How start process chain

Hi all,
I have a process chain which was set to Directly Scheduling. But I can only see Immediately in the scheduling setting no periodicly setting and others parameters regarding when and how it starts. But from display I know it run every dat but the start time is not fixed. So my question is how I can know what is the start time setting of this chain ?
thanks in advance

Hello,
You are lookin in a wrong way. Follow the below steps:
1) open the table rspcchain in se16
2) Now put the technical name of the PC in picture in the Process Variants (VARIANTE) field. It should be 4th from the top usually. Also In Version put A.
3) Execute it, you would get certain rows, if you get one with type as chain then the PC under Proces Chain tab is your meta chain.
If you dont get a row with type as chain, then it would not be triggered by any meta chain.
So it will be triggered using a Program .

Hi,
may be you should check your authority. May be you are not allowed to run/schedule a program/chain in background.

Siggi
PS: do a new activation and scheduling of the chain. goto sm37 afterwards and check the processes BI_PROCESS_TRIGGER. There must be at least one waiting for your event.

O.K. I can answer the question by myself: Is an authorisation issue. The rfc user who starts the PCs didn't have enough rights.

How to start Process chain ?

Experts,
In one of my process chan, Attrib. Change Run got failed. rest of the Process chan ran properly.
So, if i open that PC, i could see Red line at the Attr. Change run Tab.
How would i just execute my change Run Process only from the Process chain ?
thanks

Perhaps you are not able to see the red for today's chain since there isn't any error occurring for today's run.
If you click on logs button, you can choose a selection criteria for dates. Then go back to the date when the error occurred.
As mentioned, depending on the reason of failure, you may not need to repeat the attribute change run step at all as today's run or subsequent days run of the attribute change run would have executed this step and repeating will not have any effect.
You can see if there is change run that needs to be executed using t-code: CHANGERUNMONI

How to start process chain without sapall rigths...

Hi everybody,
I got the following problem:
A (normal) user without sapall rights should be able to start a process chain by clicking a button in a bsp application. This works so far.
The process chain is started by invoking the function module RSPC_API_CHAIN_START. The authority check in the fm throws an error because the user does not have the proper rights/roles to plan a batch job for the ALEREMOTE user.
Does anybody has a solution for this? It's really urgent!!!
Thanks in advance,
Joerg

Hi Joerg,
You might opt to change the scheduling of the start step of your process chain so that it is triggered by an event. Here are the steps:
1) Define an event in SM62
2) Change your process chain so that it is triggered by the event you created in step 1.
3) Change your ABAP code (that responds to the button in your BSP application...the planning function i think). You can then use the function module BP_EVENT_RAISE to trigger the event you created in #1.
Advantage:
The users don't need the extra authorizations.
Disadvantage:
In contrast to using the RSPC_API_CHAIN_START function module, you won't immediately know whether the process chain was started successfully (you might have to call another FM to check the status).
If you can't change the trigger for the process chain, then the longer solution would be to construct an ABAP program that will execute the RSPC_API_CHAIN_START, schedule the program in a background job (to run under a powerful user id), set the background to be triggered by an event, trigger the event when the user clicks the button.

Starting process chains using RSPC_API_CHAIN_START(parallel execution of processes)

Hi,
We've got sap bw 3.5 installed.
We are using API RSPC_API_CHAIN_START to start executing process chains.
IF we are using param I_SYNCHRONOUS = 'X' then if we have parallel processes in chains they are executing one by one.
IF we are setting param I_SYNCHRONOUS = '' then proccesses are executed in parallel. But I recieved all the prompts. For example for chosing background server.
and others.
Is there an opportunity to combine these 2 cases: not to have prompts and execute processes in parallel?
Thanks for you help
Andrey

Hi,
I tried without I_SYNCHRONOUS param, it works the same as I_SYNCHRONOUS = ''. I recieve all the promts.
Thanks for you help.

Error while starting process chain

Hi BW Gurus,
I am facing a different error while trying to start a process chain in BW.
Error message below:

Hi Girish mandli,
The process chain are scheduled from Basis side, i have checked with him, he told that, it scheduled with date and time.
It is daily load, should trigger at 2:00 am in morning, but from last 2 days it not scheduling.
Cause: there was unexpected DB shutdown, due to which all the jobs where canceled.
next day all the jobs got scheduled once DB was Up, due to which some jobs failed and manually scheduled failed jobs from BW side.
All the chains are triggering fine, but got only problem with this chain.
Please help to rectified this error.
Thanks and Regards
Chakri

Hello Experts,
is there a transaction or other possibility where i can get an overview at a glance of the starting times of all running process chains i have in a system.
Thanks for help!

