Retrieve event and event parameter in event based background job

Hi,
I think it must be possible but I cannot find documentation of it:
When a batchjob is triggered via an event (defined in SM62) how can I retrieve the event and event parameter from within the triggered job itself. We want to use the event parameter to trigger other batchjobs, but first we must be able to retrieve them...
Thanks
Tom

Standard SAP triggers can be found in TCODE SM64, Background Processing events.

Time-zone independent events and events that span timezones

Hi.
I use Calendar rather heavily. In fact, I have events in my calendar that date back from 1995 or so that have migrated forward from my Newton through Palms and Blackberries and now to iPhones - some migration or coexistence between the Mac and these devices was painful, to say the least. But, I digress...
For the record, I have Time Zone Support off on my iPhone and iPad. It's also off in Calendar on my Mac; the Mac is my 'authoritative' source of calendar (and address book) info. When I move, it changes timezones. For the most part, the iPhone and iPad do the right thing for events that have actual real times to them such as meetings. If I'm supposed to be on a phone call at 7AM Seattle time, when I go to Boston, I need to be on at 10AM and it does all the devices do the right thing with those events.
But, I want to create a recurring (daily) calendar event that happens at the same local time every day, regardless of what timezone I'm in. For example, I create such an event in Seattle for 9AM Seattle time (PT). When I go to Boston, I want it to happen there at 9AM ET; and the same if I went to India - 9AM IST.
Any thoughts? I live with this inconvenience for other things working quite well.
My other desire is when, for example, putting airplane trips into the calendar. I'm in Seattle and putting in Alaska Airlines Flight 12 which departs Seattle at 9:05AM PT and arrives at 5:34PM in Boston (ET). It would be wonderful, if for the the start and end times for event scheduling, there was a pull-down or scroll-wheel from which one could select the time zone. Now, I have to do the calculation and do 9:05AM departure and 2:34PM arrival. It's gets a little more difficult when one is going to places where daylight savings is not observed or if you are unfamiliar with the time differences (as when flying direct from the US to India).
Any thoughts on this problem??
aps.

Hey Armando Stettner,
Thanks for the question, and what a great question it is!
With time zone support on, you can edit an individual event and change the time zone for that event. This list will include options for your default time zones, UTC, and "floating" - the latter of which is what you are looking for. Floating changes the event to occur at the specified time, local time.
For information on changing an event's time zone, see the following resource:
Calendar: Change an event’s time zone
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH11531
I look forward to hearing how this works for you.
Cheers!

How to write events and event handlers?

Any samples?
Thanks

You can generate your custom events and it is very easy.
You will have to extend the EventObject class in order to make an class representing the event.
Iam giving a brief eg:
class MyEvent extends EventObject
MyEvent(Object source)
super(source);//source which generated the event.
//your own code
interface MyEventListener
public void myEventPerformed(MyEvent e);
class abc
java.util.ArrayList arr;
abc
arr = new java.util.ArrayList();
public synchronized void addMyEventListener (MyEventListener l)
arr.add(l);
public synchronized void removeMyEventListener (MyEventListener l)
arr.remove(arr.indexOf(l));
protected void notifyTransEvent(Object source)
MyEvent tEvent = new MyEvent(source);
Iterator itr = arr.iterator();
Iterator itr = arr.iterator();
while(itr.hasNext())
((MyEventListener)itr.next()).myEventPerformed(tEvent);
Now anyone implementing the MyEventListener inetrface can be added in the ArrayList.The ArrayList is the list representing the interesting parties who want to receive the event.When registered they will receive the event.
This class abc is just like an component which on certain situations generate event.You can call notifyEvent in any case where you want the event to be generated.
You will then add this class to your main class as this
class xyz implements MyEventListener
abc obj;
xyz()
obj.addMyEventListener(this);
public void myEventPerformed(MyEvent e)
//your handling code
Hope this example will suffice.

