Coordinate BW process chain with R/3 jobs

Hi all,
is there any way to planify a process chain on BW that runs daily except when a job is planified on R/3 ?
thx in advance

Hi Juan,
If my understanding is right, we can planify a process chain that runs daily using Tcode: RSPC. But you need to schedule the chain according to the time in which you plan a job on R/3. It should be done manually that you need to schedule the process chain other than the time at which you run the job on R/3.
Assign points if this helps u...

  • Trigger a program in ECC from BI using a process chain with out Program

    Hi,
    How can we trigger a program which is in ECC system from BI using a process chain with out writing any program.
    is it possible? if yes how can we achieve this.
    Thanks & Regards,
    Madhu

    Madhu,
    Not possible, indeed need event or Remote Function Call using an ABAP program.
    Other option would be to use a 3rd party tool like Control-M to run programs/jobs on whatever system in your landscape (but requires investments of course).

  • Pointers for optimizing system performance (run time) while running DP process chain with parallel processing

    Hi Experts,
    We are running APO DP process chain with parallel processing in our company, we are experiencing some issues regarding run time of process chain, need your help on below points;
    - What are the ways we can optimize process chain run time.
    - Special points we need to take care of in case of parallel processing profiles used in process chain.
    - Any specific sequence to be followed for different processes in process chain - if there is some best practice followed.
    - Any notes suggesting ways to improve system performance for APO version 7 with different enhancement packs 1 and 2.
    Any help will be really appreciated.
    Regards

    HI Neelesh,
    There are many ways to optimize performance of the process chains (background jobs) in APO system.
    Firstly I would recommend you to identify the pain areas (steps) which are completing with more runtimes. Then each one of the step has got different approaches to decrease the runtime.
    Like you may end up with steps like infopackage executions, DTPs, DP mass processing jobs etc which might be running with more runtimes. So now target each one of them differently and find out the ways to optimize. At the same time the approach you follow should be technically possible with basis perspective (system load and utilization) as well.
    And coming to parallel processing, you can use parallel processing for different for different jobs. You can further r explore on the same using parallel processing. Like loading an infocube, mass processing, infopackage execution, DTP, TSCOPY etc.
    Check the below link for more info

    Let me know if you require further info.

  • Transportation of process chains with ABAP variants

    Hi,
    Could you please help me in finding out how to transport process chains with ABAP variants.
    I can transport them, however when transporting them, I overwrite the already existing variants, which is very unfortunate...
    Could you please advice.
    Thank you in advance!
    /Brian

    Hi Ramesh,
    Option 1:
    You can directly create the process chain in Production. Most of the times ppl do have access to create a process chain in Prod. Kindly check whether you have the authorization to do so.
    Option 2:-
    I did not suggest to delete the old info-packages in QA and Prod. Let them continue to exist but you may not use them once the process chain is in place. You create the process chain, test it and move it up to Prod. I dont' think the new infopackages will hamper your delta load. The delta is not dependent on the infopackage.
    If I were you, I would try the second option and if it does not work during testing then go for the first option.
    Bye

  • Using Planning Sequence in a Process Chain With input variants

    Hi,
    I have a COPY planning function which has multiple FROM and TO options like (From:Fiscal Year To Fiscal Year, From Version TO Version). In the layout they select the options for which they want to COPY and execute the function.
    How can I replicate the same approach in a process chain with the varaints, how can i create the FROM and TO variables in the process chain.
    Thanks
    Rashmi.

    Hi.
    You can save variable variant for planning sequence in modeler and then use it in process chain.
    In process chain you choose "Execute planning sequence" and add planning sequence with variant.
    All this if you using IP instead BPS.

  • Process chain with abap report

    Hi all,
    I have an abap report which is used to fill a table . This report is scheduled on daily basis .
    Now i want to do is , whenever this report completes my process chain should start in BI so that data in table can be filled in GDS .
    How to do that ???
    Please help.
    Regards
    Shweta

    Hi,
    You can do it in two ways.
    1) Include the ABAP program as the first process in your process chain. Once the program is completd the following processes will continue.
    2) Use "After Job" Scheduling options to schedule your process chain.
    Mention the job name of the program in the After job.  The process chain will get triggered once the job is completed.

  • Process chain with ABAP reports included

    Hello !
    I need help regardin an issue.
    I have a process chain with the processes:
    1) Start
    2) Process type ABAP program -> report that has a wait instruction
    3) Process type ABAP program -> report that has a system message , based on a first variant of the report
    4) Process type ABAP program -> report that has a wait instruction
    5) Process type ABAP program -> report that has a system message , based on a second variant of the report
    6) Process type ABAP program -> report that has a wait instruction
    7) Process type ABAP program -> report that has a system message , based on a third variant of the report
    report that has a system message : has 3 variants
      The reports work each individual, but in the chain , when I execute, I must see some system messages and there is nothing
    I assigned for the processes the right reports, including the variants for the processes 3, 5, 7.
    Do you have some clue? I can't imagine why they don't work in this process chain.
    Thank you.

