Local process chain used in Meta chain

Hi,
Suppose there is a Local process chain (X), and in it has scheduling options "Start using meta chain or API" selected. How can I know which meta chain is using this local chain.
Something similar functionlity of "Where used list" which can give a list of meta chains where this local process chain (X) is used.
Thanks.

Hi Lohana,
I think there no such functionality.
Local chains means just you are calling from some other chain. But that it self a process chain. You are just linking in the chain through Local mode.

Schedule Local process chain (by fac calender) in a daily meta chain

Hello SAP Gurus,
We have a meta chain (e.g. M1) which runs daily. Within this meta chain (M1), a local process chain (e.g. LP1) is attached. This LP1 should run once a month on a Monday (defined in factory calendar). Please note LP1 can not be scheduled separately by factory calendar, as it depend on few activities in daily meta chain. I think LP1 can be scheduled by using the decision in meta chain. I have rough idea of the formula, but not sure. Can you please suggest what should be the suitable formula in decision to schedule it.
Example formula:
DATE_WEEKDAY1(Current Date, 'P1' ) = '1'
Where
DATE_WEEKDAY1 = Calculate weekday Number from Date
P1 = Factory Calendar for one year. Only 12 days (Monday) are open. For example 17 Jan, 14 Feb 2011, etc

No need to change schedule for the entire meta chain. U should schedule local process chain separately.
For local chain change mode
Right click 'Start Variant' -> Maintain variant -- Direct Scheduling -- Change Selections
Enter Date/Time... Select periodic Job
Periodic Values -- Other period -- enter 8 for Hour(s)
If u r using company calender -- Select 'Restrictions' -- enter Calender ID
Save -- Activate - Schedule
Local PC will run for every 8 hrs from the time u specified, and also run in metachain (once in a day if metachain runs daily)

Local Process Chains

HI Guys,
I am in the process of designing the process chains for data loading. I have a situation where I am planning to use local process chains in the meta chain. Situation is like this:I have created Meta Chain for Master Data loading, which is having 2 local process chains, one is for Attributes and another is for loading texts. I placed them in the sequential order. First Attributes chain and on successful completion of Attribute chain it should run the Text process chain. But in the system it executes the Attribute chain successfully but the text process chain is always in the YELLOW( in progress ) state even though in that process chain I have only start process. In the SM50 it shows two background process with the user id ALEREMOTE, but process chain never finishes. In the Messages of the Text process chain I see the message"Communication buffer delted from the previous run ".
So I put the process chains in the parallel manner, meaning after start process of Meta chain I attached the two process chains so that they should execute simultaneously. But in this case too, Attribute local process chain gets executed but not the Text local process chain.
We tried debugging the process in SM50, it seems that there is some infinite loop.
If anybody has any clue then please reply back at your earliest. Your help is highly appreicated,
Thanks.
Santosh Taware

first point, i think you can have single process chian for both attributes and texts one after other.
second thing check in st22 if any dumps are occuring and check in the monitor in which step it is still running.
reward if helps.

Schedule local process chain

Hi, I have a requirement to schedule local PC to run every 8 hrs instead of daily as it does now. Local process chain is called within a meta chain. Is there a way I can schedule local process chain separately within a meta chain or I have to change schedule for the entire meta chain?
Thanks!

No need to change schedule for the entire meta chain. U should schedule local process chain separately.
For local chain change mode
Right click 'Start Variant' -> Maintain variant -- Direct Scheduling -- Change Selections
Enter Date/Time... Select periodic Job
Periodic Values -- Other period -- enter 8 for Hour(s)
If u r using company calender -- Select 'Restrictions' -- enter Calender ID
Save -- Activate - Schedule
Local PC will run for every 8 hrs from the time u specified, and also run in metachain (once in a day if metachain runs daily)

Local Process Chain

Hi Friends !
We have one "Main Process Chain' within the main process chain there is a "Local Process Chain". Main PC is scheduled at 2 PM.
Ques : For the Local Process Chain, will the start variant be "Immediate"? Please advise.
With Regards
Rekha

Rekha,
There shouldn't be any problem even the local chain is set to "Immediate". it all matters with the Meta chain, the subsequent local chains are taken care during the Meta chain run.
In the scheduling option of the Local chain start variant ,you can select either of the options Direct or Start using metachain.
We have Direct shceduling for our local chains(with in the Meta chain) and there has been no problem. this will be an advantage to maintain with the option "Direct shceduling", so that whenever you want to run the local chain seperately, there will not be any need to change any setting. else if you use "Start Using Meta chain or API", each time you have a need to run the local chain the setting has to be changed to "Direct shceduling" before executing it.

