BI Admin Cockpit: Program variant missing in Process chain

Hi,
I'm installing BI Admin Cockpit and have troubles with Process chains. I followed the installatin guide and had problems activating process chains: 0TCT_C2_INIT_P01 and 0TCT_MD_C_FULL_P01 because of missing InfoPackages. I solved this by installing an correction as it is described by Note: 1432353. After this I activate these Process chains manually in RSA1 Administration--> BI Content -->Process Chains (all necessary objects). No Problems occured. The Problem is when I'm start these Process chains, I get an error on the last step. There is an Abap Programm with an variant. This variant is missing in the System.
The Variants are:
- RSTCC_Dataload (0TCT_C2_INIT_P01)
- RSTCC_QRuntime (0TCT_MD_C_FULL_P01)
I tried also to get these Process chains with Dataflow before and after to view if I forgot anything to activate, but there is no programm variant. Can anybody explain, how to get these programm variants?
Thanks and greetings,
Sebastian

Sebastian,
I faced the same problem. Basically what I found was that variants were not defined. So I manually created the value for variants:
1. For RSTCC_DATALOAD assign value TCT_C2_DELTA_P01
2. For RSTCC_QRUNTIME assign value 0TCT_C0_DELTA_P01
Our system info is similar to what you have and I in fact had Basis team patch BI Cont to level 6 but this did not help. If I were to take a guess i would have to say that these variants are missing in the 7.01 BI version, you can either choose to create a OSS message with SAP and wait for them to fix it or you could fix it manually.

Abap program variant error in process chain

Hi experts,
I need your help one more time...
In our process chain, we run the program RSIMPCUST to bring currency and units from the source system to BW. We have created a variant to run this program and call it in the process chain. One of the variant's parameter is the logical system, which was configured as our DEV system.
When we transport this process chain to QA and run it, the variant continues to refer the DEV logical system, and not the QA logical system as it should.
any ideas?
Thanks!
Thiago Braga

Values in variants are not converted. You can use the same variant in your ABAP program, but you need to change the value in the parameter for logical system in each system you transport the change to. The only alternative is to create a logical system name in SM59 that is the same in all your BW systems but it refers to the local R/3 system.
In other words, you will have two logical systems in your BWD system pointing to your R/3 Dev. Let's call them R3DCLNT100 and R3SYSTEM, where R3DCLNT100 is also the source system (in RSA1). You can use R3SYSTEM in your variant for your ABAP program. In your BWQ (test system), you will have two logical systems also, R3QCLNT100 and R3SYSTEM, where R3QCLNT100 is also your source system.
Does this help.

"Transfer structure is not yet active" in each variant of a process chain

I run a big process chain in test environment that I had never run before, but find almost every variant of the process chain show the red error, when I right click the red color variant, get the msg at the status bar that says "Transfer structure is not yet active". Is there a way that can do the mass activation of all master data attributes?
Thanks

Hi I have the same error message
When I intend running the program to Activate Transfer Structures I get the following error messages

Program to activate the process chain in 3.5 version

HI Experts,
Like we are activatie jng the transfer strcturers_TRANSTRUC_ACTIVATE_ALL.
I am having some problems ...I need the program to activate the process chain by using program in 3.5
Could any respond on this ASAP.
Thanks
KK

Hi,
RSPC_CHAIN_EXECUTE_REMOTE program runs the Process chain automatically.
If we want to change the status of the dependant chains and to run automatically we can execute RSPC_PROCESS_FINISH but we need to give the parameters like Variant name,logid,process type,Instance name .
Thank you....,

Decision variant issue in process chain

Hi,
I have a decision variant for my process chain:
It should be successful when it is 5th working day of month. If the 5th working day of the month is friday, it should be failed..
Can you please help me to build the formula in Decision variant.
Thanks,
Harish

Hi,
When I use the below formula in decision variant, I found that it is passing on 5th working day and 6 th and 7th days.
WORKINGDAY_MONTH( Current Date, 'FI', '' ) = 5 AND DATE_WEEKDAY1( Current Date ) 5
But my requirement is "it should pass only on fifth working day and if it is friday it should not pass"
Previously it worked fine. now we are facing issue with this decision varinat..
Can some please suggest how to fix this

ABAP Program for set local process chain failed

I would like to execute ABAP Program in local process chain. If the condition is in the pre-defined bussiness rule, local process chain is set to fail.
Currently I use ABAP and Raise Message Error = Message Type E for cancel program. After program is cancelled, local process chain don't know its status, wait for job SAP_CCMS_MONI_BATCH_DP to determine status of process chain and then further execute subsequent process.
I 'm not sure that our solution is right or not about set process chain to fail via ABAP. Please suggest us if there are other solution to set process chain as failed.

Include Delete DM log files program in a BPC process chain

Hi All,
We are currently referring to a 'how-to' article which deletes the data manager log files stored at the backend. There is a custom program which does this job. This program can also be scheduled as a backend job to be run periodically as per the guide.
Our requirement is bit different.
What we need, is it possible to create a data manager package where this program can be run by the business user. We have tried creating a BPC process chain and included a BW process type 'ABAP Program' in it. In this we are calling the custom program and also used a variant based on which the program is expected to run.
- Created a BPC process chain by including BPC process types 'Modify Dynamically' and at the end of the process chain 'BPC clear tables (with close_mode = 0)
Is the above a workable solution? Though the package is successful from BPC excel, it is not doing the required job for us. How to make it work from a data manager package?
Thanks

