Workflow trigger event & start condition issue

[Dart, Jocelyn]

Thanks Weidong,
Yes I think everyone in the group on 4.6C or below should stick to SWB_COND for start conditions.
In later releases you can successfully create the start condition in workflow builder from what I've seen but
we appear to have a buglet in 4.6C.
Suggest you also report this in via OSS Weidong so that we can get it fixed.

Hi Jocelyn and Arvindh,
 
Thanks for your advice! I found that the problem was in the Workflow builder in which one couldn't see the start condition in our QA system, even the condition is there if I use SWB_COND. The workflow is working.

Hi Les/Weidong,
This has been answered in this list before.  Please take it up with OSS if you are still having problems.
It's possible you are missing a few OSS notes if you are on 4.6C or below.
Even if you are you can always transport the relevant table entries directly by using transaction SE16 (tables SWBRULE*,etc. ) to add the entries to a change request.
 
However the main thing to remember is that event linkages and start conditions are both client-dependent whereas the workflow itself is client-independent, so they have most likely been added to different change requests. So if you only transported the client-independent change request that might be part of your problem.

I posted the same problem last week and no one had a solution. Our BASIS
guru is supposedly investigating. If he figures it out, I will post to the
forum. In the meantime, he is going to open the "non-modifiable" QA systems
to allow to set the Start Conditions directly as an interim fix.

Hi there,
 
I had a issue with the trigger event assignment as well as start condition.
 
I create a workflow and assign an trigger event as well as a start
condition. After transport to QA, I can't see the start condition as well as
trigger event I had in the DEV system. There is nothing there. When I
checked the table for start and event table in QA, all the value are there.
 
 
Does anyone have the same issue before? Thanks in advance!
