Dialog process (loading)

Hello,
We have upgraded the system to BW2004s. Now when loading fom cube to cube. We get 2 dialog processes. Before we got only 1 dialog process.
Does anybody know how to select only 1 dialog proces during loading?
regards,
Jos.

<b>Rules -</b>
You cannot change the number of dialog processes directly. The number of dialog processes is calculated automatically from the total number of work processes minus all the other work processes.
There must always be at least 2 dialog processes. The number of other work process types can only be increased if there are more than two dialog processes.
<b>Transactions</b>
SM50 - To check how many DIA processes are available for you.
RZ04 - Is the transaction to configure the number of DIA processes need to be increased,done by BASIS ...

  • All BW dialog processes occupied while loading

    Hi,
    All dialog processes (9) in BW are occupied at loading from the SCAPPTSEG table in CRM.
    We do not have any problem with other loads.
    Has anybody a solution for this?
    rgds,
    Marcel

    Hi Van,
    Its not a good practice to kill the job in production.
    First check if the PID for that particular process is progressing or waiting for the gate way of some other reason.
    this you can check in SM50 - local work process overview of the systems.
    Also check for the system log in SM21 transaction...
    check if there are any short dumps...
    capture all the inforamtion and check with BASIS if the PID is processing or not and if not processing and HUNG you can take help of BASIS to Kill the PID. the process will be terminated.

  • Dialog process setting

    Hello,
      I am wondering if/where there is a setting on the number of dialog processes that a load can allow.  As an example we want it to only do 3 packages at a time of a load and once they complete do 3 more.  Please gurus

    Hi MG,
    Is this data load to an ODS. If yes, then there is a setting in the ODS itself.
    Right Click on the ODS and Select manage. On the top Menu, you will find the button "GO TO".
    Under the GO TO menu, select "ODS Object Customizing".
    Here, you have the option to change the no. of parallel processes your load could use.
    Hope the answer was helpful.

  • Bank ALE Creates Dialog Processes

    Hi All,
    We would like to use ALE to move bank master data from our legacy 4.6c system to our new ECC6.0 system.
    It works fine, however, it appears that when SAP creates the inbound IDOC in the receiver system, it generates a dialog process per IDOC rather than using a single one and doing them serially.  When we send mass data loads, this causes issues with system performance.
    Is there a way to force the ALE to only use a single dialog process?  I know it would take longer, but it will keep more dialog processes free to help overall performance.
    Thanks in advance.

    Then you need to do in Source system this way
    Use collect IDOCs as option in WE20 and increase the packet size with a large number.
    and schedule RSEOUT00 in nightly batch , Then it will send all the IDOCs in one packet to to the other destination

  • How to execute report in Background from Dialog process?

    How, or what is the best way, to lauch an executable program (report) into the background from a dialog program (dynpro)?
    <b>Example:</b>  The SUBMIT...AND RETURN still executes the called program before it returns control to the calling program.  I just want the report to be kicked off and the dialog to continue as normal.  I do not want the report execution time to affect the dialog process.
    Thanks in advance for your time.

    Hi Nablan, I'm also trying to do parallel processing and created a function module that kicks of another report program.
    However, the process doesn't seem to work. The Main program runs from start to finish but the called program in the function module doesn't seem to run. When I used the option STARTING NEW TASK task name the code ran but in the foreground. I don't want to use this option as it runs in the foreground and SAP limits one to six sessions. Is there something I'm missing in the attributes of the function module I created. Currently the attributes are: Processing type Remote enable module and it's set to start immediately. I had used Normal function module initially but this did not work with the STARTING NEW TASK task name option.
    Below are the codes segements I used.
    In my main program I have the following code segement
    CALL FUNCTION 'Z_CA_PROG_CALL'
      IN BACKGROUND TASK
      EXPORTING
        zprogram            = 'ZCA_TEST1'
      EXCEPTIONS
        program_call_failed = 1
        invalid             = 2
        OTHERS              = 3.
    IF sy-subrc <> 0.
    MESSAGE ID SY-MSGID TYPE SY-MSGTY NUMBER SY-MSGNO
            WITH SY-MSGV1 SY-MSGV2 SY-MSGV3 SY-MSGV4.
    ENDIF.
    COMMIT WORK.
    In the function module I have the following code.
    FUNCTION z_ca_prog_call.
    ""Local interface:
    *"  IMPORTING
    *"     VALUE(ZPROGRAM) LIKE  ZCA_INTERFPROG-ZPROGRAM
    *"  EXCEPTIONS
    *"      PROGRAM_CALL_FAILED
    *"      INVALID
      SUBMIT (zprogram).
      IF sy-subrc <> 0.
        CASE sy-subrc.
          WHEN 1.
            RAISE program_call_failed.
          WHEN OTHERS.
            RAISE invalid.
        ENDCASE.
      ENDIF.
    ENDFUNCTION.

