Question:
I have a report program in R/3 that fills the generic extractor......
I need to execute this program automatically once i schedule the infopackage in BW.......i.e. i need to execute the r/3 program first before i load data into BW........
Can anyone tell me how to do this...........
thanks
Answer:
You wrote the program is filling the generic extractor. What do you mean ?
1) the generic extractor is based on an infoset that is filled by the program you wrote. If this is the case, the program will be automatically called at the time you are scheduling the infopackage
2) the program you wrote is filling a table that you extract from ; in this case you can create a process chain that will remotely launch the R3 program before scheduling the infopackage
3) the program you wrote is filling a table that you extract from ; you can also trigger the program at extraction time via a submit of the program coded in the user-exit (has been explained here by somebody something like 5 months ago, I found it clever)
'hope this will help you

PS : please think about a better subject/title, next time (read the sticky about the "rules"), thanks
