Create the process chain

Hi all,
Can someone tell me if my steps are correct for creating the process chain for uploading from ODS into the cube.
Here are steps that I did:
1. created the 'full load' infopackage in the infosource for uploading from the Infosource into the ODS.
2. right click on ODS and select 'update ODS Data in Data Target' to upload into the cube (select 'init load').
3. create another 'full load' infopackage in the infosource and use it to create the process chain by pressing the 'process chain maintenance'.
Thank you.

Hi Sriram,
Thank you for resolving my doubt that the 'init load' and 'delta load' cannot be done in the same day.
Can you also answer me these few qustions?
1. If I have to create one infosource to assign the datasource 8xxxx,then how can I see it in the infosource list when I click on 'show generated ODS object before I create the infosource? Please explain.
2.I did click on Setting-> Display generated Object -> Show generated ODS object in RSA1 but I still cannot see the infosource 8xxxxxx in the list. Why?
3. How can I schedule the delta IP if I don't right click on and select "Update ODS to data targets "? Can you clarifiy it? ( not sure if you mean to select 'generate export datasourc')
4.in you last sentence, you said: run the delta IP in chain; do you maean use the delta IP to create the process chain?
Thank you.

Problem in creating the Process Chain

hi Guru's
my client want to run a process chain for first 3 business days of the month for every hour.
then i created a 3 Process chains say ex. A B C.
Now i use the conditions for Process Chain A is Date and Time
i have given the date and time,
Selected Periodic Job Option
-> From Period Values button selected other period and given 1 for every month, 1 for every hour,
-> Selected the Restrictions Button and given the factory calender and selected " Job not to run on holiday and sundays "
therefore the chain can run on every month for whole day based on Factory calender.
the same options used for PC's B & C
The problem is the process Chain A has ran only once it didnt ran for every hour.
In released job i can see the job frequency for every month and every hour...
Request you gurus to suggest.

Lajvanth

2. Load data to PSA for ODS 1.
3. Load data to ODS 2
4. Activate the ODS 2
5. Read PSA and load data target to ODS 1.
6. Activate the ODS 1.
While checking the process Chain, i am getting the error message as

How to send a email as soon as the process chain starts

hi,
i feel i am doing the right thing . but i couldn't get the mail.
i have created the process chain.
and attached the message to the start of the chain.
i had inserted the subject to the message and the recepient id is attached to the addresse.
any thing else to be done.
every thing is connected.no need to do the settings as we were getting mails for the other chains.
please do reply in detail.

Issue realted to the process chain.

dear sir,
i hope all are doing great, this is the message regarding the issue with process chain in sap-bw(from application server)
i'm trying to load data from flat file to ods and infocube parallely, i've created the infocube and ods object and i've also created the respective infopackages and copied the name of infopackages.
i've created the process chain and in monitoring i.e. rspcm when i'm adding the process chain the status in not green its a yellow triangle.
apart from that i'm getting an error message saying that- objects have been locked by the sapuser.
please do help me to get rid of this issue.
please do send me the related documents regarding the process chains, that would help me to understand the concept.
thank you.

You will need to post this to a 'better' forum this is crystal reports.

Placing of the Process Chains

Hi
I created the Process Chains and it is placed at the 'Not Assigned' level. How would I changed this to something with a descriptive name?
Thanks,
RT

Hi,
Goto RSPC->Double click on the Process Chain you want to assign.
On the menu bar goto Process Chain->Attributes->Display Components->and in the drop down you can assign the component you want else you can create your own and then assign it.
Alternatively, from the toolbar goto the button next to the red and yellow arrows,(its a blue button with a triangle and some other symbol). That'll also take you to the assign component screen.

How to create an OS command that can be used in the process chains

I need to create a command that can copy files from one location to another for a unix machine.
I have the commands for the unix machine, but need to create a Z customer command so it can be executed in a process chain in SAP

Hi Again,
You can use ABAP program in the process chain.
I guess there are some OS level commands in ABAP which will allow you to open, close, read , write and move files.
Serach in ABAP help or on net.

How to create message at the end of the process chain

Hi friends,
I have created process chains. It's working fine. But I wanted to create message to give alert if process failure.
My requirement is if any process failure due to any reason message has to receive to the responsible person. I'm not sure how to do this.
Can anybody suggest how to do this if possible step by step.
Thanks & Regards
Siri

Hi,
Genarally, you can create a message, by right click and create message then give email ids in Maintain Recipent list (Recipt type = via internet) and then give message that you want to send in Edit Document.
Check whether the email address is maintained in SU01 in address tab.
Configure SMTP server is set up properly ( SCOT). Ask basis team to do it.
There is also other option to send the mail through program, for this you need to trigger any event or you can insert this program at teh end of the process chain.

