How can i understand the Process Chain management in real time!!!

Hi,
now i am learning BW concepts. now i would like to know the real time scenarios regarding Process chains. can any body help me in this matter?.
thanks,

Hi,
A process chain is a defined sequence of interdependent processes required to perform acomplex task in an SAPBW environment. Data maintenance tasks in SAPBW are notrestricted to uploading data. Aggregate rollups, index maintenance, master data and ODS activation, and a variety of other jobs are required to update data, guarantee best-possible performance, and maintain data integrity. Typical SAPBW implementa-tions have complex interdependent networks of jobs in place that run every night, week,or month.Previous releases of SAPBW did not provide an integrated solution for scheduling and monitoring those kinds of job networks. This has changed with the introduction of process chains in release 3.0. Process chains allow you to define complex job networks consisting of standard SAPBW jobs, as well as custom jobs; they support visualizing the job network and centrally controlling and monitoring the processes.

How can u know the process chain total time, individual time?

Hi guru's
How can u know the process chain total time, individual time?
and what options will available in sm37?
Thanks
prabha reddy

Hi Prabha
Iam not very sure about total time and individual times.
But you can go to tcode rspcm for monitoring the daily process chains. it gives you details like 1. status 2.start date & time 3. Log ID of each process chain.
or you can go to log view of particular individual chain to know how long it has run.
SM37: tcode for simple job selection.
here you check the status of job.
you can select for certain conditions like
1. scheduled
2. released
3. ready
4.active
5. cancelled
Assign points if it was helpful
Revert back if you need further info/

How can i end the Process chain based on some condition

HI All,
I have a scenario where i have a main pc chain which call the new chain at the end which in turn again call pc1. So its more like a closed loop .
pc1-->pc2->pc1
What main chain does is it reads some field value from a dso and assign that to some variable and set some flag to identify that value has been used. My second chain just run the report using the same variables assign by first chain. Now i have to design the main chain such that when all the values have been read from the dso, it should exit and should not trigger 2nd chain. How can i achieve this scenario.
Thanks
Prashant

Hi,
For this try using Process Type-"Decision between multiple Alternatives" in your main chain.It helps you the set condieion based on some formulas
Pls refer links
Decision Between Multiple Alternatives
thanks

How can we set a process chain to trigger the nodes w/o manual intervention

SDNers,
We have a Master PC which has the loading & activation of some Hierarchies.Wats happening is some of the hier activations are failing (we got track of the root cause as well) and the nodes below are not getting triggered automatically, eventhough they have been designed to get triggered irrespective of success or failure of this hierarchy activation. The chain prompts for the u2018Status change & trigger the following eventsu2019 opo-up and only when it was said u2018yesu2019, the subsequent node gets triggered in the chain. If this manual intervention was not there, the Chain gets struck at the activation node, whic is running in yellow status for long, though a short dump - error has already been thrown.
My query is how can we set a process chain not to anticipate the manual intervention of chnaging the status & trigger events pop-up

Hi ravi,
i'm not sure abt the query but what i got thru ur qustion is u have to automtaically go to the next load/step even the proceess chain fails in the step......
for that we have the same master meta chains with link of so many local chains...for this even if there are some interventions/fails in between the process chains it never gets stopped....
it goes to the next step and we'll work, analyse and finish the failed load manually....the next day it'll be
fine...
b4 to this make sure that there is no dependency for the previous loads....
And now the solution i found for this is in the process chain design itself.......
while giving the links itself we'll be getting the options as status RED,GREEN and RED(or)GREEN.....now if u got for the third option the event goes to the next step even it is unsuceesful....

Can we stop the process chain in middle of the process ?

hi experts,
Can we stop the process chain in middle of the process after scheduled.
my process chain is like start--->load>psa>ods1-->further updates--->ods2. In this case I have already scheduled but i want to stop the process how can i. After rectifying the error I want to restart again.
if it is possible what are the steps we fallow pl give me step by step procedure.
thanks & regards.
venkat

stopping the process chain is pretty simple. you just need to kill the jobs associated to them as mentioned by other folks.
for restarting, have a look at this blog.
Restarting Processchains
there he explains how to restart a stopped process chain.

How can i find the meta chain name?

My process chains are running based on meta chain option,So how can i find the meta chain name???

