Scheduling of a process chain

Hi All gurus,
i want to automatically schedule a process chain at a fixed time each day.
Is it feasible?
Could you please tell me how to proceed?
Thanks in adv,
Federico

In the Start process of your process chain, select Direct Scheduling and then click the Change Selections icon. This will bring you to the Start Time window where you can put in the Date/Time you want to start your process chain. At the bottom of this window, click on the Periodic job box and you will notice another icon way at the bottom called Period Values. Click this to determine what frequency the job should be rescheduled (ie. daily, weekly, etc.).
Hope this helps.

How to schedule infospokes in process chains..

Hi All,
I have a few infospokes to be scheduled in a process chain. In each infospoke, I have upto 10 jobs that are to be scheduled one after the other. At the end of these jobs I have to run a FTP script. I am new at creating the process chains. So can anybody help me out in letting me know:
1. How to create a start process where I can select a given job by using its name
2. How to run a FTP script as a follow up step on completion of a previous step.
Thanks in advance
John

Hi John
it a big task to explain all so I will try to give you the high level picture.
1. process chain is easy to implement and learn.
   usually it is triggered either by a batch job or a
   batch job that fires an event.
2. to call an OS (like Win or Unix) from the PC you can
   trigger an event from the end of the PC to call a
   ABAP program that will initiate an OS call.
   you use trx: SM69   - External Operating Sys Commands
   to set this call up.
3. to implement an FTP you can do via a batch file with
   OS commands or by using free utilities (there are many of them).
I hope it helps.

Hi,
How do I cancel the scheduled jobs for process chains which are going to run tonight.
thanks,
Radha

Hello,
Go into transaction code RSPC and then select the particular process chain by going into the edit mode and in the menu...
Look for Execution --> Remove from Schedule.
Let me know if that answered your question.
Thanks

Scheduling of a process chain in two meta process chains

Hi,
( Meta process chains - X, Z
X - runs at 2 a.m. daily
Z - runs after every two hours daily from 9 a.m. to 10.30 p.m
Process chain - Y is to be included in X & Z)
There is a Meta process chain X which is scheduled for 2 a.m. daily. This meta process chain contains another
process chain Y.
I want to schedule another Meta process chain Z which executes after every two hours daily. Now I want to include process chain Y in Z, with the condition that if system time is 11 a.m. or later than it only then it should be scheduled.
Since this process chain is contained in Meta process chain X, its start variant
has Immediate Start selected. I don't want to change this start variant.
Is there any option or event through which this can be achieved?
Thanks & Regards,
Manisha

You need a program to trigger event (using function module BP_EVENT_RAISE). You can include this program and variant only in the process chain as a ABAP process type.
The program will have a condition based on the time (you can use parameters to make it dynamic), when ever the specified time condition will be satisfied, it will trigger the event.
So whenever you will execute the process chain X, everytime ABAP process type will also be executed. But the event will be raised only at a specific time, so is it process chain Y. Therefore it will not affect process chain X execution.

How to delete old schedule time of process chain after changing

I am try to change the schedule time of process chain on production but after changed the old schedule is still working (i.e. every day on 7 am I want change it to 6 am only) ,one process scheduled two time.
I want only last changed. How to remove the older one?
Thanks

hmm wierd...one more thing check if this process chain get trigger by anyother process chain by some abap program or any.
Check the table rspcchain to know if it has any meta chain or not. IF not follow the below steps :
make your process chain trigger based upon the event. Follow the below step.
1.SM64 ---> Create event -
> come to your process chain -> maintain the start variant -> event base---> give that event name here.Now we will be require to create the job which will trigger this event for this.
2.Let us take the below PC as example;
ZL_TD_HCM_004 -- This PC is running after event u2018START_ZL_TD_HCM_004u2019
3.Go to T Code: SM36 Here we define the Background job which will be available in SM37 after saving it.
4.It will ask for ABAP Program to be entered. Give it as Z_START_BI_EVENT and Select Variant from the list. (Based on Process chain, you can select it)
5.Then select Start Conditions and give the start time of process chain. and select periodicity.
6.Save the newly created job in SM36.It will be now available in SM37.
This should solve your problem now .. have fingure crossed
Thanks,
Deepak

Multiple scheduling of the process chain

Hi All,
Please help me regarding this matter. I need to schedule a process chain to run every wednesday, and also when it runs, it need to run 4 times each hour on wednesday. I can copy this instance 48 times in SM37, but I think there is a better solution out there. Thanks in advance for all your advice and opinion.

Create a new factory calender. This can be done via TCode SCAL (if you search forum you'll find plenty of post on it).
In this calender except for Wednesday mark all other days of week as holiday.
Now go to the start variant of the PC.
Give start date and time of the next Wednesday.
Select the check box periodic.
Under period values select other period and use every 4 hours or whatever period values you want.
Under restrictions select the calender ID you just created and select the radio button do not execute on sundays and hoildays.
Save settings, activate and schedule the process chain.

Scheduling DTPs without Process Chains

Hello all,
Just the same way as scheduling an InfoPackage for later execution, can DTPs also be scheduled manually for later and recurring execution without using Process Chains. I wagely remember that I figured out a way sometime back, but cannot remember it now. It could be thru a function module OR ABAP program OR something else. Any help will be appreciated.
Regards
Sankar

You can't schedule DTP manually except process chain.

