Definition

Select the field if KE28A is to run until all scheduled jobs have been processed completely. This enables follow-on activities to be triggered after all jobs are finished.

Leave the field empty if KE28A is to finish as soon as all jobs have been scheduled successfully.

Example

You are planning two-step top-down processing for your sales organizations "US" and "DE". To do this, you use the top-down variants "US1" followed by "US2" and "DE1" followed by "DE2".

With KE28A, you can schedule this processing in two ways:

Sequential Processing

A KE28A variant "US" contains the top-down distributions "US1" and "US2".

You start this KE28A variant with the options:

  • "Execute Jobs Sequentially"
  • "Job Chain Status-Dependent"

This ensures that the "US2" distribution is not started until the "US1" distribution has been successfully executed. The "Await End of All Jobs" option is not absolutely necessary here.

A second KE28A variant "DE", which contains the top-down distributions "DE1" and "DE2", can be started independently in parallel with the same options.

Parallel Processing

A KE28A variant "Level 1" contains the top-down distributions "US1" and "DE1". Another KE28A variant "Level 2" contains the top-down distributions "US2" and "DE2".

You define the KE28A variant "Level 2" in SM36 as a follow-on job to KE28A variant "Level 1" (dependent on the status of "Level 1", if necessary).

You start the KE28A variant "Level 1" with the options:

  • "Execute Jobs in Parallel"
  • "Await End of All Jobs"

As a result, KE28A runs until the "US1" and "DE1" distributions have finished. This ensures that the KE28A variant "Level 2" is not executed until the "US1" and "DE1" distributions have finished.

To enable the KE28A variant "Level 2" to be started depending on the status of "Level 1", you also have to select the "Job Chain Status-Dependent" option.
