Wait for Event in Fork - How to terminate the wortkflow in leg 2

Hi Experts,
My scenario is that there is a fork with 2 branches. 1 has a change Doc method. In this I have raised an enent when a action is performed which in turn calls a wait for event in other leg. The problem is that the other loop is executing but the workflow is not coming out of leg 1. The work item remains in the agents workplace.
How to correct this?
Thanks,
Dinesh

in the FORK step you have an option of mentioning the "necessary steps".
it defines the minimum number of legs of the FORK step that must be completed before proceeding to the next step in the WF.
mention the necessary step as 1 for your case.

  • Error in wait for event activity

    hi all,
    i am gettin gfollowing error when i am using wait for event activity in my WF.
    wait step 0000000088: No valid object ID in container element 'EVENT_BOR'
    'EVENT_BOR' is my container element of type BOR object which contain event.
    please tell me correct way to use wait for event step.
    i am using this on one parallel branch of Fork.
    thanks.

    Hi,
    check the event in SWO1 if there is an import parameter defined. If there is one you have to define the binding in the task waiting for event. You have to bind the relevant object type from workflow to containerelement &_WI_OBJECT_ID& of the event container.

  • Wait for Event step in Workflow (Urgent).

    Hi,all!
    I am unable to implement the wait for event successfully in my workflow..
    Sceanrio: I have created a container element in the WF with of type a <b>BOR(ISUPARTNER)</b> whose <b>CREATED</b> event is being waited for in the workflow.
    Then in the <b>WAIT FOR EVENT</b> step in WF I m giving putting in the details  of the event..
    Then putting a send mail after this.
    Problem: Now my workflow is throwing error and the send mail task is not executed even after the said event is done in the system..
    Plz... suggest as to how to do it..
    Thanks,
    Sudipto

    <i>Now for this I m actually creating a container element of type BOR B in my workflow n putting a step WAIT FOR EVENT in which I m putting the CREATED event. For triggering the CREATED event no instance is required...</i>
    - Once again, Wait For Event step is only possible when the Object Key is available to the Workflow container when the flow reaches the event (are you waiting for a specific ISUPARTNER to be created or you don't care as long as some ISUPARTNER is created).
    <i>my event CREATED is not getting triggered automatically...</i>
    - First check if the standard system triggers the event for your object. If not explore different options for doing that.
    For your scenario, check if you can trigger a custom event BORB_Created for BORA when BORB is created and use BORA in the Wait step.
    Please post future Workflow questions in the Business Process Management forum.

  • Wait for Event not being picked up by workflow

    Hi,
    We have a purchase order workflow that has a parallel branch with a wait for event of 'Released' on it. The theory is that if a PO is released the workflow will finish. We have a situation where POs are created then released straight away by an idoc. In the event log we can see the release step created event and it correctly starts the workflow however the released event follows at exactly the same time and the workflow does not seem to notice this so it sends a released PO to a user to be released. I hope this makes sense. Can anyone think of a reason why this might be happening? Does it need a slight delay between the two events?  In SWEINST the linkage is active and when I look at the entry for one of these POs it tales me to the correct workflow.
    Thanks
    Rob

    Hi,
    You could possibly create a check function module for the event. In the check function module you check some specific variable (if there is something you can use) - for example if the event was created by a certain user or if the PO is a certain type(?). Then if your condition is fulfilled, you raise an exception and no event will be triggered => no workflow.
    This is just one possible solution.

  • Error while completing Wait for event step

    Hi Gurus,
    I have a Workflow developed which has a "Wait for Event" step.
    In that step,I am facing a problem .It seems the step is not getting completed properly.
    When I check in SWEL it shows the Event is triggered.But the next which is a 'Send Mail' step is not getting executed.
    The Event shows action status as "Receiver started correctly".
    When i executed "Complete Manually " in SWIA,it executed correctly and also the further steps got executed.
    What could be the issue ?
    Many Thanks in advance !
    Regards,
    Ameya Kulkarni

    Hello Ameya !
                     To one of my replies to this thread you have stated that no container elements are configured to wait for event step.
                     Without business object,event and container element with object reference, wait for event will not fire.
                     When the user changes the status in KO02, event fires and is seen in SWEL.But, if it should reflect in workflow, afore- mentioned details needs to be configured in wait for event step.
                    Have you configured this wait for event step with event 2 ?

