Maintenance of Tab Page Control
Use
With the specifications you make on this tab page, you define the event you want the workflow to wait for.
Activities
You must describe the expected event uniquely. Specify the following:
Container element
In this step, the workflow waits for an event created by a specific object. As this is not yet known at definition time, you specify a container element of the workflow container, which will contain an object reference at runtime. The workflow system uses this information to automatically define the
Instance Linkage at runtime, and then activates it.If you want to wait for an XML message that is specific to this workflow, you have to use the corresponding
workflow proxy as the container element.BOR object type or class
Here the workflow system automatically enters the type of the object referred to in the container element.
Event
Choose the event to be waited for in this step. The event must be defined for the object type in the Business Object Repository, or for the ABAP class.
Number of events
You enter how many times the same event must occur for execution of the workflow to be continued. This field is predefined with
0001 if a condition for the condition of execution is entered on the Conditions tab page.Binding
Process the
binding definition from the event container to the workflow container if you want to use information supplied with the event in the workflow. Choose
Binding. If the event for which the workflow waits occurs more than once, the binding is also executed more than once.
In general, this binding definition is not required.
Name
Enter the ID of the outcome of the wait step, with which processing is to be continued after the event occurs.
Not in workflow log
Set this indicator if entries for this step are neither to be displayed in the
standard workflow log nor in the graphical workflow log.
