Background Job execution enabled via pro-active monitoring

Hi community,
We're interested in CPS Redwood to help us in proactive monitoring of background jobs (Ad Hoc and Periodic) and impacts in system performance.
The idea would be to have somehow a tool that monitor the number of available working process and system performance. When the system workload reaches a certain level, ex: 95%, this tool would intercept new jobs execution. After this, when the system workload goes down and the resources are free, the system would release all jobs to normal run again.
Is it possible via CPS Redwood?
Is there any other way to have something automatic like this?
Thanks,
Jose Antonio.

Hi Jose,
This is possible indeed using CPS. CPS can monitor various load metrics of your system, then adapt the scheduling logic if thresholds are exceeded.
In your scenario, you would basically always intercept all jobs, but normally not enforce any limits so effectively that means all jobs still run immediately. If the load is too high, CPS would enforce a limit, so then jobs will be delayed until the load is lower again.
Regards,
Anton.

ODS Activation - Background Job in SM37 is still active

Hello Gurus,
When I try to activate an ODS Request, the START button is disabled. Then when I select JOBS button on the same screen, it shows the previous ODS activation job with ACTIVE status. But the previous job is already showing as ready for reporting with no problems. Is there any setting where the START button is enabled after the completion of the background job
Thanks in advance

Hi,
There is no setting to enable to START button , it will be enabled automatically once the activation job is completed. Did you check if the activation job that was running was for the latest request? You can check this by looking into the job log where the request ID will be available. Sometimes even if the activation job is running in the background, the request in the ODS will still be in green status-not available for reporting and you tend to think that the activation has not started or the activation for the previous request is still running.
First check the request ID in the job log to ensure which request is being activated and if the activation is completed. After this you can either stop the job or let it run based on the situation.

Shilpa

Pro Active monitoring scripts /solution

-JCAPS 5.1.2
-Unix
I was wondering if anyone would share a sample or example of how they may be using some of the tools available to monitor some of the components in JCAPS?
I see the jconsole and mc4j tools and am able to connect and view the mbean status.
What I would like to do is to pro actively and programmaticaly
- Check an inbound connection status (HL7 tcpip)
- Check an outbound status (Hl7 tcpip)
-Check the jcd svc, tranlation
I was thinking of how one would approach the following requirement
Check the outbound status
If the status is down then attempt to restart the connection and send an email (e.g. component "component" down attempting to restart")
Wait or sleep for 10 minutes check the status again and if it is up send an up message
else if it is still down send a message to differnt email (the on call pager)
It would be nice to be able to present this data in a webpage so the operations folks would see the widget status other than eManager.
Thanks in advance

Thanks very much, I am a little behind the curve on all the terminology and have downloaded mc4j as well as jconsole.
Thru trial and error I have been able to start and stop via both jconsole and mc4j. I guess I am most likely making an easy thing way to hard as I do not have a huge programming back ground.
I don't quite understand the structure on the MBEAN tab other than there is a monitor bean (MBEAN) and I see the projects also but I am not quite sure how all the pieces go together.
So when you say JMX interface do you use JCAPS as the interface e.g. prj JMX or do you leverage the other existing toolsets like the jconsole.
Thanks again and I will continue to search the site, as I would like to perform the functionality you just described.

Reg Background job execution

Hi gurus,
I have a doubt in back ground job processing...We have a job which runs for very long time (archiving job). I want that job to run from Sunday morning to evening 6PM again I need to run the same job next sunday morning to evening continuing from previous week stop point.
My question , there is a option in SM37 to STOP the job. If I stop the job and then resume back the same job, will it continue from the point where it stopped?
Is there any way to execute the background job like above scenario. I know it can be done by 3rd party tool, but I want to do the same from R/3
Vinodh

Hi Vinodh,
In later versions of SAP (from Enterprise version if iam not wrong), you can interrupt the archive job and continue later. This is not the feature of background processing, but the archiving job itself.
Interruption is possible on basis of duration of the job and size of archive file. See the following link which details the mentioned feature; go to The Archive Development Kit and see the topic Interrupting and Continuing Archive Sessions:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_47x200/helpdata/en/6d/56a06a463411d189000000e8323d3a/frameset.htm
Hope this helps to work towards the solution of your problem.

