DP process implemented as process chain or jobs

Hello sapiers:
I would like to get some examples of how to define PC for DP process like CVC creation, Forecast calculation, snp release.
I know these are new functionalities but dont know if incopatible with ver 3.5 (that I am using) or the difference (adv/disadv) to define them simply as jobs
please if possible email me to [email protected]

Hi,
What is the scheduling option that you have selected in the start variant of your process chain? If the chain has been successfully scheduled then you can see that in t-code SM37 under your id, the job for process chain should show as scheduled. If you cannot see anything there then please maintain the start variant properly and rechedule the process chain.

Process Chain background jobs

Hi All,
we got a typical issue in Process Chain, every day process chain triggers in the midnight, and yesterday morning It got failed while activating DSO for HR data, and we observed that the jobs are running in the background for longer time (there are 3 jobs related to HR still running since around 24 hours). In order to run the following processes which are no way related to HR, we made turning red to Finish (to skip this process - using Function module RSPC_PROCESS_FINISH) to make sure other reports work perfectly. yesterday PC ran successful expect HR data.
Today morning we observed that the jobs are still running and also PC gets stopped in deleting contents of HR (after this we are loading HR DSO) . the process neither failed nor success. we checked in Sm37 and observed that job related to Delete content of HR data is also still running and in active status.
it is not allowing us to skip the process as we did for the HR DSO. So we thought to kill the job and Killed the JOB of delete content of HR data, and tried refreshing in Process Chain. But the variant is empty now and process stopped at before the Delete contents (which are another deleting cubes) now the process is at delete contents of CUbe (which is before step to the delete HR DSO), if we right click and check the options it is showing display variant and display messages.
We repeated the Process chain again it stopped at delete content HR DSO(back ground job running again and running longer time), the process is at delete contents DSO HR, (showing the box half filled).
how to skip this delete contents of HR data DSO, because we don't want to stop all the following processes(which are not related to HR) and how to make my PC ran successful (expect HR) to make my report working perfectly expect HR reports
Thanks in advance,
Teena

Thank you for the reply,
Yes we can create PC for HR seperately.
Presently the thing is yesterday we din't loaded the HR data (as we skipped the process by forcefully finished the process using FM -RSPC_PROCESS_FINISH) , As the jobs are still running morethan 26 hours. Now DSO HR doesn't have any data, but the process has been stopped at the deleting the content of HR data (our assumption since the HR loading jobs running longertime causing this, job delete content HR is also active and running (while loading it is trying to delete it, so it might be locked)
But we need to skip the process of HR delete content now, inorder to run other process successful, (we can create other HR PC later) but can you suggest the solution for now.
Thank you,

Scheduling Process Chains through Jobs

Hi All,
I have a question regarding scheduling of process chains using Jobs created in SM36.
In our project we are not using Meta Chains to run the individual Process Chains.
Instead jobs have been created for each chain and the jobs are scheduled one after another and dependencies are maintained (e.g. Job A depends on Job B)
However, on scheduling, we find that even before Job B completes Job A gets triggered and both the Process Chains start running in parallel instead of waiting for the completion of the first Chain.
Any solution for this ??
Thanks
Sam

Hi,
I can suggest one method using Events...
Start
 |
 Load-Cube A
 |
 After Success raise Event (This is Event Program, you need to insert)
After Event the dependent Process Chain will trigger
Start
 |
 Load-Cube B
 |
 After Success raise Event (This is Event Program, you need to insert) -->If you need
Create Events in SM64 and use in below Program..see the sample code.
REPORT ZE_SIT_RP.
DATA: EVENTID LIKE TBTCJOB-EVENTID.
DATA: EVENTPARM LIKE TBTCJOB-EVENTPARM.
EVENTID = 'ZE_SIT'.
EVENTPARM = 'ZEP_SIT'.
CALL FUNCTION 'RSSM_EVENT_RAISE'
EXPORTING
 I_EVENTID = EVENTID
 I_EVENTPARM = EVENTPARM
* EXCEPTIONS
* BAD_EVENTID = 1
* EVENTID_DOES_NOT_EXIST = 2
* EVENTID_MISSING = 3
* RAISE_FAILED = 4
* OTHERS = 5
IF SY-SUBRC <> 0.
* MESSAGE ID SY-MSGID TYPE SY-MSGTY NUMBER SY-MSGNO
* WITH SY-MSGV1 SY-MSGV2 SY-MSGV3 SY-MSGV4.
ENDIF.

