Calling BW Process chain from Visual Composer

Hi Gurus,
i have a question. Does anyone testet to call an ABAP program or a process chain in BW (via ABAP) through a button in visual composer?
Regards,
Adem

Hi Adem,
this is possible, you must write an RFC function module,
which calls a function module of the function group
RSSM_PROCESS.
For example you want to start a attribute change run you have to call the function module RSSM_PROCESS_ATTRIBCHANGE
from your RFC function module.
Best Regards,
Marcel

Is there any way to execute process chain from the portal?

Hello,
Is there any way to execute process chain from the portal? I dont want to link process chain with any of report. I want to have a button in some of portal folders. User presses the button and it executes the process chain.
I was thinking about to create a fake planning cube, aggregation level and planning function. I call FM within the Fox planning function that runs the process chain. But it should be done within the report.
Any ideas?
Thanks a lot in advance!

How to move the process chain from Unassigned node to a new node in 3.5?

Hi all,
I have created a new process chain in the development and it is falling under the Unassigned nodes. I want to move that process chain to an another node. but i am unable to do that
Can anyone let me know how to move the process chain from unassigned node. I have drag and dropped but still the same in BW 3.5 ?
Thanks
Poooja

Hello,
Try this....
Double click on your process chain. Via the menu select:
Process chain > Attributes > Display components
Select F4 (possible entries)
At the bottom of the window you will find a create icon
to make your own component.
After you created it, assign it to your process chain.
Don't forget to save the process chain.

Passing a range of dates from Visual Composer 7.0 to Bex Analyzer

Dear Experts,
         I created a button in my Visual Composer model that has the following settings:
System action: Hyperlink
Apply to: Self
Hyperlink address: "...QUERY=BMMSEG_C01_SAS_Q0001&BI_COMMAND_1-BI_COMMAND_TYPE=SET_SELECTION_STATE&BI_COMMAND_1-TARGET_DATA_PROVIDER_REF_LIST-TARGET_DATA_PROVIDER_REF_1=DP_1&BI_COMMAND_1-CHARACTERISTICS_SELECTIONS-CHARACTERISTIC_SELECTIONS_1-CHARACTERISTIC=MBUDAT&BI_COMMAND_1-CHARACTERISTICS_SELECTIONS-CHARACTERISTIC_SELECTIONS_1-SELECTIONS-SELECTION_1-SELECTION_INPUT_STRING=08/22/2006;08/28/2006"
        Basically, what I need is to pass a range of dates from Visual Composer to Bex Analyzer on the characteristic "MBUDAT". However, it only brings back the data with those specific dates, not the range.
      I don't think this is the correct syntax to pass in a range value: 08/22/2006;08/28/2006 Please advise how should I do it.
Thank you in advance,
Kevin

Hi J GOEL,
       Thank you for your quick response. I created a date range variable ZPSTDAT, and then I passed in the oncatenated value to my Bex query (for this example, let says the From date is 08/22/2006, and the To date is 08/28/2006 ).
      Here's what I passed in into the url:
...QUERY= BMMSEG_C01_SAS_Q0001
&BI_COMMAND_1-BI_COMMAND_TYPE=SET_SELECTION_STATE
&BI_COMMAND_1-TARGET_DATA_PROVIDER_REF_LIST-TARGET_DATA_PROVIDER_REF_1=DP_1
&BI_COMMAND_1-CHARACTERISTICS_SELECTIONS-CHARACTERISTIC_SELECTIONS_1-CHARACTERISTIC= ZPSTDAT
&BI_COMMAND_1-CHARACTERISTICS_SELECTIONS-CHARACTERISTIC_SELECTIONS_1-SELECTIONS-SELECTION_1-SELECTION_INPUT_STRING= 08/22/2006:08/28/2006
   However, it returns all the records, so it seems like it doesn't even accept the range value that I passed into the Bex. Do you mind to please show me the url you have that pass in the date range. I just need to see the date range part, not the entire url.
Thanks,
Kevin

How export data in Excel From Visual Composer

Hay everybody,
I would like to export my data result from Visual Composer to Excel. I've tried with an export data buton, but the exported file has a very bad format in Excel. I've tried an hyperlink buton which contain the Reptname data of the query too, but I can't keep my filters. This second solution can be nice for the format. If anyone knows how I can keep my filters, I would be fine.
Thanks

Restarting Process chain from the middle

Hi all, I have a question about process chain in BW7.0.
When the error has occured in the process chain, is there any way to restart the process chain from where the error has occured?
One of the way I came up with was to set the process type into Repairable from Repeatable,but when I try to change the status,the warning message shows up and I can't change it.
Is this the right idea,or is there any other way to do it?
Can any one tell me?
Thanks in Advance,
Hiroshi Iwanaga

