SAP BW on HANA - Process Chain

When you migrate from SAP BW to HANA database, there are various process types that are obsolete. If you use SAP HANA database, the following process types in the process chain are not required −

• Filling of New Aggregates
• BWA Indexes
• Adjust Time Dependent Aggregates
• Build Index
• Delete Index

You don’t need to modify the process chains to remove these process types. The process chain continues to run without errors. When you check the log of Process Chain, you will see these steps are not executed.

Different Transactions are available to monitor the Process Chain runs.