I'm trying to schedule the Technical Content Process Chain as per SAP Note 934848 - step 4.
This step says:
4. Schedule Process Chains.
Please schedule the technical content process chains (0TCT*) in transaction RSPC. "INIT" process chains need to be scheduled once and "DELTA" process chains should be scheduled periodically.
But when I open RSPC I can't find anything with (0TCT*).
Can anyone help me?

Modifiying, Transporting and Scheduling Process Chain

Hello ALL,
i have to create a new process chain for a delta Load and put this process chain in a big existing Meta Chain, after i have to transport to Quality System.
if i control the difference between Dev and Quality system to have an idea i see that the Infopackages in Dev have the execution tab: Load Data Immediately without job: BI_BTCH
in Quality some Infopackages have execution tab: run successively in batch with job like this:
BI_BTCH LX6CW08S1ICM04I4O06KOPL
can you tell me please in detail how should i complete this activity:
- wich type of control should i do before creating and modifiying process chain in DEV and Quality
- how should i do to control in Quality the scheduling of a process chain
- if i modify a process chain in DEV and after i will transport in Quality what will be the affect in Scheduling, the scheduling will be the same without problem or i have to schedule again
- in generale how can i schedule a process chain, wich transaction and how in detail
Thanks a lot for your help
Bilal

Hi Bilal,
1) EVENT: When you want to have a process chain 'A' to be started after completion of a process chain 'B' or any process in process chain 'B' we can use this event. These two chains can also be from different BI systems. Like Chain 'A' could be from one production system and Chain 'B' could be from different production system. As soon as the chain A finished an event will be triggered and this event will trigger the chain B. The start time of chain B might differ because it depends on the completion of chain A. To schedule a process chain using an event, Go to Tcode: RSPC look for your chain. Switch to change mode. Right click on the start variant and select maintain variant. Click on "change selections. click on "after event," give the event name in the slot and select the periodic job.
2) RUN JOB PERIODICALLY: When you want to have the chain run for more than once periodically we select this option. Suppose, chain B has to run after completion of chain A periodically we have to use this option. If you do not check this option, your chain B will run only once when the event is triggered after completion of Chain A. From the next time onwards, it not run even the event is triggered.
3) JOB: For every process when it runs a job will be created assainging it to a work process in the system. Similarly, when the chain starts a job will be created containing the log of the run. Also, in the scheduling options of a process chain, you can have your process chain started after completion of a particular job in the system (ex: an attribute change). For this, Go to Tcode: RSPC look for your chain. Switch to change mode. Right click on the start variant and select maintain variant. Click on "change selections. click on "after job" give the job name in the slot and save the settings.
4) SCHEDULING PROCESS CHAIN: Means to make settings to a process chain so that it will run on a periodic basis at a certain time. If you want to start a chain immediately, you will choose the option immediately and trigger it. It will run for only once. But, if you want to have your chain run everyday at 7:00 am in the morning, you have to schedule it using the scheduling options as below:
In Tcode: RSPC look for your chain. Switch to change mode. Right click on the start variant and select maintain variant. Click on "change selections." Click on Date/Time button. Give the start date and time in the Scheduled Start slots. (Ex: 09-04-2009, 7:00, to have the chain run at 7:00 everyday starting from tomorrow). Tick the check box Periodic job in the bottom and click on "periodic values" button and select the option as daily and save it. Then click on "Restrictions" button to specify the factory calander. The Tcode for calander is SCAL, where you can see all the factory calanders in the system and you can choose that suits your requirement. Save the changes and navigate back to process chain maintaince screen and click on "Schedule" button.
Now your chain is automated for trigger

Infopackage loads 0 record in process chain as BG job not running correctly

Hi Experts,
I have scheduled a daily process chain for Purchasing.
The infopackage in the process chain loads 0 records from R/3 and shows green status but data is available in R/3. Its a FULL update.
But when I load the data manually the infopackage fetchs the record form R/3.
When I checked the background job in R/3 that loaded 0 records, the job gets finished abruptly without fetchig any data.
Please find the job log below:

But the background job for the request when I run the infopackage manually calls a function BW_BTE_CALL_BW204010_E (BTE) and fetches the record from R/3.

Kindly help me on this issue as why the job run through process chain is not fetchibg any records.
Regards,
Indhuja

Hi Prasanth,
If the background jobs are not availbale when IP is triggered then the BG job will ot be executed and the IDOCs will get struck.
Once we push the IDOc only the BG job will be executed until then the PC will wait with yellow status.
Hence this is not the issue with the non availability of BG WP.
Also for last one week this issue was happening but today the job executed successfully through the Process chain itself.
Then it shows this is not the issue with PC also.
The job is executed using RFCUSR.
Please suggest what would be the possible cause for this issue.
Regards,
Indhuja

How to delete masterdata via process-chain

Hi Specialists,
I need to delete masterdata which is not used in any cube/osd on a daily base.
But I cannot find a possibility to do that via the process-chain. There seems only to
be the option to delete the content of cubes and ods-object, but not of info-objects.
Could you please gimme some hint?!
Best regards,
Marco

Use function module RSDMD_DEL_MASTER_DATA in a ABAP program.. then schedule it in process chain..
Cheers,
DK
Giving points is another way to say thanks )
