Waiting condition step - any better ideas?

[Sue Doughty]

Cristiana,
 
I walked through a new Hire in our system.  We're currently on 4.7 but
testing in ECC 6.0.  Infotype 0002 is stored before Infotype 0001 in our
system, so the Personal data is there when the event is triggered and
the text in the workflows descriptions contain all the information.  Is
there a way to specify in SAP the order in which the Infotypes would be
stored for a New Hire?
 
We also send most of our events through the Event Queue (SWEQADM).  The
job that delivers the events runs every five minutes, so 9 times out of
10 all of the info types would be stored by the time the event is
delivered.  There would be occasions, though, where the event would hit
the queue right before the job would execute and all of the data would
not be stored.

Hi all, 

we are in ECC 6.0 

We have a workflow that gets triggered when a new employee is hired. The
triggering of the even actually happens when Infotype 0001 is saved. 

The work item that is sent upon hire has the Name of the employee as
part of its text. The email that is sent to the Distribution List when
an employee is hired, contains the Name of the employee as part of its
text. 

The Infotype 0002 gets saved after Infotype 0001.... 

So, the work item and the email text do not have the Name of the
employee when the workflow gets triggered. 

To 'solve' the problem, I have created a Wait step in the workflow with
a Wait for Condition (is Employee Name NE blank?). 

Report RSWWCOND has been set up and everything is working absolutely
fine. 

I am only wondering if there is a better way of doing what I did? 

Cheers,

Cristiana
