How to identify “Parent-Child” relationship process chain details in SAP BW

How to identify “Parent-Child” relationship process chain details in SAP BW

      

1.    Introduction:


In SAP BW, we could see there will be so many dependency between master date & transaction data, between different targets. Also it’s important to deliver the report on time. In order to reduce idle time, event trigger has been implemented.Sometime, we might be struggling to identify parent chain for a child chain and vice versa. So in order to get the process chain names, here I have illustrate the procedure.This document will give you step by step instruction how to identify parent-child relationships.


2.    Tables & t-code used


  • RSPCCHAIN
  • RSPCVARIANT
  • RSPCTRIGGER


  T-Code:


  • SE16 or YCAGRID


3.    Step by Step procedure to identify the relationships:


In the below given example I have used PARENT_CHAIN_TEST chains as parent and ZZNNN_TEST & CHIL_3 as child chains.


Step 1: Go to SE16 and execute RSPCCHAIN Enter the parent chain name with TYPE as ZEVENT as mentioned below.


Filter condition:


  • CHAIN_ID
  • OBJVERS
  • TYPE


Result:


  • VARIANTE

Get the VARIANTE name from it TEST_DEMO

Step 2: Using the VARIANT name from RSPCCHAIN and put it in VARIANTE in RSPCVARIANT table Filter condition:


  • VARIANTE
  • OBJVERS
  • TYPE


Result:


  • LOW

Take LOW field value from RSPCVARIANT table.

Step 3: Go to table RSPCTRIGGER & use this LOW filed value from RSPCVARIANT table. Filter condition:


  • EVENTID
  • OBJVERS


Result:


  • VARIANTE

/wp-content/uploads/2016/05/5_954861.png


Copy the VARIANTE from this.

Step 4: Go to table RSPCCHAIN once again & use VARIANTE filed value from RSPCTRIGGER table. Filter condition:


  • VARIANTE
  • OBJVERS


Result:


  • CHAIN_ID

Parent chain name: PARENT_CHAIN_TEST

      I think you can see easily whatever you're looking for in ST13 tcode.

      Hi Harish,

      Hope in ST13, we can list out all the process chain logs. But I don't think so we can find "which process chain will trigger which".

      If you have the procedure, it would be great if you share the details 🙂

      Hello guys,

      Great article, thanks for that.

      However I'm struggling with related problem, which wasn't explained above.

      In RSPCCHAIN table I can find the relation parent-child, but where can I find information by which the process order is defined (as it is displayed in tree view in transaction RSPC)?
