Process chain with attributes

Hi Experts,
i built a process chain with 4 Masterdata.
I beginn with start and for each master data, i set up an infopackage and at the end , i created an Attribute with the 4 Masterdata als Infojects.
1. When i save, the order changed.
All the masterdata could not be upload.
How can i built a better process chain with Attibutes?
Thanks for your help.
Cheers
Pat

Change the below chain accordingly, just add IP's for 3 more Infoobjects.
Start
Infopackge1A(Attr)|Infopackge2A(Attr)
Infopackge1B(Txts)|Infopackge2B(Txts)
Infopackge1C(Hier)______|
\___________________|
__\___________________|

Error in process chain with attribute change runs

We have one warning is coming in one process chain :A type "Attribute Change Run" process cannot precede process "Execute InfoPackage"
We checked the Process View , we found that there are number of attribute change run after each scheduling of Info package with different datasource but for same data target.
How to remove this warning .
Some onsite person has added this extra Attribute Change Run recently.

Hi Surendra,
If it is the same Info-object that is getting loaded through different Info-packages then have only 1 "Attribute Change Run" process at the end. You can ignore the warning.

Hi i have 50 infoobjects as part of my aggregates and in that 10 infoobjects have received changes in masterdata.so in my process chain the Attribute change run in running for a long time.can i kill the job and repeat the same.

Hi,
I believe this would be your Prod system, so don't just cancel it but look at the job log. If it is still processing then don't kill it and wait for the change run to complete but if you can see that nothing is happening and it is stuck for a long time then you can go ahead and cancel it.
But please be sure, as these kind of jobs can create problems if you cancel them in the middle of a job.

Transportation of process chains with ABAP variants

Hi,
Could you please help me in finding out how to transport process chains with ABAP variants.
I can transport them, however when transporting them, I overwrite the already existing variants, which is very unfortunate...
Could you please advice.
Thank you in advance!
/Brian

Hi Ramesh,
Option 1:
You can directly create the process chain in Production. Most of the times ppl do have access to create a process chain in Prod. Kindly check whether you have the authorization to do so.
Option 2:-
I did not suggest to delete the old info-packages in QA and Prod. Let them continue to exist but you may not use them once the process chain is in place. You create the process chain, test it and move it up to Prod. I dont' think the new infopackages will hamper your delta load. The delta is not dependent on the infopackage.
If I were you, I would try the second option and if it does not work during testing then go for the first option.

Using Planning Sequence in a Process Chain With input variants

Hi,
I have a COPY planning function which has multiple FROM and TO options like (From:Fiscal Year To Fiscal Year, From Version TO Version). In the layout they select the options for which they want to COPY and execute the function.
How can I replicate the same approach in a process chain with the varaints, how can i create the FROM and TO variables in the process chain.
Thanks
Rashmi.

Hi.
You can save variable variant for planning sequence in modeler and then use it in process chain.
In process chain you choose "Execute planning sequence" and add planning sequence with variant.
All this if you using IP instead BPS.

Trigger a program in ECC from BI using a process chain with out Program

Hi,
How can we trigger a program which is in ECC system from BI using a process chain with out writing any program.
is it possible? if yes how can we achieve this.
Thanks & Regards,
Madhu

Madhu,
Not possible, indeed need event or Remote Function Call using an ABAP program.
Other option would be to use a 3rd party tool like Control-M to run programs/jobs on whatever system in your landscape (but requires investments of course).

Pointers for optimizing system performance (run time) while running DP process chain with parallel processing

Hi Experts,
We are running APO DP process chain with parallel processing in our company, we are experiencing some issues regarding run time of process chain, need your help on below points;
- What are the ways we can optimize process chain run time.
- Special points we need to take care of in case of parallel processing profiles used in process chain.
- Any specific sequence to be followed for different processes in process chain - if there is some best practice followed.
- Any notes suggesting ways to improve system performance for APO version 7 with different enhancement packs 1 and 2.
Any help will be really appreciated.
Regards

HI Neelesh,
There are many ways to optimize performance of the process chains (background jobs) in APO system.
Firstly I would recommend you to identify the pain areas (steps) which are completing with more runtimes. Then each one of the step has got different approaches to decrease the runtime.
Like you may end up with steps like infopackage executions, DTPs, DP mass processing jobs etc which might be running with more runtimes. So now target each one of them differently and find out the ways to optimize. At the same time the approach you follow should be technically possible with basis perspective (system load and utilization) as well.
And coming to parallel processing, you can use parallel processing for different for different jobs. You can further r explore on the same using parallel processing. Like loading an infocube, mass processing, infopackage execution, DTP, TSCOPY etc.
Check the below link for more info

Let me know if you require further info.

