Workflow for PS statuses

[Alon Raskin]

Why not specify multiple triggering events for this workflow? Configure new
events on a sub-type of BUS2001 called Released, etc and then attach them to
the appropriate statuses. Then specify all three as triggering events of
your workflow. You can use CHECK_OBJECT_KEY_IN_WF Function Module in the
check function module to ensure that you do not trigger multiple workflows
for a particular instance.
 
I think that's the easiest option.
 
Otherwise, you could hunt around for an exit which is always called when a
new project is created and raise your event from there. Personally, I
wouldn't bother, as I think the first option will do what you need.

Subject: Workflow for PS statuses
 
Hello,
I am building a workflow to manage PS system statuses.
The workflow is started on creation of a new project definition (Event
BUS2001.CREATED I have related it by status management to sys. status 'CRTD'
), the problem is that the user can create a project and release it ( sys.
status 'REL' ) or set it to other sys. statuses before saving, this
situation causes the event BUS2001.CREATED not to be raised, and the
workflow does not start.
 
I cannot relate the event BUS2001.CREATED to statuses 'REL' or 'TECO'
because they are being used in other steps of the workflow.
 
I would appreciate any ideas for bypassing this problem, Elad.
