How to pass date to program in process chain

Hello,
I have a program to extract the data of a query (using 'RRW3_GET_QUERY_VIEW_DATA' ) that I want to run in the process chain.
This program is dynamic in that I pass the query name and the variables required by that query. As such, I need to pass the date dynamically because each time I use this program for a different query the dates required will differ. One query night require current month, another query might require current month -1, etc. and be dynamic so that I never have to change the settings of the process once created, i.e. it will automatically know which month it is extracting for each month.
Is there a way to do this in the process chain?
I made the program dynamic (by giving it parameters) rather than having to create a program hardcoded for each query.
I have searched but cannot see anything relevent.
I hope somone can help me!!!
Thanks
Richard

In your ABAP program that calls 'RRW3_GET_QUERY_VIEW_DATA' you can define a select-option for the date, so that you can enter this information on the selection screen.
Now create a variant (as mentioned before) for your query and your dates. Important to stress out here is that the dialog to save variants offers already in the standard multiple option to define dates or date ranges dynamically.
So you can pick one of the standard dynamic variables to have the variant always pick e.g. the current date or the previous month.
Have a look in the SAP help for "Using Variables for Date Calculations"
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/c0/98039be58611d194cc00a0c94260a5/frameset.htm
The screens look old and grey, but this still works fine and can be used to avoid hard-coding or storing values in Z-tables.
Best,
Ralf

How to Pass Values from DM to Process Chain

We want to load data from BI Infocube to BPC based on user input in Data Manager. So we have created Custom Process Chain for this.
But I am not sure how to read the Input values in DM and pass it Infopackage\DTP. so that we can restrict the data selection from source.

HOW TO VIEW DATA IN LOG VIEW - PROCESS CHAIN?

HAI FRIENDS,
I SIMULTANEOUSLY LOADED DATA INTO ODS AND INFOCUBE....I USED THE PROCESS CHAIN TO LOAD DATA.. BUT AFTER ACTIVATING, I COULD N'T VIEW THE DATA IN THE LOG.AFTER THAT I FOUND OUT DATA IS NOT LOADED INTO THE ODS ..SO I ACTIVATED IT AGAIN.. DID THE PROCESS CHAIN ACTIVATE.. EVEN AFTER THAT I COULD NOT VIEW DATA IN LOG VIEW AND ALSO WHEN I CLICK ON LOAD DATA PROCESS(ODS) NO DATA IS FOUND.. PLS HELP OUT
WITH REGARDS
APPU

Hi,
Go to the manage screen for that ODS. See teh relevent request and find how many records were transferred and how many added.
If it is zero added records, then check for any rules.

How to I insert ABAP Programs in Process Chain ?

Hi mates,
I need to know how exactly in a Process Chain can I start a ABAP Program ?
For Instance, if X happens the go and execute this program it not execute Y program ?
Kindly advice

Hi,
Yes you can definitely insert an ABAP program process in a PC.
You can include a ABAP Process which is available in the Processes under PC. And it asks for a Variant and ABAP report name.
You need to create a Variant for the ABAP program.
This will also have a Output, like if in case the variants are correct and the Program logic is matched then in that case the output is given else not given. Which turns the process GREEN / RED accordingly.
Hope this helps,

Performace tuning: how to pass data between different batch job programs?

Hi everyone,
    now i have one problem about performance tuning using threading in SAP programs: split one big program into two programs - one is main program and the other is sub program. using batch jobs, we can submit multi jobs of sub program at the same time.
    does anybody know how to pass data between different batch jobs? I don't want to use temp files. can ABAP memory can implement this?
    thanks!

Wei,
Yes we can transfer the data by using
SAP Memory OR ABAP Memory.
Ex: V_count TYPE i.
V_count = 100.
LOOP AT itab.
IF v_count EQ 25.
Here For every batch job
EXPORT data TO MEMORY ID 'ABC'
   Function module
    JOB_OPEN
   JOB_SUBMIT
   JOB_CLOSE.
ENDIF.
ENDLOOP .
IN your 2nd program.
INITIALIZATION.
IMPORT data FROM MEMORY IF 'ABC'.
FREE memory if .---When you free the memory you will get recent data.

