If you remove a process chain from the scheduling, the jobs scheduled in the process chain are deleted, as are all other jobs BI_PROCESS_* that are not scheduled in another chain. Note: Do not define jobs with the name  BI_PROCESS_* yourself.

BIDTPR

Data transfer process

BI_ARCH

BI_RDA_<daemon number>

Real-Time Data Acquisition

BI_COPY

Using the prefix BI_<XXXX> for a job you defined yourself can lead to the system deleting this job. For this reason, for jobs you define yourself, choose a name that starts with a different string.

Tip

Possible consequences of using a job prefix that is reserved for BW internal processes:

Jobs with the prefix BI_BTCH are used by the BW system for requests for the InfoPackage. The Scheduler checks jobs with this prefix to see whether they are valid InfoPackage jobs or not. The jobs are deleted if they are not InfoPackage jobs.
