Do we need to create process chain explicitly nor system generates process

Hi all,
Do we need to create process chain explicity in bpc netweaver nor the system generates it internally when we run data managment packages
thanks
Pooja

When you install BPC, there is a set of delivered process chains which are installed as well. You create the data manager packages from the BPC Excel clicent based on these process chains. You can of create custom BPC process chains in NetWeaver and create packages from those as well(for example via a How-To guide). So to answer your question, no, you do not have to create the "standard" process chains, and they are not generated by the system either, they are delivered as part of the BPC installation.

How to create process chain with dso and infocube at a time

hi friends,
i have a FLATFILE in application server and i need to upload it to STANDARD DSO and i created a INFO PACKAGE and DTP for DSO.
i have a STANDARD INFOCUBE to upload data from above DSO. here DSO is the source. i want to schedule this process in process chain. how could i do this. any one please give me solution.
can any one explain me the options in RSPC and how they work and where we exactly use. this is very helpful to me. please give me guidance. thank you.
thanks,
sree

First make sure you have already created the infopackage to load the data from server to the DSO and the DTP to load data from DSO to the Cube.
Now goto Tcode RSPC.
Choose Create process Chain option. provide appropriate technical name and description.
Drag "Execute infopackage" process type from left hand side pane in RSPC. Choose the infopackage to load the data from Server to DSO. you can find this infopackage using the F4 help in the above selected process type.
Drag the "data transfer process" process type to load data from the Flat file data source above to the DSO.
Then Drag the "Activate DataStore Request" process type and select the DSO in which you would load the data using the above DTP.
Drag the "data transfer process" process type to load data from DSO to the Cube.
Save, activate and schedule the process chain according to appropriate time.

How to create Process chain for Aggregate for Master data

Hello friends,
I created Aggregates on Navigational Attributes.
Now they are working fine, but i need to know that how shall i create the Roll up for Aggregates on Navigational Attributes.
The point is the master data changes frequently a lot of time for e.g. for 0customer etc.....
So if any one can send me the step by step documents so as to know how to roll up the Aggregates for Navigation attributes or for aggregates created on Master data....
How to create process chains for the same ?????????
Because if master data changes, then rolling up the aggregates straight forward will not help.
So we need to write a process chain so that it deactivates the aggregate and reactivate again and fill up again..........
If i mis interpreted something please rectify it.......
Please advise

Hello,
the changerun that you have to schedule in order to activate the master data will adjust the aggregates automatically. There is no need to deactivate them after master data loads.
Best regards,
Ralf

How to create process chains,and how to use process like and or xor

Hi,
How to create process chains,and how to use process like and or xor.
can any one please give me a example in each.
Thanks,
cheta.

Hi Cheta,
Here is step by step procedure to create process chains
Process chain is nothing but executing a process ..(or) loading the data any process we can do in background.. that means.. automatically we can execute our process based on Time or any event..
Creating Process Chains
Prerequisites
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.
1. 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.
2. 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.
3. 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.
Hope this helps

Creating process chains in production environment..

Hi,
We are planning to create process chains in our project , can we directly create process chains in the production environment? the data and the set up is very very small here so the number of chains and processess are very less , is it ok if we create the process chains in Production environemnt directly, or we need to create in development and transport it to production (note: there is no quality instance for BW in our project).
Solicit your help!!
Regards
Srinivas

Hi ,
Best practice would be to create PC in DEV and move it to PRD .
Actually what happens in real time is sometimes your data mismatch happens or some other data loading activity you are doing in PRD system . So you need the freedom of creating DTP or Infopackage directly in PRD system . otherwise it would be a time consuming process to make it from DEV to PRD .
Similarly when you are Infopackages & DTPs in PRD environment, there is a chance that your process chain might also be changed . So yes we can create it in PRD system .

Steps for Creating Process chain!

Hi All,
I want to create process chain which can schedule IP and run the concern job to fill infocubes/ODS?Can someone please guide me stepwise how to proceed.Some sort of doc will eb appreciated.

