Steps to Schedule the Processing and Send Request Workflows

When you schedule the processing and send request workflows, you also enter the names of each session in the workflows. Before you start this procedure, you need to know the name of each workflow, the name of each session within the workflow, and the order that the sessions are scheduled to run.

To schedule the processing and send request workflows:

In the Workflow Manager, stop the listener workflow.

If you are editing workflows you have already scheduled, make sure that no send request or processing workflow is running before you stop the listener workflow.

In the Designer, drag the BCI_Scheduling_Target LMAPI target into the Target Designer workspace.

Open BCI_Scheduling_Target.

Click the Scheduling Information tab.

In the Indicator Table field, enter the name of the database table you created for the Indicator relational target, as explained in Creating Database Tables for PowerCenter Objects.

By default, the name is Indicator.

Delete the sample keys.

Add a new key and enter the key information.

The following table describes the key information:

Property	Description
Key	Name of the DataSource that you want to process. You can enter each DataSource only once. If you use a hierarchy DataSource, enter the key value as HIERARCHY. If you enter the key value as the DataSource name, the processing workflow for the hierarchy DataSource does not start.
Primary Workflow Name	Name of the processing workflow that processes this DataSource.
Secondary Workflow Name	Name of the send request workflow that sends a request to SAP for the next DataSource. Do not enter a send request workflow for the last DataSource that you process.

Select the primary workflow name and in Session Task Information, add a new task for each session in the workflow.

Enter the name of each session in the order the tasks are scheduled to run.

Select the secondary workflow name and add the name of each session.

Complete steps 7 to 10 to create a key for each DataSource that you want to process.

You do not need to enter the keys in any particular order.

Click OK.

Click Repository > Save.

In the Workflow Manager, start the listener workflow.

Start the send request workflow that requests the first DataSource data you want to process.
