Any plan for "BIA process types" for Process Chains?

Hi,
This morning one of our blades (with Versoin 49) become unresponsive due to memory leak; RFC server on the blade was not releasing the memory. As you know by now, when it happens we restart the server on that blade and things start working until the next time.
As a preventative measure, we would like to create a program and put in a process chain to restart the RFC and Index servers for all the blades everynight. Do you have any program already to do so? We identfied the api's already but wanted to see if somebody already doing this.
Or even better, is there any plan for creating new "BIA process types" for the process chains that we can drag/drop instead of writing programs?
Cheers
Tansu

Implementing a custom process type for a process chain

I have created a custom process type for a process chain that allows a user to send back a failure or error status when calling an ABAP program. I copied the class that is used from the existing ABAP process type as a template.
The process type works fine, I just cannot find out how to recreate the documentation for my custom type using free text. When you maintain the process type there is a field for the documentation object, but I can't find where in SAP to implement this.
I have tried looking at the document maintenance using SE61 and looking into the class documentation from SE24 with no success. The only detail that is provided in the SAP help portal is:
"If necessary, assign a documentation type and a docu. object to the process type. The docu object can be called up via F1 in the process chain maintenance overview tree. "
Does anyone out there have any experience with this that can push me in the right direction?
Thanks,
Eddie

You can create and maintain system documentation from transaction SE61. This is how you would create documentation for a process type or if you wanted to create a book. <a href="http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/a4/d47df949e111d189730000e8322d00/frameset.htm">more info</a>
Here are the steps to make your documentation similar to that used for the ABAP process type:
From transaction SE61:
-Create a document of type TX (either from scratch or by copying RSPC_ABAP which is used for the SAP-delivered ABAP process type)
-Make any changes you need. I suggest downloading the document in ITF format and make the changes in a basic text editor and then uploading your changed document. It's a little easier to tell what is going on that way.
Now on to transaction RSPC.
Once you save your changes, go to RSPC and select on any chain you have to get into the "plan and check views of process chain maintenance." Then just go to Settings -> Maintain Process Types.
From here you can select your process type, select TX from the document type dropdown, and then enter the name of your document in the docu. object field.
Hope that helps.

Processing Types for Action Definition (GTS version 10.1)

Hi Friends/Experts
In PPF settings, for Processing Types for Action Definition US_CU_EX_CUSEX_M_UAES2 Processing settings are not being loaded. It shows the permitted processing type for action as Method Call but the Set Processing box is not being displayed. What could be the reason and how can I fix this/
Appreciate quick response.
Thanks
Keshav Murthy

Hi Dave
Well I it was not with an intent to change any settings. By default it should have been displayed and as I did not see it there, wanted to know how did that disappear! and was not sure if it would have any impact while processing any messages for declaration.

What are process types in process chain

hi any one tell me what are process types in Process chains

Hi,
In 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.
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.
1. 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.
2. 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.
3. 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. 1. From the context menu of a process, create an additional process variant of the Send Message type.
2. 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. 3. You arrive at a window, in which you can select an existing process variant or create a new one.
4. 4. If you create a new process variant, edit the document that is going to be sent, and maintain a list of recipients.
5. 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
1. constructing indexes
2. deleting indexes
3. constructing database statistics
4. rolling up filled aggregates
5. compressing InfoCubes
6. 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.
Hope it helps.

Amith

Process Types in Process Chains - Loading - Repeatable/repairable

Hi,
I know SAP recommends that we do not change the properties of the Process Types for Process Chains. I want to know if any one has ever changed the property of "LOADING" process type to "repeatable" or "repairable". We are keen to change this attribute of "LOADING" process to repeatable. Any experiences, good or bad, would be highly useful to us to take a decision and would be highly appreciated.
regards
Uday

Hi Simon,
So far, I have not come across any documents that explain the difference between the two options. But, I believe the 'repairable" would start from where it has stopped in the program calles, while "repeatable" will restart the current job (not the whole process chain) from the start. Please remember to post it here, if you ever come across any documentation on these options.

