BI_PROCESS_TRIGGER Jobnname

Hi all,
is there a way to avoid that a planned process chain always gets the Jobanme BI_PROCESS_TRIGGER in the Job Overview; i knwo how to get what is behind the BI_PROCESS_TRIGGER; but i want to avoid this silly clicking in order to get to know which Process Chain is behind exactly one BI_PROCESS_TRIGGER-Job.
Thanks a lot
Marc

Hii Mazdul,
Usually BI_PROCESS_TRIGGER will take very less time.. cos it only triggers..
if the job is taking more time ..
-->go to sm37
--> giv the jobname there and press F8
-->if you see the job is still active, j
--> double clik the job, go to -->job details and make a note of the server name and the Work Process ID..
then come back and then clik Application server, and then search for the Work Process ID and see whether the job is progressing or not...
usually if the job takes a long time.. especially the trigger job, contact your basis team
also you can check SM66 and observe the servers there...
or you can also try rescheduling the PC again...
we too experienced this type of problem, if the servers are busy.. or if there is any breakdown in these servers.. this issue will araise...
contact ur basis team...
Regards
Prince

Getting Error in BI_PROCESS_TRIGGER job

Hi Gurus,
We are getting the below error when we schedule the process chain BI_PROCESS_TRIGGER job.If we manually execute it is working fine
Job started

We have referred 498179, but this is for java..but ours in SAP BW 3.5 withour java.
Please help on this.
Thanks,
Jagadish

Hi Jagadish,
This RSAR051 error means the message container slot is full. This is the reason for this chain you couldnt find any alerts in RZ20 any more. For seeing the alerts in BCCMS monitor, you need to goto the transaction rz20:
SAP CCMS Technical Expert Monitors
 CCMS Selfmonitoring
 MoniInfra_<Instance>
 Space
 FreeAlertSlots (doubleclick)
There is probably an inconvenient value for the parameter settings as of SAP Note 135503,(alert/MONI_SEGM_SIZE). Please enlarge the current value it as per SAP Note 135503.

REGARDS,

It is supposed to be in Released status.
The BI_PROCESS_TRIGGER job is scheduled to run based upon the event being triggered (from your ABAP program). The only thing this job does is trigger the event that runs the next process in your process chain. If you set up the Start variant in your PC to schedule "After Event" and you set the periodic flag, then after the BI_PROCESS_TRIGGER job finishes, it will reschedule itself. So, there will always be a BI_PROCESS_TRIGGER job in a Released status.
Again, the BI_PROCESS_TRIGGER job does not run the entire chain. It only triggers the next processes in your chain.
Does this help?
PS. Are there any BI_PROCESS_TRIGGER jobs in a Complete status? If not, then there is an issue with your ABAP program.

PC Error : Job BI_PROCESS_TRIGGER could not be activated

Hi ,
When I am trying to activate and schedule a PC it gave me error message :
'Job BI_PROCESS_TRIGGER could not be activated'( return code 8).
Request let me know how to solve this issue.

Hi Friend,
Please go to the Menu bar Process Chain -> Attributes -> Execution User.
Select the BW Background user and give the name of the background user in your system.
Then Activate and schedule the process chain as desired.

Process Chain hangs - BI_PROCESS_TRIGGER

I kick off a process chaing and check SM37.
Job BI_PROCESS_TRIGGER appears in active mode.
The job log shows "Job started" but that's it.
The job never ends and the data doesn't come in.
Has anyone had this issue before? BW 3.5 Highest support pack: SAPKW35010

Hi,
We have encountered that problem before but an advance correction solved the problem. We are running BW 3.1 while you have BW 3.5 so I presume that the advance correction we applied is already in your system.
You may find additional help from OSS. Search BI_PROCESS_TRIGGER or "Process Chain".
It could be a program issue.
Check also if you can run your infopackages separately (just to isolate if the problem is within the process chain or in your actual process steps such as Infopackage loading).

BI_Process_Trigger

Hi,
We have just implemented BI 7. We have a java stack on the federated portal. I have a meta process chain that runs other chains. When I schedule the process chain to run a couple minutes later it runs fine. However if I schedule the chain to run early next morning (delta loads) this does not work. BI_Process trigger is released for the first hour then it disappears from SM37. There are no logs to show that the trigger has run or been cancelled. we have SP 11.
Also how does the federated portal handle background and dia processes and how does it handle parallel processing.
Regards
Avinesh

Thanks for your answers,
They do not help. As I mentioned before, I schedule the jobs, they appear in SM37 the bi process trigger disappears after an hour. (this must be a timeout setting some where). If I schedule the jobs to run 2 minutes or 15 minutes later they run but if I schedule the jobs to run 3 hours later it does not. I have checked the not 1016317 and this is definitely not the symptom as I make sure the data and time for the loads are correct and in the future.

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?

Issue in SAP CPS for Job Interception

Issue in SAP CPS for Job Interception
Scenario:
After triggering a Process Chain in BW and maintaining the Job Interception settings in SAPCPS(Redwood)
(so that any job which triggers in BW by that Particular User is intercepted and not let it proceed further until the job is released in SAP CPS.)
Issue:
The Jobs are getting into Waiting status in SAP CPS(Redwood) even though there is no progress in loads in BW side. Also the Jobs are in Intercepted state even after releasing the Parent Job in SAP CPS(Redwood).
Please let us know how to go about it.

Hi Ramesh,
What you plan to do is called monitoring of process chains (ie. process chains not started from CPS) and this should be available in the latest version of CPS.
This requires the interception of only the BI_PROCESS_TRIGGER process, just as you have configured now, and other than that the following prerequisites:
SAP Note 1080558 describes the SP levels for the BW/BI releases
XBP 2.0 or higher
Redwood transport files must be loaded
ProcessServerService.SAP.XBPVariant license key
Maybe this helps,
Anton.

