How do CREATED terminating events link to task?

[Dart, Jocelyn]

Hi Mike, 

Yes very special... CREATED events are usually raised using the special
function module SWE_EVENT_CREATE_for_upd_task where it picks up the Work
item Id currently in process so that it only closes the current work
item on completion.  There's a bit on it in "the bible" and also in SAP
Help.

Subject: How do CREATED terminating events link to task?

Hi all, 

I'm curious as to how terminating events link to async tasks, and in
particular
what makes CREATED events 'special': 

If I my terminating event is DOCUMENT.FUBAR, anyone can fubar the
document
outside of workflow and it will complete the task. This is a good thing.

So the logical conclusion is that an async CREATE method with a CREATED
terminating event will terminate itself when *anyone* creates a document
of
that type. Not so, if I use CREATED, *only* a document created by
executing
that task will terminate the task. This is a good thing, but how is this
accomplished? I mean, even if I excecute the WI which takes me to a
transaction
and I do a '/nwhatever' to restart the same transaction in the same
session and
then create a document, the CREATED event gets raised but won't
terminate my
task. How? Why?

Any insight appreciated, 
Cheers
Mike
