Processing data in parallel tasks

[Former Member]

Hi all,

I have a question about parallel processing via RFC. When we process data in parallel processes using asynchron RFC calls, is it possible to stop processing of remaining tasks if an eoor in one of the tasks occur. For example, if we start 20 tasks and an error occurs at task 3, is it possible to stop processing of all remaining tasks?

Kind Regards,

Hello Suekrue

If the jobs start running simultaneously at the same time

you can't stop one job if other fails. However if some jobs start running after other you can catch exceptions and depending on that program in such a manner that if one job fails subsequent job is not triggered.

Award points if found useful.

Thanks

I assume that you could set a flag in the shared buffer and be checking this flag in the RFC. If something occurs during one instance of the RFC, set the flag in the shared buffer, the rest of the instances of the RFC can abort next time the flag is checked. Make sense?

Check the keywords IMPORT/EXPORT for syntax of the shared buffer.

The Work process in parallel processing operate independently. If one task errors out it's not possible to stop other tasks.

Hi all,

Thank you for your answers. Rich's answer seems to be reasonable, but since I am calling a function module of which coding I can not change(to program a wrapper FM also is not possible ) it is not possible for me to check a flag in the shared buffer. The data set in shared buffer is set on an application server, and if the RFC calls run on another application server, it does not make sense to check the flag.

Kind Regards,

Hi,

By using 'WAIT' and 'RECEIVE' keywords we can interact with other RFC calls in parallel processing.

Refer following docs.

Hi !

You may think about the following...

You could set an enqueue of a Z... (Custom) object and check that enqueue in your RFC-Called functions.

If it is set you could exit them.

Is is, of course, not standard an has to be coded by yourself.

Some points would be nice if that helped a bit.
