FX_RESTATEMENT- automatic process chain

Hello!
Question about package FX_RESTATEMENT.
It is necessary to limit data for a currencies restatment. Example, can I change parameter TIME dynamically for automatically organised chains (through UJD_TEST_PACKAGE)?
Or how it is possible to start the package FX_RESTATEMENT for defined C_DATASRC? File FXTRANS.LGF does not content this dimension as parameter.
Thanks!
Best regards,
Svetlana.

Dear Sweatha,
1 - You have to create a process chain with a start step, error handling step and a step to edit data and then a post step
2 - If error occurs during ILTC, the error handling chain will be started automatically. Data will be stored in the error handling step.
To process the error really you have to go to the error handling monitor and press the continue button. Data will be sent to the edit step. Here you can correct manually the errors.

Error handling -- automatic process chain

Hello Experts,
I need your suggestions.
1) I want to set up the error handling for the ILTC(Intiail load from the trusted client). Do I need to create a process chain to handle errors manually? or will the Process type 'Error handling for ILTC' collects and creates the process chain for the each object type?
2) Say some how the process chain for the error objects has started. How can the error objects be handled automatically ?
Thanks,

To Automate Process Chain Monitoring

Hi All,
Currently we have process chain which extracts data from Informatica system and loads to BW DSO's.
After successfull execution of process chain daily, we download data from PSA, and display only company code, reference key and data packet.
We make a Pivot table in excel sheet to display only company code, refreence key and data packet.
When I plan to automate it, I have a problem. I have all data with PSA table (company code, reference key & data packet).
But I need to display data daily after execution of process chain. So the date is not getting captured with PSA table.
Can you please help me on the same.
Thanks.

I think for displaying the 3 fields on a daily basis, you need to select the request based on date and then filter out the fileds using a select query in your code.

Automate Process Chain

Hi Friendz,
I had faced this question in the Interview, any valuable input would be much appreciated.
The scenario is like,
There are 2 Extractions running in R/3 side, simultaneously in the BW side one transaction load has to start.
1. How to automate the load to start at the BW side at a specific time using Process Chains?
2. The Process chain has to start immediately after the completion of the extraction in the R/3 side.
How will you automate the process?
Thanks in Advance.
Rgds,
JK.

Hi JK,
If the BW process starts after the two R/3/ECC processes end, then you need to make a slight modification to the chain I stated above.
Add your Starter process (this allows you to manually start the chain or schedule it to start automatically), then connect the two ECC/R/3 infopackage processes to your starter process. Then add an "and" step and connect the two ECC infopackages to it -- this will hold all processing up until both ECC processes have successfullycompleted (an "OR" process willl let processing continue when one of the processes successfully completes).
Here's a visual on what I just said:
                                         Starter
                           ECC Proc1     ECC Proc2
                                           AND
                                               |
                                     BW Process

Authorizations setting for running the process chain

Hai
Iam planning to run the process chain for loading the data into ODS. But i dont have authorization for it.
so what are the authorizations i need to run the process chain in my system. And how can i set all those authorizations to my user-id. I have all authorization rights .
Pls let me knw
kumar

