Completing the block step for parallel processing

Hello ,
I"m using a ParForEach block   .
It works fine and 2   approves get their decision task respectively ,
I want to end all parrallel processes if one of the   approvers select the reject option .
I thought it could be done using the End condition Option .
I have defined an end condition    in the tab Parallel Procesing , the condition is an element wf_result is set to REJECT
was defined.
But   nothing resulted and althogh i check the container and the element is correctly   assigned after one of the approvers
rejects the other is still sitting there.
i ran the condiion evalate button on this step with no   success .
Please Advise

Hi Rina
In EHP4, there is the following workflows for Compensation:
04000022 ECM_SUBMIT
04000024 ECM_REJECT
04000025 ECM_CREATE
together with class CL_HRECM00_WORKFLOW_EVENT.
There, the parallel processing is used.
Best Regards

Issue in completing the block step for parallel processing

Hi,
i have created a workflow where in i have used a block step to send workitems to multiple agents. I have used parallel processing in block step. Number of agents are determined in the runtime. Lets say i have two items in my multiple line container( two agent id). Now inside block statement i have put user decesion step. So at the same time workitems goes to the two approver for approval. When both approver take the decesion after that also command is not coming out of the block step. I want the command to be out of block step after this and goes to the next step of workflow.
Please suggest any helpful solution for it.

Smit Shah

I think theremust be a binding problem , the binding must be some thing like the below
&USERID[&_WF_PARFOREACH_INDEX&]& ----->&_USERID_LINE&
of the block step from WF container to Block Conatiner. Because when I checked in my system it is behaving as you want., I also include one Decision step inside the block, and then hard coded the userid values int the table USERID and made the above binding and it ia working fine and in the Decision Agent I mentiond the EXPRESSION and assigned the value &_USERID_LINE&

What are the configuration steps for cheque process

hi,
sap gurus,
what are the steps for cheque process if our customer wanted to pay by the mode of cheque.

Hi,
Kindly go to OVFD where in you will have to create a new payment procedure if it's not there in standard SAP. Then, you will have to assign this new payment guarantee procedure in customer in sales area data>billing document screen. As far as standard SAP is concerned you will be able to assign the payement by cards in customer master, but for DD process I think you will have to create it.

How to use the Validate step for Approve step

Hi Experts,
I have modeled a workflow with the steps start,process, validate, approve, process and stop.
Process is set to owner and approve is set to some other user user1.
My requirement is as follows :
1) Approve the records by approver and then it should send it to the next step for further processing
1.1) if the approver did not approve the record it should send a error message until the record is approved. So it should not send it to the next step when record is not approved
I am using a field called item status for approving and disapproving the records. My validation is based on this field only... Validation working fine when i tested it manually.
But my issue is when am using this validate step in workflow design validation is getting triggered for all the users.as per my requirement only approver should get the error message.But in my scenario owner is getting the error message and approver is not getting any message.
How can i use the validate step only for particular step say approve in workflow.
Can anyone please help me out how should use validate step only for approve step...
Thanks & Regards
Sireesha.
Edited by: sireesha esukapalli on Jun 17, 2008 2:48 PM

Hi ,
I have set the validation property to "None".
My design is as follows :
start->process->validate->approve->stop.
Owner is assigned to process step and approver is assigned to approve step.
Now my problem is owner is also getting this error message along with the approver. AS per the design both process, approve users are getting the error message.
As per my requirement only approver should get this prompt but not the owner.
How can i restrict only for specifc user to get this message.
Can anybody please advice how can restrict the owner to not get this error message...
Thanks & Regards
Sireesha.

Config Steps for Pick process from warehouse number

Dear Gurus,
Need the config. steps for picking process with warehouse number assignments
Thanks

Hi,
You only need to assign a Warehouse number for the combination of Plant and Storage location in SPRO in assignment of organisational structures in Warehouse Mngt. If this is done, then picking will become mandatory and you can do picking either manually or automatically through LT03 or other transactions.
If this warehouse assignment is not done, then you can put the picking quantity directly in delivery and do PGI. If this assignment is done, then you will be able to do picking only through transactions like LT03, either in foreground or background. In this case, u will not be able to manually update the picking quantity in delivery.
Hope this helps.

