Hi all,
Once you have created and tested all your tasks / data flows, what is the recommended approach to schedule them?
First, I wanted to group my data flows in the correct execution order within a process and then schedule only this process.
For this, I ran several tests:
- I created a process to load simple Master Data (Product, Location, Customer, etc.). It works fine
- Then, I created a process to load compound Master Data (ProductLocation, ProductCustomer, etc.). The process seems to work fine but the post-processing in IBP never ends; and data is never loaded. Note that all these data flows work fine individually.
- For some Master Data, I need to perform a multi-step integration :
1) Insert / Update IBP Master Data
2) Export this new IBP Master Data into a flat file
If I use a Process to group these 2 data flows, the post processing of the first data flow is not over when the second data flows begins – which means that I don’t extract the correct data.
Based on these observations, I think the best option would be to:
1) Group Simple Master Data in a process and schedule it
2) For the other Master Data /Extract to flat file / Key figure, schedule individual tasks one by one
If I do so, how can I be sure that a task is over when the following one begins? Do I start a task every 10 minutes, hoping that the previous one has been completely processed?
Has anyone encountered the same issue with Process in HCI?
Thank you for your input,
Pierre
