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.

Wait for Event not Complete

I have a Wait for Event step in a simple workflow. My problem is that the step won't complete even if the event is already triggered.
In SWEL, the event is there, and Object Key and everything else seem right to me. And the Work Item Instance is there too. Check picture 1 for screenshot of Event Trace.
In SWI1, everthing is fine except that the Wait for Event has only one action "Wait step Created". The WorkItem ID is the same as Receive Object Key in Event Trace. The object in the Wait step has an instance and LPOR is correct.
The configurations in Instance Linkage is also attached. I suppose it should be automatically added when Wait for Event is set up in the workflow. But there was no entry so I had to do it manually. I also tried Receive Call method CL_SWF_RUN_HANDLER_EVT_RECEIVE. The result was the same.
A screenshot of SWU0 is also attached. To me it says "something is wrong" which I already know well.

Hello,
"I have a Wait for Event step in a simple workflow. My problem is that the step won't complete even if the event is already triggered."
What should the workflow do when that event is detected?
"In SWEL, the event is there, and Object Key and everything else seem right to me. And the Work Item Instance is there too. Check picture 1 for screenshot of Event Trace."
I agree, it looks okay.
"The configurations in Instance Linkage is also attached. I suppose it should be automatically added when Wait for Event is set up in the workflow. But there was no entry so I had to do it manually."
There is no need to do that, in fact it may be causing the problem. Try removing it.
"A screenshot of SWU0 is also attached. To me it says "something is wrong" which I already know well."
Why do you say that? I would use SWUE to create the event.

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.

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.

All day calendar events not being displayed in the notification centre for iphone 5 post ios 7 upgrade. Please help. Is it a bug?

All day calendar events not being displayed in the notification centre for iphone 5 post ios 7 upgrade. Please help. Is it a bug?
With iOS 6, the all day events showed up in the notification centre but it lacks in the upgrade iOS 7.

Same problem here. Some people pointed out that all-day events do show up in their notification center, but that seems only to be the case for birthdays (and only as text like the weather). I've tried it myself on my iPhone and iPad and it did work for birthdays but not for any other all-day events. I already sent this to Apple as a product feedback as well, as should everyone of you. The more people mention it, the faster Apple's going to fix this issue. In its current state, notification center is not a very helpful feature in my opinion. There's absolutely no point in not showing all-day events in the 'today' calendar overview.
Here's a link to the product feedback page: http://www.apple.com/feedback/
I posted my message in the iPhone section since I couldn't find a page specifically dedicated to iOS 7.
I really love the look & feel of iOS 7 but it's kinda sad to see notification center not tapping its full potential.
Cheers!

Process chain Error: This AND process is not waiting for event RSPROCESS

Hi All,
I am facing an error in the process chain in PRD.
Error message: This AND process is not waiting for event RSPROCESS.
We had a process chain which had two sub chains which run parallel and below of this we had AND process type and below of the AND process we had 4 more jobs.
Once the two subchains got successfully loaded, the and process should turn to green and further 4 jobs should start.
It is a daily load , it worked fine from past years,but suddenly the AND processtype is getting failed.The thing is in the two subchains if one got completed, the AND process process is not waiting for 2nd subchain to get completed.The AND process is turning to RED (status: cancelled) . I tried to repeat the AND process once after above 2 subchains loaded, but it didnt worked.
And i removed the existing AND process and created a new one and placed it in same place and activated and schedules again.but still it is getting failed with same error.
Thanks in advance,
Sai Chand.S

Hi,
If you did any transports related to that metachain we face similar kind of issues.
not only the AND process , we need to remove all the process before executing the AND process and create it again.
It helps you, you said your in production So you should take the proper approvals and do it.

