Deleting Process Chain variants

I apologize if this answer is already in these forums!  I'm a first timer and I've searched as much as I know how.
We have created many process chains over the past 2 years which have been tweaked and tweaked.  Whenever I add a new Process type to a chain, I'm prompted for a variant.  I can either pick from an existing, or create a new one.  Our list of existing variants has grown and I would really like to clean up old / unused variants.  I would like to know if there is a way to find out whether a variant is currently used in a Process Chain or not.
Some of my searches on the forum have retrieved a list of tables associated with Process Chains, i.e. RSPC*.  I'd prefer not to cross-check each step in my chains against this list of 29 tables to determine which is actually used.  I'd hope there's an easier way?
Thanks!

Hi:
You have some options to do this. some are.
a) In RSPCM, Click on process chain, go into PLANNING VIEW. Now when you edit the process chain (ex: double clicking on the START variant), it will display the variant properties. You can find the delete button on the top, just click on that.
b) If not, just do a selection criteria (F4) on the variant, select the variant you want to delete and then hit delete.
Hope this helps.

  • How to delete Process Chain Variant

    Hi  all~
    I'd like to delete Process Chain Variant .
    But I can't find delete menu from RSPC.
    It could be easy, but... I can't find it~ ^^;;
    Thank you in advance~ ^^;;

    Hello,
    1. Select the necessary process type from the menu.
    2. Type in the technical name of the variant and click change button.
    3. When maintenance screen is opened you can delete the variant by clicking delete button.
    or
    chk the tables for your variants :
    RSPCVARIANTATTR
    RSPCVARIANT
    RSPCVARIANTT
    RSPCTRIGGER
    Or you can go to maintain variant for any existing variant and choose your variant form the list, delete it.

  • Error in process chain variant

    Hi all.
    I get an error "Variant ALL is not persistent" when I try to add the "Adjustment of Time-Dependent Aggregates"(TIMCHNGRUN) process type to mye process chain. The error message is RSPC023. I am unable to change the variant, or create a new one. I get the same error if I try.
    I suspect that this variant is corrupt or something like that. Any help on this one?

  • How to delete Process Chains

    Hi Experts,
    I created Process chain for Deliveries in D sys and transported to P sys. Here we have six source systems so  first we created 6 process chains for each  source systems. Later we decide to add all those variants in one Process chain and we deleted individual process chain and transported to P sys.
    So Process chains are deleted in D system and P system but changes are not effected in P system. Process Chains are not invisible both D & P systems.
    But when we run the Deliveries Process chain, deleted Process chains are also running. And getting Error due to both are scheduled at same time. Because deleted Process chains are still showing in where used list....
    Can any one help me guys!!!!
    Thank you,
    Suresh

    Hi Suresh,
    Can you please let us know what type of scheduling option you have used in the start variant.
    Also please have a check if the start variant in all the chains are the same?
    As per my understanding unless the start variant is triggered the chains will not get scheduled.
    Also there is a bug in Bi7.0, that once the process chain transport has been completed to other environemt its starts getting executed if the start variant hold tha option as Direct scheduling - > Immediate.

  • Error in process chain variant when executing BI IP planning sequence

    Hi All,
    I am trying to execute a planning sequnce as a background job using a process chain. Here one of the variant failed giving an error as : Overflow occurred when calculating <Key figure name> with value  6.5231044352058409E18+.
    I tried executing that process chain variant separately using the ABAP program RSPLS_PLSEQ_EXECUTE as a background job, but still its not working.
    At last I tried executing the individual planning step in the planning modeler, but again the same error.
    Earlier such case was resolved by compressing the planning cube requests and executing the failed variant using the ABAP program, but this time even compression is not helping to solve this.
    Can anyone please help on this issue ?

    Hi Andrey,
    This Key figure is created of the data type CURR (Stored as decimal) for Amount type. Now the length of CURR is maintained by SAP as 17 with 2 decimal places, so do you mean that I have to switch to other data type to hold the large value that is getting generated.
    My concern is : the error is coming for just one of the variant of the chain and not for other variants. If it has something to do with the KF data type, then certainly all others variants must have thrown the same error.

