Process chain cancelling

Hello,
As part of our nightly loads in our bw production system, we have batch job scheduling software that calls an initial process chain (ZRT_CTRLM_MD_RUN_1). That initial chain then calls our main master data chain (ZRT_MD_DAILY_1). The initial chain contains a start process with setting 'Start using meta chain or API' and a process to call the main process chain.
The initial chain sometimes fails on the step where it calls the main process chain(ZRT_MD_DAILY_1). The main process chain does not actually start when this happens, so we just run it manually.
This problem occurs sporatically, and there seems to be no pattern. In the past month, its happened approximately 5 times. Most nights, the main process chain is called successfully.
I looked in ST22 and here is some of that info:
Error analysis
    Short text of error message:
    No start information on process CHAIN
Technical information about the message:
     Diagnosis
         For process CHAIN, variant ZRT_MD_DAILY_1, the end should be logged
         for instance 442ZMLDOQOAP58NTEMM1Y31BM under the log ID
         442ZM01K2JZTEMMX743Y0MLPU. However, no start has been logged for    this process.
     System response
         No log has been written. The process (and consequently the chain)
         has been terminated.
     Procedure
         If possible, restart the process.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Although this problem does not happen very often, we would like for it to not happen at all. And currently we have no explanation.
Thanks
Charla

Does the Main Process Chain run other subchains? If so, you may have an issue of not enough background processes available at the time the main chain starts.

How to stop/cancel Process Chain in BI 7.0

Hi,
Could you tell me how to stop/cancel a process chain that hangs with status yellow or green in BI 7.0? There was an easy option to do it in 3.x, but I cannot find a similar option in 7.0.
What happens is that at random our process chains hang at a certain variant with either yellow or even green status and do not proceed further. What happens is that in a couple of hours another pchain run occurs and it executes fine. Then again at random (might be the same day or the next day) the process chain hangs again. I think that all those "hanged" pchains pile up in the queue, so that it cause other future pchains to hang as well at some point. So, is there anyway to stop/cancel these zombie process chains when it stops at a particular event RSPROCESS in BI 7?
Thank you,
AG

Hi Frank,
Thanks for your reply. I have a few questions.
1)SM37 -->Kill Job
We cannot do that because the job has already finished.
2)SM50/sm66- ->Kill process
There are no hanged processes to kill
3)RSPC>Job Log>Make the process RED forecefully
How do you do that exactly?
4)RSPC>Process chain> main Menu"Remove from Scheduling" OR
5)se37-->RSPC_API_CHAIN_INTERRUPT
give RFC BW system name(technical) and process chain name(technical) - we can do this, but what exactly would it accomplish. Would it remove the process chain from any runs in the future or also any hanged ones in the past? An how is this step different from #4?
Thank you,
AG

Cancel the scheduled jobs for process chains - urgent

Hi,
How do I cancel the scheduled jobs for process chains which are going to run tonight.
thanks,
Radha

Hello,
Go into transaction code RSPC and then select the particular process chain by going into the edit mode and in the menu...
Look for Execution --> Remove from Schedule.
Let me know if that answered your question.
Thanks

Process chains always cancelled directly

Holá Gurus,
while executing a process chains, it is always cancelled directly. The log shows the following message:
Process ABAP, variant /SIE/RT_PV_CLOSE_REQUEST_EFC is not scheduled waiting for event RSPROCESS 44IM3WWNHW3Q6IAMA88TS086H
Message no. RSPC006
Diagnosis
Process ABAP (variant /SIE/RT_PV_CLOSE_REQUEST_EFC) needs to be started. According to the process chain maintenance, it needs to be scheduled while waiting for event /SIE/RT_PV_CLOSE_REQUEST_EFC 44IM3WWNHW3Q6IAMA88TS086H. However, this is not the case.
System response
The chain is terminated.
Procedure
In order to complete the chain run, follow these steps:
1. Ensure that Start Using Metachain or API is selected in the variant maintenance for the start process. By doing so, you ensure that the chain is not restarted.
2. Schedule the process chain.
3. In the log view for the process chain maintenance, choose View -> Merge Active Version, and end the incorrect process or using the respective context menu entry.
Does anyone have an idea, how to solve this issue?
Thx in advance!

