Help! about process chain execution status

hi:
we nearly have one problem about the process chain execution status,
when error occured during process chian execution, we fixed it in time,
however, even the error repaired, its status still showed yellow, and this
stop the subsequent process to excute.
Any body who can provide some help to solve this problem? thanks in advance
and looking forward to one reply.

Hi ,
Try this method
Open the messages of a failed step by right clicking on it and selecting 'display messages'.
In the opened popup click on the tab 'Chain'.
In a parallel session goto transaction se16 for table rspcprocesslog and display the entries with the following selections:
1. copy the variant from the popup to the variante of table rspcprocesslog
2. copy the instance from the popup to the instance of table rspcprocesslog
3. copy the start date from the popup to the batchdate of table rspcprocesslog
Press F8 to display the entries of table rspcprocesslog.
Now open another session and goto transaction se37. Enter RSPC_PROCESS_FINISH as the name of the function module and run the fm in test mode.
Now copy the entries of table rspcprocesslog to the input parameters of the function module like
described as follows:
1. rspcprocesslog-log_id -> i_logid
2. rspcprocesslog-type -> i_type
3. rspcprocesslog-variante -> i_variant
4. rspcprocesslog-instance -> i_instance
5. enter 'G' for parameter i_state (sets the status to green).
Now press F8 to run the fm.
Now the actual process will be set to green and the following process in the chain will be started and the chain can run to the end.

Ravi

About process chain issue

Dear BW Expert,
We have argument about PC load data by manual
For the first time, I have change data selection in infopackage, then save and run the Process chain.
When my PC not running finish, the one colleague have change data selection of infopacakge, he also run that PC, at the moment, the BW System prompt:
Remove Pocess Chain from scheduling:
Last process chain run is still active
If you continue, this run will be terminated
The button are u201Ccontinueu201D & u201CCancelu201D
We have argument as following:
I think that if I click u201CConinueu201D, My PC will be terminated, my extract data will failure. Run PC like Run SM36 job. when PC run finish, my log status is RED, him log status is GREEN. Because is refresh workbook, we canu2019t directly see the data change.
he think that if Click u201CContinueu201D, My PC will be not terminated. my extract data will not faiure.
My process chain will be included him PC. He said, as long as him pc run successful, my also success. PC have change log technology, I canu2019t understand.
If so, But why my log status is RED, she log status is GREEN? Whom view is right?
Many Thanks,
Best Regards
Steve

If you will activate the process chain when it is running then the process chain execution will terminate and the status of the chain will be red.
So it is never advised to change a process chain object while it is running.
You can check the data in objects, whether it has been loaded properly.

Avoid Livecache Lock during process chain execution

Hi All
I have a situation where the DP planners in Asia geographies have a lockout in planning books due to process chain exceutions in US evening time.
Have you come across any such situation where lock out due to process chain execution can be removed/reduced
It will be really helpful if you can provide some inputs on this

Hi Vijay,
Probably you have a program to lock all users. You can contact your ABAP team, to change the code, so that the user group maintained in a table (Z) to be excluded out of locking.
We have this type of program in our project, but your code might be different from ours.
Let me know if you want further information...though I cannot share the entire code with you.

How to stop the process chain showing status as yellow but no process step

Dear Friends,
How to stop the process chain showing status as yellow but no process step is running in that process chain.
We have manually triggered the process chain for sales it finished successfully till load data but the next step is create index and DB statistics. Both of this steps are in unscheduled position only and no background job for this.
Please guide me.
Thanking you in advance.

Hi,
At times even I have faced this situation. During those times, running the Function module RSPC_PROCESS_FINISH by passing the right parameters came to my rescue.

