Hi,

How are you updating the database? If it is through a program you can call the function module SWE_EVENT_CREATE to raise an event. This event can be linked to a workflow.

CALL FUNCTION 'SWE_EVENT_CREATE'

EXPORTING

objtype = <- Your object

objkey = <- Key of the table

event = <- Event name

EXCEPTIONS

OBJTYPE_NOT_FOUND = 1

OTHERS = 2

Thanks

Hi,

What Vinod and Peter suggested is definitely a good solution.

Also you can try the use of change documents to trigger your workflow task. For that you need to activate change documents and then link it to your task.

Imp Transactions : SCDO and SWEC.

Let me know if this approach helps you.

Thanks, Debasish
