Create job chain - SAPF100

Hi,
I want to schedule 15 jobs , run at first day.of every month . In SM36, i created jobA and then i created jobB and define jobB when finished start. And i created other jobs like this. I defined jobA periodic job. But second month, jobA ran, but jobB and other jobs didn't run. Those jobs have variants .
Is there any way to correct this ? If answer is no , how can i do the transactions with ABAP ?
I think, first program , job open, job submit etc. and define this periodic job. and when finish submit other program.
Could you please help me ?
Best Regards,
Hasan,

i solved by myself.
thanks,

Can we schedule steps in Job Chain to run at a particular time of the Day.

Hi ,
We have created a Job chain for 3 steps.our requirement is we want to step 1 to run as per the schedule of Job chain but we want step2 to run on fri 2 gmt and step 3 to run on saturday 1 gmt.
is ther any setting in Job chain so that we can schedule subsequent steps to run at a particular time.
Regards

Hi,
You can add a timewindow to the jobdefinitions that you call in step 2 and 3, to restrict the start times for these jobs to the desired time.

Backing up Jobs, Chains and Programs in Oracle Job Scheduler

What is the best way to back up Jobs, Chains and Programs created in the Oracle Job Scheduler via Enterprise Manager - and also the best way to get them from one database to another. I am creating quite a long chain which executes many programs in our test database and wish to back everything up along the way. I will also then need to migrate to the production database.
Thanks for any advice,
Susan

Hi Susan,
Unfortunately there are not too many options.
To backup a job you can use dbms_scheduler.copy_job. I believe EM has a button called "create like" for jobs and programs but I am not sure about chains and this can be used to create backups as well.
A more general purpose solution which should also cover chains is to do a schema-level export using expdp i.e. a dump of an entire schema.
e.g.
SQL> create directory dumpdir as '/tmp';
SQL> grant all on directory dumpdir to public;
# expdp scott/tiger DUMPFILE=scott_backup.dmp directory=dumpdir
You can then import into a SQL text file e.g.
# impdp scott/tiger DIRECTORY=dumpdir DUMPFILE=scott_backup SQLFILE=scott_backup.out
or import into another database (and even another schema) e.g.
# impdp scott/tiger DIRECTORY=dumpdir DUMPFILE=scott_backup
Hope this helps,
Ravi.

How to setup job chain with time dependant steps

Hi
I need to setup the following job chain with next job step waiting until specified time before starting
Step 1 Job A Time 07:30 if complete go to job step 2
Step 2 Job B start time 09:00 if complete go to job step 3
Step 3 Job C start time 09:30 (end job)
Have tried to use a pre-condition in step 2 and 3 but that just caused thoes steps to be skipped.
can somebody point me in the right direction
Thanks in advance
Jon

Hi Anton/Babu
Thanks for your help, I managed to set this up by embedding multiple Job Chains with their own time window in a master job chain.
As we continue our roll out not sure how scalable the solution will be as you have to create multiple job chains for essentially the same job with the only difference being a specific time window.
I guess only time will tell.
Thanks for you help again guys

How to create process chain for 0EMPLOYEE

I want to create process chain for 0EMPLOYEE attribution and text, how to create it and make a schedule for daily loading? Could anyone write steps in my case? Thanks!

Hi,
Follow the following steps:
1. Go to RSPC->create->give name and disc of your chain.
Start Variant Creation
2. Now you will be prompted to give a start variant,create a new variant(click on page icon )
3.Change Selections->date/ time.
4.give date and time for start of the chain.
5.click the check box for periodic job->period values->daily->save->save
Addition of process types
6.Select the process type "Execute Infopackage"
7.select the name of the infopackage which loads attr data to 0EMPLOYEE.
8.Attribute Change run will come automatically( if not then drag it as well and create variant )
9.select the name of the infopackage which loads text data to 0EMPLOYEE.
10.Attribute change run wil again follow.
(connect the process types which are not connected,by right clicking the process types )
                             start
                       IP A     IP T

