BUS2089 CHANGE and APPROVE events

Wed Apr 6 09:49:25 EDT 2011

Hi Thanks for that, it was along those lines I was thinking. 

My workflow monitors the submission of the trip for approval, it then 
sends the trip for approval and after that to a back office for 
settlement. (so 2 blocks of activity Approval and Settlement)

The wait for change event runs in parallel to these 2 sequential blocks of 
activity and ends the workflow if a change occurs (or at least that's what 
I had in mind) so, a valid external change could happen after the 
approval, when its waiting for settlement. I would want the workflow to 
end, even though the Approval flag is set, how could i modify your initial 
suggestion to accommodate this?

Kind Regards

RE: BUS2089 CHANGE and APPROVE events

Hi,
When TRIP is getting approved, it will be updating fields in database 
table( some flag or value). Now you can create a check function module and 
attach it to ‘CHANGE’ wait step. If the flag for approval is updated, it 
should create an exception and hence would not trigger the wait for event 
step for “CHANGED”.
In case, it’s not approved and only changed, the flag will not be updated 
and CHAGE event will fire normally.
Hope this helps.

Thanks and Regards,

Hi 

I have a new workflow for TRIP approvals. I have an issue, in that in my 
workflow I have two wait for event legs, that are waiting for event 
APPROVED and event CHANGED, as the trip could be approved outside of the 
workflow (and /or changed outside the workflow) 

The problem is that when the TRIP is approved, both CHANGE and APPROVE 
events are issued, seeing the CHANGE event ends my workflow. 

I only want to recognise the change event, when it happens from outside 
the workflow, I thought a check function module on the change event, but 
how do I determine if the event was as a result of the TRIP being 
approved, or changed outside of the workflow (it could be approved outside 
of the workflow too). 

Kind Regards
