Include Delete DM log files program in a BPC process chain

Question

Hi All,
We are currently referring to a 'how-to' article which deletes the data manager log files stored at the backend. There is a custom program which does this job. This program can also be scheduled as a backend job to be run periodically as per the guide.
Our requirement is bit different.
What we need, is it possible to create a data manager package where this program can be run by the business user. We have tried creating a BPC process chain and included a BW process type 'ABAP Program' in it. In this we are calling the custom program and also used a variant based on which the program is expected to run.
- Created a BPC process chain by including BPC process types 'Modify Dynamically' and at the end of the process chain 'BPC clear tables (with close_mode = 0)
Is the above a workable solution? Though the package is successful from BPC excel, it is not doing the required job for us. How to make it work from a data manager package?
Thanks

Hi Ramya,
if you want to see the result it should run first.
after adding abap program to process chain, activate it.
now right click on process chain start --> display variant --> change selection.
check what is the start condition, if it is nto in immediate then comback
click on edit --> change selection
select immediate --> unchek the periodic values. and save. come back
again click on save. come back.
now schedule your process chain by clikc on clock symbol.
after successfull completion of your process chain you can check in SE16
