Event triggered and 11 minutes later workflow started

[Carolyn Fuller]

Hi all,

I have a custom program that triggers a custom event via:

   CALL FUNCTION 'SWE_EVENT_CREATE'
        EXPORTING
             objtype              = z_object_type
             objkey               = z_objkey
             event                = z_event
             start_with_delay     = 'X'
             start_recfb_synchron = ' '
        IMPORTING
             event_id             = z_event_id
        TABLES
             event_container      = z_event_container
        EXCEPTIONS
             objtype_not_found    = 1
             OTHERS               = 2.
   COMMIT WORK.

This code was executed at 15:56:48 today. 11 minutes later (16:07:06)  
the workflow that is triggered by this event was launched.

This problem just started happening around mid-morning. Earlier this  
morning the end user said he did not encounter these kinds of  
problems. Any idea on where I should look for what is causing this 11  
minute delay? Is SWWDHEX  the background workflow job that kicks off  
workflow? It seems to be running in this environment (development)  
every 3 minutes with a 1 minute delay.
