Step 9. Schedule the Processing and Send Request Workflows
Step 9. Schedule the Processing and Send Request Workflows
You can determine the order in which you want to receive and process DataSource data. To do this, you edit the BCI_Scheduling_Target in the listener mapping. In the target, enter which processing and send request workflows run for each DataSource. You enter the following information:
The name of each DataSource that you want to process
The name of the processing workflow that processes the DataSource data
The name of the send request workflow that requests data from SAP for the next DataSource
When you schedule the workflows, you enter the names of each DataSource and each processing workflow. You also enter the names of all but one of the send request workflows. You do not enter the name of the send request workflow that requests the first DataSource you want to process.
The following table shows how to schedule the workflows for each DataSource:
DataSource
Processing Workflow
Send Request Workflow
DS1
pr_DS1
sr_DS2
DS2
pr_DS2
sr_DS3
DS3
pr_DS3
The PowerCenter Integration Service requests the DS1 DataSource first. It uses the sr_DS1 send request workflow. BCI_Scheduling_Target does not schedule the sr_DS1 send request workflow. Instead, start the sr_DS1 workflow. BCI_Scheduling_Target requests that the PowerCenter Integration Service start the remaining workflows in the following order:
When BCI_Scheduling_Target receives the complete data for DS1, it requests that the PowerCenter Integration Service start the pr_DS1 processing workflow.
When pr_DS1 completes, BCI_Scheduling_Target requests that the PowerCenter Integration Service start the sr_DS2 send request workflow. This workflow requests data from SAP for the DS2 DataSource.
When BCI_Scheduling_Target receives the complete data for the DS2 DataSource, it requests that the PowerCenter Integration Service start the pr_DS2 processing workflow.
When pr_DS2 completes, BCI_Scheduling_Target requests that the PowerCenter Integration Service start the sr_DS3 send request workflow. This workflow requests data from SAP for the DS3 DataSource.
When BCI_Scheduling_Target receives the complete data for the DS3 DataSource, it requests that the PowerCenter Integration Service start the pr_DS3 processing workflow.
