Triggering an event based on a custom HR infotype field

[Joe_Toledo@capgroup.com]

Hi there Ali,

A couple of thoughts.

Have you considered SWEHR3 to raise the event(s) "real-time?"     You 
could have 2 events being triggered for the custom info type.

On the workflow that is triggered to send out the notification, create a 
Wait for Event task that has a modeled deadline for "Latest End"  and have 
that send out the 2nd notification if the 2nd event is not raised within 
the required time frame.

Hope this helps.

Triggering an event based on a custom HR infotype field







Dear WF Experts,

I need to trigger an event based on a specific field in a custom HR 
infotype. I need to read a date field from there and do some calculations 
to it and if it passes a certain validation in the code I need to trigger 
a WF. I thought of scheduling an ABAP program to run in the background 
once a day to read the data – do the calculation – trigger the event to 
start the WF if needed. However, i’m thinking there might be a better 
solution which is by monitoring the infotype field itself from the WF 
side. The reason being is I want to send a notification when the event is 
triggered and then I need to wait for a week and see if there is action 
taken and if not I need to trigger another notification. So if I use the 
bg job option to trigger the WF I guess I have to use another background 
job to monitor what happens after a week. That’s why I’m thinking it might 
be better to do something in WF to solve this instead of scheduling two bg 
jobs one to trigger the event and one to monitor. Is there a better more 
efficient solution to do this? How would i link that check to a specific 
HR infotype field if that's the better option?

Thanks a lot in advance.
Ali
