Process Chains - Start an S/4 job only after successful completion of IBP Application Job Template

[vincentverheyen]

Hi,

The context here is to try and schedule an S4 job only upon successful completion of an IBP job. Is this possible within the "Processes" of IBP itself?

Alternatively, is this possible from the standard S/4 HANA CLOUD or BW/4HANA Process Chains (RSPC)? Perhaps utilize CI-DS? Or is an external scheduling tool such as Redwood always needed?

Kind regards,
V.

Best imho is always to use an external scheduler, simply because there you can configure more complex rules and error handling than in the sequencial execution of IBP application jobs. CI-DS and IBP offer an external API for schedulers, so it should be not too complex to connect whatever tool. Even BW process chains should be able to connect with some additional effort creating a proxy-report to communicate with CI-DS / IBP.

Note 2503171 will help for the IBP interface.

Kind regards
Harry
