Problems with Event Creator step

Tue Mar 24 09:57:35 EDT 2009

Tor,

HCM P&F strikes again.  As long as you have the container object
"PROCESS_OBJECT" in both WF containers, the the P&F class
CL_HRASR00_POBJ_WF_EXIT should find the GUID and hence the case object.

Since you stated that the form displays, but without any values I don't
think the problem is in the workflow.  I think it's in the Design Time
(HRSAR_DT) config that transfers values between the forms/scenarios.  I
would look there to confirm it is set to pass the values.

I have added a test step that calls TS17900110 to upload missing fields to
the WF container to confirm that infact they are still populated.

Another place to look is the form itself.  Does it use a custom service?  If
the custom service isn't defined properly, fields such as PERNR get lost.

If you haven't already, check out
https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/weblogs?blog=/pub/wlg/10037 and look at bug
number 4.

I know you said the process works fine if you execute it as a main workflow,
but does it work correctly if you send the reminder from your current main
workflow?

Please share what you find.  I'm sure I'll run into the same problem.

David.
