How to Notify if Process Chain DOES NOT complete?

How do I use Process Chains to notify me if the end process of a chain DOES NOT run by a certain time? Example: Chain starts at 6PM every night, always finishes by 7:30. If it doesn't complete by 8:00, I want to be notified. I can spawn an event on completion of the chain, but the 8PM job has to notify me ONLY IF this event is not active. How to do that?

Well you can make the ABAP process type send message
RSPC>from main menu Settings>Maintain process types
change mode -->select process type "ABAP" and change "possible events" to "Process ends successful or Incorrect" save it.
come out of process chain and goto the process chain maintenance again.
In regards to your question of 18 steps ,as i said you only need this ABAP process type once at the END of the Process chain to SET the flag status = X.
Another Process chain runs at 8.00 with only one process type ABAP process type to check the status in table if empty or X and send message accordingly,
Fyip - table RSPROCESSLOG and FM - RSPC_PROCESS_FINISH also available at your disposal to get some leads.
You can wait until some one has better solution and implemented it before,i just put my thoughts in to it,its not imperative for you.
I leave the thoughts with you.
Hope it Helps

Failed ABAP process in process chain does not trigger subsequent process

Hello,
I have a issue in my process chain with the abap process type.
When this abap process gets failed due to some reason; it is not trigerring subsequent step in the chain.
Any ideas on how it can be solved or any work-around?
I searched the forum and got to know that we can create a copy of abap process type, and can change possible events to
"success or fail".
Please let me know your views on it or if someone has ever encountered similar issue.
Thanks alot for your help,
Anuj

Hi Anuj,
My guess is that you have your the link between the ABAP process type and the subsequent step to trigger on success. You can check this, Go to RSPC -> process chain and check the design. If the link has a green light on it, then it will trigger only on success of the abap process. You need to check with your design and confirm whether this need to be like this, (maybe the abap process is doing something which is required for the subsequent loads??)
If no then you can change the link type to either success of failure and activate the chain. This would resolve your problem.
If you cant change your chain, then i would suggest you correct the failure and then use the program RSPC_PROCESS_FINISH to push the chain further. Just search for this on the forums, there are plenty of blogs/threads on this.
Regards.

Infopackage insert in process chain does not work

Hi,
We upgrade a system in support package 13 (we are in veresion 7) and since this upgrade i can not add an infopackage in process chains.
When i try to insert an "execute infopackage" process, i click on the list of infopackage available and the systems says :
No data selected
Of course i have info^package available.
If you have any idea ?
Thanks
Cyril

We had the same problem ( BI 7.0 - SP 13 ) but was resolved after having applied OSS note 1062704.
Just apply that note - it should solve it.

HOW TO STOP THE PROCESS CHAIN WHICH IS RUNNING IN THE PRODUCTION?

HI ALL,
CAN ANYONE TELL ME HOW TO STOP THE PROCESS CHAIN WHICH IS RUNNING DAILY AT 5.00 PM. I NEED TO STOP THE PROCESS CHAIN FOR COUPLE OF DAYS AND THEN RESTART IT AGAIN.
cAN ANYONE TELL ME THE PROCEDURE TO STOP THE ENTIRE PROCESS CHAIN RUNNING IN THE PRODUCTION.
THANKS
HARITHA

Hi,
First and foremost let me advice you to be very careful while doing this.
For Rescheduling
RSPC> chain > Goto > Planning view and
click on Execution tab > select > Remove from Schedule and then in Maintain variant of start process reschedule for the day you require it to run.
For terminating active chain
You can start from SM37, find the process WID/PID then go to SM50 or SM51 and kill it. Once its done come back to RSMO and check the request, it should be red but again manually force to red and save by clicking on the total status button in the status tab. This shuld ensure that the process is killed properly.
The next step will be to go to targets that you were loading and remove the red requests from those targets.
Note: For source system loads you may have to check if the request is running in the source system and kill if needed and pull it again.
But for BW datamart delta loads u may have reset the datamarts in case u are going to pull the delta again.

How to test the process chains

hi sap gurus,
Can anybody tell me how to test the Process chains before i load real time data,i run process chains every morning 6.15 am,before that i want to test every process is linked to another.
thanks in advance.

Hi,
Scheduling the process is the only way to check whether it is running fine or not. The process chains should be checked first in the Dev server and then in the QA server before transported to Prod.
You can also check the process chain using the "check" button to see if the processes are in the proper sequence or not.
There is a "log" button to keep track of the progress of the chain

Infopackage in process chain is not scheduling

Hi All
One of infopackage in process chain is not scheduling and showing error message like "<b>Attributes are not yet maintained
Entire chain now has status 'R'</b>
what do we mean about this
can anyone will let me know in detail and how to correct this?
Regards
balaji

Hi balaji,
how big is your process chain ? I got a similar problem when I build a metachain with a lot of processes in the chain (more than 60). In this case, the error message is deceiving. If your process chain has similar numbers of processes, check OSS 942804 (Jobcount handling).
Kind regards,
Jürgen

Process Chain : 0PM_INIT_P01 - Not Shown in RSPC

Dear Friends
I have installed 0PM_INIT_P01 (Initialisation:MTTR / MTBR) Process chain.
It installed successfully.
But i could not able to see in RSPC.
Can anybody tell me why it is...?
Some where i found authorization object S_RS_PC is needed for my user id. Is it so...?
Than how i can map to my user id...?
Points will be awarded for right answers
Regards
Raju Saravanan

Friends
Problem is, the installed process chain is not getting displayed in RSPC for further operations.
Before that, I have installed the Process Chain through business content (0PM_INIT_P01), and it got successfully installed. I had seen in SM37.
For testing purpose i have given the same name (0PM_INIT_P01) for another chain creation.
But system telling the name is already available.
My confusion, why it is not getting displayed in anywhere in RSPC.

