Trigger process chain using event

Question

Hi all,
I’d like to know if someone ever faced this kind of situation.
I have a process in R/3 and it must run every day, and when it’s finished I have to start a process chain in BW.
I thought to do this using events. So, I created a Job that executes this process and added a step( an ABAP program ) that generates an event in a target system, BW.
The program is this one:
PARAMETERS:
    p_eventi   TYPE btceventid,
    p_eventp   TYPE btcevtparm,
    p_server   TYPE btcserver.
Obligatory parameter: EventID.
EventID should be an existing event already defined in transaction
SM64 or using CREATE method of class CL_BATCH_EVENT:
p_eventi   = 'SAP_TEST'.
Optional parameters: event parameter and target server.
p_eventp = 'Event parameter'.
p_server    = ''.
  CALL METHOD cl_batch_event=>raise
    EXPORTING
      i_eventparm                    = p_eventp
      i_server                       = p_server
      i_eventid                      = p_eventi
    EXCEPTIONS
      excpt_raise_failed             = 1
      excpt_server_accepts_no_events = 2
      excpt_raise_forbidden          = 3
      excpt_unknown_event            = 4
      excpt_no_authority             = 5
      OTHERS                         = 6.
  CASE sy-subrc.
    WHEN 0.
      EXIT.
    WHEN 1 OR 2 OR 3.
Raise failed.
    WHEN 4.
Event does not exist.
    WHEN OTHERS.
Raised failed due to unknown reason.
  ENDCASE.
The execution of the job appears to be OK, but I checked the log at SM62 and couldn’t find any entrie, and the process chain didn’t start too.
I created the event at BW and R/3 side,  informed the variant with event / server in R/3, etc.
I’m missing some step??
Best Regards,
Tomas

Answer 1

This is what this note does.  From R/3, it will trigger an event in BW.

Hope this helps.
