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

    HI folks,
    How to Include Local Chains with Meta Chain. Can I know the step by step with clear information?
    If it is possiable send step by step creation screen shots.
    Thanks & regards,

    Hi Venkat,
    Goto RSPC->Double click the process chain that u want to include local chain -> click the process types->Under General serverices u can see->Local Process Chain -> Select the process chain that u want to include ->include it, activate and schedule.
    Hope it will work..!!

  • I have one meta chain.that meta chain have 5 local chains 2 local is failed

    Dear All,
              i have one meta chain.that meta chain have 5 local chains 2 local is failed in the mddle. 3,4,5 chains were went successful.i knoe the solution hoe to correct. i want to execute rest of process of the second chain only. i dont want to 3rd , 4th and Fifth. i can not do Manully for evry process chain in the second  chain because second local chain is very big chain. i can not do repeat also .suppose if i go for repeat again 3rd , 4th ,5 thsteps will be execut.
    hoe can i solve this issue.please guide me.

    Hi
    Right click on the green block, from where the next block is not triggering. Take the variant and instance value.
    Goto table RSPCPROCESSLOG and give the variant and instance value as input. Check the state field value. It should be G (i.e. successfully completed) then only next block will be triggered.
    If you want to start next block manually, goto function module RSPC_PROCESS_FINISH, give i_logid, i_type, i_variant and i_instance values from RSPCPROCESSLOG table and enter i_state value as G.
    After executing the function module, next block of the process chain will automatically start.

  • Unschedule Local Process chain from meta chain

    Hi There,
    We have a meta chain, in which there are several local chains one for each process area. Due to a transport I have to unschedule one local chain and let the other local chains run. Please let me know what is best way to do it?
    Thanks,
    Raju

    Hi.
    You can maintain the start variant of the local chain and switch it to Direct Scheduling. You can leave it in the "Master" chain and let that one run normally, however, your local chain will fail and no following chain will be triggered. So this approach could only be used if your local chain is a dead-end.
    I would consider making a copy and delete the local chain. Then run this one. Make the copy either right in production, because it is an exception anyway, or in development and transport to prod. Switch to running the copy in either case and switch back to original chain and delete the copy (again either straight in prod or in dev and transport the deletion).

  • How to include local chains into meta chain

    Hi Experts,
    Could any one pl help me how to include  3 local chains in to a meta chain.

    Hi Nitya
    Nothing much to explain about it but any ways
    First create separate chains for all 3 local chains and create a meta chain include all this 3 in that
    Meta Chain steps:
    If the chains are dependents on each other then create as below
    Start process -> local chain1>local chain2-->local chain3.
    If the chains are independent loads then
    Start process ---> local chain 1,2,3 place it in parllel.
    Precaution: ensure that you local chains start process should place the maintain process radio button set to "Start using meta chain or API".
    Please find the help link for the same : [Creating process chains and schedules|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04s/helpdata/en/a4/1be541f321c717e10000000a155106/frameset.htm]

  • Copy process instance with variables and state

    Hello,
    I want to make a kind of "snapshot" of my running BPEL instance.
    It should be possible to change some variable values of the snapshot
    and then continue the snapshot process with the changed parameters.
    Thus, I need to copy not only the BPEL description, but also the variable values,
    the state of the process and the outcome of the already finished activities.
    Any idea how this can be done ?
    Thanks in advance.
    Bernd

    Could you describe the use case? Because there are other options as well, like designing your process in such a way it can start at several distinct entrypoints, depending on the message it receives.
    I find the kind of solution you suggest very dangerous, as you try to 'hack' the BPEL engine. This makes your solution very vulnerable, as it probably will be affected by patches and new releases, whereas a more functional approach, using the standard functions, will be less so.
    Just my 2 cents, though.

  • Local chain, Meta chain, and Remote chain

    Hi,
    Can any one explain me what exactly is the difference among the process chains?
    Meta chain is a process chain that calls the other process chain
    Local chain is the PC included in any other Process types?
    Cannot differentiate Local and meta chaisn now !
    same is the case with remote process chains
    Raj