Hi Ramya,
if you want to see the result it should run first.
after adding abap program to process chain, activate it.
now right click on process chain start --> display variant --> change selection.
check what is the start condition, if it is nto in immediate then comback
click on edit --> change selection
select immediate --> unchek the periodic values. and save. come back
again click on save. come back.
now schedule your process chain by clikc on clock symbol.
after successfull completion of your process chain you can check in SE16

BI Admin Cockpit - Problem in activating Process Chains

Hello,
We're trying to activate the content for BI Admin Cockpit.
While activating the process chains, we get a "red" message as
mentioned below.
"Object '0PAK_5JTN7F5HTP45CGZ04PQTMCNTI' (ISIP) of type 'InfoPackage'
is not available in version 'D'
Message no. RSO252"
OSS message 966131 suggests that "The InfoPackages mentioned are shadow
InfoPackages and the message is unnecessary because there should not
have been a search for the package at all." and we should apply the
correction (as part of SPS10) for this purpose.
We are currently on SP11 but still having the same issue and hence not
able to activate the process chains for BI Admin Cockpit.
Thanks for your help with this.
Ashish

Hi Ashish,
We had the same issue. You must have one of following:-
BI_CONT 702, Support pack 7
or
BI_CONT 703, Support Pack 4
Once you get either of above, you will not have that problem. But you might have some problem in process chains because of roll up of aggregate in delta PC. Just ignore that and you will be OK...( This problem is because there is no agg. defined and PC is trying to do roll up..which make no sense and hence there is error)
Also refer to OSS note 965386
This is my first answer to SDN...so assign my first points..:)
Thanks,

How to automate selective deletion of ods in process chain

Hi,
How can we automate selective deletion of ods in Process chain. I tried with the proceedure. Using T-code "delete_fact" I gave selection parameters and Name of the program and saved this as variant and gave the same program and variant in Process cahin. But it is not deleting data. So plz guide me whether I have missed anything in this proceedure.

Hi purushottam,
you have to give to program variants in the process chain for data deletion to take place. in the first program variant include the rsdrd_delete_facts as program name and in the program variant give a variant for your infoprovider selection.
Now again select another program variant and include the name of the program which you get after selecting the infoprovider name and the generate selection program option in the "program for deleting selected entries from the data target" screen " and press execute.
again give another variant for your field selection.
now try execute the process chain.

How to include an APD process in BW Process Chain

HI,
I have an existing process chain that I want to add an APD process to. There are dependencies. For example, I want the last 2 steps in the existing process chain to continue AFTER the APD process runs successfully. So, how would I include an APD process in my existing chain, I cannot find the variant that says APD in RSPC.

Marasa,
Thanks for your help. I tried to do the second option that you offered just by including an ABAP program variant in my process chain.
However, my process chain fails at that step with tthe following error:
11/11/2009     00:09:53     Job started     S     00     516
11/11/2009     00:09:53     Step 001 started (program RSPROCESS, variant &0000000432745, user ID BWREMOTE)     S     00     550
11/11/2009     00:10:00     Spool request (number 0000031418) created without immediate output     S     SY     355
11/11/2009     00:10:00     Processing completed with errors. See spool list     E     RSAN_PR     22
11/11/2009     00:10:00     Job cancelled after system exception ERROR_MESSAGE     A     00     564
I cannot find anything in the spool to get the exact cause of an error. When I run the APD process by itselt, it executes fine without any errors.
I used the following sap document to set this up in my process chain and followed everything they said:

Program Variant in Process Chain

Hi All,
I have to execute a program in a Process Chain. I have included a process variant to execute the program. Now, this program bring us to a screen, where we need to click on the execute button to run that program. I need to add a program variant for this i guess. Can any one give me the procedure how to do this?
Points will be awarded.
Thanks in advance,
Anjum.

The program that you have written should run in background.
We use Variants for ABAP programs to be run in the Process Chain
- Create an ABAP variant
- Choose call mode "Synchronous", Called from "Local". Thats mostly the default we use. choose according to your requirement.
- Choose "Program". Choose the program name & the variant n ame. Its better if you create the variant while testing the program in sa38. Later you can use the same variant in the Process Chain ABAp variant OR can create a new one. Set appropriate values.
Please note that if in SA38, your program ran successfully with the variant, it should run here as well.
That should do.
Regards
Anujit Ghosh
Edited by: Anujit Ghosh on Jun 17, 2008 12:36 PM
To create the program variant, first enter a name of your choice in the program variant field. Click Edit.
- Choose Create New
- Choose "Values". Click Change. In teh next screen, enter all the required parameters. Choose if its a SAP standard prog, or modified program.
- Check the attributes as well. It will usually choose selection screen 1000 as default. Let it be.

What is variant in ABAP Program Process Block in Process Chain?

I wrote an ABAP program:
REPORT ZTEST,
PARAMETERS: PROC(80) TYPE C.
I can test this PORGRAM from SE38, it shows me a pop-up screen for PROC and I can enter a value and execute.
Now I want to call this program ZTEST from a process chain. In Process Chain Selected a Process u201CABAP Programu201D. It asks me program name and Program variant, I entered Program Name as ZTEST and
Program variant as a character string HELLO.
When I execute Porcess Chain, ABAP Program errors saying that variant HELLO not found.
What is Program variant in ABAP Program Process in Process Chain?
Thanks,

Dont get confused here.
Variant name is not which you are pasing to the program.
You enter some values inside the variant and you specify the program to take the input from the variant.
Suppose you have to pass 10 parameters to a program.
user1 creates a variant " hello1" which contains his own selection for the 10 values
user2 creates another variant "hello2" which contain his own set of selecion values.
When we use this program in PC, you can use the variant user1 or user2 as per our requirement.
please check if you are giving variant as input or the proc value.
Hope this helps,
Sri....