Hi Anuj ,
Thanks for the reply .
Yes we are setting the Filename Format explicitly in the LC . As far as we have understood , naming convention FromTP_MSGID.xml
is used to identify the TP and also MSGID is used to avoid duplicates and identification xpath is set to identify the Action .
When we are using %FROM_PARTY%_%TO_PARTY%_%DOCTYPE_NAME%_%DOCTYPE_REVISION%_%TIMESTAMP%.xml , All parameters are identified as expected and Agreements are also being picked when we are using File Protocol . Only when we are trying with SFTP Prtocol , even though all values are being picked correctly , only agreement is not being picked . Could you please help ?

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,
Roopesh

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

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.

Wait for event - workflow 4.7

Hi, not sure if this is the correct forum for workflow or not but here is the problem. I have a custom BOR with 2 key fields, both character. The BOR has some some events one of these events is 'submitforapproval' and another is 'reviewed'. The 'submitforapproval' event is raised by an external R/3 program and is used to trigger the workflow in question. This works well. The 'reviewed' event is also raised by an external program and is used in a 'wait for event' step inside the same workflow. Once this event is raised the workflow continues. This happens sometimes without error and other times it can't find a receiver. I have looked at the event linkage through SWEINST when there is an error and while the receiver key is correct the object key holds incorrect information causing the 'receiver not entered' error. Why is this happening? When the workflow is triggered the event manager should set up the linkage for waiting event from the BOR key in question, why is this not happening? What can I do?
Any help will be appreciated,
Kevin

Thanks for the reply Gareth.
My WF C has a normal step in it that calls the A workflow.
I've tried numerous combinations, but as it is now, I have the WFINITIATOR, WFPRIORITY, ATTACHOBJECTS, and an object reference parameter being passed into workflow A.
Basically, that task just references the WS workflow object to kick it off.
WF A doesn't have any triggering events. It was previously manually initiated through the SWW_WI_START function in a custom transaction.
After the process has trickled through C->A->B and is at the wait step, I'm using another external custom transaction that initiates an event (for the wait step in WF B) using the SWE_EVENT_CREATE function. I'll be doing some more testing here today... but I have a feeling there's something wrong with the object key I'm passing through.
I'm not new to WF... but I've only really ever maintained existing workflows. We'll say I'm still learning the complexities. There is a pretty good chance that I'm just missing something really obvious or stupid.
Thanks for your help so far...

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 BOR(ISUPARTNER) whose CREATED event is being waited for in the workflow.
Then in the WAIT FOR EVENT 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

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...
- 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).
my event CREATED is not getting triggered automatically...
- 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.
Cheers,
Ramki Maley.

Workflow - Wait for event

I have a requirement like this:
In the workflow, judge an object is released or not. If not release. the workflow will stop.
Now we need to write a program to check the status of the object every 15 mins, if the object is released, then an event will be raised to allow the pending workflow to continue.
How do I achieve this?

No Problem Yu,
See below. Rough steps but I think you can fill in the meat on bones.
Creating event.
Step 1. Execute SWO1 it is O not zero.
Step 2. Create business object. If you do not have one already. I assume you do not have one. Make sure you define key fields which uniquely identifies your object.
Step 3. Create one event under events node. Make sure key fields are part of event parameters. Save and activate object.
Step 4. Now triggering the event. In your besopke program which will run as background job. Once you decide object is released. The call function module SWE_EVENT_CREATE to trigger workflow. example given below. Check where used list of this FM you will find many examples. Use any example where EVENT_CONTAINER parameter under tables is being used you'll need this to pass data to event parameters.
CALL FUNCTION 'SWE_EVENT_CREATE'
EXPORTING
    OBJTYPE                       = T_OBJTYPE
    OBJKEY                        = T_OBJKEY
    EVENT                         = T_EVENT
        CREATOR                       = ' '
        TAKE_WORKITEM_REQUESTER       = ' '
        START_WITH_DELAY              = ' '
        START_RECFB_SYNCHRON          = ' '
        NO_COMMIT_FOR_QUEUE           = ' '
        DEBUG_FLAG                    = ' '
        NO_LOGGING                    = ' '
        IDENT                         =
IMPORTING
   EVENT_ID                      = T_EVENT_ID
TABLES
   EVENT_CONTAINER               = T_EVENT_CONTAINER
EXCEPTIONS
   OBJTYPE_NOT_FOUND             = 1
   OTHERS                        = 2
Creating wait step.
    When you insert a new step in workflow it will ask you the kind of step you want to insert. Choose wait for event and after that it is not very tough all you have to give is give business object and event name. Do binding, this is important as this will make sure your workflow is reacting to correct instance of object.
Warm Regads,
Anuj Nagpal.