    Hi,
    Metachain is a process chain, for which you determine this start condition, that is fixed to another process chain. The process chain is started directly by this metachain.If you start the start process using a metachain, it is not scheduled after you have activated the related process chain. The process chain is only started when the metachain, to which it is linked, is running. rocess chains can be scheduled as processes in additional process chains, which are known as meta chains. If the process chain you want to execute is in another system, use the process type Process Chain Remote, called remote process chain in the following. A remote process chain is a local process in the calling system that calls a process chain in this system, using a destination in another system, that is to be executed there. The remote process chain communicates with the other system and synchronously starts the executed process chain. After terminating the process chain in another system, this is reported back to the meta chain in the calling system. sing a remote process chain as the process of a metachain, you can schedule a process chain from another system in a process chain of the calling system.
    Using a remote process chain as the process of a metachain, you can schedule a process chain from another system in a process chain of the calling system.  In  addition to remote process chains, you can also schedule local process chains as processes in a metachain. A local process chain consists of processes that are scheduled in the same system as the metachain. You schedule it as a process in the same system as the metachain.

  • Transport collection for meta chain

    Hi all,
    I had a meta chain which carries 4 master chains.
    now we made change in the order ( before order 1-2-3-4 changed order 1-3-4-2) of the 4 master chains in the Meta chain.
    collected the meta chain and transported to test system but the changes are not reflecting in Test system.
    could any one please tell, what are all i need to collect to transport the meta chain with new chains.
    regards
    sandy

    Hi,
    You only needed to collect the meta chain and not the other one's, if your transport was successfull then simply goto your target system open the chain in change mode and you will see the changes. Simply activate that chain and it'll be perfect.

  • Meta Chain in a meta chain

    Hi Folks,
    I have one meta chain which has master data loads local chains and then has an atrib change run and then a Transaction data meta chain in it.
    The transaction data meta chain has many local chains. After the first two local chains, theres an AND condition and then the next set of local chains are scheduled.
    Problem is that after the AND, the next set of local chains are not triggered. I have included preceeding event based triggers as scheduling paramters.
    Why does the next set of local chains stop? Is it normal to have meta chains inside meta chains?? And have u come across a unknown job that gets created named BI_PROCESS_TRIGGER in case of event based triggering??
    Thanks in advance
    Regards
    Prakash

    Hi Prakash,
    Meta chain in a Meta chain will work most of the times. Very rarely does it give problems. When ever we have a similar problem as you have described. We go into each meta chain and trigger them manually for that day. Once the chains are all run. We Deschedule the Entire Main chain, check if there are any released jobs for each Meta Chain/process steps, delete these released jobs. Then we activate and schedule the Main chain, this resolves our problem and the chains runs without issues the following days.
    Regards,
    Praveen.

    Process Chain: A process chain is used to trigger different process (Info Package,Attribute change run,compress request.,activate request(ODS) in a sequence according to requirment

  • 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.
    Thanks

  • 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.

  • Failed meta chain maintenance in Process chain in SAP BI

    Hi all,
    I have a Process chain having the meta chain of master data population.When successful , proceeds with the further steps in process chain. It has been scheduled in midnight.
    After monitoring the PC , found the error in the master meta chain , so i repeat the step.
    Here , after success of meta chain all steps gets running down the line till the end step in PC.
    I do not want to re-run the steps below meta chain after repeat step.
    Any Ideas to ignore the re-run ??

    Hi,
    If your Process is still running(Yellow color status) then right click it and go to Schduled Jobs. On this you will go to Job Overview there you can press STOP.
    Else go to the SM37, there you can go and select your process using your process ID and STOP it.
    And if you want to kill the complete process chain then go for Remove from Schedule.
    Different Ways to stop process chain
    1)SM37 -->Kill Job
    2)SM50/sm66- ->Kill process
    3)RSPC>Job Log>Make the process RED forecefully.
    4)RSPC>Process chain> main Menu"Remove from Scheduling" OR
    5)se37-->RSPC_API_CHAIN_INTERRUPT
    give RFC BW system name(technical) and process chain name(technical)
    Steps 1 -3 stops the chain running in process
    Steps 4-5 stops the chain AFTER the current job which is running is completed as sucessful or Failure by nature.
    Hope this helps you.

  • At what scenario we go for copy process chain??

    At what scenario we go for copy process chain??

    Hi,
    Letu2019s say you are doing regular monitoring of a process chain. One fine day this process chain gets failed due to some reason on one of steps. And say there are 10 more steps still to be executed.
    You fixed the error by performing some manual activity which was actually next steps of process chain where it failed.
    Now you can not do repeat/repair in process chain because you have already performed them but you want remaining steps to be executed automatically not manually.
    What you can do is copy chain with only required steps in it remove remaining steps.
