Scheduling Process Chains

Operations can be displayed in your BW system via process chains. A chain includes a start process, individual application processes and collected processes. Including InfoPackages is also possible.

AE can be used to start and monitor process chains. The individual processes are then displayed in the UserInterface's Activity Window. Process logs are stored in the report of the AE Job object.