Process chain execution error

Hi Experts,
I used to run Process chain on daily basis.During Process chain execution time ,R/3 server was down as a result Process chain is not executed at initial stage itself as a result i got yellow color symbol at one process(Infopackage-delta load).
I triggered that process by FM RSPC_PROCESS_FINISH as a result all the successive Processes executed successfully except triggered Process(InfoPackage).
One of the Expert suggested me to check job ,TRFCS which i failed to trace.
The Process(Infopackage-deltaload) which is in yellow color later turn into Red color.
Now I trigger process chain by "Repair" option as result i got duplicate at that process which is very common apart from that i got duplicates in all successive processes also. Lets say that A and B are successive Processes where as A1 and B1 are duplicates
A A1
B B1
After second successful Process chain execution including Infopackage i found links between A and B,A1 and B1.
Apart from this i found cross link(X) between the above links.
I checked records in all DSO in Process chain which contains two records with numbers in both records at that day where as infopackage containing two records one with red color symbol and other with number.
My question is as infopackage is deltaload is there any effect in getting duplicates in successive processes as they are executed two times in a day.
Thanks&Regards,
narasimha.

Hi Narasimha,
If the Infopackage is set to Delta then there is no chance of getting duplicate records, Delta will bring only the changed/New records. if you have any dought you can check the data in PSA level...

How to follow process chain execution history

Hello All;
I need to follow all process chain execution history, is there any way to follow a process chain execution for example over a week ?
Example :
Day 1 PC failes
Day 2 PC success
Day 3 ...
Day 4 ...
Day 5 ...

Go to tcode RSPC and open your process chain and select log view icon .
check the logs as follows

Error in Process chain execution.

Pls, i'm getting the following error with my process chain.
Error TEXT : *************** From HERE ***********
WARNING 914 *** EEWO0914W An internal error has occurred. Either the joblog or the job protocol for the following job does not exist:
Job name: !1
Job ID: !2.
+++ EEWO1016I The Process Chain has been stopped:
Error Text : *************** Till HERE ***********
What is process chain doing : The process loads data from legacy (oracle db) into ODS and then splits data into 2 cubes, with ODS activation, drop indexes, create indexes, delete PSA at proper places. The PC is called from a maestro job (TWS Agent : Tivoli Work Scheduler agent). The TWSA simply calls the PC with no processing at it's end.
Fyi, When i look at the BW logs, the PC is a success (green), with all data loaded successfully. In the last step of the PC, i'm creating a txt file (0 byte file) on the server. Even this file is created with correct time stamp (as per log).
However the TWS reports back the above mentioned error.
The last message, just before the error is :
07/24/2010 17/46/37 RSM1 797Start InfoPackage ZPAK_3XYD134H7BSESPB0MRTCGHNOE
For the past few loadings, this behaviour has been consistent. Could anybody give some lead on this.
Regards,
Nagendra.

Hi,
Please implement the following two notes to your system:
1460640 Correction: Synchronous run turns red during log refresh
1396417 Correction: Status "Red" if request does not exist yet
As the execution of the chain goes well on the backend, and the issue
is only reported by the 3rd party program, please get in contact with
the supplier of the TWS. Normally the external schedulers like uc4 using the
rspc_api_chain_start to start the process chains, and the function
module RSPC_API_CHAIN_GET_STATUS to receive the current status
information about the corresponding runs.
Thanks & Regards,
Vipin

Regars, \

Yes, as rightly said you need to run the previous delta before updating new records in the latest request. If possible de-schedule the chains for a while, delete the old deltas (assuming you are using flexible updates?) and try to repeat the loads manually & proceed to activate & schedule once the delta has finished processing. If you still think this is an issue related to idocs processing, you can do the re-processing, provided they do not create fresh batch of idocs in the source system. You can re-process the idocs both inbound & out bound using reports like RBDAGAIN (But again, use extreme caution on these!). Please refer the #scn wiki on http://goo.gl/njVLS for more information on the idocs. For reprocessing please check this http://goo.gl/8aAcz. Thanks.

