Problem using workflow - Agent not ready

Question

Dear all, i'm not a workflow expert. I've created a workflow that works correctly when i test it using transaction SWDD, but I have an error of "no agent ready" when i process it using fm SWE_EVENT_CREATE.
the task is defined in this way:
Agent         Expression:  &_WF_INITIATOR&
but I also try this:
Agent         User :   ACNDEV (my user)
....and also I try to leave the agent blank.
I call the workflow  rasing the event "CREATED" in that way:
VA_CREATOR-OTYPE = 'US'.
VA_CREATOR-OBJID = SY-UNAME.
CALL FUNCTION 'SWE_EVENT_CREATE'
  EXPORTING
    objtype                       = 'ZTESTFLOW'
    objkey                        = 'ZTESTFLOW'
    event                         = 'CREATED'
   CREATOR                       = VA_CREATOR
TABLES
   EVENT_CONTAINER               = wi_container
The workflow start but at first task it is stopped with the message "No agent ready".
I already have try in different way, but i don't find any solution.
Anybody can help me ?

Hi
The possibilities are
1. Instead of making use of the SWE_EVENT_CREATE try to make use of the SAP_WAPI_CREATE_EVENT function module.
2. Try to refresh the organizational assignment from SBWP transaction on menu SBWP-> SETTINGS--> WORKFLOW SETTINGS -
> Refresh organizational environment.
I am sure that when ever you are trying to create or raise a event then it is not mandatory that you have to make the workflow template as general task.. but yes you have to maintain the agent assignment if you want to start the workflow directly like by using SAP_WAPI_START_WORKFLOW.
Also if you are facing this issue with some standard task but not with the workflow template then it is a problem with the agent assignment. in that case make  sure that the proper agent assignment settings are maintained for the respective standard task.  as mentioned in the above posts.
