View is not retuning data when creating XML message through workflow

Question

Hi All,
This is a very critical problem for me. I am trying to send an XML message (outbound) through XML gateway. This is done from a custom workflow. The message creation is done from the standard procedure ecx_document.sendDirect. The data for the XML file is taken from two views (whcih are created in a custom schema and have synonym in apps). One view for header and another one for line information (I am creating an XML for a purchase order).
The problem is when the workflow try the first time to create a message, the views are not returning data. So message creation fails. Now, if we restart the workflow after some time, it will work and the message is created. What could be the reason for this sort of a behaviour ?
I am using business events to trigger the workflow. The data in the table/view will be updated by standard POAPPRV workflow activities. The custom workflow is subscribed to a business event raised from POAPPRV workflow, at a certain point. So this will execute when this event is raised from POAPPRV wf. The subscription has a phase value of 99.
Any help on this regard will be much appreciated, as this is a critical issue.
Thanks in advance,
Arun
PS : One more thing : this is happening mostly in the production instance where the number of messages is very high (freqency).

Hello,
With the BAPI_EQUI_CREATE you can only create PM equipments not IS-U devices that why there is no IS Tab .
You have to use the dialog transactions IQ01, IQ04 or the MM transaction, where you can create devices through a movement.
There is objecttype DEVICE (SWO1) with the following methods:
-> Device.CreateFromData (Create Equipment Master Record)
-> Device.Create (Create Equipment Master Record)
-> Device.CreateISU (Create IS-U: Modification for IS-U)
Please check whether you can use method Device.CreateISU for your requirement.
