How to load data targets through process chain

hello gurus,
i am new to bi7.0 environment,
can anyone provide me step by step loading of data targets with the help of process chains.
its very urgent
thanks in advance
bharath kumar

Hi,
After creating Start variant, select Data Targets in left side, find out which one you want to create PC. Drag and drop that Data Target ODS into right side, and select info package and ods activation.
For Master data also the same you have select Attr Change run.
Connect the links from Start variant to data targets.
Check the below links:

Error in the Source system while data loding through Process Chain

Hi,
I am facing issue while data loading for certain extractors through Process chain. Load of 0BPM_WIHEAD, 0BP_LOGHIST, OBPM_OBJREL, 0BPM_DEADLINES(there are 2-3 more extractors) is getting failed daily with message Error occurred in the source system and if we repeat the same it is getting executed successfully.
Regards,
Javed

Hi..
It means that the extraction job is failing in the source system..
Please check the Job log in the source system --> Copy the request nimber --> In the source system go to SM37 --> Give * then the request number......execute --> Check the Job log..
Look there may be multiple reasons behind this....
1) Connection problem : Go to SM59 and test the connection, If you don't have the access in SM59...then go to RSA1 --> Source Systems --> Right click --> Connection Parameters --> Connection Test
2) Or may be work processes are not available and due to which jobs are failing due to time out...
In both the cases you can check with the Basis Team if they can suggest something....or you can change the process chain scheduling time if possible, and schedule it in such a time when less no of jobs are running..

PSA to Multiple Data Targets in process chain

Hello All,
I am trying to create a process chain that loads data from an already loaded PSA to further targets. (Note that the infopackage to load from R/3 to PSA is in another process chain). I am using the "Read PSA and Update Data Target" process type. But it allows only one data target. I need to push the data to all the targets of that infosource. Do I have to put a process for each target? Or is there a work around? Please help.
Thank you,
Rinni.

Hi Hemant,
Thank you for your detailed answer. I know that it is mostly not practical to have the InfoPackage and "Read from PSA" package in different local chains. However I am facing a situation where I need to create a chain that just extracts all the data from R/3 and loads it till PSA in BW (This is very time critical, so we do not wish to put any other processing in this chain). And in the second chain, we want to put further processing steps within BW. That is the reason, loading from PSA to ODS needs to be in a separate chain.
Another thing is the variant does have a field to enter Data Target, and that shows only the targets of InfoPackage, but allows me to select only one. However, I will go ahead and try with the Infopkg entry as you suggested.
But if you could just elaborate on why you said, I CANNOT have PSA to Targets in a separate chain, I would really appreciate it!
Thanks again,
it was a big help!!

How to stop the data loads through process chains

hi,
I want to stop all the data loads to BI through Process chains where load happens periodic.
kindly suggest how can I proceed.

Hi,
Goto RSPC find your PC and double click on START then change the timings, i.e. give starting date is 01.01.9999 like that Save and ACtivate the PC, it won't start till 01.01.9999.

Loading master data through process chain

Hi Gurus
I am designing the process chain , I know that I have to start by loading master data first for that I am planning to load attribute first and then to load text and then Hierarchy. Is that the right sequence?
Also how can I make sure that once the master data is loaded , the transaction data loading start automatically?
I am planning to put attribute chage run as last process in every master data loading . Is that correct?
Also i would appreciate if you can tell me the very first step I should follow to start my design, I have already identified the master data and transaction data and their respective dependancies.what would be my next step?
Thanks for your help in advance.
Kris

Hi Kris,
Make two seperate Process Chains for Master Data and Transaction Data
For Master Data:
Your sequence is absolutly correct, Identify what all Master Data Objects and make a list of InfoPackages and Start creating Process Chain as
Start --> Attribute --> Text --> Hier --> Attr Change Run
For Transactional Data:
Identify the Data Targets and the Sequence of loading, then create the Process Chain
NOTE: Always Master Data should be loaded before Transaction Data
After Creating different Chains for Master Data and Transaction Data, Make a one Super Chain called Meta Chain where you can put all these process chains,
Meta Chain --> Process Chain 1( Master Data Chain) --> Process Chain 2( Transaction Data)
also check these threads for process chain creation