1) I think the best book for basics of APO is Supply Chain management with SAP APO by Jörg Thomas Dickersbach . You have to have it
http://books.google.co.in/books?id=5CA3y7_LY2MC&pg=PA167&lpg=PA167&dq=supplychainplanningAPOdickersbach&source=bl&ots=xuV5qbwq7V&sig=v1UmlBoA3v0T1zvdfOJYngFPaJI&hl=en&ei=9v8MTK2pCM-LkAWUyP3ZDw&sa=X&oi=book_result&ct=result&resnum=1&ved=0CAkQ6AEwAA
2). try sourcing the SAP SCM certification books
3). Help.sap.com. I dont think you can find any material more detailed than this
4). Access SDN and look for wiki and blogs
5). GOOGLE!!! For instance thsi si something really really useful I found on Google for CIF:

Submit Multiple Job Definitions/Job Chains with same Time window/Submit frame in mass

Hi,
We have a requirement to submit multiple Job Definition/Job Chains which are part of common Time Window/Submit frame/Queue....
Ex. We have over 50+ different jobs/job chains which will runs Monday to Friday for every 2 hours on same Queue "XXX_Queue". Instead of submitting each job/job chain manually, we would like to know if we could use any script that can achieve our requirement? since we have couple of other jobs which fall under same scenarios...
We are on M33.104 version. Please let me know if any one has any scripts or alternate way of submitting multiple jobs/job chains in mass.
Thanks in advance!
Nidhi.

Hi Nidhish,
Here is some code to set some stuff on a job:
//Get the partition, for global this is not necessary as global is default
Partition part = jcsSession.getPartitionByName("GLOBAL");
//Get the job definition
JobDefinition jobdef=jcsSession.getJobDefinitionByName(part, "System_Info");
//Get the submit frame
SubmitFrame sf = jcsSession.getSubmitFrameByName(part, "SF_Every_Year");
//Get the time window
TimeWindow tw = jcsSession.getTimeWindowByName(part, "System_Week_WorkingHours");
//Set the start time
DateTimeZone dtz = new DateTimeZone(2015, 10, 18, 15, 0, 0, 0);
//Get the Queue
Queue SystemQ=jcsSession.getQueueByName(part, "System");
//Create the Job
Job infoJob=jobdef.prepare();
//Attach queue to job
infoJob.setQueue(SystemQ);
//Attach submit frame, time window, start time
infoJob.setSubmitFrame(sf);
infoJob.setTimeWindow(tw);
infoJob.setRequestedStartTime(dtz);
//Print out the jobid of the job
jcsOut.println(infoJob.getJobId());
//Submit the job
jcsSession.persist();

Job Chain in RAC Environment

Hi,

I need that all the steps of my chain are performed on the same instance.
How can i do this?
Now stepA run on the instance 1 and stepB run on the instance 2.
Thanks.

Again, If it is a file system write issue, use ACFS (11.2.0.x) to create a shared file system that all nodes can see. What are you using to delete/create these files? A shell script?
1) create an ACFS file system of sufficient size to handle your data
2) mkdir /some/acfs/location
3) using sqlplus create a database directory " create directory foo as '/some/acfs/location' "
4) put the file in this location
5) use UTL_FILE to delete AND create the file (see fremove() - http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E11882_01/appdev.112/e10577/u_file.htm)

Need informations about dependency scenario with job chains

Hi,
I created several job chains containing one ora mor scripts.
Now I want to create dependencies between this job chains. For example : job chain 2 must begin when job chain 1 is finished, job chain 3 must begin when job chain 2 is finished etc...
So my first question : how can I do that ? (create dependencies between job chains)
Second point : all this job chains have not the same time periods : example : job chain 1 must execute every day, job chain 2 every monday, job chain 3 every day...... so if i take the example of tuesday : job chain 1 must execute and when it is finished then job chain 3 must execute. On Monday : job chain1, then job chain 2 and for finish job chain 3. How can I do that ?
Edited by: kennel yves on Aug 19, 2009 12:27 PM

