SWWDHEX starts a French workflow

[Dart, Jocelyn]

Hi Paul, 
Maybe you should just get them to set on the inbox Personal Workflow Settings to translate work items to your own language (English) temporarily?
Or is the problem that French isn't giving you any text at all?

You could also try just updating WI_LANG on table SWWWIHEAD which should do the same thing.
Regards,
Jocelyn

Subject: SWWDHEX starts a French workflow


Regular readers of the WUG group might remember my question from a few
weeks ago:

        How is the WorkItemLanguage of a workflow set?

I had an urgent problem: mining engineers in the outback were receiving
workflow emails in French, and they weren't happy about it.

Using advice from Florin W. I tracked down the culprit: the deadline job
SWWDHEX (!). This job had been set up from SWU3 with a language of 'FR' (in
the 'step' tab).

When a workitem deadline expires, SWWDHEX (under user WF-BATCH) terminates
the current workitem. The workflow continues on and approves the
procurement  document (at the current release level), and this triggers a
new approval workflow for the next level.

This new workflow is started with the WorkItemLanguage copied from the
SWWDHEX job. Presumably the language id 'FR' is stored in SY-LANGU  at the
time that the workflow is triggered.

My question is now: how can I change SY-LANGU in the ABAP code, before the
next workflow is triggered?

In the code just before BAPI_REQUISITION_RELEASE_GEN I have tried:
- sy-langu = 'EN'.
- 'SET LOCALE LANGUAGE 'E'.

But neither have had any effect.

Is there a better approach? Or is there another way to stop the evil
influence of the SWWDHEX job?

thanks
Paul Bakker