Hope this helps,

Data Load Requirement through Process Chain

Hello All,
I have implemented an area through a custom data source and following is my data load requirement through Process Chain. Request you to kindly help me for the same.
1. The design is an InfoCube and updated using a Transformation through the custom data source.
2. For the entire year 2008 I want a single request to be loaded. So it gets loaded into the PSA and then into the Infocube through a (Delta) DTP.
3. Now, I have created an InfoPackage (Full Update) with year as 2009 in the selection. Tht is I want tht hencforth the data load should be for the year 2009.
4. Hence, the Infopackage will run to bring the 2009 data into PSA and I run the (Delta) DTP to update the same in the Cube.
5. Now, what i require is everyday the InfoPackage (Full Update) with 2009 should run and bring data into PSA. and the same should be updated in the InfoCube after deleting the 2009 request already present keeping 2008 request loaded previously intact.
I hope the above is nt confusing.
Please let me know if i can elaborate the same.
Thank you.

Incorrect data after activating the request through Process chain.

Dear SDN chaps.
Today morning. I encountered a strange issue in DSO..
I have DSO which is updating from the AL11(application server) flat file.
While i am loading it to PSA there were no issues and after loading it to the DSO there is no issue and its passing through the routine and the data is populating properly in NEW data Table .But after successful activation of the request through process i am getting the wrong records in active data table.
Then i deleted the request and reran it manually i mean triggered the DTP and ran the manual activation surprisingly accurate records are coming through manual process..
I am just wondering why it is not working through process chain and why it is showing incorrect records through process chain execution and how it is showing accurate records through manual uploading process..'
Could some one please help to come out from this..By the way mine is SAP BI 7 SP20 &SP05 for BW 7.01
Thanks
K M R

Hi Pra
Thanks for your response..
We are doing PSA deletion and then we are uploading the data to PSA as well as DSO.
Now the issue is not in the part of loading we are facing the issue in Actiation of request if i am executing the activation through process chain it is sucess but the values are incorrect. If i am doing the manual activation it sucess with correct data.
Even i tried with a new chain but still i am facing the issue.
Surprise thing is in new data table the data is perfect in both the ways like manual upate and Process chain update only during activation i am getting incorrect record in the active data table..
Appreciate your help on this....
Thanks

Loading through Process Chains 2 Delta Loads and 1 Full Load (ODS to Cube).

Dear All,
I am loading through Process chains with 2 Delta Loads and 1 Full load from ODS to Cube in 3.5. Am in the development process.
My loading process is:
Start - 2 Delta Loads - 1 Full Load - ODS Activation - Delete Index - Further Update - Delete overlapping requests from infocube - Creating Index.
My question is:
When am loading for the first am getting some data and for the next load i should get as Zero as there is no data for the next load but am getting same no of records for the next load. May be it is taking data from full upload, i guess. Please, guide me.
Krishna.

Hi,
The reason you are getting the same no. of records is as you said (Full load), after running the delta you got all the changed records but after those two delta's again you have a full load step which will pick whole of the data all over again.
The reason you are getting same no. of records is:
1> You are running the chain for the first time.
2> You ran this delta ip's for the first time, as such while initializing these deltas you might have choosen "Initialization without data transfer", as such now when you ran these deltas for the first time they picked whole of the data.Running a full load after that will also pick the same no. of records too.
If the two delats you are talking are one after another then is say u got the data because of some changes, since you are loading for a single ods to a cube both your delta and full will pick same "For the first time " during data marting, for they have the same data source(ODS).
Hope fully this will serve your purpose and will be expedite.
Thax & Regards

Load into PSA, then into target - in process chains

Hi
I have a question regarding first loading into PSA, then into target - using process chains
It can be done by executing a package only loading into PSA. Then using the process type "Read PSA and Update Data Target".
My problem is, that I want to split this into two seperate chains. I.e. loading all data into PSAs before loading into targets. But when I do these two tasks in seperate chains I get a syntax error shown below. Can it really be true, that you are not able to do this in seperate chains???
Thanks

Process LOADING variant ZPAK_3WI2VMPZM3FE8Y1ELC0TKQHW7 is referenced but is not in the chain
Message no. RSPC060
Diagnosis
Process LOADING, variant ZPAK_3WI2VMPZM3FE8Y1ELC0TKQHW7 must precede the current process. This process is not however available in the chain.
System response
The system is unable to activate the chain.
Procedure
Change the current process so that it no longer references LOADING ZPAK_3WI2VMPZM3FE8Y1ELC0TKQHW7, or schedule process LOADING ZPAK_3WI2VMPZM3FE8Y1ELC0TKQHW7 in the chain so that it precedes the current process.

