ESS changes for W-4

[Dart, Jocelyn]

Hi Rick,
With HR infotype changes that contain the "Lock indicator" in the key functions such as
approve/requestcancelled/approvecancelled/etc. change the lock indicator and therefore the
key of the record, so by implication a different object instance is required.
 
So when you run a function like approve you need to look at the event parameters - usually the
object id gives you the before object instance and there is an additional parameter to get the after object instance.
If you don't capture the right key for your next activity you will get the object does not exist
message.
 
You need to test that the after instance is being returned correctly.

I have create a WF to process an ESS W-4 change.
We are using ADDRESSEMP.REQUESTED to trigger the WF.
 
I can get the WF to start just fine.
 
I can delete the record via Portals Delete (ADDRESSEMP.REQUESTCANCELLED)
and this terminates the WF just fine.
 
I can go into PA30 and unlock / save the 210 W4 and this terminates the WF just fine.
via (ADDRESSEMP.REQUESTCANCELLED)
 
The only problem I am having now is with a step to Unlock the record via
a task with ADDRESSEMP.APPROVEINTERACTIVE.
The object key is:ADDRESSEMP00020704FED   X9999123120040406000
 
I get:
Object does not exist
Message no. OL 826
Diagnosis
You tried to create an instance of the object type with the key RECORDNUMBERHIGH. No instance of this kind exists.
 
Any thoughts?
Looking at the wrong record (old record verses newly created record)?
 
 
We are on 4.6c
