No msg from process chain on ODS activ failure

All,
We are loading and activating a CRM ODS (0CRM_PROH) in a process chain. The process chain is set up to deliver a message if the ODS activation fails, but this is not happening reliably.
For instance, yesterday a hex character came over from the source system causing ODS activation failure. Strangely enough, the overall status of the request in the monitor was green. Also, the activation step in the RSPC planning view was blue, not red as I would expect. You could really only see the failure by switching to log view in RSPC, where it was clear the ODS activation had failed.
Any thoughts on why the overall status of the request is green instead of red or yellow when the ODS activation fails? Or, any thoughts on why no message is going out? It's probably obvious that I'm new at interpreting the RSPC screens, so any general references on this topic would be helpful.
Thanks,
Bob
P.S. The ODS in question is set for automatic activation and automatic updating of data targets. We are running BW 3.10.21, BI_CONT 3.30.16.

Hello Diane
We also had this issue, but with an older version (30B patch 7, works OK w/ patch 14).
Anyway, to fix it:
- create a new variant (let's call it V1 as an example) for the SAP program RSODSACT1
- in your process chain, insert an ABAP call after the ODS load. Punch it RSODSACT1 as program and V1 for the variant
It worked for us
Good luck
Ioan

DSO activation step has been failing if i activate from process chain

Hello Frnds,
one of the DSO activation step is failing from process chain.
Problem : if i do the activation from PC then only it is failing
If i do the DSO activation manually then it is fine .
Kindly provide your suggestions on this issue.
Thanks & regards

does this create index is generating any issues ?

Can we call Function Module from Process Chain?

Hello experts,
I have a small question.
Can we call Function Module(SE37) from Process Chain?
If yes can you please provide some example link?
I m new to BI world.
regards

Hi,
Create one ABAP program and call the function module from that program. Check the link to know how to call a function module from an ABAP program.
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_wp/helpdata/en/d1/801edb454211d189710000e8322d00/content.htm
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_wp/helpdata/en/9f/db98ef35c111d1829f0000e829fbfe/content.htm
Then use process type "ABAP Program" in your process chain and add the program you have created. So then this program will be executed via process chain and this program will call the function module.

Alerts from Process chain to mobile

Hi Experts,
Can any one explain the pre-requisites for getting alerts to mobile from a process chain? We are working in a production environment BW3.5 where we are getting mails for failure or success from Process chain. Now we want to implement the SMS to mobile from Process chain.
Please give the pre-requisites. Surely points will be awarded.
Advance Thanks.

Calling r/3 program from process chain

Hi
I did the following steps to call r3 program from process chain :
Steps in R/3 system
1. Created a program which needs to be called from bw and at the end of the program i have calling 'RSPC_ABAP_FINISH' function module & passing the rfc id of bw system and bw process variant.
2. created a even in r/3 (please note that this is not there in bw)
3. Created a job and under start condiion selected 'after event' and mentioned the event created earlier. And under step1 enter the abap program to be executed
Steps in BW system :
1. Created a process chain
2. inserted a process type 'abap program' and selected the call mode 'Asynchronous' and under destination entered the RFC destination of R/3 system. Under scheduled program enterd the event name created in R/3
after executing above process chain, the abap program node is becoming green but the abap program is not getting executed in r/3 system. And also the process after the program node in process chain is not getting executed. The job which was created in r/3 still showing the released status
Kindly advice where i am wrong.
Thanks

Hierarchy Activation dumps when itu0092s executed from Process Chain. u0096 BI 7.0

Issue:
CostElement Hierarchy sign reversal is updated manually using ABAP Program to update sign reversal, which updates H and J tables and activates the Hierarchy using func module RSHIER_HIER_CHECK_AND_ACTIVATE.

Vijay,
Due to the age of this post I am assuming did you find a fix to the problem?
I actually would like more information about your abap program as we are trying to create a similar program.

Delete request in ODS and Cube from process chain

Hi Experts,
I have the next situation: I have a process that each month need to extract data with a selection criteria of fiscalperiod and fiscalyear, only I can maintain a data request with this selection. For this, I need a delete the old request when I am extracting new data with the same selection criteria, in ODS and Cube.
Is it possible?
Thank you very much for your collaboration.
Regards,
Jeysi

Hi Jeysi,
DSO works on 'Overwrite' principle.
You need to check your data source.(The images your data source sends).
Even if your updating the key figures using addition method, the data source will send you the correct images and correct delta to keep your DSO as a reflection of the latest image of your source system.
Hence you would not require to delete a request with the same selection in the DSO.
Moreover, if you have a cube at the downstream of the DSO, loading deltas from the DSO to cube would alone be sufficient and you would not need to use delete overlapping request.
However, if you are loading full request to the cube from the data source with the selections of fiscal year and fiscal period , then yes you do require delete overlapping selections.
In 3.x data flow, this was configured in infopackage in data target tab there is one column for automatic deletions, here you could set the conditions on which the overlapping request in the data target(cube) in this case should be deleted.
In process chain, you can use , delete overlapping request from the process chain.under application node, load process and post processing.(This can be configured for both infopackages and DTP's)
Hope this helps,
Regards,
Sunmit.

