Process Chain - start up.

Hi,

I am an old-fashioned BW practitioner who worked in version 2.x and then 3.x. New to the new functionality available in the latest version.

Now, I think I need to pick up the knowledge on "Process Chain". I have gone through some concepts at the SAP Help Page ( http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/80/1a64e0e07211d2acb80000e829fbfe/frameset.htm ) but still got a bit confused on actually where to start in the system. Can someone please give me some help on this? Thanks.

[Would also greatly appreciate if any one can also provide some insights to my other question posted on the forum:

<b>Delte InfoCube data when loading from ODS</b>

]

Thanks a lot!

Hello J K,

Process chains are created using transaction RSPC. You can drag components from the left pane to the right pane. The question on what components to include depends on what process are you going to support. All process chain will need a start process. The start process can be triggered in a lot of ways. It can be scheduled, triggered by an event, called through a meta chain, triggered by function modules RSPC_API_CHAIN_START etc. You can then drag other components and then connect it to the start process (or other process types). There are lots of process types to choose from. You can also create your own process types by implementing an ABAP class and then registering your custom process type.

When you connect two "steps" of the chain, you often can choose if you want the next "step" to be run if the preceding step has run successfully or has failed. This allows you to react to failures accordingly (e.g. send messages, or do some clean up).

After you have build your process chain, you need to activate and schedule it.

To monitor process chains, go to transaction RSPC, and then proceed to the Log view.

Hi,

You can design the process chain using Tcode RSPC.Every process chain must have an start variant.and other process.

Left side panel you find the various process type like loading activating...

Plan view - Design the process chain

Check view - Check the syntax of design

Log view - Monitering the loads

Tip:If you want to load ODS to cube, you have to create infopackage manually and use it. system gernerated infopackges aren't allowed in process chain.
