About process chain issue

Dear BW Expert,
We have argument about PC load data by manual
For the first time, I have change data selection in infopackage, then save and run the Process chain.
When my PC not running finish, the one colleague have change data selection of infopacakge, he also run that PC, at the moment, the BW System prompt:
Remove Pocess Chain from scheduling:
Last process chain run is still active
If you continue, this run will be terminated
The button are u201Ccontinueu201D & u201CCancelu201D
We have argument as following:
I think that if I click u201CConinueu201D, My PC will be terminated, my extract data will failure. Run PC like Run SM36 job. when PC run finish, my log status is RED, him log status is GREEN. Because is refresh workbook, we canu2019t directly see the data change.
he think that if Click u201CContinueu201D, My PC will be not terminated. my extract data will not faiure.
My process chain will be included him PC. He said, as long as him pc run successful, my also success. PC have change log technology, I canu2019t understand.
If so, But why my log status is RED, she log status is GREEN? Whom view is right?
Many Thanks,
Best Regards
Steve

If you will activate the process chain when it is running then the process chain execution will terminate and the status of the chain will be red.
So it is never advised to change a process chain object while it is running.
You can check the data in objects, whether it has been loaded properly.

Help! about process chain execution status

hi:
we nearly have one problem about the process chain execution status,
when error occured during process chian execution, we fixed it in time,
however, even the error repaired, its status still showed yellow, and this
stop the subsequent process to excute.
Any body who can provide some help to solve this problem? thanks in advance
and looking forward to one reply.

Hi ,
Try this method
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.

Ravi

Supplier Process chain issue

Hello,
We loaded supplier(LSUPPLIER) from ECC to SPM. The data got loaded to PSA and info objects. But when I release the supplier load, the process chain is running for last 7 hours.
We had same issue in QA where it ran for almot 2 days and even after 2 days it did not finish - in fact there was no progress as well. When I checked in SM50, there was a process with sequential read on /BI0/PXALOCSUPP for almost 2 days.
Has anyone faced similar issue and any pointers for this issue?
Regards,
Prasanna

WE have seen this happen if too many of local supplier point to the same cleansed supplier(generally a dummy cleansed supplier). Is that the case for you.
If not then try recuding the package size of the PSA. That might improve performance for you.

Process Chain Issue

Hi Gurus
When i am executing the Process chain which contains two loads(two local chain)- Master data and transaction load.
After trigger the master variant, it goes to the Master data local chain, but Its showing the yellow status for long time.
But, if we dig in to log and see the message.. its showing "Communication buffer deleted from previous run".
It did not trigger any load inside the master data. But, if i schedule the each processes manually, its successful.
Thanks in advance.
Variant settings:
First variant set to Immediate start
Master data load variant set to Start using meta chain or API
Transaction data load variant set to Start using meta chain or API
Note: Even i changed Master data load variant and Transaction data load variant to Immediate start. Still did not work.
I activated the chain many times too.

Process chains issue:very urgent

Hi All,
This issue is related to process chains.Last weekend our Basis team changed the BW PRD from BWBPRD to BWBPRD1.The process chains were schedlued previously on BWBPRD, so after the server change none of the process chains were triggered.
We have rescheduled our process chains in the new server yesterday, but no success.
We could not find any log in the SM37 also.
Kindly suggest how to overcome this issue
Thanks,
Manjula

Hi,
Check do you have connection with this new system( BWBPRD1) to your source system (R/3), and check the changed server is reflecting in SM66 or SM50. try to execute the job immediate and check chain is running or not. at the time of execution you can assign the new server to run this particular chain.
as for as your problem concerned i think your application is not active.

PI Interface Posting Files - Trigger Process Chain Issue

Dear Reader,
Situation -
We get multiple flat files from source system via PI interface. To process this in BW 7.0 side we have created the web service interface. In the function module we have written a code to trigger process chain, once a data is posted.
Issue -
As there are multiple files being posted, the PC runs on completion of the every single post, which is not desired. We need to run the process chain only once at the end of all the files being posted.
Notes -
1. Number of files keep varying.
2. Clubbing all the files in a single file and then posting it would cause performance issues.
Request your help in find a way like -
1. A file being posted of name, say 'START PC', which can be trapped in the funciton module and controll the PC call.
2. <any Other idea>

