SM64 & SM62

Why doesnt my process chain appear in SM62 ? i'm trying to trigger the even manually through SM64 but the process chain I want to trigger is not recognized. wht could be the problem

Hi Farhan,
You have to trigget your event manually in sm64. You cannot see your process chain there. You have to enter your Event name in sm64 (start process->after event) and trigger it. you have to maintain your event name in sm62 before you trigger the event.
Hope that helps.
Thanks.

SM62 & SM64

I'm trying to understand the concept of SM62. So if I want to manually trigger an event, lets say a process chain, so that means firrst I have to maintan an event for it in SM62? If yes, can anyone guide me through the process ? thanks in advance

Hi...
SM62 Display/Maintain events in SAP ie to create an event.....
also use function BP_EVENT_RAISE
An SAP event is a "flag" that is created in SAP (SM62). This event (or flag) can be triggered (from a Unix job to an incoming file), causing a job to execute in the background. This event (or flag) can be triggered within R/3 or can be done at the Unix level.
First, create an event in SM62. Itu2019s easy - just create it under "user event names" and "maintain". Youu2019ll find the create option from there.
Once created go to SM36 and create the job. Put in the job name you want to call it - fill in the ABAP/4 program youu2019ll want executed, but under "START DATE" select option AFTER EVENT. Then plug in your SAP event name you created. Fill in the remaining information on this screen and save.
Once saved, an entry is put in table BTCEVTJOB. The entry is the name of the event you raised. This is the systemu2019s way of keeping track of which jobs are in the queue waiting for an event to occur.
Now, once the event is triggered this newly created job will execute. The event can be triggered via sap (SM64)
If you want to trigger the event manually from within SAP, use transaction
SM64
or
Create an event in SM62
Call that event using BP_event raise fn module

Event History SM62 - doesn't show the events raised

Hello,
I definded an event within SM64 and raised the event during a perodical job. Now I thought to see the events with SM62, but there are only old events listed. I checked the selection criteria and changed them that all events should be listed.
Has anyone an idea?
Regards Geert

Hi Juan.
I have the authorization and I'm also able to list "old" events. Could it have something to do that I raised the events with the report BTC_EVENT_RAISE?
Regards Geert
P.S. Thanks for the first reply

SM64 doesn't work

Hi All!
I've created an user event in SM62 to use in a process chain. I've declared the event at "Start" in my process chain without a parameter and checked "periodic job".
When I try to trigger this event in transaction SM64, my process chain doesn't start.
Does anybody can help me? Did I miss any step?
Thank you!!
Aline

Did you activate and schedule your process chain? Go into your process chain using RSPC. Right-click on the Start variant and select "Displaying Scheduled Job(s)... You should see a job called BI_PROCESS_TRIGGER. This is the job that starts your process chain. Check the start conditions of this job.
Hope this helps.

Whats is the use of SM64 Tcode?? and about Trigger Event???

Hi
Whats is the use of SM64 Tcode?? and about Trigger Event???
Can anyone tell me??
Thanks & Regards

Hi,
When scheduling a background job, you can specify it to start "after event".
If you do so, you'll have to create an event in SM62.
If a job is scheduled after event event and you trigger the event with SM64, the job will start.
Events can be raised by external systems in SAP by sending a command to a SAP application server. You can also raise event in any program using function mosule BP_EVENT_RAISE.
hope this helps....

What does SM64 Do , BDC...

Hi,
I want to know hat does t-code SM64 do?
It triggers an event. I want to know what sort of event does it trigger, I am making a BDC for that but am not sure for all of its functionality.I also want to know when exactly does it create an event manually...
Also in the program if the bdc executes then under which circumstances does an entry be present in SM35 and not present in Sm35 if SY-SUBRC =0, i.e no error.
Regards
Arnab.

Hope this will help.
Events let you start background jobs when particular changes in the SAP system take place. When an event occurs, the background processing system starts all jobs that were scheduled to wait for that event.
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04s/helpdata/en/fa/096e2a543b11d1898e0000e8322d00/frameset.htm
Events have meaning only in the background processing system. You can use events only to start background jobs.
Triggering an event notifies the background processing system that a named condition has been reached. The background processing system reacts by starting any jobs that were waiting for the event.
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04s/helpdata/en/fa/096e37543b11d1898e0000e8322d00/frameset.htm
Use function module BP_EVENT_RAISE to trigger an event from an ABAP program.
Example
Report processing before triggering event...
Trigger event to start background jobs waiting for the event.
DATA: EVENTID LIKE TBTCJOB-EVENTID.
DATA: EVENTPARM LIKE TBTCJOB-EVENTPARM.
EVENTID = 'SP_TEST_EVENT'. " Event name must be defined
" with transaction SM62.
EVENTPARM = 'EVENT1'. " Optional: a job can be
" scheduled to wait for an
" EVENTID or combination of
" EVENTID and EVENTPARM.
CALL FUNCTION 'BP_EVENT_RAISE' " Event is triggered. Jobs
EXPORTING " waiting for event will be
EVENTID = EVENTID " started.
EVENTPARM = EVENTPARM
TARGET_INSTANCE = " Instance at which an event
" should be processed. Can
" generally be omitted.
EXCEPTIONS OTHERS = 1. " Exceptions include event not
" defined, no EVENTID
" exported, etc.