Process chain with ABAP reports included

Hello !
I need help regardin an issue.
I have a process chain with the processes:
1) Start
2) Process type ABAP program -> report that has a wait instruction
3) Process type ABAP program -> report that has a system message , based on a first variant of the report
4) Process type ABAP program -> report that has a wait instruction
5) Process type ABAP program -> report that has a system message , based on a second variant of the report
6) Process type ABAP program -> report that has a wait instruction
7) Process type ABAP program -> report that has a system message , based on a third variant of the report
report that has a system message : has 3 variants
The reports work each individual, but in the chain , when I execute, I must see some system messages and there is nothing
I assigned for the processes the right reports, including the variants for the processes 3, 5, 7.
Do you have some clue? I can't imagine why they don't work in this process chain.
Thank you.

In RSPC transaction -
create your process chain
To include ABAP program --- expand General Services --- Select ABAP program -
drag and drop it in right panel
Create process variant -
provide program name and program variant(if exists)

Copy process Chain with Meta chain

Hi experts,
how to copy the process chain with Meta chain, since the process chain which I planing to copy it hold meta chain and also local chain, I coping for change the technical name for the PC, is it possible to copy meta chain and local chain along with PC?
and plz breif me about meta chain and local chain why we have to use them and where we have to use them?
plz explain with scenario.
Thanks,

Hi,
Once after the copy of the chains you need to change the start variant with the new one as the same start process can not be used in two process chains at the same time.
So Once after changing the start process for your MC and LC then you are good to go ahead to trigger the same.
If you trigger the MC then it will take care of trigerring the LC automatically.
In terms of changes in the process chain, you can get the last changed details in the log view but you can track the timestamp of changes from the process chain tables like (RSPC* and then press F4). But you can not track which process has been changed in this.
Thanks

Process chain error - Attribute change run

Hi,
I am creating a Process chain to load 4-5 master data with its text.
I get a error while executing :
it says : Attribut change run need to be set up.
what should i do
1 :where should i set it up and how ??
2 :why is that needed ??
I included it in the Process chain and still it says that i need to set it up in the administrative workbench .
Please help me understand .
Thanks,
GG

Hi , when i execute a Process chain it stops at the A Master data load package and i get that red.
if i double click it ,
It says that
Attributes are not yet maintained.
If i see the details,it says
Diagnosis
     The attributes have either not yet been created or activated.
     The data cannot be taken from the source system without maintained
     attributes. Therefore, this data request is not possible.
Procedure
     Maintain the attributes for this master data-InfoSource in the
     Administrator Workbench and then activate them.

Scheduling of process chain with background job

Hello All,
I have scheduled the process chains through background jobs. I have copied the meta chain and created seven background jobs that is from Monday till sunday. The problem is most frequently the job gets cancelled with the message
Process CHAIN, variant PAA1_GS001 is not scheduled waiting for event RSPROCESS 44NRPDWZ7CQUJ92ATDTY6368H.
This is the variant for the next process after the start process. I tried by giving merge active versions, but one day the background job runs fine , but the next day it gets cancelled.
If anyone has faced this issue before kindly let me know.
Regards,
Karthik.

Hi,
It seems to be there may be in probelm in Varients, so create a separate Varient for each PC and then activate the PC and execute.

Monitoring BI PROCESS CHAIN with Solution Manager BPMON

Hello,
I'm trying to setup the monitoring of BI process chain using the BPMON
I setup the process chain monitoring using BPmon application monitoring "BI Process Chain Monitoring" (BOBIPCMO)
but than I'm not able to read the process chain names,steps,and variant from satellite system
On other systems,using different application monitor (like PI MONITOR) is working fine
i'm using the latest plug-in ST-A/PI 01L_BCO700 on entire landscape
My bi system is 7.01 EHP1 sp4
solution Manager is 7.01 EHP1 SP20
Any suggestiions?
Thanks
Marco

Hello Marco,
the problem is that the Process Chain monitor is not yet available with ST-A/PI 01L*. Unfortunately the empty hull that you see during the setup was shipped without the proper content. The Process Chain monitor will be properly shipped with the next ST-PI and ST-A/PI combination in Q2/2010.
Sorry for any inconvenience caused.
If you want to have this monitor earlier on it could be implemented via Customer Exit in case that you have some MaxAttention or Safeguarding engagement.
Best Regards

Selection screen to run process chain with variables

Hello Experts,
I have a business requirement where i need to create have a selection screen for the user to input the fscal year and fiscal variant.Based on the input, a process chain, which has a dtp to load to open hub will execute. The dtp will be fed with the input in the selection screen.
Any idea how to go along with the codings.
Points will be assigned.
Thanks