Process Types in Process Chains - Loading - Repeatable/repairable

Hi,
I know SAP recommends that we do not change the properties of the Process Types for Process Chains. I want to know if any one has ever changed the property of "LOADING" process type to "repeatable" or "repairable". We are keen to change this attribute of "LOADING" process to repeatable. Any experiences, good or bad, would be highly useful to us to take a decision and would be highly appreciated.
regards
Uday

Hi Simon,
So far, I have not come across any documents that explain the difference between the two options. But, I believe the 'repairable" would start from where it has stopped in the program calles, while "repeatable" will restart the current job (not the whole process chain) from the start. Please remember to post it here, if you ever come across any documentation on these options.

How to include an APD process in BW Process Chain

HI,
I have an existing process chain that I want to add an APD process to. There are dependencies. For example, I want the last 2 steps in the existing process chain to continue AFTER the APD process runs successfully. So, how would I include an APD process in my existing chain, I cannot find the variant that says APD in RSPC.

Marasa,
Thanks for your help. I tried to do the second option that you offered just by including an ABAP program variant in my process chain.
However, my process chain fails at that step with tthe following error:
11/11/2009     00:09:53     Job started     S     00     516
11/11/2009     00:09:53     Step 001 started (program RSPROCESS, variant &0000000432745, user ID BWREMOTE)     S     00     550
11/11/2009     00:10:00     Spool request (number 0000031418) created without immediate output     S     SY     355
11/11/2009     00:10:00     Processing completed with errors. See spool list     E     RSAN_PR     22
11/11/2009     00:10:00     Job cancelled after system exception ERROR_MESSAGE     A     00     564
I cannot find anything in the spool to get the exact cause of an error. When I run the APD process by itselt, it executes fine without any errors.
I used the following sap document to set this up in my process chain and followed everything they said:

What are process types in process chain

hi any one tell me what are process types in Process chains

Hi,
In 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.
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.
If you insert into the chain a process that is linked to additional processes, 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 if required.
Only if the attribute realignment run is inserted automatically, do you also arrive at the variant maintenance screen.
If you want to specify yourself the processes that are to be included in a chain, choose Settings ® Default Chains, and select the Do Not Suggest Processes option. As a result, the system does not suggest, generate, or insert automatically any processes into the chain. This setting is user-specific.
If the chain that you create does not correspond to the standard, the system displays a warning. You can ignore these warnings if you are sure that you are creating a chain that meets your requirements. Warnings do not affect how the chain operates during runtime.
Your chain is checked in the checking view and during activation. The system tells you if it discovers any errors.
Creating a Process Chain Using the Maintenance Dialog for a Process
You are in the maintenance dialog of a process that you want to include in a process chain.
1. Choose the Process Chain Maintenance pushbutton and create a process variant.
2. Save the variant and go back to the previous screen.
A dialog window appears in which you enter a technical name and a description of the chain that you want to create.
3. Confirm your entries.
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.
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, 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 if required.
Only if the attribute realignment run is inserted automatically, do you also arrive at the variant maintenance screen.
If you want to specify yourself the processes that are to be included in a chain, choose Settings ® Default Chains, and select the Do Not Suggest Processes option. As a result, the system does not suggest, generate, or insert automatically any processes into the chain. This setting is user-specific.
If the chain that you create does not correspond to the standard, the system displays a warning. You can ignore these warnings if you are sure that you are creating a chain that meets your requirements. Warnings do not affect how the chain operates during runtime.
Your chain is checked in the checking view and during activation. The system tells you if it discovers any errors.
5. Use the drag-and-drop function to insert any additional 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.
Additional Steps to Creating a Process Chain
6. When you add a process, you need to select a process variant or create a new variant. For collection processes, the system determines the variants.
Various functions for working with the process are available from the context menu:
Context Menu Entry for a Process Function Information
Maintain Variants With the exception of the variants in the collection process, you can use this function to change all process variants.
Exchange Variants You can swap the variants for an existing variant or a new variant.
Display Scheduled Jobs Once the process chain is active, you can use this function to display the jobs that have been scheduled.
Display All Jobs After at least one run of the process chain, you can display, for a specific process, all of the scheduled jobs for this process and all of the jobs with which this process was run. You arrive at the job overview from where you call up 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. 1. From the context menu of a process, create an additional process variant of the Send Message type.
2. 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. 3. You arrive at a window, in which you can select an existing process variant or create a new one.
4. 4. If you create a new process variant, edit the document that is going to be sent, and maintain a list of recipients.
5. 5. Save your process variant and go back a step.
The message process variant is now assigned to your application process. When the message is sent, the status information and the process log can also be sent.
Wait Time
You use this function only 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 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 in connection with the following types of process variants
1. constructing indexes
2. deleting indexes
3. constructing database statistics
4. rolling up filled aggregates
5. compressing InfoCubes
6. activating ODS object data
to call up the administration for each of the data targets.
7. Hold down the left mouse button to connect the processes through 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 again. To do this, highlight 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.
9. Under Attributes ®Display Components assign a display component to the process chain.
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.
12. Save your process chain if it does not contain any errors.
Result
Your process chain can be activated. After activation, 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 activation. In the Log View, you can display the reports for the chain runs.
Hope it helps.

