ABAP/4 function failure. RSPC_API_CHAIN_START failed error

[michelle_lim2]

Hi expert,

We are trying to schedule a process chain through auto scheduling. However the process chain is not able to kick off from auto scheduling and it's failing with the below error. Direct scheduling in SAP BW works fine for this process chain. How do you resolve issue like this? Any advice and inputs are welcome.

Hello Michelle Lim,

When you execute the mentioned FM, it will ask for inputs like RFC target system, I_CHAIN, I_SYNC, can you share these details, what you have given?, and also you have mentioned about auto scheduling, how this process has initiated? created a program by using this Function Module and saved input values in any variants ?

Regards,

Raj

I am able to trigger the process chain successfully with FM RSPC_API_CHAIN_START in SAP BW. But we're trying to put auto scheduling (through Autosys) for this process chain to run at specific time, and it fails whenever we kick start the job from Autosys.
