Thanks everyone, you have confirmed my thoughts and practices regarding 
initiating workflows via events.

Thanks to all,

Thanks Ravi, 
 
Exactly so! 
 
And even for the volume situations you have the event queue - which lets 
you smooth out the volume, and also lets you redeliver any failed events 
from the event browser. 
 
As for events being "tricky" because they can be raised in multiple places 
- that's what makes the event so useful - your workflow will be 
started/ended by the event regardless of what scenario you are using. 
 
And by the way if  you dislike HCM workflows so far  ... look out for the 
HR Admin Services solution in ECC 6.0 Enhancement Pack 2 - very very cool 
stuff. 
 
Starting workflows directly is an avenue of last resort in a production 
environment. 
 
Regards,
Jocelyn

Hi Hal
 
The standard setup in SAP is generally via events. Most of the business 
processes trigger events which are used by most developers as the primary 
method of workflow trigger. This enables better monitoring through the 
Event trace, event queue, etc. These are not possible while kicking off 
workflows directly, where you may have to pass messages back to the 
initiating application if there were problems starting the workflow, which 
in most instances may not be meaningful to the end user. Also, the single 
great feature of event mechanism is the ability to retrigger them from 
SWUE by just passing the object key (in most instances).