  • Process LOADING has no predecessor in Process chain

    Hi Experts,
    I have copied Process chain with all process and I have included new steps in process chain like change log deletion  and delete & create index(the process chain has data mart functionality which mean that, first it load to DSO and then from DSO it load to Cube) so after Start variant I have included Change log deletion Step and then after Activation of DSO I have included delete Index step and then after IP load to Cube I have included Create Index step therefore which is the PC in the form of
    1) Start Process
    2) Change log deletion
    3) Load IP (Target to only PSA)
    4) Read PSA and Update to data target (DSO)
    5) Activate the DSO
    6) Delete Index
    7) Load IP (Data mart from DSO to Cube)
    8) Create Index
    9) Delete request from PSA.
    all process are connected but when I activated I was getting error message that Process LOADING has no predecessor
    so pls advise me what went wrong or what should I do.
    Note
    1) load type is full load and I was in BI.7
    2) there is no DTP engaged

    Hi
    during creation of modification of chain you must have deleted few links to Loading step.
    Go to settings-> Default chains  and see if autosuggest is on, if it is on this might have cause this.
    To Resolve this problem go to edit mode of chain and then go to View->Detail view on
    now you will be able to see unlinked loading step.
    Delete unlinked and un necessary steps from here and reactivate chain.
    Hope this works
    Regards
    Sudeep

  • Broadcaster times-out due to dialog process

    Hi !
    I'm trying to set up a broadcasting for a report with a large amount of records, and since when I execute it in dialog it times out, broadcasting it in the background seemed a great idea.
    The thing is that, despite I schedule it to run in a background process, it still creates a dialog process to fetch data wich times out and therefore the background process (the document creation and email sendig) ends correctly sending a 'No Data Available' report or with an error: com.sap.ip.bi.base.exception.BIBase.RuntimeException.
    The parameters for the report are being set in the General Precalculation tab, while there is a Filter Navigation tab which allows you to filer specific characteristics. Which is the difference here ?
    Regards,
    Santiago

    Sonal, thanks for the quick answer.
    Let me see if I get this right.
    The Precalculation tab allows to filter before precalculation, in order to fetch de query from precalc. cache instead of direct db access. The data excluded from filters in precalc. tab will not be available in the query.
    On the other hand, Filter tab sets filter values for characteristics contained in the query. Is this like the right column of the filter tab of Query Designer ?
    Let me know if this is right.
    Regards,
    Santiago

  • Function in update task goes to dialog process(seen by sm50)

    Hi Forum,
       I wrote a simple test to invoke a function module in update task, and the execution of the module takes several minutes (updating database using opensql) . The test looks simply like described in the following link:
    http://www.****************/Tutorials/ABAP/Debug/Index.htm
       During the run, I used transaction sm50 to view the working processes and expect to find a running "UPD" process. However it is not found, instead  my dialog process is always seen running. Any hints on why?
    Thanks,
    Yang

    got the answer. The reason is that sm50 can not display UPD process so promptly. For a more thorough tracing, transaction "stad" can be used. (where I see the DB access executed in UPD process)

  • How do I prevent all dialog processes in SM50 from being occupied?

    Hi experts,
      I have set rdisp/rfc_min_wait_dia_wp = 4 and I still saw all dialog processes got occupied.
    (PS: This screenshot is captured after a few minutes). Anyway, how do I prevent all dialog processes in SM50 from being occupied?
    Should I increase rdisp/rfc_min_wait_dia_wp ( = 4 now ) and rdisp/wp_no_dia ( = 18 now ) to a higher value?

