Background Process trace activation

Hello,
It seems that every couple days (I am trying to determine if there is a pattern still) a trace is activated for at least two (sometimes three) Background processes on our SAP 4.7 central instance server (HP-UX 11 / Oracle 9.4.0.2 DB). I am trying to figure out if this is activated manually by someone trying to fix a problem, or if it is part of a background job that is run. Is there a manner in which I can make this determination, or at least figure out which job is activating the trace? System performance is not affected, outside of the fact that the directory for trace files fills up & has to be cleared out.
Thanks in advance for your input in this matter.

Hi,
One can set the trace for a particular Work process using the Tcode ST12 only. So you should check in ST12 for details that who has run the last Trace in the system.
Otherwise check also Tcode ST01 and ST05 also so that you can also come to know all who has run all kind of traces in the system.
With Regards,
Saurabh

No background processing active on TargetServr BWTCLNT400

Hi There
I am currently working on a landscape where we have had a copy-back on our CRM system, plus the BW system was moved onto new hardware etc etc. the net result is that I am having a nightmare re-establishing the comminications CRM --> BW (which is now sorted) but especially BW --> BW.
I have sorted out all the usual stuff (SM59, WE20, WE21 etc etc) but when I run an update from an DSO in BW to another InfoProvider using the 3.x data flows, I get the following error in SM21:
BP_JOB_MODIFY: Job cannot be modified. Reason:
> Job BIREQU_62ZSSTFTQ5AI5RW1Y429235SE contains invalid data
BP_JOB_MODIFY: Job cannot be modified. Reason:
> No background processing active on TargetServr BWTCLNT400
I suspect this has definitely something to do with me trying to sort out the process chains and de-scheduling the background job for BI_PROCESS_LOADING on the BW system.
When I try to re-shedule this job using SM37, where you define a step for the ABAP Program RSPROCESS the system insist that I should enter a variant (which does not exist). So obviously I am being a muppet.
Does anybody know how I can re-start the Background Processing (I suspect there is a program that needs to be run or something)?
Any help would be MUCH appreciated.
Cheers - Daneel

Hi
I m facing the same error .. please check this note 147104 might be helpful in your issue..
check the entry in table ROIDOCPRMS for target system.. for the current source system.

SAP BI 7 - Background process performance Issue

This question is about efficiency of dialog process compared to inefficiency of the background process and I want suggestions from SAP Basis/BI experts on this.
We have observed that our background processes on BI server are not running as efficiently as we would like them to run.
For example
DSO activation:
When I use Dialog mode for DSO Activation with 3 parallel processes, I can activate a certain DSO with in 15 seconds. But the same DSO and the same data package when activated using background mode with 3 parallel process takes about 15 minutes.(there are plenty of background processes available on the system when this activation is running). So dialog process runs 60 times faster than background process.
In BI 7 most of the operations can be executed only in the background parallel mode. And from the activation example we know that our background processes are not as efficient as dialog processes. It
is understood that in general the background processes will not be as efficient as dialog processes, but in our case the difference is a factor of 60. We want help to identify, why the background processes are not as efficient as dialog processes. What SAP Basis settings need to be changed to make them as efficient as we can. Any suggestion or help will be highly appreciated.

Hello Eswaran
Generally a dialog process is not faster by any means than a background workprocess. Nevertheless i trust you on your observations, so there must be some difference. I just did a small test, i ran SE16 chose a big table and selected 10000 rows, i did 3 tries in dialog and 3 in background. The results:
dialog: 10.2s, 9.4s, 9.6s
background: 26s, 24s, 24s
So even in my simple example the background execution took more time. The issue here is, that the resulting output (which is pretty large) had to be saved additionally in a spool (a total of 167 pages) when executed in background. The selection of the data certainly did not take more time in either case.
The most important difference between dialog and batch processes is the memory management. Dialog processes work with a shared memory segment (extended memory). Background processes have their private heap memory.
Nevertheless, background processes are not "slower" in general, not at all. You will need to observe closer, what your processes are doing. Maybe watching SM50 while running the DSO activation is enough to see it, maybe you need to trace a process. If you see large spools generated, or huge amounts of memory consumed, we might already have an answer.

Generation of MMON process trace files in large file size (GB Size)

Hi,
I have created a database using the dbca in windows platform. Few days I found that, in the BDUMP directory the MMON process trace files are getting generated. The files starts to generate in MB size and will increase upto GB size. I know that the back ground process trace files cannot be disabled. So now iam force to manually delete these files from the bdump directory.plz help me to resolve this issue.
I have checked and verified the SGA size, Shared Pool size and other memory areas.
The statistics level in Typical also.
But still the files are generated.
PLease Helppp.....

