Event Listing

Former Member — Fri, 06 Jan 2006 21:05:26 GMT

Hi,

I want to know if any EVENT is raised in the system. Is there any user-exit or function module available for it.

Thanks,

Sudheer

Which EVENT are you asking? System and user events(SM62 and SM64) or are you talking about workflow events? In any case, I don't think you can trap the event before it does what it is supposed to do.

What is the requirement?

Hi Srinivas,

Thanks for the quick reply. I want to capture any workflow events raised and do some custom processing.

Thanks,

Sudheer

Do you want to interrupt the event and do some of your processing or do you just want to know that an event has been raised so that you can do some report on it? Are you looking for something like SWEQBROWSER(Event Queue Browser)?

You will have better chance of getting workflow questions answered in the .

Hi Srinivas,

As soon as a workflow event is raised, I want to read

some of the data in my custom Z tables and do custom

processing for that event.

Thanks,

Sudheer

Is that a specific event or any workflow event in your system?

Hi Srinivas,

Any workflow event, I want to do the simillar processing.

Thanks,

Look at this . See if that is what you are looking for. But I don't think there is any one place where you put the code and it will be executed for every event that is raised.

Hi Srinivas,

I went through the thread. If I use transaction SWETYPV

and specify the "check function module", when will this

be executed?. Is it before the workflow is started or

afterwards. Also is it true that every workflow event

will be listed under this transaction.

Thanks,

Sudheer

As per my knowledge goes, every workflow event should be listed here. But I cannot confirm as I am not an expert in this. Regarding the check function, here is the documentation. See if it clarifies your doubt.

<i>

Definition: check function module

SAP Business Workflow (BC-BMT-WFM)

Function module called synchronously in the LUW of the event receiver by the event manager <u>directly before</u> the actual receiver function module is called if:

An event receiver was established, and

The name of a check function module is specified.

The check function module has the same interface as the receiver function module. This means that the content of the event container can be checked and the calling of the receiver function module prevented. If the check function module terminates with an exception, the receiver function module is not called and the linkage between the event and the receiver not created.

There is a template check function module called SWE_CD_TEMPLATE_CHECK_FB in the function group SWE_TEMPLATE.</i>

Hi Sudheer,

SWETYPV only contains events for which there is a linkage defined. An event linkage is simply a definition of an event which has a receiver - specified as a receiver function module. Do not use a check function - this is for telling the event manager when NOT to call the receiver.

The receiver can be a workflow or anything else, as long as the function module has the standard interface. Look at some of the other FM's for what it should look like.

Also, you can have as many receivers as you like for one event - so you can start two different workflows and send a mail or even have your own function. However I would not normally recommend putting your own processing in there, rather do your processing as a step in the workflow. This way you have all the error handling and restart capabilities of workflow.

Cheers