Hi Yves,
If your chains are not dependent on each other, you should submit them as separate jobs.
So if you have a chain that runs every workday at 18:00, and another chain that runs on Tuesday and Friday at 14:00, and there are no dependencies between the chains, then you should:
- submit the first chain at 18:00, time window "Workdays", submit frame "EveryDay"
- submit the second chain at 14:00, time window "TuesdaysAndFridays", submit frame "EveryDay" (it will skip the days that the time window is closed anyway)
Same for the other independent chains with different schedules. If there are no dependencies, there is no need to combine chains together.
The first reply was for the scenario where you have chain A and B, A starts at some time and B starts after A. Additionally, B only runs on Tuesdays, while A runs every workday. In that case there are dependencies between the two chains, and then a parent chain is very convenient:
- chain "RunAandB", with two steps
- step 1: call chain A
- step 2: call chain B, with a precondition so that B only runs on Tuesdays.

Steps for Creating Process chain!

Hi All,
I want to create process chain which can schedule IP and run the concern job to fill infocubes/ODS?Can someone please guide me stepwise how to proceed.Some sort of doc will eb appreciated.

Hi,
   You can either create a process chain directly in the process chain maintenance screen, or by using a maintenance dialog for a process
Creating a Process Chain Directly in the Process Chain Maintenance Screen
In the BW Administrator Workbench
1.      Choose the Process Chain Maintenance icon from the AWB toolbar.
2.      Choose Create.
3.      Enter the technical name and a description of the chain, and confirm your entry.
   4.      Create a variant for a start process.
       On the Maintain Start Process screen, choose whether you want to schedule the chain directly or whether you want to start it using a metachain.
       If you choose to schedule the chain directly, enter the start date value for a chain under Change Selections and save your entries.
       Save your entries, go back to the previous screen and confirm your entries in the Add Start Process dialog box.
The Plan View of the process chain maintenance screen appears.
In the left-hand area of the screen, a navigation area is displayed. In the right-hand area of the screen, the process chain is displayed.
       5.      Use Drag&Drop or double-click to add the relevant processes to your process chain.
Choose Process Types to select the processes. This sorts the process types according to different categories. You can also call up InfoPackages and processes for the data target from the separate InfoSources and Data Targets navigation trees.
               If you insert a process into the chain that is linked to additional processes by default, the respective process variants are generated and automatically inserted into the process chain. These variants are suggestions and can be changed, replaced or removed from the chain as required. Variant maintenance is called when the change run performs automatic insert.
a.       On the Maintain Start Process screen, choose whether you want to schedule the chain directly or whether you want to start it using a metachain.
b.       If you choose to schedule the chain directly, enter the start date value for the chain under Change Selections and save your entries.
The Maintain Start Process screen appears again.
c.       Save your entries, go back to the previous screen and confirm your entries in the Add Start Process dialog box.
The Plan View of the process chain maintenance screen appears.
               The various process categories, the application processes, and collection processes are displayed in the left-hand area of the screen. In the right-hand area of the screen, the process chain is displayed.
                  If the process that you used to create a chain is linked to additional processes by default, the respective process variants are generated and inserted into the process chain automatically. These variants are suggestions and can be changed, replaced or removed from the chain as required. Variant maintenance is called when the change run performs automatic insert.
                  Choose Process Types to select the processes. This sorts the process types according to different categories. You can also call up InfoPackages and processes for the data target from the separate InfoSources and   Data Targets navigation trees.
        When you add a process, you need to select a process variant or create a new variant. For collection processes, the system uniquely determines the variants.
