Virtual attributes evaluation and performance

[Shai Eyal]

Hi all,

I wanted to ask for you help with the issue in subject. I use virtual attribute 
quite often and it works OK. However I have one client where I suspect having 
performance issues with virtual attributes. Example: Simple approval workflow, 
agent is determined using a rule. Rule container if filled from BOR virtual 
attribute. Often the workflow goes into error for "Agent determination failed". 
I click "Restart after error" and now all works well. In addition, the problem 
only happens in production system. To me it feels like sometimes virtual 
attributes are not calculated immediately. This client posts many transactions 
every day but I believe SAP should know to handle it
I would also like to mention that the virtual attribute code is quite simple (no 
select statement or such).

Has anyone experienced something like this before? any recommendations? BTW, 
working with event queue handles this properly.

Thanks,
