How to Start workflow on customer table?

[Soady, Phil]

Good Advise Kjetil
 
The worshipping comment also applies (S)ubmit (A)nd (P)ray ;-)
 
but seriously the best way to integrate an application into the WF world is via events.
It also from a design viewpoint the most elegant way.
 
Relatively simple amounts code to raise an event.
 
So if you have Z tables, you presumably update them ?
While you are at it, raise an event
OBJECT.CREATED, CHANGED,,, whatever
 
If you have a more sophisticated application, then change docs
make a nice extra.
 
The   first extra should be an Event in my view.
 
regards
phil.

You will have to code something no matter which god you worship. Either you
have to program event creation, or you have to program change documents or
you have to program a direct start of your workflow.
 
Safest solution I can think of at the moment: create an API for access to
the table and always use it
- raise a CREATED event whenever your API inserts a new entry
- raise a CHANGED event whenever your API updates an entry
and so on.
 
I prefer events to direct starts of workflows. The overhead is not even
microscopic compared to our monthly data volume growth and system load.

If you are going to use the event (i.e. SAVED or CREATED) then you need
to use SWE_EVENT_CREATE to raise the event and then enable the type
linkage to your WF definition (SWETYPV) or use Start Conditions
(SWB_COND)
 
If you don't want to start your WF from an event, you might want to try
using FM SWW_WI_START_SIMPLE.

Hi all,
 
 
 
I run on 4.7
 
 
 
I created a  Z  table (customer table) and now I want to start workflow
for every new line in my table.
 
I created a new business object base my table and also created a event
in business object.
 
How I will start my workflow via the Event without coding program with
function
 
 SWE_EVENT_CREATE ? (Can I?)