Sudheer

How to trigger a local process chain to run manually

Dear Experts,
In my company, I have a Daily process chain.
In this Daily process chain, it contains many other local process chains which are grouped by modules.
For example, I have created the following 3 process chains:
- Accounts Receivables Process Chain which contains all the required process for loading FIAR data.
- Accounts Payables Process Chain which contains all the required process for loading FIAP data.
- Inventory Process Chain which contains all the required process for loading Stocks data.
These 3 process chains are scheduled one after the other in the main process chain which is called Daily Process Chain.
FIAR needs to be successful before FIAP can run and Inventory chain will run only after FIAP is successful.
Normally it runs without any problems.
But recently, when the previous chain is successful, the next process chain does not get triggered to run.
In the end, I have to manually execute the remaining process chains to start running.
With this, all data are loaded, but the Daily Process Chain status for the day is yellow because it is not complete.
Is there a program or method which I can execute or use to trigger the process chain to continue to run in the Daily Process Chain? If there is, please let me know so that I can avoid having to run the process chains manually one by one.
Thanks in advance for your help.
Regards,
Shunhui.

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.

Hi.
Plz see my answer to similar question in [this thread|Re: Manage a message at the end of process chain on Web planning Application].

How to change local process chains job priority to A?

hi experts,
there are process chains are running in BW production system.
for independent process chain when i forcefully change JOB PRIORITY from C to A last night it was executed successfully with PRIORITY A, but whereas i have meta chain in that there are some local process chains, though i forcefully change the JOP PRIORITY in PRODUCTION TO A, still those local chains were executed with JOB PRIORITY C only.
Can you tell me the reason and solution to change the local process chain as well with JOB PRIORITY A.
The metachain with JOB PRIORITY shows my userid, and the local chains shows BW_USER id.
Regards

Check what's job priority for particular cube in TA RSRT->double click on your chain->menu Process chain->Attributes->Job Priority. Via this you can set priority as you need.

Local process chain is failing and i want to run its successor chain

Hello All,
I have a query regarding process chain, which is :
I have a metachain, in which some local chains are existing.
If suppose local process chain 2 is failing and i don't want to run that i want to run local process 3 directly
(which is successor of chain 2 ).
What should i do?
Regards,
Dolly

Hi,
You can trigger the process chain as below:
Go to TC SE37 -
> use function module RSPC_CHAIN_START -
> execute -
> put your process chain's technical name in variant I_CHAIN -
> Execute -
> specify job priority
Cheers

Local Process Chain question

Dear Experts,
               A small quick question. If you have a local process chain, does it just create a dependency or does it execute the local process chain?
               We have a Master data process chain and another chain that loads transaction data. These 2 chains are different chains. Now what we want is to create a dependency. If I include the Master data as a local process chain, does it load the master data again?, which we don't want or just create a dependency saying that the transaction data starts only after the local chain status is complete?
Thank you.

Hai Bhanu,
                Thanks for the reply. We have the Master data chain running from a long time every day and the master data I need for my chain is part of it. We made another process chain for Transaction data that needs dependency on the master data thats part of the loading in the first chain. We don't want to control or change anything in the first chain as there are many other objects and other dependencies with other chains. Now if I include that whole Master data chain in my process chain and execute mine, does it execute the Master data chain also(the Master data chain is generally already executed by the time the second I mean transaction data chain start). So, in this case, is using the Master data chain as a local chain advisable?
Tahnk you very much.

2. Step 001 started (program RSPROCESS, variant &0000000753000, user ID BATCH_AP1)
3. Version 'M' of chain YWAR_MPC_INTERRUPTS_MD_TD was saved without checking
4. Chain Is OK
5. Version 'A' of chain YWAR_MPC_INTERRUPTS_MD_TD was saved without checking
6. Object with runtime number                          0' not defined
7. Job cancelled after system exception ERROR_MESSAGE
Thank You in advance!

Hi
you have pasted the process chain log, as the process was terminated, i required the dump information from the st22 and system messages from the sm21 concerned messages.
Please provide the above infomation to resolve your problem.

Hi Gunasekhar,
Check in system log for the job to see why the background process is being removed. If the issue is unique job count, check sap Note 784969 - The RSBTCDEL2 program and sap Note - 942804
this should help solve this issue.

Local Process chain getting failed

Hi All,
My local process chain is getting failed due to the following error.
"Job started
Step 001 started (program RSPROCESS, variant &0000000068733, user ID ALEREMOTE)
Start process CHAIN EC_EW_M_COMPLAIN_ZMTCOCR1 in run 1HN75DVW2PG2WFU98WGFIXOGV of chain EC_EW_M_TRAN_L1
Communication buffer deleted from previous run F0CDWKC96L0O0D8NQBGVHYK9R (status X)
Chain Is OK
No job found
Job cancelled after system exception ERROR_MESSAGE"
How to resolve this issue?
Thanks,
Sathya

Hi
Communication buffer deleted from previous run F0CDWKC96L0O0D8NQBGVHYK9R (status X)
This means, the previous step is completed and system should get the status as G(green), but in above system got this as X(Deleted). That's why system unable to start the next process(your local chain).
I don't think, this is an issue with background processes.
try to repeat the step once again and monitor the display messages, if you get same error again check process type before this local chain.

Venkatesh

Need help to terminate the local process chain

hi
Master DATA attribute local process chain was triggered twice in our daily master process chain. it is showing twice in the logs.
Can any one help us to terminate the one replica of the running master data attribute local process chain.
Thanks much in advance

Hi,
Please check in execution selection any periodic job is running twice, so remove there.Double click on first node i.e. start and > Chamge Selections> Periodic Values.
