Receiver does not start

Question

Hello all
I have workflow base on business object BUS2081 (incoming invoice).
Until those days triggering event was POST event with start condition, and every thing was fine.
When I replace it with created event (post event is inactive)- with same start condition,
I can trigger the workflow with trans. SWUE (create event), BUT when I make miro trans. And I look on the event trace (SWEL) I see that the event status is "check ends with exception".
Why does the receiver start with SWEL. but not with MIRO.
When I delete the start condition – everything fine with miro trns.

Hello Eyal,
the .created-Event is possibly executed within the context of the update process where the db-fields are not available, yet. It is a timing question.
I'm using the .posted-Event with workflow start condition successfully. This one is executed after the DB update task.
If you still have such problems that specific data is not available upon the check function module I use the following workaround:
1. Create a receiver-FM with the same signature as SWW_CREATE_VIA_EVENT.
2. Put your check-FM coding here
3. Call standard FM sww_create_via_event afterwards, if the check was successful.
This solution has to (small) drawbacks:
- In the event log you'll always see: "Receiver started correctly", even if the check function (i.e. now the receiver function) didn't start the workflow
- It is more performance intensive, because the RFC is executed for all events.
Best wishes,
Florin