Frequest process chain issue - Database selection was interrupted

hi experts,
we are running master data meta chains daily, and we have PP,SD,MM,LO,FI,PS masterdata meta chains running daily, and everyday 2-3 process chains are failing, it is extracting only 50000 records and the requests becomes RED.
if i check the long text of the error message, it is giving the below error message.
Database selection was interrupted (see long text)
Message no. RSBK072
Diagnosis
You are extracting data from a DataSource or an InfoProvider. The selection is made with an open database cursor. This cursor has been invalidated by one of the following ABAP statements:
COMMIT WORK
ROLLBACK WORK
CALL TRANSACTION
SUBMIT
The ABAP statement responsible for termination probably ran in a transformation routine programmed by you.
System Response
Request processing has ended with errors.
Procedure
Change the code for the transformation in which one of the specified ABAP statements is executed. If you are using statement COMMIT WORK, replace it with:
CALL FUNCTION 'DB_COMMIT'.
again if i delete the request from the target and repeat it is working fine but taking lot of time. but there are no routines in the transformations.
please provide us the solution to rectify the issues as it is causing lot of reporting issues.

venuscm

hi experts,
here is the source 0MAT_PLANT_TEXT and the target is 0MAT_PLANT.
info package load is very fast, but DTP it is taking lot of time if i execute the DTP Manually.
The data packets are processed very fast, but after that at the bottom
Set technical status to green and
set overall status to green in yellow very long time, due to this DTP Load for above master data is taking long time.
how to resolve this?
any solutionz pl.

203 Invoice Process chain Issue

Greetings All!
We have been facing an issue where the standard 203 Invoice PC has become cleint dependent .The client which it is pointing is not even existing in BI system configs.Due to this we are not able to open this process chain for editing as well..We tried to delete this process chain and re-instaal from the Business content,but when we are trying that still teh issue of client dependency is coming.The ssyetem gives an error stating
"Chain 0ASA_P041 can only be edited in client 300"
The extended message also shows the follwoing
Object 0ASA_P041 (Process Chain) could not be collected for object ()
Message no. RSO296
Diagnosis
You have collected objects in the BI Metadata Repository. Associated objects for object of type have also been collected. Object 0ASA_P041 of type Process Chain was among these objects.
However, this object 0ASA_P041 of type Process Chain is not available in the metadata repository.
System Response
Object 0ASA_P041 of type Process Chain is ignored in further collections. The links for object of type are incomplete. This may result in you not being able to activate this object.
Procedure
If this error occurs while you are installing BI Content, an error may have occurred during the delivery. Inform SAP. In all other cases, check that the object has not been deleted by another user during collection, for example.
Please assist,this issue is existing in both Dev as well as Quality enviroment.
Kind Regards,
Surbhi

Hi Surbhi,
Not sure what might have caused this. Please also try posting the query in BI forums since they might have a better idea on this.
As a quick workaround you can try to create a copy of the process chain 0ASA_P041 and in the table OPMDM_TYPES for the entries INVOICE and C_INVOICE use this new process chain instead of 0ASA_P041. Then the data management UI will automatically pick the new process chain.
Thanks,
Divyesh

