Automate "Regeneration of reports" with process chain

Hi All,
From RSRT we normaly regenerate reports. But to automate this I found a program RSR_GEN_DIRECT_ALL_QUERIES. I created a Process chain, included an ABAP program process type, used the program (RSR_GEN_DIRECT_ALL_QUERIES) created a variant to regenerate a particular query (Gave the MPR and the query technical name in the variant), to execute the same in background. But executing this Process chain, the first step itself which just contains one query, is running for almost half an hour and eventually getting cancelled with a short dump "Export_too_much_data". When I check the dump, it says its reading a lot of programs and tables so the dump.
But regenerating the same query from RSRT gets completed in less than a minute. Can someone help me out if there is a different program to automate the regeneration of reports or guide me if I'm doing this in a wrong way?
Thanks & Regards,
Suman Pitta

Report on Process Chain Completion Timings

The SAP-delivered BW stat cubes do not seem to be designed to report on process chain completion timings. My requirement is to automatically generate a report on the start time, end time and over-all duration of our scheduled chains and if possible, also its components/processes. Our approach right now is through manual checking of the logs of the chain.
Inputs will be awarded and highly appreciated.
Thanks,
AL

Hi Angela,
You can create an abap Program using tables RSPCLOGCHAIN and RSPCPROCESSLOG using the (LOG_ID) Log-ID of a Process Chain Run field as join between them .
You will have more attribute entries for the the chain in table RSPCPROCESSLOG .
You have select the latest time stamp field (ENDTIMESTAMP) to get the finish time.
For the process chain to monitor you can either maintain them as a variant in the program.
You need to provide DATUM of table RSPCLOGCHAIN for selection.
The limitation is if the process chain has failed and if all the subsequent process of failure are manually done.
It may not display the right values .

Report on process chains using SEM-BPS

We are looking to develop a tool to:
1. Monitor data loads at the process chain level
2. Within in the same tool, enter error resolution /
action steps for all failed loads
3. Report out % of successful or failed loads, using the data captured by the tool.
We have studied the BW Tables rspcchain, rspcchainattr, rspclogchain, rspcprocesslog, rspclogs, rseventchain and
rspcchaint.
We are considering the following options:
1. Develop an ABAP report and allowing the process chain monitor to manually enter the error resolutions (Perhaps in a Z-Table)
2. Create an InfoCube in BW using the above tables and then write a query, but we can not allow the user to enter error resolutions in the query.
3. Create a transactional infocube in SEM-BPS using the above tables and use the input functionality of tansactional infocube to facilitate the error resolution report entry.
Can anyone suggest any alternate solution, or has anyone encountered similar requirement on project?
One more doubt to check: is there any way to create an infoobject with CHAR type to enter data with 1000 or more characters? Or is there any other alternative solution to it? The doubt is to take care of the text entry for the error resolution.

Just some thoughts:
Have you considered using document service in BW or even KM (Portal) technology rather than CHAR 1000+ fields? This would give you more flexibility also on the type of document.
For loading there are monitors available (based on tables like RSMONMESS). If you are interested in loads only (and not other process types), maybe using information from the BW load monitor could be beneficial (like RSMONMESS) rather than the process chain stuff.
Maybe it's even worth having an InfoObjekt with a resolution code that links to a document describing the resolution with a key and whenever there is a new solution available create a new key with a new document. That would be most beneficial for reporting (like how many times has this problem / resolution occurred and the like).

BW Statistics query with process chain run times.

Hello Guru's,
We are using BW 3.5 system and the client have asked if it is possible to create a report in BW based out of the Statistics Cube that shows the current status of the Process Chains .i.e. the start/end time of specific process chains along with some sort of Exceptions to show successfully completed chains as 'Green', chains finishing with errors as 'red' and chains presently running as 'Yellow'.
I have seen such a report in my previous project, but that was using BI 7.0, I am not able to find such Statistics Info Cube in BW 3.5 which meets my requirements.
Has anybody created such a report in BW 3.5? If yes, would very much appreciate if you can share your way of approach with me.
Thanks
Arvind