Hi,
You can have a look at the thread below - I think it'll help:

Local Process Chains are cancelled

In our system there is one metachain that triggers 3 subchains in parallel. Sometimes these process chains are executed and sometimes they are simply cancelled. This seems to happen randomly.
When a subchain is cancelled, the log shows:

=> it just ends before all jobs are scheduled, and the subchain is not activated and scheduled anymore like it normally should be.
Thank you for your help!

Hi,
I have seen this happening quite a few times. You can have a wait time for 2 of the local chains say 120 secs and then see how it performs.
Also check if all your local chains are active.

Canceled Status in Job Detail, Process Chain triggering w/event

Hi All,
I have created event, PC and trigger event with SM64 or with ABAP, everything is ok
if I activate and Schedule PC, I see BI_PROCESS_TRIGGER job with released status, and when I trigger the event nothing is happened but when I checked the Job detail I see canceled status job.
I donu2019t understand why this problem occurs ?
I can trigger the event but before event trigger the PC, scheduled job detail directly turn to the chancel status.
if any one give me a clue to solve this problem I will appreciate
Note : No Job log !!!
Thanks
Ali

Ali,
Check authorizations.
Try to run process chain with out event(immediate) and check.

Error while copying a process chain.

Hi All,
I get an error message while copying the process chain in Production environment.It says "SAP System has status 'not modifiable'".Choose display object or Cancel.I hope this is because of the config. that there is no option to create anything .
Please confirm.
Regards,
Shailja.

Hi Shailja,
That means that you can not change that type of object on Quality or Productive server.
Go to Administrator Workbench, sub menu Transport Connection, there you will find a button called Object Changeability (with a truck). Click on that and change the types of the concerned objects to 'Every changeable' in your case.
Beware that you must change the status not with a double click but with a right click
also refer the following thread you can find your solution
Error message after process chain transport
Hope this helps

'AND' process in a process chain failure - need help

For the first time and out of no where, two separate 'AND' processes in two separate process chains failed on two separate days. It displayed error the same messages in both isntances as below. It seems that when the first load completed and the second was still in progress, this 'AND' attempted excecute and failed.
I had to manually resume the chain by setting the 'AND' status'to 'G' in RSPCPROCESSLOG table. I also plan to recreate those 'AND'.
But did anyone here experience this problem and know the root cause?
Thanks for any assistance!
Julian
This AND process is not waiting for event RSPROCESS, parameter
Job cancelled after system exception ERROR_MESSAGE

Thanks, Shambhu!
I am planning to create new ones. But my problem is that I hate to recreate all 'AND's I have in all our chains. There are a lot of them. But if I don't, I have no idea which is the next victim ...

Long running process chains - No Dump / error message.

Hello,
We have defined some steps in process chain that contains default macros. We mainly included that to ensure calculations happens even when users dont open or access the DP Planning book.
Issue is, these steps are running endless. normally it takes some 400 n odd seconds. But its running for the last 60000 secs.
No. of Planning objects or CVC is 2027 only. I had to cancel them and tried to re run this step or the whole chain no luck....
I have checked active jobs in SM37, there is none. So ideally there is no load on the system. Also no change to Macro or CVC's has been done. there was only one Transport that was moved and it was on the product master.
Also I have done the time series, Live cache, PA Consistency checks. only in Live Cache there was some Superflous time series and it was corrected.
I am not getting a clue of why its happening nor where to start the analsysis.
Any help or suggestion is greatly appreciated.
Currently I have made the subsequent events as independent,& the chain is running execpting this step.
Many Thanks
Aswath Ram.

