Displays the technical attributes of the process chain:

  • when and by whom it was last changed
  • when and by whom it was last activated
  • object directory entry

Polling Flag

With this indicator you can control the behavior of the main process when you have distributed processes. Distributed processes, such as the loading process, are characterized as having different work processes involved in specific tasks.

With the polling flag you determine whether the main process needs to be kept as long as the actual process has ended.

Note

By selecting the indicator,
    • a high level of process security is guaranteed, and
    • external scheduling tools can be provided with the status of the distributed processes.

However, the resource use of the system is increased and a background process is more necessary.

Monitoring

With the indicator in the dialog box Remove Chain from Automatic Monitoring?, you can specify that a process chain be removed from the automatic monitoring with CCMS.

The automatic process chain monitoring is switched on with CCMS by default.

You can find additional information about the CCMS context Process Chains in the section BW Monitor in CCMS.
