Do we need to create process chain explicitly nor system generates process

Hi all,
Do we need to create process chain explicity in bpc netweaver nor the system generates it internally when we run data managment packages
thanks
Pooja

When you install BPC, there is a set of delivered process chains which are installed as well. You create the data manager packages from the BPC Excel clicent based on these process chains. You can of create custom BPC process chains in NetWeaver and create packages from those as well(for example via a How-To guide). So to answer your question, no, you do not have to create the "standard" process chains, and they are not generated by the system either, they are delivered as part of the BPC installation.

How to create process chains,and how to use process like and or xor

Hi,
How to create process chains,and how to use process like and or xor.
can any one please give me a example in each.
Thanks,
cheta.

Hi Cheta,
Here is step by step procedure to create process chains
Process chain is nothing but executing a process ..(or) loading the data any process we can do in background.. that means.. automatically we can execute our process based on Time or any event..
Creating Process Chains
Prerequisites
If you want to include a load process in the process chain, you need to have already created an InfoPackage.
You cannot load flat file data from a client workstation in the background. For this reason, you have stored your data on an application server.
Creating Process Chains
You have the option of creating a process chain in the process chain maintenance screen directly or by using a maintenance dialog for a process:
Creating a Process Chain Directly in the Process Chain Maintenance Screen
You are in the BW Administrator Workbench.
1. Click on the Process Chain Maintenance icon in the AWB toolbar.
The Process Chain Selection dialog window appears.
2. Choose Create.
3. Enter the technical name and a description of the chain, and confirm your entry.
The Add Start Process dialog window appears.
4. Create a variant for a start process.
1. 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.
2. 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.
3. c. Save your entries, return to the previous screen and confirm your entries in the Add Start Process dialog window.
You are taken to the Plan View of the process chain maintenance screen.
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 the drag-and-drop function to add the relevant processes into your process chain.
You use the Process Types function 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.
Hope this helps

Karthik

Can we stop the process chain in middle of the process ?

hi experts,
Can we stop the process chain in middle of the process after scheduled.
my process chain is like start--->load>psa>ods1-->further updates--->ods2. In this case I have already scheduled but i want to stop the process how can i. After rectifying the error I want to restart again.
if it is possible what are the steps we fallow pl give me step by step procedure.
thanks & regards.
venkat

stopping the process chain is pretty simple. you just need to kill the jobs associated to them as mentioned by other folks.
for restarting, have a look at this blog.
Restarting Processchains
there he explains how to restart a stopped process chain.

Trigger Process Chain from Source System into Target System

Hello...actually in source system BZD, we have a process chain, in the target system BWD, we have another process chain as well. We want to have a process of combining these two process chain together. When the process chain in source system is completed successfully, the system will sent out some sort of signal to start the process chain in BWD. I am not sure how this can be done, I try to use the function module "BP_EVENT_RAISE" in the BZD and when this module is called, it does not start the process chain in BWD after the process chain in BZD is completed. I just wondering am I using the correct method. If will be good if anyone here can help...thanks alot.

Hi Fluffy,
Check RFC connection between the two sysems.
Try using remote process chain process type in the process chain. the fllowing link may help you.

CORUPROC (Process chain for confirmation, collective background processing)

Hello Guru,
Can you please explain me the program CORUPROC (Process chain for confirmation, collective background processing) that can be use in SE38. and how it its important for CO16N (Reprocessing Incorrect Production Order)?
CORUPROC is also the same as CO1P transaction code.
Please explain the use of this program.
Thanks

Hi Carina,
It might take some time for the attribute change run.
what you can do is right click on th running process , go to display messages and check if every thing is fine.
also goto batch monitor from there and see if the job is still running.
alternatively, if you are not sure if the job got strucked up, kill the job from batch monitor and run the attribute change run manually.
you got two options two do now.
1)Wait for some time for the process to complete and check the messages.
2)kill the job and run att change run manually.
i suggest you to go for option 1 and if it is taking too long ar there is any error message, analyze and then go for option 2
hope this helps.
cheers,
Srinath.

