Trigger Process Chain through the Web

Hi,
I am trying to allow the users to control when they trigger a process chain through the web.
The users have a number of integrated planning sheets, which they access and input, once they are happy with the inputs, then they want to trigger the process chain to carry out additional loads.
I am using function module RSPC_CHAIN_ACTIVATE_REMOTE to trigger the process chain, when I test this with the chain set to direct scheduling it works fine.
I have set a planning function to call RSPC_CHAIN_ACTIVATE_REMOTE, with the process chain in question. Now when I run it with the chain set to direct scheduling it repeatedly calls the process chain over and over again, like it is in an endless loop.
When I try setting the chain to Meta Chain or API nothing happens.
Does anyone have any ideas why I can't get this to work through the web?
Thanks
D

I am loading flat files through process chains. My requirment is such that i need to create a ABAP selection screen so that user can load the flat file from his PC. when the user is loading the flat file i have to copy the file onto the application server folder and then display him the monitor errors/warnings (if any). when my data load is complete i need to archive the file with time stamp onto the application server folder.
Please help me in this regard....

How to trigger a process chain through

Hi All,
Can any one send me the steps to trigger a process chain through a job in sm37.
Thanx
Kishore

Just a trigger ?
Best way I can suggest is to call the function module 'RSPC_API_CHAIN_START'...
So, create an ABAP Program, call the function in the program. You can add parameters and a selection screen to make the program generic and add variants to it.
Once you are done with this, schedule a job with this program and whichever variant you're lookin for and you should be done.

PI Interface Posting Files - Trigger Process Chain Issue

Dear Reader,
Situation -
We get multiple flat files from source system via PI interface. To process this in BW 7.0 side we have created the web service interface. In the function module we have written a code to trigger process chain, once a data is posted.
Issue -
As there are multiple files being posted, the PC runs on completion of the every single post, which is not desired. We need to run the process chain only once at the end of all the files being posted.
Notes -
1. Number of files keep varying.
2. Clubbing all the files in a single file and then posting it would cause performance issues.
Request your help in find a way like -
1. A file being posted of name, say 'START PC', which can be trapped in the funciton module and controll the PC call.
2. <any Other idea>
regards,
vinay gupta

Function module used to restart the process chain in the middle?

Hi all,
can anyone pls let me know the function module to restart the process chain in the middle of the process chain?
I need to run the process chain from the middle which can be done through a function module can anyone pls let me know!!
Thanks
pooja

what exactly your requirement is?
You can't trigger the process in the middle either it should be trigger by start variant or it's predessor.
If your chain failed in the middle - you can fix the prob and can do 'Repeat' option or you can also use FM 'RSPC_PROCESS_FINISH . (this FM will work only if the chain fails)

How to Trigger process chains??

hi all
How to Trigger process chains??
Can anybody step by steps??
thanks
Senthil

The background control options are available to directly schedule the start process. You can start the start process immediately , that is when activating the process chain, for a specified time, or after a particular event. When you activate the process chain, the start process is scheduled in the background as defined in your selections.
You can also trigger the start of a process chain via a meta chain. A meta chain is when a process chain, to which you set this start condition, is fixed to another process chain. The process chain is started directly by this meta chain.
When you start the start process via a meta chain, it is not scheduled after you activated the related process chain. The process is only started when the meta chain, to which it is linked, is running.
The remaining chain processes, that is the application processes and the collection processes, are scheduled to wait for an event.
The start process has the following special features:
Only the start process can be scheduled without a predecessor process.
The start process can not be a successor to another process.
Only one start process is allowed for each process chain.
One start process can only be used in an individual process chain

Trigger process chains from UNIX

Hi,
I just wanted to know how can we trigger Process chains from UNIX Server.
Any pointers will be appreciated.
Thanks

I suggest to use the sapevt.exe.
With it you can trigger an event in the SAP system with the execution of a simple command file (.bat for ex.)
So the event will start the chain as you require.
You can find more info for sapevt in:

Use event trigger process chain

Hi friends,
I am working on a process chain tuning task.
One request is to change a schedule method of an interrupt from date/time to event.
I know how to generate and utilize event.
My worrying is:
Is an event has duration?
E.g Today's process chain scheduled at 01am,,processing, the interrupt was triggered by event at 04am, but at 10am, the event was trigger again for some unknown reason.
Then,the process chain with the interrupt will be scheduled at 04am tomorrow, but actually, there may be no event for tomorrow as requirement(due to some reasons,we do not like PC run everyday).
Anyone know how to solve this problem?

