1st Workflow task, problem binding triggering event

[Former Member]

Hello all,

I am working on my first single step task ever. What I initially thought would be a simple thing to do, has me pulling out my hair and saying they bad words out loud. Now that I'm done venting in this message, I will describe what I'm trying to do and the problem I'm running into. Hopefully some generous person who is familiar with this error can show me what I'm doing wrong and what needs to be changed.

I created a subtype, <b>ZALE_EMAIL</b>,

of the object IDOCGLMAST.

Object <b>ZALE_EMAIL</b> has a method <b>ERROREMAIL</b>

that I want executed when event INPUTERROROCCURRED

of object IDOCGLMAST is executed.

Method ERROREMAIL has a parameter <b>Z_IDocNumber</b>.

I created a new standard task. These are the parameters.

Object category: <b>BOR Object Type</b>

Object type: <b>IDOCGLMAST</b>

Event: <b>INPUTERROROCCURRED</b>

These are the elements of the binding that were created

when I clicked on the icon to generate the binding automatically:

<b>EVENT >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> TASK</b>

&EXCEPTION&_____________&EXCEPTION&

&_EVT_OBJECT&___________&_WI_OBJECT_ID&

When I tried to bind the triggering event I get a warning error, but the bind completes successfully and the light turns green.

<b>Conversion from '[BO.IDOCGLMAST]' to '[BO.ZALE_EMAIL]' can cause data-related errors

Message no. SWF_BND_001092</b>

My question is, is this a warning that can be ignored?

If it can't be ignored, how do I get rid of it?

My workflow task starts, but it never completes. I think this is because the binding of the triggering event to the task is not working. I'm not sure how to verify my assumption. I have been looking at the different options within transaction <b>SWUD</b>.

I created this task so that I could send an e-mail when an IDOC, <b>GLMAST01</b>, is trying to update a nonexistent <b>chart of accounts/General ledger account</b>.

I am setting up ALE and document change management so that we can keep our production GL accounts in sync with development and QA.

We are on version 4.7.

Thanks

Check the data types of the two items you are binding.

Make sure they both reference the same data objects.

Roger,

Thanks for your suggestion. The datatypes appear to be identical, although they are complex data types with many individual parts. The error is just a warning. But I think this warning is actually preventing the binding from completing successfully, even though the green light is on.