How do I turn off background ni file activity when not using Labview? files such as nimxs.exe, nipalsm.exe, nipalsm.exe, nisvcloc.exe, nicitdl5.exe

How do I turn off background ni file activity when not using Labview? I use labview rarely, and I also use my computer for demanding multimedia applications, including multitrack digital audio recording. I need to reduce as much background activity as possible, and taking a look with task manager I see files such as nimxs.exe, nipalsm.exe, nipalsm.exe, nisvcloc.exe, and nicitdl5.exe running even when I haven't used Labview (8 I believe). These files run even after I right click the NI icon on the lower right and turn off the application. I would like the computer to boot up without these files, and for the necessary files to be activated only when I start the program.
Can this be done or do I have to remove labview from the system to improve performance?
Thanks

Hello, those processes are part of running NI services that start when Windows boots. These processes serve varied purposes and stopping them can have undefined and unknown consiquences for your NI products. These products run at "normal" priority meaning that they should be preempted by any process running at a higher priority which I would expect your other application to be doing given their time sensitivity. That being said, in Windows XP (I can't speak for other OSes), you can lower their priorities even greater through task manager (right click the process»set priority) to further remove them from contention for resources. If you want to prevent them from running you can set the service startup type to "manual" in Control Panel»Administrative Tools»Services. Right click the process go to Properties and Under the General tab choose Startup Type»Manual. This will start up the processes only when something directly starts it up. LabVIEW will start these processes up as it attempts to use them. When you shut down LabVIEW you will need to manually shut down these processes through task manager. Again, doing this can cause problems with your NI products on your system and it is not advised.

Background processes while starting the R/3 system

hi all
I have IDES R/3 4.7 installed in my hard disk,
and when i start the background processes normally the status has to be Wait , yes.
But these days when i started the processes, i'm getting the statuses as "Ended" with all the 12 background processes,
and i can't be able to get into the login screen.
can anyone tell how to get the processes states to wait and yes state.
Thanks

Have a look at the dev_-traces located in /usr/sap/work directory. You should pay special attention to dev_w0 and dev_ms, and then look through the other dev_w files.
I guess, there you will find a hint leading you to the cuase of the issue

Can I get some help as to why is it not able to loacte the file when run through background processing when its able to read and excute when I directly run the program. Is theer any settings that I need to set up in the ABAP program itself which will enable to make it happen or else what to do so that I can set a background job to happen successfully.
Thanks

When i checked the background processes, mmon and mmnl processes were not running. When we restarted the database, everything started working fine.
this problems keep coming occasionally. Any help will be appreciated.

Dear muneer.uae,
SHUTDOWN: waiting for logins to complete.&
PMON failed to delete process, see PMON trace fileWell i think those are enough for you to understand the problem but the important thing here to diagnose is the "deadlock". First of all forget about everything and answer the question "do you know what is a deadlock?". If your answer is no, please go to the http://tahiti.oracle.com and search for deadlock.
The problem is not the Oracle database, is the application that you are currently using. You have nothing to do about the suicide of the PMON and if you can not solve it by your own than you need to create an SR call.
Background processes "normally" do not kill theirselves.

Acrobat Mac OS background process saps CPU

I have had a background process on my Mac OS (Mountain Lion and Mavericks) that occassionally shows up. I find it via Apple's Activity Monitor and see it on the CPU tab, and sorted by CPU Time it shows up near the top.
I think it has more to do with Acrobat Pro X (maybe 9 as well), since I haven't seen it while just using Acrobat Pro XI (yet!).
Anyway, the process is called "Acrobat and Adobe Reader" in the listing, with an icon that looks like the Adobe Acrobat updater, the one with the rotating arrow on it. This process will start up at some point, and then it will never quit on its own.
While it runs, it uses up immense amounts of CPU cycles (in the CPU histogram it is the red area that grows higher than 60% of the activity), and consequently other operations get starved, and it makes the CPU run harder and hotter.
The only way I have been able to get it to stop is to select it in the Processes list and call it to quit.
Anyone else run into this? Is there any way to keep it from coming up?
Thank!

CUA - SUIM in client system with background processing of IDOCS

Hi
We have setup CUA in our Solution Manager system 4.0 sr2 SP11 and activated background processing of idocs. When we run SUIM in the child system the user creation/change information is now showing the name of the background user rather than the actual name of the creator/modifier.
Has anyone else seen this before and is it standard functionality or a bug?
Thanks in advance

When you set up CUA you do the inital import of the roles with SCUG, ensure you have the company details correct in each system. Also in each system schedule the background job SUSR_ZBV_GET_RECEIVER_PROFILES, this will get the details of any new roles/profiles setup in the child systems.

Which background process involves in datapump export/import?

Hi guys,
Could any one please tell me which background process involves in datapump export and import activity? . any information please.
/mR

Data pump export and import is done by foreground server processes (master and workers), not background.

