 
I've created a dialogue program in which one of the facilities the user =
has
is to start a workflow. I've created the subtype ZKNA1 (with status
released) with an event called ZAPPROVE and delegated it system wide to
KNA1. The event has a multiline element. I've created the event =
container
and initialised it and loaded my internal table into the event =
container
using the relevant macros. I then call the FM SWE_EVENT_CREATE. The
interface needs the object type (tried KNA1 and then ZKNA1 - used =
literal),
the object key (customer number - used FM definition) and the event
(ZAPPROVE - used literal) and pass the event container. The workflow is
active and the event linkage is in place (checked using SWETYPV). When =
I
execute the program nothing happens - no event is triggered in swel. =
I've
run it in debug mode and everything _SEEMS_ to be OK in the FM - return =
code
is 0 when it completes - I've also tested it using SE37 and the event
container does get filled - but still no event trigger.
 
So ... any-one have any ideas?
 
Regards
 
Jose
