Summary
Event chains were renamed event collectors. An event collector is a quantity of several events that have been successfully completed independently of each other, to which background processing should respond. The event collector corresponds to the AND process and the process chain maintenance. If an application process is scheduled via an event collector, it starts when all events for the preceding process were successfully triggered Author: Sanjeev Kumar

Use
You can collect events for an event collector in the Administrator Workbench. If all the events contained in a chain have been activated and the chain has thus been successfully processed, then a successful event is triggered that has been previously determined in the subsequent processing of the event collector. You can trigger processes by activating this event. Event collectors are used to control processes in BW. Integration Events triggered by event collectors can be used as a trigger for a process chain. Furthermore, it is possible to combine event collectors with process chains by their own programming. Thus, it is generally possible to integrate event collectors in process chains. Procedure Go To T-code RSPC create new Process Chain Create Start Process

Complex event chain can be replaced by of using a chain no of interrupt processes equal to no of events in event collector. So this is how process chain replaced event chain.