    Hi Gaurav & Nick,
       If I understand correctly, there are 4 dialog processes running and 14 RFC running at the same time.
    If I want to resolve this problem, I need to reduce paralellism of RFCs and increase dialog work processes, right? Here is my new configuration. Any thoughts?
    new parameters:
    rdisp/wp_no_dia = 20
    rdisp/rfc_min_wait_dia_wp = 10
    rdisp/rfc_check = 3
    old parameters in profile:
    rdisp/wp_no_dia = 18
    rdisp/wp_no_btc = 13
    rdisp/wp_no_enq = 0
    rdisp/wp_no_spo = 2
    rdisp/wp_no_vb = 5
    rdisp/wp_no_vb2 = 2
    rdisp/rfc_min_wait_dia_wp = 4
    rdisp/rfc_check = DEFAULT  (DEFAULT is 2, ASYNC and SYNC RFC)

  • SAP Dialog Process Number

    Dears:
    I just finish installation of my ECC 6.0 server. Now i want to change the number of the SAP dialog process. And do you know if there is any calculate formula to use so that i can know how many dialog process i should set for the server?

    Hello,
    That depends on the no of users that are going to logon.
    For windows based operating system, it depends on the no of processors you have in the server.
    http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/EN/02/962817538111d1891b0000e8322f96/frameset.htm
    While increasing the no of work process, you need to note that per work process, you have to assign 50 MB to 60 MB of memory, depending on the SAP release and operating system.

  • Is there any way to run abap program in dialog process with process chain?

    Hi.
    I just want to run custom abap program in every 30min.
    so I made process chain and connect abap program.
    but it returns NOTHING when background running.
    the program has ABSOLUETLY no problem when it's running DIALOG process.
    custom program is modified from sap standard program for my use.
    so complicated and hard to read that I cann't figure out what's problem in backgound job and even hard to debug in background process.
    is there any way to run abap program in dialog process in every 30 min.?
    or call BSP page or call function.
    any solution will be helpful that excuting PROGRAM or FUNCTION or BSP PAGE in schedule job and should running dialog process.
    thanks.

  • SAP job not using all dialog processes that are available for parallel processing

    He Experts,
    The customer is running a job which is not using all the dialog processes that are available for parallel processing. It appears to use up the parallel processes (60) for the first 4-5 minutes of the job and then maxes out about 3-5 processes for the remainder of the job.
    How do I analyze the job to find out the issue from a Basis perspective?
    Thanks,
    Zahra

    Hi Daniel,
    Thanks for replying!
    I don't believe its a standard job.
    I was thinking of starting a trace using ST05 before the job. What do you think?
    Thanks,

  • Dialog process hang and can not be cancelled

    Hi Gurus,
    In SM50, a dialog process was running with error. It was obviously hang, but I can't cancel it.
    Everytime I use "cancel with core" or "cancel without core", the only thing changed was the PID. It changed a PID and kept running.
    Even I logged into application server and kill the process in task manager, it would run again with a new process id?
    Any idea how I can cancel it, Thanks.

    You can try to logoff the user, but i am not sure if this will help.
    I am a bit confused, could you please either share a screenshot, or just copy paste the text from SM50.
    Something like this would be very helpful:
    |  No.|Ty.|PID  |Status |Reasn|Start|Err|Sem|CPU|  Time|Report                     |Cl.|User    |Action|Table|
    |   5 |DIA|21149|Waiting|     |Yes  |   |   |   |      |                           |   |        |      |     |

    After each restart the Err count will increase, this is usual behavior.

  • Process Chain remote execution locks up (All Dialog Processes used up)

    Hi,
    We have the following task at hand. We kick in BW process chain execution via RFC from our R/3 system using the function described below. What happens is that the process chain does get kicked in the remote BW system, but it quickly locks up. System monitor  says that all dialog process have been utilized. So, basically it gets stuck in the beginning of the process chain. Is there anything I can do to prevent this from happening?
    Here is the function call:
    This function triggers execution of process chain
    (on the remote BW system)
      CALL FUNCTION 'RSPC_API_CHAIN_START' DESTINATION p_rdest
        EXPORTING
          i_chain             = p_pchain
      I_T_VARIABLES       =
          i_synchronous       = 'X'
      I_SIMULATE          =
      I_NOPLAN            =
        IMPORTING
          E_LOGID             = gv_pchain_logid
        EXCEPTIONS
         failed              = 1
         OTHERS              = 2
