Process Chain Immediately Scheduled in Target System after Transport

[Former Member]

SCM 5.0

After transporting a process chain, it is immediately scheduled in the target system.

We have some chains which only require a manual trigger on an ad-hoc basis, and therefore are not scheduled to run periodically. So when these chains arrive in the target system they are immediately triggered. Is there any way of stopping this as this is ludicrous?

Hi slarty:

Please go to below document , it explain all the steps of setting process chain and do changes if you missed any thing.

Excellent document !

Hi Slarty,

What do you mean by "After transporting a process chain, it is immediately scheduled in the target system."??

You transport a process chain to target system and it gets started as soon as it is transported to target system??

Process chains are just created and when you start them manually or set a frequency of execution, they get triggered.

They don't just go off with out start condition.

Check the start condition in your process chain in the source system (may be development) where you are transporting from and change the start condition.

Visu I disagree. A process chain with a starter set to Direct Scheduling -> Immediate does just go off in the target system as soon as it is imported in the target system. I have witnessed it. Also if you check the transport logs, in the Method Execution it clearly states "Chain Z**** Was Activated And Scheduled".

Everytime you transport the process chains , they are scheduled in the target system. So, if you have set the process chain to start immediately, it will start as soon as the process chain is tranported into the target system.

To overcome this , schedule the process chain sometime in future. Change the schedule to whichever schedule you need in the target system AFTER the process chain is transported.

Ranjini I have come to the same conclusion.
