Check syntax of process chain get three variants with yellow color

When I click the "Checking View" picture icon to check the syntax of process chain, find there are three variants with yellow color. All the displaying msgs of the three yellow color variants says:
There must be a type "Read PSA and Update Data Target" process behind process "Execute InfoPackage" var.ZPAK_3WN4PJ43QNW7DC2Z3ZV532ZFF in the chain
What does this mean? Do we have to take care of the three yellow color errors?
Thanks

Hi Kevin,
Sometimes you need to instruct process chains explicitly. Even though you have it mentione din your InfoPackage, still it needs another process (and variant) to load from the PSA to the data target. In the RSPC screen where all the processes are listed on the left hand side, under Load Processes and Post Processing, you will find Read PSA and Update Data Target as the second process.
Hope this helps...

Process chain stops in infopackage with yellow status

Hi Gurus,
We are experiencing some difficulties regarding the use of process chains with warnings. Our SAP BI system is connected to an ETL server which feeds us with data from other systems. We have a query that has a push-button functionality that starts a process chain beginning with data extraction with an infopackage and ending in a infocube. The problem we have nowadays is that whenever the ETL workflow fails the infopackage status remains yellow, while our objective would be a red status. To try and solve this problem we forced a timeout in the infopackage. Once we check the log in the process chain it displays a message containing something like "status request modified , do you wish to add subsequent processes?", if we say yes it refreshes the status of the infopackage to red and it all goes ok. What we want is to get rid of this warning and that the status is automatically changed. We've checked other posts and we didn't reach any conclusion... Note 708480 gives us a possibility of automatic desicion but how could we integrate it in our process chains since it is based on shcedulling and not triggers?
Your help would be much appreciated,
Thank you
Bruno Rodrigues

Hi,
We have two connected links in the process, one to continue the process chain when process status is green and other link to red status. The problem is the process status remains yellow until our confirmation in pop-up.
The process chain should be started by user in web browser. So, it isn't possible run it in background.
Thank you,
Regards,
BR

How to check the scheduled process chain in SM37

Hi Experts,
Can anyone tell me how do I check whether my process chain has been scheduled or not.
I checked in sm37 all the jobs that are under released status. Im getting about 10 jobs.
I dont know which one is belogs to my process chain as they do not have the process chain names.
Can anyone please let me know how do I confirm whether one of the released jobs below to my process chain.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
To find this out, in sm37, select the job and click on step button in toolbar. You would find the program name RSPROCESS.
Click on this job and then go to menu bar and select goto-> variant.
In the variant, you can see the process chain that has been used for this job.

Process Chain gets unschedule after execution

I've created 1 event based process chain
i'm triggering this event from an abap program.
but after executing the process chain, the process chain gets unschedule automatically. I've used BP_RAISE_EVENT FM to trigger the event.
Thanks in advance.

Hi AG,
Can you please check the value of profile parameter:
rdisp/rfc_min_wait_dia_wp in you remote BW system. Is it 1?
If that is the case please increase the value to a more suitable value. This will determine the number of waiting dialog work processes in your system.
It is dynamically switichable. Please try this out and check the results.
Please award points if issue got solved.

Process Chain Red 'X', Exec Infopckg Yellow, Infopckg monitor/data correct

Dear and respectable colleagues of the forum,
I am experiencing a problem in a process chain when executing infopackages. The process chain has 6 "Execute infopackage" processes. Sometimes (1 of 4 attempts average) my process chain ended with red color with 'X' status in the Process Chain Display Log View.
Reviewing within the chain Log, there is one of the "Execute infopackage" processes that appears in yellow color (it loads from direct update ODS to an infocube). However, revising the Logs for its corresponding Infopackage execution I found that it says that "Data successfully updated". Moreover, If I review the data loaded it seems to have been loaded correctly.
Then, Why does the "Execute infopackage" process in PC finishes with yellow color if the Infopackage execution itself finishes correclty?
To complete the whole scenario: I execute this process chain every night from an Abap program; the program has a Loop that traverses a table, and executes the process chain as many times as the quantity of rows in that table (table has 10 rows meaning offices). As you can understand, the chain is executed 10 times, and the error occurs in any of the 6 "Execute infopackage" processes indistinctly.
I review ST22 and SM37 for all users for the datetime when the error occured butnothing bizarre was reported. It is left to review SM21.
The following is the detail of messages.
Logs for Execute Infopackage
   Data successfully updated
Monitor of Infopackage
Details Tab
     Requests (messages): Everything OK
     Extraction (messages): Everything OK
     Transfer (IDocs and TRFC): Everything OK

       Llena cubos de carteras vtas sec por distrib - autom

Dear s v desh,
I am on SAP BW 3.5, I already checked the cube and it is green - all right.
The message in the infopackage excution node in the process chain says (non-error):
"Data successfully updated"
The error message in process chain monitor (log) says:
......"Overall status: Error occurred: or: Missing messages
............Process Chains : Errors occurred"
I just realized that there is no messages at all in the infopackage monitor (log).
I have received a clue, someone asked me to review note 1396417, and I will.

