Trigger process chains using ABAP program selection screen.

Hi All
I am loading flat files through process chains. My requirment is such that i need to create a ABAP selection screen so that user can load the flat file from his PC. when the user is loading the flat file i have to copy the file onto the application server folder and then display him the monitor errors/warnings (if any). when my data load is complete i need to archive the file with time stamp onto the application server folder.
Please help me in this regard....
thanks and regards

Hi,
1. Using TA: AL11 create a folder in application server.
2. There is a program to send the flat file to application server on r/3 side.
Program Name:RC1TCG3Z.
3. Regarding archiving...I have no idea.
Regards,
Vijay.

Trigger process chain in ABAP program

Hi Experts,
We have a requirement to trigger the process chain from an ABAP program. I used the function module RSPC_API_CHAIN_START to trigger the process by passing the process chain name in 'I_CHAIN' and it worked. However, the client wants to trigger this using batch user name as few planners do not have authorization when they executed the custom transaction.
Based on the return code of the function module I am capturing the status for tracking.
Please suggest if there is any alternate solution to pass the user name while triggering a process chain in an abap program.
Thanks and Regards,
Pavithra

hi Chintai,
in bw side, you create a abap program to trigger an event in r/3,
and include this abap program in your process chain, the abap program like
CALL FUNCTION 'BP_EVENT_RAISE'
EXPORTING
eventid = 'ZRUNJOB_DEL'
and in r/3 schedule the program to delete previous data with 'after event',
the event name is same as raise by bw process chain, in this sample ZRUNJOB_DEL.
hope this helps.

Trigger Process chain using ABAP code

Hi All,
As per my knowledge there are 2 ways to trigger a process chain using ABAP code :
1) Using FM RSPC_API_CHAIN_START and passing process chain name as the parameter
2)Using FM 'BP_EVENT_RAISE' and passing process event as the parameter, which you can create using SM62 transaction.
I would like to know which one is better to use, in terms of advantage and disadvantage.
Thanks,

Fork in process chain using ABAP program

Hello everyone.
I need a fork in my chain. Depending on the values in some db table I will make a decision: do some process or skip and go further. The only solution I can see is using ABAP program. But unfortunately It doesn't return status. Any suggestion will be appreciated.

Hi,
You have few process to run after the abap program. So make all those process as a different chain, and at the end of the ABAP program include a function module to trigger this chain, based on your condition.
If you like this idea, please revert for more information.
Hope this helps.
Thank you,

How to schedule a Process Chain using ABAP Program?

Hi All,
I want to schedule the activity of extracting data from the query to a flatfile.
Currently we are schedulling it using the transaction rscrm_bapi.
I need to know , how we can achieve the same using an abap program and not ( rscrm_bapi) in a process chain.
Any help would be appreciated.
Regards
Purva

Your problem will be solved if you use the Function Module "RSPC_API_CHAIN_GET_STATUS" instead of the function module "RSPC_API_CHAIN_GET_LOG".
The function module "RSPC_API_CHAIN_GET_STATUS" gives you the STatus of the process chain, when you pass the Chain Name and the Log ID.
If you get an output
G or F - Report that the Chain is Successfully Completed.
A - The chain is Currently running
R or X - Report that the chain has ended with Errors.
Sample code :
REPORT Z_BW_GET_STATUS_PROZESSKETTE.
TABLES rspclogchain.
DATA: gt_rspclogchain LIKE rspclogchain OCCURS 0,
wa_rspclogchain LIKE rspclogchain.
DATA: gt_log LIKE rspc_s_msg OCCURS 0,
wa_log LIKE rspc_s_msg,
gt_status like RSPC_STATE.
SELECT * FROM rspclogchain
INTO CORRESPONDING FIELDS OF TABLE gt_rspclogchain
WHERE datum = sy-datum
AND chain_id = 'BD_C02_1D'.
IF sy-subrc = 0.
SORT gt_rspclogchain BY datum DESCENDING
zeit DESCENDING.
READ TABLE gt_rspclogchain
INTO wa_rspclogchain INDEX 1.
CALL FUNCTION 'RSPC_API_CHAIN_GET_STATUS'
EXPORTING
i_chain = wa_rspclogchain-chain_id
i_logid = wa_rspclogchain-log_id
IMPORTING
E_STATUS = gt_status.
IF gt_status = 'G' or gt_status = 'F'.
WRITE :/ 'BD_C02_2D chain COMPLETED'.
ELSE.
WRITE :/ 'BD_CO2_2D chain is Running or Ended with Errors'.
ENDIF.
ELSE.
WRITE :/ 'No chain BD_C02_2D started for today ! or keine Kette BD_C02_2D gestartet !'.
ENDIF.
I have just provided a sample code, you might have to edit or add necessary messages to the program.