        Various functions for editing the process are available from the context menu
Maintain variants With the exception of the variants in the collection processes OR and EXOR, you can use this function to change all process variants.
Exchange variants
You can exchange the variants for an existing variant or a variant that is to be created.
    You can use this function to link a process to a successor process. You can choose from the processes that are not yet linked to the current process. They are grouped according to process type in submenus.
      Display scheduled jobs
Once the process chain is active, you can use this function to display the jobs that have been scheduled.
       After at least one process chain run, you can display all of the scheduled jobs for a specific process and all of the jobs with which this process was run. The Job Overview appears and you can call the relevant job log.
Create message
    You can also send messages to an application process of the chain, depending on the success or failure of the process.
1.       To do this, using the context menu for a process, create another process variant of type Send Message.
2.       If you maintain a message, first specify whether you want the message to be sent when the process has been completed successfully or unsuccessfully. Then choose Next.
3.       A dialog box appears, in which you can select an existing process variant or create a new one.
4.       If you create a new process variant, edit the document that is going to be sent and maintain a list of recipients.
5.       Save your process variant and go back.
The message process variant is now assigned to your application process. When the message is sent, the status information and the process log are also sent.
Only use this function to debug a process run.
Specify how long (in seconds) you want the delay to be between one event being triggered and the next process starting.
You can capture the process in the debugger by using transaction SM37 (Job Overview) or SM50 (Process Overview).
Remove process
You use this function to remove a process from a process chain.
Manage data target
You use this function to call the data target administration for the following types of process variants:
         Construct index
         Delete index
         Construct database statistics
         Roll up filled aggregates
         Compress InfoCube
         Activate DataStore object data
       7.      Hold down the left mouse button to connect the processes with events.
Before you do this, select the process underneath the process type row, and position the cursor over the required process. When you select the process type row, the whole process is moved into the plan view.
From the context menu of a link, you can display the event or remove the link. To do this, select the link and right-click with the mouse.
       8.      If necessary, specify whether you want the event to be triggered after the previous process has been completed successfully or unsuccessfully, or whether you want the event to be triggered independently of the outcome of the process that precedes it. If the process that triggers the event has more than one option, choose the option after which the successor process is to be run
       9.      Assign a display component to the process chain using Attributes
     10.      Maintain additional process chain attributes if necessary.
     11.      Check your process chain in the Check View and make any necessary corrections.
The Legend explains the meaning of the different colors used to display the processes and links.
From the context menu for a process, you can display the messages resulting from the check.
During the check, the system calculates the number of parallel processes according to the structure of the chain . The result is compared with the number of background processes on the chosen server (or the total of all available servers if no server is specified in the attributes of the process chain). If the number of parallel processes is greater than the number of available background processes, the system highlights every level of the process chain where the number of processes is too high. The system produces a warning for these levels.
   12.      Save your process chain if it does not contain any errors.
You can activate and schedule your process chain. After scheduling, the chain starts in accordance with the start process selections. For example, if you scheduled the start process directly and chose Immediately as the start date value, the chain run starts immediately after scheduling. In the Log View, you can display the reports for the chain runs.

