To reload the data

There are frequent requests from users to reload data for eg: SNP data into BW because the previously loaded data was incorrect. We cannot run the process chain directly because the chain is already scheduled in Production and restarting it directly would delete the scheduling. Hence in such a scenario the process chain can be restarted by copying the process chain job. The steps are as follows:

1. Right click on the process chain and select 'Display all jobs'.

2. Select the 'Released' job and from the 'Job' menu item select 'Copy'.

3. Rename the job and click on 'Copy'. This creates a copy of the process chain job.

4. Next go to sm37 transaction and find the newly created job. This job has the status 'Scheduled' and it can be released. Once released it starts the process chain and the regular scheduling of the chain is not disturbed.