Error Warning MSG in Process Chain

Hi PPl,
I created a PC which loads from APO into ODS and then into an INFOCUBE. But when i check the PC it says the following error msg.
A type "Update ODS Object Data (Further Update)" process cannot precede process "Execute InfoPackage" var. ZPAK_3YOW9HXWVCZ6BVZO.
Also when i schedule the PC it works fine till ODS activation but then it doesn't work from there. Please help me withthis issue. Thank u
Shiv

Hello,
U have placed the (update cube from ODS) step before an infopackage step in the process chain.That is why it is not working.
Once the ODS activation is happening,the wrong sequence of steps is causing the chain to get stuck.
Please reorganize your chain as follows..
Steps should be in order..
-Start variant.
-Load data from APO to PSA(execute infopackage step)
-Update from PSA to ODS(read PSA and update data target step)
-ODS activation step
-Drop indexes on the cube.
-Delta update infopackage step for update from ODS to Cube(use infopackage step or use the 'update ODS object data(further update)' step..I think u can use one of the 2 processes..I have used the infopackage process)
-create indexes step
-build DB statistics step
(U do not need update from PSA step while updating data from ODS to Cube,as data loading when source system is myself BW system,is not done through PSA..usually).
hope it helps to solve the problem.
cheers,
Vishvesh

Problem delete chang log from process chain BW 7.01

We have upgrade BW from 3.5 version to 7.01 version two month ago.
Now I realized that the process chain running one a week to delete PSA and change log don't work well after upgrade.
The process chain end without errors (status is green), but the change log are not deleted.
In the test system I try to delete the Change Log in 2 mode:
1-with the variant "Deletion of Requests from the Change Log " and the datastoreobject = myods and all the option (correct request, incorrect request and "Delete Activation Requests Only"). In the log i see this messagge
The following excluded selections will be processed:
No excluded selections found
The following included selectiosn will be processed:
Pattern: DataStore = 0FIGL_O06, InfoArea = *
The following reqeust selections were set:
Number of days = 0000000010, Successful = X, Incorrect = X, Curr. Requests =
The following change logs were selected:
2-with the variant "Deletion of Requests from PSA " and the datasource= 8myods and all the option (correct request, incorrect request). In the log i see this messagge
The following excluded selections will be processed:
No excluded selections found
The following included selectiosn will be processed:
Pattern: DS = 80FIGL_O06, LS = BWTCLNT100, IS = , AC =
The following reqeust selections were set:
Number of days = 0000000015, Successful = X, Incorrect = X, Load requests =
The following PSAs were selected:
In both case the change log is not deleted.
I can delete the change log only using Manage screen of my ods and then using Menu -> Environment ->Delete Change Log Data.
Anna Maria

I see that this topic is still active/unanswered...
We're having the same problem, but not just changelogs, also for PSAs. We have a weekly process chain that does housekeeping on our BW system, cleaning up PSAs and changelogs, compressing cubes, realigning time-dep masterdata and renewing indexes.
The PSA chain runs fine and about 90% of all PSAs get deleted, but there are some datasources (all of them are of type 8* datamart datasources) that don't get their PSAs deleted. It says "The following PSAs were selected:" and then nothing happens...
I tried all tickbox combinations and checked that there are no PSA entries blocked by invalid partitions. Manual deletion (via "manage" in the datasource) works fine, but is tedious and time consuming.
Also, most of the 8* datasource PSAs do get deleted. Just a handful (+/- 25) get skipped somehow.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Eduard
PS: We're still running 3.5-style backend dataflow, but will eventually get converted to transformations and DTPs. But that's not on our agenda (yet).

Process Chain Error while activating DSO

Hello.
1st, let me say that I'm pretty new to BI so I apologize for the stupid question :-S
I have a process chain (Warehouse Mangement) that failed this morning at the DSO data activation step. It's simply because some entries have lowercase value in a field that should not. I know how easy this is to fix in the transformation but my problem is more on how to fix the actual fail of the process chain. Can I edit the "non-activated" data in the DSO (only 2-3 records that I need to put in uppercase) and "repair" my process chain or should I proceed another way?
Thanks for your help.

