Question:
Say I have an infopackage that says "update PSA and then datatargets";
if I put this into a process chain, the PC will automatically generate an additional process "read from PSA and update datatarget"
as this should already be done in the infopackage, I deleted this additional process, and I am now wondering what will happen : will the subsequent update from PSA occurs or not ?
I would like to be able not to include the extra process, just to have my chain showing more clearly what will happen
Answer:
No, since you now removed it from the PC this step will not happen.
All flags in the infopackage are ignored. They should be part of the PC.
This is the transparant way a PC works.
Flags on cube maintenance are ignored too.
Answer:
ok,
to be accurate : the option is "only psa" + "update subsequently in data targets".
I can bypass the problem by setting "PSA and then into datatargets", this would avoid me to modify the process chains were I already deleted this process.
But, using this option, I recently often reached deadlocks, that's why I switched to "only psa".
So, what's the best idea ?
1) try to solve the deadlock issue another way (any idea ?)
2) or re-add the processes (but then, I will have less clarity in the way the PC are displayed)
Answer:
Just to confirm : indeed when your InfoPackage has the setting "only psa" + "update subsequently in data targets", the ProcessChain creates 2 process of it. All other IP-settings result in only 1 ProcessChain step....
If you can solve the deadlock issue, solution 1 is definetely cleaner, but on the other hand : making this setting in the InfoPackage is an official SAP-solution for some issues, so ....
Therefore, why not go for solution 2? I agree that this is less clear in the Process Chain, but now you know, so this shouldn't 'fool' you anymore in the future.
