Event to trigger Process Chain

Hello Experts,
I need your suggestions to write an event to trigger a process chains after user put text file to server,
but the PC is not run.
here the step what I have done.
a. define an event SM62 "ZEV_PC_START"
b. create abap code to check the file if exist raise the event ZEV_PC_START with BP_EVENT_RAISE.
c. create Process chain.
d. schedule PC after event "ZEV_PC_START"
Could any one tell me the steps in brief. Pointers to any documentation would be highly appreciated.
thanks

Hi expert,
I need create the abap code to check the file if exist raise the event ZEV_PC_START with BP_EVENT_RAISE.
I don't know ABAP, could you help me with the code?
Could you give me examples, please?
Thanks,
Best Regards.

Hi Naveen,
i think we use ABAP program under general services to generate an event.
searching form gave me following threads which might be helpfull
1) explains Evenet generation [Event raising procedure]
other helpfull threads
[Standard tools for Event raising]
[Event in Process Chain]
i could get the process for triggering it weekly,,,it may giv u some help in resolving
change the Start Process (1st process) in your Process Chain to trigger it to start after the event. To do this, maintain the Start Process of your Process Chain. Select "Direct Scheduling" and click the "Change Selections" icon. This will bring up a Start Time window. Click the "After Event" icon and enter your event name. Also, click the "Periodic Job" (this will insure that all the jobs created for each process in the Process Chain will reschedule themselves after executing the first time). Now save the Start Process, and reactivate and schedule the Process Chain.
To execute the Process Chain, use transaction SM64 to trigger the event.
If you want to trigger the event in batch, you will need to create an ABAP program that calls function module BP_EVENT_RAISE (sample ABAP code is available in this forum if you search for "BP_EVENT_RAISE").
We create batch jobs where we call an external program called SAPEVT, located on the server, and I believe is available on all SAP clients, with the following parameter:
EVTID('WEEKLY_PROCESS') SID(PU3) NUMBER(00) EVTPARM()
This will trigger the event WEEKLY_PROCESS.
See if this helps.

Trigger a job using an event through a process chain

Hi,
After the success of 5metachain, I am using AND condition
My requirement is as follows, it should trigger a job which needs to be after AND condition,
I have created an event using sm64. Basically the client wants to trigger the job using the event through the process chain. I have tried test scenariou2019s using ABAP program (Process type) in the process chain but it is failing. Is there any other way to trigger a job using an event through a process chain? If ABAP program is the only option, can you please specify what all needs to be filled in the variant?
Regards.
Jerry

Hi,
Create a program like below,
CALL FUNCTION 'BP_EVENT_RAISE'
EXPORTING
    EVENTID = 'EVENT WHICH YOU HAVE CREATED'
EXCEPTIONS
   BAD_EVENTID                  = 1
   EVENTID_DOES_NOT_EXIST       = 2
   EVENTID_MISSING              = 3
   RAISE_FAILED                 = 4
   OTHERS                       = 5
IF SY-SUBRC <> 0.
MESSAGE ID SY-MSGID TYPE SY-MSGTY NUMBER SY-MSGNO
         WITH SY-MSGV1 SY-MSGV2 SY-MSGV3 SY-MSGV4.
ENDIF.
search and include the program name which you have created above in the "ABAP program" process type which you are going to include in the process chain.
Include the event which you have created in the start condition of the job.
Note: No need of give any variant, because here we are calling only one function in this program.

Trigger Process chain at set time or when an event is raised.

Hi All,
I have a requirement where a process chain should get scheduled at fix time, say at 1:00 AM. Also, it should get scheduled when an event is raised by one BSP application. So, its like Set time OR Event should trigger the chain. Can you please guide, how can i implement this without using a special SM37 job?
Thanks and Regards,
Harpal

Hi Gohil,
The steps to create an event is as follows:
1. Create the event with SM62.
2. In the process chain, maintain your Start process. In the change selections screen, choose the button 'After event'. On the bottom, select your event. Click also on 'Periodic job'.
3. Activate and schedule your process chain. It will then be visible in SM37, waiting for the event.
4. Then you may raise this event from any ABAP program with function module BP_EVENT_RAISE. Each time you raise the event the process chain will start. You can raise the event also manually with SM64.
If you want to fix a time i.e., at 1:00 A.M, you need to got RSPC tcode --> click on the chain --> right click on Start variant --> Click on maintain variant --> Change selections --> Click on Date/Time --> Give the date and time.
If you want to ru7n your chain daily or weekly like periodically, check Periodic Job and click on "Period Values" and select accordingly. Now save everything and click on start variant and activate and schedule your chain.

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:

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>

Trigger process chain using event

Hi all,
Id like to know if someone ever faced this kind of situation.
I have a process in R/3 and it must run every day, and when its finished I have to start a process chain in BW.
I thought to do this using events. So, I created a Job that executes this process and added a step( an ABAP program ) that generates an event in a target system, BW.
The program is this one:
PARAMETERS:
    p_eventi   TYPE btceventid,
    p_eventp   TYPE btcevtparm,
    p_server   TYPE btcserver.
Obligatory parameter: EventID.
EventID should be an existing event already defined in transaction
SM64 or using CREATE method of class CL_BATCH_EVENT:
p_eventi   = 'SAP_TEST'.
Optional parameters: event parameter and target server.
p_eventp = 'Event parameter'.
p_server    = ''.
CALL METHOD cl_batch_event=>raise
    EXPORTING
      i_eventparm                    = p_eventp
      i_server                       = p_server
      i_eventid                      = p_eventi
    EXCEPTIONS
      excpt_raise_failed             = 1
      excpt_server_accepts_no_events = 2
      excpt_raise_forbidden          = 3
      excpt_unknown_event            = 4
      excpt_no_authority             = 5
      OTHERS                         = 6.
CASE sy-subrc.
    WHEN 0.
      EXIT.
    WHEN 1 OR 2 OR 3.
Raise failed.
    WHEN 4.
Event does not exist.
    WHEN OTHERS.
Raised failed due to unknown reason.
ENDCASE.
The execution of the job appears to be OK, but I checked the log at SM62 and couldnt find any entrie, and the process chain didnt start too.
I created the event at BW and R/3 side, informed the variant with event / server in R/3, etc.
Im missing some step??
Best Regards,
Tomas

This is what this note does. From R/3, it will trigger an event in BW.

