Event in Process Chain

[Former Member]

Hi, All

I have learned that sometimes we need create event to trigger a background job in process chain.

I think this maybe related to R/3 or other system program. But sometime there is no program in R3 when extrating data, why does event used in Process Chain?

Anyone is skilled at this, could you pls help me?

Thanks very much.

Hi Carina,

Events are used to trigger the process chains.

you can write an abap program in which you can trigger the event which inturn will trigger the process chain.

So you can trigger the process chain based on a condition (you can call the event if the condition is satisfied).

hope it helps.

Hi,

If there is some dependency is there then these events are used in either in ECC or in BI. These events are not only used for Process Chains, these are useful whener you want to trigger some job in ECC or BI.

events are used to trigger process chains. It is possible to automate the complex schedules in BW with the help of the event-controlled processing.

Hi,

As mentioned above, an event is used to trigger the process chain.

Just to give you an example,

Suppose that you dont want your daily process chain to get triggered on saturday.

In that case, you can write a program to check which day of the week it is, and return an event id through the program.

This program can be used in a new process chain, which will execute everyday.

This event id can then be used in the start variant of your process chain, using the option After Event.

Hence, your daily process chain will get triggered only if the Event id returns the day as Sunday to Friday.

It will not get triggered on Saturdays.

Hope this helps....

Event is used just to trigger the process chain...

If the process chain contains an infopackage, it will trigger which in turn will trigger a job in R/3 to extract data...

Hope I got your question right.