Hi Arvind,
Yes you can achieve this functionality using BW Technical Content. I already implemented this for one of our client. We have some Standard InfoProviders where in wee can get the Start and End time of chains. You can build a query on these Cubes & Multiprovider and there in create exceptions to reflect which step got completed with in stipulated time limit and which took longer than usual......u can display those time statistics in different colour.
Here are soem cubes names from BW Technical content which may meet your requirement specification:
1. 0TCT_C01
2. 0TCT_C02
3. 0TCT_CA1
4. 0TCT_C23
5. 0TCT_C21
Hope it helps

Initialization of delta loads possible with process chain?

hello all,
followed situation:
i load data from file and sap extractor to ods 1. from this ods i have an automatic delta load to another ods 2, where the data are filtered and aggregated.
its possible that some of the data change their state from filtered out to in but are not in ods 2 because of the earlier criterias they had have. now i want a weekly load (initial load) from ods 1 to ods 2 and a daily delta load if new data arrived ods 1 to the no 2.
i tried to create a process chain for that but i cant! i cannot use the info package for the initialization of the load from ods 1 to 2 because it is generated info package. and if i use the process "update ods object data" there is always tried to make a delta load! at first step i delete all data of ods 2, so i need an initialization with data as next step.
how can i do what i want?
thanks for any idea
Frank

Hello Tom,
ok, i understand but i dont know how...
The only way i know to create an InfoPackage between ODS is to use "Update ODS Data in Data Target" of the context menu of an ODS. Then i chose between full/delta/init load and the infopackage will be generated. How else can i create it?

Lock Problem while Broadcasting multiple reports using process chains

Hi All,
I am trying to broadcast 10 reports using the process chains using the program for RSRD_START and variants created in the Broadcaster..the Program jobs start fine.But I am facing the error that the RSRA_CA_LOG table is getting locked while trying to broadcast the Reports..Can any help me on how to run the jobs without the locking problem..Suggestions please.
Thanks,
Mike.

Hi,
Thanks for the Inputs and the SAP Notes.
I am trying to broadcast the Reports from the the Bex Analyer and getting this ock error and not the workbooks.
I am also trying to Broadcast the Workbooks also, but could not find the options to Broadcast them. we are in SAP -BW3.5 SP 12, Is it possible to broadcast the workbooks in this Patch level..or do we need to upgrade to achieve this.If so...can any one provide me the proceedure to Broadcast the Workbooks.
Thanks,

Issue with Process chains in BI (NW2004s)

Hi,
Recently we have done the system refresh (From Production to Quality Environment) for our BI Environment.
After the refresh, our basis team has performed all the post activities like Source system conversion (BDLS), etc.
But now, we are not able to open any process chains.The system is given the information message "<b>Variant &0000000XXXXXX does not exist</b>"
"Message no. DB612
Diagnosis
You selected variant &0000000XXXXXX for program RSPROCESS.
This variant does not exist.
Procedure
Correct the entry."
Is this because of some post-processing steps got missed out?
Do we have to create the Variants (Or can we copy the variants from the old Quality env? as we have the copy of Quality env. database).
If we can create the variants, please let us know the procedure for the same.
Please advise. Points will be awarded for your solution.
Thanks,
John.

I have checked for the variants in the production system for the program RSPROCESS(in transaction SE38). But nothing exists.
When I checked with the Basis team, they mentioned that the tables VARI, VARIT and VARID are copied from the (old)QA system and now they have imported these tables into the QA system after the refresh.
I have never created any variants. Please let me know the procedure to create the variants in SE38.
The process chains are working fine in our Dev and Prod environments. Will copying the tables(VARI, VARID and VARIT) from production will help us?
Is this due to some transports need to be moved from Dev to QA again? How can I find the requests?
Please let me know your suggetion.
-John.

Urgent: Problem with Process chain.

Hello Experts,
In my process chain I have an ABAP Program which produces an error message:
RFC server sapftp cannot be started - 1 : Programm nicht über RFC gestartet. Kein Rückruf möglich.Message no. CMS057
Manually I executed this program with out any problems. But this program was not responding via Porcess chain.
After finishing the successfull load this program copies the files from Application Server in to our Central Project Directory to archive the data and deletes the file from Application server.
Any suggestion please...........
Thanks in advance.
Thanks & Regards

