Hi Werner,
 
I had the same problem when I tried to use the build in functionality of
DMWS to start WF's/Task's out of DMS-CHANGE-STATUS.
When I defined Event DRAW.CHANGE as starting Event for the WF the WF start's
but twice. One time out of DRAW.CHANGE.WS....., one time out of
DRAW.CHANGE.DOKST.
 
But from other discussions at this plenum I have read some weeks ago that it
should run at least for TS.
 
I know this is not just a helpful message but all I know myself.
 
What I have done is to implement in the DMS-BADI ...change_status... my own
events.
 
greetings
 
Heinz

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.

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.