  • H how to find  if the psa table is included in psa deletion process chain

    Hi all
    can anybody tell me .
    I have a psa table it's technical name is /BIC/B*
    h how to find  the  above psa table is included in psa deletion process chain or not
    please help me

    Hi
    Ope the PC in RSPC1 -->go to planning view of process chain
    in left side you will find different types of process types.
    under other BW process types folder -->you will find process type "Delete request from PSA"
    drag this into your process chain planning view and customize it based on your requirements.
    check the below article for step by step procedure

    Hi,
    you can restore it from a backup or in case the chain was transported from one of the target systems or the development system. No other way.

  • How to find deleted process chain and query

    Hi All
    Some body has deleted one process chain and one query from development system
    how can i know who has deleted these?
    is there any table where deleted process chain and queries will maintain????
    Thanks & Regards,

    Hi,
    Usually its totally in tractable to find a deleted chain :
    But you can try out with the following options:
    1> T-code SLG2 .
    2> T-code SLG1 - find out who was logged on to the system on that particular client at that time.
    3> Try out the following tables in se16 :
    RSPCLOGS           --- Application Logs for the Process Chains
    RSPCLOGCHAIN    --- Cross-Table Log ID / Chain ID
    RSPCCOMMANDLOG --- System Command Execution Logs (Process Chains) .
    Hope it will be expedite.
    Thax & Regards.

  • Process Chain Variant

    Hi All,
    We are using BW 3.5. We have a scenario where we are loading data from a Source ODS to one Target CUBE and one Target ODS. I have created the Delta Initialization for the Datamart Infosource and the Data got loaded to cube and ODS simultaneously. In both the target data was ready for reporting. Then I did a delta update, data got loaded to both but was ready for reporting only for Cube but not for ODS.
    The Process chain which loads the Source ODS has Further Processing step but it's not taking care of Activating the Target ODS. Should I create a Process Chain variant to Activate the ODS separately?
    Please suggest. Thanks.
    Vivek

    Hi,
    In the PC after the step where you have loaded data in the DSO you have to create a ACR to activate the DSO.
    Do this:
    Go to process types, select other BW processes. In that select 'Attributr Change Run' and drag it.
    Create a variant for it. Then it will ask you for the Object type, there you have to give the name of the DTP or the info package whichever is loading data into the DSO. Finally click on save.
    This will ensure the DSO is activated after it is laoded.
    Hope this helps.
    thanks,

  • Process chain variants suspended

    Hi Friends
    We have daily loads through process chains and every running properly and we are on BW3.5 version.
    However last night all our daily loads start variant just started and cancelled the jobs, the following variants delete index ,data load from R/3 variants not schedulled.
    It's not for only one process chainl,it's happened for all process chains.Just start variant started then the next variant could not started.It's on production system.
    What could be the problem?
    Points will be awarded for the right answers.
    Regards,
    Chama.

    Hi,
    I am not sure about the cause. But we faced a similar situation. I will explain the procedure we peformed to resolve it.
    Symptom: The chain is hanging in yellow state at start variant itself without going further (when it is not getting triggered / process is in yellow for a long time). If that is the case try this.
    Go to Chain in Planning view.
    then go to variant maintenance for the start process. (Where we schedule the chain)
    Select "Start Using Metachain or API" option and save.
    Come back to planning view and Trigger/Schedule the chain.
    Go to Log View.
    Then go to tab "view" and select "Merge active version".
    Come back to Log view and right clic k(context menu) on the process which is in yellow/incorrect process. you will see a message called "Stop process again".
    Click it and then refresh.
    The chain should start running from where it was hanging.
    Procedure for System Administration (Once the chain is over)
    Steps added to put change the Process Chain back to the original stage:
    1. Re-select "Direct Scheduling"
    2. Re-activate and schedule the Process chain.
    Thanks,
