Re: LSO event creation when creating a course booking (Kjetil Kilhavn)

[mikkomr@gmail.com]

Hi Kjetil,
We've had two workflow projects around course and event management in 2007 and 2008, both of them involved the course booking / attendance approval process.

The latter one was using LSO (SAP ERP 6.0), in which the standard bsp app raises the BO LSO_PARTIC event according to the wf config settings maintained as per your findings.

The project in 2007 (SAP ERP 5.0) was however more similar to your case since it didn't involve LSO (standard TEM only).  Our scope was to web enable the course booking functionality and to couple it with travel requests to create training trip requests :) I remember that during the solution build we very closely examined various alternatives but couldn't make the system raise any events (e.g. bapi_book_attendance or similar didn't raise a thing) upon attendance creation. 

What we did is that we went the abap oo wf way to have some fun at the same time (abap oo wf wasn't that new to us back then) :) So we created a custom booking request/class which included custom abap oo event raise logic upon attendance creation.

We didn't check for user exits since there were bapi's available for our wdj app. But maybe there are some available you could use to go with the custom event raise logic? And if not, I guess enhancements are the only option...

Hope this helps,
Mikko

The LSO (Learning Solution) has many good features, but I have run into an 
annoying problem.

When a booking is created in the SAP GUI using transaction LSO_PSV1 (Dynamic 
Participation Menu) no event is created to which I can respond. I have 
customized the workflow settings (table LSOWF_CUSTOMIZE). However, it seems 
this only works for booking "requests" created in the portal application. Here 
they are currently not using the portal for booking courses, and the current 
plan is to use it only for electronic courses (e-learning, web based 
training), not for classrom-based training.
Entries in LSOWF_CUSTOMIZE have been created for each delivery type, for 
booking and cancellarions, for event type P with WF_ACTION = "E" so the event 
should always be created

In desperation I also tried to add entries in transaction SWEHR3 for object 
type E, infotype 1001 and relationship A 025, just in case the "old" events 
where generated. No such luck!

Does anyone have experience with creating events in LSO for course bookings?