Hi,
Authorizations for Process Chains
Use
You use authorization checks in process chain maintenance to lock the process chain, and the processes of the chain, against actions by unauthorized users.
·        You control whether a user is allowed to perform specific activities.
·        You control whether a user is allowed to schedule the processes in a chain.
The authorization check for the processes in a chain runs when the system performs the check. This takes place upon scheduling or during synchronous execution. The check is performed in display mode. The check is performed for each user that schedules the chain; it is not performed for the user who executes the chain. The user who executes the chain is usually the BI background user. The BI background user automatically has the required authorizations for executing all BI process types. In attribute maintenance for the process chain, you can determine the user who is to execute the process chain.
See also: Display/Maintenance of Process Chain Attributes ® Execution User.
Features
For the administration processes that are bundled in a process chain, you require authorization for authorization object S_RS_ADMWB.
To work with process chains, you require authorization for authorization object S_RS_PC. You use this authorization object to determine whether process chains can be displayed, changed or executed, and whether logs can be deleted. You can use the name of the process chain as the basis for the restriction, or restrict authorizations to chains using the application components to which they are assigned.
Display/Maintain Process Chain Attributes
Use
You can display technical attributes, display or create documentation for a process chain, and determine the response of process chains during execution.
Features
You can display or maintain the following attributes for a process chain:
Process Chain ® Attribute ® ...
Information
Description
( Rename)
You can change the name of the process chain.
Display Components
Display components are the evaluation criterion in the process chain maintenance. Assigning the process chains to display components makes it easier to access the chain you want.
To create a new display component, choose Assign Display Components in the input help window and assign a technical name and description for the display component in the Display Grouping dialog box that appears.
Documents
You can create and display documents for a process chain.
For more information, see Documents.
Last Changed By
Displays the technical attributes of the process chain:
·        When it was last changed and who by
·        When it was last activated and who by
·        Object directory entry
Evaluation of Process Status
If you set this indicator, all the incorrect processes in this chain and in the overall status of the run are evaluated as successful; if you have scheduled a successor process upon error or always.
The indicator is relevant when using metachains: Errors in the processes of the subchains can be evaluated as unimportant for the metachain run. The subchain is evaluated as successful, despite errors in such processes of the subchain. If, in the metachain, the successor of the subchain is scheduled upon success, the metachain run continues despite errors in unimportant processes of the subchain.
Mailing and alerting are not affected by this indicator and are still triggered for incorrect processes if they have an upon error successor.
Polling Indicator
With this indicator you can control the response of the main process for distributed processes. Distributed processes, such as the load process, are characterized as having different work processes involved in specific tasks.
With the polling indicator you determine whether the main process needs to be kept until the actual process has ended.
By selecting the indicator:
-         A high level of process security is guaranteed, and
-         External scheduling tools can be provided with the status of the distributed processes.
However, the system uses more resources; and a background process is required.
Monitoring
With the indicator in the dialog box Remove Chain from Automatic Monitoring?, you can specify that a process chain be removed from the automatic monitoring using CCMS.
By default CCMS switches on the automatic process chain monitoring.
For more information about the CCMS context Process Chains, see the section BW Monitor in CCMS.
Alerting
You can send alerts using alert management when errors occur in a process chain.
For more information, see Send Alerts for Process Chains.
Background Server
You can specify here on which server or server group all of the jobs of a chain are scheduled. If you do not make an entry, the background management distributes the jobs between the available servers.
Processing Client
If you use process chains in a client-dependent application, you can determine here in which client the chain is to be used. You can only display, edit, schedule or execute the chain in this client.
If you do not maintain this attribute, you can display, edit, schedule or execute the process chain in all clients.
Process variants of type General Services that are contained in a process chain with this attribute set will only be displayed in the specified client.
This attribute is transported. You can change it by specifying an import client during import. You must create a destination to the client set here in the target system for the import post processing (transaction RSTPRFC) The chain is activated after import and scheduled, if necessary, in this client.
Execution User
In the standard setting a BI background user executes the process chain (BWREMOTE).
You can change the default setting so that you can see the user that executes the process chain and therefore the processes, in the Job Overview. You can select the current dialog user who schedules the process chain job, or specify a different user.
The setting is transported.
The BI background user has all the necessary authorizations to execute all BI process types. Other users must assign themselves these authorizations so that authorization errors do not occur during processing.
Job Priority
You use this attribute to set the job priority for all of the jobs in a process chain.

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.

Schedule the Process Chain automatically in BW

Hi SDN Guru's,
I have an urgent requirement in BW. I want to run the Process Chain automatically in BW when the job for the deltas in R/3 are completed.
I know that in BW we can trigger the process chain by the background job only by giving the date and time or after the event and after the job.
But my requirement is the process chain should automatically be triggered in BW once the R/3 delta job is run and completed and the delta records are updated in RSA7.
Can any body please let me know how we can do this as this is the urgent requirement for me.
Please let me know how and where we need to write the code or make the settings for satisfying my requirement.
Thanks & Regards,
Vamshi Krishna.

