Creating Process Chains for DSO

A process chain is a sequence ofprocesses that are scheduled to wait in the background for anevent. Some of these processes trigger a separate event that can, in turn, start other processes.It looks similar to a flow chart. You define the list of Infopackages / DTPs that is needed to loadthe data, say delta or Full load. Then you schedule the Process chain 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 the procedure 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 2: Give the Start process name and description and click on Enter

Note: Each process chain should start with a Start Process

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. Clickon Change Selections

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.
