WF-BATCH

Tue Jul 20 09:52:07 EDT 2004

This is the problem we are having in PSS:

PO's are created by the departmental end user and routed through work
centers based on certain criteria (account assignment, material group,
amount, etc.).  If the PO does not need to be released by a particular
work center, it will skip over that work center via WF-BATCH and move on
to the next work center.

I am unable to re-create the problem in QSS and noticed that there are
several jobs under WF-BATCH in that environment.  There are no jobs
under WF-BATCH in PSS.  The only job in PSS is SWWERRE (run hourly).

Not all of the PO's are getting stuck in the wrong work center.  I am
not able to find any common links.  I had assumed that someone had
changed the timing of the scheduled jobs because we were having some
issues with our FI parked documents not posting.  It was determined that
the cause of that was due to new fields brought over in funds
management, not WF-BATCH.

Hi Monique,

This depends on the specific job and the way the workflows are modelled
(how many deadlines, need for retry of temporary errors). So I can't
give you an answer to your question.

In our system (4.6C) the following workflow related jobs are scheduled:

   * SWWERRE: error monitoring - runs every 20 minutes
   * SWWDHEX: deadline monitoring   runs every 15 minutes

But before you change something to your scheduling I would suggest you
to further investigate/analyze your problem, i.e. is it really related
to the scheduling of the jobs?

Regards,

Fred Kouw