Martin
You partially answered my questions.
My chain contains both date/time schedule and event trigger.
As is:
Start-date/time schedule daily at 1:00am
step1,step2,,etc
interrupt-now, it is date/time schedule,at 4:00am
other steps.
To be:
Start-date/time schedule daily at 1:00am
step1,step2,,etc
interrupt- event trigger schedule
other steps.
I know how to trigger event by ABAP program.
My concern is:
Today afternoon, someone run this ABAP 10 times to generate 10 events,what will happen tomorrow?
Actually,according to business requirement,tomorrow's process chain(interrupt below part) shall not be ran.

Is it possible to run process chain from the certain process/point?

Hello
Is it possible to run process chain from the certain process?
How?
Thanks

Hello,
yes it possible! use the following steps.
1. Goto the process which you want the chain to start from.Goto display messages>> Chain tab. In the generated instance note the variant and instance.
2. Goto table RSPROCESSLOG and give variant and instance and get logid details.
3. t codese37>> run FM RSPROCESSFINISH.
4. give the deatils u have got in RSPROCESSLOG table here and say execute.
This will solve ur problem.
Hope this helps!

I am not sure of any standard program .... but you can write your own... should be a small one..
you can check if the table RSDMDENQ has entry for your InfoObject... if yes, then its locked.. if not.. its not locked

How to stop a process chain after the current running process

Hi experts,
I try to stop a running process chain, but only at the end of the current process load.
I try to unscheduled process chain : the job of the current process is killed and the process stop
I try to execute the programm rspc_process_finsh : same result.
Actually, I aim at waiting of the current process completion and stop the chain.
Thanks and regards,
Bobby

Hi all,
Thanks for answer.
If I resume the situation :
- Click on Unschedule process chain stop the current process. We have to change the status of the process in Yellow to Red.
- Go to sm37 to kill the job change the statut in red.
So there is no way to stop the running of a process chain only after the good or bad end of the last runnning process ?
Example :
My chain is running. The process which is running is a DTP loading process. There are 50 packages to load. I decide to click on Unschedule process chain when the package 18 is running.
If I do that, the loading of package 19 will not start right ?
So is there a way to wait that the 50 packages are loaded before that the system stop the chain ?
Thanks in advance,
Bobby.

Trigger Process Chain from Source System into Target System

Hello...actually in source system BZD, we have a process chain, in the target system BWD, we have another process chain as well. We want to have a process of combining these two process chain together. When the process chain in source system is completed successfully, the system will sent out some sort of signal to start the process chain in BWD. I am not sure how this can be done, I try to use the function module "BP_EVENT_RAISE" in the BZD and when this module is called, it does not start the process chain in BWD after the process chain in BZD is completed. I just wondering am I using the correct method. If will be good if anyone here can help...thanks alot.

Transporting Process Chains-includes the ERROR DTPs in the Target System

Hello Gurus,
Iam facing an issue in version NW2004s while transporting the Process Chains from DEV to QA. The Process Chains in the Target system are including the ERROR Dtps as parallel loads along with the regular DTP.This happens when there exists an ERROR DTP in the Target system at the time of Transport.
This will cause a problem
1.these would run parallel to the regular DTPs.
2.no of back ground processes running at any point will be beyond our limit.
Let me know if you have faced the same issue and how you resolved it.
Thanks
Jagadish

Hi Jiande Ding
create original chain as a Meta chain.
create the another process chain with immedaite in start varaint..
and put abap step in that PC after process chain..
put this below code in that abap program.
DATA: wwdate like sy-datum,
          WWDAY(2).
wwday = sy-datum+6(2).
IF WWDAY EQ '01' OR WWDAY EQ '03'.
   CALL FUNCTION 'RSPC_API_CHAIN_START'
EXPORTING
    I_CHAIN             = <ur meta chain tech.name>