Hi John.
If guess your Process Chain process ended in "Red color". Once you fix the error you can try to make "right-click" on the process with error and select "Repair". If this operation is "supported" by the activation process you won't have error.
But I really believe that you'll have to erase the request and launch the complete process (o set of related processes) once again. It's possible that the data you want its already in the NEW-DATA table of your ODS.
This tables is the following. /BIC/A<your ods tech-name>40
Hope it helps

Infopackage returns 0 when triggered from process chain

I have an Infopackage triggered by process chain (say PC A) which is further triggered by other meta-chains.
So PC A, is triggered by PC B, and PC B is triggered by PC C.
Daily it returns 0 records.
However, if I run the process chain manually, that is PC A, the infopackage returns correct number of records.
What may be the cause?
Rusyinni

Hi ,
When you are executing through PC then it is running with the user id ALEREMOTE because of not having proper authorization it picking 0 records but when you run the same with your ID manually then you are getting the data for the same .
You need to get in touch with the Basis team to check for the authorization for these 2 ID's .
From my point you can use SU01 to get the information for all the profiles associated with the ID and then with RSECADMIN you can check for the Tcodes and related authorization activity associated with the ID.
Please check and updated accordingly later .
Thanks
Kamal

Unable to find DTP from Process chain after SPS14

Hi BI-experts,
After applying SPS14 to our development and our test systems we are experiencing problems with our process chains. The latest problem is that after transporting one process chain (with dtp's) from dev to test the process chain states that the dtp does not exist in active version on test system. In the test system the process chain points to the wrong dtp technical name. The technical name it points to in test system is the techincal name of the DTP in development system. The dtp gets assigned a different name when transported to test, hence the reference to dtp is wrong in test.
I have tried the following:
- Reactivate the dtp on test- No success
- Deleting the dtp from test and transporting it and PC again - No
success
- Reactivating the PC and DTP on dev and transporting it again - No
sucess
Please help.

If anyone else experience this problem I can inform you that implementing note 1147587 solved it.

Error msg in process chain

hi guys,
appended a process chain with process type compress,it shows fiine while checking & actvating,but while running it shows the error"Job BI_PROCESS_LOADING could not be activated
(return code 8)".kindly let me know if it is a known error.
Regards
Kishore

Hi,
This error code 8 comes when there is an error while scheduling a job. check the background user and its properties that schedule the job. Also look into the log of the error and see what it says. Background user should have USER TYPE set as SYSTEM.
Hope it helps. Assign points if helpful.

Issue with ABAP program execution from process chains

Hi All:
We have a process chain with 3 steps, each of them executing the same program with three different variants. The program is ftp's the file from APO's dataexchange (mount) to another ftp server. The first variant transfers file A to a directory in the external ftp server (say /X) . The second and the third variants are supposed to transfer different files, B and C to the same directory.
That is where the problem is. After the process chain is successful, I see two files B and C but the contents are same and that of C. So, if I switch the steps in the PC to bring in A then C and then B, I see files B and C with content of C. I tried C then A then B. I see the file names correct but now the contents are A, A then B.
Have any of you come across this issue? Do you know that these is an existing problem? IF you have a solution, pl. let me know.
Thanks
Narayanan

Narayanan,
Instead of doing it in three steps - would it be possible for you to have one UNIX script or equivalent doing the above and calling the same from your process chain ...?
We do a lot of FTPs but then our file names are standard and we have a UNIX script for the same executed using a system command through a process chain and it has been working without issues for the past 1 year ...
Maybe I have not got your situation properly ... some more detail on the program details and what you are doing in more detail would help.... also SP levels please..

Send Message from Process Chain Step without Process Log

We send a mail message, depending on the success or failure of the process chain step, to user list.
When the message is sent not only custom message but also the status information and the process log are sent.
Our users are only interested about the result of the chain and they don' t want to view all technical information.
Is it possible to send message without process log?
Regards

Hi,
Take 2 process(red and green line) from each of the process in the process Chain, one is for sucessfull and other is for failure and at the end of the proces chain, just put all failure process to the OR and have add a ABAP Program (with Not Sucessfull) and then just put all sucessfull process to the AND and have add a ABAP Program (with Sucessfull) .
This wil send the mail to the users, when ever there is failure in PC any where, or sends a mail ..if the process chain completes sucessfully.
If you want only add the send of mail option at the end of the process chain, we can just add 2 process (red and green line) and have same flow as above. so that.. it will only sends mail..when there is failure or sucessfull of the process chian.
Hope it helps ......
