SWW_CONTOB entries missing

Tue Jul 6 20:00:29 EDT 2010

Thanks guys!

Some updates:

We have been using PV7i and PV8i transactions for training booking and
cancellation, and this FM is being called within FM
RH_GET_ATTENDEE_ACTIVITIES that in turn is called in the above transactions.
I will wait for their response prior to considering a change to
RH_GET_ATTENDEE_ACTIVITIES.

I also don't wish to change the persistence profile on the workflow without
knowing its implications especially after Eddie' response here
http://mailman.mit.edu/pipermail/sap-wug/2009-December/031753.html

The FM RH_GET_ATTENDEE_WORKITEMS was last changed in 2009.

I have raised an OSS message waiting to hear back from SAP.

Regards
Ravi
