COPA full load monthly process chain

hi guys,
our COPA delta does not work. So we need to automate monhly COPA data extraction. is there any FM that can show the monthly fiscal year peiord i.e 01 = july ?
lets say: this month is march 2010, so my Infiopackage Period/year field will automatically take 09.2009
I need FM that can generates 09.2009

You can use DATE_TO_PERIOD_CONVERT. Pass date and fiscal year variant as input.

Loading through Process Chains 2 Delta Loads and 1 Full Load (ODS to Cube).

Dear All,
I am loading through Process chains with 2 Delta Loads and 1 Full load from ODS to Cube in 3.5. Am in the development process.
My loading process is:
Start - 2 Delta Loads - 1 Full Load - ODS Activation - Delete Index - Further Update - Delete overlapping requests from infocube - Creating Index.
My question is:
When am loading for the first am getting some data and for the next load i should get as Zero as there is no data for the next load but am getting same no of records for the next load. May be it is taking data from full upload, i guess. Please, guide me.
Krishna.

Hi,
The reason you are getting the same no. of records is as you said (Full load), after running the delta you got all the changed records but after those two delta's again you have a full load step which will pick whole of the data all over again.
The reason you are getting same no. of records is:
1> You are running the chain for the first time.
2> You ran this delta ip's for the first time, as such while initializing these deltas you might have choosen "Initialization without data transfer", as such now when you ran these deltas for the first time they picked whole of the data.Running a full load after that will also pick the same no. of records too.
If the two delats you are talking are one after another then is say u got the data because of some changes, since you are loading for a single ods to a cube both your delta and full will pick same "For the first time " during data marting, for they have the same data source(ODS).
Hope fully this will serve your purpose and will be expedite.

Monthly process chain ran twice

Hello Friends,
I have a scenario where I need to find the reason why a Monthly process chain which is supposed to run once a month ran twice on a particular month on the same day.
I have already checked the relevant process chain using the transaction ST13 or the program /SSA/BWT which provided me the information that the first run was not executed as a part of the relevant Meta chain which has pulled all the relevant records into the target and the chain was successful.
The chain ran for the second time as a part of its Meta chain as per the schedule which ended up with a failure due to the duplicate records.
Now if I view the log, I could view only the latest user (i.e) ALEREMOTE and not the predecessor user information to find out who has scheduled the chain or the chain has got executed automatically due to some other predecessor chains.
I hope, we can get the whole logs via SM37 / SLG1, but has anyone experienced?
Do we have any table or an other way by whihc we can identify the user?
Regards,
Vinoth V

Hi,
This might be a possibility - the process chain failed in a step, and the process link was set to move to the next step even in case of errors (link colour is red). Upon repeat, the already executed steps will be executed again.

Need help in triggering the Data stream load using process chain

Hi Guru's
is it possible to trigger a data stream load using process chain?
Any help is highly appreciated.
Thanks
Indiran

Hi Indiran and welcome aboard!
Don't think this is possible. SAP BW & SAP SEM-BCS are rather independent systems. Though, BCS lives on top of BI-BW stack, it even may have master data different from those in BW.
Process chains, AFAIK, is completely the BW's feature. Certainly, you may use PCc on BW side, loading ODS/DSO and cubes involved in BCS data model.
The main con here is the lost transparency -- you don't control everything from the consolidation monitor.
The pro side is also rather obvious for me. Since, very often there is a huge difference between data quality at the data source and in the BCS totals cube, I need to make a lot of data transformation. Not only some data calculations or cleaning, but also transformation of data model: key figure model -> account model. It's much more easier to do in BW, for me.
I even call the ODS/cubes/routines involved in such transformation as intermediate layer, the layer between data source and SEM-BCS.
And this layer lives rather independently from BCS.
Hope this helps.

Automate loads through Process Chains

Hi,
I have two Infocubes, one a delivered one and the other a custom one. The delivered one should be loaded everyday and it is a full load (we would delete its contents completely and reload every night). The custom cube is an exact replica of the delivered one and is also a full load from the delivered cube. But the custom cube stores monthly snapshots of the data and is hence loaded only on the last day of a month.
I want to automate the loads to both these cubes by creating Process Chains. How do I do it? The catch in this is if the load to standard cube fails on last day of month, then the load to snapshot cube should not be triggered at all.
Also note that we are using BW 3.5.
Thanks.

