Decision Process Variant

Hi All,
I want to put fiscal month as a condition in the formula for Decision making Process variant in a Process Chain.
It seems it only allows System Date.
Please help.

Check the below article link which explains the usage of decisions in Process chains

  • How to use the 'Decision between multiple alternatives' Process variant

    Hi ,
    Can anyone tell me how to use the 'Decision between multiple alternatives' Process variant in BI 7 Process chains ?
    The requuirement is that I have a DSO eg DSO 1 from which i have to load DSO 2 and DSO 3 . Now if the number of Records in DSO 1 are < 100 i will load DSO 2 from DSO 1 else i will load DSO 3 from DSO 1 .
    So in the PC i have used a 'ABAP Program' variant (which counts the number of rows in DSO 1) after loading DSO 1 and  after this 'ABAP Program' Variant , i have used the 'Decision between multiple alternatives' Process variant. Problem is it is giving me only some some system fields in the formula , like sy-datum or sy-timlo , which are of no use here .
    It would be great if i can receive some help here .
    --Devraj

    in RSPC you create a ABAP processing type "ending with specific values".
    We use true or false for things as you specify.
    your abap program should return a true or a false to indicate which of the situations is applicable.

  • How to use PREDECESSOR_PARAMETER in DECISION process type?

    HI Guys,
    I have a process chain where I need to use a decision process type and before it I have an abap program process type, so I have to get the result of my process type predecessor (Abap program process type) and fill in my decision process type to make a decision.
    I have a look on PREDECESSOR_PARAMETER on DECISION process type but I don't understand how I can use it.
    Now I am trying to figure out how to set parameters in a ABAP program running before the decision step and then using them in order to decide on the subsequent step.
    Does anybody have an idea?
    Thanks,
    Angeli

  • How to activate process variant in prod

    hi,
      When i am activating a newly transported process chain in PRODUCTION,i got the error :
    Process variant ATTRIBWAIT EVEN_44W1TMZUNLBVJO1F6MF9GFNT6 does not exist in version A.
    How do i activate the process variant ?.Its a wait process between the infopackages and attribute change run.
    Please help me its a bit of urgency.

    hi,
    I am not able to find that in sm62.
    Let me give clear picture.I updated the master process chain by putting wait process in between the infopackage and attribute change run.This wait process worked well in test system,but its giving an error in the production system when i try to activate and schedule the chain.So i am not able to schedule the chain.
    Please help me with this its a bit of urgency.

  • How to create process variant in process chain

    What is a process variant? i try to add Infocube compression to the fi process chain. To accomplish this task, i have to create process variant. please tell me the step by step process how to create process variant and successfully add the compression to the process chain. Can i do it directly in production? Thanks to SDN community that i can count on.

    Hi Rafi,
    <b>Process variants</b>
    The process variant is the name of the process Within the process chain context, it displays the configuration of a process of a particular type set at the time of definition. A variant is only consistently defined together with the process type. A process can have various variants. With the load process for example, the name of the InfoPackage is the name of the process variant.
    The user defines the process variant at the time when the process is scheduled. With some process types, the variants are determined internally and are stored as GUIDs.

       You can create process chains directly in Production. Most of the times system allows(depends on system settings). But this is not a proper way of working. Create in Development and transport it to Production.

  • Reg:Process variant still red while request in green

    Dear All,
    Repeat Delta process was success in InfoCube and request is in green status while in process chain process variant still red until repeat process variant 2 to 3 times then only process variant turn into   green  at same time my process chain subsequence process not triggered please guide me
    Regards,

    Hi,
    For the subsequnt process to finish U can run a FM: RSPC_PROCESS_FINISH
    RSPC_PROCESS_FINISH is a Function Module...........U hav to copy the detals from the table RSPCPROCESSLOG.........
    Check this blog:
    /people/siegfried.szameitat/blog/2006/02/26/restarting-processchains
    Once the Chain got Completed...to fix the issue permanently...Once try to deschedule the chain..then again Schedule it back..hope this issue will not come again..

  • How to delete Process Variants in Process chain

    Hello,
    I created few test Process Variants I would like to delete how can we delete those?

  • Someone knows PREDECESSOR_PARAMETER in DECISION process type???