    In RSPC transaction -
    create your process chain
    To include ABAP program --- expand General Services --- Select ABAP program -
    drag and drop it in right panel
    Create process variant -
    provide program name and program variant(if exists)

  • Process chain with attributes

    Hi Experts,
    i built a process chain with 4 Masterdata.
    I beginn with  start and for each master data, i set up an  infopackage and at the end , i created an Attribute with the 4 Masterdata als Infojects.
    1. When i save, the order changed.
    All the masterdata could not be upload.
    How can i built a better process chain with Attibutes?
    Thanks for your help.

    Change the below chain accordingly, just add IP's for 3 more Infoobjects.
    Start
    Infopackge1A(Attr)|Infopackge2A(Attr)
    Infopackge1B(Txts)|Infopackge2B(Txts)

  • Copy process Chain with Meta chain

    Hi experts,
    how to copy the process chain with Meta chain, since the process chain which I planing to copy it hold meta chain and also local chain, I coping for change the technical name for the PC, is it possible to copy meta chain and local chain along with PC?
    and plz breif me about meta chain and local chain why we have to use them and where we have to use them?
    plz explain with scenario.
    Thanks,

    Hi,
    Once after the copy of the chains you need to change the start variant with the new one as the same start process can not be used in two process chains at the same time.
    So Once after changing the start process for your MC and LC then you are good to go ahead to trigger the same.
    If you trigger the MC then it will take care of trigerring the LC automatically.
    In terms of changes in the process chain, you can get the last changed details in the log view but you can track the timestamp of changes from the process chain tables like (RSPC* and then press F4). But you can not track which process has been changed in this.
    Thanks

  • Scheduling of process chain with background job

    Hello All,
                  I have scheduled the process chains through background jobs. I have copied the meta chain and created seven background jobs that is from Monday till sunday. The problem is most frequently the job gets cancelled with the message
    Process CHAIN, variant PAA1_GS001 is not scheduled waiting for event RSPROCESS 44NRPDWZ7CQUJ92ATDTY6368H.
    This is the variant for the next process after the start process. I tried by giving merge active versions, but one day the background job runs fine , but the next day it gets cancelled.
    If anyone has faced this issue before kindly let me know.
    Regards,
    Karthik.

    Hi,
    It seems to be there may be in probelm in Varients, so create a separate Varient for each PC and then activate the PC and execute.

  • Process Chains with Event Trigger

    Hi Experts,
    Happy Valentine day.
    I have a requirement to run a Process Chain using Event IDs. Now these Evenrt ID should be triggered by a Program which raises this Eovent. Then this Program should be scheduled in BAckground to run periodically. Has anyone done this before. If yes, could you please shower some light on this topic with details on the steps.
    Thanks
    DV

    Hi,
    1)You can make the process chain to be trigered by an event.
    You create user events in SM62. In SM62, next to "User even names", click on Maintain and press Enter. Click on the Create icon to create a new event (let's call it ZEVENT).
    Next, in your process chain, change the Start variant to be scheduled "After event", and put in ZEVENT for the event name. Also, click on the "Periodic job" at the bottom. This will automatically reschedule the jobs for the process chain after it executes.
    Next, create an ABAP program (let's call it Z_EVENT_RAISE) to call the function module BP_EVENT_RAISE. You're code can look like this:
    codeREPORT Z_EVENT_RAISE.
    PARAMETERS: P_EVENT LIKE TBTCO-EVENTID.
    CALL FUNCTION 'BP_EVENT_RAISE'
    EXPORTING
    EVENTID = P_EVENT.
    IF sy-subrc 0.
    MESSAGE ID SY-MSGID TYPE SY-MSGTY NUMBER SY-MSGNO
    WITH SY-MSGV1 SY-MSGV2 SY-MSGV3 SY-MSGV4.
    ENDIF.[/code]
    This ABAP program will prompt for an event name, so you will need to create a variant (let's call it ZEVENT) which will save the value of the event name (also ZEVENT). You will need the variant name to be able to trigger the event in a batch job.
    Now all you need is the batch job. Use tcode SM36 to create a batch job where you call the ABAP program (Z_EVENT_RAISE) using the variant (ZEVENT).
    Note, SM64 only triggers an event manually.
    and you can copy this job to schedule it three times a day.
    2)In the Start process of your process chain, select Direct Scheduling and then click the Change Selections icon. This will bring you to the Start Time window where you can put in the Date/Time you want to start your process chain. At the bottom of this window, click on the Periodic job box and you will notice another icon way at the bottom called Period Values. Click this to determine what frequency the job should be rescheduled (ie. daily, weekly, etc.).
    3)you can do this by right-clicking on the start process, selection "Maintain Variant", choose "Direct Scheduling". Next select "Change Selections", pick your date and time, set your period values and you're done.
    Thanks,