Amith

Mark a Process Red in Process Chain

Hello,
There is an ABAP Process in my process chain which triggers a background job in R/3(asynchronous).
After successful completion of job I mark the process as success thru RFC from R/3 using FM RSPC_ABAP_FINISH
But suppose if my background job in R/3 Fails, it remains in yellow in BW (as RSPC_ABAP_FINISH dosen't get triggered)
So if my bgd job fails I want to make the process red in BW, how can this be done.
Is there any FM to mark a process RED as RSPC_ABAP_Finish is to make a process green?
Thank You
Dutta

Hi Folks,
I set up the "error path" with a repeat step. However, the error path is not executed.
The system always notifies a Termination but the process step (ABAP) in the process chain did not get this status...
The analysis of chain ZXY showed that
process Z_ABAP SEL_DEL1 was cancelled.
However, the process has a metachain or successors that
should be executed when there are errors. Run
4ND9Q5ZEDUMN61SPC043FDBTN did not finish due to termination.
If a metachain exists, it was not informed about the error.
Should run of chain ZDEL and possible
metachain be continued
Is this a system setting? Or what is going on? The chain where the error path is setup is called by another chain.
Thanks and best regards,
Axel

How to reset an failed asynchron abap-process in a process-chain?

Hi specialists,
I've got a process-chain which triggers (as one of its steps) an abap-program.
The program should run asychroniously, so the process-chain waits until the programm reports its ending.
When the abap-program fails/crashes/dumps, then the endings is never reported and the process-chain gets stuck.
If I try to re-run that process-chain, it fails again with the message "Variant XYZ still executing from previous run".
What I already found so far is the following note:
The process chain management will not know if your program terminates!
Thus if you re-start the chain, this will also terminate, because the old run would not have finished yet. To avoid this, you need to manually set the process in the chain log view in the process monitor to terminate before you start again.
My problem: I cannot find any possibility to set the process to "terminate" in the chain's log view.
Could you please gimme a hint where I can find that option?
Best regards,
Marco

Hi,
You can remove the process chain from scheduling before staring the process chain again.
Also can edit the entries in RSPROCESSLOG table before running the process chain.
Alternatively you can create a custom ABAP process type which handles the success as well as fail cases.
Refer : [How To- Trigger subsequent processes in a Process Chain based on the Success or Failure of ABAP program|/people/balaji.venugopal/blog/2009/04/07/how-to-trigger-subsequent-processes-in-a-process-chain-based-on-the-success-or-failure-of-abap-program]
Hope this helps,

Process dependencies in process chain

Hi All,
in one of my process chain i have at the end :
delte index -> Load DTP -> Create index -> Compress cube ->generate db stats
but system is showing this warning
A type "Construct Database Statistics" process cannot follow process "Compression of the InfoCube"
and in table RSPCTYPESDEP i an entry stating that :
generate db stats after a compression of cube "makes no sense but not completely wrong".
can you explain why generate db stats after compress make no sense ?
Regards.

Hi Anns,
It is always recommended to keep the create DB stats before compression.The advantage of the DB stats is to improve the query performance as well as loading performance.
check the below links for more information

Parallel Process in a Process chain design

Hi
BAsed on what factors can we make a decision on How many parallel data loads (process) we can include while designing a Process chains
Thanks

Hi Maxi,
There is no hard and fast rule for that, for trial purpose you can add specific no. of parallel processes and schedule the chain, if there are not enough background processes available to fulfill your request then SAP will give you warning there you can see how many processes are available.
But if you go for maximum parallel process then it actually depends on how many processes are available at the time of process chain scheduling. Though your server have enough process but if they are utilized by other processes then still you will get warning while executing process chain.
So just check in your server how many background processes are there and then take some optimum decision.
Regards,
Durgesh.

How to create process variant in process chain

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.
Hope it Helps
