DataFlow of Process Chains in different SAP BW-BI

There are sometimes doubts regarding how to set up processes within the process chains. Process chain is structural and logical grouping of processes , jobs or steps involved within loading of data into BW. Proper design of chain has effects on its performance and consequently on performance of whole BW system. Therefore kind of best practice I can recommend following sequence for designing process chains:

a. Delete Index
b. Data Transfer Process / Execute InfoPackage – optimally in parallel
c. Generate Index
d. Construct Database Statistics
e. Compress cube
f. Delete PSA (aged data requests)
g. Delete Change Log (aged data requests)

8.Create Indexes for Cube
SAP BW 3.X

Master loading ( Attr, Text, Hierarchies )

Steps :

1.Start
2. Execute Infopackage (say if you are loading 2 IO's just have them all parallel )
3.You might want to load in seq - Attributes - Texts - Hierarchies
4.And ( Connecting all Infopackages )
5.Attribute Change Run ( add all relevant IO's ).
