Someone knows PREDECESSOR_PARAMETER in DECISION process type???

HI
Today is my day of questions so here hopefully the last on....
Die anybody know the formula parameter "PREDECESSOR_PARAMETER" that can be used in the DECISION process type?
Google and sdn search provide exactly 2 results with this information:
<i>
PREDECESSOR _ PARAMETER: Runtime parameter of direct predecessor</i>
According to the familia editor the parameter is to be used as follows:
  PREDECESSOR _ PARAMETER(<I_FIELDNAME>,<I_LOW_OR_HIGH>,<I_NUMBER_OF_VALUE>)
Now I am trying to figure out how to set parameters in a ABAP program running before the decision step and then using them in order to decide on the subsequent step.
Does anybody have an idea on that topic?
The topic might also be interesting for an sdn BLOG.....

Minima

Hi ,

Thx,

  • How to use PREDECESSOR_PARAMETER in DECISION process type?

    HI Guys,
    I have a process chain where I need to use a decision process type and before it I have an abap program process type, so I have to get the result of my process type predecessor (Abap program process type) and fill in my decision process type to make a decision.
    I have a look on PREDECESSOR_PARAMETER on DECISION process type but I don't understand how I can use it.
    Now I am trying to figure out how to set parameters in a ABAP program running before the decision step and then using them in order to decide on the subsequent step.
    Does anybody have an idea?
    Thanks,

  • Error in Decision Process Type Transport ( process chain)

    Hi,
    I have used a decision process type in my process chain and hence used the BW formula builder to create the logic for the "if then else" conditions of the decision process type. I have collected the process chain with all the required components like the process chain, the start process type, the decision process type and the corresponding formulas.
    The trasnport went in fine with a warning (return code 4), but the formulas didn't get transported. The transport log reads like "An error occurred when deleting formula XYZ version A" at the RS_RSFO_AFTER_IMPORT.  The overall status is a 4 and even though the log reads like "An error" it is in yellow indicating that it is just a warning.
    I checked in target system ..other objects are transported except for the formulas. The table RSAFORMMAP doesn't contain any record for the formula ID XYZ in the target system whereas the sender system has corresponding entries.
    Transport requests are colleceted properly.. i able to see formula ID , all object table in TR. but stll its not moving to target system..
    what will be the issue?

  • Processing type change - for manual bank statement

    hi viewers,
    while am upoloading manual bankstatement if i keep the processing type 1 or 2 - i.e batchinput, the statement gets uploading correctly. but if i keep processing type 3 or 4 all iteams r not getting posting and showing as wrong values in FEBA. but my client wants to follow with 3 or 4 processsing type only. (since he wants to view wrong & correct postings in FEBA) for this is it need any customization. pls let me know
    Rgds
    swathi

    Hello,
    In processing types 1 and 2 postings are not going to happened. The batch is only going to be generated and it is required to post them by going to SM35.
    In case of 1 - You can see what is proposed to be posted (a summary) and generates a batch to post through SM35
    In case of 2 - A batch input session will be created to post through SM35.
    In case of 3 - The posting is going to be happened in background
    In case of 4 - The posting is going to be happened Online.
    If you can create a batch in 1 and try to post them by using SM35 in FOREGROUND, then only you will come to know what are the error it is giving while posting.
    Accordingly you can correct the errors.

  • Decision between multiple alternatives process type

    Hi All,
    I want to use this process type "decision between multiple alternatives" in one of my process chains, but i want use this process type if the DELTA infopackage pulls ZERO records, skip the next process and more than ZERO records continue the process.
    Please suggest me is it possible anyway.
    Thanks a lot in advance.
    Regards,
    Ravi Kanth

    Hi,
    You can't do it with Decision type process as the conditions allowed are standard System conditions. As Suggested above, you need a code before that. The logic can be sketched as :
    1. Load the provider.
    2. Obtain the latest request in the provider.
    3. Get the data from the request (std SAP prog is available for reading from providers).
    4. Raise error upon getting no data (in this case you need to put the steps to be skipped in another chain and use in the main chain as meta chain).

  • Before purchasing Elements 12, I would like to know if it will process RAW images from an Olympus OMD-EM1.  Can someone advise?  or tell me how to find out?