Creating process chains

Hi guys,
I need a step-by-step guide on how to create process chains urgently, could you please walk me through the process of what to click on to begin with e.t.c.
Thanks in advance

Hi Gurbinder,
First of all you need to Identify the InfoObjects if you want to take up Master Data Loads, and if you want take up transaction loads then select the Data Targets to which the data has to be updated. Then plan the dataflow accordingly.
You want to create a Process Chain, Go to RSPC, and then select the create option and from the Process categories available on the left handside drag and drop the Start process, then define the Variant for the same. In the same way you need to identify the other Process Types available on the lefthand side. For Eg: Start Process>Load to ODS>Activation of ODS Data>Delete Indexes for the InfoCube>Load to InfoCube>Create Indexes>Delete Overlapping Req-->Agg. Rollup.
This is how you need to specify the dataflow, several other Process Types also included based on the requirement For Eg: Sending Mail Alerts when the Job is Success or Terminated.
Hope this will Help you..

Madhu

Grafical overview of Job chains with dependencies by event

Hi,
we want to activate/monitor various process chains in APO and BW SAP systems which are dependent of each other.
We intend to handle this with Events (wait events and raise events).
For this reason we have created a job chain for each process chain. In the first and only step the job definition 'SAP_BW_ProcessChainRun' is started and activates the 'Technical Name of SAP BW Process Chain:
Do we have a chance to get a graphical overview over all with event sceduling realized dependent job chains?
Thanks

Günter

Hi,
If there are dependencies between your BW Process Chains, you can use something like a master Job Chain definition in CPS to set up your dependencies between them (with failure or success outcomes, based on the step statuses). For chains that can run in parallel you can have multiple jobs (that can be other job chains) in a job chain step, and depedent jobs can be other steps that are triggered when a previous step completes / fails. Just check of course that thes jobs are your process chain jobs and not just event triggers.
[link to SAP help for BW chains and CPS|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04s/helpdata/de/bb/033b3c9f8c4b5ca34045688c6a9f7b/content.htm]

Job Chain question

Hi,
i want to schedule a job chain.
I 've created 4 chain steps.
The first perform an action and the second must be executed only if the first completed successfully.
The third must be executed only if the second ends successfully, etc.
The Chain_rule_2 is
CHAIN_STEP_1 Completed and CHAIN_STEP_1 SUCCEEDED
The chain_rule_3 is
CHAIN_STEP_2 Completed and CHAIN_STEP_2 SUCCEEDED
But the job is actually running because there isn't an end steps (I suppose).
End step must be done if all steps works fine or if only one failed.
Any ideas?
Thanks.

You can add rules in Chains:
Chain rules define when steps run, and define dependencies between steps. Each rule has a condition and an action. Whenever rules are evaluated, if a rule's condition evaluates to TRUE, its action is performed. The condition can contain Scheduler chain condition syntax or any syntax that is valid in a SQL WHERE clause. The syntax can include references to attributes of any chain step, including step completion status. A typical action is to run a specified step or to run a list of steps.
All chain rules work together to define the overall action of the chain. When the chain job starts and at the end of each step, all rules are evaluated to see what action or actions occur next. If more than one rule has a TRUE condition, multiple actions can occur. You can cause rules to also be evaluated at regular intervals by setting the evaluation_interval attribute of a chain.
Conditions are usually based on the outcome of one or more previous steps. For example, you might want one step to run if the two previous steps succeeded, and another to run if either of the two previous steps failed.
Scheduler chain condition syntax takes one of the following two forms:
stepname [NOT] SUCCEEDED
stepname ERROR_CODE {comparision_operator|[NOT] IN} integer
You can combine conditions with boolean operators AND, OR, and NOT() to create conditional expressions. You can employ parentheses in your expressions to determine order of evaluation.

Any WebI reports / graphs for job chain performance over time?

I am trying to get reports over time that contain job and job chain information such as job chain, job description, elapsed time, job status, etc to allow for trend reporting against the job schedules. Thanks for any help. I would have thought that there was some basic reporting that could execute and be saved for reporting and reference.

Hi Robert,
For WebI/Graph report, you need to create the Dashboard but it will not give details which you required. It will be created on basis over day, time and dialer. You can find the option there for Graph/Techno etc.
If you want to create the report, please refer to below thread:

Process has no predecessor while creating process chains for Inventory

Hi Experts,
I have created process chain for Inventory and this inventory cube have compression also.so, i included compression of the infocube after create index.
Here while i am checking the chain ,am getting the error called : PROCESS HAS NO PREDECESSOR.
Please give some inputs,what does it mean and how to solve.
Thanks
Lakshmi

Hi Murali,
Thanks for your reply.
You mean to say that i should not include BX-IP,DTP in the list.as we know that this is only one time job.
But in prodn system with out including BX in the list,how to initialise for the first time.
So,first time we need to manually run the IP,DTP in prodn system.
Plz let me know.
Note:Murali, In the process chains list after create index,i dragged "COMPRESSION OF THE INFOCUBE" and i specified 0IC_C03 CUBE and continued.
Along with compression of the infocube there is one more box has come into picture i.e SIGMA ADJUST(GENERATED FROM COMPRESSION ZPC_INV_0IC_C03_COMPRESSION) like that its came.
Do we need to remove that or should i keep it in the list.
Thanks
