Process chain started by event

[#1]

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 Ganesh

You wrote:

Here you can mention cancel job after X run also.

suppose you want to execute infopackage for 5 days then you should maintain 5.

Where do you set the "cancel" information in infopackage?

I need to schedule on an hourly base for 8 times (between 08:00 and 16:00).

Hi Ganesh

Do you fill up the job and the subsequect process in one step?

Or do you have to run the process chain initially with the scheduled job, and thereafter create the event and modify the start variant of the process chain?
