How to add inits to Process Chain

Hello Experts,
I have a process chain with one ODS joining data of two other ODS.
When I ran the chain for the first time everything was fine. But when I ran it a second time the process cain stops updating activated data from the first two ODS into the third one!
I am not sure, maybe this is an init problem.
But I don't know where to check in pc if it uses full, init or delta update!
any suggestions?
thanx
Axel

simple double--click on the infopackage process type in the chain..it will open up the infopackage change screen..there u can change and save it..
but if u r in production..system will be closed and does not allow u to change infopackages in the chain..
for this u have to goto rsa1--transport connection..click object changeability button..and set 'everything changeable' for infopackage and for some process chain related ones..(dont remember them exactly..sorry)..
please..can u tell where chain is stuck..u said 3rd ods isnt getting data updated into the first 2 ODS's..right..is data updated and activated in first 2 ODS's when run 2nd time..?
please also send steps used in the chain..
cheers,
Vishvesh

Explain: how to include Infospoke in Process Chain where destination is DB

Explain: how to include Infospoke in Process Chain where destination is local machine database [NOT Flatfile]

Hi vijay,
First you create an Infospoke with destination as a DB table in your local BI or BW Machine. Now add this infospoke by going through below steps.
1. Call up the process chain maintenance. Choose This graphic is explained in the accompanying text Process Chain Maintenance from the Administrator Workbench toolbar. The Process Chain Maintenance Planning View screen appears.
2. In the left-hand screen area of the required This graphic is explained in the accompanying text display component, navigate to the process chain in which you want to insert your InfoSpoke. Double-click to select it. The system displays the process chain plan view in the right-hand side of the screen.
If no suitable process chain is available, you need to create a new process chain. You can find additional information under Creating a Process Chain.
3. To insert a process for extraction by means of an InfoSpoke, choose This graphic is explained in the accompanying text Process Types in the left-hand area of the screen. The system now displays the process categories available.
4.In the process category Loading Process and Post Processing, choose the application process type This graphic is explained in the accompanying text Data Export into External Systems.
5.Insert the Data Export into External Systems application type with Drag&Drop into the process chain. The dialog box for inserting a process variant appears.
6.In the Process Variant field, enter the name of the InfoSpoke that you want to include in the process chain, or select it by means of the input help.
Once You have added the infospoke you have to write a program which will fetch the database table that you filled and transfer the data fetched to other legacy system with the help of XI System

ABAP program to add in the process chain before the attribute change run

Hi
I need a ABAP program to add in the process chain before the attribute change run(process) to avoid the locks, can any one send me the program
Regards,
Satish

I am not sure of any standard program .... but you can write your own... should be a small one..
you can check if the table RSDMDENQ has entry for your InfoObject... if yes, then its locked.. if not.. its not locked

How to check the parent process chain of a meta chain

Hello Friends,
Recently I joined a new project, which is of environment BW 3.0. I am trying to find the dependent process chain's parent, but could'nt able to find them. I went through all the process chains manually to check whther the dependent process chain is mentioned in them, but could'nt find any......
Can any of you help me to know how to find the parent process chain of a meta chain ?
I really appreciate your time, will be awarding points to any answers.......
Thanks,

Hello Radhan,
thanks for your quick reply. I searched the table based on your advice, but i could'nt get the parent process chain's name. Can you throw some more ideas please..........

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....
rgds,

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

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?
Thanks,

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...

How to handle hierarchies in process chain

Hi All,
I am designing the process chain for a master GL account number . It has attribute hierarchy and text.
I am successfully able to create the process chain for the attribute and text . But when i add the infopackage for the hierachy I am confused as I have two hierachy infopackages as the client is using two hierachies for the GL accounts.
How should i incorporate these two infopackages which are refereing to two different hierarchies of R3.
I will appreciate your replies.
Regards
Rahul Bindroo

Hi all,
But when I try to put the infopackage with first hierarchy in the process chain I dont get the save hiearchy and attribute change run automatically while as for attributes i get the attribute change run automatically.
If I have to add the load process 'Save hierachy ' i do the following steps:--
Drag and drop save hiearchy--->if i use F4 no list appears/if i create the variant i get a screen with the object type field -
What should I select there.......?>**
Am I following right steps or I am missing something.

How to copy a existing process chain

hi
i am a SAP BW learner.
i created a process chain for inital load and i want to create a process chain by copying first created process chain and tell me in what situation we delete the indexes of InfoCube.
Can any one provide me the solution to how can i copy the existing process chain and tell me in what situation we delete the indexes of InfoCube.
Thanks in Advance.

Hi Kiran:
Thats correct, you can copy an existing process chain and you will get all the variants in it.
well, the best practice to manually do the INIT loads and let the delta loads be in process chain.
we delete indexes and re create them when we are loading an infocube and the reason is performance

How to load hierarchies using process chains

Hi ,
Can any one please explain the steps for loading hierarchies using process chain.whenever i drag the hierarchy infopcakage Save variant is also coming by default,so do we need to have different SAve variant for different hierarchy infopackages or can we have one save variant for all the hierarchy variables.
Thanks,
Vaka

Hello Veka,
How r u ?
Yes ! SAVE Variant & Attribute Change Run will add up while loading the Hierarchy InfoPackage.
Provide the InfoObject Name for which u r loading the Hierarchy in the SAVE variant and SAVE it. The same will be transferred to the Attribute Change Run also.
If u r creating the Chain with more InfoPackages then have the Save Variant & Attribute Change Run at the last.
Best Regards....

Information Broadcast - how to get options for process chains?

Hi,
I try to find out why I do not get the options to trigger the information broadcast through the process chain.
Every time I try to schedule an information broadcast, I only see the option to schedule the broadcast by time only.
I tried by creating/activating a process chain and many more ways - with no success in seeing the desired options.
Who could help and tell how I get the option "Scheduling Set" / "Execution with Data Change in the InfoProvider"? Do I need some add. piece of software?
Thanks!

hi ,
Check these links regarding information broadcast through the process chain.

How to create event based process chains

Hi All,
I would like to know about event based process chains. In connection to this, could you please answer the following queries,
1. How to create events
2. How to link created event to the process chain in the same BI or BW system and as well as from
    externel BI system.
3. How link one process chain with other process chain (i.e, After completion of one process chain, it
    should trigger other dependent process chain)
Thanks and Regards,
Kotesh.

1). Doubt regarding first question.
For example, i would like to create time based event (it should be trigger daily at specified time),
where we have to maintain scheduling options while creating event.
When i checked SM62 there i found only two options a). Event name and b). Description.
Could please send any doucument link if you have.
Ans : You can use function modules like "BP_EVENT_RAISE" in a program and schedule the program to trigger.
2). For externel BIW system also same procedure we need to follow or any difference.
Ans : Externally you need to trigger the same event.
3). i found dependent process chain also had scheduling options as direct scheduling insted of start using meta chain or API. As you said dependent process chain should be mata chain. it seems dependent process chain may be Meta chain or Direct scheduilg.
Ans : Its your choice how you want to schedule it.You can either make that dependent chain a metachain or schedule it separately.
I found at the end of first process chain they kept one process like Raise event and second process chain connected with the help of raise event process event name. If you have any idea about this process could explain a bit more.
Ans : May be they are raising the event in the main chain and triggering the dependent chain using this event.
But Metachain is preferred for such thing.Though it does similar thing.
Hope this helps.
