Business Integration

In the Periodic Process Chain Monitoring screen (transaction RSPCM), choose the process chains that you want to monitor. The app for process chain monitoring only displays the process chains that you previously added to your user-specific list in transaction RSPCM. If you have not selected any process chains, the app displays an error message.
