Control recipes to destination:

Process control system SR2
SR1 PI sheet

SAP AG 2003

After a process order or the relevant phases have been released, the process instructions maintained
in the order are bundled into control recipes and downloaded to process control.
The control recipe destinations maintained in the process order specify which control type is to carry
out a specific control recipe.

You assign control recipe destinations to the phases of the process order. These destinations are
assigned solely from the perspective of process control techniques and are therefore independent of
the subdivision of operations into phases which is done from a planning point of view.
Example:
Discharging a vessel and filling the next vessel are phases that belong to different operations.
However, they are often assigned to the same control recipe destination because their execution is
interdependent. For this reason, they are to be controlled by the same system or process operator.

Process Management creates exactly one control recipe for each control recipe destination of a
process order. A control recipe can only be created if all the phases involved have been released.
Once a control recipe has been created, you can no longer change the process instructions of the
corresponding phases in the order.

Signature, signature strategies and logging

SAP AG 2003

You define control recipe destinations in Customizing. The control recipe destination specifies:
The destination the control recipe is to be transferred to (for example, an operating group that
maintains PI sheets or a specific process control system)
How the data is to be transferred (for example, initiated by R/3 or the process control system)
The process instructions to be generated automatically if a control recipe is created for a
destination

For destinations whose control recipes are to be displayed as an R/3 PI sheet, you can also:
Activate and define the digital signature to specify whether signature strategies are required for
particular processing steps
Activate a log for particular process steps

If a control recipe destination is an external system, you can assign the process instruction categories
defined for this system to the destination. When you maintain process instructions for a control
recipe destination in the master recipe or the process order, the system only offers those process
instruction categories that are assigned to the control recipe destination as possible entries.

The following types of signatures are supported in the PI sheet:

Signature without password check:
You do not need a special authorization to enter this type of signature in the PI sheet. The system
does not check the signature you entered.
Signatures with a simple password check (for type 1 ABAP list-based PI sheet only):
In this case, you must enter a user name as the signuture and an application-specific password in
the PI sheet.
You assign plant-specific user passwords in Customizing for the control recipe destination.
Digital signatures:
This type of signature enables the unique and forgery-proof identification of a user as well as a log
of the signed operation.
There are two signature methods: System signature using autorization by R/3 user and R/3
password and User signature with external security system (for example, a card reader).
Digital signature strategies may be requested for certain activities.

You can activate the logging of particular operations for the browser-based PI sheet.

PLS1 RFC destination

PLS2 RFC destination

SAP AG 2003

Depending on the destination type, the transfer of control recipes can be triggered as follows:
As soon as at least one control recipe has been created for a destination, Process Management
transfers all existing control recipes for this destination.
Process Management informs a destination about each control recipe created. Depending on the
destination, individual control recipes or all existing control recipes can be requested.

From a technical point of view, communication between PP-PI and process control systems is carried
out by a transactional remote function call (tRFC). The communication partners transfer data using
Common Program Interface Communication (CPI-C) based on TCP/IP.
Due to the RFC technology, the application is completely free of communication handling at R/3
level.
The tRFC ensures that each call is executed only once. The sequence of the calls is not changed. If
the target system is not active when the call takes place, the RFC is repeated according to a
repetition rate or duration that can be set by the user.

BAPIs with synchronous RFCs can also be used for the communication between PP-PI and the
process control systems.

SAP AG 2003

To obtain information about the current processing status of a control recipe, you can go to the
control recipe monitor.

From the monitor, you can call up different logs that provide more detailed information on the
individual process steps carried out, and any errors that may have occurred during control recipe
processing.

On the basis of this information, you can carry out the following transactions from the monitor:
Send control recipes if they are not automatically sent in a background job defined in Customizing
Delete control recipes

The graphic shows the different statuses a control recipe can have as well as the corresponding
statuses of the phases in the order. The statuses have the following meaning:
Control recipe created order status, Created or Sent control recipe status:
The control recipe is created. The corresponding phases are locked and cannot be changed.
Control recipe discarded order status, Discarded control recipe status:
The control recipe cannot be processed. It has been discarded before the execution was started.
You can change the process instructions of the corresponding phases and create a new control
recipe.
Control recipe finished order status, Terminated control recipe status:
The execution of the control recipe has been started but cannot be completed. You cannot change
the corresponding process instructions.
If you need a new control recipe, you can:
Create a new control recipe destination with the same address
Create new phases with corrected process instructions for this destination
Create a control recipe for theses phases
Control recipe finished order status, Processed control recipe status:
The execution of the control recipe has been completed. The corresponding phases remain locked.

Summary

By assigning control recipe destinations to the

order phases, you specify which process
instructions of the order are combined in a control
recipe and sent to the corresponding control
recipe destination.
You define control recipe destinations in
Customizing. Possible destination types include
external systems and PI sheets.
You can find out about the processing status of a
control recipe by referring to the information in the
control recipe monitor, the control recipe log and
the tRFC log.

A digital signature is required when you enter a signature in the PI sheet.

A digital signature is to be logged for the Activate/Deactivate operations.

Logging does not occur for the Remove locks/lock operations.

Logging does not occur for the Complete and Value entry operations without a
signature.