My new IPOD is not being picked up by my computer. What should I do?

@vic_suav, thanks for the additional information. Could you please try to see if this does the trick?
Quit iTunes on your PC, switch your iPhone on and make sure it's not locked, before connecting it to your computer. Then wait a minute or two until the "Download Photos" dialogue box pops up. When that happens, launch iTunes and wait a minute or two until iPhone shows up as a connected device.
If the above doesn't work, follow the steps in 'How to restart the Apple Mobile Device Service (AMDS) on Windows' to restart the Apple Mobile Device Service, here: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1567
Otherwise, please try a different USB port on your PC. Then in your Windows 7, click Start and choose Control Panel. Click "Uninstall a program". Then verify that Apple Mobile Device Support is visible in the list of currently installed programs. If Apple Mobile Device Support is not listed, remove iTunes, QuickTime, Apple Software Update, Apple Application Support, and then reinstall iTunes. For removing and reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows Windows 7, follow these steps: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923
if all of the above fail, you can try some of the troubleshooting steps outlined in 'iOS Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows' article: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538
Let me know how it goes. Good luck!

The apexafterrefresh event not being fired in Chart IR's

Hi all,
I am adding additional functionality to IR reports using the plug-in architecture in Apex 4.1.1. A Dynamic action has been added to the "After Refresh" event for the #apexir_WORKSHEET_REGION jQuery selector.
This works fine in all cases except when no data is found in the report. This has been fixed in 4.2 so I can live with this until the upgrade. However, it also does not work when a chart is created in the report, the apexafterrefresh event does not get raised. Therefore my dynamic action will not fire. Looking at the apex_interactive_reports_4_1.js this event gets raised for the table element with an ID stored in apexir_WORKSHEET_ID ie:
apex.jQuery('#' + $v("apexir_WORKSHEET_ID")).trigger('apexafterrefresh', that.report_id);However this table element does not get rendered when a Chart is displayed and therefore the apexafterrefresh will not get raised.
In apex 4.2 the widget.interactiveReport.js has been modified to handle the no data found but not charts:
var lTriggeringElement$, lWorksheetId;
                        lWorksheetId = $v( "apexir_WORKSHEET_ID" );
                        if ( $x( lWorksheetId ) ) {
                            // If the table element containing data exists (ie when the report returns rows),
                            // use that to trigger the event.
                            lTriggeringElement$ = apex.jQuery( '#' + lWorksheetId );
                        } else {
                            // Otherwise, use the span holding the no data found message.
                            lTriggeringElement$ = apex.jQuery( '#apexir_NO_DATA_FOUND_MSG' );
                        lTriggeringElement$.trigger( 'apexafterrefresh', that.report_id );I have created a test case on apex.oracle.com - http://apex.oracle.com/pls/apex/f?p=41357:1 In this example I simply display an alert from a Dynamic action with the following attributes:
Event - After Refresh
Selection Type - Region
Region - Interactive Report
As can be seen when the user navigates to the report the alert displays, however when you navigate to the Chart the alert does not display.
In my mind this is a bug and the IR reports JavaScript should be modified to raise the event apexir_WORKSHEET DIV Element instead. This would fix both issues.
Any ideas on how to overcome this issue?
Thanks
Chris.

For everyone's information Bug 16029272 - ALERT (APEXAFTERREFRESH EVENT) NOT BEING FIRED IN CHART OF INTERACTIVE REPORTS has been raised regarding this issue.