    Before purchasing Elements 12 I need to know whether it will process RAW images from an Olympus OMD-EM1.  Can someone advise or tell me how I can find out?

    Hi,
    This document defines the supported cameras
    Camera Raw plug-in | Supported cameras
    According to that, the OM-D E-M1 is supported by Camera Raw 8.3 which is compatible with Photoshop Elements 12. You should try the trial download first to make sure you are happy with it.
    Once you have downloaded and installed the trial version you will need to go to the help menu and select Updates..
    If you decide to buy it, you can convert the trial version to the full version by supplying the new serial number.
    I would avoid the Mac App version and don't get the upgrade version unless you have an older version.
    Good luck

  • Process Types in Process Chains - Loading - Repeatable/repairable

    Hi,
    I know SAP recommends that we do not change the properties of the Process Types for Process Chains. I want to know if any one has ever changed the property of "LOADING" process type to "repeatable" or "repairable". We are keen to change this attribute of "LOADING" process to repeatable. Any experiences, good or bad, would be highly useful to us to take a decision and would be highly appreciated.
    regards
    Uday

    Hi Simon,
    So far, I have not come across any documents that explain the difference between the two options. But, I believe the 'repairable" would start from where it has stopped in the program calles, while "repeatable" will restart the current job (not the whole process chain) from the start. Please remember to post it here, if you ever come across any documentation on these options.

  • CHAIN: custom process type: EVENT: complex status: bad planned jobs

    Hi experts,
    I've implemented a custom process type (in RSPC/Settings/MaintainProcess) called ZWX_COND.
    The main properties of ZWX_COND are: "ZCL_RSPC_DECISION" as ObjectTypeName, "00 ABAP Class" as ObjectType and "(Scheduled) processs ends with complex status" as PossibleEvents.
    Class ZCL_RSPC_DECISION is a copy of the standar one CL_RSPC_DECISION. I've only made the necessary changes in methods GET_EVENTS and GET_EVENT (I only need two events) and EXECUTE (to choose one of the two events depending on a customized table).
    I've made a main process chain with that new type (a decision step). I've connected that step with the process chain "A" for case ‘01’ and with the process chain "B" for case ‘02’. I've verified the main process chain and all is correct.
    Once I've activated and planned the main process chain, un unknown job BI_PROCESS_CHAIN appears. In addition, although the decision step ends correctly (green color) and the event RSPROCESS with parameter XXXX_02 is triggered (it's correct, since it's indicated in that way in the customized table), process chain "B" doesn't start. In fact, neither process chain "A" nor process chain "B" starts. Both process chains remain in yellow color, but the corresponding jobs are not activated or finished, they are just released.
    I see that the start condition (event parameter) for the planned jobs corresponding to process chains "A" and "B" is incorrect, since it is XXXX in both cases. I think the condition must be XXXX_01 for process chain "A" and XXXX_02 for process chain "B".
    I'd like to implement this process type because I want the process to end with a green status. If I use a custom process type with events "succesfull" or "incorrect", I can make the decision and the chain process works, but the process chain ends with red status when the event triggered is the "incorrect" one.
    Please, could somebody help me? I don't know if it's a program error or I'm implementing it in the wrong way.
    Thanks in advance,
    César Rueda

  • SAP BPC Custom Process Type - passing parameters

    Hi,
    I wish to create a custom process type with custom parameters which can be populated from the Data Manager package execution. I went thru the tutorial by Rich mentioned [here|http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/b0427318-5ffb-2b10-9cac-96ec44c73c11]. But because of access issues, I cannot install the classes on my system using the .BPC files.
    Can someone please guide me as to how I can use custom parameters in my process type? So far, I have tried adding the parameter but haven't been successful:
    1) Created a class ZCL_UJD_BPC_TEST (with superclass CL_UJD_ACTOR) and populated all the methods for this class.
    2) Created a class ZCL_UJD_TEST and created a constructor and PROCESS method. Here I tried to read the parameter XXXXXX.
    3) Added the ZBPCTEST process type in RSPC
    4) Created a custom process chain with a custom variant /CPMB/ZYYYYYY for the ZBPCTEST process type.
    5) Created the DM package and passed value to the parameter XXXXXX using dynamic script.
    However, I get the error "Cannot configure the parameter XXXXX in task YYYYYYYY".
    Thanks,
    Shailesh Kamath.