Storage Mode = Archiving only
Thanks
Ankit

the problem is the Exclusive = Yes indicator in the access sequence.
Your other message has this exclusive indicator as well.
so if the first message is found, then no other message wil be determined
to allow several messages in one PO, you must not set this exlusive indicator

How to capture the process type for a particular application

In my application CRMD_BUS2000120 there are 3 process types namely incidents, zcomplaints and zrepair order. But all the 3 display the same description as New: Incidents . Since this is attached with the application name. How can i change the description according to the process type i select. If I select incidents the description should be Incident , if i select zcomplaints it should be zcomplaints. Can anyone guide me how to do this.
Thanks in Advance,
Anu

Hi Fred,
If you open any activities or opportunities, you can see the description if you select new button and click on the process type. It will be display Activities and below that New: Activity. Instead of always displaying the same description I want to override the description according to the process type. For me the application is not activity but Incident. Hope I am clear with the question.
Thanks,
Anu

Process Chains and Process Types for ODS Change logs

We have created and used process chains to manage a large amount of our batch processing. I am looking to convert our batch process of deleting data from ODS change logs into a process chain. I have been unable to find a process type that will allow us to do this.
Any thoughts?

Hi Lisa,
You can use Process "Deleting Requests from the PSA" for deleting PSA and change log data.
Since the change log is also stored as a PSA table, you can also use this function to delete change log
records. You can find additional information under Deleting from the Change Log.
More info:
Deleting Requests from the PSA

Process type in Process chain

HI all;
I want to cancel the process type if it takes let's say more than 2 hrs.; the reason is sometimes the rollup job don't finish and just hang it forever...until more than 12 hrs and we have to manually cancel the job in the morning when we come to the office. This is affecting the runstats job when we do after the process chain completes.
so, is there any set up that I can do to cancel the process types let's say rollup for a cube if this doesn't finish by 2 hrs automatically.
thank you.

Bhanu;
they are SEM cubes; and there are several situations sometimes the rollup gets stucks..; for example if some users do the planning in the same cube, or locks.,,etc..we tried to tell all the planner not to do any activities during the daily process chain time. we are doing rollup and compress every day for the sem cubes.

Process Types in Process chain

Hi experts ,
I have been trying to know what is the purpose of each process type in the process chain.
I treid to search in the sdn but i got only few types which are generally used but i need some others also.
Can any one tell me what each is for?
1. Last Customer Contact Update (Retraction)
2. Automatic Classification
3. DataStore Object-Replication
4.Master Data Update with Global Keys
5.Send POS Sales Data to XI System
6. Exception Reporting
Else you sen me only link or pdf doc for knowing how to use these process types

Error in Including Roll Up Process Type into Process Chain

Dear Experts,
On BI 7.0, I found an error, when including the Roll Up Process Type into my process chain. The sequence of my first process chain looks like this.
Start -> Execute Infopackage -> Execute DTP to load data to DSO -> Delete Cube Index -> Execute DTP to load data to cube -> Create Cube Index -> Roll Up
I found this error when activating the process chain
'No type "Delete Index" process can be in front of process "Roll Up of Filled Aggregates/BIA Indexes" variable ROLLUP_ZHRF_C04
Then, after looking through the forum, I found someone suggest using 'Initial Fill' before 'Roll Up'. I followed his sugguestion, so my second process chain looks like this.
Start -> Execute Infopackage -> Execute DTP to load data to DSO -> Delete Cube Index -> Execute DTP to load data to cube -> Create Cube Index -> Initial Fill -> Roll Up
The same message is shown; however, this time it just a warning message instead of the error msg.
1) How can I solve this problem?
2) In which sequence of process types I should take for my process chain?
3) Must I always use the Initial Fill before the Roll Up in the process chain?

Hello,
This issue is with patch 16 of BI. The only solution i think is you need to create a local chain with start process -> rollup and include all the roll up cubes in that variant and include this local chain at the end of the main chain. Hope this helps.
REgds,
Shashank

Error in Decision Process Type Transport ( process chain)

Hi,
I have used a decision process type in my process chain and hence used the BW formula builder to create the logic for the "if then else" conditions of the decision process type. I have collected the process chain with all the required components like the process chain, the start process type, the decision process type and the corresponding formulas.
The trasnport went in fine with a warning (return code 4), but the formulas didn't get transported. The transport log reads like "An error occurred when deleting formula XYZ version A" at the RS_RSFO_AFTER_IMPORT. The overall status is a 4 and even though the log reads like "An error" it is in yellow indicating that it is just a warning.
I checked in target system ..other objects are transported except for the formulas. The table RSAFORMMAP doesn't contain any record for the formula ID XYZ in the target system whereas the sender system has corresponding entries.
Transport requests are colleceted properly.. i able to see formula ID , all object table in TR. but stll its not moving to target system..
what will be the issue?
Regards
Rajesh