Troubleshooting the lockwaits for parallel processing jobs

Hi Experts,
I am facing difficulty tracing the job which is interfering with a business critical job.
The job in discussion is using parallel processing and the other jobs running at the time are also using the same.
If I see a lockwait for some process which may be a dailog process or update process spawned by these jobs, I am having difficulty knowing which one holding the lock and which one is waiting.
So, Is there any way we could identify the dailog or update processes which are used for parallel processing for a particular backgorund job.
Please help me as this is business critical and we have a high visibility in this area.
Any suggestions will be appreciated.......
Regards
Raj

Hi Raj,
First of all, please indicate if you are using SAP Business One. If yes, then you need to check those locks under SQL Management Studio.
Thanks,

Give me the Configuration steps for intercompany billing and third party s

Hi Gurus,
Give me the Configuration steps for intercompany billing and third party sales and give me a brief description with examples.
Regards,
YSR

Dear YSR
Check the links
[Cross Company Configuration|http://help.sap.com/bp_bblibrary/500/Documentation/J62_BB_ConfigGuide_EN_DE.doc]
[Third Party Without Shipping Notification|http://help.sap.com/bestpractices/BBLibrary/html/J55_ThirdPartyWOSN_EN_US.htm]
Third party order processing is as follows:
Assume three companies X, Y and Z
X - The company,
y - The customer
Z - Vendor
When ever X gets a PO from Y to supply some goods, X has an option of either manufacturing those goods or procuring those goods.
If he is procuring the goods, there are two methods that are generally followed:
Method 1)
After receiving the PO from Y, X creates a sales order against Y.
Now at the same time he also creates a PO to a vendor Z to produce the goods
Z produces the goods and supplies to X
X receives the goods from Z
Then X delivers the same goods to Y.
After that X invoices Y and Z invoices X.
Note : Here there is no direct/ Indirect relation between Z and Y.
This process is known as Trading Process. and the Material here is created with Material type HAWA.
The other method is a Third party order processing method:
Here the glaring difference is that instead of Z supplying the material to X and X in turn supplying the same material to Y.
X authorizes Z to supply the material to Y on his behalf and notify him once the delivery is complete.
Now Z supplies the material to Y and acknowledges the same to X.
Z will send a copy of delivery acknowledgement and invoice to X.
After receiving the delivery confirmation and invoice from Z, X has to verify the invoice and this process is known as invoice verification and is done in SAP through Tcode MIRO.
The next step for X is to create an invoice and submit to Y
Only after the invoice verification document is posted then only X can create an invoice for Y.
This is the business flow that is followed for third party order configuration.
There are few steps that have to be configured to enable the system to function as mentioned above.
Step1)
If you are always followwing a third party process for a material then you have to create the material using item category group BANS.
The procument type should be marked as External procurement (F) in MRP 2 view of the material master record.
if you are not always allowing third party order processing then u can create a material master record with item category group as NORM and the procurement type should be marked as ( X) meaning both types of procurment ( in house manufacturing and external procurement).
Step 2)
the item category in the order should be manually changed as TAS.
For that you need to confugure the item category determination
ord type + item cat grp + usge + Hiv level = Item cat + Manual item cat
OR + NORM + + = TAN . + TAS
OR + BANS + + = TAS
Step 3)
make sure that during the item category configuration for TAS you need to mark relevnat for billing indicator as F
Step 4)
The schedule line cateogry for this type should be CS.
make sure that you mark subsequent type as NB - purchase requisition in this schedule line category as this will trigger the purchase requision order immediately after the creation of the sales order and the PO to vendor is created against this purchase requiesion.

What are the config steps for contract mass change and quota arrangement?