    Hi Shailesh,
    Did u solve this, we also implemented same in BPC 7.5 NW but after migration many methods become obselete,please let me know how you approached.

    Yes, many know what this means.  You can too.  Just type in "error 1004" in the search box at the top of this page.  Or, just look to the right.  You'll find many links in the "More Like This" box.

  • BI custom process type (ABAP OO Class): how to create a variant screen?

    I created a custom process type in Netweaver 2004s (business intelligence) which in essence is nothing but an Abap class that implements certain interfaces. What I am now struggling with is how to write the code for the "new variant" input screen.
    My understanding is that the logic has to be implemented in the method IF_RSPC_MAINTAIN~MAINTAIN, but I am lacking detailed information.
    Can someone give me an example with a variant screen that displays two radio buttons?
    Thank you,
    D.

    It is a custom class that implements the following interfaces:
    IF_RSPC_GET_VARIANT
    IF_RSPC_MAINTAIN
    IF_RSPC_EXECUTE
    The interface I am struggling with is the first one (get variant). Any more insight on how this should be used would be highly appreciated.
    Thanks!

  • Email Alert for Process Chain for ABAP Process Type

    Hi BW Experts,
                             I created a process chain based on ABAP Process Type ( for Broadcasting rsrd_broadcast_starter). I want to add alert message for each ABAP process if it is failed. But I cant see any option showing Successfull or Error or Always when I select create message option on the process type. How ever I can see for other process chain which is loading data (Process Type is Info Package ) from SAP into BW.
                             Please some one tell me why it is not showing alert message for ABAP Process Type.
    Thanks
    Ganesh Reddy.
    Edited by: Ganesh Reddy on Jul 13, 2009 10:16 PM

    I dont have the exact answer for your question, But as a work around i can suggest you that.
    If these ABAP programs are included in a chain and this local chain is a part of meta chain then you can create a message on the local chain.By right clicking on the local chain >Create Message>Success
                                                                                    --->Failure
    >Always
    Hope this resolves the problem tempervorly.I will get back to you once i have
    Or the permanent solution is
    Its big and also easy method to perform, by this you will be able to get all the options for a ABAP Program also.If you have any questions please let me know.

  • Inbound delivery creation in WM - mapping to process type 1011 in EWM

    Hi All,
    I am new to EWM and have to configure handling units for picking and putaway in EWM.
    I am creating an inbound delivery w.r.t Purchase order in WM and passing it to EWM.  During the warehouse order creation I am packing the materials in a packing material. however, the warehouse process type is 1010 and I want it to relflect 1011.
    So I wanted to know how to configure the system either on the WM or the EWM side so that when the inbound delivery is received on the EWM side it maps it to process 1011.
    Arup

    Hi,
    To put across my question more clearly here is where I am right now. I pass the delivery to the EWM side. There I pack the materials. There is a HU association with the packing material.
    When I go to the screen with the follow on functions- warehouse task. Then when I choose the handling unit tab and click on the exectute button associated with the Whouse Req then there should be a Line item displaying the handling unit that was created in the previous step.
    However this is not happening and when I click on the execute button the line item does not show up.
    So I was wondering if there is some configuration that needs to be done to get the HU displayed?

  • My logic board has failed, and I'm having to buy an external hard drive. Can someone walk me through thr process of how to do this?

    My logic board failed, and I need to buy an external hard drive. Can someone walk me through the process of doing this? Will the Genius Bar do it for free?
    Also, I have a borrowed Mac right now. If I put the new hard drive on this computer will it erase the computer's current hard drive? Do I have to put the hard drive on another Mac?
    Any help is greatly appreciated!

    if your logic board failed then connecting an ext. drive will be non productive.
    if you take your hdd out of the failed mac and replace it into the borrowed mac you can then extract everything from that hdd. simply connect the external hdd, go into time machine preferences select your new ext. drive as the destination.
    the external drive has to be formatted to mac os extended journaled. however you can purchase ext. drives already formatted for mac.
    if you are having the logic board replaced then just put the old hdd back in, it will boot up normally.
    you can rest easy knowing that if anything goes wrong, you have the ability to use your fresh backup to produce the same operating environment that you were using before things went wrong.