First of all, find out the rootcause of the failure of the process step that failed and finish it manually. Then, go to the process chain...
Open the messages of a failed step by right clicking on it and selecting 'display messages'.
In the opened popup click on the tab 'Chain'.
In a parallel session goto transaction se16 for table rspcprocesslog and display the entries with the following selections:
1. copy the variant from the popup to the variante of table rspcprocesslog
2. copy the instance from the popup to the instance of table rspcprocesslog
3. copy the start date from the popup to the batchdate of table rspcprocesslog
Press F8 to display the entries of table rspcprocesslog.
Now open another session and goto transaction se37. Enter RSPC_PROCESS_FINISH as the name of the function module and run the fm in test mode.
Now copy the entries of table rspcprocesslog to the input parameters of the function module like described as follows:
1. rspcprocesslog-log_id -> i_logid
2. rspcprocesslog-type -> i_type
3. rspcprocesslog-variante -> i_variant
4. rspcprocesslog-instance -> i_instance
5. enter 'G' for parameter i_state (sets the status to green).
Now press F8 to run the fm.
Now the actual process will be set to green and the following process in the chain will be started and the chain can run to the end.
Of course you can also set the state of a specific step in the chain to any other possible value like 'R' = ended with errors, 'F' = finished, 'X' = cancelled ....
Check out the value help on field rspcprocesslog-state in transaction se16 for the possible values.
Assigning points is the way of saying thanks in SDN.

Removing process chain from schedule

Hi Gurus
I have a very basic question, under what circumstances do we take a process chain out of schedule? Till now i was being asked to make occasional changes in Process chains and then revert them back later,i did this activity of changing(adding or removing processes) after removing process chain from schedule( i was asked to do that)...
Now i need to edit recipient list(add one recipient's name ) in alll the process chains where success and error messages are present.
I want to know whether i need to remove the chain from schedule before starting with this activity.
If one chain contains multipe individual chains and every individual chain contains messages,do i need to remove every chain from schedule and edit the recipient list....or this is not required and i can simply open individual chain containing messsages in edit mode and edit the recipient list and save the changes and follow the same for all chains?
kindly help.

Hi,
We would normally be asked to remove the process chains from schedule during any upgrade activities. or it can also be related to any particular flow - this is in case particular process chains are asked to be removed from schedule. This may be due to adding an intermediate step in between the flow or any such scenario.
And you can change the recipient list when the process chain is running also, because here you will not actually be editing the process chain but will be editing the "message" object. just click "edit message", save the message and come out, do not click save when you are in the process chain maintenance screen.
Hope this helps.
Regards,
Joe

Trigger process chains from UNIX

Hi,
I just wanted to know how can we trigger Process chains from UNIX Server.
Any pointers will be appreciated.
Thanks

I suggest to use the sapevt.exe.
With it you can trigger an event in the SAP system with the execution of a simple command file (.bat for ex.)
So the event will start the chain as you require.
You can find more info for sapevt in:

How to read a text file from Visual Composer

Hi VC Experts,
Please suggest me how can we read a textfile from the local machine and pull the data from Visual Composer.
Regards
Kiran

Hy kiran, is not possible to read data from flat file and put it in visual composer but you can :
1) load this file in BI by ETL, for example on DSO object and then you can create a bex query to retrive the data
2) if you want display the content of this file , you can use KM.

I want to kill a particular process chain from a meta chain..

Hi All,
I want to kill a particular process chain from a meta chain as, its having some technical issues.So what is the procedure.to handle this process..
Thanks..

follow these steps
1.Go to the chain which you want to kill .
2.Go in the log view->top menu bar execution tab.>Remove from schedule.
you are done
Another way (bit complex but will work )
1.Go to the process chain running (which you want to kill) in the log view copy the logid (lef hand side of screen you can get that)
2.Open a new session ,Go to se37 enter function module RSPC_PROCESS_FINISH -->execute it
3.Now again go Log view of the process chain right click on the start variant>display messages>Chain tab
copy the variant ,instance ,date time etc
4.IN execution screen of RSPC_PROCESS_FINISH enter the variant,instance,data time,logid and Type=TRIGGER
status = R.
Actually you will see something like this in input screen
I_LOGID -
>from log view in RSPC
I_CHAIN
I_TYPE   -
>TRIGGER for start variant
I_VARIANT----
>from log view in RSPC
I_INSTANCE------>from log view in RSPC
I_STATE     -
>R
I_EVENTNO                       00
I_HOLD
I_JOB_COUNT
I_BATCHDATE   -
>from log view in RSPC
I_BATCHTIME                     00:00:00
I_DUMP_AT_ERROR
Thats all and your are done.
But I would suggest Remove from Schedule will surely work....If you have any doubts let me know.

Rocks