Local Process chain getting failed

Hi All,
My local process chain is getting failed due to the following error.
"Job started
Step 001 started (program RSPROCESS, variant &0000000068733, user ID ALEREMOTE)
Start process CHAIN EC_EW_M_COMPLAIN_ZMTCOCR1 in run 1HN75DVW2PG2WFU98WGFIXOGV of chain EC_EW_M_TRAN_L1
Communication buffer deleted from previous run F0CDWKC96L0O0D8NQBGVHYK9R (status X)
Chain Is OK
No job found
Job cancelled after system exception ERROR_MESSAGE"
How to resolve this issue?
Thanks,
Sathya

Hi
Communication buffer deleted from previous run F0CDWKC96L0O0D8NQBGVHYK9R (status X)
This means, the previous step is completed and system should get the status as G(green), but in above system got this as X(Deleted). That's why system unable to start the next process(your local chain).
I don't think, this is an issue with background processes.
try to repeat the step once again and monitor the display messages, if you get same error again check process type before this local chain.

Venkatesh

"Save Hierarchies" step in Process chain getting failed

Hello all,
After searching thoroughly through various links / forums, i failed to get a solution. So, I am posting here.
Recently we had a system copy. After that, in Quality system - "Save all Hierarchies" step in PC is getting failed.
I ran the process chain for 3 times till now:
1) Sometimes, it fails at batch monitor itself with UNCAUGHT_EXCEPTION runtime error.
2) Sometimes, it fails saying "Error 0 when reading PSA 1" & "No hierarchy found for the selection criteria entered".
When it fails with "Error 0 when reading PSA 1", then the above Hierarchy info package which is green automatically turns RED again with Process monitor saying "No PSA tables for the selection criteria".
I also went through the below sdn links.
http://scn.sap.com/thread/278794
http://scn.sap.com/thread/1753212
Things I did:
1) Tried replicating & activating the Transfer rules and Data source.
2) Repeated the step, as suggested in one post.
3) Refreshed the OLTP hierarchies in Infopack. selections.
I have attached a screenshot of a sample Data source which says Modified, though the transfer rules are active. Also, the process chain sample.
Please let me know, if someone has faced this issue. Whatelse did I miss? Any clue.
Thanks,
Vikranth.

Hi Raman,
I couldn't retransport, but i removed it from schedule and re-activated it. But, i think the issue lies with one of the Info objects 0PROFIT_CTR.
Because, when i tried to check the hierarchy structure; there are duplicate entries for one code. Can we delete one of them? Is it preferable.
I tried using OSS and used a program RSR_REPAIR_INFOAREAHIER but this showed no errors.
Any clue?
Thanks,
VIkranth

How to check the parent process chain of a meta chain

Hello Friends,
Recently I joined a new project, which is of environment BW 3.0. I am trying to find the dependent process chain's parent, but could'nt able to find them. I went through all the process chains manually to check whther the dependent process chain is mentioned in them, but could'nt find any......
Can any of you help me to know how to find the parent process chain of a meta chain ?
I really appreciate your time, will be awarding points to any answers.......
Thanks,

Hello Radhan,
thanks for your quick reply. I searched the table based on your advice, but i could'nt get the parent process chain's name. Can you throw some more ideas please..........
Thanks,

How to add Abap program in process chain to check the another process chain status and do accordingly

Hello All,
My requirement is related to process chain 1 . I have one process chain in that i have to put abap program in middle of that chain . This program will check the status of one another process chain 2 status ( whether it was completed or it is going on). if it is completed then continue the Process chain 1 to further activity else wait to complete Process chain 2 .
Here i have to use process chain 2 as a parameter.
Kindly provide me solution .
Regards
Saurabh

Hi Saurabh,
You need to create ABAP program in which you check the values for required process chain in
following table
RSPCLOGCHAIN (Feilds ANALYZED_STATUS LOG_ID)
Depend on values you can trigger next process or you can wait unitil this process chain complete.you need to check status from table using ABAP.
If you are not aware about how to write ABAP program then take help from ABAP Team.

