Custom HR Event - Key not filled in certain circumstances

[Keohan, Susan - 1140 - MITLL]

Hello all,

We have a custom workflow to notify when a retiree is rehired.  It's been
running quite happily for 10 years.

The workflow is triggered by the event ZREHIRED, which is configured in
ZWEHR3 with a nice Z_HR_EVENT_RULES_PA0001 which determines if the correct
action has occurred, we want to raise the ZREHIRED event.

 

And then the Enhancement Packs happened.  We are on SAP ECC 6.0 - and
recently upgraded to EHP5 SPS11.

Since then this event is not always being raised with a Key filled in.
Sometimes it is!  But sometimes it is NOT.

I have determined that a series of events, REHIRED and POSITIONCHANGED
precede the custom event when it has blank/zilch/nichts for a pernr.

 

I have debugged and debugged, searched and searched.  

 

The nearest thing to an explanation I can come up with is that, during the
course of saving the rehired person to their organization, the function

HR_ASSEMBLE_OBJECTKEY is called, and comes back with an empty
BUSINESSOBJECTKEY.  Please notice in the debugger screen shot below that the
field is empty.

 

I could show you screen shots of the event log and the events that had a
key, and those that did not.  I could show a lot of junk. 

But I think the key is right here (so to speak).

Has anyone else encountered a problem like this?  
And who can I beat up for the way HR events are piggy-backed?

 



 

 

Kind regards,
Sue
