Error Warning MSG in Process Chain

Question

Hi PPl,
       I created a PC which loads from APO into ODS and then into an INFOCUBE. But when i check the PC it says the following error msg.
A type "Update ODS Object Data (Further Update)" process cannot precede process "Execute InfoPackage" var. ZPAK_3YOW9HXWVCZ6BVZO.
Also when i schedule the PC it works fine till ODS activation but then it doesn't work from there. Please help me withthis issue. Thank u
Shiv

Hello,
U have placed the (update cube from ODS) step before an infopackage step in the process chain.That is why it is not working.
Once the ODS activation is happening,the wrong sequence of steps is causing the chain to get stuck.
Please reorganize your chain as follows..
Steps should be in order..
-Start variant.
-Load data from APO to PSA(execute infopackage step)
-Update from PSA to ODS(read PSA and update data target step)
-ODS activation step
-Drop indexes on the cube.
-Delta update infopackage step for update from ODS to Cube(use infopackage step or use the 'update ODS object data(further update)' step..I think u can use one of the 2 processes..I have used the infopackage process)
-create indexes step
-build DB statistics step
(U do not need update from PSA step while updating data from ODS to Cube,as data loading when source system is myself BW system,is not done through PSA..usually).
hope it helps to solve the problem.
cheers,
