SWU_OBUF in EHP7

[Carolyn A Fuller]

Ionut,

I tested the Refresh Organizational Environment today and discovered strange behavior under EHP7 Release 740 SP-Level 0003.

1. I added someone to the approver's position
2. I created a transaction that triggered workflow that went to this position's inbox
3. I ran SWIA for the new approver and found workflows created on 04/08/2013 in her inbox but not the workflow I had just triggered
4. This new approver logged into the environment and went to her inbox. None of the workflows were there even though she just logged in.
5. She chose -> Settings -> Workflow Settings -> Refresh Organizational Environment in the Business Workplace
6. The workflows created on 04/08/2013 were in her inbox but the one workflow that I triggered a few moments after adding her to the position was not there.
7. I created a new transaction about 50 minutes after adding her to the inbox and it did show up in her inbox but the one created moments after she was added to the position never showed up.

Is there another method for refreshing the PDOrg that works reliably?

Hi Carolyn,

From my experience SWU_OBUF is used for WFs objects (also tasks, rules, etc) modifications. To get a refresh to the OM changes you can refresh OM from Business Workplace -> Settings -> Workflow Settings -> Refresh Organizational Environment (this way you should get the result that you are looking for immediately).

Subject: SWU_OBUF in EHP7

Hi,

We are in the process of upgrading to EHP7 Release 740 SP-Level 0003. This morning one of the workflow administrators added someone to one of our approver positions, back dating the relationship and then ran SWU_OBUF to refresh the PD Org buffers.

Some pre-existing transactions appeared in this person's inbox after that but not all of them. And 50 minutes after she was added to the position, a document was created and sent to her position but did not appear in her inbox. A couple of hours later she repeated the test and it did appear in her inbox.

Shouldn't SWU_OBUF have ensured that the transaction created 50 minutes later would have appeared in her inbox? Is there workflow buffer a problem with EHP7?
