Loading Data Using Process Chains

Hi All,
we are having 3 layers for loading data using DB connect i.e 1st and 2nd layers we are having DSO's and the 3rd layer is cube.we are following the following updates for the 3 layers
1st layer- full
2nd layer - delta
3rd -delta
is there any possibilites of getting duplicates in the cube and if so how to solve this one using process chains
regards,

Hi,
Your dataflow looks ok.
Hopefully you are using "Std DSO", there is no chances of getting duplicate records.
But in case...
If you are using "WO DSO" with check box "Do not check Uniqueness of records"
In this situation you will get the duplicate... as "WO DSO" with this property will simply keep on adding adding the records.
Thanks
Mayank

How to load hierarchies using process chains

Hi ,
Can any one please explain the steps for loading hierarchies using process chain.whenever i drag the hierarchy infopcakage Save variant is also coming by default,so do we need to have different SAve variant for different hierarchy infopackages or can we have one save variant for all the hierarchy variables.
Thanks,
Vaka

Hello Veka,
How r u ?
Yes ! SAVE Variant & Attribute Change Run will add up while loading the Hierarchy InfoPackage.
Provide the InfoObject Name for which u r loading the Hierarchy in the SAVE variant and SAVE it. The same will be transferred to the Attribute Change Run also.
If u r creating the Chain with more InfoPackages then have the Save Variant & Attribute Change Run at the last.
Best Regards....

Deletion of changelog data using process chain

Hi All,
I have a requirement where i have to delete the changelog data for particular set of data using process chain.we have an option of deleting the entire data from changelog but how to delete only a particular set of data?????

If you are on BI 7 than,
Choose "Deletion of Requests from the Change Log" from process category Further BI Processes by double-clicking.
Create a new process variant and in the variant maintenance screen select Type of Object as Change Log Table
Under Name of object select DSO name
Specify the requests that need to be deleted by determining the days or dates. You also have the option to specify whether you only want to delete successfully updated requests, and/or only incorrect requests that are no longer updated in an InfoProvider.

Flat file data loading error using process chain

Hi SAP Experts,
I am having a problem loading the flat file data to the cube using process chain. The issue is that when i run the process chain it fails giving the message " Date format error, please enter the date in the format _.yyyy" . I am using " 0calmonth in the datasource" . Strange is that when i manually execute the infopackage, i dont get any errors and am able to load the same file successfully to the dso and the cube. Is there any special setting for the process chain that i am missing?
The date format in the flat file is mm/yyyy. I have tried all the options i could including recreating the datasource and invain dont see any success so far. please help me solving this problem as we r in the middle of testing cycle.
Thanking you all for your quick response and support all the time.
Kind Regards,
Sanjeev

Hi Sanjeev,
I believe you are opening the .csv file again after saving it. In this case the initial 0 in single digit month (say 02/2010) is getting changed to 2/2010 and the resulting file is not readable to the system. Just do not open the file after you have entered data in the .csv file and saved and closed it. If required, open the file in notepad, but not in excel in case you want to re-check the data.
Hope this helps.

Initial full load of Master data using process chain

Hi All,
Could you please help me regarding, initial master data load to characteristics with attributes and text. I need to load master data to 23 info objects, by using process chain can I do full load of master data to all info objects at a time. And one more doubt is, as per my knowledge we can't maintain more than one variant in an info package, is that right ? or we can ?
Means Start Variant -> Info Package (0Customer_Text, 0Customer_Attr,0BILL_TYPE_TEXT, BILL_CAT_TEXT) -> DTP ( ", ", ", ") -> ACR.
Your Help will be appreciated.
Thanks & Regards
Sunil

Hi,
"I need to load master data to 23 info objects, by using process chain can I do full load of master data to all info objects at a time."
if there is no dependency between attributes then you add you can create process chains and trigger them at a time. No issues.
we can't maintain more than one variant in an info package, is that right ? or we can ?
With one info pack you can't load data to all 23 psa. because each data source have own psa. you need to sue 23 info packs.
in general start variant--> info pack --> dtp (assuming as your bw 7.x)---> attribute change run.
like that you need to create 23 chains
Or create one two big chains.
one is for attribute and another for text.
In attribute
start varaint--> info pack(info bject 1)--DTP(infoobject 1))--> info pack(infoo bject 2)-->dtp(infoobject 2).
Like that way you can create in series and parallel chains to load attributes data into info objects. at end you add change run for 6 info objects each. SAme you can do for text loads also.
Thanks