Process chain overall status red - single processes green

Hi,
I'm monitoring a process chain in RSPCM. Some of the steps within the chain went red during the run but went green after repeating those steps. But now my overall status of the chain is still red. How can I set the overall status of a process chain without rerunning it? I don't want to set the status of a single process step but the overall status of the process chain as all steps of the chain are green now.
Cheers,
Alex

If you process chain is designed like
Ex: ZABC
Start-->Local Process chain
And assuming if any process failed inside teh local process chain , the entire Local process chain will be in Red, If you want forcefully change this ZABC chain, then
Goto Log view and Docuble click on the Local Process chain>Goto Chain tab>Copy the Variant and Instance
Goto Se11--> RSPCPROCESSLOG >Pass the copied Variant and Instance here and then execute>Copy the Log id from generated table entry
Now got Se37--> rspc_process_finish -->Enter the copied Variant , Instance , Log id , I_Type , I_State ('G' For Sucessfuly completed) and execute. Now the Local process chian will turn to Green and then the entire PC will in turn green(since this chain has only start process and Local process types, where as start process type is already in Green colour)
Or if you chain is designed like
Start>IP>Delete index>DTPCreate index...
Then Copy the variant and instance of the Last process type in the process chain and the same procedure as mentioned above

Creating the New Process Chains in BW System

Hi SDN,
What is the best practice of creating the New Process Chain?
1. Whether to create the Process Chain in BW Development first and trasferring it through transfer request
OR
2. Create directly the Process Chain in the BW Production and schedule it
Please provide the views.........
Kind regards,
Rajesh Giribuwa

hI rAJESH,
Ya,we must create any development in development system and then subsequesntly to test and then production system.
but my exp was differnt in one of my project .
i have developed the pc in dev first and then trasported to test and then prod,
it worked fine in dev and test but in prod it was not running ,due to some system resources.
so i did the change direclty in prod and then it worked .
but it was risk .
hope this is helpful

Transporting Process Chain - error Source system does not exist

Hi,
I tried to transport a local PC by itself (not including its main meta chain) since I have only done modifications in the local PC only. In the PC, there are PSA Processing, ODS Processing, ODS Activation, ABAP Program w/ variants and Infocube Rollup.
However, I got the following transport error: Source system does not exist
=======
Diagnosis
Source system is not known.
System Response
The imported data for DataSource was deleted again because the referenced source system does not exist and no mapping is defined in table RSLOGSYSMAP on an existing productive source system.
Procedure
Create the referenced source system in the Data Warehousing Workbench or define mapping to a known source system in table RSLOGSYSMAP.
You get to maintenance using Tools -> Conversion of the logical system names.
============
I have checked at the table RSLOGSYSMAP and all source system mappings are in order.
And the weird thing is, upon checking the PC itself in the transport-to box, I can activate it without any error.
FYI, we are currently upgrading to BI Accelerator. Am not sure if this could be one of the reasons.
Any inputs and tips are highly appreciated and will be rewarded with points accordingly.
Thanks

Hi,
This error is due to the fact that the
mapping table for the after import (RSLOGSYSMAP) is not correct maintained in PB7 system.
You need to maintain table RSLOGSYSMAP in each system
You can find the steps to do it in the attached note 127326:
o Maintain table 'RSLOGSYSMAP' in the target BW with view
   'V_RSLOGSYSMAP' and enter as 'original source system' the logical name of the source system in the source BW and as 'target source system' the logical name of the source system in the target BW.
   This maintenance is required since it allows the correct source system reference of the InfoSources to be transported.
This source system reference in turn is absolutely necessary to activate the transfer structure.
   Example:
   Source BW with source system AAA.
   Target BW with source system BBB where the source system AAA
   corresponds to the source system BBB.
   Entry in RSLOGSYSMAP in the target BW:
   Original source system: AAA, target source system: BBB.
   Give the DDIC user in the source BW in client 000 the
   authorization profile S_RS_ALL to create BW objects.
Cheers

How to add Abap program in process chain to check the another process chain status and do accordingly

