When process chain will run next time – dynamic prediction

This is a follow up on my past post related to determination of when is next time when process chain will run.

There is a function module RSPC_GET_DELAY that does that. On the newer versions of BW (e.g. SAP BW/4HANA) the function module was extended in a way to perform more precise prediction.

The RSPC_GET_DELAY was extended for one more function module - RSPC_DYNAMIC_PREDICTION. It does a predicting runtime and start times of process chains based on historical execution data. It calculates predictions using the last 30 successful executions to determine mean values, which can be adjusted over time as new execution patterns emerge. The function aims to improve accuracy by adopting a new prediction algorithm that accounts for regular fluctuations in execution frequency, particularly during different days of the week. To utilize this, feature a parameter RSPC_DYNAMIC_PREDICTION of RSADMIN table needs to be set.