RSPC Variant does not exist - Could not find or load print parameters

We are on BI 7.0 (support pack SAPKW70017). We recently freshed test system from production. After the refresh, we have problems opening all the process chains.
1. When I go to RSPC to open a process chain, I get many messages like this:
Variant &0000000067180 does not exist (there are different variant numbers)
Message no. DB612
Diagnosis
You selected variant &0000000067180 for program RSPROCESS.
This variant does not exist.
2. When I go to SM21 to check the system log, it displays many entries like below:
EJ F Could not find or load print parameters for step 1, job BI_PROCESS_TRIGGER/09134500
Documentation for system log message EJ F :
An error occurred during loading of the print parameters for a
background job step.
The print parameter record may have been deleted even though there was
a still a step that needed that data. This is an error as the
reorganization of the print parameters should prevent this from
happening.
To fix the problem, edit the step and save it, copy the job, or
schedule a new job. The print parameters will be regenerated in all
these cases.
3. I applied the OSS note 1169659 - Correction: Process variants not entered by BDLS. The Basis rerun BDLS. But it did not fix the problem.
Would appreciate if someone could provide any help.
Thank you.

Hi Rebecca.
1) Please verify if exist process types called 'unknown job'. If exist: delete process types called 'unknown job' in your process chain. To do that please remove the chain from scheduling (menu bar > process chain > remove from schedule), afterwards switch the detail view on (menu bar > view) > right mouse click on the process type "unknown job" > displaying scheduled jobs > delete that job. After deletion of the 'unknown jobs' activate and schedule your process chain again.
2) After the removal of the 'unknown jobs' please check if the error messages with the missing variants pop up when calling your process chain disappears. If not, please implement and execute the attached report Z_FIND_JOBS_WITHOUT_VARIANT which deletes the jobs without variants.
I have already attached report as Report Z_FIND_JOBS_WITHOUT_VARIANT, you can download and create the report accordingly.

Process Chain changing start time?

hi guysm i have 76 process chains that run every day in BWD system, so i removed all the timings from the start variant and in the infopackages, but it seems some process chains are still running, i did do the following steps on chnaging the time from a particular time to immediate, Save, Check and activate, i didnt schedule it as i dont want it to load right away .
do i have to hit check , save , schedule once i change the time from a particular time to immediate load or activate will work as well.?
what else could be the cause of process chains still loading even there are no events, or time given to any process chains at all.
i went to sm 37 and i can see the bi process are all running at the time they were orignially set up on.
so any suggestions would help,
is there any way from sm 37 i can tell which process chain is triggered off?
thanks
Dante(devils never cry)

Dante, the start conditions on the infopackages do not affect when they run in process chains. The process chains have their own start job. If you want to change the start time of a process chain, then you need to go to maintain the process chain, right-click on the Start process and select Displaying Scheduled Job(s)... . Here you will see a job called BI_PROCESS_TRIGGER. Change the start conditions of this job.
The start job for all process chains is BI_PROCESS_TRIGGER, so using SM37 may be difficult to identify which BI_PROCESS_TRIGGER job is associated to a particular chain.
Also, to let you know, each process in a process chain has an associated job. All jobs called BI_PROCESS_xxxxx are jobs associated with a process chain.
Eg.
BI_PROCESS_LOADING is an infopackage.
BI_PROCESS_TRIGGER is the start job
Does this help?

Error while Executing Process chains

Hi All,
Initially i have created infopack with full load and Executed it manually, later i have changed same infopack to Delta load and kept in Process chains, when i execute the Process chains, the start Process have get triggred, but my Process stops at load data.when i have check the log file it is showing the Below Message:
"Message_Type_x" " "
"CL_RSSM_LOADING===============CP" or "CL_RSSM_LOADING===============CM005"
In Sm37 it is showing
BI_PROCESS_TRIGGER is Finished
BI_PROCESS_LOADING is Cancled
Please help meto find out what might be the cause of this Error.
Note: The infopackage will get data from Generic data Source.
when i run the Process chains, the request is not going to R/3 Side.
Thanks and regards,
santosh.

Hi Santosh,
Go through this below note.
Note 852443 - Dump in include LRSSMU36/RSSM_OLTPSOURCE_SELECTIONS.
If Init is successfull then you can manually try the delta and check it.
Hope this helps

BW error in training hierarchy

I have been getting the same error everyday for the last couple of weeks in BW. (see error at the bottom)
When looked in the Monitor I noticed the errors stated:

This occurs in our training hierarchy but when I look at the data there it looks fine.
Please advise me on a course of action to take. Thank you!

the work around would be go for a ABAP program in R/3 to append some number after the duplicate records.. so that no more deemed to be duplicates in BI

How to find the settings in ProcessChain

Hi All,
One of the Process Chains is updating data in BW two times in a day(not periodic with different timings).
When i have checked the backgroundjob(BI_PROCESS_TRIGGER) for that Process Chain it triggered only once in a day whereas when i have checked just one infoPackage in chain it is triggering 2 times in a day.
Since my requirement is to set another chain as like above chain (same) i am unable to find the settings how it has done.
i have checked option for that infoPackage in Schedule tab we are using Start Data Load immediately(Scheduling options grayedout)
I also checked where used list in the Tab it is used in One Chain only
Can anybody help me.
Regards,
Chakri

Hi Chakri,
Goto the infopackage -> scheduler tab -> click the scheduling option and remove f any option is there. Now the infopackage would get triggered only through the process chain.
Also check if the same infoapckage is not used in any other process chain by clicking the process chain button in the scheduler tab of the infopackage.
Bye
