Repeat a process step in a process chain automatically after error?

[Former Member]

Hi Folks,

I got a process chain with selective deletion. From time to time the selective deletion "fails" as another load is running and a lock cannot be set.

In this situation I would like to re-try 5 min later. How do I set this up? Do I need another ABAP prg. process variant (as I can't insert the same again) and connect this with the "unsuccesful" link + debug loop 350 sec?

Or is there any other / better way to accomplish this?

Thanks and best regards,

Axel

Hi Axel,

Here you have few more ways to accomplish the requirement mentioned by you.

1) You can write an ABAP to check if the loads are running in the target and then only start the selective deletion once the load is completed.

2) You can also include the loading step which loads the data to the target in the chain before the selective deletion step. Link the steps in such a way that whenever the load is successful, then only selective deletion can start.

3) You can also try including the process for running the load to the target. Create an event which will be raised once the load is complete. And this event can be captured in the other chain where selective deletion is required.

Thanks
