Can any one please help me in this issue....
Waiting for responce...
Thanks in advance,

Dear all,
Here is my error while triggering the Porcess chain by Autosys,

User wants to schedule the process chain - what is the best practice

I posted earler and got the anwser.
Create a custom ABAP program that calls the RSPC_API_CHAIN_START Function Module, with a selection for the Process Chain where your user can enter the Meta Chain name to start the process.
To make it simpler for the user to execute this, create a custom tcode for them in SE93, so that they logon to your BW environment, call up that tcode, enter the Meta Chain name and execute. With this, they wouldn't have to have access to RSPC.
I did the above and the user not able to execute it since he doesn't have access to the cube/dso to update the cube.
To overcome this I wrote another abap program and used the
SUBMIt program user ALEREMOTE
and there is a problem.I called the process chain start program using ALEREMOTE .
Now the user needs access to authorization object S_BTCH_NAM and authorization field BTCUNAME with value ALEREMOTE.
So again due to SOX the basis doesn't want to give the necessary access.
What is the best solution.
How in general if the user needs to execute the process chain how they do it.
Please let me know. Thanks for your help in advance.
Senthil

Hi Senthil
In general production scenerio, we do not run process chain manually. To execute a process chain you should have necessary authorization. As you have assigned alertmote in the start variant, any user other thatn that will not be able to trigger the same.
Instead of alertmote , use the nornal start variant to trigger the process chain and give the user the normal authorization. Whenever user wants to run the infopackage manually or via process chain they should have the auth to view the infoprovider content as well....

How to trigger the Process Chains in BI from ECC

HI Friends,
Can let me know How to trigger the Process Chains in BI from ECC. Please let me know.........

Hi,
1) Define a Custom ABAP Program (eg : Z_EVENT_RAISE)..........call the FM : BP_EVENT_RAISE or RSSM_EVENT_RAISE..........and trigger an event towards BW .........specify BW as RFC destination...........
2) Create a R/3 Job in SM36>> use the Program Z_EVENT_RAISE ......
3) In BW schedule the PC..........and in the Start variant use this Event..........

Unable to start the process chain

Hi ,
I am trying to start a process chain manually , but it gives me a message saying process has no predecesssor ?
what should be done to start the chain?

Did you copy processes from another chain? Sometimes when this happens, you end up copying all the processes.
First, remove the process chain from scheduling. In RSPC, at the top, select Process Chain --> Remove from Schedule. This will delete all the batch jobs for the process chain.
Next, move all the processes in the process chain with your mouse. Sometimes the maintenance will put one process on top of another so you cannot see them all. By moving all the processes, you may find the "unattached" process so you can remove it from the process chain.
Hope it helps..

How to Trigger the process chain using Excel Files?

Hi All,
We have 9 excel files(4 master data attributes and text files and 1 transaction file).
Everyday new records will be added into the excel sheets and we need to trigger all these files into the bw server through process chain automatically . As we have all these Excel files in the desktop.
Please suggest how to achieve this task?
Thanks
Gowtham

Hi,
You cannot load flat files to BW automatically using process chains.
You have to upload them to Apllication server and point your Infopackage to the directory path of the flat file in application server. then process chains can load it.

How to trigger a process chain using external scheduler ?

Hi all,
we have a requirement wherein we need to trigger the process chains from an external scheduler used by client rather than directly scheduling it through BW scheduler.So any pointers on this will be heplful.

Hi we have had a same scenario like this. You can schedule it using schedulers like autosys. Speak to your basis team and see if you have the autosys software installed or some thing similar to that. You have to write a program which calls the function RSPC_CHAIN_START. When you excute this program, it willl ask for a variant to execute. this variant will be the start variant of the process chain you want to trigger.
the flow will be like the basis team will schedule the autosys or the scheduler to run the program and this program will in turn trigger the process chain.

Satish.

Passing parameters to the process chain

Hi friends,
I want to know ,how to pass parameters to the process chain. Suppose i want to pass parameter to my DTP in my process chain in order to filter the data and do the delta upload in my cube .

Hi,
I dont think there is any direct way to achieve this.
There is a work Around which can be achieved with help of abap.
You need to write ABAP routine to get the selection values from user and store them in the table TVARVC.
Then you need to write a routine in the DTP filter to fetch these values.
In the ABAP program where you get the values, you can trigger the process chain once the values are entered for the selections using an event,

Event is not getting triggered in the process chain

Hi,
We had a process chain which was triggered by an Event, and it was running fine until few days ago. So I removed the chain from schedule and re-scheduled it again with these details:
File load: every 2 hrs
Process chain setting
Immediate tab: start immediately
After event: "event name" and "parameter name" and periodic job: ticked
I activated the chain and scheduled it. But the event is not triggered and the chain does not start. I even tried to trigger the process chain manually in sm64 but the process chain did not start.
Can someone please tell me steps to automate the event triggering and also any setting that should be taken care off in the info package and the process chain.
Thanks In advance.
Ram

Hello Ram, to start your Process Chain by an event, then you need to maintain the Start process of the process chain.
Select "Direct Scheduling".
In the Change Selections, press After Event. Put your event name and parameter (if any). Also click on Periodic job.
Press Save. Then Activate and Schedule your process chain. All your processes should turn green.
To verify, right-click on the Start process and select Displaying Scheduled Job(s).... You should see a job called BI_PROCESS_TRIGGER in a Released status. You can click on the job and look at the start conditions.
When you go to trigger the event, use the same event name and parameter (if any) as in the start condition. Your process chain will then execute. To insure, use RSPC to view your process chain and press the Logs icon (last one at the top).
Does this help?

