Execute Function

Generally, you configure and execute functions using the SAP Profitability and Performance Management Web Dynpro UI.

However, if you want to schedule a function in batch mode, run transaction /NXI/P1_FW_RUN - Run Function. You can also use this report if you want to execute a function from an external system.

To trigger the report in the background, choose the menu option Execute in Background under Start of the navigation pathMore Next navigation step ProgramEnd of the navigation path.

In the selection screen, you need to provide the following details:

  • Environment

  • Version

  • Function or Process/Activity: For the execution run status of an activity to be reflected in the My Activities application, you need to specify the process as well as the activity. When you provide the process, selections and parameters maintained for that process are considered automatically.

  • Run ID (optional): Fill in this field only if you want to provide an external run ID.

  • Package (optional): Fill in this field only if you want to provide an external package ID.

  • Package Parameter (optional): Fill in this field only if you want to provide parameters from an external call. You can only use parameters registered in the calculation unit of the environment version. The semicolon is used as a separator. The expected format is: <first_parameter_field>=<first_parameter_value>;<second_parameter_field>=<second_parameter_value>...
  • Package Selection (optional): Fill in this field only if you want to provide selections from an external call. You can only use selection fields registered as process selection fields in the calculation unit of the environment version or package selection fields registered in the function attributes of a function. The semicolon is used as a separator. The expected format is: <first_sel_field>=(<first_sel_field>=<first_sel_value>);<second_sel_field>=(<second_sel_field>=<second_sel_value>)...

  • Synchronous Execution: Mark this checkbox if you want to execute the function synchronously (trigger and wait until it finishes). Unmark it if you want to execute the function asynchronously (trigger and not wait for it to finish and continue to the next step).
