Change in the model of Process chain and its impact

Hi,
We have lot of infopackages included in the Process chains which has the processing type as "PSA only and then update subsequently in data targets".
Now i had changed some of the infopackages to the processing type as PSA and then into the data targets option!
But in the process chain the process type update from PSA is still existing!
I am not sure whether i should remove this process type in process chain after changing the process type in the scheduler
Any ideas?
Raj

hi raj,
do not remove the PSA & update step as it is a fulproof method for the data load.
if u'll try to remove and activate the Process chain it will show warnings but still activate the chain.
the data load sometimes may get loaded and other times it may not reflect in the data target although the step will be green in the process chain.

arvind.

To find only master data process chains and its infopacakges!!!!

Hi,
I have a task to remove the setting in the scheduler of directly assigning to data targets instead of PSA and then to data targets of the whole system!!!
i should not touch though the transactional info packages settings!!
these infopackages must exist in process chains -
how to go about this??

Hi,
If I have understand your point, then you want to change the setting of the infopackages that includes in the Process chain pertaining to the master date.
Then you can change the settings directly in the processing tab.
Or if you don't want to change the settings of the IP s that are in the Process chain,then go to RSA1 >> Select those IP s >> rigt click and copy it.Then you can change the settings there.
You can run each IP manually.Or if you want the same chain just with the changed settings,then copy the chain and put this new IP in place of the old one and schedule the chain.
If your doubts are cleared then kindly assign me some points.

List of all the process types used in the creation of process chains

Hi Gurus,
I am new to process chains creation, can any one give the list of all the process types used in the creation of process chains and there uses also.
Please search the forum before posting a thread
Edited by: Pravender on Jan 4, 2011 4:18 PM

Hi,
As process chain is to automate the data load step.
For Ex:- If you are loading data from R/3 to DSO CUBE.
Here you require Info package to load till PSA.
DTP to load till DSO
Another DTP to load Cube.
And all other process like psa deletion AND process you can find in RSPC tab.

How to get the name of user who last changed the settings of process chain

Hi All,
I have a process chain which runs daily. At one atep it would load data till PSA then there was a separate process to update data from PSA. But recently someone changed the settings and data is loaded in PSA and data target in parallel. But the process update data from PSA is also there still and as a result giving error as data already reached infocube. I wish to know who changed the settings. I searched and found about tcode SGL1 but not getting any fruitful result. Can anyone pls suggest anything.
Thanks in advance,
Sananda

Hi There,
In your case, nobody has changed the settings in process chains. However, it appears that someone has changed the Processing mode in the Info package. Since now the infopackage has already run after the change was made, I don't think there is any way to find who has changed the setting in the infopackage.
However, the solution would be to just switch back the processing mode from "PSA and Data Targets in Parallel" to "Only PSA".

hi Narendra,
try RSPC->choose your process chain, go to menu process chain-attributes-display component (shift+F11)-> a small screen 'assign display grouping will come out', choose the 'directory' you want. save the process chain and 'refresh'.
hope this helps.

Process Chain and CPS

Hello all,
We are currently having a problem with submitting process chains. When the chain runs it does not display any of steps in the process chain and where they are running from the job we submit (RSI_START_BW_CHAIN) So what we see is that the PC has been submited and completes in say 17seconds...however everything is still running on the system...for example our CIF PC runs for 3hrs but alls we are able to see is that the job executed from CPS with no problem. I've been digging around trying to find clear documenation about PC and CPS with little luck. Am I approaching the job submission incorrectly? We are on 7.0.3.

Hello,
You should be using the RSI_RUN_BW_CHAIN job to start process chains. Maybe you can try that first. For the rest things should be straight forward. Depending on the BW backend systems you might encounter some issues, with BW 7 the synchronization has changed and you would be better of using one of the latest 7.0.4 versions (SP6 has just been released).

Process Chain and Info Package Transportation?

