BW process chain monitor - Details

• 
  Key Concepts: 
  BW process chain monitor is a component of the SAP Solution Manager that allows users to monitor and manage the execution of BW process chains. It provides an overview of the status of all process chains, including their start and end times, as well as any errors that may have occurred. It also allows users to manually start, stop, or reset process chains. 
  
  How to use it: 
  To use the BW process chain monitor, users must first log into the SAP Solution Manager. From there, they can access the BW process chain monitor by navigating to the “Process Chain Monitor” tab in the “SAP BW” section. This will open a list of all available process chains, which can be filtered by name or status. Users can then select a process chain to view its details, such as its start and end times, as well as any errors that may have occurred. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When using the BW process chain monitor, it is important to remember that it only shows the status of process chains that have been executed in the past 24 hours. If a process chain was executed more than 24 hours ago, it will not appear in the list. Additionally, users should be aware that manually starting or stopping a process chain may cause unexpected results if not done correctly.