Ramya

How-to trigger a process chain using ABAP?

Any help would be appreciated!
Thanks
Ioan

Hi Ioan,
try this in your ABAP:
    CALL FUNCTION 'BP_EVENT_RAISE'
      EXPORTING
        eventid         = 'Your Event'
        eventparm       = 'START'
        target_instance = ' '
      EXCEPTIONS
        OTHERS          = 01.
and schedule your process chain, waiting for 'Your Event'.

How to Trigger a Process Chain through ABAP Program

Hi
I have a Requirement to trigger a process Chain on 1st, 2nd and 3rd day of the month for 2 times in a Day.
Can any one give me any idea, how i can do it by writing a ABAP program and triggering the Process chain.
If anyone can share the Logic for ABAP program means, that will be helpful for me, as i dont have much expertise on writing ABAP program.
Regards,
Muruganand.K

Hi,
you can achieve this in a following way.
DATA : v_date type sy-datum,
v_day(2) type c.
v_date = sy-datum.
v_day = v_date6(2).+
if v_day = '01' or
v_day = '02" or
v_day = '03".
CALL FUNCTION RSPC_API_CHAIN_START.
pass the name of the chain to this function module.
hope this wil help.

Trigger process chain using event

Hi all,
Id 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 its 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 couldnt find any entrie, and the process chain didnt start too.
I created the event at BW and R/3 side, informed the variant with event / server in R/3, etc.
Im missing some step??
Best Regards,
Tomas

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

Server name message when triggering process chain through ABAP PROGRAM

Hi all,
When I am trying to execute one process chain with variant as a APD ( In this APD data is getting loaded form one Query to Transactional ODS.) This process chainis being executing through one ABAP program using the following code
CALL FUNCTION 'RSPC_API_CHAIN_SCHEDULE'
EXPORTING
I_CHAIN = 'XYZ'. ( Dummy Process chain name)
While executing this program I am getting following message :
You can specify the name of the application server here
on which all jobs in the chain are scheduled
If you do not specify a name, the jobs from batch
management are divided between the available servers
How to avoid this message.
Can we write any code in the above program to assign any fixed server name so that it will not ask for any server name.
Your help is much appreciated.
Thanks,
Uday.

To set delay in process chain using a program

Hi all,
We have a requirement in which the loads from nearly 15 sources (DSO) gets loaded into the Cube thro 15 process chains. The source gets loaded from the PI interface. So it might happen that simultaneously 10 loads will be started and reach the cube.
In the cube we have delete overlapping request, so its gives a deadlock when the chains try to delete the prev. request at the same time.
What we have planned is if we can write a program that will set a delay depending on the lock entries present for that particular cube. But still we are not sure how far this will help.
If anyone has faced a similar issue or can anyone suggest on this would be much appreciated.
Thanks
Merlin

I believe in each of your 15 local chains you have the load to Cube process.Why dont you take the load to the Cube out of the local chains and in the meta chain you could sequence the loads from the 15 ODSs so that you can have a parallel processing upto the ODSs ( assuming the rest of the local chain is used to fetch from R3 ) and then sequential to Cube.
I dont think writing a program will help much here.

Ending a process chain with abap program

Hello friends.
Can anyone help me please?
I have a problem with a process chain in BW.
The process chain is triggered by the MF BP_EVENT_RAISE in an custom MF. While the process chain works, the custom MF is monitoring the chain´s log.
This process chain have 2 steps: one is the initial process and the other is a ABAP program. In the abap program there are validations and if exists some error, the program abort and this job (BI_PROCESS_ABAP) is cancelled. The problem is that i have to go to the Tx. RSPC and view the logs fro this chain and in these moment ends th custom MF. In other wors, the MF ciustom ends until i go to the tx RSPC for view the logs.
I need that the program ends the process chain naturally.
Thanks for your help.
Regards.

Hi,
You can end a process chain by seeing the variant name and instance name of teh process chain from and finding its corresponding log id,type of process from the table RSPCPROCESSLOG and then executing the standard FM RSPC_PROCESS_FINISH. Here you will have to give the log id,type of process ,vairant name and instance name alongwith the status of the process chain as R to end the process chains.
If you want to aurtomate it you can do that by creating a Z program which will read LOG ID and teh TYPE of process from table RSPCPROCESSLOG on the basis of variant name and the instance name of the process chain and the execute the function module RSPC_PROCESS_FINISH from inside the program.
