- Using this we can automate all the regular BW Jobs.
- IT is sequence of jobs or services which has to be performed on a repeated bases.
- Ex. Loading Data To DSO . Activation of DSO etc.
- The Process chain Must be Designed in a sequence and it should be executed in a sequence , otherwise it cant be scheduled.
There are 3 modes for the process Chain :
- Design View --- Where we can design the process chain with a sequence.
- Checking View --- To verify the sequence of the process chain.
- Log Mode --- to verify the logs after execution.
Services Supported By Process Chain :
- General Services
- Data Loading Services ----> Schedule Info Package
----> Schedule DTP( Data Transfer Process) - Data Target Admin Services ----> Drop Indexes
----> Generate Index - Reporting Agents
- Other BW services ----> Attribute Change Run.
Start Process
And / or /Error
Local Chain
Remote Chain
1. Start Process :
Using this we can tell the system when to start the process chain and how frequently the chain should be repeated.
2. And Process :
When there are 2 or more previous jobs, if all the jobs are successful only , if you want to trigger the next job used "And Process"
Sales Info Package Delivery Info Package Billing Info package
AND
Sales Overview InfoPackage

In above Example i the customer_attr or salesdeal_attr data load is done then it triggers to attribte change run.
Exclusive first job should be successful.
Prd_attr Prd_text
ERROR
Attribute change run.
5. Local chain :
One Process Chain in BW system should trigger another process chain in BW system.
{{{Process chain 1}}} ----- Master data ------------- Trigger -----{{{Process Chain 2 -----Transaction Data Load}}}
6. Remote Chain :
{Process chain 1 ---- External BW system} ---- {{process chain2 ---- Internal BW System}}
SCM system -------------- Bw system.
Main Tcodes in Process Chain :
RSPC ------------ To Design Process Chain
RSPCM ---------- To Monitor the Chain.
