 Creating Process Chains for DSO

By Sandhya Punuru, Perot Systems

A process chain is a sequence of processes that are scheduled to wait in the background for an event. Some of theseprocesses trigger a separate event that can, in turn, start other processes. It looks similar to a flow chart. You definethe list of Infopackages / DTPs that is needed to load the data, say delta or Full load. Then you schedule the Processchain as hourly, daily, monthly, etc, depending on the requirement

Use: If you want to automatically load and schedule a hierarchy, you can include this as an application process in theprocedure for a Process Chain 

Note: Before you define process chains, you need to have the Objects ready i.e DSO, Cubes etc

Steps to Create Process Chains 

Step 1: Go to RSPC transaction. Click on Create. Give Process chain name and Description.

Step 2: Give the Start process name and description and click on Enter

Note: Each process chain should start with a Start Process 

Step 3: The next screen will show the Scheduling options.

There are two options:

1.  Direct Scheduling:

2.  Start Using Meta Chain or API

In my example I have chosen Direct Scheduling as I am processing only one chain i.e DSO. Click on “ChangeSelections”

In the below screen shot, you can give the scheduling details i.e the Immediate, Date& time etc. and click on SAVE 

The Screen shot below indicates that we have started the process.

Step 4:

1.  Click on the icon process types as shown in the below figure. You will get a list of options.

2.  In my example I am scheduling for DSO. To process we need to have InfoPackage, DTP’s for thecorresponding DSO

3.  Open the tree Load Process and Post Processing, We need to drag and drop “Execute InfoPackage” 

Step 5: Once you drag and drop the “Execute infopackage” we get the below Popup. We need to keyin theInfopackage name. To do this click on F4 and chose your Infopackage and click on ENTER

Step 5: Once you drag & drop the InfoPackage, the corresponding DTP’s and the corresponding Active Data table areautomatically called.

Step 6: Save + Activate and Execute the Process.

Step 7: Once the process is completed, we can see the whole chain converted to Green, Which indicates the processis successfully completed

Note: Incase of errors in any step, the particular chain will be displayed in red

Step 8: We can see if the data is successfully updated by Right-click on the Datastore Data

Step 9: On selecting Administer Data Target, will lead you to InfoProvider Administration.

Step 10: Click on “Active Data” tab to see the data successfully uploaded.

Note: 

1.  Similarly the process can be done for Cubes, Master data and Transactional data

2.  When you create Process chains, by default they are stored in “Not Assigned”. If you want to create your ownfolders,

a) Click on the icon “Display Components” on your toolbar => choose F4 => Create

b. Give appropriate name for the folder => Enter

c. SAVE + ACTIVATE