Error while creating a process chain

Hello BI Gurus,
I have activated the Business Content Scenario in Plant Maintenance for Infocube 0PM_C08(Measurement Results).
It provides a datasource -> infocube flow,through DSO with transfer and update rules.(3.X scenario)
I have two questions -
1.When I am trying to create a process chain for this scenario for regular delta loads(Loading from the datasource - > DSO - > infocube),
Start - >Execute InfoPackage->Activate DSO Data ->
Then when i insert the Execute Infopackage for the load step from DSO to Infocube in the process chain and check it, it is giving an error saying "InfoPackage ZPAK_D50AJ26831X6L4IIOTZTSXWAE is generated; NOT able to be used as loading variant ".
I got this infopackage by right clicking on the context menu and going to Additional Functions -> Update 3.x data to Data targets.
Why am I getting this error and how to resolve it, bcos when i load it manually it is working fine?
2.If the error is because I did not use a infopack created by me, then how to create a infopack for loading to the infocube from DSO in BI7, because when i select from the Context Menu for creating infopack, it is taking me to the already generated IP ?
Also instead of using the 3.X mechanisms, if I decide to create a DTP, will the transformation created with it automatically map all the rules in the "Update Rules" for all fields?
Waiting for your guidance.
With Warm Regards,
Vineeth

Regarding "Delete Index" process in the process chain.

Hi Gurus
In the process chain, I have Delete Index -> Load Info pacakge -> Create Index process in the above order.
I am loading few records, so no need to delete indexes everytime. Can i remove the "Delete Index" process from the Chain without deleting the Create Index process. Or do I have to delete both.
Could you please clarify my doubt if possible in detail.
Thanks,
Regards,
aarthi

With the numbers you provided, you probably don't need to have the steps. With Oracle (not sure about all the other DB flavors) there are some other considerations:
Not having the indexes when loading the data can improve the load time since the bitmap indexes are not very efficient with respect to inserts/updates. The more dimensions you have, the more indexes there will be and the more noticable the impact of having the indexes present when loading.
The drop index process only drops the F fact table indexes. If you compress your cubes regularly so that you don't have many uncompressed requests, the index rebuild time will remain small, but if you have many uncompressed requests in your cube, the index rebuild time can begin to exceed whatever time you might save on the load with indexes deleted.
With bitmap indexes present, you can also occasionally receive a ORA-0600 deadlock error during the load process, and that can be prevented by dropping the indexes before loading or chose the load option packet by packet so that two packets are not trying to update the same index block at the same time.
Another concern in shops where reporting on the cube might occur during the load process - if you drop indexes prior to a load, any one trying to run a query on teh cube could have poor query performance since all the indexes will be missing onthe F fact table, this agina becomes more apparent the more data you have in the uncompressed fact table.
So it really comes down to your environment, but certainly drop the indexes any time you have large loads.

Help me to Create this Process Chain

Hi Gurus,
We have 3 Process chains,
1) Region 1
2) Region 2
3) Region 3
These three process chains were start at differt times and end time will depends upon the load of data. Now i want to do some manual calculations after the successful execution of this chains. So i have written three ABAP programs to do that calculations for 3 chains.
My scenerio is to create a new chain only so I have created a new chain with Start variant -> Decision variant -> 3 Program variants (For 3 chains)
Now i want to write the condition in decision variant to attach the respective program variants below it. ie,
Start -> Decision (Condition for successful execution of Chain Region 1) -> Program Variant 1
             Decision (Condition for successful execution of Chain Region 2) -> Program Variant 2
             Decision (Condition for successful execution of Chain Region 3) -> Program Variant 3
So i don know what exact logic to write in Decision variant...Please help me here...
Thanks & Regards,

