Stopping one process chain when another is running

Question

Hi All,
We have two process chains which are inter dependent.
One process chain has to be scheduled hourly & another daily.
I would like to know the way to stop the hourly running process chain when the daily process chain is running.
& the daily process chain run time will be varying like 1-2 hours.
Please help me to solve this problem

Hi,
You can do it.
1.Create one Table with Flag (Values 0 or 1), and give Table maintaince also in SM30.
2.Craeate one program to check the Table Flag = 0 or 1. If it is 0 then trigger Event then that event will trigger Hourly Process Chain. You need to schedule this Program Hourly. (Your Hourly PC wil work based on Events)
3. Craete Daily Process Chain, once it will start it will update teh Flag =1 then once it will reach the last node it will turn the flag = 0.
Start
    |
Update Flag = 1 in table (Program)
    |
Load data
    |
Update Flag = 0 in table (Program)
4. So every hour your program will run (in Step 2), it will check table Entry and trigger Event.
The code is like below
Report1.
IF Flag = 0 Then
*Raise Event
DATA: EVENTID LIKE TBTCJOB-EVENTID.
DATA: EVENTPARM LIKE TBTCJOB-EVENTPARM.
      EVENTID = 'ZEVENT1'.
      EVENTPARM = 'ZEVENTPARAM'.
  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.
ELSE
Exit
endif
Note: It will Work try it. Don't forget to give SE30 access to table, because some time if you want to maintain Flag value manually, you required it.
Thanks
Reddy
