[46C] SAP_WAPI_CREATE_EVENT works fine in Dev - no eventcreated inQA system

[Mike Pokraka]

Hi Kjetil,
I missed the evetn queue bit in your original post.... perhaps because you
didn't mention it?
It makes perfect sense though. Have a look in the system log (SM21) -
you'll most likely see a rollback happening when using the queue.
This may be a bug in the event queue, if the event is published straight
away it can all go in the same LUW. Perhaps the rest of the LUW expects
the event to have happened (HR is weird!) and decides to rollback if it
doesn't find it. It might be worth reporting if you don't come up with a
definite answer.

As a test, do the nasty thing and put a COMMIT WORK statement after the
SAP_WAPI function call. Or - now that you can reproduce it in dev - try
one of the SWE_EVENT... FM's.

Cheers
Mike
