Process Chains are running from 3 days

Hi BW experts,
Daily our process chains run in the night time.
But Friday's jobs are still running. So i stopped all process chains on saturday.
Friday's jobs did not finish till now. Still these are running. These are in active.
Some process chains are stopped at CREATE INDEXES.
Some process chains are stopped at ODS Activation.
These are in yellow status.
Please can anyone tell me the solution for this. I have to start our process chains today night.
How can i rectify this problem? Can we stop the yellow status jobs
Thanks & Regards
Anjali

Hi
check the loads in the process monitor whether it has completed or not??
Some times it will show yellow if it gets completed also.Otherwise check for the source systems from where u r getting data.There may be a problem with that.
Cheers

Process chains are not running in a given time.

Hi BI Experts, Good afternoon.
Daily we are running the process chains in the night time. And the first process chain starts at 22:30(master data loading).
But from 5 days onwards, our process chains are running in the morning time around 10AM.
We informed to our BASIS team but they could not do anything.
What may be the problem.
Can anyone tell me the solution?
Thanks in advance
Anjali

May be your chain was in the wait at the scheduled time, as there were no adequate processes available at the app server to take up your job.
Check with your Basis ( and also your users ); about the optimal time to schedule the job and reschedule your jobs.

Why the process chain always run twice when triggered from R3?

I run a program from R3 by calling the remote function 'RSSM_EVENT_RAISE' on BW to trigger an event and in turn the event on BW bring up the running of a process chain. But whenever I run the program on R3 to bring up the running of the process chain, I find the process chain always run twice at the same time. Does anybody knows the answer?
And also I would like to know the functionalities of the two picture buttons "Activate" and "Activate and Schedule" in process chain. In which case the "Activate" button should be used and in which case, the "Activate and Schedule" button should be used? If we click the Start variant of a process chain, then click "Change Selections" button which bring up the window "Start Time" where the buttons "Immediate", "Date/Time", "After job", and "After event" are listed at the top. If we modify at any of the above buttons, then after save this modification, we will have to click "Activate and Schedule" button to make it work, right?
Thanks a lot and everyone's idea is greatly appreciated!

Kevin, make sure there is only one job scehduled for the Start Process of your Process Chain. If you bring up the Process Chain (not the log view), right click on the Start Process and select "Displaying Scheduled Job(s)...". There should only be one scheduled job with name BI_PROCESS_TRIGGER. If there is more than one, then when triggered, it would execute more than once at the same time. If there is only one job, then maybe your R/3 program is triggering the event more than once?
As far as the Start conditions for the Start Process, it works off the same principals as a scheduled job. These start conditions determine when or how the Process Chain is to be executed. You also have control over frequency. These start conditions determine the scheduling of the Start Process of your Process Chain.
When you schedule a Process Chain, a separate scheduled job is created for "each" process in the Chain. BW controls the triggering of these jobs based upon how the processes in the Chain are linked. All the jobs associated with Process Chains have strict naming conventions and all begin with BI_PROCESS_... If you use SM37 to view all jobs that begin with BI_PROCESS_ you will find alot of scheduled jobs associated with your process chains. Each job represents one of the processes within your process chains.
Does this help?
Another tip might be to trigger the event manually in BW (use tx SM64). If the process chain executes twice again, then maybe there is a separate scheduled job in BW that triggers the process chain that is triggered by the same event as the start process of the process chain.

Process Chain excessive run time

Hi all
Would like to know if any of you have experienced what we are experiencing.
We have a process chain that runs every night. It is running the same master data which usually only takes seconds.
However, on occassions, the same amount of data is taking over 18 hours to load.
When we look on monitor in the detail tab, it shows that it has only taken seconds but the header tab is showing 18 hours. This then delays any other subsequent process chains from being kicked off.
We are investigating as to why this is happening but any comments would be appreciated.
thanks in advance
Sandra

Hi Sandra,
I can suggest you few things which may help u...
1) Increase the parallel processing during extraction
2) Selective loading.
3) Every job will be having a priority (A, B, C A being the highest and C being the lowest), choose this based on your scenario.
4) Check with basis for the sizing of your server.
5) You can increase the number of background processes during data loads. This can be done by making dialog processes as Background processes.
For this you need basis inputs. (This is done in some profile settings by making the system behave differently during loads. (something like day mode/night mode))
6) There are some maintenance jobs that should run regularly in any SAP box to ensure proper functioning.
7) Use of start routines is preferred instead of update routines.
Assign points if these help u...

KK.

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.

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:
Job started
Step 001 started (program RSPROCESS, variant &0000000020259, user ID ALEBW)
Version 'M' of chain YLOAD__MD_DAILY_II was saved without checking
Version 'A' of chain YLOAD__MD_DAILY_II was saved without checking
The Chain Was Removed From Scheduling
Program RSPROCESS successfully scheduled as job BI_PROCESS_ATTRIBCHAN with ID 00031601
Program RSPROCESS successfully scheduled as job BI_PROCESS_ATTRIBCHAN with ID 00031602
Program RSPROCESS successfully scheduled as job BI_PROCESS_HIERSAVE with ID 00031603
Program RSPROCESS successfully scheduled as job BI_PROCESS_HIERSAVE with ID 00031603 *double line?*
Event RSPROCESS with parameter D06UCIJRD3XF6BKX7NVMYTBR3 successfully triggered

Chain YLOAD__MD_DAILY_II Was Activated And Scheduled
Program RSPROCESS successfully scheduled as job BI_PROCESS_TRIGGER with ID 00031602
Job finished
=> 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.
Bye

