Start a workflow due to a status change of a document

[Soady, Phil]

Sounds like a binding issue on the event...
Make sure the right objects and ALL objects are bound.
If you are happy that the binding is correct, ---> OSS message.

Hello Heinz, Simone, Phil.
Thanks for the quick response!
 
Heinz: I first tried WS and then i tried TS, but it was still the same.
Simone: There is no manual binding between the event and the workflow,
        because the application has to start the workflow.
        The event receiver isn't WS... or TS..., but DOKST.
          I insert the WS or TS in the customizing of the application.
          (SPRO -> Cross-Application Components -> DMS -> Control Data
           -> Define document types -> Choose one type -> Choose one =
status.)
Phil: When i use the transaction SWUE with DRAW->CHANGED and create the
event:
      Event was created - At least one event receiver was found!
        But there's an interesting point when i look again to the event =
trace:
        When i just create the event there are only red lights in the =
trace.
      And when i insert the status (where i inserted the workflow =
template)
        as an event parameter the green light appears with the number =
of the workflow.
      But the workflow doesn't start!
        With SWUS i can start the workflow without a problem!
 
Greetings,
Werner.

Betreff: Start a workflow due to a status change of a document
 
Hi workflow experts,
 
i want to start a workflow when somebody chages the status of a =
document (DMS). In the customizing i inserted a workflow template for a =
document status of a given document type. Then i activated the event =
linkage (DRAW -> CHANGED -> DOKST) like it is described in the =
documentation of the application. And when i change the status now the =
workflow should start. But it doesn' t start.
 
When i switch on the event trace there is one entry: event receiver =
started correctly! The entry includes the number of the workflow =
template and a green light.
 
But i don't know what's wrong?!
The documentation of SAP about this is very slight.
 
Thanks a lot!
Werner.