HAI ,
A process chain is a sequence of processes that are scheduled to wait in the background for an event. Some of these processes trigger a separate event that can, in turn, start other processes. It looks similar to a flow chart. You define the list of Infopackages / DTPs that is needed to load the data, say delta or Full load. Then you schedule the Process chain as hourly, daily, monthly, etc, depending on the requirement
process chains for which info providers ?? i mean to say... for cube or? DSO?
ok now below i explained for DSO... try it out it will work.. 100%
Step 1: Go to RSPC transaction. Click on Create. Give Process chain name and Description.
Step 2: Give the Start process name and description and click on Enter
Note: Each process chain should start with a Start Process
Step 3: The next screen will show the Scheduling options.
There are two options:
Direct Scheduling:
Start Using Meta Chain or API
In my example I have chosen Direct Scheduling as I am processing only one chain i.e DSO. Click on u201CChange Selectionsu201D
In the below screen shot, you can give the scheduling details i.e the Immediate, Date& time etc. and click on SAVE
The Screen shot below indicates that we have started the process.
Step 4:
Click on the icon process types as shown in the below figure. You will get a list of options.
In my example I am scheduling for DSO. To process we need to have InfoPackage, DTPu2019s for the corresponding DSO
Open the tree Load Process and Post Processing, We need to drag and drop u201CExecute InfoPackageu201D
Step 5: Once you drag and drop the u201CExecute infopackageu201D we get the below Popup. We need to keyin the Infopackage name. To do this click on F4 and chose your Infopackage and click on ENTER
Step 6: Save + Activate and Execute the Process.

The 0co_om_opa_6 ip in the process chains takes long time to run

Hi experts,
The 0co_om_opa_6 ip in the process chains takes long time to run around 5 hours in production
I have checked the note 382329,
-> where the indexes 1 and 4 are active
-> index 4 was not "Index does not exist in database system ORACLE"- i have assgined to " Indexes on all database systems and ran the delta load in development system, but guess there are not much data in dev it took 2-1/2 hrs to run as it was taking earlier. so didnt find much differnce in performance.
As per the note Note 549552 - CO line item extractors: performance, i have checked in the table BWOM_SETTINGS these are the settings that are there in the ECC system.
-> OLTPSOURCE - is blank
   PARAM_NAME - OBJSELSIZE
   PARAM_VALUE- is blank
-> OLTPSOURCE - is blank
   PARAM_NAME - NOTSSELECT
   PARAM_VALUE- is blank
-> OLTPSOURCE- 0CO_OM_OPA_6
   PARAM_NAME - NOBLOCKING
   PARAM_VALUE- is blank.
Could you please check if any other settings needs to be done .
Also for the IP there is selction criteris for FISCALYEAR/PERIOD from 2004-2099, also an inti is done for the same period as a result it becoming difficult for me to load for a single year.
Please suggest.

The problem was the index 4 was not active in the database level..it was recommended by the SAP team to activate it in se14..however while doing so we face few issues se14 is a very sensitive transaction should be handled carefully ... it should be activate not created.
The OBJSELSIZE in the table BWOM_SETTINGS has to be Marked 'X' to improve the quality as well as the indexe 4 should be activate at the abap level i.e in the table COEP -> INDEXES-> INDEX 4 -> Select the u201Cindex on all database systemu201D in place of u201CNo database indexu201D, once it is activated in the table abap level you can activate the same indexes in the database level.
Be very carefull while you execute it in se14 best is to use db02 to do the same , basis tend to make less mistake there.
Thanks Hope this helps ..

I have a problem in creating a Process Chain(PC).

Hi GURU's
I have a problem in creating a Process Chain(PC). The PC should run on first 3 business days of the month for six times i,e 6am, 7am,8am, 9am,10am,11am.
For this i have created 3 PC like BD1, BD2, BD3, and i selected the Factory calender provided workday 1, 2 , 3 and time for three chains.
Now should i schedule it for 6times in a day.
I tried creating a new job for one of PC's but i have to change the timings for every month (this is not the proper solution).
Please help me.
Regds
Lajwanth

Hi Friend,
For the days part, you can create a new factory calendar with first 3 business days of each month only as working days.
Then in the scheduling -> Restrictions; you can mention that Factory Calendar id and select radio button for "Move job to next working day". Schedule the chain as Periodic "Hourly".
Then for the Time part -> You can insert process type "Decision between multiple alternatives" after the start variant.
After you insert this process type you can create a formula in it to check for system time. In the if condition check for system time i.e., whether it is between 6 - 11. If only the system time is between 6 AM to 11 AM only then the decision step would turn to green and go to the successor step in the process chain.
Process chain would be like:
Start variant -> Decision Step -> Rest of the chain.
So in short the factory calendar will take care of which days the chain will run and decision step will take care of the timings.
