How to include function module in process chain

[former_member184624]

Dear BW Experts,

As per the requirement, I want to create a process chain, where if any issue happens in source system, it has to delete the delta Init and reload. As i checked in scn, i found one function module RSS2_DELETE_INITSEL_OLTP to delete the Init. Can you please guide me, how to use this function module in Process chain. We can include program in process chain, but how to use function module in process chain. Please suggest. It will be great, if you provide sample program from the function module, so that, i can use the program in process chain.

Thanks.

The function module RSS2_DELETE_INITSEL_OLTP has the status "Not Released", meaning that it is not supported nor it is recommended to use it in custom programs. Beside this doing such things from custom ABAP programs can make irreperable inconsistencies.

I think, that it would not make sense to delete the delta initialization whenever there is an error in the source system. Imagine that you load the init, and then suddenly 6 months later there is an error in the source. Why would you want to remove the delta init when you can simply restart the delta infopackage do request the failed delta again?

Hi Jalina,

To use a function module in a process chain, you can create a program that executes the function module.

Create a new program with following code:

CALL FUNCTION 'RSS2_DELETE_INITSEL_OLTP'.