Hi friends
what are the config steps for contract mass change and quota arrangement?
Regards
Raj Kumar

Process Flow
The mass change process consists of four steps. You navigate between these steps by choosing the Next and Back buttons located at the bottom right-hand corner of the screens.
       1.      Search for contracts
You search for and select the contracts or the contract hierarchy that you want to change.
Contracts that have the status Closed cannot be changed.
       2.      Define mass changes
You specify the changes you want to make.
You make changes at header data level and at item data level by choosing the relevant change methods. A green tick appears next to each change parameter so that you can see where changes are already active.
Once you enter this step, the documents you have selected to be changed are locked so that other users cannot make changes to them until you are finished with this process.
       3.      Simulate mass changes
Here you can perform a trial run of your mass changes. This simulation step is optional.
We recommend that you perform this step so that you can check how the change methods you have chosen will be processed by the system.
You receive status messages about the change methods for each contract and can quickly see whether any errors arise in connection with the proposed changes at this stage. From this step, it is easier for you to go back and correct the error than after applying the changes.
Background processing
The system processes the changes in the background.
If there are a large number of contracts to be processed, this step could take some time to complete. In this case, you can leave the transaction so that you can, for example, carry out other tasks in the meantime.
The system sends you an e-mail once the simulation step is complete. The e-mail contains a link to the relevant screen in the application so that you can return to it when it is convenient for you to do so. If you have left the SRM application, you can only return via this link.
Here you can see the status of the changes and, if necessary, you can correct any errors by going back to the Define mass changes step.
The messages that you receive in the simulation step are not confirmation that a change has been performed. They simulate the messages you get after you apply the changes. You must complete the final step of the mass change process and apply the changes before they take effect.
       4.      Carry out mass changes
Here you apply the changes to the contracts.
You cannot reverse this step, which is why we advise you to perform the simulation step beforehand.

Steps for Creating Process chain!

Hi All,
I want to create process chain which can schedule IP and run the concern job to fill infocubes/ODS?Can someone please guide me stepwise how to proceed.Some sort of doc will eb appreciated.

