Executing workflow after import

[Former Member]

Hello all,

I’m trying to automatically launch a workflow which contains only one assignment. It is active and configured with the ‘Record Import’ Trigger Action on Data Manager. On Import Manager, I have selected it on the ‘Checkout/Workflow’ option. It imports the data correctly (I’m only updating one field on main table), and a job appears as ‘Completed’ on the Tasks Pane on DM. But it doesn’t appear that the assignment was run. There’s no sign on the log too.

Any idea what could be going on?

Thanks and let me know if you don’t understand.

Hi Marcos,

Try running the workflow manually and see if assigment happens.

Try running the assignment standalone and see if assigment happens.

I tried and am also facing the same problem

for me its throwing error in the worklfow but assignment runs well satndalone.

It might be a bug.

Am running on SP 05 your version.

Hello Vijay,

Both workflow and assignment run correctly standalone indeed. The Error status also happenned to me but, instead of Import, it was when I tried to launch it via the 'Record Update' option, after I updated the record on Data Manager itself.

I am running SP05 too. Haven't tried with a previous version.

I should also add that there are a couple of notes in purple font in the SP04 Data Manager manual, regarding both:

- an Autolaunch property for the Workflows table (page 220

- the Error status (page 235)

But thanks for the response anyway, since it might be a harder evidence that it can be a bug. I will get back to SAP for them to have a closer look.