Another thought:
Make two chains - Daily and MOnthly...
In daliy chain: your deliverd cube will run...
In monthly : your daily and afer tht "On Success" - monthly load will happen..
Note that you need to keep start variant fro both chains accordingly and daily chain should not run on 1st day of month when monthly chain would run..
hope it helps
thnx for any pts

Delta loading and Process chain BI

Hi experts,
Two Issues.
1)As i am loading FI data into dso through a process chain which includes Start process>Delta infopackage(which gets data upto psa)>Delta dtp-->Datastore activation.
But infopackage is picking up deltas but DTP is picking up all the previous records plus deltas.
100 records -- 1st day throught Intialization of Delta with Data Transfer
2 delta records -- 2nd day
But DTP is picking up 102 Records on the 2nd Day, which means it is also picking the old records as well.
The DSO must have just 102 records but it is having 202 records.
2) A process chain in running daily as scheduled , but I rescheduled with new scheduling options without deactivating the Process chain.
My Question is
Will the Process chain run for the OLD and the New Schedule or
Is it going to run for new schedule or old one?
or
will I face any Problem because I did not deactivate and made changes to the Change.
Please help me in this matter.
Thanks in advance.
Bhadri.

First query:
I believe that u have used FUll update type DTP is instead of the Delta DTP.. Please cross check the Update mode of the DTP once.
To resolve this issue, delete the total content of the DSO as u have Init and delta loads in PSA. And then using the Delta DTP of the Process chain, load the data. It will extract the total cotent what ever is there in PSA, and later the same DTP will act as the Delta type and will pick the data from the New request of the PSA.
Second Query:
Its always suggested to deschedule the process chain before changing the schedule timings. When ever u do this type of scheduling, just check how many number of JObs available in Schedule mode, if u can see more than one, then delete the older one and keep the new one as it is.
But I always suggest you to deschedule the process chain and reschedule PC with the new timings and then activate the same.
Thanks

Master Data Loading in Process Chain

Hello All
I want to design process chain for Master data loading we have 8 modules in our project such as SD,MM,FI,CO,PP,QM,PM and LO how Design PC .Each Module one start varient and All Text,Attribaute and hierarchies Loading parallel ofter one Attribute Change run this Approach is Right Please guide me
and Module dependence are there ?
Like First load SD then MM like please guide me
Regards,
Ravi

Hi.......
Welcome to SDN.........
It is also possible to load like this:
load attributes
change run load texts in parallel
because chnage run and texts don't disturb each other.
If you want also to load hierarchies the following order is recommended:
load attributes
load hierarchies
changerun
texts at last or in parallel with changerun.
And for loading diiffterent area...........first tell me which architecture you are using..........split or LSA........
as per ur update u didnt mentioned the type of architecture wheather it split,or,LSA or some other thing which u are useing,
if you use Split architecture the load ,GD,DP,FC from FC completion of master data COPA will start so Complusary load FC first ,,u can run simulateanously (GD,DP,FC)it will be no problemand have to cross check about configuration of ur server also ,later you can start pp,tp in case of HR it will be total independent so check when u want to load
IN Case of LSA (layerd Scaleable architecture) first laod Masterdata .. which will same for all the Process areas (like 0costcenetr,0employee) later start the Trancation data which you feel which is important as per my knowledege go for FC in turn COPA because usually reports morely based on FC and COPA
Hope this helps......
Thanks==Points as per SDN........;)

How to manage the "no data" loading in process chain

Hi,
I want to load some master data in delta mode with a process chain. The treatment works good except in one case.
If I have no data selected during the extraction ( cause the system doesn't find any data matching with the delta field ), the process chain appears in red as if some problems was encountered instead of giving a traffic light green.
How is it possible to manage this case of treatment as a normal treatment ?
Thanks for your help.

Marc,
in RSMO ,
Using Settings -> Evaluation of Requests ->
if no data is available in the system, the request
select Green (is Judged to be successful). this will cause the load to be successful if Zero records are fetched and the Process chain will not fail.
Cheers

Problem with loading in process chain

Hello all,
I've a problem with my process chain. There are few loading packages that are suppose to start together. Problem is, I guess, not enough processes to start them all together. What happens is that some start loading where others "wait". In SM50 I can see all processes are taken. When the loading of the first pacakages is finished (and I can see processes available in SM50)
I'm expecting the load of the waiting packages would start, but nothing happens and the process chains stucks!
The infopackage load gets a yellow color, and stays that way, no cahnges , and no start of process, can someone help? anyone encountered that before?
Thank you,
Yoav Ophek.

