AW: Start workitem immediately within the application

[Werner Kößl]

Thanks Kjetil & Phil for your quick response!
 
I use the standard triggering event DRAW->CHANGED with receiver type
'DOKST'.
 
In the customizing i have the possibility to enter a workflow template for
every document type and for every document status.
Now when somebody changes exactly the given status the CHANGED-event is
raised.
 
I don't know how to do that.
 
Can you explain me what synchronous and asynchronous event handling means?
And what is event Q?
I never heard this before.
 
Thank you so much!!!
Werner.

Lieber Werner,
 
if the event is processed and the wf started by WF-BATCH ( a background )
user,
then how can the workflow connect back to your modi ?
And interesting security issue.
 
The workflow must be started by the current user. Ie no asynchronous
handling.
 
Any chance of calling swe_event_create synchronously ?
See the flag on the Function call.
 
That implies no event Q ? Well, I've never tried synchronous and event q.
 
At least now, the user should get the user decision.

Subject: Start workitem immediately within the application
 
 
Hi everyone,
 
we start one workflow when someone changes the status of a document. But the
first workitem should be executed immediately after the change of the
status. (Not only created, but executed!)
 
The first workitem is a user decision, and the receiver of the first
workitem is WF_INITIATOR. The "Advance with immediate dialog"-field is
marked in the workflow template and in the first step.
 
But the workitem does not execute!
 
Does anybody have an idea?
 
Regards,
Werner.
