Use

In the plan and check views of process chain maintenance, you can display a table overview which shows how the process types are configured. You can also apply this configuration to process types you have implemented yourself. Choose Settings   Maintain Process Types.

Features

You specify the following information in process type maintenance:

Field

What You Need to Know

Process Type

Specifies the technical name of the process type.

Short Description

 

Long Description

 

Class/Interface

Specifies the class in which the interfaces that are required for this process type are implemented.

Type of Object

ABAP OO class

Possible Events

Possible events that can be triggered after the process run:

·        Process finished “successfully” or “with errors“

·        Process finished, status unspecified

·        Process is always the last process in a chain

·        Process finished with complex status

You use this setting to control the process run on the basis of a logic with multiple values. You can define flexible process paths on the basis of multi-value decisions for predecessor processes that end successfully. The process type has to implement interface IF_RSPC_MULTI_EVENT.

If you want to link this process to a successor process, you can select from the valid end statuses for a process that finished successfully.

+ (Symbol)

Symbol that represents the process type in process chain maintenance.

GUID

The variant name is determined internally and is not determined in variant maintenance.

No Mail

Process chain mail service is not being used because the process type has implemented its own mail handling.

Process Category

Group of process types in process chain maintenance.

No.

Number for the position within the process category at which the process type is displayed in process chain maintenance.

Documentation Type

Documentation type for connecting documentation to the process type.

Docu Object

Documentation object for connecting documentation to the process type.

BW Only

Restricts a process type so that it can only be used in the BI standard client. In this case, the process type is not shown in the selection list in process chain maintenance when you use non-BI clients. The system highlights the corresponding processes as having errors when it checks the process chain.
