Execute Process chain in loop

[former_member200211]

Hi,

I have process chain created and my requirement is to trigger the process chain multiple times.

I have created one event and used this event to be called by FM 'BP_EVENT_RAISE'. This FM is called in the program as last step in process chain.

The issue is when i schedule the process chain with immediate option in direct scheduling, it executes the process chain only once and does not re-excute the chain even though the condition required statisfies.

Please let me know if any step is missing.

Hello Lavanya,

the solution to your problem is not difficult.

The process you want to execute I has to be in a separate chain: 'X'.

Now create 2 new chains: 'A' and 'B'.

Chain A will have

START-EVENT

EXECUTE SUBCHAIN X

TRIGGER CHAIN B

Chain B will have

START-EVENT

EXECUTE SUBCHAIN X

TRIGGER CHAIN A

I have used this trick a lot in the past so I know it works fine.

Have fun,

Hi Lavanya,

As said above, check if the check box 'periodic job' is selected while scheduling the process chain.

Whille scheduling with 'Immediate' option, select Periodic Job option and try.

hi Narasa,

Thanks for the helpful answer.

In the start variant of PC, I have used the After Event option and selected Periodic, this helped to trigger the chain the second time when the condition in the last step of program satisfies.

Now the issue is, when PC completes first time, the chian is triggered again and it runs second time, now even before the chain completes, the chain is again triggered for third time...

can you please tell me the cause of this,

Hi Lavanya,

Use 'Check if previous run is active' process type in the process chain after the 'start' process type.
