Closing Requests Using Process ChainsLocate this document in the navigation structure

Context

When you transfer data using a Web service or real-time data acquisition (using a SAPI, Web Service and operational data provisioning), the InfoPackage requests (PSA requests) or data transfer processes (DTP requests) remain open across several load processes. The requests are closed when the specified threshold values - set in the InfoPackage or for operational data provisioning (ODP) in the data transfer process - are reached, and new requests are opened with which the data transfer is continued. With process type Close Real-Time InfoPackage Request, you can close an open request before the threshold values are reached.

This means that you can use a Web service to send data to the PSA in BW and then use the standard scheduling process to update it further.

You can also close requests in this way to perform regular analyses at set times on an InfoProvider that is downstream from the InfoProvider that you are using for real-time data acquisition.

Procedure


  1. In the process chain, choose process type Close Real-Time InfoPackage Request.

  2. On the next screen, enter a technical name for the process variant and choose Create.

  3. On the next screen, enter a description for the process variant and choose Continue.

    The maintenance screen for process variants appears.

  4. In the table, use the input help to select the InfoPackage or data transfer processes for which you want to close a request.

  5. Choose Save and go back.

    Note

    In order to avoid a negative impact on performance, do not schedule this process for more than once an hour. If you schedule the process more frequently, the system might generate a large number of requests, which can affect performance.

Results

The following applies for data transfer using Web Service or Service API: when the process chain is run, the system closes the PSA request, as well as the DTP and activation request (if applicable).

The following applies for data transfer using ODP: when the process chain is run, the system closes the DTP request and the activation request (if applicable).