       If you choose to schedule the chain directly, enter the start date value for a chain under Change Selections and save your entries.
       Save your entries, go back to the previous screen and confirm your entries in the Add Start Process dialog box.
The Plan View of the process chain maintenance screen appears.
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 Drag&Drop or double-click to add the relevant processes to your process chain.
Choose Process Types 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 a process into the chain that is linked to additional processes by default, the respective process variants are generated and automatically inserted into the process chain. These variants are suggestions and can be changed, replaced or removed from the chain as required. Variant maintenance is called when the change run performs automatic insert.
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, go back to the previous screen and confirm your entries in the Add Start Process dialog box.
The Plan View of the process chain maintenance screen appears.
               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 by default, 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 as required. Variant maintenance is called when the change run performs automatic insert.
                  Choose Process Types 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.
        When you add a process, you need to select a process variant or create a new variant. For collection processes, the system uniquely determines the variants.
        Various functions for editing the process are available from the context menu
Maintain variants With the exception of the variants in the collection processes OR and EXOR, you can use this function to change all process variants.
Exchange variants
You can exchange the variants for an existing variant or a variant that is to be created.
    You can use this function to link a process to a successor process. You can choose from the processes that are not yet linked to the current process. They are grouped according to process type in submenus.
      Display scheduled jobs
Once the process chain is active, you can use this function to display the jobs that have been scheduled.
       After at least one process chain run, you can display all of the scheduled jobs for a specific process and all of the jobs with which this process was run. The Job Overview appears and you can call 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.       To do this, using the context menu for a process, create another process variant of type Send Message.
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.       A dialog box appears, 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.
The message process variant is now assigned to your application process. When the message is sent, the status information and the process log are also sent.
Only use this function 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 in the debugger 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 to call the data target administration for the following types of process variants:
         Construct index
         Delete index
         Construct database statistics
         Roll up filled aggregates
         Compress InfoCube
         Activate DataStore object data
       7.      Hold down the left mouse button to connect the processes with 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. To do this, select 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. If the process that triggers the event has more than one option, choose the option after which the successor process is to be run
       9.      Assign a display component to the process chain using Attributes
     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.
During the check, the system calculates the number of parallel processes according to the structure of the chain . The result is compared with the number of background processes on the chosen server (or the total of all available servers if no server is specified in the attributes of the process chain). If the number of parallel processes is greater than the number of available background processes, the system highlights every level of the process chain where the number of processes is too high. The system produces a warning for these levels.
   12.      Save your process chain if it does not contain any errors.
You can activate and schedule your process chain. After scheduling, 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 scheduling. In the Log View, you can display the reports for the chain runs.

Creating process chains

Hi guys,
I need a step-by-step guide on how to create process chains urgently, could you please walk me through the process of what to click on to begin with e.t.c.
Thanks in advance

Hi Gurbinder,
First of all you need to Identify the InfoObjects if you want to take up Master Data Loads, and if you want take up transaction loads then select the Data Targets to which the data has to be updated. Then plan the dataflow accordingly.
You want to create a Process Chain, Go to RSPC, and then select the create option and from the Process categories available on the left handside drag and drop the Start process, then define the Variant for the same. In the same way you need to identify the other Process Types available on the lefthand side. For Eg: Start Process>Load to ODS>Activation of ODS Data>Delete Indexes for the InfoCube>Load to InfoCube>Create Indexes>Delete Overlapping Req-->Agg. Rollup.
This is how you need to specify the dataflow, several other Process Types also included based on the requirement For Eg: Sending Mail Alerts when the Job is Success or Terminated.
Hope this will Help you..

Madhu

Go about creating Process Chains for BW-HCM Implementation.

Dear Experts
We are implementing SAP BW in HCM (HR) module. I am done with Build and would like to create Process Chains.
I have nearly 150 InfoObjects to load Master Data and 15-20 to load Transaction Data. I understand there are certain main Master Data InfoObjects which need be loaded before others and then the Transaction Data into DSOs and InfoCubes.
Questions:
1. Are Hierarchies need to be loaded first of all, if so, can this be done using Process Chain?
2. Which InfoObjects should be loaded before Transaction Data and is this need to be sorted out irrespective of different Functional Areas such as OM, PA, PY, etc?
3. Is it documented anywhere, the sequence of loading Objects in SAP BW-HCM Implementation that l can Benchmark my project to?
Thanks for your time.
Regards,
Chandu

1. Hierarchies can be loaded using the process chain like the other loads..
2. Its specific to the Application in whcih you are working.. Here its HCM related Master data. So list of the main master data elements which are key so that you can load transaction data loads once after the MD loads are done.
3. One way to find the kind of characteristics that you are using in HCM. Also you can verify the kind of Navgational attribuites that you are using at DSO or at CUBE level based on that you can list of the respective master data which needs to be loaded prior to the TD loads.. And also you need to cross verify the existing Rotuines which ever is reding the MD.
For more information you can refer Help.sap.com on HCM application.
Hope this helps..

How to Create Process Chain for Remote Cube.

Hi,
I created Remote info cube, data from ECC, loaded Successfully, I want to create Process Chain for Reomte Cube, Please Help me.
Thanks,
Nandish Gowda

Hi Nandish,
After initialization, th next delta will come as per your delta nature, if it is 0calday: Then your next delta will come tomorrow only.
If you are able to 7 records in RSA3, why not in PSA( Why it's only 5 records). Analyze this closely.
Sometimes, RSA3 exactly doesn't match with PSA because, RSA3 works on update mode F.
