AW: Event - object key

[Kjetil Kilhavn]

Basically your problem is that you try to hack the system. There is a
reason they are called _instance_ events. It seems that you should list=
en
to an object type event instead - or perhaps rather re-consider your
solution design.
 
I can't really imagine what you are trying to do, but it sounds strange=
 
that you want to have a workflow which sits idle and waits for data to
collect. Collect where and for how long? Could you change it and have e=
ach
event report its data somewhere? Then each event could start a workflow=
 
which runs to its completion.

Sorry Robert, i don't know if i understood exactly what you mean.
I explain my details:
I trigger an event when someone creates a business event in PSV2.
I trigger the event manually (using SWE_EVENT_CREATE) out of a FM.
I can start a workflow and display the information of the business even=
t.
That works.
Now we want to collect data. That means when the first business event i=
s
created then start a workflow.
In the workflow there is a wait step which waits for the next business
event.
The problem that i have is the key:
When i want to check if there is already an instance running i never fi=
nd a
workflow
or when i wait for the event that the new business event raises then it=
 
does not continue
because the key from the new business event is different to the key of =
the
running workflow.

You could create your own event with >1 parameter which is a key.
What I am not getting is that you have 1 objectinstance waiting for an
event, but it waits for event of several different objects?
You wait for object with key A on events of objects with key B-Z???
You should create the instances in your workflow for the objects with k=
ey
B-Z and for each instance create a wait step.
OR raise the event for instance with key A and give the other keys in t=
he
new parameters and do a check on these values.

Hi Robert,
 
the problem in my case is that i have different keys each time i trigge=
r
the
event.
So what can i do?
Because i want to collect data in my workflow, so i collect the first d=
ata
and then create a wait step (within a loop) where i wait for the next d=
ata.
But the next data has an other key.
So i don't know how to solve that!
 
Regards,
Werner.

If you have >1 workflow waiting and you could trigger the event without=
 a
key, all workflow react on the event. You would like to only trigger th=
e
workflow which is waiting for the event for the specific key.
 
That is the use of the key!
 
SAP has set the key of the object mandatory to create an instance of th=
e
object. That is the way to raise an event, with an instance!

Hi workflowers,
 
i posted to you my problem with the step "wait for event" in my workflo=
w.
I know now why i didn't work.
The system entered an entry in transaction SWEINST for my object type a=
nd
my
event.
But when i use SWUE to trigger the used event, it only works for the ob=
ject
key that is entered for my event in SWEINST.
I left the field for the object key blank in SWEINST because i want to
trigger the event for every instance. But that does not work!
Does anybody know why i have to enter an object key???
 
Regards,
Werner.
