Copying a process chain

Hi guys,
I am trying to copy a process chain but use different infopackages and ODS objects from the original one. Please how do i go about this? Thanks

In Rspc , select the PC you want to copy from , on the menu bar , select Process chain , and their select Copy. And more over , which BI version are you working on?? You have this option in 7.0 only I think, if you are on BI 3.5 , I dont think you can copy, the only option is you have to create a brand new one.
let me know.

Error while copying a process chain.

Hi All,
I get an error message while copying the process chain in Production environment.It says "SAP System has status 'not modifiable'".Choose display object or Cancel.I hope this is because of the config. that there is no option to create anything .
Please confirm.
Regards,
Shailja.

Hi Shailja,
That means that you can not change that type of object on Quality or Productive server.
Go to Administrator Workbench, sub menu Transport Connection, there you will find a button called Object Changeability (with a truck). Click on that and change the types of the concerned objects to 'Every changeable' in your case.
Beware that you must change the status not with a double click but with a right click
also refer the following thread you can find your solution

Hope this helps

Copy of process chain

Hi,
Can we create a copy of a process chain? Like we can do for other objects (ODS/Cubes/Queries etc.).
If yes then how. And if no then why.
thanks ..

In BI7.0,Copy option will be available in Menu -- Under Proces Chain Tab
After this create a new variant for the Copy Process Chain....Using Exchange Variant assign this to the Copy chain and activate it.
Similar in 3.5 also,but for Chain copy is done using Tcode --copy
And the remaining things are same....

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.

BPC Process Chains

Hi All,
These question would be quite general. I would like to explore more about process chains & process variants. I tried to copy a process chain and created customized process variants.
1) But, how do I know what fields should go into what type of process variants.
2) Is there any reference on the list of fields and their accepted field values?
3) Each process variant has an underlying ABAP code to execute the step? How could I find more about what each step is doing?
Thank you very much in all advances.
Cheers,
Yen Li

Hi Yen Li,
What version of BPC are you using? In 7.0 there was a need to copy Process Chains; in 7.5 most of the things can be done with delivered Process Chains.
If you are doing it just for self education then it makes sense to take a look at variants of existing Process Types. Usually those variants contain all parameters a particular type can process. Most of the parameters serve as placeholders to pass parameters from DM Package logic to Process Type.
Process Variant doesn't have any code behind it; process Type has. Finding that code in BPC is no different from finding it in BW. Just open any Process Chain and select menu item Settings -> Maintain Process Types. Double click on Process Type you are interested in and in ObjectTypeName you'll see name of the Class behind that Process Type.
Hope this helps,
Gersh

Collecting Process Chain Statistics

Hi anyone,
I'm looking to write some ABAP Code to collect Process Chain Statistics so they can be coherently evaluated and not by looking at the process chains individually. I'll be looking to identify variances in # of records, load times, etc. so I can send out alerts.
I've been able to collect a lot of Process Chain Process information so far using existing API and FM calls. I'm able to get down to the Process Log Levels so far, but I'm trying to think how to go about collecting the actual key figures I need.
<b>I'm looking to capture things like the following:</b>
- Statistics of each process chain and related process chain process like I need to know that my ODS activation started @ 10am actived 10,000 records and ended at 10:01 am. (how long it took).
- I need to know that my data load loaded 1,000 records and how long it took.
- I need to know that my rollup compressed x number of records and took how long.. Etc, Etc, Etc.
I know the BI Administration Cockpit in 2004s might provide some/most of this information, but it isn't an option right now.
The way I see it I really only 1 option with a 2nd potential option:
1. Most likely option is to write a program to go out and collect the statistics for all the processes executing the program on a scheduled basis.
2. Modify/Copy the process chain process classes to somehow output the statistics I need. No idea how I would do this yet.
So again I am currently down to the process level logs and just don't know how to collect the statistical key figures I need like how many records were loaded, compressed, activated, etc... I'm thinking of somehow parsing the logs to get the key figures, but that seems like it would be difficult.
Anyone have any suggestions or ideas how to collect this information so I can report on it?
I posted this here because I thought the bw abappers would frequent this area. Also, If anyone thinks this would be better suited in another forum then please suggest.
Thanks,
Ken Murray

How to copy a existing process chain

hi
i am a SAP BW learner.
i created a process chain for inital load and i want to create a process chain by copying first created process chain and tell me in what situation we delete the indexes of InfoCube.
Can any one provide me the solution to how can i copy the existing process chain and tell me in what situation we delete the indexes of InfoCube.
Thanks in Advance.

Hi Kiran:
Thats correct, you can copy an existing process chain and you will get all the variants in it.
well, the best practice to manually do the INIT loads and let the delta loads be in process chain.
we delete indexes and re create them when we are loading an infocube and the reason is performance

Urgent Issue - Copy DTP and Process Chains in New Client Instance

We have created new client Instance ( CLNT 510 ) based on our present client ( CLNT 500 ).
We have all the process changes, application components from source system CLNT 500 and data ( both for master and transaction data ) in place for the CLNT 500.
Now we need to use the CLNT 510 for our futher development. RFC connection has been established.
Just want to know, do we need to create all the Application component trasfer , Transformation, DTP , Infopackages , Process chains again for the CLNT 510 data.
please help.
Thanks and Kind Regards,
Pratap Gade.

Hello Jr Roberto,
Hello Jr Roberto,
We have company implementing mutiple SAP Implementations in different countries.
Client for BW Dev is 400.
Source system for Client BWD :
ECC Client ERP Dev - 500 ( for Holland Implementation )
ECC Client EPR Dev - 510 ( for German Implementation - Instance of ECC 500)
We are completed with the Client 500 implementation.
We are starting the german implementation and they have created a intance of Holland ECC Dev client 500 for german implementation with german data.
Now they have setup 2 rfc connection in BWD 400.
Also finally when they move to QAS client they are going to integrate the data of the both countries into one client.
Presenlty I need to use ECC client 510 client for our german development.
We have around 40 SAP BI reports in our first implementation. and around 10 in our second implementation.
Just want to know, what are issues to be considered in loading master data ( will it overwrite the master data from the client 500, if i extract the master data from client 510 )...and all the other issues like can I copy all the process chains...etc from client ECC 500 to ECC 510, without creating all transformation, DTP , Infopackages to load all the master from client 510 again.
I need a broad understand on how to go about the development ...starting with Application Components transfer from source system Client 510 ....to report development. ( if possible using the already created objects....infopackages , DTP etc..)
your help would be really appricated Mr Roberto.
Thanks and Kind Regards,
Shekar.

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.