Thanks for the reply,
These are custom macros. It adds two KF and copies to another.
The no. of periods is 24 time periods and roughly no. of CVC is 2100.
Another thing, this process chain has been running for last 5 to 6 months with no issues. Since sunday, its messing up....
I am doubting if its taking time read data from table or live cache. or is it because of some indexing. Not sure how to check that.
have asked Basis to check the system performance, if it might cause this issue.
Many Thanks
Aswath

One of the APD Process Chains fails.

Hi All,
I have created two different process chain (PC1 and PC2 for example)which use program RSAN_PROCESS_EXECUTE to execute the two diiferent APD (APD1 and APD2 for example) . PC1/PC2 executes APD1/APD2 respectively.Both the process chain have the same trigger event.
The issues is that only one of the process runs successfully and the other fails at the program RSAN_PROCESS_EXECUTE
For example if the PC1 runs PC2 fails at the program RSAN_PROCESS_EXECUTE and vice versa.
The Error message it displays is
1) Job started     S     00     516
2) Step 001 started (program RSPROCESS, variant &0000000155350, user ID ALEREMOTE)      S     00     550
3) Spool request (number 0000030567) created without immediate output       S     SY     355
4) Processing completed with errors. See spool list     E     RSAN_PR     22
5) Job cancelled after system exception ERROR_MESSAGE     A     00     564
Thanks
Rajiv

hi,
To check the detailed error message for failure of APD, check in RSANWB, goto that APD and click on monitor.
You will find the spool over there.
Check the error message and let us know, so that we can try to help you out.
It can be due to authorization issue or due to low memory.

Process Chain hangs on AND process

Help Super gurus!
I've tried several versions of a chain that loads multiple InfoPackages serially then multiple DTP in parallel using filtering from the PSA to a DSO. All load successfully. Then I have the DTPs all meet at an 'AND' process before processing should continue to a cube.
The 'AND' process also shows green but it does not continue to the next process step. It just stops there, no more jobs running, no yellow, nothing. It thinks it's all done, everything after that is still blue.
Why does it hang there and what can I do to get it to continue?
Thanks,
Al
Points available.

Hi,
Not sure what is the root cause in your case.
Try this. It may work. Normally this is done after a step turns red and no repeat is available.
Method 1 (when it fails in a step/request)
/people/siegfried.szameitat/blog/2006/02/26/restarting-processchains
How is it possible to restart a process chain at a failed step/request?
Sometimes, it doesn't help to just set a request to green status in order to run the process chain from that step on to the end.
You need to set the failed request/step to green in the database as well as you need to raise the event that will force the process chain to run to the end from the next request/step on.
Therefore you need to 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.
Thanks,

DSO activation in Process Chains - takes long time

Dear All,
We have included DSO activation in Process Chains. This process takes a long time to execute. We manually cancel the corresponding process in Process Overview and repeat it from chain. The chain runs daily and this issue also occurs on a daily basis.
Does anyone one of you have an idea of how to deal with this performance issue?
Regards.

Figure out in which class does your process fall in:
Class A- High Priority
Class B- Medium Priority
Class C- Least Priority
Background processes
Class A jobs
The number of work processes reserved for job class A is a subset of the number of background processes.
You should only reserve work processes for job class A if it makes sense within your system organization. Work processes reserved for class A jobs are no longer available for job classes B or C.
Set parallel processing for a specific BW process in the (variant) maintenance of the process
Call the function for setting the parallel processes.
You can call the function in the process variant maintenance of a process chain or in the process maintenance. The function call varies for the different BW processes.
For example, in the data transfer process you call the function with Goto--> Background Manager Settings.
The Settings for Parallel Processing dialog box appears
Under Number of Processes, define the maximum number of work processes that should be used to process the BW process.
If you enter 1, the BW process is processed serially.
If you enter a number greater than 1, the BW process is processed in parallel
In the Parallel Processing group frame, make the relevant settings for parallel processing in the background:
Enter a job class for defining the job priority.
The job priority defines how the jobs are distributed among the available background work processes
In the group frame Parallel Processing, you can define whether parallel processing should take place in dialog work processes or in background work processes for the processes ODSACTIVAT, ODSSID and ODSREQUDEL for the DataStore object
Transport:
The entries in tables RSBATCHPARALLEL and RSBATCHSERVER are written on a transport request of the Change and Transport System.

