Process chain started by event

[Former Member]

Hi experts

I have a similar requirement as described in this blog:

http://scn.sap.com/thread/2091800

Process chain must be started between 08:00 and 16:00 on an hourly based period.

We have not understood how to schedule the event which is in the start variant of the process chain:

How do we trigger the process chain every hour in the daily time frame?

Thanks

Hi Dee

This means, I don't need the event base in the start variant, correct?

Thx

No you don't need to..

Hi,

can you try the below options it will run every day 2 times - for this no need for any logic.

othere you can use the infopacakge level event trigger.

Thanks,

Phani.

Hi Thomas,

As Deepinder said, just use the DECISION BETWEEN MULTIPLE ALTERNATIVES to satisfy your requirement..

Just add that object in your chain and create the formula below:

Afterwards, schedule your chain to run HOURLY:

The result will be, chain will run every hour but will get an error if the time is not between 08:00:00 and 16:00:00..

Hi Loed/ Thomas,

To get rid of the error, you can point this to a dummy program that does nothing (which can end if the condition is not true).

Now you are set to go and this is much more easier way to achieve your requirement.

Hope it helps.

Cheers!

Hi Thomas,

Can you post your process chain? In what process did the error occur?

Hey Thomas,

Is the server time in-sync with the system time? (that is, between 8:30 and 6:30)

It starts every hour.

Hi Thomas,

Yeah..But when you tried to run this chain, what time did you start it? Is it 13:00?

Because if you started it at 13:00, I can't see any problem with your configuration..It should not give any error..