  • Query on Using fork with wait for event

    Hi All,
    I have a scenario in which a fork has two branches and one branch has the multiple steps along the line and also calls a subworkflow in one of the steps.
    The second branch has a single wait for event to complete the workflow in case of a cancel event.
    My understanding is that when the branch one executes and is on a single step decision or have gone inside a subworkflow and wating for user decision on the workitem created
    Whenever the wait event is triggered on the main workflow the second branch gets executed completing the workflow and all the branch one steps and the subworkflow gets logically deleted removing all the workitem from the inbox.
    Do I have to do any specific process control in main workflow to make sure that the subworkflow is deleted .
    Please clarify on this.
    Thanks,
    Charan.

    It should be taken care by itself. No additional steps required.

  • How to use wait for event step

    Hi,
    I need to trigger wait for event step for my workflow but I am not able to trigger that .
    Can anyany one of you tell me in detail what are the necessary config.and bindings i need to do for that .
    Also i need to pass data from my report program(where i am triggering the event for the wait activity) to the workflow through event triggering for the wait step.
    Please tell me how can I do that .
    Thanks in advance.
    Anand

    Hi,
    I think you can use the function module "SAP_WAPI_CREATE_EVENT" to trigger an event. Make sure that the instance data is same in both ends. To send data from your report, you can populate the event container using the container related macros.
    Check this link for more information

  • Wait for event - contradiction between SAP help and SDN?

    Hello,
    I try to employ an advice from SDN for "How can I 'advance in dialog' with asynchronous tasks?", which says "use a synchronous task instead e.g. by using a wait for event in a separate branch". But when I define step Wait for event, I can read on the control tab "You should not use this step type in a fork to wait for an event that is triggered in another branch of the same fork."
    In my understanding these two advices are in contradiction - am I right? Why we "should not use this step type in a fork to wait for an event that is triggered in another branch of the same fork"?
    Thanks for explanation.
    Miroslav

    Hi..
    Wait for Event you can use in the Fork, but each branch should triggered separately.
    E.g. If I Claim a Travel Expense a workflow will trigger from the Event  "RequestCreated", then after few hours i want to change the Travel expense and re-submit again, now "Changed" event and "RequestCreated" event will Occur. At this time the Old Workflow has to stop and new workflow has to trigger.
    So, here a fork has to be place, in one branch the normal approval steps and in another branch wait for "Changed" event has to be place.
    So now the previous workflow will closed and new workflow will trigger using the new values.

    Re.,
    Guri

    Hi,
    Based on your description what I felt is you are making use  of a wait step in which you have choose to wait till BUS2078 event CREATED is occured ... right.. Now can you please clear me that where and how this event will triggered.
    or is it some thign like you are making use of event creator step and in this case, When ever you are making use of the eventcreator  step and a BOR object inside it make sure that specific BOR object is already instatitaed in the workflow container , if it is instantiated then only it will try to identify the instance  or the BOR and it will try to rasie the event.

  • Bpm:message being sent and wait for event

    Hi,gurus:
    My scenario is about BPM.In the integration process I used a loop and correlation.The scenario worked successfully yesterday,but after I changed some thing,it did not work.The outbound status of the message in sxi_monitor said "message being sent".And when I clicked PE to see the workflow log, it said " wait for event".
    Thanks in advance.

    Could you tell me how to reimport the integration progress in ID?
    reimport means...delete the already imported BPM from ID.....this would affect the corresponding ID objects....save and activate....and then again run the import Integration Process wizard....create the objects once again.....seems time consuming.....hence mentioned it as the last option in the list:(
    Also from SWWL delete only the instance with status as ERROR.

