Process chains doubt

[Former Member]

Hi all,

How can we schedule and monitor the process chains.How can we know that the process chains are executed correctly and where can we get the error messages for the failed processes?

Also when i drag the attribute change run process after an execute infopackage process,inside the change run process there are different object types namely for infoobject,hierarchy and again execute inforpackage.some of the system suggested attribute change run process has the object type as execute infopackage.when should I use infoobject and when should i use execute infopackage for attribute change run process.Also when save hierarchy process is used,execute infopackage comes as default object type.should i have to change that to hierarchy object type.

Any suggestions is appreciated.

thanks.

Hi Greatflower,

The <b><START PROCESS></b> is always needed to create a Process Chain. When you right click a <b><START PROCESS></b> -> <i>Maintain Variant</i>, it has an option to have a <b>Direct Schedule</b> Clicking the <i>Change Selection</i>

button will popup the job scheduling dialog screen w/c you can use to schedule the <i>Process Chain</i> runs.

For Error messages, under tcode <i>RSPC->Log View</i>, you can see the error logs whether success or failure of each individual processes inside the process chain...

Hope I have helped, if I did, please grant points...

Hi,

As mentioned by Jkyle you can easily Schedule and Monitor the Process Chain.

Also, for the failed process or for the successful process, you can define Messages. This Messages will automatically come in your Inbox with the Status.

Most of the people use this method for monitoring the Process Chain. You can do this by using the Context Menu of Process Type and say Create Message.

You can remove the InfoPackage by saying Remove Process.

Alternative is use Program RSDDS_AGGREGATES_MAINTAIN for Attibute Change Run define Variant for your InfoObject and Include the Process ABAP Process in your Process Chain.

Hope this helps.Please reward the points if the solution helps you and also let us know if you have any further clarifications.