How to pass data from one internal session to another internal session

hi all sap experts ,
How to pass data from one internal session to another internal session and from oneExternal session to another external session.
Except : Import and Export parameters and SPA/GPA parameters.
Tell me the otherWay to pass data ..
Plz
Thanks in advance

hi,
abap memory management u will understand about this concept.
the import /export parameter will help u that passing data between two internal sessions by using abap memory.
for syntax
Passing Data Between Programs
There are two ways of passing data to a called program:
Passing Data Using Internal Memory Areas
There are two cross-program memory areas to which ABAP programs have access (refer to the diagram in Memory Structures of an ABAP Program) that you can use to pass data between programs.
SAP Memory
SAP memory is a memory area to which all main sessions within a SAPgui have access. You can use SAP memory either to pass data from one program to another within a session, or to pass data from one session to another. Application programs that use SAP memory must do so using SPA/GPA parameters (also known as SET/GET parameters). These parameters can be set either for a particular user or for a particular program using the SET PARAMETER statement. Other ABAP programs can then retrieve the set parameters using the GET PARAMETER statement. The most frequent use of SPA/GPA parameters is to fill input fields on screens (see below).
ABAP Memory
ABAP memory is a memory area that all ABAP programs within the same internal session can access using the EXPORT and IMPORT statements. Data within this area remains intact during a whole sequence of program calls. To pass data to a program which you are calling, the data needs to be placed in ABAP memory before the call is made. The internal session of the called program then replaces that of the calling program. The program called can then read from the ABAP memory. If control is then returned to the program which made the initial call, the same process operates in reverse. For further information, refer to Data Clusters in ABAP Memory.
Filling Input Fields on an Initial Screen
Most programs that you call from other programs have their own initial screen that the user must fill with values. For an executable program, this is normally the selection screen. The SUBMIT statement has a series of additions that you can use to fill the input fields of the called program:
Filling the Selection Screen of a Called Program
You cannot fill the input fields of a screen using additions in the calling statement. Instead, you can use SPA/GPA parameters. For further information, refer to Filling an Initial Screen Using SPA/GPA Parameters.

How to pass data from one internal session to another

Hi SAP Experts,
How to pass data from one internal session to another and from One external session to another external session. I used import and export parmeter and SPA/GPA parameters. What is the other way to pass data?

Memory Structures of an ABAP Program
In the Overview of the R/3 Basis System you have seen that each user can open up to six R/3 windows in a single SAPgui session. Each of these windows corresponds to a session on the application server with its own area of shared memory.
The first application program that you start in a session opens an internal session within the main session. The internal session has a memory area that contains the ABAP program and its associated data. When the program calls external routines (methods, subroutines or function modules) their main program and working data are also loaded into the memory area of the internal session.
Only one internal session is ever active. If the active application program calls a further application program, the system opens another internal session. Here, there are two possible cases: If the second program does not return control to the calling program when it has finished running, the called program replaces the calling program in the internal session. The contents of the memory of the calling program are deleted. If the second program does return control to the calling program when it has finished running, the session of the called program is not deleted. Instead, it becomes inactive, and its memory contents are placed on a stack.
The memory area of each session contains an area called ABAP memory. ABAP memory is available to all internal sessions. ABAP programs can use the EXPORT and IMPORT statements to access it. Data within this area remains intact during a whole sequence of program calls. To pass data to a program which you are calling, the data needs to be placed in ABAP memory before the call is made. The internal session of the called program then replaces that of the calling program. The program called can then read from the ABAP memory. If control is then returned to the program which made the initial call, the same process operates in reverse.
All ABAP programs can also access the SAP memory. This is a memory area to which all sessions within a SAPgui have access. You can use SAP memory either to pass data from one program to another within a session, or to pass data from one session to another. Application programs that use SAP memory must do so using SPA/GPA parameters (also known as SET/GET parameters). These parameters are often used to preassign values to input fields. You can set them individually for users, or globally according to the flow of an application program. SAP memory is the only connection between the different sessions within a SAPgui.
The following diagram shows how an application program accesses the different areas within shared memory:
In the diagram, an ABAP program is active in the second internal session of the first main session. It can access the memory of its own internal session, ABAP memory and SAP memory. The program in the first internal session has called the program which is currently active, and its own data is currently inactive on the stack. If the program currently active calls another program but will itself carry on once that program has finished running, the new program will be activated in a third internal session.
Data Clusters in ABAP Memory
You can store data clusters in ABAP memory. ABAP memory is a memory area within the internal session (roll area) of an ABAP program and any other program called from it using CALL TRANSACTION or SUBMIT.
ABAP memory is independent of the ABAP program or program module from which it was generated. In other words, an object saved in ABAP memory can be read from any other ABAP program in the same call chain. ABAP memory is not the same as the cross-transaction global SAP memory. For further information, refer to Passing Data Between Programs.
This allows you to pass data from one module to another over several levels of the program hierarchy. For example, you can pass data
From an executable program (report) to another executable program called using SUBMIT.
From a transaction to an executable program (report).
Between dialog modules.
From a program to a function module.
and so on.
The contents of the memory are released when you leave the transaction.
To save data objects in ABAP memory, use the statement EXPORT TO MEMORY.
Saving Data Objects in Memory
To read data objects from memory, use the statement IMPORT FROM MEMORY.
Reading Data Objects from Memory
To delete data clusters from memory, use the statement FREE MEMORY.
Deleting Data Clusters from Memory

How to pass data between two internal sessions using ABAP memory?

