I want to start a process chain in BW when my load job finishes and have imported the function module RSPC_API_CHAIN_START in my SAP BW Source data store.
The first thing that I notice is, that it gets imported with the wrong length of the arguments. For example I_CHAIN is a varchar(10), while in SAP BW its length is 25. So I changed the length of all arguments according to what we see in BW.
I cannot get it to work. As only the first argument is mandatory, I filled the rest with NULL. My job now fails with a truckload of error messages, including the suggestion to call support… (See attachment)
I also tried to invoke the process chain in synchronously and set the arguments I_DONT_WAIT and I_SYNCHRONOUS to ‘X’. That also did not work. (See attachment)
I tried other values for the arguments, but none work. When I look at the RFC Server Interface log in the management console, I notice that it does not contain my latest calls. They appear not to arrive at the RFC server. I also restarted the RFC Server interface.
What’s going wrong? How is this function supposed to be called?
