Need to Trigger a Program in ECC after the DSO load has completed

Question

HI Experts,
I have scenario where i need to trigger a Program in ECC after the load to DSO has been completed successfully. Basically opposite of the everyday scenario.
Can i still use the  the RSSM_EVENT_RAISE FM in the program to call the event in ECC.
If the above is true.Do i need to have code in the program to confirm the DSO has been loaded or can i just have the program (which basically calls the FM RSSM_EVENT_RAISE) appended to the process chain after the DSO Activation?
Appreciate your advice

Hi,
To help future proof your solution, lean towards using the process chain as much as possible.
A "Green/Success" only link from the DataStore Activation process variant to an ABAP Program process variant will work nicely. It will also still allow your program to be executed by other scenarios (like manually because you want the event raised now without any dependency on the DataStore status).
SAP now recommends you use the CL_BATCH_EVENT class and it's methods to interact with the system events. Use transaction SE24 to review the methods and parameters available and then use the sample code below to test your solution.
Here is a starting point for coding that is used within an ABAP Program process variant in a process chain.
Use transaction SE38 to store this code to be called by the ABAP Program process variant.
constants:
  c_interrupt_eventid   type btceventid  value '[Event]',
  c_interrupt_eventparm type btcevtparm  value '[Parameter]'.
data:
  l_interrupt_eventid   type btceventid value c_interrupt_eventid,
  l_interrupt_eventparm type btcevtparm value c_interrupt_eventparm.
call method cl_batch_event=>raise
  EXPORTING
    i_eventid                      = l_interrupt_eventid
    i_eventparm                    = l_interrupt_eventparm
  EXCEPTIONS
    excpt_raise_failed             = 2
    excpt_server_accepts_no_events = 3
    excpt_raise_forbidden          = 4
    excpt_unknown_event            = 5
    excpt_no_authority             = 6
    others                         = 1.
if sy-subrc <> 0.
  message e051(rsar) with 'Failed to raise background event.' c_interrupt_eventid c_interrupt_eventparm.
endif.
Note: The error message is process chain friendly and will appear in the RSPC transaction GUI and system logs.
Hope this helps,
John.