Hello All
Case 1
How to transport a Process chain and a Info Package Individually?(first time from DEV to QA)
Case 2
I have 9(IP1 to IP9)infopackages and 3(P1 to P3) Process chains and in each Process chain I have 3 Info packages like IP1,IP2,IP3 in P1 and so on.,
Now is it necessary to transport Infopackages and Process chains individually or is it enough to transport Process chains only(If v transport Process chains will the Infopackages will also transport)then how to assign a request to each one?
What I mean is,all Infopackages are in $TMP(Package),and Process chain is also $TMP,Now is it necessary to change the package for Infopackages as well as Process chain and Tranport only PC,Iam confused here,can anyone help me out?
Many thanks
balaji

Hi Balaji,
If you have created new infopackages then you have to transport them. It is not necssary to transport the info-packages if you have them in the process chain but have not changed them.
Also you cannot transport any BW object with $ tmp package. Assign a package and then transport the objects.
The best way to transport the process chain is from the RSPC screen. Click the transport button there and collect all the objects and transport them.
Bye

How to create process chains,and how to use process like and or xor

Hi,
How to create process chains,and how to use process like and or xor.
can any one please give me a example in each.
Thanks,
cheta.

Hi Cheta,
Here is step by step procedure to create process chains
Process chain is nothing but executing a process ..(or) loading the data any process we can do in background.. that means.. automatically we can execute our process based on Time or any event..
Creating Process Chains
Prerequisites
If you want to include a load process in the process chain, you need to have already created an InfoPackage.
You cannot load flat file data from a client workstation in the background. For this reason, you have stored your data on an application server.
Creating Process Chains
You have the option of creating a process chain in the process chain maintenance screen directly or by using a maintenance dialog for a process:
Creating a Process Chain Directly in the Process Chain Maintenance Screen
You are in the BW Administrator Workbench.
1. Click on the Process Chain Maintenance icon in the AWB toolbar.
The Process Chain Selection dialog window appears.
2. Choose Create.
3. Enter the technical name and a description of the chain, and confirm your entry.
The Add Start Process dialog window appears.
4. Create a variant for a start process.
1. a. On the Maintain Start Process screen, choose whether you want to schedule the chain directly or whether you want to start it using a metachain.
2. b. If you choose to schedule the chain directly, enter the start date value for the chain under Change Selections and save your entries.
The Maintain Start Process screen appears again.
3. c. Save your entries, return to the previous screen and confirm your entries in the Add Start Process dialog window.
You are taken to the Plan View of the process chain maintenance screen.
In the left-hand area of the screen, a navigation area is displayed. In the right-hand area of the screen, the process chain is displayed.
5. Use the drag-and-drop function to add the relevant processes into your process chain.
You use the Process Types function to select the processes. This sorts the process types according to different categories. You can also call up InfoPackages and processes for the data target from the separate InfoSources and Data Targets navigation trees.
Hope this helps
Regards
Karthik

Unable to see the new transported Process Chain

Hi all,
I just made change to one of existing Process Chain in Dev, and also created a new one. I transported from Dev to Q successfully, but couldn't find it anywhere in RSPC. For the Existing Process Chain, I saw the changes in Q, but the chain's name has not been changed. Do you know why?
Thanks!

If your transport system is not set up to activate the process chain automatically after importing, then your new process chain may have "New:" in the beginning of the description. And since the process chains are organized within each Application Componenet by description, it may not be in the place where you think it should.
You should also check your transport in Dev to insure you collected the new chain.

Incorrect data after activating the request through Process chain.

Dear SDN chaps.
Today morning. I encountered a strange issue in DSO..
I have DSO which is updating from the AL11(application server) flat file.
While i am loading it to PSA there were no issues and after loading it to the DSO there is no issue and its passing through the routine and the data is populating properly in NEW data Table .But after successful activation of the request through process i am getting the wrong records in active data table.
Then i deleted the request and reran it manually i mean triggered the DTP and ran the manual activation surprisingly accurate records are coming through manual process..
I am just wondering why it is not working through process chain and why it is showing incorrect records through process chain execution and how it is showing accurate records through manual uploading process..'
Could some one please help to come out from this..By the way mine is SAP BI 7 SP20 &SP05 for BW 7.01
Thanks
K M R

Hi Pra
Thanks for your response..
We are doing PSA deletion and then we are uploading the data to PSA as well as DSO.
Now the issue is not in the part of loading we are facing the issue in Actiation of request if i am executing the activation through process chain it is sucess but the values are incorrect. If i am doing the manual activation it sucess with correct data.
Even i tried with a new chain but still i am facing the issue.
Surprise thing is in new data table the data is perfect in both the ways like manual upate and Process chain update only during activation i am getting incorrect record in the active data table..
Appreciate your help on this....
Thanks

Error in process chain - AND

Hi Experts,
I am facing problem in process chain execution in the AND node. The error is
This AND process is not waiting for event RSPROCESS, parameter 4941U4Q6QKIR8RFKMAZWYP5JB
I checked the log in ST22 but there is nothing , also no error msg in display msg or maintain variant.
is there any solution?

