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.

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

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....

Error in Transporting Process Chains

Hi All,
I have a requirement of changing the object name of the Process Chain.
This I have achieved by copying the existing process chain and meeting the naming conventions of the process chain as per client requirement.
Now As both the process chain have the same start variant shows the error. Again I have solved the same by removing the start process of the original process chain and created a new start process for the original process chains. This now shows no error.
The problem is when I try to transport the copied process chains I am getting the error pop up message
"Edit objects separately since they belong to different original systems"
Kindly help how to transport the same

Hi DPN,
Check oout this thread. This might solve yuor problem.

Process LOADING has no predecessor in Process chain

Hi Experts,
I have copied Process chain with all process and I have included new steps in process chain like change log deletion and delete & create index(the process chain has data mart functionality which mean that, first it load to DSO and then from DSO it load to Cube) so after Start variant I have included Change log deletion Step and then after Activation of DSO I have included delete Index step and then after IP load to Cube I have included Create Index step therefore which is the PC in the form of
1) Start Process
2) Change log deletion
3) Load IP (Target to only PSA)
4) Read PSA and Update to data target (DSO)
5) Activate the DSO
6) Delete Index
7) Load IP (Data mart from DSO to Cube)
8) Create Index
9) Delete request from PSA.
all process are connected but when I activated I was getting error message that Process LOADING has no predecessor
so pls advise me what went wrong or what should I do.
Note
1) load type is full load and I was in BI.7
2) there is no DTP engaged

Hi
during creation of modification of chain you must have deleted few links to Loading step.
Go to settings-> Default chains and see if autosuggest is on, if it is on this might have cause this.
To Resolve this problem go to edit mode of chain and then go to View->Detail view on
now you will be able to see unlinked loading step.
Delete unlinked and un necessary steps from here and reactivate chain.
Hope this works

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

Executed process chain in 10.0NW

Hi all,
Is there a way of seeing how the variables of a process inside a process chain are filled when executed? I MS version, when adding "Debug(ON)", the executed package is leaved in webfolder with all the variables filled. It is very useful for debugging porpuses
do you know abaout other strategy for debugging process chains in NW?
Thanks in advance

Hi Vadim,
I am just trying to adapt the standard copy process chain to my client requeriments. But my question was more about if there is a way for debugging process chains like in MS version with "Debug(ON)" sentence. And if not, at least how to check how the variables in a process chain is filled during execution.
Thank you.

Process Chain name Chage

Hi All,
I am trying to find out a way to change the technical name of my Process Chain. I didn't find any option for deletion too. Can any one of you advise on this. Thank You.

Hello Troy,
I don't think you can change the technical name of a process chain. Copy the existing process chain into a new one and delete the old one.
Copy process chain
Transaction RSPC -> Double click on process chain-> type "COPY" in transaction area
Delete Process chain
Transaction RSPC -> Double click on process chain-> Shift-F2 ( or from menu -> Process chain -> Delete).

Praveen

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
Error message after process chain transport
Hope this helps

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.

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
Assign points if helpful
