Virtual attributes evaluation and performance

[Morris, Eddie]

Hi Shai,

It may be possible that the agent determination is not caused by the virtual attribute performance but by the user who executes the step (And therefore the agent determination) is missing PLOG authorization. See note 755767.  Please add this authorization object to your users and test again.

Regards,
Eddie

Subject: Virtual attributes evaluation and performance

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,
