Error in Mass process chain DP background job for Deinitialize version

Hi,
When I execute the process chain for DP background job to delete the planning area version, it gives error message
"Process DP Background Processing, variant DELETE XXXXXXX has status Ended with errors (instance D973YTQRSF0FRPV5TCR28L"
It is working well, when I tried the same manually with the same input parameters used in background job variant.
What could be the cause for the background job problem.
Thanks and regards
Murugesan

Hi Datta,
I am not deleting the planning version, I am using Macro in the DP background job to delete or make the key figure values to 0.
Thanks and  regards
Murugesan

    How to find process chain using background job in sm37

    Better is to select the job.
    Select (Define) Step (s) or F6.
    Select the line and Menu Goto>Variant.
    The variant contains the name of the CHAIN and its VARIANT.
    Success
    We faced an old job and via job monitoring we were informed about a cancelled job every 'interval'.
    We noticed that the related chain was deleted but still the job was scheduled each interval again and was cancelled because an event was missing
    We could not find the scheduled job via SM37.
    Via view V_OP, view over tbtco abd tbtcp, we find the related entry.
    We delete these entries via function BP_JOB_DELETE....

  • Scheduling of process chain with background job

    Hello All,
                  I have scheduled the process chains through background jobs. I have copied the meta chain and created seven background jobs that is from Monday till sunday. The problem is most frequently the job gets cancelled with the message
    Process CHAIN, variant PAA1_GS001 is not scheduled waiting for event RSPROCESS 44NRPDWZ7CQUJ92ATDTY6368H.
    This is the variant for the next process after the start process. I tried by giving merge active versions, but one day the background job runs fine , but the next day it gets cancelled.
    If anyone has faced this issue before kindly let me know.
    Regards,
    Karthik.

    Hi,
    It seems to be there may be in probelm in Varients, so create a separate Varient for each PC and then activate the PC and execute.
    Thanks

  • Triggering process chain in background

    Hi All,
    Could you please tell me how to trigger a process chain using background job ?
    Thanks,.

    Write a program to achive this based on your condition raise the event using function module.
    BP_EVENT_RAISE
    In the the process chain in the start process in scheduling options-----> use AFTER EVENT.
    To create a event you can in SM62.
    Hope this helps.

  • Background Processing? how schedule job for "System Error" Message .

    Hello everyone,
    in sap help i have read.
    http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/5a/f72040599a8f5ce10000000a155106/frameset.htm
    PCK> Monitoring>Message Monitoring-->Background Processing
    you can schedule jobs for various background processing:
    ●     Archiving of messages processed successfully
    ●     Deletion of messages that are not to be archived
    ●     Restarting of messages with errors
    ●     Rescheduling of lost messages
    can anyone understand this docu?
    give me some introduction, how can i define and schedule these jobs ?
    thx in advance!!
    best regards
    Yaning

    Background Processing
    Prerequisites
    You have started the message monitor on the initial screen of the PCK and are in Background Processing.
    Features
    Archiving
    You require two archiving sessions to archive messages:
    ●     One session to write the messages to the archive
    ●     One session to delete the persisted messages that have been archived
    To do this, you schedule an archiving job, which implicitly schedules the sessions to write to the archive and delete the archived messages.
    You can define one or more rules for each archiving job; these rules contain conditions that a message must meet in order to be archived by the job. At least one of the defined rules must be met for archiving to take place.
    All information that is displayed for a message in message monitoring is archived, in addition to the audit log for each message.
    Deleting
    A standard delete job is created automatically. It runs once a day. You can schedule additional delete jobs; however, you cannot define rules for them.
    Restarting
    Instead of restarting messages with errors manually with message monitoring, you can schedule a job to automatically restart these messages. This is possible for all messages for which the number of defined restart attempts has been exceeded (messages with the system error status).
    You can define one or more rules for each job to restart messages; these rules contain conditions that a message must meet in order to be restarted by the job. At least one of the defined rules must be met for archiving to take place.
    Rescheduling
    A standard job to reschedule messages is created automatically. The job runs once a day and ensures that messages lost as a result of database failure, for example, are rescheduled. You can schedule additional rescheduling jobs; however, you cannot define rules for them.
    Thx Aamir.
    But I mean the messages with errors in Adapter Engine , not in Intergrations Engine.
    the situation is like Naveen Pandrangi's WebLog
    II. Errors in Adapter Engine [XI :  How to Re-Process failed XI Messages Automatically|XI :  How to Re-Process failed XI Messages Automatically]
    I
    Till now we have seen how to resubmit/restart message that failed in Integration Engine.  One a message makes it from Integration Engine to Adapter Engine, the message is flagged as checked in Integration Engine. The status of the message in Adapter engine does not effect the processed state in Integration Engine. Now if this message was asynchronous, XI will by default try to restart the message 3 times at intervals of 5 minutes before the status of the message is changed from Waiting to System Error .
    *how can i schedule a job to automatically restart these messages with errors?
    best regards

  • How to identify what are all the errors appears in process chain,

    Hi all,
    i have a process chain running, but i want to find out what are all the errors that the process chain has thrown
    thanks
    pooja

