Simultaneous change documents only triggering one event

[Workflow99@aol.com]

Hi Partha,
 
1) Yes. You would actually enter the FM name in SWEC for the event that is
getting triggered.
 
2) Try the template SWE_CD_TEMPLATE_EVENT_FB.
 
3) One change document is associated with one object key. The CDHDR and
CDPOS records for that key are available to you in the FM as well as the event
that triggered the execution of the FM. You can examine the changes and decide
to either raise or not raise the event. If you delete the event from the int.
table no event is triggered. On the other hand you can populate the events
int.  table with any other events you want to trigger for the same object key.
 
4) I am not sure if it is a good idea to explicitly raise events from  within
this FM. If you have to do it, make sure you use the update  task version of
SWE_EVENT_CREATE. All the parameters for  SWE_CD_TEMPLATE_EVENT_FB or optional
and are populated by SAP. Your code  can examine the changes, make DB reads
and decide what events to  raise.

Hi  Ramki,
 
A few follow-up questions:
 
1) I assume I am to enter a  z-version of SWE_CD_TEMPLATE_EVENT_FB_2
under t-code SWED to enable this  functionality?
 
2) When I enter a z-version of this, SAP insists on  OBJECTKEY being part
of its interface even though this is not part of the  interface being
delivered in the template FM.  SWED will not save  unless I put this in
so I am a little in the dark as to what the  'Structure' field in SWED is
being used for.
 
3) If I use a z-version  of this in SWED, and I pass out multiple
OBJECTKEY/EVENT will multiple  events be raised from SAP?
 
4) Is the idea in using a z-version of  SWE_CD_TEMPLATE_EVENT_FB_2 to
pass out multiple  EVENTS/CHANGEDOCUMENT_POSITION values that then gets
interpreted by SAP to  raise events?  And if so, then why is SAP asking
for OBJECTKEY as part  of the interface in SWED?  Or am I supposed to use
this function  module to call events using SWE_EVENT_CREATE?
 
If there is additional  documentation you can point me to as how these
function modules are  interpreted by SAP I would appreciate it.
 
With regards,
Partha  Chatterjee

Hi Partha,
 
I do trigger multiple events for  the same change document number. In my
case
the object is ANLA and  change could be in any of the tables associated
with
it (ANLA, ANLB,  ANLC, ANLU, ANLZ etc).You can still use the event FM to
get
the   the results you need (see FM  SWE_CD_TEMPLATE_EVENT_FB_2).

Hi  Ramki,
 
The  problem is not multiple events on a single change  document
object--I
already have that and that functions  correctly.
 
The  problem is I need multiple events triggered  simultaneously from the
same  change document number.  In my  case, I have multiple entries for
the  same change document number  (different table keys for each entry)
in
CDHDR  table.  SAP is  kicking off an event for the first record in a
single  change document  but ignoring the others since the other entries
do not have  their own  change document number but rather just their own
unique tabkey  entry  under the same change document number.
 
I suspect this   functionality is as intended by SAP but I need some way
of working  around  it if there is not configuration to change  the
functionality.

Hi Partha,
 
I have  multiple events  defined on a single change document object  and
all  my
events  trigger correctly (R/3 6.20). One option  is to write an  event
function
module for the triggered event and  control the triggering  of the second
event  from  there.

Hi  All,
 
I have  change documents to trigger  workflows in the EHS  area.   They
work
fine, however,  when I save 2 records at the same time   and they  create
2
simultaneous change documents (same change document    number but
different
table keys) they only trigger one of the 2   necessary  events.
 
I would expect to see 2 events raised but  I  only see one.   I have
turned
on the Event Queue and  it only  sees one event as  well.
 
I can think of a workaround  where I can  use the event that does
trigger
to start the workflow  and then have a  background step that checks  if a
second (third,  fourth etc.)workflow  should be started but I would
prefer
to  change the problem at the  source.
 
Any   ideas?
 
Thanks,
Partha  Chatterjee