    HI
    Today is my day of questions so here hopefully the last on....
    Die anybody know the formula parameter "PREDECESSOR_PARAMETER" that can be used in the DECISION process type?
    Google and sdn search provide exactly 2 results with this information:
    <i>
    PREDECESSOR _ PARAMETER: Runtime parameter of direct predecessor</i>
    According to the familia editor the parameter is to be used as follows:
      PREDECESSOR _ PARAMETER(<I_FIELDNAME>,<I_LOW_OR_HIGH>,<I_NUMBER_OF_VALUE>)
    Now I am trying to figure out how to set parameters in a ABAP program running before the decision step and then using them in order to decide on the subsequent step.
    Does anybody have an idea on that topic?
    The topic might also be interesting for an sdn BLOG.....

    Hi ,
    Did you get PREDECESSOR_PARAMETER working. If yes, can u pls share an example.

  • How to create process variant for delete index in a process chain

    Respected all
    I am creating a process chain, but unable to create process variant for the delete index. kindly tell me the
    step by step proceure for creating the variant for delete index. also if we use variant which is previously prepared then will it be safe? will it affect the other running process chian.
    pls reply
    thanks
    abhay

    Hi,
    Please do not use an already created variant for index deletion. It might delete indices of some other cube.
    You can follow the following steps -
    1. Open the chain in Edit mode and click on "Process Types" button
    2. On the Left hand side you will have various process types. Choose "Data Target Administration" and expand it.
    3. Choose the first process "Delete Index" (it will be marked with a trash bin sign) and drag it to your chain
    4. It will ask you create a variant. Press the create Button
    5. In new window enter the Process Variant technical name and description
    6. Then in new window choose Object Type = Cube through dropdown and Object name via browsing. After choosing the cube name click on "Transfer Selections"
    7. Save and return to your chain
    8. It will automatically generate a create index step also after delete index.
    9. You need to break the link between create and delete step and insert infopackage in between to get the following steps - delete index --> load cube --> create index.
    Please let me know if this is helpful..

  • How to delete process variant

    Hi.
    In process chain maintenance I have several process variants which
    are used nowhere.
    I can't remove them because when I am trying to do that by pressing
    Delete button, no action is performed.
    Is there another transaction where I can remove process variants
    or what may be possible reason of strange behaviour of Delete button
    in the RSPC transaction?

    Hi,
    The ways :
    1.You can find Delete Feature in the Variant Itself. Open a variant - Delete
    2.In the process do F4 and get the variant into the chain - delete now.
    3.when you edit the process chain, right click on the process and select maintain variant. On the next screen you have a delete button.

  • Error in Decision Process Type Transport ( process chain)

    Hi,
    I have used a decision process type in my process chain and hence used the BW formula builder to create the logic for the "if then else" conditions of the decision process type. I have collected the process chain with all the required components like the process chain, the start process type, the decision process type and the corresponding formulas.
    The trasnport went in fine with a warning (return code 4), but the formulas didn't get transported. The transport log reads like "An error occurred when deleting formula XYZ version A" at the RS_RSFO_AFTER_IMPORT.  The overall status is a 4 and even though the log reads like "An error" it is in yellow indicating that it is just a warning.
    I checked in target system ..other objects are transported except for the formulas. The table RSAFORMMAP doesn't contain any record for the formula ID XYZ in the target system whereas the sender system has corresponding entries.
    Transport requests are colleceted properly.. i able to see formula ID , all object table in TR. but stll its not moving to target system..
    what will be the issue?
    Regards

  • Process variants ?

    Hello,
    I am question regarding process variants when we are trying to model a process chain. When you create a new process chain it asks you for enter a existing rpocess variant. What do we have do there.? Like do we have to create new variants or SAP pre assigned for any particular process say delete indices or data load....
    Then when you try to add a process to the start process chain it again asks for process variant.?
    I am just confused as to what do we have to do there and how is related to the processes that we want to do.?
    Please help.
    Thanks in advance,
    Kiran

    After you have selected a process to be used in  the process chain,the variant actually indicates the 'specific' and 'unique' details of the process currently inserted.
    For example,once you have selected the data load option,it asks you to select the infopackage.The infopackage indicates the specifics for this 'data load' process.
    Another example is attribute change run.You insert the steps for the data loads of the attr/hier of the various infoobjects.Then when u want to run the attr change run you drag and drop this 'change run' process.The variant of the process actually indicates for which infoobjects this change run is to be scheduled.
    Convention usually is that each separate start process has its own unique start variant.
    Often as a shortcut..when u select a cube/ODS from the left tab,it gives a list of all available processes on that cube/ODS..drop/build indexes..data load..create aggregates..compression..delete previous requests..etc..The system will create the variants for you here,easing the job.
    If this is useful,do assign points.
