Copy of task TS50000075 and EXTSRV - termination event not working

Question

Hi,
We have done copy of TS50000075 and extended business object EXTSRV to ZEXTSRV
this was done to call function module ISR_CALL_FOR_CHANGE to open up adobe form in edit mode
it works well but the task is not terminated
if termination event is put just like TS50000075 like WIOBJECT, ZEXTSRV COMPLETED then workitem never ends and always stays in inbox
ZEXTSRV COMPLETED event is not triggered when the workitem is completed in the UWL
even if we trigger this event programatically , it does not find receiver and the task stays in-process
if termination event is put as _WORKITEM PROCESSED then it bahves like synchronous task ie even if the workitem is clicked and form is not completed, the workitem ends. so the user can click it only once
also i've tried following
1 - used the function module to complete the workitem in QISR BADI. but the workitem ID is not available inthe BADI. If I try to export it from business object method and import in BADI, it doesnt work
2 - find active workflows and derive workitem id and complete workitem using FM SAP_WAPI_WORKITEM_COMPLETE
     this FM doesnt work , step becomes logically deleted which is not desirable
3 - find active workflows and derive workitem id and complete workitem using other FM SAP_WAPI_SET_WORKITEM_COMPLETD
     work item is complete but there is workflow error - cannot determine succesor node
4 - find active workflows and derive workitem id and change a particular container element
    check this container element in complete workitem condition in activity step of dialog step of workflow of this task-
     workitem stays inprocess
    check this container element in parellel wait step to complete the workitem-
     parellel step executes but fork is not complete, workflow doesnt proceed
kindly help in this matter. the workitem does not get completed at all even if we force complete, workflow goes in error of - cannot determine succesor node.
is there anything specific to the EXTSRV-PROCESS method which makes the TS50000075 task to trigger EXTSRV-COMPLETED and end the workitem ?
help is much needed in this case
thank you,
b

Hi,
You need to see the event in SWEL, otherwise it will never work with workflow. Make sure that the event monitor is on (in transaction SWELS).
I cant see the event in SWEL. The vent monitor is on because if I create event in SWUE, it shows up.
How you actually create the event now?
There is BADI QISR which is always called to handle user action of PDF form. I have written the function modue to create event in the user action
>If i trigger it using funciton module -- then it doesnt find any receivere so it doesnt terminate the task. it is seen in SWEL with no receiver found. do i still need to do commit work ?
You need the COMMIT WORK always if you trigger the event in any program&function or whatever.
ok ill try doing commit work after the create event function module
Test your event with transaction SWUE. Make a test case first in a way that the task is waiting in the inbox/UWL. Then create the event in SWUE. Now, if the task gets completed, you will know that that event itself is working and your terminating event configuration is done properly. If this works, your only problem is in the event creation itself. And for that you need to tell exactly how you create the event. If you do it with your own custom code, use SAP_WAPI_CREATE_EVENT and don't forget to have COMMIT WORK after the function call.
I am doing exactly like you said. but it doesnt work ie even if I create the event in SWUE, the workitem doesnt get completed.
This event is seen in SWEL with no receivere found
I am able to infact set the workitem to complete using WAPI funciton module to complete teh task in the BADI.
but the workflow goes in to error saying , next node cannot be determined
