Advice required on DMS workflow!

[Vinod Viswanathan]

Hi group,

I am currently working on a DMS workflow. 

The workflow should be updated with every status change to a DMS
document and perform necessary actions depending upon the DMS status.
New wf instances should not be triggered.

I have two issues:-

1. Initially my workflow had 'STATUSCHANGED' as the only start event.
When the DMS document status was 

    changed, the workflow did not trigger on the 'STATUSCHANGED' event.
I noticed in SWEL(event trace) 

     that no event was triggered. 

          Then I added 'CHANGED' event along with 'STATUSCHANGED'. But
in vain! Yet, two workflow instances 

      were triggered. SWEL(event trace) now showed 'CHANGED' event
triggered twice.

 

2.  I put a start condition such that the workflow should be triggered
only for the first document status.

      But new wf instances are triggered(2 more again!) inspite of the
start condition. 

      The new status is not updated in the existing workflow.  Should I
fetching the new status from the database tables inspite of it 

      being available to me in the wf event container?

 

      I was told that the status should get updated automatically.
Kindly help!

      Thanks a lot for your help in advance!

Best Regards,

Vinod