Details about Process chain

Hi Vijay,
            Well the major components of Process chain is mentioned as under:-
A process Chain is a sequence of processes in BI system that executes in the Background.
Commonly Used Process Types
1. Start
2. Execute InfoPackage
3. DTP
4. Attribute Change Run
5. Save Hierarchy
6. Delete Index
7. Generate Index
8. Activate DSO data
9. Update DSO data
10. Complete Deletion of Data Target Content
11. Delete Entire Content of Linked Transactional DSO/ODS
12. Initial Fill of New Aggregates
13. Roll up of Filled Aggregates/BIA indexes
14. Compression of InfoCubes
15. Read PSA and Update Data Target
16. AND
17. OR
18. XOR
If you want to include a load process in the process chain, you need to have already created an InfoPackage.
You cannot load flat file data from a client workstation in the background. For this reason, you have stored your data on an application server.
Creating Process Chains
You have the option of creating a process chain in the process chain maintenance screen directly or by using a maintenance dialog for a process:
Creating a Process Chain Directly in the Process Chain Maintenance Screen
You are in the BW Administrator Workbench.
       1.      Click on the Process Chain Maintenance icon in the AWB toolbar.
The Process Chain Selection dialog window appears.
       2.      Choose Create.
       3.      Enter the technical name and a description of the chain, and confirm your entry.
The Add Start Process dialog window appears.
       4.      Create a variant for a start process.
a.       On the Maintain Start Process screen, choose whether you want to schedule the chain directly or whether you want to start it using a metachain.
b.       If you choose to schedule the chain directly, enter the start date value for the chain under Change Selections and save your entries.
The Maintain Start Process screen appears again.
c.       Save your entries, return to the previous screen and confirm your entries in the Add Start Process dialog window.
You are taken to the Plan View of the process chain maintenance screen.
In the left-hand area of the screen, a navigation area is displayed. In the right-hand area of the screen, the process chain is displayed.
       5.      Use the drag-and-drop function to add the relevant processes into your process chain.
You use the Process Types function to select the processes. This sorts the process types according to different categories. You can also call up InfoPackages and processes for the data target from the separate InfoSources and Data Targets navigation trees.
If you insert into the chain a process that is linked to additional processes, the respective process variants are generated and inserted into the process chain automatically. These variants are suggestions and can be changed, replaced or removed from the chain if required.
Only if the attribute realignment run is inserted automatically, do you also arrive at the variant maintenance screen.
If you want to specify yourself the processes that are to be included in a chain, choose Settings ® Default Chains, and select the Do Not Suggest Processes option. As a result, the system does not suggest, generate, or insert automatically any processes into the chain. This setting is user-specific.
If the chain that you create does not correspond to the standard, the system displays a warning. You can ignore these warnings if you are sure that you are creating a chain that meets your requirements. Warnings do not affect how the chain operates during runtime.
Your chain is checked in the checking view and during activation. The system tells you if it discovers any errors.
Creating a Process Chain Using the Maintenance Dialog for a Process
You are in the maintenance dialog of a process that you want to include in a process chain.
       1.      Choose the Process Chain Maintenance pushbutton and create a process variant.
       2.      Save the variant and go back to the previous screen.
A dialog window appears in which you enter a technical name and a description of the chain that you want to create.
       3.      Confirm your entries.
The Add Start Process dialog window appears.
       4.      Create a variant for a start process.
a.       On the Maintain Start Process screen, choose whether you want to schedule the chain directly or whether you want to start it using a metachain.
b.       If you choose to schedule the chain directly, enter the start date value for the chain under Change Selections and save your entries.
The Maintain Start Process screen appears again.
c.       Save your entries, return to the previous screen and confirm your entries in the Add Start Process dialog window.
You are taken to the Plan View of the process chain maintenance screen.
The various process categories, the application processes, and collection processes are displayed in the left-hand area of the screen. In the right-hand area of the screen, the process chain is displayed.
If the process that you used to create a chain is linked to additional processes, the respective process variants are generated and inserted into the process chain automatically. These variants are suggestions and can be changed, replaced or removed from the chain if required.
Only if the attribute realignment run is inserted automatically, do you also arrive at the variant maintenance screen.
If you want to specify yourself the processes that are to be included in a chain, choose Settings ® Default Chains, and select the Do Not Suggest Processes option. As a result, the system does not suggest, generate, or insert automatically any processes into the chain. This setting is user-specific.
If the chain that you create does not correspond to the standard, the system displays a warning. You can ignore these warnings if you are sure that you are creating a chain that meets your requirements. Warnings do not affect how the chain operates during runtime.
Your chain is checked in the checking view and during activation. The system tells you if it discovers any errors.
       5.      Use the drag-and-drop function to insert any additional relevant processes into your process chain.
You use the Process Types function to select the processes. This sorts the process types according to different categories. You can also call up InfoPackages and processes for the data target from the separate InfoSources and Data Targets navigation trees.
Additional Steps to Creating a Process Chain
       6.      When you add a process, you need to select a process variant or create a new variant. For collection processes, the system determines the variants.
Various functions for working with the process are available from the context menu:
Context Menu Entry for a Process
Function Information
Maintain Variants
With the exception of the variants in the collection process, you can use this function to change all process variants.
Exchange Variants
You can swap the variants for an existing variant or a new variant.
Display Scheduled Jobs
Once the process chain is active, you can use this function to display the jobs that have been scheduled.
Display All Jobs
After at least one run of the process chain, you can display, for a specific process, all of the scheduled jobs for this process and all of the jobs with which this process was run. You arrive at the job overview from where you call up the relevant job log.
Create Message
You can also send messages to an application process of the chain, depending on the success or failure of the process.
1.       From the context menu of a process, create an additional process variant of the Send Message type.
2.       If you maintain a message, first specify whether you want the message to be sent when the process has been completed successfully or unsuccessfully. Then choose Next.
3.       You arrive at a window, in which you can select an existing process variant or create a new one.
4.       If you create a new process variant, edit the document that is going to be sent, and maintain a list of recipients.
5.       Save your process variant and go back a step.
The message process variant is now assigned to your application process. When the message is sent, the status information and the process log can also be sent.
Wait Time
You use this function only to debug a process run.
Specify how long (in seconds) you want the delay to be between one event being triggered and the next process starting.
You can capture the process by using transaction SM37 (Job Overview) or SM50 (Process Overview).
Remove Process
You use this function to remove a process from a process chain.
Manage Data Target
You use this function in connection with the following types of process variants
·         constructing indexes
·         deleting indexes
·         constructing database statistics
·         rolling up filled aggregates
·         compressing InfoCubes
·         activating ODS object data
to call up the administration for each of the data targets.
       7.      Hold down the left mouse button to connect the processes through events.
Before you do this, select the process underneath the process type row, and position the cursor over the required process. When you select the process type row, the whole process is moved into the plan view.
From the context menu of a link, you can display the event or remove the link again. To do this, highlight the link and right-click with the mouse.
       8.      If necessary, specify whether you want the event to be triggered after the previous process has been completed successfully or unsuccessfully or whether you want the event to be triggered independently of the outcome of the process that precedes it.
       9.      Under Attributes ®Display Components assign a display component to the process chain.
   10.      Maintain additional process chain attributes if necessary.
   11.      Check your process chain in the Check View and make any necessary corrections.
The Legend explains the meaning of the different colors used to display the processes and links.
From the context menu for a process, you can display the messages resulting from the check.
   12.      Save your process chain if it does not contain any errors.
Result
Your process chain can be activated. After activation, the chain starts in accordance with the start process selections. For example, if you scheduled the start process directly and chose Immediately as the start date value, the chain run starts immediately after activation. In the Log View, you can display the reports for the chain runs.

