Triggering an Application Event After Successful I (SAP Library

Triggering an Application Event After Successful IDoc Processing

Any number of events can be triggered within the inbound function module by calling the Workflow "create event" function module; doing this gives you full control of the event’s parameters.

If you simply want to have an event triggered for your application object with a single parameter RESULT in its container, you can let ALE do this for you. An example where this is used is the message type EDLNOT, process code EDLN.

To let ALE trigger the event you need to

Fill the field "application event" for your process code’s inbound methods
Enter a value in the inbound function module’s table Return_Variables, where Wf_Param is filled as outlined in the following table, and Doc_Number is the same as your application object ID
Set the parameter WORKFLOW_RESULT to a value not equal to zero. Customers can use alphanumeric values beginning with Y or Z. In the example below the value 3 is used.

Triggering your application object event using ALE and Specifying a Value in the RESULT Parameter.

Wf_Param	Doc_Number	Parameter RESULT in event container
Continue_Objects1	1234	1
Continue_Objects2	1234	2
Continue_Objects3	1234	3
Continue_Objects4	1234	4
Continue_Objects5	1234	5

How to let ALE trigger one of your application object’s events, and how to affect the value of the parameter RESULT in its container. How to fill the export parameters when processing packets of IDocs, when all the IDocs were successfully processed and an application object event should be triggered for each successfully processed IDoc. IDoc numbers 4711 and 4712 created application objects 1234 and 1235. In both cases the RESULT parameter in the event container is set to 1.
