BW Process Chain

SAP BW process chain is a sequence of processes that are scheduled to wait in the background for an event. Some of these processes can trigger a separate event that can, in turn, start other processes.

This operator has one input port (input) and two output ports (output and error). Use this operator in a graph that uses only other data workflow operators.

Connect the input port to another data workflow operator to trigger its start. On the error output port, the engine writes a message in case of errors when trying to execute the process chain. On success, the engine writes a message on the output port. If you want the execution of the graph to proceed, connect the respective output ports to other data workflow operators.

Configuration Parameters (using Connection ID)

Parameter	Type	Description
SAP BW Connection	object	Connection ID that references a connection to a remote SAP Data Hub system.
SAP BW ProcessChain ID	string	Name of the process chain to execute
Retry Interval	string	Time interval in seconds (default 20) to wait until next status update.
Retry Attempts	string	Maximum number of attempts (default 1080) to query for status update.

Configuration Parameters (manual)

If you are manually entering the connection details of the SAP BW system in which you want to execute the process chain:

Parameter	Type	Description
Host	string	Host name of the SAP BW system. For example, `host.name`.
Port	number	Port number. For example, `8090`
Protocol	string	"HTTPS" or "HTTP"
User	string	Name of the user for the authentication
Password	string	Password for authentication

Input

Input	Type	Description
`input`	string	Accepts message from a connected data workflow operator.

Output

Output	Type	Description
`output`	string	If the operator executed successfully, this port carries the success message.
`error`	string	Operator error. If the port is connected then the graph will keep running. If it is not connected, the graph will terminate with the operator error.
