Process chain subsequent step handling..

[Former Member]

Hi all,

I have a situation in process chain wherein i would like one of the subsquent steps after the data load step to execute all the time aka ALWAYS and the other one (also next immediate step) to execute only upon successful load.Can this be achieved?

Appreciate any comments.

Thanks !!

Yes it is possible. Just set the right condition on it (Always, Successful and Failure).

as long as one is after the other

thanks.

Wond,

Could u elaborate on the comment u made earlier? 'Set the right condition on it' ??

So lets say this pc includes 3 steps (excl the Start step).

Step 1: Load data into cube.

After this step, the pc branches out to 2 steps (both immediate next steps to step1):

Step 2: Executed only if Step 1 was successful.

and Step 3: Executed always.

Hope this helps.

|Always ->STEP2(Execution)----

---

Start>STEP1|->AND--

---

AND----Another Execution if

-

---

|Successful->STEP3(Execution)----

The second AND is if you need it otherwise, that will just do it.

thanks.

Have u tried this in your system? For my money..this would not work. The Always/Successful/Error action would be selected between STEP1 and AND. AND to the subsequent steps is just like connecting anything from START step i.e. no actions !!

Yes you are right, system doens't let you change. If one is alreays, then the otherone by default will be always. I tried to do if that is possible with new features in BI 7.0 (Descsion) but that is not possible either. I would recommend you to use separate chain or Event Trigger in ABAP Program to trigger the other chain once the first step completes.

thanks.

No worries, Wond. Thanks for ur inputs and effort though.

Separate chain is not on my mind (for now at least).

Anyone else .. am sure people would have come across this situation before

Cheers.