  • NiDCPower Wait For Event

    Hello,
    I am using the PXIe-4139 SMU to source a current sequence that starts when a trigger is received and takes about 40 seconds to complete.
    After the niDCPower Initiate VI I have inserted the niDCPower Wait For Event VI with a timeout set to 300 seconds to allow for enough time to receive the trigger and complete the sequence. This VI waits for the Sequence Engine Done Event.
    Now this works fine, however, when the user wishes to stop the programm for whatever reasons, they have to wait the full 300 seconds until the Wait For Event VI produces a timeout error and stops the programm. This is rather inconvenient. How can I change the programm so that the user can stop it even when the Wait For Event VI hasn't reached its timeout?
    I tried this:
    But this doesn't work. For some reason, I get a timeout error with code -200474 but the boolean operator returns FALSE.
    Any other ideas?

    If there an output on the wait for event VI that flags a timeout? If so, set the timeout short (like 100 msec) and wait for 3000 timeouts before continuing on.
    Oh, and use an event structure. Timeout event (timeout=0) checks the wait for event, value change event for button breaks out of loop.

  • Workflow WAIT FOR EVENT STEP deadline not working

    Hi,
    Need some inputs for the experienced people;
    I have a wait for event step in a workflow with deadline monitoring (Latest End) but it doesn't seem to work.
    Ofcourse, all the required setting are in place and deadline works fine for other Activity steps.
    The problem is specific to Wait for event step.
    The alternative is having a fork but I just want to know why the wait step with deadline doesn't work.
    Thanks,

    Hello Ajay,
    Can you share with us what did you do to solve your problem?
    I'm facing the same thing in my project now, I'm wandering if you could help me with this one.
    I have this wait for an event step wich is configured to wait 4 minutes since the work item creation. I've also selected 'Modeled' on the Action field, and a display text for the outcome.
    But in one of my tests, the event hasn't occurred and the workflow stuck in this task forever.
    Thanks in advance.

    Actually, I think I got this handled. This thread was really helpful to me: http://scn.sap.com/thread/47482

  • Need help on Wait for Event.

    Hello all.
    I faced an issue with wait for event step,Which goes like this.
    For a workflow one of the fork branches there is a wait for event step(wait for manual release) . On development server when ever that event is fired (manual release) , the wait for event is capturing and completing the workflow ( This is the correct process).(PO release procedure)
    On production system, this event is not been caught(after manual release is done) and and the workflow is not  complete and still in progress. (even po is released manually) Which should not happen.
    So what all the things i need to verify in the production to fix this. I cannot simulate any kind of event on production ryt. so please suggest.
    please suggest.
    Cheers
    PRASAD.

    Hi Prasad
    i doubt that in Production the event trace would be on. Check SWELS to see if you see the "OFF" button (this means the trace is on). If it is On, check SWEL to see if any event is there for rejection. You will have to ask example of the PO and search using the Key (PO number).
    Also, check the workflow instance which is supposed to complete when the rejection happens (which did not complete). Check the technical WF log. Look for the Business Object container element which should hold the runtime instance. Check if it has a value and the same is bound from the event to the workflow in the wait for event step's binding. (_EVT_OBJECT to Workflow Container element of same type). This WF container element should have an instance and should not be empty for the wait step to work.

  • Wait for Event FIPP - Completed Logically Deleted

    Hi WF Experts,
    We have a WF for Release of payments.
    It has 1 Fork with 2 parallel branches (both necessary).
    1 Branch has the approval process for Amount release and the other branch calling the Account assignment approval Subworkflow.
    The approval process branch has the until loop with increment counter and it picks the agents within the loop until a loop condition is reached and thereby till no more approvals required.
    The other branch, before calling the subworkflow, it checks a WAIT FOR EVENT FIPP->COMPLETED with container element FIPPID.
    Both these branches needs to be completed so that the forks gets ended and the wf comes out of the fork.
    The approval process branch is working perfectly. But in the other branch the WAIT FOR EVENT FIPP->COMPLETED  gets logically deleted and thereby, this branch does not go firther to start the Account assignment approval Subworkflow. This way the Fork with the 2 necessary branches does not end, and thereby, the WF stops here and could not go further to set release indicators (Which is a backgorund task).This will confirm the end of WF process.
    When I pass the WI ID for this Wait event in the SWIA, it shows the status as CANCELLED.
    The WF User log as a whole shows the status as COMPLETED as all the approvers has approved the release.
    Why is the Wait for Event gets logically deleted ?Please advice.