R3 job completion trigger a process chain to run on BW

Hello,
I was wondering how I can trigger a process chain to run on BW 3.5 after a SM37 job completes on R3?
I have been searching the forums and the web, but I haven't found what I am looking for.
Thanks,
Nick

Hello Pramod,
I would need a more detailed suggestion to implement, but thanks for starting the discussion.
I thought it would be as easy as this
1. Create an event in BW
2. Have a process chain that starts when that event is raised.
Having implemented and successfully tested steps 1 and 2, the rest should be simple (I was able to raise the event on BW locally and the chain did run as expected)
3. On R3, create a small ABAP program that calls the BP_EVENT_RAISED Function Module on R3.
4. Pass that Function Module the following parameters
A. My BW system name, and
B. The event name that I created on my BW system
5. Add that ABAP program to the end of the job on R3.
It doesn't work though! The event i created on BW, doesn't seem to exist from R3's perspective. I was hoping it was as easy as that. Hopefully I am missing something simple, but so far R3 does not want to cause the event on BW to be raised.
Thanks,
Nick

How to setup process chains to run during office times every 30 minutes

I want to set up a process chain to run only during 8 am to 6 pm MST every 30 minutes. How do I do such a setting in the process chain?
Regards
Ram

Hello,
You can do this by creating a daemon chain which runs once every 30 mins and triggers a event.
You can use the event triggered by the daemon chain in the start variant of the PC which you require to run every 30 mins.
But before doing that, make sure that one run of your process chain completes definetly in 30 mins.
Let me know if you are looking for additional information.

How do i stop two processes that are running in activity monitor

how do i stop two processes that are running in Activity Monitor took one out of trash and it says preparing to move desktop still running with another one been running for hrs now want to stop these many thanks jen.

Select each one and Force Quit it.
But be careful there are many processes that are run by the OS that if quit will cause problems possibly even crash the system.

Process chain to run every other Thursday (with exception of 53rd week)

Hello Friends,
I am trying to find a way to set up my Process chain to run every other Thursday (with exception of 53rd week).
I am hoping that I can perform this via Decision variant.
Any advice would be very much helpful.
Regards,
Vinoth V

Hello Shankar,
Thank You for the valuable comment. So you mean I would need to create a decision variant as shown below?
DATE_WEEKDAY1( Current Date ) = 4 for running this every Thursday and DATE_TO_WEEK formula to meet the requirement of restricting the chain not to run on 53rd week?
How can I make the chain to run on alternate Thursdays?
Kindly advice.

Process chain is running even after the 'No Schedule After' date

Hi Experts,
          On 19th sep, we scheduled a process chain where the scheduled start date is 20th sep, 07:30:00 and no start after date is 22 sep, 00:00:01. The periodic value is 'Daily' and there is no restrictions for this load.
         But yesterday the process chain ran at 7. We checked tbe jobs that triggered and found that the start date and no start after date is changed to 21 and 23 respectively.
        But the last changed date for the process chain is 19th sep only.
        Anyhow, we removed the process chain from schedule. But, I want to know the reason for this load that loaded even after the 'No start after' date.
       Please help me to know why this issue happened...
Regards,
Yokesh.

I also have been caught by this option once : the "do not start after" is here to avoid problems of scheduling : let imagine your system can be stopped, for any reason, so the scheduling will be postponed. In this case, it avoid, for instance, to load data during the day. It's not for running a PC for only a certain period of time.

Process chain in BW for specific day starting programm in ERP

Hi guys,
I have created a process chain in BW which works fine.
Now I have to think about to include a step in this process chain which starts for one specific day one program in ERP.
When this program in ERP is finished with updating data the process chain should continue and then the ERP data should be uploaded in BW.
For example. Every 10th of a month a program in ERP should be started for the last day of the month before (for example 31.1.11). The program runs about 7 hours. When the program is finished the process chain shoul continue.
Is that possible to handle with process chains?
Thank you in advance!

Hi,
1. Make your existing chain as local chain.
2. Create a process chain PC1 with a start variant and add above local chain.
3. Schedule PC1 every day and restrict it not to run on 10th day of every month.
4. Create a program or function module in ECC to execute your logic.(last day of last month as range).
5. create a event in ECC.
6. create a back ground job with step1 as program and step2 as event created in step 5.
7. Create process chain PC2 in BI with start variant with event created in step 5.
8. schedule the back ground job created in step 6 in ecc to run on evry 10th day of the month.
If you do not want 2 pcs you can create only one PC based on variant from ECC. Add lIF condition in your ECC program
to check if it is 10th of the month or not. If it 10th day execute your logic else complete the program with out executing any logic.
so that back ground job will trigger step 2 (which is event) which will inturn trigger BI load.
Thanks,
Kalyan.

Process chain doesnt run in background! URGENT

hey
i have a issue with process chains. we are using a meta chain which consists of 5 local chains, when i activate and schedule this meta chain from the RSPC transcation code the meta chain runs fine. But when i schedule this as a job in SM37 than the job terminates. the start variant of the meta chain has direct scheduling and a date / time on it at which we want to run the meta chain. the local chain start variants have "start using meta chain" option. I dont know whats the problem.
The error message in the job log says: Job BI_PROCESS_TRIGGER has been started because of event. This job is not known, in the active version of the process chain" What does this mean ?
Please let me know
thanks
Laura.

Hi:
You cannot start process chains from SM37, that is the problem. You shouldn't have to...? You have not indicated why you would go into SM37 instead of simply starting the chain in process chains - you can simply edit the process variant of the meta chain start process if you want to change the start time.
Thanks for any points you choose to assign.