About my experience working with events:
In one of my BW Project: we were using AutoSys to do job scheduling (to run InfoPackages).
To automate the loading process we created events for each infopackage. Then in that Infopackage we used to select option "Start later in Background" and then select option "After Event". Then specified the event name and parameter.
Then in the same infopackage we selected button "Subsequent Process" the in that seelct option "Trigger Events" Here you can have options to specify if this event is successful then what next event to trigger and if this event fails what next event to trigger.
So this way we used to automate data loads.
This was dont caz there was no process chains concept during that time. So good example of events and event based process are PROCESS CHAINS.
Hope this helps !!
Assign points if helps !!

Hi Guru
Have you checked if the events are directly maintainable in respective servers?

Event SM62 - Is it possible to pass some parameters ?

Hello,
with SM62 transaction is possible to create an event.
there's the possibility to manage the parameters ?
I mean, I call the event X for material number Y.
The program or job (for exemple) that is triggered can read that the parameters is article N° y ? How do it ?
Thank you,
Roberto

Hi,
I don't think you can pass any parameters while triggering an event.
However, If you are raising the event through ABAP, you can update the material number to a Ztable and make use of it in the background job. May be you can use a flag in the Ztable to set once the background job process a particular material.

How can I trigger an event from an ABAP Program

Hi everyone,
I have a requirement, where I have to create an ABAP program, that has to execute (trigger) an event which belongs to a Process Chain. when I run the program, the Process Chain has to run.
So, how can I do it?
Thanks for your help, Federico

HI ,
The program can call function module BP_EVENT_RAISE to raise the event. you can create vent in sm64 and sm62 .There you give the parameter of the event same as what you will define in the event of start variant of your process chian ..

How to stop a process chain tempararly

Hi
we have a process chain BI (7.0) which extracts data from R/3
scheduled everyday at 6AM. However, our basis team is
shutting down the R/3 server around this time for maintenance.
I want stop the process cain for this day and start regular
schedule the next day. Can some body please tell me the
steps involved in this process. we are using BI7
Thanks

hi srigant...
schedule your start process to run periodically (every day, hour, week...) at a particular time. If this schedule shall not be possible with the standard SAP scheduling, then schedule your start process to be fired "after event". Create an event in SM62. Then write an ABAP report raising this event with function module BP_ENVENT_RAISE. You can as well test this by raising your event manually in SM64.
so you need to write ABAP program for triggering an event based on the time and check condition...
hope it helps..

BP_EVENT_RAISE : How do I know if the event was raised successfully ?

Hi All,
I need to start a process chain after an event Z_MYEVENT.
In BI7
1) For the pc Z_MYPC, the start process variant -> direct scheduling -> After Event -> specified the event Z_MYEVENT, parameter: blank
2) In SM62 under BckProcEvts I created a background processing event Z_MYEVENT.
3) Then created a function module that calls BP_EVENT_RAISE. When I run the fm I pass Z_MYEVENT as the Event Id parameter.
The BP_EVENT_RAISE runs without any error. sy-subrc = 0 after execution.
But my process chain wont start!! I can start it manually though.
What could be wrong ? How do I make sure that the event was actually triggered or not ? my "Event History" tab in SM62 does not list any events - does this mean that the event was not at all raised ?
any help would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
rithesh

Hi,
I did try triggering the event manually in SM64. But no luck!
Now I did the following:
Created another program ( Z_CHAIN_START) that calls "RSPC_API_CHAIN_START" to start the process chain and this program does start the pc.
Then I scheduled this program Z_CHAIN_START in sm37 to run after the event Z_MYEVENT.
Now when I run the program that triggers the event it does work perfectly. PC gets started. That indicates the event is raised correctly.
But somehow the PC does not get triggered directly when the event is raised. Any idea what could be wrong ?
Thanks for all your replies.