    Hi Pooja,
    Errors in monitoring:
    SID error
    Reason: If the corresponding master data is missing for the particular transaction data.
             1. Check for the load timing for the respective master data, if it less than an hour  then make the request red and repeat the ip.
             2. If the data is loaded to PSA then you have to delete the request from target and manually push the data to from PSA.
             3. If we are required for selective update then note down the info source from header and find it in RSA1,select the one with ‘Single as postfix’.
             4. Goto ‘data selection’ tab and change the range.
    Tip: change the last 4 digits for from to ‘0000’and the last 4 digit for to     ‘9999’.
            5. Repeat the ip.
             6. In case only of failure in one target goto RSA1 find the PSA, put he request no. and reschedule it.
    Note: IF PSA is present never make the request red rather delete it.
    Replication error
    Reason: Data source replication Failed.
             1. In order to handle this error you should be known to IP, info source and source system.
             2. Goto RSA1, find the data source in the source sys tab.
             3. Right click on the data source and replicate it.
             4. Since all the transformation rules pertaining to this data source need to be reactivated so go to SE38 and execute rs_transtru_activat_all, data source and sys name.
             5. Delete the ‘red’ request from the target.
    Update R not supported
    Reason: The corresponding initialization flag for the ip is lost.
             1. Goto header click on the ip and goto schedule tab and click initialize in the source system, whatever screen appears delete the only request present(the initialization flag).
             2. Goto RSA1, find the ip in the info source (one with the Adhoc initialize flag).
             3. Goto update tab and select ‘Initialize delta process’ try going for ‘with data transfer’.
             4. Reschedule the IP.
    Duplicate Record Error
    Reason: Duplicate error records for the loaded master data.
             1. Goto info package via header or via RSA1.
             2. Goto ‘processing tab’ and change the ip setting, selecting only PSA and ignore duplicate records and re run the ip.
             3. Do remember to change the ip settings back to the original once after the second step.
    ODS activation failure
    Reason: Prerequisites for ODs activation not satisfied i.e. unique key.
             1. Goto ‘maintain variant’.
             2. Check for the ‘QM’ status of the requests in the target they should be green.
             3. Then click the ODS activation tab.
             4. In the screen which appears put the requests for which ODS activation failed.
             5. Activate these and keep on refreshing them until status reverts from green,
    Remember to refresh these requests one at a time.
             6. If requests are red then delete them from target.
             7. Reschedule the IP.
    Note: Never Try activating ODS manually if it is Y1.
    Aggregate Rollup error
    Reason: No aggregate found for the respective rollup.
             1. Click on the variant in which the error occurred.
             2. Goto chain tab and copy the variant and instance.
             3. Run the nestle provided program YBW05.
             4. Put in info in there and put the status as g – ‘green’.
             5. Execute and refresh the status.
    Lock issue
    Reason: The same ip is been locked by other user or may be used by other process chain.
             1. We can see the locked entries and in the transaction SM12.
             2. Wait for the other process to get complete once the ip loads to target in that process then there is no need for running it for the process.
             3. In other case make the request red, when PSA is present then goto environment tab ->schedule->initiate update.
             4. In the box appears select update in the background.
             5. And the manually update the failed IP’s by selecting manual update in the context menu.
    Alfa confirming value error, Time conversion error, Chain didn’t start, Delay due to long running job, Poor system performance,Heirarchy node exist in duplicate.
    Reasons:
      Alfa confirming error: Data format mismatch.
      Time conversion error: Date, time format mismatch.
      Chain didn’t start: A scheduled chain didn’t triggered at the prescribed timing.
    -For all the above error we have to raise a ticket.
    Idoc or TRFC error
    Reason: An Idoc is been stuck somewhere.
             1. Reload the Master Data manually again from Info-package at RSA1.
             2. Release the Idoc.
             3. In the source system level got environment->transaction->Transaction RFC or Data ware housing level.
             4. In the Screen if the status is ‘Transaction Recorded’ it means its stuck goto edit and click Execute LUW or press F6.
             5. If status is ‘Transaction executing’ then it means its fine wait.
             6. Or raise ticket.
    Error Due to short Dump
    Reason: Error due to Short dump could be due to many reasons i.e. memory, table space, lock, error record, page allocation, failed change run.
    Process terminated in the Source system.
               Reason: Sometimes we face that a load has failed due to job Termination at Source System.             
          This happens due to unavailability of the source system or some connectivity problem between source and target systems.
    1.      Make the request red.
    2.      Delete the request from the data target.
    3.      Reschedule the ip.
    4.      If still the job fails raise the ticket.

  • Error handling in process chain-doubts

    Hi ,

    How to correct the process chain from now?
    2) I have  aprocess load infopackeage and subsequent process is Delete request in infocube .process load infopackage got failed  , so i loaded  the IP manually and repeated the next process i.e Delete request in infocube. Chain continued by deleting the right request . How this is possible ?
    Plz  help me  as this is urgent and daily i have to deal with this  issues. If any documents on error handling is greatly appreciated.

