Schedule of BPC DM package link

[SreekanthSurampally]

Hi,

Currently we are using BPC 10.0 netweaver version in our landscape, BPC adminstrator runs a DM package link ( consists of Clear, load etc.) after the required data has been loaded from ECC --> BW,

the process chain to load ECC --> BW completes over the night,  DM package link will be executed in the morning manually by BPC team, in order to avoid this delay, we thought of kicking off the DM package link as soon as the BW process chain is finished.

I am wondering, is there any way to do this?   

if BPC team is executing only a specific DM package, then I can take the Process chain used for that DM package and connect with BW process chain by adding in the end,  but here it is a DM package link, I am not sure, how do I relate this?  Please give me your thoughts on this,

Hi Vadim,  the program is very promising..  I am tyring to set up the variant for this program, 'answer link' parameter is quite not understandable, I will figure out and update you when I get throught with this.

Thank you very much.

I got stuck at providing the 'answer link' parameter,   I was going through one of the document of SAP document to kick up DM package from BW,  UJD_TEST_PACKAGE in that, a procedure is given to provide the variable and it's values in a note pad and upload that to 'answer' parameter,

but in my case, I am triggering the DM package link, which contain several DM packages with parameters, how do I prepare the notepad for this?

Hi Sreekanth,

you can use UJD_TEST_PACKAGE_LINK program to automate the loading process.

you'll need the package link ID's for this and you can get these package link ID's, go to SE16 enter table name as UJD_LINK_LOG

Copy LINK ID for respective result ( its unique ID with length of 25chars).

Thanks.

Use Package link without parameters

And please search the forum and notes for UJD_TEST_PACKAGE_LINK

You can schedule Data Manager Package or Data Manager Package Link as well to avoid the BPC admin having to manually execute the package link.

You can include BW Process Chain in same DM Package Link. Just create a DM Package based on TRIGGER_BW_CHAIN and include it as the 1st Package in the Link.

Hi Gersh,  that is a good option, but there is another DM package link in ohter environment. I can't add the BW process chain in 2 envionments DM, because it will run 2 times, which we do not want to happen.

So, I am thinking that, is there any way to trigger BPC DM Package link from BW or  setting up an event in BPC which can check the status of BW chain completion and trigger the package link,

@Hendry,  I would like to schedule the DM package link, but what time, is the question?  it has be exactly after completion of BW process chain, so how do I schedule it?

Yes, you can make BPC Package (Link) to wait on an event.

Schedule it somewhere in the future; this will create a job in SM36. Find that job there and change start conditions from preset time to "After Event".
