Email to be sent on execution of Process chain

Hi,
I have a requirement as follows.
On successful execution of process chain an email must be sent to a group of users.
I have made a distribution list using Tcode SO23 and included the message in the last step of process chain. But no messsge is being sent even on successful execution of process chain.
Can anyone throw light on this?
Regards,
Manisha

Hi Manisha,
You can create the Message alert for process chain as follows.
     1. Goto change mode of Process Chain
     2. Right click on the particular Process step/Process chain and choose Create Message.
     3. Choose the Actions (Sucessful / Failure/Always) for which you want to aler the users
     4. Choose the New variant and define the Variant Name and Message header and enter
     5. Create the message and the save the variant and activate the process chain.
Once you triggere the process chain, according the message typr, the users will be alerted.

Program is not sending emails if I run it within the process chain

Hi All,
I am facing a weird issue; I have an ABAP program which compares tables and sends the results in an email. It is working fine if I run it standalone. However, if I run it within the process chain it still runs but doesn't send the email.
Any idea on how to troubleshoot this?
Thanks

maybe because it's ran under a different user (ALEREMOTE)?
the user that executes the "mail" needs a valid emailaddress to be able to send...

Sending an Alert e-mail on execution of process chain containing ATTACHMENT

Hi Experts,
Need your help on the following,
We have a scenario where system must send an e-mail to the recipients, on the exection of a Process in the Process Chain.
This mail should contain a specific text file from SAP-Directory(AL11) as ATTACHMENT or the content of file should be directly read in to the mail, anything will work.

To send an Alert e-mail when the process chain is executed
you need to create a message setting while creating the process chain.
Suppose you want to send a mail after execution of DTP
then just do the following
right click on the DTP process in the chain and you will get a option to create message.
you'll be asked when on what condition you want to send message 1Success 2 error 3always. select as per you r requirement
select that option and a new window will appear
in the new window press Reciepent button and add recipients of the mail as per you requiremnt
press back button and save, then press create message button
here you can enter the text you want to send, other then that message wil send the status and number od records added and transfered , by default.
hope this solves your problem ..:)

Issue with ABAP program execution from process chains

Hi All:
We have a process chain with 3 steps, each of them executing the same program with three different variants. The program is ftp's the file from APO's dataexchange (mount) to another ftp server. The first variant transfers file A to a directory in the external ftp server (say /X) . The second and the third variants are supposed to transfer different files, B and C to the same directory.
That is where the problem is. After the process chain is successful, I see two files B and C but the contents are same and that of C. So, if I switch the steps in the PC to bring in A then C and then B, I see files B and C with content of C. I tried C then A then B. I see the file names correct but now the contents are A, A then B.
Have any of you come across this issue? Do you know that these is an existing problem? IF you have a solution, pl. let me know.
Thanks
Narayanan

Narayanan,
Instead of doing it in three steps - would it be possible for you to have one UNIX script or equivalent doing the above and calling the same from your process chain ...?
We do a lot of FTPs but then our file names are standard and we have a UNIX script for the same executed using a system command through a process chain and it has been working without issues for the past 1 year ...
Maybe I have not got your situation properly ... some more detail on the program details and what you are doing in more detail would help.... also SP levels please..

Error in execution of process chains

Hi All,
when i am trying to excute a process chain, i am facing follwoing error:
1) My chains contains a ODS with its infopakage so data is flowing form infopakage to ods and get activated.
2) delete index is executed at cube level. and gets updated through DTP
Here is the errror message its thorughing
"Job BI_PROCESS_DROPINDEX could not be scheduled. Termination with returncode 8"
Please give me useful tips to execute the chain. Points will be awarded for the useful points,.
Thanks a lot
Narendra

Hi,
yes, the user should be set with type 'system'.
Just use the following path:
SU01-> USER(ALE REMOTE)->LOGON DATA->USER TYPE-> SYSTEM.
This user type may not execute or start any batch jobs, irrespective of the user authorizations.
Solution
Set the type of background user to
"Background" up to 4.6B
"System" as of 4.6C
This user type corresponds to the "Communication" type and may also perform background functions

How to put system info. in error mess. sent by email through process chains

When I get an error message by email from the process chain saying that the process bombed, it does not tell me from which SAP system the problem occured? (Whether Dev or QA or Prod). Is there a way to put the SAP system in the email along with the error from the process chain?
Thanks
Ram

Hi Akshay,
I am in version 3.5. I believe you can do it in 7. We have a standard user id called ALEREMOTE coming from all 3 systems. We would ideally like the message to say ALEREMOTE - (the error message with DEV specified), ALEREMOTE - (the error message with QA specified) and ALEREMOTE - (the error message with PRD specified).
Thanks

Triggering Process chain based on execution of R3 job and Process Chain

Hi All,
I need your help in arriving at a solution for a reqirement.
Scenario is., I need to trigger a process chain B based on successful execution of Process chain A and an R3 job. If both conditions(Completion of R3 job and Process Chain A) are met then only it has to trigger process Chain B.
I know that we can use events to trigger a process chain using R3 job.But my case is differenet I need to consider the success message from both process chain and R3 job.Is there any way to solve it ?
Please provide me with your valuable inputs.
Thanks,
Bindu

Hi Hima,
You can use the 'AND' variant for both, If both are success then trigger the process chain.