Query about event and event handling

hi,
how exactly events are bieng generated. And how they are transmitted and how they
are caught and handled at low level. I want to trigger my own event whcih can be listen
by my own listener or some existing listener (obviously implemented from some java listener).
so help me out.
TIA
bhups

Well, first you create an interface such as FooListener where you define methods, such as foo().
Now you can make classes that have the method addFooListener(FooListener foo). Then in that class, you can for example decide that doing a certain thing (or based on the time of day or whatever) the class calls all the foo()'s of it's FooListeners and there you go.
Example code:
public interface FooListener {
    public void foo(FooEvent evt);
public class FooEvent {
   private String reason;
   public FooEvent(String reason) {
       this.reason = reason;
   public String getReason() {
      return reason;
public class Bar {
    List listeners = new LinkedList();
    public void addFooListener(FooListener foo) {
        listeners.add(foo);
    protected void fireFooEvent(String reason) {
       Iterator itr = listeners.iterator();
       FooEvent evt = new FooEvent(reason);
       while(itr.hasNext())
          ((FooListener)itr.next()).foo(evt);
    public void doBar() {
        // code omitted
        fireFooEvent("Bar done");
}Howzat?

Events and Event Handlers

Hi,
I need to get the index of a specific line in a table. Selection mode is set to none. The first column contains a menu with two menuActionItems. When I choose an actionitem my event handler is called with parameter WDEVENT TYPE CL_WD_CUSTOM_EVENT. As I understand you have to use this parameter to get the index from the table line.
I have tryed with the following code in my event handler method:
DATA:
        node_lines TYPE REF TO if_wd_context_node,
        elem_lines TYPE REF TO if_wd_context_element,
        l_index TYPE i.
elem_lines = wdevent->get_context_element( name = 'LINES' ).
l_index = elem_lines->get_index( ).
This does not work. The elem_lines is initial after I try to get it.
Hope that someone can guide me in the right direction.
Thanks,
Morten

hi ;
this will work
DATA: mod_cell TYPE salv_wd_t_table_mod_cell,
        wa_mod_cell TYPE LINE OF salv_wd_t_table_mod_cell,
        msg TYPE string.
mod_cell =      r_param->t_modified_cells.
wd_comp_controller->set_material_dtl( ).
LOOP AT mod_cell INTO wa_mod_cell.
msg = wa_mod_cell-index .
msg = mod_cell-index .
l_message_manager->report_success( msg ).
Or else try this.
wd_event is return parameter
data: index type i.
index = wd_event->get_context_elementget_index->get_index( ).

URGENT:Process Chains And events Related

Hi All,
I have created a new process chain which is a normal ODS Process Chain.For that I started with the start Process and then created event in sm62 to trigger the start of process chain.Similarly,I have at the end of the process chain ,I have added 2 ABAP Programs ,one to mark the successful completion of process chain and another to mark the Error or Unsuccessful completion.For these programs,I maintaines Processvariants and here, we have utility Programs.So used the relevant utility program and created a program variant and Events ,One for successful completion of process chain and another to mark the Error or Unsuccessful completion.
But ,Now ,I find that when I trigger the eventin sm64,I find that the process chain is not being run.Is that any problem with the events I created.This is the first i am involved with creation of events in SM62.Can anyone help me in this regard.
Can anyone,tell me thatdo we need to do anything else apart from Creating events .Imean like assigning jobs and then Programs in the Step of that Job.
Please Kindly help me in this regard.It is very very urgent for me.Thank you.Points will be assigned.
Regards,
Samir

Hi,
I have tried in the same way you have said .I have maintained as after event and activated and scheduled.after that i triggered the event insm64.But still,I am not able to see the Load in RSMO.
I have just checked out in sm37.And found that some jobs have failed.I think this might be the reason for the Process chain to not run.
I am just pasting the error msg and solution.
Job BI_PROCESS_ABAP, waiting for event RSPROCESS 489W6WH6I7OHV7BL3N9909F7F, has no predecessor
Message no. RSPC003
Diagnosis
Although job BI_PROCESS_ABAP has been started by event RSPROCESS 489W6WH6I7OHV7BL3N9909F7F and is recognized in the process chain, the current run for this process has no job preceding it.
This is why the system was unable to determine a log ID, and the chain is broken.
System response
The job has been terminated.
Procedure
With the exception of the start process, each process must have a process that precedes it.
Then Another error for the another cancelled job is
Job BI_PROCESS_OR, waiting for event RSPROCESS 489WC2QYBC4AJSYILQ10TWABF, has no predecessor
Message no. RSPC003
Diagnosis
Although job BI_PROCESS_OR has been started by event RSPROCESS 489WC2QYBC4AJSYILQ10TWABF and is recognized in the process chain, the current run for this process has no job preceding it.
This is why the system was unable to determine a log ID, and the chain is broken.
System response
The job has been terminated.
Procedure
With the exception of the start process, each process must have a process that precedes it.
Please kindly help me if you understand the problem.