How to kill a process chain in an intermediate step...?

How to kill a process chain in an intermediate step...?
I have tried doing it using SM37... but still the chain is hanging....
Please help ASAP...
Regards
Sneha

Hi Sneha,
If its a loading process then:
1. Go to monitor & make its overall status RED.
2. Go to the target & make the QM status RED.
3. Since its loading data to BW, its R/3 will be active even if you make any status RED in BW.
4. Cancel its corresponding R/3 job. U'll get its R/3 job from monitor>Header tab>Job name. Copy that job name& go to R/3 side>sm37>in Job name add B*followed by the job name copied & then delete the Active job.
Once this is done then your loading process will anyhow stop further stopping the Process chian.
If your job is other than loading, then simply go to that process chain & remove the link between the active process nad the next process after cancelling the active job (as mentioned in the various replies for your question).
Give some time to update the staus of that cancelled job in Db, because even if you cancel any active job, it requires some time to refresh it updated status. Once it is cancelled you can rejoin the link between the proceses and reactivate & schedule your process chain.
hope it'll help

Edited by: guttireddy on Feb 23, 2012 11:30 PM

Hi Reddy,
You may find the run time of a PC using below steps.
1. Call SE38 > /SSA/BWT > Execute > Enter your PC , choose the date and time > Execute. Here Run-time of a PC is displayed. (or)
2. Call RSPC1 > Enter your PC > Execute > Goto Log view > Right click on the start Variant > Displaying Messages > Note down the start time in Chain Tab. Now Right click on the last Process type of the PC > Displaying Messages > Note down the End time in Chain Tab. The Difference b/w start time and end time gives the Run-time of your PC.
Hope this helps.

Process Variant does not exist in version A:

Good day
I have changed an existing process chain by removing an InfoPackage that had no link to any other process but the 'start'. When I 'test' the chain the message: "Process Variant AND .... does not exist in version A" is displayed. I have not even touched the 'AND' process.
As a result the chain does not want to activate.
What am I missing here?
Thanks
Cornelius Faurie

Thanks for your quick response. Sorry, I did not give you all the information. The 'AND' process was still connected between two Ioad processes (One IP loads Mdata from a flat file, then the AND process, then the second IP load from CRM (0BPARTNER)) BUT there were two AND's with the same name. I think I removed the process of the one AND at one stage, but the second remained (Copy of the same AND).
I have removed the AND process in totality and created a new one and it is activating now.
Sorry, my stupidity.
Thanks anyway

How to Uninstall Yosemite? System does not allow Erase the HD, nor does it allow re-install of original O/S Disc (10.6.7). I want Mavericks or even Lion Back.   Thanks.

How to Uninstall Yosemite? System does not allow Erase the HD, nor does it allow re-install of original O/S Disc (10.6.7). I want Mavericks or even Lion Back.   Thanks.

Start with reinstalling Snow Leopard:
Clean Install of Snow Leopard
Be sure to make a backup first because the following procedure will erase
the drive and everything on it.
     1. Boot the computer using the Snow Leopard Installer Disc or the Disc 1 that came
         with your computer. Insert the disc into the optical drive and restart the computer.
         After the chime press and hold down the "C" key. Release the key when you see
         a small spinning gear appear below the dark gray Apple logo.
     2. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue
         button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu.
         After DU loads select the hard drive entry from the left side list (mfgr.'s ID and drive
         size.) Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window. Set the number of
         partitions to one (1) from the Partitions drop down menu, click on Options button
         and select GUID, click on OK, then set the format type to MacOS Extended
         (Journaled, if supported), then click on the Apply button.
     3. When the formatting has completed quit DU and return to the installer. Proceed
         with the OS X installation and follow the directions included with the installer.
     4. When the installation has completed your computer will Restart into the Setup
         Assistant. After you finish Setup Assistant will complete the installation after which
         you will be running a fresh install of OS X. You can now begin the update process
         by opening Software Update and installing all recommended updates to bring your
         installation current.
Download and install Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1 Access the App Store to download Mountain Lion or Yosemite. Mavericks is no longer available since the release of Yosemite. If you purchased Mountain Lion from the App Store, then you can redownload it via your Purchases page in App Store. If not, then you will need to purchase it from Apple;
Purchase a redemption code at the Online Apple Store: OS X Mountain Lion. Mountain Lion is $19.99 plus tax. Use the code to redeem a download of Mountain Lion from the App Store. The file is quite large, over 4 GBs, so allow some time to download. It would be preferable to use Ethernet because it is nearly four times faster than wireless.

I do not have any idea why it treats your XMLTYPE stored as CLOB like a XMLTYPE binary. From the doc, we read :
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B28359_01/server.111/b28321/ap_restrictions.htm#BABGIFEA
Unsupported Data Types for Capture Processes
A capture process does not capture the results of DML changes to columns of the following data types:
    *       SecureFile CLOB, NCLOB, and BLOB
    *      BFILE
    *      ROWID
    *      User-defined types (including object types, REFs, varrays, and nested tables)
    *      XMLType stored object relationally or as binary XML                   <----------------------------
    *      The following Oracle-supplied types: Any types, URI types, spatial types, and media types
A capture process raises an error if it tries to create a row LCR for a DML change to a column of
an unsupported data type. When a capture process raises an error, it writes the LCR that caused
the error into its trace file, raises an ORA-26744 error, and becomes disabled. For your support