Hello All,
My requirement is related to process chain 1 . I have one process chain in that i have to put abap program in middle of that chain . This program will check the status of one another process chain 2 status ( whether it was completed or it is going on). if it is completed then continue the Process chain 1 to further activity else wait to complete Process chain 2 .
Here i have to use process chain 2 as a parameter.
Kindly provide me solution .
Regards
Saurabh

Hi Saurabh,
You need to create ABAP program in which you check the values for required process chain in
following table
RSPCLOGCHAIN (Feilds ANALYZED_STATUS LOG_ID)
Depend on values you can trigger next process or you can wait unitil this process chain complete.you need to check status from table using ABAP.
If you are not aware about how to write ABAP program then take help from ABAP Team.

Ganesh Bothe

Failed ABAP process in process chain does not trigger subsequent process

Hello,
I have a issue in my process chain with the abap process type.
When this abap process gets failed due to some reason; it is not trigerring subsequent step in the chain.
Any ideas on how it can be solved or any work-around?
I searched the forum and got to know that we can create a copy of abap process type, and can change possible events to
"success or fail".
Please let me know your views on it or if someone has ever encountered similar issue.
Thanks alot for your help,
Anuj

Hi Anuj,
My guess is that you have your the link between the ABAP process type and the subsequent step to trigger on success. You can check this, Go to RSPC -> process chain and check the design. If the link has a green light on it, then it will trigger only on success of the abap process. You need to check with your design and confirm whether this need to be like this, (maybe the abap process is doing something which is required for the subsequent loads??)
If no then you can change the link type to either success of failure and activate the chain. This would resolve your problem.
If you cant change your chain, then i would suggest you correct the failure and then use the program RSPC_PROCESS_FINISH to push the chain further. Just search for this on the forums, there are plenty of blogs/threads on this.
Regards.

Error "Object 'DM' (APCO) of type 'Application' is not available in version 'A'" while transporting process chain to production system.

Hi Gurus,
Whenever I try to transport a process chain ZFI_0FIGL_C10 from dev. to qua. & prod. the error “Object 'DM' (APCO) of type 'Application' is not available in version 'A'” is displayed in the end of creating transport package.
The process chain was created to load data to 0figl_c10 and it works all right on all systems (dev. qua. prod.).
The process chain contains processes for:
- starting the process chain
- executing infopackage (for loading data to 0figl_o10),
- ACR (activate data in 0figl_o10)
- delete index 0figl_c10
- DTP loading data from 0figl_o14 to 0figl_c10
- executing infopackage 80FIGL_O10
- creating index in 0figl_c10
- building DB statistics
- rolling up aggregates in 0figl_c10
- deleting of requests from the changelog 0figl_o10
- deleting of requests from PSA (0fi_gl_10)
How to find what cause that error.
Regards,
Leszek

Hi,
A SAP consultant told me to ignore that error.
Indeed, after creating transport with some new process chains (again I was informed about that error "APCO ...") and transporting it to production everything works all right.
The problem is described in sap note: 883745.

Process chain - Two source system issue

Hi Experts,
I face problem when i transport a process chain from BW DEV to Quality.
I have two source systems in Quality ECI and EXS.EXS is a sandbox server(Source system) which we no longer use.
When i transport the process chain from DEV to QA, i get two DTP's automatically added to Process chain in quality for two source systems ECI and EXS whereas i do not want the data to be loaded from EXS client.
I checked the BW dev system, it has only one DTP in the process chain.
Now I want to elminate the other DTP in the process chain in quality.
Please suggest.
Regards,
Srini

I Dont think so a DTP for EXS system has got created automatically when you transport the PC to QA (which actually doesn't exist in DEV).
Please check you DEV system once again, there might a DTP from EXS system also.. other wise go the Release TR and then check the contents-->iif you find two DTP's there then it is there in the dev system..
Any ways if you want to delete the other DTP from the PC in QA.. you can Delete it directly from the PC itself.. Goto change mode of the PC and then select the DTP which you want to delete-->then right click and hten Click on Remove Process -->then activate the PC..
Note: You might have authorization to edit the PC in QA then only you will be able to do the changes..