Process chain transport issue: variant

Hi xperts!
I've an issue regarding incomplete transports of process chain variants.
I've maintained the variant description & the recipient list.
When the request is imported in QAS, I'm missing the details of the variants. QAS-table RSPCVARIANTT is empty regarding type MAIL.
In addition the recipients 've not been imported too.
How can I transport the missing settings?
Pls. give an advice. Txs a lot in advance.
Hermann

Hi,
would suggest you to go by this..
in the RSPC t-code go to the chain you want to transport and activate each step and sub chain if any...firsy and store it in a temporary request ....and then click on the truck button the top.....it will take you to the transport connection and there you can see obnjects are still in temp TR.
delee these TR now refresh the window of transport connection and you will see that it's not present in any TR now.
once done just select the main chain and then again create TR.
this time you can see it contains all the objects.
try to keep only necessary objects and delete all the unwanted objects from that.
Thanks

Process Chain Status Red, DTP status yellow, DTP is green from inside

Hello All,
I have a problem where the Process Chain status is red, but the process(DTP) status is yellow.
When I right click on the yellow process there is no error message and the DTP is green in Process Monitor.
But the chain did not complete and the rest of the process steps are grey.
After 20 minutes the Process Chain ran again(automatically after new data arrived) and this time without errors and it went green.
My question is, how to proceed with the red Process chain and complete the further process and make it green.
Regards
Alex

hi,
There are scenarios where you need to change status of a process chain or a particular step in process chain.
You might need to change the status in the cases where we need mark these steps successful so that dependent steps get processed. There are other scenarios where one needs to change the status of a single step in the process chain or status of whole process chain.
Step by step instructions on change process chain status
1. Right click on the failed step in the process chain monitor and go to displaying messages
2. Go to u2018Chainu2019 tab and note down variant, instance and start date
3. Go to SE16 and the table RSPCPROCESSLOG and enter variant, instance and start dates from step 2 and note down log_id, type, variant, instance.
4. Go to SE37 transaction and execute the function module RSPC_PROCESS_FINISH and enter the values from step 3 and enter the new status u2018Gu2019 in status field and execute the FM
5. This sets the status of the process chain (PC)
After you set the status using the FM, go to the monitor screen of the process chain, you will notice the changed status. Now dependent steps in the process chain will start running
Thanks

Process chain doesn't even with errors in bacrground processes

Hi experts,
I need your help again.
My client is using a process chain to automate the consolidation process in SEM-BCS. This is done using variants of programs UCBATCH01 and UCBATCH11.
The problem now is that the process chain doesnu2019t stop even though the steps have errors. The validation tasks are the best example.
Do you know a way to make the process chain stop?
Best regards
João Arvanas,

Hi Marsy,
I'm having the same issue as discussed in this thread and since I am still very new in BCS I have some additional question
1. Is the status table for task that you are referring to = /1SEM/UCS001USV1 ?
2. I read in another source that status table only store the latest run log ? not historical ? is that true or would you might be aware of a historical table ?
3. The table split cons area task run status into each of the cons unit, so if one of them has error, basically the task error
Thank You,

Is a save step neccessary in a Process Chain when loading hierarchies with an ABAP program?

We are loading hierarchies using the ABAP routine found here in the SDN.
We have come accross the issue where the process chain loads successfully, but does not update the hierarchy (this problem is documented in the SDN). It is not a consistent issue, but it causes problems when it does occur.
OSS note 652856 points out that a SAVE HIERARCHY step is needed after the load and before the Change Attribute run.
We have added the step to the process chain, which leads me to the question.
In using the ABAP program to load hierarchies is the addition of the Save Hierarchy step necessary?
Will that resolve the issue with hierarchies not updating?

Hi Bill,
Yes, SAVE HIERARCHY step is required when hierarchies are loaded as part of process chain. This step ensures that the hierarchy data loaded to BW has been saved. Then we have to run ACR so that these hierarchies will be activated and adjusted.
This is the reason why even the hierarchy data loaded using infopackage needs this step. This step is not required if the Infopackage is triggered manually.
This link will help you in better understanding

How to delete old schedule time of process chain after changing

I am try to change the schedule time of process chain on production but after changed the old schedule is still working (i.e. every day on 7 am I want change it to 6 am only) ,one process scheduled two time.
I want only last changed. How to remove the older one?
Thanks

hmm wierd...one more thing check if this process chain get trigger by anyother process chain by some abap program or any.
Check the table rspcchain to know if it has any meta chain or not. IF not follow the below steps :
make your process chain trigger based upon the event. Follow the below step.
1.SM64 ---> Create event -
> come to your process chain -> maintain the start variant -> event base---> give that event name here.Now we will be require to create the job which will trigger this event for this.
2.Let us take the below PC as example;
ZL_TD_HCM_004 -- This PC is running after event u2018START_ZL_TD_HCM_004u2019
3.Go to T Code: SM36 Here we define the Background job which will be available in SM37 after saving it.
4.It will ask for ABAP Program to be entered. Give it as Z_START_BI_EVENT and Select Variant from the list. (Based on Process chain, you can select it)
5.Then select Start Conditions and give the start time of process chain. and select periodicity.
6.Save the newly created job in SM36.It will be now available in SM37.
This should solve your problem now .. have fingure crossed
Thanks,
Deepak
