Is WF Logical destination required

[Florin Wach (gmx)]

Hello Alon,

I once had a problem with the event linkage, so I went through the class implementation of that cl_swf_event (or however that exactly name was). The statement that I found there was pretty clear that a logical RFC destination was required (though I didn't look for that "synchronous-delivery"-Option, Mark was talking about), i.e.  CALL FUNCTION '...' DESTINATION wf STARTING NEW TASK.  Which basically creates that tRFC. This way is also required to switch the user ID to the WF-BATCH, which is a must, if you don't want to grant users authorizations that are reserved for background tasks (depending on what the implementation is, of course).
So I'd say that: The logical destination /is/ required +  I don't see a benefit, if you don't have it, so I wouldn't put any effort in solving a problem, that just isn't there :-)

Best wishes,
Florin

  Fellow Wuggers,

  I was recently told by a BASIS person that the logical destination for workflow (the one generated in SWU3) is not actually required. After I picked myself up off the floor I explained that it was my understanding that it was quite necessary. To add to my confusion, I did see workflows triggering and running the system. My understanding was that the logical destination was used to enable the tRFC functionality which ensured that the Workflow did execute even if not enough system resources were available. Mark Pyc (thanks Mark) also shared his understanding which was that the logical destination is used to make sure that the Workflow code executes in its own logical unit work. I am not sure if anything I have written is right so I would appreciate it if people could share their understanding. 

  Is the logical destination required? 
  What precisely is its its role?