    /people/siegfried.szameitat/blog/2006/02/26/restarting-processchains
    Errors in monitoring of process chains can be categorized into 4 different sections...
    Master data - Full Update
    Master data - Delta Update
    Transaction data - Full Update
    Transaction data - Delta Update.. in terms of loading of data which can be due to server shut down or system maintenance... errors due to incorrect entries in the OLTP system in which case you'll have to fix the errors in the PSA and manually load the data...
    Otherwise it can have errors on Attribute change run being locked by some other job... Aggregate Roll up failing because of attribute change run being run at the same time... Problem with hierarchies and save hierarchies...
    There can be problems with the data store activation if the ODS object contains any incorrect request sitting inside it... then, you need to delete the incorrect request and reload the data again...
    In case of Transaction Delta failure, you'll have to request for a repeat either manually in the infopackage or using the repeat option if available on right clicking the load event...
    For Master Data Delta failures, you need to do an Re-init by deleteing the previous initalization condition in the "initalization option for source systems" in the menu scheduler or reschedule the enitre chain... because, master data generally do not support repeat of last delta ...

  • Infopackage loads 0 record in process chain as BG job not running correctly

    Hi Experts,
    I have scheduled a daily process chain for Purchasing.
    The infopackage in the process chain loads 0 records from R/3 and shows green status but data is available in R/3. Its a FULL update.
    But when I load the data manually the infopackage fetchs the record form R/3.
    When I checked the background job in R/3 that loaded 0 records, the job gets finished abruptly without fetchig any data.
    Please find the job log below:

    But the background job for the request when I run the infopackage manually calls a function BW_BTE_CALL_BW204010_E (BTE) and fetches the record from R/3.
    Please find the job log that fetches the record when run manually.

    Hi Prasanth,
    If the background jobs are not availbale when IP is triggered then the BG job will ot be executed and the IDOCs will get struck.
    Once we push the IDOc only the BG job will be executed until then the PC will wait with yellow status.
    Hence this is not the issue with the non availability of BG WP.
    Also for last one week this issue was happening but today the job executed successfully through the Process chain itself.
    Then it shows this is not the issue with PC also.
    The job is executed using RFCUSR.
    Please suggest what would be the possible cause for this issue.

    Indhuja

  • APO DP - BADI for storing forecast error in mass processing

    I am using APO DP V5.
    Does anyone have experience of using the BADI for storing the forecast error in mass processing?
    My questions:
    1. Which BADI is it?
    2. Which forecast errors can it store (eg MAD, MAPE, customer specific errors?)
    3. How does it work - does it store the fcst error(s) in a key figure, or a table?
    Any advice appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Bob Austin, Atos Origin

    Bob,
    Go to SE19 --> create implementation: BADI name /sapapo/sdp_fcst4. give some Z name to implementation. Go to interface tab, select activate_fcst_version method, just write 1 line code inside:
    ev_flag_active = 'X'.
    activate the method, activate the BADI implementation too.
    This BADI records background forecasting errors into these two tables: /sapapo/fcsthead & /sapapo/fcstaccu.
    Rgds,
    SB.
    It stores all of the forecast errors including customer specific errors.

  • Program works but background job for that program fails....

    I have a requirement where I have to collect the details of the purchase order and put the details in XML file format and FTP the XML file to an external third party FTP Server.
    To realize this I developed a report program which follows following logic.
    1)     First I collected the PO details by calling the BAPI BAPI_PO_GETDETAIL1.
    2)     Then using the following link "/people/r.eijpe/blog/2005/11/10/xml-dom-processing-in-abap-part-i--convert-an-abap-table-into-xml-file-using-sap-dom-approach
    I converted these PO details to the XML file format that the third party people accept.
           In the code I used u201CCALL METHOD cl_gui_frontend_services=>gui_downloadu201D and in this process first the XML file is generated and is getting stored on my deskytop.
    3)     Then I called HTTP_SCRAMBLE, FTP_CONNECT, FTP_COMMAND , FTP_DISCONNECT and RFC_CONNECTION_CLOSE.
    This works perfectly well and each time I execute the report the file is getting FTPu2019ed to the third party FTP server.
    Now I tried to schedule a batch job for this and the batch job fails with follwing errors
    02/25/2009 15:08:47 Error in Control Framework
    Message Class  = FES         
    Message Number = 022

    Message Class  = 00        
    Message Number = 564

  • BPM - Background Job for Reorganization = Not Scheduled

    Good afternoon, first of all thank you very much for the support they can provide. I have developed a JDBC interface -> BPM (Multimapping) which works well. Modify a Message Mapping in the BPM that I use for an RFC Lookup, I have added the Configurable Parameters in the BPM and Integration Directory and everything works fine at design time. But when running the interface at run time the message reaches the BPM and the error "error in BPE inbound Permanent processing".
    I have reviewed the Business Process Engine in the RWB and the item is Red Schedule Background Job for Reorganization and detail reads: "Background Job for Reorganization = Not Scheduled".
    As I can solve this problem. Thank you very much.
