How to Schedule jobs when R3 support is not availaible?

[Former Member]

Hi All

I am working with PI & Oracle system. Message flow is from Unix to Oracle and Oracle to Unix.

Need to provide Job scheduling using SAP PI 7.1 SP12

Processes i have build using BPM.

Requirement

I have 5 BPM process and i need to schedule them in a particular order. Even need to provide functionality to manually trigger them.

Example case

Direction of message is from Unix to Oracle.

Process 1 (BPM) has recieved a file but wait for Process 3

Process 2 (BPM) has recieved a file but wait for process 3

Process 3 (BPM) has recieved file now processing start. Need to hold process1 & 2 till Process 3 finish and releases tables accessed by it.

Direction of message from Oracle to unix

Process 4 (BPM) can start processing only when Process 1 above finish its job.

Process 5 (BPM) is independent but as requirement is only one process at a time. Due to low priority need to hold till all are finished.

You could try using Redwood's SAP product.

It is an Event Driven Process automation/scheduling tool delivered for free use with SAP products - licenses are required for use with non-SAP products though.
