Scheduling Process Chains through Jobs

Question

Hi All,
I have a question regarding scheduling of process chains using Jobs created in SM36.
In our project we are not using Meta Chains to run the individual Process Chains.
Instead jobs have been created for each chain and the jobs are scheduled one after another and dependencies are maintained (e.g. Job A depends on Job B)
However, on scheduling, we find that even before Job B completes Job A gets triggered and both the Process Chains start running in parallel instead of waiting for the completion of the first Chain.
Any solution for this ??
Thanks
Sam

Hi,
I can suggest one method using Events...
Start
           |
      Load-Cube A
          |
    After Success raise Event (This is Event Program, you need to insert)
After Event the dependent Process Chain will trigger
Start
           |
      Load-Cube B
          |
    After Success raise Event (This is Event Program, you need to insert) -->If you need
Create Events in SM64 and use in below Program..see the sample code.
REPORT  ZE_SIT_RP.
DATA: EVENTID LIKE TBTCJOB-EVENTID.
DATA: EVENTPARM LIKE TBTCJOB-EVENTPARM.
EVENTID = 'ZE_SIT'.
EVENTPARM = 'ZEP_SIT'.
CALL FUNCTION 'RSSM_EVENT_RAISE'
  EXPORTING
    I_EVENTID                    = EVENTID
    I_EVENTPARM                  = EVENTPARM
* EXCEPTIONS
*   BAD_EVENTID                  = 1
*   EVENTID_DOES_NOT_EXIST       = 2
*   EVENTID_MISSING              = 3
*   RAISE_FAILED                 = 4
*   OTHERS                       = 5
IF SY-SUBRC <> 0.
* MESSAGE ID SY-MSGID TYPE SY-MSGTY NUMBER SY-MSGNO
*         WITH SY-MSGV1 SY-MSGV2 SY-MSGV3 SY-MSGV4.
ENDIF.
Thanks