Hello Karsten
I've discussed this with SAP and even if the response was not clear, it doesn't seem to be possible. We also wanted to do this because we have source system working 24h/24 and 7/7. So as master data and tx data can be created at any time, it was the only way to make sure all master data were available for the load of tx data (loading tx data in PSA, then loading master data, then PSA to target). Is it for the same reason that you want to dissociate the loads ?
What I've done eventually is load in an ODS not BEX relevant (so SID not required), no master check in IP, so the ODS is like the PSA. Then load master data, activate. Then load from this ODS to target. It's working fine. I do not reconsidere changing this.
Good luck
Philippe

How to load data with carriage return through DRM action script ?

Hello,
We are using DRM to manage Essbase metadata. These metadata contain a field for member formula.
Currently it's a string data type property in DRM so we can't use carriage return and our formula are really hard to read.
But DRM support other data type property : memo or formatted memo where we can use carriage return.
Then in the export file, we have change the record delimiter to an other character than CRLF
Our issue : we are regularly using action script to load new metadata => How to load data properties with carriage return using action script ? There is no option to change the record delimiter.
Thanks!

Hello Sandeep
here what I want to do through action script : loading a formula that use more on than one line:
Here, I write my formula using 4 lines but action script cannot load since one line = 1 record.

Broadcasting through process chains

How to broadcast reports to indivdual mailboxs in the company through process chains. say current data should be broadcasted into individual email account every time a new sales order or purchase order is created or by the end of the day , it should automatically trigger the mail with the report. can anyone help on this.

Hi,
Here see the blog details.
The goal of information broadcasting is to distribute the right information, in the appropriate format, to the right people, through different channels, at the right time.
With the BEx Broadcaster, you can precalculate queries, query views, Web templates, reports and workbooks and broadcast them by e-mail or to the portal. In addition to the precalculated documents in various formats (HTML, MHTML, ZIP and so on) that contain historical data, you can also generate online links.
Accessing the Broadcaster
The broadcaster can also be accessed via the Portal through the delivered BI Role.
You can determine the Scheduling for Information Broadcaster
Based on a data change event triggered by a process chain.
Based on a pre-defined time point.
Freely definable scheduling.
Steps to Schedule Information Broadcaster based on a data change event triggered by a process chain
Create the Query in the Query Designer.
Execute the report in the BEx Web Analyzer.
Click on u201CSendu201D to create the settings for broadcasting.
The Broadcast Wizard takes you through a series of prompts where you supply the key information required to develop a broadcast. At any time you can leave the Wizard and use the standard settings dialogs which offer more settings.
Then schedule the broadcast. If you start the Broadcaster for a query (or template or workbook) that gets data from an InfoProvider that will be selected in the process chain, you can select the InfoProvider for Scheduling.
Create the process chain and include the event data change, include process type "Trigger Event Data Change (for Broadcaster), itu2019s available under "Load Process and Post -Processing".
The Process Chain is created including the process types: (1) Start (2) Execute InfoPackage (3) Delta Data Transfer Process (4) Activate DSO (5) Trigger Event data Change.
When you create the Variant for the Event Data Change, using checkbox we can indicate when the Broadcast should trigger.
As soon as that InfoProvider is affected by a Process Chain, the Broadcasting is triggered.
After successful activation you can now schedule your chain. Press button u201CScheduleu201D or menu u201CExecution -> scheduleu201D. The chain will be scheduled as background job. You can see it in SM37. You will find a job named u201CBI_PROCESS_TRIGGERu201D. Unfortunately every process chain is scheduled with a job with this name. In the job variant you will find which process chain will be executed. During execution the steps defined in RSPCPROCESSCHAIN will be executed one after each other. The execution of the next event is triggered by events defined in the table. You can watch SM37 for new executed jobs starting with u201CBI_u201D or look at the protocol view of the chain.
You can monitor the Broadcaster from the SOST transaction.
Note:
Depending on authorizations, end-users can schedule their Broadcasting Settings.
Only for those queries which are checked "Execution with Data Change in the Infoprovider" while you schedule, will be triggered by process chain event.
You may wish to refer the Note on Settings for Information Broadcasting- 760775
Hope this help you