Hi Soniya.....
The problem is due to the successor process is not activated, again try to
activate the process chain and schedule it.........
As a work around.........if instance and variant is already generated........then continue the process chain using the program : RSPC_PROCESS_FINISH.......
otherwise copy the rest of the chain and execute............To do this open the chain using RSPC1>> in the top where we write tcode.........there write COPY.........Give a name to the new chain.....remove all the processes till AND process...........then create a new Start process..........make the start condition as immediate..........and schedule the chain...
Hope this helps......

Debjani.......

URGENT:Process Chains And events Related

Hi All,
I have created a new process chain which is a normal ODS Process Chain.For that I started with the start Process and then created event in sm62 to trigger the start of process chain.Similarly,I have at the end of the process chain ,I have added 2 ABAP Programs ,one to mark the successful completion of process chain and another to mark the Error or Unsuccessful completion.For these programs,I maintaines Processvariants and here, we have utility Programs.So used the relevant utility program and created a program variant and Events ,One for successful completion of process chain and another to mark the Error or Unsuccessful completion.
But ,Now ,I find that when I trigger the eventin sm64,I find that the process chain is not being run.Is that any problem with the events I created.This is the first i am involved with creation of events in SM62.Can anyone help me in this regard.
Can anyone,tell me thatdo we need to do anything else apart from Creating events .Imean like assigning jobs and then Programs in the Step of that Job.
Please Kindly help me in this regard.It is very very urgent for me.Thank you.Points will be assigned.
Regards,
Samir

Hi,
I have tried in the same way you have said .I have maintained as after event and activated and scheduled.after that i triggered the event insm64.But still,I am not able to see the Load in RSMO.
I have just checked out in sm37.And found that some jobs have failed.I think this might be the reason for the Process chain to not run.
I am just pasting the error msg and solution.
Job BI_PROCESS_ABAP, waiting for event RSPROCESS 489W6WH6I7OHV7BL3N9909F7F, has no predecessor
Message no. RSPC003
Diagnosis
Although job BI_PROCESS_ABAP has been started by event RSPROCESS 489W6WH6I7OHV7BL3N9909F7F and is recognized in the process chain, the current run for this process has no job preceding it.
This is why the system was unable to determine a log ID, and the chain is broken.
System response
The job has been terminated.
Procedure
With the exception of the start process, each process must have a process that precedes it.
Then Another error for the another cancelled job is
Job BI_PROCESS_OR, waiting for event RSPROCESS 489WC2QYBC4AJSYILQ10TWABF, has no predecessor
Message no. RSPC003
Diagnosis
Although job BI_PROCESS_OR has been started by event RSPROCESS 489WC2QYBC4AJSYILQ10TWABF and is recognized in the process chain, the current run for this process has no job preceding it.
This is why the system was unable to determine a log ID, and the chain is broken.
System response
The job has been terminated.
Procedure
With the exception of the start process, each process must have a process that precedes it.
Please kindly help me if you understand the problem.

Samir

Raising an alert at the end of process chain execution

Hello ,
I have a requirement, where I have to raise an
alert(not an e-mail) in Alert Server at the end of data loading process through a process chain.
Is there solution for above requirement?.
Regards
MB

Hi ,
Thank you for taking time and answering my question.
I have found a solution to raise the alert at the end of loading a target through process chain.
Solution :
There is no out of the box option to raise the alert from process chain.
SAP has given a SALRT_CREATE_API function to raise the alert. We have used this function with "ABAP process type" in process chain to raise the alert.

How to send the status of Process Chain to email address?

Hi,gurus here.
We monitor process chains' work status by RSPCM, but it's inconvenient.
Any method to send process chains' work status via email immediately instead of RSPCM?

Any process in process chain fails, below will send mail to mail ID that specified
This can be perfectely done using Tcode ALRTCATDEF.
1. go to ALRTCATDEF
2. select classification "Process Chains"
3. click on display/change
4. double-click on "error in a process of a process chain"
5. click on "fixed recipients"
6. write in your username (you have to maintain your e-mail address in SU01 for that to work)
7. save
8. go to your process chain (rspc)
9. go into edit mode
10. from the menu, select Process chain -> attributes -> alerting
11. check "send alerts if errors occur".