How to include Events Concept in Process Chain and how to trigger it

Hi
I have Three Process Chains PC1, PC2, PC3 .
I want to trigger there Process Chains by Events .
I want PC1 needs to run every day 7:00am . And once it is finished then PC2 needs to start . And once PC2 is finsihed then PC3 needs to execute .
So please give me step by step process for Process for implementing the Events in this model and give me the steps to include Events concept in my model .
Thanks Alot
Regards
rizwan

Hi,
You can do this without event also. Schedule PC1 first and then have PC2 as local to your PC1 and PC3 as local to PC2. In that way, as soon as PC1 is done it will trigger PC2 and as soon as PC2 is done it will in turn trigger PC3.
If you want it through an event, first create event in SM62 and you can trigger this event in SM64. Then for the PC1 in start variant, click on select conditions, select After Event and give this event name. Now again its better & efficient to trigger this even automatically, for which you need to write an ABAP program in SE38 and define a variant there. This ABAP program can be scheduled as a background job in SM36, click on Click on step on top. Give program name and variant.Click save.Next click on Start Condition and schedule is as your require it to run. So this background job starts automatically and runs your ABAP program which in turn will trigger your event and PC's will get triggered.
For both the approaches, you have to have PC2 & PC3 as Local chains as I explained above.

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.

Trigger process chain in ABAP program

Hi Experts,
We have a requirement to trigger the process chain from an ABAP program. I used the function module RSPC_API_CHAIN_START to trigger the process by passing the process chain name in 'I_CHAIN' and it worked. However, the client wants to trigger this using batch user name as few planners do not have authorization when they executed the custom transaction.
Based on the return code of the function module I am capturing the status for tracking.
Please suggest if there is any alternate solution to pass the user name while triggering a process chain in an abap program.
Thanks and Regards,
Pavithra

hi Chintai,
in bw side, you create a abap program to trigger an event in r/3,
and include this abap program in your process chain, the abap program like
CALL FUNCTION 'BP_EVENT_RAISE'
EXPORTING
eventid = 'ZRUNJOB_DEL'
and in r/3 schedule the program to delete previous data with 'after event',
the event name is same as raise by bw process chain, in this sample ZRUNJOB_DEL.
hope this helps.

How to trigger process chain when datasource is loaded with new data? PUSH

Hi all,
Till now we use the pull method to load data in BW which is done manually......but we would like to work with the PUSH method where whenever new data is loaded in the datasource an event is triggered which inturn triggers the process chain...
how is this possible? can we do this on a timestamp on the datasource to trigger the event?

hi Geo,
Thanks for ur response. I appreciate it.
The case is slightly different. I am working on Bank analyzer data which is residing in a source system defined to load the results from the Results DataBase, a part of the Bank analyzer.
If it was R3 we have the standard calling procedures...but now the data in not in R3 but in Bank analyzer.
I am keen to look at some procedure to push the data automatically whenever an end user execution is done at the BA level into the BW.
ur help would be highly appreciated....

Trigger Process Chain Manually

Hello Experts,
Is there any way we can let a business user trigger a process chain manually without having to log in back-end?
Ideal would be via an HTTP-link just posted on the customer's Intranet... do you have any suggestions?
Thanks!
Best Regards,
Rikard

Hi Arun,
Thank you for your answer. This seems to fit my need, although I'm new to BSP pages. I did however find this very useful guide:
<<http://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/BSP/BSP%2Citstabsandnavigation.>>
What is needed to use such pages? Any special installation other than the front-end? Could any business user with just the sapGUI installed reach the page on the intranet and trigger the load via a button (event)?

Rikard

ABAP code to trigger Process Chain (Weekdays)

Dear experts,
I have a process chain which is triggered after an event in BW which is executed after a job in R3 is finished. This job in R3 is executed all days after another event.
I would like this process chain to be executed only from Monday to Friday. What ABAP code should I write in the function module which triggers the BW event in order to execute it only the days I really need to?
Thanks in advance for your help!
Best regards,
Cecilia

Hello Surendra,
Thakns as well for your help, but my problem is that I don't know any ABAP. With help of SDN posts I've been able to create the program in R3 which calls a FM in BW. My issue now is that I need the exact code which triggers my function module only from Moday to Friday......
The FM I have created in BW which triggers the event is the following (here I suppose I will need a code which says something like, if today is Monday to Friday trigger the event, if not, do not do anything):
FUNCTION Z_BW_EVENT_RAISE_PEDIDOS.
""Interfase local

*"      EVENTID_MISSING
*"      RAISE_FAILED
*"      OTHERS
*data: eventid LIKE TBTCO-EVENTID.
*data: RESULT    type CHAR2.
call function 'BP_EVENT_RAISE'
EXPORTING
eventid = eventid
EXCEPTIONS
bad_eventid = 1
eventid_does_not_exist = 2