  • Ending a process chain with abap program

    Hello friends.
    Can anyone help me please?
    I have a problem with a process chain in BW.
    The process chain is triggered by the MF BP_EVENT_RAISE in an custom MF. While the process chain works, the custom MF is monitoring the chain´s log.
    This process chain have 2 steps:  one is the initial process and the other is a ABAP program. In the abap program there are validations and if exists some error, the program abort and this job (BI_PROCESS_ABAP) is cancelled. The problem is that i have to go to the Tx. RSPC and view the logs fro this chain and in these moment ends th custom MF. In other wors, the MF ciustom ends until i go to the tx RSPC for view the logs.
    I need that the program ends the process chain naturally.
    Thanks for your help.
    Regards.

    Hi,
    You can end a process chain by seeing the variant name and instance name of teh process chain from and finding its corresponding log id,type of process from the table RSPCPROCESSLOG and then executing the standard FM RSPC_PROCESS_FINISH. Here you will have to give the log id,type of process ,vairant name and instance name alongwith the status of the process chain as R to end the process chains.
    If you want to aurtomate it you can do that by creating a Z program which will read LOG ID and teh TYPE of process from table RSPCPROCESSLOG on the basis of variant name and the instance name of the process chain and the execute the function module RSPC_PROCESS_FINISH from inside the program.

  • Monitoring BI PROCESS CHAIN with Solution Manager BPMON

    Hello,
    I'm trying to setup the monitoring of BI process chain using the BPMON
    I setup the process chain monitoring using  BPmon application monitoring "BI Process Chain Monitoring" (BOBIPCMO)
    but than I'm not able to read the process chain names,steps,and variant from satellite system
    On other systems,using different application monitor (like PI MONITOR) is working fine
    i'm using the latest plug-in ST-A/PI 01L_BCO700 on entire landscape
    My bi system is 7.01 EHP1 sp4
    solution Manager is 7.01 EHP1 SP20
    Any suggestiions?
    Thanks

    Hello Marco,
    the problem is that the Process Chain monitor is not yet available with ST-A/PI 01L*. Unfortunately the empty hull that you see during the setup was shipped without the proper content. The Process Chain monitor will be properly shipped with the next ST-PI and ST-A/PI combination in Q2/2010.
    Sorry for any inconvenience caused.
    If you want to have this monitor earlier on it could be implemented via Customer Exit in case that you have some MaxAttention or Safeguarding engagement.

    Thanks

    Hi Prabhakar,
    Whenever you do a BDC recording and create a program to handle BDC, an include BDCRECX1 is added automatically in the program. It contains the code for processing BDC.
    In the include, you have code for subroutines like BDC_DYNPRO,BDC_FIELD. And in the main program , you have to call these functions in order to perform BDC.
    Since your requirement is to do BDC processing when an event occurs, you have to hard code it.
    Copy paste the code for BDC_DYNPRO and BDC_FIELD like this in the screen like this.
    FORM bdc_dynpro  USING  program
                            dynpro.
      CLEAR bdcdata.
      bdcdata-program  = program.
      bdcdata-dynpro   = dynpro.
      bdcdata-dynbegin = 'X'.
      APPEND bdcdata.
    ENDFORM.                    " bdc_dynpro
    *&      Form  bdc_field
          text
         -->P_0075   text
         -->P_0076   text
    FORM bdc_field  USING fnam
                          fval.
      DATA : nodata VALUE '/'.
      IF fval <> nodata.
        CLEAR bdcdata.
        bdcdata-fnam = fnam.
        bdcdata-fval = fval.
        APPEND bdcdata.
      ENDIF.
    ENDFORM.
    So what you have to do is
    1) First do the BDC recording using SHDB and create a program , which contains automatically generated code for the recording.
    2) In the previous program where you need to code for BDC handling corresponding to events, just copy paste the code in the newly created program  like
    perform bdc_dynpro      using 'SAPLMGMM' '0060'.
    perform bdc_field       using 'BDC_CURSOR'
                                  'RMMG1-MATNR'.
    3) If you want the processing to be in foreground ,
    write the statement
    ws_mode = 'A'.
        CALL TRANSACTION 'MM02' USING bdcdata MODE ws_mode
                              MESSAGES INTO messtab.
    (In this case , the transaction is MM02).
    This will work.
    Regards,
    SP.