Checking Memory Usage via the Activity Monitor

In trying to find out why iPhoto is so slow, it was suggested that I check the activity monitor to see what applications are using the most memory. Here is what I saw (see below). Does anyone know what kernel_task is? It is using up the most memorr and I have no idea what it is. I would have asked this of the very generous person who has been helping me but I could not reply to his last post....thanks for any information.

Uninstall it. You don't need it.
Be sure to uninstall it properly - there will likely be files littered around the various LaunchAgent, LaunchDaemon folders.

Record enabling via slide activation not working?

Hello,
I'm a long time Cubase user who is new to Logic, and I came across the section in the manual entitled "Track Button Slide Activation". (p. 118) It says this should work for the Record Enable button, but it does not. Works fune for Mute, Solo, Hide and Protect (haven't tried Freeze or Node), but not for Record Enable. Am I missing something?
Dual 2.5GHz PowerMac Mac OS X (10.4.9)

Thanks Jim...
I've been working through the manual and discovered the ability to add tracks to a permanent group, as opposed to the temporary group referred to on p. 269. However, Rec Enable still doesn't work on the entire group unless you click this button in the Arrange Window. It doesn't work in the Track Mixer. I suppose it's not supposed to, since the group option is called "Arrange Track Record", but I find this very strange.
Re: p. 269, though - I guess that is totally wrong then? Sure seems like it.

How to stop Active Background Jobs

Hi All,
We have some immediate hotfix to be applied during which there should not be any background job running. At the same time, we don't want to kill the processes forcibly.
Is there any other way to pause/stop the active background jobs and enable later to run where it has been paused/stopped?
Thanks
Vijay

Hi,
I knew these reports to suspend/release scheduled jobs.
So, do we need to wait until the jobs are complete? This should not be the case, as there might be some other jobs which will start while we wait for the existing job to complete.
Any other thoughts.
Thanks
Vijay

Pro-Active Caching Problems After Change that requires Re-Process of Cube?

We currently have Pro-Active caching setup at one of our clients to provide a near real-time refresh.
We are using SQL Server 2012 SP1 Cumulative Update 4.
We are using Views and a Linked Server to pull data from an Oracle Data Warehouse source.
The Pro-Active caching is set-up using a Polling Query which polls for changes every 2 minutes and the silence intervals are staggered to try and assist with processing.
I had significant problems with this setup with Pro-Active caching stopping on several occasions. What was a cause for concern is that the stoppages have occurred on several occasions without any errors being recorded in the Event Log or Flight Recorder
to indicate what went wrong.
This lead to me setting things up as follows to get a stable setup that has been running for several days now :-
- All Dimensions Pro-Active Cache Refresh - 2 Minute Polling Query (Staggered Silence Interval)
- All Measure Groups Pro-Active Cache Refresh - 2 Minute Polling Query (Staggered Silence Interval)
- 2 Measure Groups that had long running Polling Queries had to be scheduled via SQL Agent because no matter they would continuously stop when scheduled via Pro-Active caching. SQL Agent job processes 2 x Measure Groups.
However I have an issue? When I make changes to the underlying database views that do not necessitate a re-process Pro-Active caching runs fine and records the change.
If I make a change to the solution however that necessitates a re-process of any of the Dimensions and Cubes then I have "HY008 - Operation Cancelled" messages in the Event logs for at up to 6 hours before they then disappear.
The errors in the Flight Recorder indicating the detail behind these messages say "Server: Proactive caching was cancelled because newer data became available" and "The
operation was cancelled because of locking conflicts".
I know the first message can appear because of Late-Arriving Facts but I believe we have dealt with this via the Ignore Errors/Unknown member option and why do these message disappear after 6 hours and everything appears stable again?
I appreciate anyone's thought on this?
Is Pro-Active caching stable in the version of SQL Server 2012 we are using?

Never mind. I have solved this myself. The system has been a lot more stable since retiring the SQL agent Job that did the manual processing of the measure groups and switching to Pro-Active caching instead using MOLAP caching only (ensuring
no ROLAP was used).

How to terminate the next job step in Background job?

Hi,
I have the requirement from the user that want to terminate the next job step in the background job that currently running (Status Active).
For example, Background Job A, contains 5 job step, once the background is running, we would like Job A not run thru job step 4 and 5, just run up to job step 3.
Anyone have any idea how can I do that?
Thanks
Nattawat S.