E-mail notification about process chains

Hello friends
How to go about creating e-mail notifications for Process-chain failures in BI 7.0. When I tried to right click on the Process Variant and select create Message, It doesnt shows me the screen to add the reciepients, instead it prompts me to with "Insert Send Message"

Need help with BW Process chain issue

Hi Gurus,
I had made a copy of the existing process chain so that I can work on the changes. Its a metachain and I tried to copy a sub chain.
But at a later point of time, I have realized that the process chain had got into a nested loop in the meta chain, for the sub chain, I had copied. How do I rectify it?
Kindly suggest

hi,
use the bottom up approach.
Looking at the attached file it has many PCs.
Just note down all list of all PC and then do the copy of individual PCs, later you can copy the complete meta chain.
If you want give one more chance and try to copy meta chain again.
Thank-You.
Regards,
VB

Process Chain issue-Needs urgent Help

R/3 Master Data Main Chain
Problem Description:
When we trigger the process chain from SM64, the process chain fails at the step as shown below.
There are no logs for the local chain i.e. the local chain fails without linking.
If we manually schedule the local chain it runs successfully.
The error message changed as and when we tried fixing the defects. Each of them with the solutions tried for them is explained below.
ERROR 1:
The error message which we got was as Cannot Activate Job BI_PROCESS_LOADING (return code 8).
Solution tried:
1.     Replicating Data Sources and activating the transfer and communication structures by running the programs RS_COMSTRU_ACTIVATE_ALL and RS_TRANSTRU_ACTIVATE_ALL.
ERROR 2:
Later we found that the released job was missing for failed local chain.
Solution tried:
1.     We created a new job by copying a previous job.
ERROR 3:
When we re-scheduled the process chain, we got the error message as shown below.
Solution tried:
1.     Deleted all the logs which were in running status.
ERROR 4:
After re scheduling the process chain we are getting the error message as shown below. This is the error message we are getting now.
Solutions Tried:
1.    Saving the variant and reactivating the process chains.
2.     Replicating Data Sources and activating the transfer and communication structures by running the programs RS_COMSTRU_ACTIVATE_ALL and RS_TRANSTRU_ACTIVATE_ALL.
3.     Changing the scheduling options of the failed local chain to Start using Meta Chain or API from Direct Scheduling.
4.     We searched for locked entries in SM12. There are no locked entries.
5.     We ran attribute change run with variant for info object Profit Center from the following path
    RSA1-> Tools-> Apply Hierarchy/ Attribute Change Run. We created a new variant for the info object.
We still could not find a solution. do let us know if you have any inputs.
Thanks,
Mayuri

Hi All,
Please reply ASAP. Its critical.
We created a new process chain and when we do a check on it,we are getting a warning message.
We just upgraded our Dev box from 3.5 to 7.0. Our master data process chains, which reflect samples delivered by SAP, are giving warnings saying "too many parallel processes" for chosen server. It refers us to note 621400.
I am curious to know if others have run into this, and if they have changed their MD process chains to run in a serial fashion.
Prior to the upgrade, we had no deadlocks with process chains.
Thanks.
