Delay in filling attributes with data

[Dart, Jocelyn]

Hi Robert,
Sounds like you have a bug in your code.
Make sure you read the property ValidTo rather than try and duplicate
its processes,
i.e. swc_get_property self 'ValidTo' validto.
Then do your code.
Also check if there is any issues with determining timezones that might
be causing you problems.

Subject: Delay in filling attributes with data
 
 
Hello fellow workflowers,
 
I have the following problem:
 
I have created 3 new attributes for the BUS2000115 (Sales Order).
- ValidTo
- ValidTo2
- ValidTo2Early
 
The first (ValidTo) gets the DATE_2 out of the CRMD_ORDER_INDEX which
belongs to the GUID. This goes well!
But because this is a TimeStamp it can not be used for deadlines in a task.
So I have created a second attribute (ValidTo2) which uses FM
IB_CONVERT_FROM_TIMESTAMP to convert the timestamp to a DATE format. Then it
can be used for deadline usage.
A third attribute (ValidTo2Early) takes 1 day off ValidTo2. (desired end
deadline)
 
My problem:
When I create a Sales Order (Quot. Internet Sales) my workflow starts. I
look in the workflow log and see that ValidTo is filled but ValidTo2 and
ValidTo2Early are not filled! I go out of the log and back into the log and
Validto2 is filled. When I go out of the log and back into the log for the
third time, ValidTo2Early is finally filled.
 
Time dependent isn't the problem, I have tried it right at the start of the
workflow and after a few minutes and always the same problem.
 
I also tried to check the data of the object and all 3 attributes are filled
immediately.
 
What is causing the delay? It is a big problem because the workflow can not
continue without the filled attributes (for the deadlines).
 
Thanks in advance,