Hi,
   You can either create a process chain directly in the process chain maintenance screen, or by using a maintenance dialog for a process
Creating a Process Chain Directly in the Process Chain Maintenance Screen
In the BW Administrator Workbench
1.      Choose the Process Chain Maintenance icon from the AWB toolbar.
2.      Choose Create.
3.      Enter the technical name and a description of the chain, and confirm your entry.
   4.      Create a variant for a start process.
       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.
       If you choose to schedule the chain directly, enter the start date value for a chain under Change Selections and save your entries.
       Save your entries, go back to the previous screen and confirm your entries in the Add Start Process dialog box.
The Plan View of the process chain maintenance screen appears.
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 Drag&Drop or double-click to add the relevant processes to your process chain.
Choose Process Types 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.
               If you insert a process into the chain that is linked to additional processes by default, the respective process variants are generated and automatically inserted into the process chain. These variants are suggestions and can be changed, replaced or removed from the chain as required. Variant maintenance is called when the change run performs automatic insert.
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.
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.
c.       Save your entries, go back to the previous screen and confirm your entries in the Add Start Process dialog box.
The Plan View of the process chain maintenance screen appears.
               The various process categories, the application processes, and collection processes are displayed in the left-hand area of the screen. In the right-hand area of the screen, the process chain is displayed.
                  If the process that you used to create a chain is linked to additional processes by default, the respective process variants are generated and inserted into the process chain automatically. These variants are suggestions and can be changed, replaced or removed from the chain as required. Variant maintenance is called when the change run performs automatic insert.
                  Choose Process Types 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.
        When you add a process, you need to select a process variant or create a new variant. For collection processes, the system uniquely determines the variants.
        Various functions for editing the process are available from the context menu
Maintain variants With the exception of the variants in the collection processes OR and EXOR, you can use this function to change all process variants.
Exchange variants
You can exchange the variants for an existing variant or a variant that is to be created.
    You can use this function to link a process to a successor process. You can choose from the processes that are not yet linked to the current process. They are grouped according to process type in submenus.
      Display scheduled jobs
Once the process chain is active, you can use this function to display the jobs that have been scheduled.
       After at least one process chain run, you can display all of the scheduled jobs for a specific process and all of the jobs with which this process was run. The Job Overview appears and you can call the relevant job log.
Create message
    You can also send messages to an application process of the chain, depending on the success or failure of the process.
1.       To do this, using the context menu for a process, create another process variant of type Send Message.
2.       If you maintain a message, first specify whether you want the message to be sent when the process has been completed successfully or unsuccessfully. Then choose Next.
3.       A dialog box appears, in which you can select an existing process variant or create a new one.
4.       If you create a new process variant, edit the document that is going to be sent and maintain a list of recipients.
5.       Save your process variant and go back.
The message process variant is now assigned to your application process. When the message is sent, the status information and the process log are also sent.
Only use this function to debug a process run.
Specify how long (in seconds) you want the delay to be between one event being triggered and the next process starting.
You can capture the process in the debugger by using transaction SM37 (Job Overview) or SM50 (Process Overview).
Remove process
You use this function to remove a process from a process chain.
Manage data target
You use this function to call the data target administration for the following types of process variants:
         Construct index
         Delete index
         Construct database statistics
         Roll up filled aggregates
         Compress InfoCube
         Activate DataStore object data
       7.      Hold down the left mouse button to connect the processes with events.
Before you do this, select the process underneath the process type row, and position the cursor over the required process. When you select the process type row, the whole process is moved into the plan view.
From the context menu of a link, you can display the event or remove the link. To do this, select the link and right-click with the mouse.
       8.      If necessary, specify whether you want the event to be triggered after the previous process has been completed successfully or unsuccessfully, or whether you want the event to be triggered independently of the outcome of the process that precedes it. If the process that triggers the event has more than one option, choose the option after which the successor process is to be run
       9.      Assign a display component to the process chain using Attributes
     10.      Maintain additional process chain attributes if necessary.
     11.      Check your process chain in the Check View and make any necessary corrections.
The Legend explains the meaning of the different colors used to display the processes and links.
From the context menu for a process, you can display the messages resulting from the check.
During the check, the system calculates the number of parallel processes according to the structure of the chain . The result is compared with the number of background processes on the chosen server (or the total of all available servers if no server is specified in the attributes of the process chain). If the number of parallel processes is greater than the number of available background processes, the system highlights every level of the process chain where the number of processes is too high. The system produces a warning for these levels.
   12.      Save your process chain if it does not contain any errors.
You can activate and schedule your process chain. After scheduling, the chain starts in accordance with the start process selections. For example, if you scheduled the start process directly and chose Immediately as the start date value, the chain run starts immediately after scheduling. In the Log View, you can display the reports for the chain runs.

What are the basic steps for creating a content repository?

I am trying to create a document store on a file system (fsdb) that will hold files that are ftp's to that location. Is this possible using KM? If so, what are the basic steps for creating a file system repository and using it through KM? I have found stuff on help.sap.com but that only tells you what each component does not what actual steps need to be taken to setup KM, such as user rights , creating an entry point, so that all of KM is not visible, etc...
If anyone knows of any guides that show a step by step process that would be great too.
Thanks
Paul

Hi Paul
First of all you need to create a new repository
Suppose you want to add all the documents under folder Paul under C: Drive
(Even you can put whole documents of C: drive into Paul)
Navigate to System Admin -> System Configuration -> Knowledge management -> Content Management -> Repository Manager -> File System Repository
There you can create a new directory by clicking on button New
Give the parameters as follows :-
Name               :           Anything you like
Description       :           Anything you want
Prefix (must start with /) : Probably same as your repository name like \Paul
Lookup mode : caseless
Root Directory   : C:\Paul
NOTE: This is the trick. You need to give the proper path means folder path which you want use as repository)
Repository Services : Any services you want
Property Search : Managercom.sapportals.wcm.repository.manager.generic.search.SimplePropertySearchManager
Security Manager         :           AclSecurityManager
ACL Manager Cache   :           ca_cm_rep_acl
The save it
Now see whether the same repository is coming under KM Content or not, if not may be after restart it will come.
I think the above information will help you. If still you have problem, please feel free to contect me.