Process chain taking long time

Hi,
I developed a Process chain. In developemnt for Completion of the Update rules(Start routine) its taking 60m( for around 50,000 records).
After transporting the Process chain to Production for Start routine completion (For 1,70,000 records) its taking 7hrs and sometimes its failing as the "Process is Over due" and sometimes due to "Short dump".
How to handle this.........
Thanks

Hi js,
Check the ST22... Any dumps
Check out for the short dump in source system and try loading the delta again
then
I have got the problem when u have posted...but little later.Even I was about to post the issue.. Actually my issue was...
My PC is like this
1) Start Process
2) Delete index
3) Load IP
4) delete overlapping request
5) create Index
6) ABAP program
Process chain hangs at Overlapping requests process type but the status was yellow. And the previous step (3) was success. From there its not moving to next further steps.. But the Job in SM37 was canceled.
I saw Ur post and saw the note 833168 and which matches exactly our issue.
Like we run the PCs thru the TIDAL where due to some problems PC got triggered twice... I can see the two logs in the PC. (Log view) and two requests at RSMO.
Everything was recovered again thru manual steps. This is the first time we encountered... the note helped us ... We now are very cautious about the Tidal runs...
Now PC is running perfectly
we have instructed the Supported team to make the necessary changes or fix this issues in TIDAL...
i hope this is helpful to u
bye now

Process chain taking long time to complete

Hi,
I am having following issues in the process chain daily loads
1) The PSA deletion is taking very long time on fridays only (nearly 3 hrs). Other days it gets deleted in 1 hr max.
2) Just to load 381 records via dtp from DSO to cube takes nearly 2 hrs(Delta load). No major routines are written in the transformation.
How to analyse a process in process chain which does not fail, but takes very long time to complete. Is there any tool or transaction in BW which can help us to analyse why the process chain takes so long time to complete in different days. One day it completes in 8 hrs, another day it takes 12 hrs.
None of the transactions, SM37, SM50, SLG1, LOGS etc are giving me any help to analyse this issue.
If it fails we have error logs to check and analyse, but without failing how we can analyse and fix the delay and reduce the time of loading data. Please guide me.
Thanks in advance.
Vishwanath

Hi.......
1) This might be due to the poor performance of the system ..there wont be enoughwork processes avilabe in teh system .- What needs to be done if it does not have enough work processes available. Though I can find that lots of dialog processes were free during these jobs as well some Background processes were also free.?
Look to increase Work Process.......................u can do two things..............U can cancel some Job...........which r not progressing...........or which r not very important for the time being..........
Or if possible........u can increase number of servers..........
Look When a Job will start...............first it will run in background.............u can start in in Dialog also..........but for Dialogue after some time ..load will go to time out.................now many Child jobs will be created for a single background jobs..............they may run in Dialogue..........u can monitor them through SM66............
2) Check ST04 for lock waits and dead locks ..if the same lock persist for long then check with basis team.
What needs to be conveyed to the basis team when these locks happen?
generally these will be temporary Locks.............after some time locks will be realeased..............if they persist for a long time...........then u can contact Basis people..........Or if u can understand that which job is creating the lock.............like if u double click on the job >> click on Job details...............from there u will find the PID................copy that.............and check in ST04..........whether they matches or not..............now suppose it match.............and u know that job is not very important............then u can cancel the job.............
Check also the table space availba in St04 . the usuage should nt be more than 90%
What needs to be conveyed to the basis team if the usage is more than 90%.?
U can ask them to increase the Table space........