Data load Error using Process chain

Hi,
In NW2004s when I schedule delta loads for 2LIS_11_VAITM using process chains, when there is zero delta, the manage screens of the infocubes show green light with zero records correctly whereas the process chain log display shows red. The details of the process monitor show zero records. Is this right? I assume that even if there is zero delta, the log must show green and all the subsequent processes like activation of ODS, deleting of PSA, construction of indexes must be carried out. Please confirm. Is this a bug?
Thanks.
Param

Hi Victor,
Can you please advice how you solved issue as we are having similar issue where it works fine when loaded manually but throws communication error when process chain runs, following is error message..
Communication error: call FM RSSDK_DATA_REMOTE_GET
Thanks in advance for your help!!

How to delete Master data using Process Chain

I need to delete data in respective data targets such as Infocubes, DSOs & Master data Infoobjects. It was fine with Infocubes & DSOs using respective process type. But the issue is with Master data Infoobjects.
Is there any process type by using which I can delete data in Master data Infoobjects using process chain?

Murali,
Master data object process type is not there because in BW, master data is conformed or is shared by other infoproviders. Due to this dependency, master data loading is a bit more complex. You need to drop all the data from all the infproviders which are using the master data you want to delete.

Steps for master data loading by using process chain

Hi
I want to load the Master data by using the process chain . Can anyone tell me the step-by-step method for loading the master data .
I means what are the processes should i need to include in the process chain . Pls tell me in sequenece .
i ll assing the points
kumar

Hi,
The process os loading master data is similar to transaction data in terms of using the infopackages.
First you have to load Attr followed by texts and hierarchy.For master data you have to include the process type called as Attribute change run.This can be included as a separate process type or using the AND process.
Hope this helps.
Assign points if useful.

Deleting PSA data using process chain doesn't delete records from psatable

Dear All,
We have an issue where by the process chain runs and deletes the PSA records and upon checking that's what we thought it had done from the monitor but it didn't actually delete the records from the PSA Tables!
Does anyone have any clues about this ?
Thanks
Craig

Chetan,
Yes you read correctly the actual table content for the PSA records are not physically removed.
By monitor I meant the entry in the requests for PSA.
It's a strange one for sure.
Cheers

HOW TO LOAD R/3 DATA INTO SAP BI USING PROCESS CHAINS?

Hi,
Can we load R/3 data into BI using process chains?... I loaded data from R/3 into Infocube using generic extraction using view... took 2 tables EBKN and EBAN and ceated view.
In PSA I can find all the 2388 records but when I load into datatarget in transferred tab there are 2388 records but in added colum i could find only 2096.....
I deleted the request and want to load through process chains....... but how to do ?????? without flat file ...can we laod using process chains?
I appreciate any inputs.......
Regards,
Prasanthi.

did you even bother looking at the links in my previous posts???
read the docs...try yourself...if you encounter specific issues, you can post them on the forum...
if you're really expecting somebody to post a step by step for process chain, i think you can wait a long, long time...

Need help in triggering the Data stream load using process chain

Hi Guru's
is it possible to trigger a data stream load using process chain?
Any help is highly appreciated.
Thanks
Indiran

Hi Indiran and welcome aboard!
Don't think this is possible. SAP BW & SAP SEM-BCS are rather independent systems. Though, BCS lives on top of BI-BW stack, it even may have master data different from those in BW.
Process chains, AFAIK, is completely the BW's feature. Certainly, you may use PCc on BW side, loading ODS/DSO and cubes involved in BCS data model.
The main con here is the lost transparency -- you don't control everything from the consolidation monitor.
The pro side is also rather obvious for me. Since, very often there is a huge difference between data quality at the data source and in the BCS totals cube, I need to make a lot of data transformation. Not only some data calculations or cleaning, but also transformation of data model: key figure model -> account model. It's much more easier to do in BW, for me.
I even call the ODS/cubes/routines involved in such transformation as intermediate layer, the layer between data source and SEM-BCS.
And this layer lives rather independently from BCS.
Hope this helps.