Unable to clone File Adapter receiver channel for parallel processing

Hi Experts,
I am using variable substitution for File - RFC - File with out BPM scenario(using request response, oneway bean).
While i placed the file in the sender FTP folder, the file didnt get picked up, but in communication channel monitoring, i am getting error ' Unable to clone File Adapter receiver channel for parallel processing'.
Can anybody provide me suggestions to solve this error.
Note : without variable substitution , the interface is working good.
Is it due to, i am trying the source structure field in response file adapter?

Hi,
In your CC, do you use some additional paramaters ?
like these one of point 47/48 of [Oss note 821267 - FAQ: XI 3.0 / PI 7.0/ PI 7.1 File Adapter|https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/821267]
Maybe there is conflict with a parallel connexion and the bean used to do asynch-synch bridge...

Fetching records in a block(db) for mass processing

My user interface inputs commit frequency for intermittent commits. We reference this to # of records processed & then issue commit. [whilst processing against millions of records]
Now, we want to process all records belonging to set of data blocks to avoid contention issues (gc/ other locking issues) & then issue commit.
So the question is, how do I query records belonging to a particular block OR identify those blocks that hold my data.
Any pointer is greatly appreciated.
thanks
Kiran.

kkulkarn wrote:
This is needed for a DW instance wherein we select recordset from a OLTP instance running 4 node RAC. The user then inputs a condition based on which the records are selected.
We are commiting based on parameters defined by DBA's - the commit frequency. This increases contention especially if the records are stored in contiguous location. Add to this the RAC, the GC traffic is huge.
So what we want to do is to grab all the records in a particular block & read the whole block & then process to DW. I was looking at a query that can get me the block# involved in this process.
Could you clarify:
Is it the OLTP that is on RAC, or the DW, or both ?
Which type of contention - can you show us the critical wait information - and is this on the OLTP or RAC system, and is it the OLTP or RAC system where the GC traffic is huge ?
You seem to be asking how you can specify a query in an OLTP system that is going to visit many table blocks - but "pre-sort" the data in some way so that it visits each table block only once, and visits the table blocks in order so that you don't revisit the same table block and run the risk of extra interconnect traffic on the OLTP system. Is this a correct interpretation of your requirement ?
Does your transfer process do something like:
counter := 0;
for r in (select from OLTP system) loop
    insert into DW system values (r.thing....);
    counter := counter + 1;
    if counter = {limit} then
        commit;
        counter := 0;
    end if;
end loop;

Java Proxy Generation not working - Support for Parallel Processing

Hi Everyone,
As per SAP Note 1230721 - Java Proxy Generation - Support for Parallel Processing, when we generate a java proxy from an interface we are supposed to get 2 archives (one for serial processing and another suffixed with "PARALLEL" for parallel processing of jaav proxies in JPR).
https://websmp230.sap-ag.de/sap(bD1lbiZjPTAwMQ==)/bc/bsp/spn/sapnotes/index2.htm?numm=1230721
We are on the correct patch level as per the Note, however when we generate java proxy from the IR for an outbound interface, it genrates only 1 zip archive (whose name we ourselves provide in the craete new archive section). This does not enable the parallel processsing of the messages in JPR.
Could you please help me in this issue, and guide as to how archives can be generated for parallel processing.
Thanks & Regards,
Rosie Sasidharan.

Hi,
Thanks a lot for your reply, Prateek.
I have already checked SAP Note 1142580 - "Java Proxy is not processing messages in parallel" where they ask to modify the ejb-jar.xml. However, on performing the change in ejb-jar.xml and while building the EAR, I get the following error:
Error! The state of the source cache is INCONSISTENT for at least one of the request DCs. The build might produce incorrect results.
Then, on going through the SAP Note 1142580 again, I realised that the SAP Note 1230721 also should be looked onto which will be needed for generating the Java proxy from Message Interfaces in IR for parallel processing.
Kindly help me if any of you have worked on such a scenario.
Thanks in advance,
Regards,
Rosie Sasidharan.