HI Vamshi:
Take a look at note 409239.
Thanks for any points you choose to assign (points are the way of saying "thanks" in SDN)

Very Urgent-Pls help*Process chain triggered automatically when transported

Hi All,
We have got some issue.
We have a Process chain, started set to immediate becuase its used in meta chain.
When ever we transport the Chain, its getting triggerred in the Target Client automatically.
We can prevent this, by keeping the process chain starter as "Event Based". But, as its a local process chain, it must be set to Immediate.
Please help.
Cheers,
Nisha

Hi Siggi,
Thanks for this reply.
Scheduling the Local chain to run in future and then changing it after import, i think, is a work around.
Iam sure, there must be some thing to stop this trigger.
And, We have tried Changing the Chains to run Via Meta chain, but, the problem is after the Transport, the local chain can't be triggered on its own using "immediatly". If we try to change it, it'll prompt for a Transport.
Please help.
Cheers,
Nisha

How to automatically modify the Infopackage QM status in a process chain?

We have a process chain that automatically load data to Infocube 0IMFA_1 (The Business Content IM Cube). In this chain we have Infopackage 0CO_OM_OPA_1; this Infopackage has a particularity that remains in a yellow status because it looks for CO orders assigned to IM; if there are orders that aren't assigned to IM, wich is our case, yellow status appears. SAP note 172471 explains the situation and for us the condition that arises the yellow status is not a problem. So we need to turn the status to green in the process chain, but automatically, not manually as suggests the mentioned note. How can I do it? Please help!

I don't know the specific extractor.
With the function and the table you can develop a program that will "modify QM the Infopackage QM status".
Check the status in table and use the function to modify

Reg:process chains could be started manually and automatically

Hi
Each process chain could be started manually and automatically
>If i want to start the process chain manually, how should i start and what are the settings shall i mark

Hello,
PC can be started both manually and automatically.
Every PC has a start variant, when you right click on the start variant and go in the edit option, select the option direct scheduling. Then in change selection, check the box immediate and keep the periodic job at the bottom unchecked.
Hit the tick, save on the other screen. And when back on the PC screen, from the menu option select the schedule option.
This will run the chain manually.
To run it automatically, follow the same procedure but instead of using immediate choose, data and time, provide date and time when you want to run, you can check periodic option if you want the chain to run daily, weekly or monthly.

How to automate selective deletion of ods in process chain

Hi,
How can we automate selective deletion of ods in Process chain. I tried with the proceedure. Using T-code "delete_fact" I gave selection parameters and Name of the program and saved this as variant and gave the same program and variant in Process cahin. But it is not deleting data. So plz guide me whether I have missed anything in this proceedure.

Hi purushottam,
you have to give to program variants in the process chain for data deletion to take place. in the first program variant include the rsdrd_delete_facts as program name and in the program variant give a variant for your infoprovider selection.
Now again select another program variant and include the name of the program which you get after selecting the infoprovider name and the generate selection program option in the "program for deleting selected entries from the data target" screen " and press execute.
again give another variant for your field selection.
now try execute the process chain.

Process chain: how to automatically remove from schedule?

Hi All,
Is there a way to automatically remove a process chain from schedule when it has failed?
Thanks,
Natalie

I guess the easiest way is to access RSPC transaction and then remove it from schedule.
--> execution tab --> remove from schedule.
you can leave the process chain not active also, if it's triggered by an event, this event will not start it (if you dont want to delete or change trigger job)

Process Chain Triggered automatically when transported to test system

Hi All,
We modified several process chain and transported the process chain to Test system.
Few Process chain triggered automatically as the varient was set to immediate in development system.
Now we want to move the process chain to production. Do we need
1. new transport request with the variant to future date and discard the transport request which created issues
2. New transport request with the variant to future date and transport the new along with the old transport to production system
3. Change the start date in Test system and transport the same request to production
Kindly advice me on the action to be taken.

Regarding 2: When the old transport is imported into production the start will be set to immediately and the process chain will execute. You should not use this option.
Regarding 3: Changing in Test system will not affect the content of the transport, it will still be the same as released from Dev.
We have avoided this annoying problem with process chains being executed when transports are imported by creating a "parent" process chain that simply triggers the process chain in question. This "parent" chain should not be transported. You then set the start option for the original process chain to "start by API/Event" then you can transport the original process chain whenever you want without any risk of the process chain being executed.

Lars