Hi,
Monitor the InfoPack Loads through the T-Code RSMO.
When u select a Job, go to EnvironMent ->tRFC -> In Source System / DataWarehouse, and check if there are any Stuck tRFC's due to which the loads are stuck.
I do not see any other reasons why the Loads would be stuck.
Also check ST22 for any Short Dumps occurred for that time.
SM21 for Job Overview.
And check what else could have been the problem for not loading the InfoPackages.
Hope it helps,
Pradip Parmar

How to set delta load in process chain

hello all
The scenario is i created process chain for transaction data and all the infopackages are in initial load now I want to do delta,how to set delta in process chain,bcoz only the new records should load?
kindly anyone let me know.
regards
balaji

Hi Balaji,
In most projects thay dont have the "init" infopackages in the process chain. They have 2 infopackages for a load - One for init and the other for delta. Now that you have created the process chain what I suggested was to change the infopackage settings to delta load and change the description of the infopackage.
The other option would be to create a new infopackages for delta and include them in the chain replacing the "init" ones.
Bye

How to stop the data loads through process chains

hi,
I want to stop all the data loads to BI through Process chains where load happens periodic.
kindly suggest how can I proceed.

Hi,
Goto RSPC find your PC and double click on START then change the timings, i.e. give starting date is 01.01.9999 like that Save and ACtivate the PC, it won't start till 01.01.9999.

Directing loads on process chain to one application server

Hi Gurus
I have four application servers. The problem that I am trying to resolve is making sure all loads jobs are done on one application server with more background processors and queries can be directed to the other application server for end users....
When I run a load, the 1st package would start on the specified application server, but the next load would go to other aps servers...It does seem like the chain/load has a mind of it own...
I did the setting on process attribute background server to run in. once the dialogue process begin, it spun to other application servers....I am trying to restrict this job from going to other application servers, so that query run time limit could be set on the other 3 servers...
We do have load balancing. I am working with Basis to see what kind of setting that needs to be done or what kind of setting I need to do on the BW side
If anybody has done this before, please let me know...I really do appreciate this insight...
Thank you and I am looking forward to some suggestions from all
Justus

HOW TO LOAD R/3 DATA INTO SAP BI USING PROCESS CHAINS?

Hi,
Can we load R/3 data into BI using process chains?... I loaded data from R/3 into Infocube using generic extraction using view... took 2 tables EBKN and EBAN and ceated view.
In PSA I can find all the 2388 records but when I load into datatarget in transferred tab there are 2388 records but in added colum i could find only 2096.....
I deleted the request and want to load through process chains....... but how to do ?????? without flat file ...can we laod using process chains?
I appreciate any inputs.......
Regards,
Prasanthi.

did you even bother looking at the links in my previous posts???
read the docs...try yourself...if you encounter specific issues, you can post them on the forum...
if you're really expecting somebody to post a step by step for process chain, i think you can wait a long, long time...

All 8 ODS loads are failing in Process chains

Hi Experts,
Today in Production ,all 8Z<ODS> ( eg. 8ZSD_O51, 8ZSDC_53,8ZCOPABC02.......) giving same error in Extraction .
It is "Error occured in data selection" in Extraction tab in details tab in RSMO.
We are correcting these loads by deleting this red requests from data target and running the Infopackage manually for repeat of last delta.when we run infopackage manually it doesn't fail.but it give above error while loading in Process Chain.
So in our Batch we have around 30-40 loads of this type( 8Z load).So to run each info package manually it is time consuming process??
So pls give suggestions to correct this error.....
How can we fix this problem........
the error is coming only after some support pack installed in BW two day before.
Thanx in advance...

Hi,
are you In DEV or Prod? If in prod, did you have this behavior in your DEV sys as well after applying your SP?!?
try replicating your "myBW" datasources and reactivating your transfer structures;
Try first with one of it; test and see if this works; then run RS_TRANSTRU_ACTIVATE_ALL to activate all your transfer structures.
hope this helps...

Error in the Process Chain

Hi,
Im getting following error in the Monthly Process Chain :
"A type "Attribute Change Run" process has to follow process "Execute InfoPackage" var.ZPAK_D3VOS4BQNK1QJ98G29CU8EWFE in the chain"
Please advise...
Regards,
Anuja

Hi,
You need to add the "Attribute Change Run" process type after the infopackage load in the PC.
I assume the infopackage loads Master Data.
Thanks.