Hello
Goto SE16
Table RSPCCHAIN
ut u r local chain name as varient and exe
similerly goback if the chain you get is also a local chain....Until you get only one chain...
Where Used List --
RSPCPROCESSLOG table
You can see the Process Logs at SM37 too based on the Technical name of the Chain you can trace the Meta chian
Thanks

How can we delete a process chain?

Dear Ones,
By Mistake I have converted an infopackage group into process chain in Quality system. How can we delete a process chain?

Hi Bhanu,
I've doubt that what is the difference between cancel with core and cancel without core with respect to process chain.
Could you please advice how do we start a process chain daily without using the schedular window for transaction data.
Thanks in advance...

I can't enter the group (chain) of emails from time to time using iPhone OS MailBox software.

I can't enter the group (chain) of emails from time to time using iPhone OS MailBox software. It's ok with stand-alone emails but email chains are existing unlogically. I just press on the chain (with double ">>" sign) and nothing is done. Also I can't enter one of my email account, but I think this issue can be corresponded with the previous one. your help is appreciated!

Carolyn,
I think your TV might be a rear projection model, correct? Those types of TVs inherently have overscan built into them as part of their optical design. The TV should have some picture SIZE settings that affect how much overscan is present, and some settings may even get rid of it altogether with the result there might be a small black border instead.
Don't worry about changing TV settings. Settings like this are tied to a specific input. So if you make these types of changes while the TV is passing the mini's video through to the screen, those changes will only apply to the mini. When you switch to other inputs, like a cable box, etc., the old settings should still be intact and unchanged.

How can I calculate the waveform integral in a defined time interval?

Hi:
I need your help. How can I calculate the waveform integral in a defined time interval? For example: from "0" to "2pi"?!
Thanks.

Hello Clecio,
You might want to try the Integral x(t) VI. The documentation for this VI notes:
Performs the discrete integration of the sampled signal X. Integral x(t) calculates a definite integral. The value of the output array at any value x is the area under the curve of the input array between 0 and x.
You would pass the samples of the waveform that fall between your particular window, then pass 1/number of samples for the d(t) parameter.
Hope that helps.

How can i start the process in the Process Overview?

Hallo All,
i make first steps with nw ce and work on a tutorial. But after i have deployed my model i can't start the process in the process repository becaus the button "Start Process" is hidden, to see here: [screenshot|http://alexshram.al.ohost.de/pub/procRepOverview.jpg]
Please, can me one explain how i can start my process.
Thank you in advance!

Hi Alex,
The Process Flow and Start Process button are not enabled because you have selected the Task Definition item('Display Name Age') in the Processes and Tasks table. Please select Process Defintion itme('prcNameAge' ).
This should resolve your issue.

How can I control the video playback start and end time?

I'd like to be able to start a video/audio playback at a particular point in time say 3 seconds from the starts of the video and play it for only 3 seconds. How can I set the unique start and end points rather than play the whole video. I'd also like to be able to do this using the SeriesElement so I can set the start and end play points for a series of stacked videos. How can this be achieved?

Not sure I understand the question. Can't you just append the param to the URL? Like so:
var url = new URL("http://video-research/video.f4v?start_time=500");
If your question is more about playing a subclip of a progressive video, that's not something OSMF has support for. You'd need to write a server script which checks for that parameter and then returns the relevant portion of the requested file. (This is typically referred to as "pseudo-streaming", if you Google that term you'll find a wealth of info.)

How can i view the items i copied in my time capsule and back it to my mac.

Hi everybody, sorry for my bad english, i´m from Mexico City, i bought the time capsule only for used it like a backup, i made all the steps through time machine and all seems very well, but i don't know how can i view the items i copied and back it to my mac.
Please Help Me.

I assumed that you are using Time Machine to make backups to your new Time Capsule (TC) ... correct? If so, then you would normally use the Time Machine interface to locate files that have been already backed up.
For example, let's say that you had a document in your \Documents folder. For some reason you deleted this file, and then, decided that you still needed it. The "normal" process to retrieve it would be to open the \Documents folder in a Finder window on your Desktop ... then open the Time Machine interface. Once opened, you will be presented with not only that folder, but as many versions of that folder as the number of times Time Machine backed it up. Using the forward/backwards (in time) arrows, you would move to a folder that has the recently deleted file. From there you can easily retrieve the file.
For more information on how to use Time Machine, either use the built-in help or check out this Apple Support article.