Subject: Continue Process Chain Execution Despite a Process Type Failure

My process chain is made of several process types; process type 1, process type 2, etc.
Generally if a process type fails, e.g., process type 1 failed, subsequent process types are not executed.
1. Is it possible to continue to execute process type 2 despite errors in type 1.
2. If process type 2 was an ABAP program, is it possible to get in this program whether process type 1 was success or failure because I want to do certain things only if process type 1 was a failure,

Hi,
Here are my answers,
1) Is it possible to continue to execute process type 2 despite errors in type 1.
It is possible to execute subsequent process even if the process fails.
when you are developing the process chain, whilee connecting processtype1 and processtype 2, a popup appears with three optionhs "success", "failure", "always".
select "always" in your case.
If you are asking about the process chain already developed, go to edit mode, removelink between process1 and process2 and follow above steps.
*2) If process type 2 was an ABAP program, is it possible to get in this program whether process type 1 was success or failure because I want to do certain things only if process type 1 was a failure *
let me assume that you want to run programA if process1 is succesful and programB if process1 fails.
include programA in process2 and ProgramB in process3
connect process1 to process2(ProgramA) and select "success" n the popup
connect process1 to process3(ProgramB) and select "failure" in the popup.
hope this helps you,
please let me know if you need any more information.

Process Chains - Incompletion Status

Hi,
I am having regular scheduled process chain. In the chain log, At the middle of the chain, chain was showing green, rest of the chain was showing gray color. But i can see rest of the data loads completed after checking the data targets manually.
Can you please tell me the reason, why the rest of the process chain is not showing complete status (Green status) in log view?
Best Regards,
Venkata

Hi
The reason may be becose...
The chain was ran twice....

Details about Process chain

Details about Process chain

Hi Vijay,
            Well the major components of Process chain is mentioned as under:-
A process Chain is a sequence of processes in BI system that executes in the Background.
Commonly Used Process Types
1. Start
2. Execute InfoPackage
3. DTP
4. Attribute Change Run
5. Save Hierarchy
6. Delete Index
7. Generate Index
8. Activate DSO data
9. Update DSO data
10. Complete Deletion of Data Target Content
11. Delete Entire Content of Linked Transactional DSO/ODS
12. Initial Fill of New Aggregates
13. Roll up of Filled Aggregates/BIA indexes
14. Compression of InfoCubes
15. Read PSA and Update Data Target
16. AND
17. OR
18. XOR
If you want to include a load process in the process chain, you need to have already created an InfoPackage.
You cannot load flat file data from a client workstation in the background. For this reason, you have stored your data on an application server.
Creating Process Chains
You have the option of creating a process chain in the process chain maintenance screen directly or by using a maintenance dialog for a process:
Creating a Process Chain Directly in the Process Chain Maintenance Screen
You are in the BW Administrator Workbench.
       1.      Click on the Process Chain Maintenance icon in the AWB toolbar.
The Process Chain Selection dialog window appears.
       2.      Choose Create.
       3.      Enter the technical name and a description of the chain, and confirm your entry.
The Add Start Process dialog window appears.
       4.      Create a variant for a start process.
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.
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.
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.
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.
       5.      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.
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.
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.
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.       From the context menu of a process, create an additional process variant of the Send Message type.
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.       You arrive at a window, in which you can select an existing process variant or create a new one.
4.       If you create a new process variant, edit the document that is going to be sent, and maintain a list of recipients.
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
·         constructing indexes
·         deleting indexes
·         constructing database statistics
·         rolling up filled aggregates
·         compressing InfoCubes
·         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.

Process Chain step status

Hello All,
In one of our process chain , we have an AND step, where in its checks its 4 preeceding steps, its all 4 are green,the AND Step executes and it goes to the next step.
Chain is running fine since many years. But yesterday , we faced the issue that even if the preeceding steps were green, the AND step status showed Completed rather it should show Successfully Completed.
So we had to manually change the status to Successfully Completed and it went fine.
We check with the Basis also, the system was fine during that point.
Any pointers why the step did not get the Status as Successfully Completed.