Hi Sailekha,
When the program was excuted through the Process Chain the Program was not able to access the Application Server, this could happen sometimes due to RFC issues.
Did you try repeating the Program from the Process Chain???
Is this issue happened for the first time???
Depending on these questions you can decide on whether it was an RFC issue.
If such is not the case check for the next run of Process Chain and also check for the variant assinged in Maintain Variant of this ABAP Program in this Process Chain.
Hope it helps!!!
Cheers,

How to run Multi provider with process chain

Hi Experts,
I have a process chain (Including 3 cubes) , now i want to run this multi provider through process chain?
can any one give me step by step process?
Thanks

Hi,
Include 3 cubes in the Process chain.Multiprovider is a structure it will not contain data physically.while running the query it will fetch the data from 3 cubes that u loaded from Process chain and displayed in the report.....

Help with Process Chain - Stop remaining Processes if Package returns 0 rec

Hi, i have a Process Chain that starts with a single InfoPackage. Then it goes on to distribute the load to multiple DSO's and then onto DSO Activation. I would like the Process Chain to stop right after the InfoPackage if no records are loaded.
Is this possible using the decision variant somehow? Any details on how to achieve this are greatly appreciated!

Hi ,
The request is goin to red status when 0 records are pulled in. There is a option in info package so that even when 0 records come in the request status would be green.
Open your info package , then in the menu goto "Scheduler > Treatment of warnings > Select Green" so that in future even if the info package pulls 0 records the status would be green . then the activation step in the process chain would also be carried out smoothly.
In this way you need not manually change any request status to green . Saves you time.

Venky

Is there any way to run abap program in dialog process with process chain?

Hi.
I just want to run custom abap program in every 30min.
so I made process chain and connect abap program.
but it returns NOTHING when background running.
the program has ABSOLUETLY no problem when it's running DIALOG process.
custom program is modified from sap standard program for my use.
so complicated and hard to read that I cann't figure out what's problem in backgound job and even hard to debug in background process.
is there any way to run abap program in dialog process in every 30 min.?
or call BSP page or call function.
any solution will be helpful that excuting PROGRAM or FUNCTION or BSP PAGE in schedule job and should running dialog process.
thanks.
Lee.

Hi,
did you try using sm36 transaction?
1Give these values in Gereral data
Create one sample job "SAMPLE JOB"
Priority "A"
Execu target - Your application server
2Click start conditon
schedule according to ur requirements.
3.Click Step button
Give your ABAP program name.
fill variants if it has any variants.
if it is useful assign points

Call R3 report by Process Chain BW

Hi,
I need to execute an R3 abap program from a Process Chain in BW, and after it finish, process chain has to continue its processes...
Could someone help me?
thank you
Fede

Try this:
Start an ABAP program in R/3 from a process chain in BW
Basically, what happens is that the ABAP process in BW waits until you call the function module from R/3 that says the ABAP process for the process chain is finished.
Hope this helps.

Process Chain - Reporting Agent

Hi,
Does anybody know how to use Process Chain - Reporting Agent ?
I have the web templates ready within a Scheduling package inside the Reporting Agent.
Just want to know how I can use it with Process Chains.
Kindly assist.
Regards,
Ray.

Hi Ray,
There is option of "Precalculation of web templates" in process chain where in you can specify the scheduling package and system will execute the package fill data for the web templates.
Now in the role menu you need to call this web template with data_mode = stored . This setting will allow precalculated data to be reported to user . ( This data may not be current one ).
Hope that helps.

Process Chain Triggered automatically when transported to test system

Hi All,
We modified several process chain and transported the process chain to Test system.
Few Process chain triggered automatically as the varient was set to immediate in development system.
Now we want to move the process chain to production. Do we need
1. new transport request with the variant to future date and discard the transport request which created issues
2. New transport request with the variant to future date and transport the new along with the old transport to production system
3. Change the start date in Test system and transport the same request to production
Kindly advice me on the action to be taken.

Regarding 2: When the old transport is imported into production the start will be set to immediately and the process chain will execute. You should not use this option.
Regarding 3: Changing in Test system will not affect the content of the transport, it will still be the same as released from Dev.
We have avoided this annoying problem with process chains being executed when transports are imported by creating a "parent" process chain that simply triggers the process chain in question. This "parent" chain should not be transported. You then set the start option for the original process chain to "start by API/Event" then you can transport the original process chain whenever you want without any risk of the process chain being executed.

Lars
