Workflow - Start Condition Failure

Former Member — Thu, 26 Mar 2009 09:59:09 GMT

Hi All,

I am trying to put a start condition on a workflow of mine. I just want to check if an order type = PM01 or PM03 and not 0010.

I have my start condition set-up but every time I run it I get this error in my event log:

Operator 'EQ': The value of the left operand cannot be determined


  (  " PM01 or PM03 
     &Maintenance order.Order type& = PM01 
     or    &Maintenance order.Order type& = PM03 
  ) " PM01 or PM03 
  and    &Maintenance order.Plant& u2260 0010

The funny thing is if I go to SWUE and kick off the even it passes the start condition fine. So therefore I think there is an issue with my container being passed to the start condition.

Is there anyway I can fix this?

Many Thanks For Any Help Provided,

Colm

Hi,

Place the order type values in single quotes as shown below. As these are values and not a variable containing some value. That is the reason it is not able to identify the value.

(  " PM01 or PM03 
     &Maintenance order.Order type& = 'PM01' 
     or    &Maintenance order.Order type& = 'PM03' 
  ) " PM01 or PM03 
  and    &Maintenance order.Plant& u2260 '0010'

I hope this solve your problem.

Regards,

Hi,

Did you try like this?

(  " PM01 or PM03 
     &Maintenance order.Order type& EQ 'PM01'
     or    &Maintenance order.Order type& EQ 'PM03' 
  ) " PM01 or PM03 
  and    &Maintenance order.Plant& NE '0010 '

Thank you both for your suggestions, however I am entering these start conditions using the transaction SWB_COND.

In SWB_COND you can not use single quotes ('PM01') or change the equals sign (= -> EQ).

In SWB_COND if you enter a literal it automatically places the single quotes around your values.

Thanks for the help anyway, any more ideas would be much appreciated.