Hi,
Try to delete instead of cancel in SM37.
To cancel and active job, select the job from SM37 and Click on STOP button in application toolbar. You can refer to your other thread for more info.

Tips on managing Activity Monitor?

I'm getting a new MacBook Pro next week. Until then, I'm running my current machine off an external hard drive. However, it's very hard keeping it going. It sometimes works fine for a while, but it always freezes eventually, apparently a victim of insufficient memory.
I just wondered if anyone has any tips on key processes I can close in Activity Monitor to keep it going? I've freed up some memory by using Safari and TextWrangler instead of Chrome and Dreamweaver. In fact, the only programs I have open at the moment are Safari, TextWrangler, MAMP PRO, Activity Monitor and Finder.
Surprisingly, Finder appears to be another major memory hog; it freezes all the time (though not at the moment).
Thanks.

Background Job Monitoring not getting activated

Hi Gurus,
I have been trying to use the batch job monitoring with ccms.
I have a problem in activating the "Background Job Monitoring" in few systems.
I followed the steps in SAP Note 553953 but no use.
In RZ21 i am not able to see the Background Job Monitoring under "Background" MTE .
The same is wokring in Dev but in QA and Prod its not .
Please suggest the solution and cause of the problem.

Hi,
in SAP Solution Manager there are actually tools to support you in implementing the Job Scheduling Management (JSM) standard and these tools cover the request, documentation, schedulign and monitoring of a job.

Background job monitoring - alert from second failure

Hi All,
There is a need for configure monitoring for background jobs.
I have been enabled background job monitoring via SE16 and background job is visible in RZ20.
The problem is that we want to have a critical alert from second failure of certain job, not from first failure.
Seems that I need to create a new method and assigne it to background job in RZ20?
Is there a documentation how to create own method? or is there a another way to implement this monitor?
Best Regards,
Jani Mäki

Hi,
Do you want to monitor second failure on a day?
Do you know the schedule of second job run?
If yes to these questions, you can try to monitor using BPM in solution manager.

Hide fields for activities when they are opened via Activity Monitor

Hi,
In CRM 5.0, my requirement was to hide a number of fields from activity display via transaction CRMD_ORDER & CIC0 (SAPGUI based transactions). I achieved it by using screen variant. I assigned my screen variant to different transactions (CRMD_ORDER, CIC0 etc.), and things were working fine.
But when I open activity monitoring report (transaction S_AE2_89000019), search for some activities and open an activity by double-clicking in the report, the hidden fields become visible. Although, the transaction being displayed in CRMD_ORDER.
I couldn't enable my transaction variant for transaction S_AE2_89000019, obviously because this is a report transaction which in turn opens activity when we double-click on the grid.
Any idea how to avoid these hidden fields being displayed via S_AE2_89000019?
Regards,
Kaushal

Hey Kaushal,
Let me first inform you the following:
1) Transaction Variant are associatated to Dialog transactions only......Which means when u call report which eventually refers the same transaction even then the transaction variants is not called....
For the whole transaction variant to workout, you need CALL transaction " ..."....
2) The transaction S_AE2_89000019 is not a dialog transaction, its a parameter transaction which eventually calls a report AQZZ/SAPQUERY/SMCRM_REP_ACT1==
3)This report in turn uses the call to FM CRM_1O_CALL_FOREIGN which launches that crmd_order transaction screen and not crmd_order transaction..
You can enchance that report by creating a z report and inside that z report you can fulfill your requirement..
Inspire ppl by reqwarding..

Anand...

Long time for execution for scheduled CIF background jobs

Hi,
we hv schedlued CIF background job to be run daily around 10.30 PST.
there is large variation for the time required for execution of this job.
on 26 Dec, it took approx 48000 seconds while regular average is 120 seconds only.
today, despite past of 6000 seconds, the job is still in ACTIVE stage.
can anyone know why such long delay for such jobs?
how can i reduce its execution time (as one of case in a week)?
rgds/Jay

Hi Jay,
A few obvious things to look for:
1. Multiple CIF activation jobs running at the same time
2. Large change in the master data, eg new plant, new Material Masters, new customers, etc etc.
3. Conflicts with other non CIF programs that may be going after the same data
4. Communication degradation between the OLTP and SCM clients
Normally you refer such questions to someone on your Basis team, or perhaps your DBA. They can turn on tracing tools that can track the changes in your environment that may be contributing to the changes in run time.

DB49