RAC instance won't start: ORA-00443: background process "VKRM" did not star

I've logged a SR with Oracle, but while waiting for response from them...I'm stumped I can't find more out here about this article.
On Oracle knowledgebase...any search for VKRM, gives about the same 3 articles relating to RDA (Remote Diagnostic Assistant).
Not sure what went on here.
I have a 5 node RAC cluster. All other instances seem to be running just fine.
On one instance...some applications were getting an error like:
ORA-01033: ORACLE initialization or shutdown in progress
I looked in GRID...and it indicated that only two of the 5 nodes had this instance running...which was strange in that with srvctl, it showed ll 5 up and running:
[oracle@server2 bin]$ ./srvctl status database -d INSTANCE
Instance INSTANCE1 is running on node server1
Instance INSTANCE2 is running on node server2
Instance INSTANCE3 is running on node server3
Instance INSTNANCE4 is running on node server4
Instance INSTANCE5 is running on node server5
Anyway, thought I'd poke around. I started with trying to get srvctl to stop instance #2...in GRID it seemed that instance 2,4 and 5 weren't working.
srvctl stop instance -D INSTANCE -i INSTANCE2
This just hung...
I thought I'd cycle all the nodes...so, did a ctl-c out of that one, and did:
[oracle@server2 bin]$ ./srvctl stop database -d INSTANCE -o abort
PRCD-1124 : Failed to stop database INSTANCE and its services
PRCR-1065 : Failed to stop resource (((((NAME STARTS_WITH ora.instance.) && (NAME ENDS_WITH .svc)) && (TYPE == ora.service.type)) && ((STATE != OFFLINE) || (TARGET != OFFLINE))) || (((NAME == ora.instance.db) && (TYPE == ora.database.type)) && (STATE != OFFLINE)))

The ORA-01034 messages repeats a number of times...and the one with server4 and server5 repeated again too.
I also got this:

CRS-2675: Stop of 'ora.instance.db' on 'server5' failed
CRS-2675: Stop of 'ora.instance.db' on 'server4' failed

I get similar messages when I try to restart.
clusters seem to be up, and other instances seem to be ok
Looking at alert log...I found some strangeness in the traces

Anyone? Anyone? Bueller?
Ok..have been on phone with Oracle support, and have them stumped so far.
I've checked..other instances are running (except one other that failed to cleanly shut down with srvctl and same error messages).
I've check...ASM is running on all 5 nodes. I've used crsctl to check CRS on all nodes..clustering seems ok.
Memory while somewhat high...should have enough room...the system has never complained before, and this has been up on this config for over a year.
I was able on node one...to fire up the first nodes instance using the pfile there...it came up. I started it restrict..and promptly ran a datapump export, and then shut back down.
While Oracle support is going through logs and trace files I sent...I've got another 11Gr2 environment (3 node RAC) I've been using as a test environment...and am recreated the instance there temporarily to allow my developers to test and get past the upcoming deadline.
But, I'm still puzzled as to the solution on the main cluster. This seem to be normal, except these two instances....
any ideas on where and what to look for?

Background process zffd terminated due to missing confirmation

Hi all,
        In production system loading 2500000 lak data load to DSO when try to activate the DSO throwing below error. Kindly guide me on this.
Error:
Background process <ZASDFFF> terminated due to missing confirmation
Thanks

Hello,
To resolve this issue, you should make some adjustments to the DataStore
object parameters, then you should be able to activate the request.
Please make the following adjustments in transaction RSODSO_SETTINGS
(you can adjust this for each DataStore object):
1) Maximum package size (for activation).
    This you should reduce to 10000 (if the value is higher than that)
    Then the package processing will be less time consuming.
2) Maximum wait time for process (for activation)
    This could be increased to e.g. 600 (if the value is lower than this)
See SAP note 1118205 for further information.
Best Regards
Barry

Background process going to " abap/heap limit"

Hi All,
When i check the trace file of the workprocess which is a background process it shows that the
" WP has reached abap/heap limit"
Does this trigger the dialog process into PRIV mode? or is it OK for a background process to reach the heap limit.
Please advise.
Best Regards,
DVRK

Hi Ramakrishna,
The trace you are seeing is for the background process and is no longer related to dailog process.
Some times we can see the abap/heaplimit issues due to background jobs running parallely on the same host.
When the abap/heaplimit reaches max. the job gets cancels
Try to trigger the job on low load instance
(or).
If this occurs on a regular basis. Try to find out the jobs which are failing and tune them accordingly
(or)
Take the help of Basis in fine tuning the abap heap memory parameters.
Hope I answered your query.
Regards
Sandy

Background process BCTL_4CEDE3M8RTW5WPMQ01YVZ4QYE terminated due to missing

Hi,
I am getting following error when i am activating ODS (Bi 7.0)
Background process BCTL_4CEDE3M8RTW5WPMQ01YVZ4QYE terminated due to missing confirmation.
I tried reloading and activating it,
i tried with RSRV adjusts.
I tried changing package size.
I tried reducing parallel executions.
Still not able to activate. Can some one help me.

Here are the short dump details
Short text of error message:
Invalid PBT server group name: PARALLEL_GENERATORS
Long text of error message:
Diagnosis
     The system tried to initialize the environment for processing
     parallel RFCs using the function module SPBT_INITIALIZE. The server
     group name specified was found to be invalid. The server group name
     describes a group of servers on which the parallel RFCs should be
     processed.
System Response
