How do CREATED terminating events link to task?

[Breslavets Sergey]

Hi Mike, 

it's simple really.
 
When u execute the workitem, the WF manager exports the Workitem ID to the memory and creates a special case of an instance linkage record (SWEINST) for that particular workitem and event 'CREATED' (object key is '*'). When the event 'Created' for that object type is raised (e.g. you posted an invoice) - WF manager will check the memory for the exported WI id, and then check the instance linkage for that ID number - if exists, it'll link the created object id to the workitem and completes the task. 

So that, ONLY if you create the object by executing the workitem you will have the WI ID exported and linkage record created, all other "CREATED" event will be ignored.

Regards,
SB

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
