Triggering Events for HR

[Ramki Maley]

Another way would be to create an Event Receiver FM that updates a Z 
table and then a periodic job that triggers the Workflow once for Each 
Employee (your own event queue). SAP_WAPI_WORKITEMS_TO_OBJECT may have 
timing/db update issues since all the Workflows are starting in the same 
LUW.

Ramki.