Rakesh

PSA Deletion through Process Chain

Hi Experts,
Currently I am working on the BW3.5 version. I would like to delete the old PSA req through Process Chain. I need some clarification. Please provide me your suggestions. Thanks in advance.
1)In SAP-BW 3.5 version, there is only one process type u2018Deleting Requests from the PSAu2019 is available to do this activity. This process type can delete the requests from the PSA only or Will it delete PSA and Change Log tables!!!!! In the SDN threads, some people said it delete the PSA requests only and some said it delete the PSA requests as well as Change Log.
2)Currently we are having six process chain and each has master & transaction data load(Data load through PSA).
Similarly I am planning to create six PSA deletion process chain which includes master & transaction data deletion. Here I am got little complication on finding Object Name(PSA Table Name).Please refer the screen shot.Is there any short cut to find full list of Object Name(PSA Table) which is currently available in the Process chain every day load.
3)On the request selection, i prefer "Only sucessfully booked/updated req.". I did not select"Only those req with errors,that are not booked in a data target". Please share your view on this selection preference.

Hi Murali,
Thanks for the response. I do understand about the identifying the data source & PSA retention period(days). Let me elaborate my question little more. Thanks.

This process type can delete the requests from the PSA only or Will it delete PSA and Change Log tables!!!!! In the SDN threads, some people said it delete the PSA requests only and some said it delete the PSA requests as well as Change Log.If i am not mistaken, In BW 3.5 PSA deletion will leads through Change Log also.Am i right?

Here I am got little complication on finding Object Name(PSA Table Name).Please refer the screen shot.Is there any short cut to find full list of Object Name(PSA Table) which is currently available in the Process chain every day load.In the very day process chain, we are having many stages in master & transaction load. So I can go through info pkg level and find the data source,then i can identify the PSA table name. But is there any other simplest way to find the PSA table name.

3)On the request selection, i prefer "Only sucessfully booked/updated req.". I did not select"Only those req with errors,that are not booked in a data target". Please share your view on this selection preference. May i know that which option is optimal on normal business process. If i did not select both options, then will that delete all the request in PSA!!!
Thanks.

Compression through process chain

Hi Gurus,
I have 76 cubes in my producation system.
I want compress all cubes through process chain in every weekend.
adding all cubes in one process chain...
pls suggest me ,
thanks,alex

When using the 'Compression of the InfoCube' Process Variant, you don't have the capability of given a date range or year/month of requests to compress. It only has the capability of n days old.
So, you'd have to create two Process Variants, one with marker and one without, for each month of requests to be compressed. Since you haven't compressed for two years, the values to put in the 'Collapse only those requests that were loaded XXX days ago' would be:
730
700
670
640
610
580
550
So in total, you're going to end up with something like 50 Process Variants (25 with marker and 25 without marker). You'd want then to execute in inverse order (730 first, then 710, then 670, and so on) so that it does only 30 days worth of work.
Then once you have completed compressing the InfoCubes, you can then remove all of these Process Variants and only have one with marker and one without and set to how many days old you wish (SAP recommended to us not to compress requests that are less than 21 days old in the case there's an issue with a request - once you compress a request you can't identify and delete data by request).

Infopackage loads 0 record in process chain as BG job not running correctly

Hi Experts,
I have scheduled a daily process chain for Purchasing.
The infopackage in the process chain loads 0 records from R/3 and shows green status but data is available in R/3. Its a FULL update.
But when I load the data manually the infopackage fetchs the record form R/3.
When I checked the background job in R/3 that loaded 0 records, the job gets finished abruptly without fetchig any data.
Please find the job log below:

Kindly help me on this issue as why the job run through process chain is not fetchibg any records.
Regards,

Hi Prasanth,
If the background jobs are not availbale when IP is triggered then the BG job will ot be executed and the IDOCs will get struck.
Once we push the IDOc only the BG job will be executed until then the PC will wait with yellow status.
Hence this is not the issue with the non availability of BG WP.
Also for last one week this issue was happening but today the job executed successfully through the Process chain itself.
Then it shows this is not the issue with PC also.
The job is executed using RFCUSR.
Please suggest what would be the possible cause for this issue.
Regards,
Indhuja
