BO Attribute Issue - Resolved

Mon Jan 20 16:11:05 EST 2014

Hi Rick,

The initial value of N does NOT show in the new workflow that I moved it to…..so I’m thinking that was the issue…..even though I don’t know how it got that way.

Things that make you go “hummmm”.

Hi Sue,

Thanks for the update. Too bad you had to resort to that but it goes to show that (nearly) every problem can be fixed somehow.
I'm still intrigued by that initial value of N. Does it still show that?

regards
Rick

Hi,

I thought I would let everyone know…..I did what Rick suggested and I took the task steps out of the first workflow and put them in another workflow (by copying the task from the old workflow into one that was already working fine) and the issue is resolved.

Makes no sense to me….but ok!  ☺

Thanks to everyone for your help!!

Hi Sue,

Thanks. What datatype is the attribute? Clutching at straws here...

Often when something strange happens in workflow (which isn't often) I delete the step and re-create it.

Hi Rick,

I went ahead and put a wait for 60 seconds and it still did not work.

Hi Rick,

I thought of that too.  ☺  So, I put in an instantiate object method right before I check that flag.  Still does not work.

Hi Sue,

Maybe the attribute hasn't been set at that point. Try putting a 1 minute wait step beforehand, just to test.

Hi Mark,

It is a custom field.  It is ‘Y’ on the ztable where the data resides.

G'day Sue,

Is that field a custom field or a standard SAP one? Does it have input conversion routines on the Domain where 'Y' might actually be 'J' on the database??

Have fun,
Mark

Hi Sue,

I have to ask: does False lead to "No"?

Hello,

I am at my wit’s end….which isn’t difficult to do.  ☺  I have working on this all day…..it has to be something simple, but I cannot find it.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I have a new workflow (we are on Release 731) ECC 6.0.  The BO (ZLCCLAIM) has an attribute called Company Car and it will be Y or N.

When I trigger the event, the event shows it as Y
[cid:image002.png at 01CF15FA.3753A670]

In the workflow that gets triggered, the attribute still shows as Y
[cid:image003.png at 01CF15FA.3753A670]

But when it hits the condition in the workflow to check if &ZLCCLAIM.COMPANYCAR& = Y, it fails

[cid:image004.png at 01CF15FA.3753A670]

Here is the condition in the workflow.
[cid:image005.png at 01CF15FA.3753A670]

What am I missing?
