SWWERRE--SWWDHEX--SWWCOD--etc

[Former Member]

below jobs are scheduled like this:

1. SWWERRE -20min frqRSWWERRElow priority

2. SWWDHEX -3min freqRSWWDHEXHigh priority

3. SWWCOND -30min freq--RSWWCOND-Low priority

Actually we are using only one workflow, for releasing the created material(it seems it's a simple one).

when you create a material a mail is sent to the approver (used VIEWCREATE event..for some other purposes), if he approves the mat gets status active in sales and purchage views..thats scenario of the WF.

As i can see there are no conditions are maintained in TASK--CONDITIONS tab for any task.

At present i am sure that we are using only this workflow!

but they are creating materials very frequently:)

So pls let me know weather it is neccessary to run above jobs in such frq every day!?

the jobs are creating some problems in idoc procesing in other territory..they are blocking some SOs during idoc process..

I want to stop these jobs for now for temporary solution for the issue..

which other problems will be raised if I do so..

CAn you pls provide me with some documentation for those jobs

other than these 3 jobs let me know if any background jobs are there to assist WF..I have found only these three..i will chk them too

Last but not least:)

scheduling these jobs..is it BASIS consult job or..others?

Hello <guest01>,

It would be nice to use your <a href="/people/eddy.declercq/blog/2006/04/21/from-the-grumpy-old-man-autor-anonim-model-necunoscut name</a> just like the rest of us.

These jobs/schedules themselves are fine and are not the problem, they are designed to be efficient for low system impact.

The issue is in the workflows/objects they process which is unfortunately something particular to your environment. You may only be using one WF now, but how many old ones are still in process from several years ago? Do all your WFs complete? Have you coded your attributes efficiently? e.g. If you have an attribute that calls something which locks a sales order and you use that attribute in a condition then the Cond job will come along and query that attribute and... guess what, it will lock the sales order. This would be bad design.

Bottom line: the problem is in some custom development. This can be almost impossible to find without looking at the system but I hope that points you in the right direction where to look. Please do post back if you have found the issue or if you have more info as it may help others.

Cheers,

Thanks Mike,

am posting the issue here..pls tell me some areas where i shud check

actually only in india we are using workflows. in china, they are not using any work flows. i think if they get some errors which has WF-BATCH , they will wonder..right??

here is their messages..

when in china they are posting some idocs ,related to SOs (i guess!)..they come across errors like below..

-

---

failure idocs are giving the status:

'application document not posted

sales document XXXXXXXXXX is currently beeing processed (by user WF-BATCH)'..

-

---

and

---

Below screen and the attached file shows a lot of WF-BATCH (workflow jobs) running which locked the Sales Documents and the idoc of Shunde cannot be processed. Seems it is only India using workflow, do you have idea what these job are doing to the Sales Documents? Seems this job is running every 3-4 minutes... Do we need to run it so frequent? Please suggest.

-

---

which they have given the the jobs are SWWERRESWWDHEXSWWCOD..

I know it's tough to give solution with out knowing the system..

pls suggest some area on which i need to concentrate to find the cause...

As I've said, the jobs are fine as is. It's the stuff they're processing that hasn't been designed very well

That's if it is actually these jobs that are causing it. Are you sure about this? The fact that you are listing three job seems to indicate that this has not been established yet. Talk to your basis team if you need assistance in finding this out.

Other than that I've already made several suggestions on where to look. I'm not sure if you're actually followed them as you haven't answered any of the questions.

Cheers,

Mike