Process chain start by dialog process

Hy Expert, i have a serious problem.When i schedule a process chain , it start by dialog process. What i do for start process chain by background process?
Thank's a lot.
Andrea

HI
You could do the following:
1) Create an event variant (i think it was SM63 or something like that)
2) write a short abab program that raises an event (see example)
*& Report start chain
REPORT start chain.
CALL FUNCTION 'RSSM_EVENT_RAISE'
EXPORTING
    i_eventid                    = 'your created event'
    i_eventparm                  = 'your variant'
* EXCEPTIONS
*   BAD_EVENTID                  = 1
*   EVENTID_DOES_NOT_EXIST       = 2
*   EVENTID_MISSING              = 3
*   RAISE_FAILED                 = 4
*   OTHERS                       = 5
IF sy-subrc <> 0.
* MESSAGE ID SY-MSGID TYPE SY-MSGTY NUMBER SY-MSGNO
*         WITH SY-MSGV1 SY-MSGV2 SY-MSGV3 SY-MSGV4.
ENDIF.
3) Scedule your chain by event and activate it (you need to make it periodical to run severeal times).
4)   Scedule the program.
Hope this helps.

Process chain start variant repaired in production

Hi
I took up tasks from our previous Bi team
I am told we have followed the regular process of DEV -- QA and PROD for all process chains
I see a strange observation in Production for a particular process chain in its start variant
It is shown to run as immediate in the start variant, in the detail view , but
it runs scheduled at a certain time every day, I can see the scheduled jobs released
I see that in production it is attached to a request in repaired status
process chain works fine and triggers regularly
I am unable to understand why it shows as immediate in the start variant and however runs on a regular schedule

Hi
1) why does the start variant of this META chain show up as immediate, when it is actually running scheduled ?
are you able to see the chain in green color(scheduled state).
when you right click on start process chain step and you have option to select display scheduled job?..if yes check the start condition by double click on job.
2)Does the change directly in production, could have brought in this behavior?
We can change the start condition of process chain, when right click on start variant and select display variant..here you can see last changed name
3) If , I re transport the whole META chain from DEV-QA --PRD , will the start variant change or will it cause trouble considering the fact that the start variant was repaired in PROD directly.
No need to transport again, if you know the start condition of process chain, edit the same in prod and save it.

Venkatesh

Why the process chain always run twice when triggered from R3?

I run a program from R3 by calling the remote function 'RSSM_EVENT_RAISE' on BW to trigger an event and in turn the event on BW bring up the running of a process chain. But whenever I run the program on R3 to bring up the running of the process chain, I find the process chain always run twice at the same time. Does anybody knows the answer?
And also I would like to know the functionalities of the two picture buttons "Activate" and "Activate and Schedule" in process chain. In which case the "Activate" button should be used and in which case, the "Activate and Schedule" button should be used? If we click the Start variant of a process chain, then click "Change Selections" button which bring up the window "Start Time" where the buttons "Immediate", "Date/Time", "After job", and "After event" are listed at the top. If we modify at any of the above buttons, then after save this modification, we will have to click "Activate and Schedule" button to make it work, right?
Thanks a lot and everyone's idea is greatly appreciated!

Kevin, make sure there is only one job scehduled for the Start Process of your Process Chain. If you bring up the Process Chain (not the log view), right click on the Start Process and select "Displaying Scheduled Job(s)...". There should only be one scheduled job with name BI_PROCESS_TRIGGER. If there is more than one, then when triggered, it would execute more than once at the same time. If there is only one job, then maybe your R/3 program is triggering the event more than once?
As far as the Start conditions for the Start Process, it works off the same principals as a scheduled job. These start conditions determine when or how the Process Chain is to be executed. You also have control over frequency. These start conditions determine the scheduling of the Start Process of your Process Chain.
When you schedule a Process Chain, a separate scheduled job is created for "each" process in the Chain. BW controls the triggering of these jobs based upon how the processes in the Chain are linked. All the jobs associated with Process Chains have strict naming conventions and all begin with BI_PROCESS_... If you use SM37 to view all jobs that begin with BI_PROCESS_ you will find alot of scheduled jobs associated with your process chains. Each job represents one of the processes within your process chains.
Does this help?
Another tip might be to trigger the event manually in BW (use tx SM64). If the process chain executes twice again, then maybe there is a separate scheduled job in BW that triggers the process chain that is triggered by the same event as the start process of the process chain.

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,

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.
Please find additional information in the SAP Help Portal: http://help.sap.com/saphelp_mdm300/helpdata/EN/88/454ba493cb43f1b74336772a7f3508/frameset.htm

Loop in Process Chain never ends?!

Hello All!
I'd created an ABAP program which calls the FM "RSPC_CHAIN_EXECUTE_REMOTE", to start a specific process chain. I'd created a job to run it.
Then, I want the same process chain continue in loop. For this I'd created another ABAP program, which calls the FM BP_EVENT_RAISE.At the end of my process chain I'd created a variant calling this program. All process im my process chain works fine, but the job never stops. Is it normal, or could I do something to solve it?
Thank you!!!
Aline.

Hi Aline,
You have to put a logic when to raise event. or every time ABAP program runs and triggers the event ... so its becomes infinite...
What is code in your ABAP program..? and logic...?

Hope it Helps