Process chain hangs when reaching AND process before Attribute Change Run

Hi Experts,
I have the following problem. For some reason my master data attribute process chain hangs when it reaches the AND process variant right before the Attribute Change Run. It does not go anywhere from that point.
Thank you

hi AG,
if this is hanging daily at the same place without proceeding further, and with out giving the instance for the same. then the better way is to replace that AND process in the chain with the new AND process. and then check and activate ur chain. this wil solve ur problem.
if this is the first time that happend to u, then check the previous load status, if any of the load has failed and u didnt turned the status of the process then also this can happen. So please do check it and act accordingly. If u cannt find the resolution then please run ur changerun manually.
u can use RSPC_PRCESS_FINISH FM to convert the status of any process. for this u need to give instance and variant details. and then if u execute, then chain will continue further.
Hope this will help you.
thanks

BPM Process chain takes long time to process

We have BI7, Netweaver 2004s on Oracle and SUN Solaris
There is a process chain (BPM) which pulls data from the CRM system into BW. The scheduled time to run this chain is 0034 hrs. This chain should ideally complete before / around 0830 Hrs. <b>Now the problem is that every alternate day this chain behaves normally and gets completed well before 0830 hrs but every alternate day this chain fails</b> there are almost 40 chains running daily. Some are event triggered (dependent with each other) or some run in parallel. In this, (BPM) process chain, usually there are 5 requests with 3 Delta and 2 full uploads (Master Data). The delta uploads finishes in 30 minutes without any issues with very few record transfers. The first full upload is from 0034 hrs to approximately 0130 hrs and the 2nd upload is from 0130 hrs to 0230 hrs. Now if the 1st upload gets delayed then the people who are initiating these chains, stop the 2nd full upload and continue it after all the process chains are completed. Now this entire BPM process chain sometimes takes 17 -18 hrs to complete!!!!!
No other loads in CRM or BW when these process chains are running
CRM has background jobs to push IDOCS to BW which run every 2 minutes which runs successfully
Yesterday this chain got completed successfully (well within stipulated time) with over 33,00,000 records transferred but sometimes it has failed to transfer even 12,00,000 records!!
Attaching a zip file, please refer the 21 to 26 Analysis screen shot.doc from the zip file
Within the zip file, attaching Normal timings of daily process chains.xls the name explains it.
Also within the zip file refer BPM Infoprovider and data source screen shot.doc please refer this file as the infopackage (page 2) which was used in the process chain is not displayed later on in page number 6 BUT CHAIN GOT SUCESSFULLY COMPLETED
We have analyzed:--
1)     The PSA data for BPM process chain for past few days
2)     The info providers for BPM process chain for past few days
3)     The ODS entries for BPM process chain for past few days
4)     The point of failure of BPM process chain for past few days
5)     The overall performance of all the process chains for past few days
6)     The number of requests in BW for this process chain
7)     The load on CRM system for past few days when this process chain ran on BW system
As per our analysis, there are couple of things which can be fixed in the BW system:--
1)     The partner agreement (transaction WE20) defined for the partner LS/BP3CLNT475 mentions both message types RSSEND and RSINFO: -- collect IDOCs and pack size = 1 Since the pack size = 1 will generate 1 TRFC call per IDOC, it should be changed to 10 so that less number of TRFCs will be generated thus less overhead for the BW server resulting in the increase in performance
2)     In the definition of destination for the concerned RFC in BW (SM59), the Technical Setting tab says the Load balancing option = No. We are planning to make it Yes
But we believe that though these changes will bring some increase in performance, this is not the root cause of the abnormal behavior of this chain as this chain runs successfully on every alternate day with approximately the same amount of load in it.
I was not able to attach the many screen shots or the info which I had gathered during my analysis. Please advice how do I attach these files
Best Regards,

Hi,
Normally index creation or deletion can take long time in case your database statistics are not updated properly, so can check stat after your data loading is completed and index generation is done, Do creation of database statistics.
Then try to recheck ...