Hi,
How to pass data between two internal sessions using ABAP memory?
It would be fine if you could explain with an example.
And also let me clear about the data passing between two main sessions and two external sessions with specific examples.
Thanks.

Hi ,
check the example.
Reading Data Objects from Memory
To read data objects from ABAP memory into an ABAP program, use the following statement:
Syntax
IMPORT <f1> [TO <g 1>] <f 2> [TO <g 2>] ... FROM MEMORY ID <key>.
This statement reads the data objects specified in the list from a cluster in memory. If you do not use the TO <g i > option, the data object <f i > in memory is assigned to the data object in the program with the same name. If you do use the option, the data object <f i > is read from memory into the field <g i >. The name <key> identifies the cluster in memory. It may be up to 32 characters long.
You do not have to read all of the objects stored under a particular name <key>. You can restrict the number of objects by specifying their names. If the memory does not contain any objects under the name <key>, SY-SUBRC is set to 4. If, on the other hand, there is a data cluster in memory with the name <key>, SY-SUBRC is always 0, regardless of whether it contained the data object <f i >. If the cluster does not contain the data object <f i >, the target field remains unchanged.
In this statement, the system does not check whether the structure of the object in memory is compatible with the structure into which you are reading it. The data is transported bit by bit. If the structures are incompatible, the data in the target field may be incorrect.
PROGRAM SAPMZTS1.
DATA TEXT1(10) VALUE 'Exporting'.
DATA ITAB LIKE SBOOK OCCURS 10 WITH HEADER LINE.
DO 5 TIMES.
ITAB-BOOKID = 100 + SY-INDEX.
APPEND ITAB.
ENDDO.
EXPORT TEXT1
TEXT2 FROM 'Literal'
TO MEMORY ID 'text'.
EXPORT ITAB
TO MEMORY ID 'table'.
SUBMIT SAPMZTS2 AND RETURN.
SUBMIT SAPMZTS3.
The first part of this program is the same as the example in the section Saving Data Objects in Memory. In the example, the programs SAPMZTS1 and SAPMZTS2 are called using SUBMIT. You can create and maintain the programs called using the SUBMIT statement by double-clicking their names in the statement. For further information about the SUBMIT statement, refer to Calling Executable Programs (Reports)
Example for SAPMZTS2:
PROGRAM SAPMZTS2.
DATA: TEXT1(10),
TEXT3 LIKE TEXT1 VALUE 'Initial'.
IMPORT TEXT3 FROM MEMORY ID 'text'.
WRITE: / SY-SUBRC, TEXT3.
IMPORT TEXT2 TO TEXT1 FROM MEMORY ID 'text'.
WRITE: / SY-SUBRC, TEXT1.
Example for SAPMZTS3:
PROGRAM SAPMZTS3.
DATA JTAB LIKE SBOOK OCCURS 10 WITH HEADER LINE.
IMPORT ITAB TO JTAB FROM MEMORY ID 'table'.
LOOP AT JTAB.
WRITE / JTAB-BOOKID.
ENDLOOP.
The output is displayed on two successive screens. It looks like this:
and
The program SAPMZTS2 attempts to read a data object TEXT3 from the data cluster "text", which does not exist. TEXT3 therefore remains unchanged. The existing data object TEXT2 is placed in TEXT1. In both cases, SY-SUBRC is 0, since the cluster "text" contains data.
The program SAPMZTS3 reads the internal table ITAB from the cluster "table" into the internal table JTAB. Both tables have the same structure, namely that of the ABAP Dictionary table SBOOK.

How to pass Data from one form to the other

Hi all
Can any one suggest me how to pass data from one form to the other form, which i zoomed from the original one?
I tried to do this by passing parameter in Event Procedure but i am getting error msg when i am opening the zoomed form.
If any one of u have any idea, give me a reply
Thank you
Suhasini

If you choose the second alternative you should erase these global variables after the second form is opened
You can erase the global variable using:
erase('global_var')