Process chains and event collectors

Hi All,
I need help in Process chains and event collectors.I joined in new project and this client using process chains and event collectors and they ask me to work on these areas.I didnt work on this as of now So please send any docs on this area and explain the procedure and technology methods behind this concept.I would really appreciate If someone can send me the full documentation on this concept as I couldnt find any any docs on this.
Thanks,
Ras

Hi Ras,
Process chains are a sequence of processes to be performed. The are put together in a chain with the necessary dependancies (process A needs to finish before B can start) and conditions (if A and B are successful then C else send an email), and then scheduled. They usually revolve around processes related to data loading: Load, activate, roll up, compress etc.
Please take a look at this links/threads for more info:

How to create event based process chains

Hi All,
I would like to know about event based process chains. In connection to this, could you please answer the following queries,
1. How to create events
2. How to link created event to the process chain in the same BI or BW system and as well as from
    externel BI system.
3. How link one process chain with other process chain (i.e, After completion of one process chain, it
    should trigger other dependent process chain)
Thanks and Regards,
Kotesh.

1). Doubt regarding first question.
For example, i would like to create time based event (it should be trigger daily at specified time),
where we have to maintain scheduling options while creating event.
When i checked SM62 there i found only two options a). Event name and b). Description.
Could please send any doucument link if you have.
Ans : You can use function modules like "BP_EVENT_RAISE" in a program and schedule the program to trigger.
2). For externel BIW system also same procedure we need to follow or any difference.
Ans : Externally you need to trigger the same event.
3). i found dependent process chain also had scheduling options as direct scheduling insted of start using meta chain or API. As you said dependent process chain should be mata chain. it seems dependent process chain may be Meta chain or Direct scheduilg.
Ans : Its your choice how you want to schedule it.You can either make that dependent chain a metachain or schedule it separately.
I found at the end of first process chain they kept one process like Raise event and second process chain connected with the help of raise event process event name. If you have any idea about this process could explain a bit more.
Ans : May be they are raising the event in the main chain and triggering the dependent chain using this event.
But Metachain is preferred for such thing.Though it does similar thing.
Hope this helps.

Using events in Process chain

Hi All,
I have below scenario:
Now we are using event collecter and subsequent event in event collector .
I am going to convert my loads into Process chain from Infopackage groups. My problem is I can use event1 directly in Start of process chain but how to trigger event2 using this chain. I need to trigger event2 once my PC is completed successfully. The even2 will trigger a background job to execute one ABAP program. This ABAP program triggers event1 again if it meets certain requirement.
Hope you understood my problem.
Thanks in advance
Vani

Hi,
If I have understood properly,
Event1(Start) --> Sequence of PC steps --> ABAP Program Process Type (To trigger Event2) --> Event2 triggers again Event1( If meets requirement)
What is your End of the Process Chain if it triggers again Event1?
Why do you want to trigger events in a cyclic way?
Regards,
Suman

How to trigger Process event in Process Chain

We have a Process chain in which the Event is seen in Yellow ,but it is finished. Down the below Event is not trigerring. How to do that. Please suggest.
Thanks

Hi Annapurna,
Goto SE38 run the function module RSPC_PROCESS_FINISH by providing the entries in LOGID, TYPE, VARIENT, INSTANCE and STATE.
These entries can be get in the table RSPCPROCESSLOG. To execute the table entries go to SE16 and give table name RSPCPROCESSLOG and press enter. Then in the processchain where the chain got stuck, double click on the varient and goto chain tab and you will get VARIENT and INSTANCE.
Copy and paste these in the table RSPCPROCESSLOG selection screen and execute. Here you will get LOGID, TYPE, VARIENT, INSTANCE.
Enter all these field in function module RSPC_PROCESS_FINISH by providing the STATE as G and execute.
Your stuck process chain will move further.
Thanks and regards
Koushik
Steps same as described by AP.
Hope it helps.

Use of events in process chains

Hi All,
Could some one help me in givving me detailed information about the use of events in process chains with some examples .How are they used and what are they performed in background .I am going to start,creating process chains according to the requirements which are based on event scheduling before ..
Your detailed information is really appreciated..
Thanks & Regards

Hi,
Suppose your process chain needs to be started after certain activity is finished, then you can create an event to be triggered when that activity is done. The process chain will start once it gets that triggered event.
This is one use in using events in Process Chains.
Thanks,
Raj