Error while collecting the process chain in a transport request

Hi Gurus,
I am getting an error while collecting my process chain in a tranpsort request.I have to transport the request from DEV to QA system.
When in RSA1--->transport connection i drag & drop the chain from left to right side pane then the Error occurs.

You wanted to generate an object with the name 'ZPAK_48RZW8GZX87CNEH7S897TFQSD' (in transport request RSPT) of type 'Process Chain Starter' (TLOGO). This is, however, not available in the BW Repository database. It does not exist in the requested version A. If the version is 'D' then it is possible that an error arose during the delivery or installation. If the version is 'A' then the Object was either not created or not activated.

i though it was the problem of patch level sap note(966131).
Accordingly i tried collecting process chain in the request where the patch level is high(24).But same error is seen.
I have activated chain again & then tried collecting the request i the process chain.But did not solve the error.

Hi,
take a look:
Data Warehousing
"Errors occurred during post-handling RS_AFTER_IMPORT for MPRO L "
Errors occurred during post-handling RS_AFTER_IMPORT for ROUT L
Try to set the Process Chain Start to Immediate(background jobs) in the schedule, because this will trigger the process chain once tranported and may cause similar errors.

BSP to trigger a Process Chain in BW

Hi ,
I have a requirement to develop a BSP Application in the BW System where the BSP Application have to get some input parameter and in the back ground trigger a process chain.
Can any one tell me how to trigger the process chain in BW System from BSP. I have not worked on the BSP / BW combination ..
It would be helpfull if there are some documents which would help me ..

from your bsp application simply call FM RSPC_API_CHAIN_START to trigger process chain.

Schedule the Process Chain automatically in BW

Hi SDN Guru's,
I have an urgent requirement in BW. I want to run the Process Chain automatically in BW when the job for the deltas in R/3 are completed.
I know that in BW we can trigger the process chain by the background job only by giving the date and time or after the event and after the job.
But my requirement is the process chain should automatically be triggered in BW once the R/3 delta job is run and completed and the delta records are updated in RSA7.
Can any body please let me know how we can do this as this is the urgent requirement for me.
Please let me know how and where we need to write the code or make the settings for satisfying my requirement.
Thanks & Regards,
Vamshi Krishna.

HI Vamshi:

Triggering the process chain

Hi all,
I just installed a couple of process chains(content). And i can see them in Process chain maintenance too .. What are the steps that need to be followed to trigger the process chains .. and how do i know, the process chians are in process or tiggered?
Thanks in Advance.

Hi Bhanu,
When i checked it .. it says "processes with errors"...
and when i save it ... its says "Version 'M' of chain 0XX_XXX_XXXX_X01 was saved without checking" ...
and when i execute it it says the same " processes with errors".
So i'm trying to reinstall the whole thing again.... Before implementing the process chains, i already have master data sitting in my info objects. DOes it in any way effect it? I dont know, whats going wrong but it aint working.
Can u think of something that i'm missing?
Thanks in advance,

Trigger a process chain when user clicks on save button in web interface

Hi All,
This is a issue I'm facing with the BW BPS web interface.
BPS web interface generates a BSP application so thought posting this question in BSP forum might get some responses.
The issue is I have to trigger a process chain when the user clicks on the save button on the web interface.
I have no clue how BSP works. So if anybody has any ideas or suggestions I would greatly appreciate it.
Thanks,

Where to check the user id that who deleted the process chain

Dear Gurus,
If the process chain is deleted accidentally, can we check the user id used to delete. Where can we see the logs/information about that.
Regards
Ram

Hi Ram,
When you delete something in BW/BI, a background job is assigned to the requested task.
To check the same use Tcode SM37, provide details: Job name as BI_DEL*, user name as *, Job status as Finished, and the date or date range in which the process chaing was deleted. Then execute the request.
It will show you all the jobs which were used to delete something in the BW/BI.
Check the log of the request and you will get the required information.
Cheers...

Process chain stopped and unable to trigger next process

Hi all , i am working on process chains, today process completed at DTP and the next process at activation of dso process failed and the rest of the pc completed even though the activation process is red. after the completion of that , chain process stopped, next pc didnt started. plz help me wiht this, thanks in advance..

you can evaluate a local chain as 'green' even if one of the steps is 'red'. in the planning view of the process chain, go to process chain --> attributes --> process status valuation. flag the checkbox. this will enable the next pc to start even after a red status of the local chain...
detailed info:
Red Outcome Renders Chain Green If Process Is Red
If errors are raised for processes that have scheduled an event "With Errors" they are judged as successful for the determination of the overall status of the chain run.
Use
If this indicator is set, all the processes in this chain with errors are judged as successful with regard to the overall status of the run, if they have scheduled a successor process "With Errors" or "Always".
Dependencies
Mailing and alerting is not affected by this indicator. This is also triggered for processes with errors if this has a successor process "With Errors".
Example
You use this indicator in meta-chains to evaluate the run of a subchain as successful in spite of errors in "unimportant" processes. The successors to this process are "always" scheduled, while the successors to key processes are only scheduled "With Success".
Accordingly, successors in the subchain within the meta-chain are only scheduled "With Success"; however they do continue to run if errors have only occurred in the unimportant processes of the subchain.