Hi Prabhakar,
Whenever you do a BDC recording and create a program to handle BDC, an include BDCRECX1 is added automatically in the program. It contains the code for processing BDC.
In the include, you have code for subroutines like BDC_DYNPRO,BDC_FIELD. And in the main program , you have to call these functions in order to perform BDC.
Since your requirement is to do BDC processing when an event occurs, you have to hard code it.
Copy paste the code for BDC_DYNPRO and BDC_FIELD like this in the screen like this.
FORM bdc_dynpro USING program
                        dynpro.
CLEAR bdcdata.
bdcdata-program = program.
bdcdata-dynpro   = dynpro.
bdcdata-dynbegin = 'X'.
APPEND bdcdata.
ENDFORM.                    " bdc_dynpro
*&      Form bdc_field
      text
     -->P_0075   text
     -->P_0076   text
FORM bdc_field USING fnam
                      fval.
DATA : nodata VALUE '/'.
IF fval <> nodata.
    CLEAR bdcdata.
    bdcdata-fnam = fnam.
    bdcdata-fval = fval.
    APPEND bdcdata.
ENDIF.
ENDFORM.
So what you have to do is
1) First do the BDC recording using SHDB and create a program , which contains automatically generated code for the recording.
2) In the previous program where you need to code for BDC handling corresponding to events, just copy paste the code in the newly created program like
perform bdc_dynpro      using 'SAPLMGMM' '0060'.
perform bdc_field       using 'BDC_CURSOR'
                              'RMMG1-MATNR'.
3) If you want the processing to be in foreground ,
write the statement
ws_mode = 'A'.
    CALL TRANSACTION 'MM02' USING bdcdata MODE ws_mode
                          MESSAGES INTO messtab.
(In this case , the transaction is MM02).
This will work.

SP.

Process Chains with Event Trigger

Hi Experts,
Happy Valentine day.
I have a requirement to run a Process Chain using Event IDs. Now these Evenrt ID should be triggered by a Program which raises this Eovent. Then this Program should be scheduled in BAckground to run periodically. Has anyone done this before. If yes, could you please shower some light on this topic with details on the steps.
Thanks
DV

Hi,
1)You can make the process chain to be trigered by an event.
You create user events in SM62. In SM62, next to "User even names", click on Maintain and press Enter. Click on the Create icon to create a new event (let's call it ZEVENT).
Next, in your process chain, change the Start variant to be scheduled "After event", and put in ZEVENT for the event name. Also, click on the "Periodic job" at the bottom. This will automatically reschedule the jobs for the process chain after it executes.
Next, create an ABAP program (let's call it Z_EVENT_RAISE) to call the function module BP_EVENT_RAISE. You're code can look like this:
codeREPORT Z_EVENT_RAISE.
PARAMETERS: P_EVENT LIKE TBTCO-EVENTID.
CALL FUNCTION 'BP_EVENT_RAISE'
EXPORTING
EVENTID = P_EVENT.
IF sy-subrc 0.
MESSAGE ID SY-MSGID TYPE SY-MSGTY NUMBER SY-MSGNO
WITH SY-MSGV1 SY-MSGV2 SY-MSGV3 SY-MSGV4.
ENDIF.[/code]
This ABAP program will prompt for an event name, so you will need to create a variant (let's call it ZEVENT) which will save the value of the event name (also ZEVENT). You will need the variant name to be able to trigger the event in a batch job.
Now all you need is the batch job. Use tcode SM36 to create a batch job where you call the ABAP program (Z_EVENT_RAISE) using the variant (ZEVENT).
Note, SM64 only triggers an event manually.
and you can copy this job to schedule it three times a day.
2)In the Start process of your process chain, select Direct Scheduling and then click the Change Selections icon. This will bring you to the Start Time window where you can put in the Date/Time you want to start your process chain. At the bottom of this window, click on the Periodic job box and you will notice another icon way at the bottom called Period Values. Click this to determine what frequency the job should be rescheduled (ie. daily, weekly, etc.).
3)you can do this by right-clicking on the start process, selection "Maintain Variant", choose "Direct Scheduling". Next select "Change Selections", pick your date and time, set your period values and you're done.
Thanks,
JituK

Issue in process chain with DTP after imported to production

Hi,
we have a issue with process chain.
after transportation DTP technical name is differ in prod and dev. process chain is went inactive.
i have read some related threads, i'm not find any suitable solution for this.
we don't have access to change process chain(they are not willing to open prod system)
could you please provide solution on this issue .
Thanks,
EDK....
Edited by: EdK666 on Oct 21, 2011 2:54 PM

Hi,
I have observed the behavior of changing technical name for DTP but still I think your process chain should not become inactive due to this. I think process chain somehow adjust the new technical name but anyways you should be able to change the DTP in process chain directly in production system.
If that is not possible you can just try re-transporting it.

Durgesh.
