defining a fork step in workflow

[Toledo, Joe (NBC Universal)]

Hi there Shushil,

 

A couple of things:  Have you check SM58 to make sure that you don't have
any errors in delivering the events?  

 

Ideally you should be able to track this down in your DEV or QA environments
by using the event trace and logs, but if you are unable to do so, you can
turn on the event trace in production (Tcode SWELS) but I would limit it to
your specific object type and then check your event trace (SWEL) after a PO
is released and see if you can spot anything there.  You should turn the
event trace off as soon as your can, so it does not fill up the logs.

 

I hope this helps...

Subject: defining a fork step in workflow

 

Hi All,

 

Could someone please explain what the necessary branches (on the control
pane of fork definition - end condition) means? I have 3 branches and need
to make sure the WF listens for two events while it is doing normal WF steps
on the third parallel branch. I need the workflow to go to those branches
when it hears those events. Currently, I am noticing it listens to one event
in some cases and both events in most cases. 

 

Also, is there a way I can go back and read the workflow log for an instance
to see if certain event raised? 

 

Issue at hand: I have a PO that is released and the terminating event for
the step is RELEASED but the step is still in 'started' status and I see the
PO is already released. Even when it is released directly in ME29N, it
should receive the event and that branch should start. I looked at the
technical details of WF log but don't see anything regarding which event was
raised (which I see when I look at another instance that worked as
expected). How would I check if an event (that was supposed to trigger) did
or did not trigger? Is there some report that will help me analyze this?

 

For future events I could turn the event trace on but I did not have it on
when this happened. I don't know if it is recommended to turn on event trace
in production either.

 

I appreciate your help.

 

Thanks,

 

Sushil
