Hi,
you can achieve this in a following way.
DATA : v_date type sy-datum,
v_day(2) type c.
v_date = sy-datum.
v_day = v_date6(2).+
if v_day = '01' or
v_day = '02" or
v_day = '03".
CALL FUNCTION RSPC_API_CHAIN_START.
pass the name of the chain to this function module.
hope this wil help.

Hi Ioan,
try this in your ABAP:

      EXPORTING
        eventid         = 'Your Event'
        eventparm       = 'START'
        target_instance = ' '
      EXCEPTIONS

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.

Server name message when triggering process chain through ABAP PROGRAM

Hi all,
When I am trying to execute one process chain with variant as a APD ( In this APD data is getting loaded form one Query to Transactional ODS.) This process chainis being executing through one ABAP program using the following code
CALL FUNCTION 'RSPC_API_CHAIN_SCHEDULE'
EXPORTING
I_CHAIN = 'XYZ'. ( Dummy Process chain name)
While executing this program I am getting following message :
You can specify the name of the application server here
on which all jobs in the chain are scheduled
If you do not specify a name, the jobs from batch
management are divided between the available servers
How to avoid this message.
Can we write any code in the above program to assign any fixed server name so that it will not ask for any server name.
Your help is much appreciated.
Thanks,
Uday.

How to schedule a Process Chain using ABAP Program?

Hi All,
I want to schedule the activity of extracting data from the query to a flatfile.
Currently we are schedulling it using the transaction rscrm_bapi.
I need to know , how we can achieve the same using an abap program and not ( rscrm_bapi) in a process chain.
Any help would be appreciated.
Regards
Purva

Your problem will be solved if you use the Function Module "RSPC_API_CHAIN_GET_STATUS" instead of the function module "RSPC_API_CHAIN_GET_LOG".
The function module "RSPC_API_CHAIN_GET_STATUS" gives you the STatus of the process chain, when you pass the Chain Name and the Log ID.
If you get an output
G or F - Report that the Chain is Successfully Completed.
A - The chain is Currently running
R or X - Report that the chain has ended with Errors.
Sample code :
REPORT Z_BW_GET_STATUS_PROZESSKETTE.
TABLES rspclogchain.
DATA: gt_rspclogchain LIKE rspclogchain OCCURS 0,
wa_rspclogchain LIKE rspclogchain.
DATA: gt_log LIKE rspc_s_msg OCCURS 0,
wa_log LIKE rspc_s_msg,
gt_status like RSPC_STATE.
SELECT * FROM rspclogchain
INTO CORRESPONDING FIELDS OF TABLE gt_rspclogchain
WHERE datum = sy-datum
AND chain_id = 'BD_C02_1D'.
IF sy-subrc = 0.
SORT gt_rspclogchain BY datum DESCENDING
zeit DESCENDING.
READ TABLE gt_rspclogchain
INTO wa_rspclogchain INDEX 1.
CALL FUNCTION 'RSPC_API_CHAIN_GET_STATUS'
EXPORTING
i_chain = wa_rspclogchain-chain_id
i_logid = wa_rspclogchain-log_id
IMPORTING
E_STATUS = gt_status.
IF gt_status = 'G' or gt_status = 'F'.
WRITE :/ 'BD_C02_2D chain COMPLETED'.
ELSE.
WRITE :/ 'BD_CO2_2D chain is Running or Ended with Errors'.
ENDIF.
ELSE.
WRITE :/ 'No chain BD_C02_2D started for today ! or keine Kette BD_C02_2D gestartet !'.
ENDIF.
I have just provided a sample code, you might have to edit or add necessary messages to the program.

Ramya

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 a process chain using external scheduler ?

Hi all,
we have a requirement wherein we need to trigger the process chains from an external scheduler used by client rather than directly scheduling it through BW scheduler.So any pointers on this will be heplful.

Hi we have had a same scenario like this. You can schedule it using schedulers like autosys. Speak to your basis team and see if you have the autosys software installed or some thing similar to that. You have to write a program which calls the function RSPC_CHAIN_START. When you excute this program, it willl ask for a variant to execute. this variant will be the start variant of the process chain you want to trigger.
the flow will be like the basis team will schedule the autosys or the scheduler to run the program and this program will in turn trigger the process chain.

Satish.

How to Trigger the process chain using Excel Files?

Hi All,
We have 9 excel files(4 master data attributes and text files and 1 transaction file).
Everyday new records will be added into the excel sheets and we need to trigger all these files into the bw server through process chain automatically . As we have all these Excel files in the desktop.
Please suggest how to achieve this task?
Thanks

Hi,
You cannot load flat files to BW automatically using process chains.
You have to upload them to Apllication server and point your Infopackage to the directory path of the flat file in application server. then process chains can load it.

Fork in process chain using ABAP program

Hello everyone.
I need a fork in my chain. Depending on the values in some db table I will make a decision: do some process or skip and go further. The only solution I can see is using ABAP program. But unfortunately It doesn't return status. Any suggestion will be appreciated.

Hi,
You have few process to run after the abap program. So make all those process as a different chain, and at the end of the ABAP program include a function module to trigger this chain, based on your condition.
If you like this idea, please revert for more information.
Hope this helps.
Thank you,
