How to connect two process chains

[Former Member]

Hi All,

I created different process chains to load basic data, transactional data.... now I want to connect these process chains, so they run one after another at night.

I tried to connect them using the "AND" process type, but then one chain is deleted and different steps get errors and so on...

Is this the right way to connect process chains or how do I need to go on?

Thanks in advance!

I have around 12-13 local chains in my Meta Chain..its a scenario every bwer faces so don't worry.

Standard way of doing is creating a Meta Chain.Now here you have to take care of dependencies between infoproviders as well.

Lets say chain A is loading Master Data to some DSOs which are used as look up in Chain B.Then definately the loading of CHain A should happen first then Chain B on the success of Chain A.(in the joining of the two local chains you can select success or failure.)

NOw step by step already dear frnd mentioned but I am mentioning it from my end..just if he has missed anything.:

1.Go to RSPC.

2.Now open the first chain which you want to add in the single meta chain.Right click on its start variant and change the option start by Metachain/API and save it.

Do the sam with the second chain you want to add to the Metachain.

3.Now click on create(F5) for new chain.

4.Create start variant give some name and start immediately or whatever(periodic or event whatever you want).

5.NOw Click on the Process Types button on left hand side..

and select the node GENERAL SERVICES and under that LOCAL PROCESS CHAIN .double click it and select the name of the first chain you want in your metachain.

6.Now similarily select the next local chain .and join them by Success condition(ie the second chain will run only if first chain is successful)

save and activate it.

Let us know if you have any issues.

You can follow the foll procedure.

Create one more chain (META) and include the two chains one after the other as local chains.

The steps would be.

1) Create a new chain and create a varaint for the same.

2) Now from the process types goto general services -> local process chain.

3) give the master load process chain name.

4) then one more time do the same and give transcatin process chain name.

5) connect start variant to 1st rocess chain and 1st process chain to the 2nd.