Process Chain remote execution locks up (All Dialog Processes used up)

Hi,
We have the following task at hand. We kick in BW process chain execution via RFC from our R/3 system using the function described below. What happens is that the process chain does get kicked in the remote BW system, but it quickly locks up. System monitor says that all dialog process have been utilized. So, basically it gets stuck in the beginning of the process chain. Is there anything I can do to prevent this from happening?
Here is the function call:
This function triggers execution of process chain
(on the remote BW system)
CALL FUNCTION 'RSPC_API_CHAIN_START' DESTINATION p_rdest
    EXPORTING
      i_chain             = p_pchain
I_T_VARIABLES       =
      i_synchronous       = 'X'
I_SIMULATE          =
I_NOPLAN            =
    IMPORTING
      E_LOGID             = gv_pchain_logid
    EXCEPTIONS
     failed              = 1
     OTHERS              = 2
Thank you,

How many work process did you configured in SOLMAN, what is the action that CSMUSER is busy with?
I think CSMREG is a communicatino user to satellite agents and check the RZ21--> AGENT status.

Thanks
Praveen

Hi Praveen,
Please follow the below steps
Would like to share this information regarding email alerts whenerrors occur in Process Chains.Step by step process to follow:
1. go to ALRTCATDEF
2. select classification "Process Chains"
3. click on display/change
4. double-click on "error in a process of a process chain"
5. click on "fixed recipients"
6. write in your username (you have to maintain your e-mail address in SU01 for that to work)
7. save
8. go to your process chain (rspc)
9. go into edit mode
10. from the menu, select Process chain -> attributes -> alerting
11. check "send alerts if errors occur"

Error catching in process chains

Hi experts
I need to know if it's possile to catch errors while executing a process chain;
actually if one of my process chains fails, it brutally stops without reaching the last process that resets some flags and sends an email to the client. Instead of this behaviour, I would like that after any error the process chain resumes directly the last process that sends the email.
thank you in advance

Francesco

Usually if any failure in the process chain, it stops at that point and won't reach to the last process to execute the email variant. If we didn't get email means that some problem within the process chain. So all process variants will get connected only with if successful option. I think, this is how it works. Am not sure how the PC ending up with sending some email to the client as you mentioned. Check the connectors.
I don't think so we can catch the error the way you mentioned within process chain. Probably you can think of calling the PC through ABAP program with all your custom options.
Thanks

Process chain to trigger automatically after file arrives in AL11.

Hi All,
There is a text file(.txt) which comes from mainframes team every Sunday between 11 AM to 6 PM and gets placed in AL11 inbound directory following which we manually trigger a process chain which uses this file.
The requirement is that this chain should trigger automatically after the file arrives in AL11 in BW.
Is it necessary for the mainframe team to send another control file or some other file in addition to the text file to trigger this process chain..?
Is there any other way the process chain can be triggered in BW without any changes required from the mainframe team.
Additional information:
Also I came to know that this can happen through some system command statements using SM49 we can schedule this chain.
Else can some ABAP Program code be used to make this process automatic?
Please help me.

Hi,
You can do the following, in your process chain change the start variant and make it event dependent. Now you can do the following,
1) Create a table in SE11 which will have fields like Process chain name and execution date as primary fields. This table will be used further for checking purpose.
2) Now create a ABAP program as shown in below given article, in this program in addition to raising an event you will have to read the file from app server.
3) If program can read file from app server means you will raise an event and make entry in above table for preventing further execution of process chain. If program can't read file from app server then program will simply end without doing anything.
4) Now you can schedule this program after every hour or 30 min. as per your requirement, the program will first check if the process chain execution entry exists in the above 'Z' table or not. If entry exists means the process chain has been already executed and the program will be terminated.
5) You can use FM to read data from app server. You need to be careful while placing file on app server, because it has to be different naming convention or something else to identify that the current day file is available.

List of Info Objects used in a process chain

Hi,
I have a master data process chain and in that process chain, close to about 50 Info objects are included. Rather than checking manually, I would like to know if there is any automated way to get the list of info objects used in a process chain.
Please let me know if there is any table that gives this information.
Thanks & Regards.

Send Message Process prompting for "Process Chain to Check"

Hi, When I insert a "Send Message" Process into my chain I do get prompted to select the message.
1. When I do a pull down I am getting prompted for "Process Chain to Check".
If I select my current process chain I get an abend.
2. When I click create instead of select I get brought to a table maint "Controls the execution of Process Chains". It has process chain, Start Date, Start time, and an inactive checkbox.
Any guesses why it's asking for "Process Chain to Check"?
What is this maintenence table I'm being brought to just to create a message.
Sounds Like I've run into a bug?????
Can you help???

Found out this must be related to development from a previous consultant..
thanks

Failure of infopackage step in process chain - Error in source system.

Hello Experts,
We are experiencing this during the execution of process chain.
All the step for data loads within BW(DSO to DSO, DSO to cube) are failing with error -
- Error in source system
- Error during data selection
Please note that we are 3.5 data flow and thus, data load within BW is through emulated data source and the infopackage. Steps running such infopackages for emulated data source are failing in process chain with error above.
Surprisingly, when I run the infopackage manually out of process chain it runs successful without any error. But when I run through process chain it fails.
Any clue or suggestion? We have already tried doing re-initialization for infopackage.
Appreciate your inputs.
Regards,
PK.

Hi,
When we run data loads thru process chain it will run in background. as per the available background application servers your request will be processed.
as my your during your load time server will be on high load.
please check your system busy schedule and schedule your process chains.
Check Tx - SM50, if you have less application servers, then ask basis to create few more to application servers to process the request at busiest time.
check about increasing parallel processing and default data transfer settings.
go to info package---> menu scheduler--> data settings for default data transfer.
Thanks
