Workflow not getting triggered from webdynpro event

Question

Hello gurus,
I have a requirement in which if an employee changes his own information on the ESS portal, then an approval should be done by HR. For this i created a custom webdynpro application in which i fetch the employee data and check it with old data in one view and when user clicks save button the approval workflow should be triggered.
For this i created a custom BO using transaction SWO1. I added a 'CHANGE' event and 'send_data_to_wf' method.
In SWDD i created the workflow which is working fine when i test it in SWDD only. But when i trigger it using FM 'SWE_CREATE_EVENT', only the event is getting triggered and not the workflow. I checked the trace in transaction SWEL in which i can see the 'CHANGE' event under Event column but Name of Reciever Type column is emty. It should display my custom workflow ID. Please let me know where i m lacking or going wrong.
Regards,
Yayati Ekbote

Hello Ricardo,
Thanks for immediate reply. Yes, the linkage is active in SWE2. My custom object type is ZHRAD and event is change. I also tried the FM 'SAP_WAPI_CREATE_EVENT'. But in this FM the event also doesn't get triggered. Using FM 'SWE_CREATE_EVENT' atleast triggers the event. I debugged the FM. The container inside the FM is remaining initial. I am posting my code which i am using.
DATA: pernr TYPE pa0001-pernr VALUE '40000001'.

        wa_wfcont TYPE swcont,

  wa_wfcont-element = 'PERNR'.
  wa_wfcont-value = '40000001'.
  APPEND wa_wfcont TO it_wfcont.
  wa_wfcont-element = 'SUBTY'.
