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

HI ALL,

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 stop the process chain showing status as yellow but no process step

Dear Friends,
How to stop the process chain showing status as yellow but no process step is running in that process chain.
We have manually triggered the process chain for sales it finished successfully till load data but the next step is create index and DB statistics. Both of this steps are in unscheduled position only and no background job for this.
Please guide me.
Thanking you in advance.

Hi,
At times even I have faced this situation. During those times, running the Function module RSPC_PROCESS_FINISH by passing the right parameters came to my rescue.

How to stop/cancel Process Chain in BI 7.0

Hi,
Could you tell me how to stop/cancel a process chain that hangs with status yellow or green in BI 7.0? There was an easy option to do it in 3.x, but I cannot find a similar option in 7.0.
What happens is that at random our process chains hang at a certain variant with either yellow or even green status and do not proceed further. What happens is that in a couple of hours another pchain run occurs and it executes fine. Then again at random (might be the same day or the next day) the process chain hangs again. I think that all those "hanged" pchains pile up in the queue, so that it cause other future pchains to hang as well at some point. So, is there anyway to stop/cancel these zombie process chains when it stops at a particular event RSPROCESS in BI 7?
Thank you,
AG

Hi Frank,
Thanks for your reply. I have a few questions.
1)SM37 -->Kill Job
We cannot do that because the job has already finished.
2)SM50/sm66- ->Kill process
There are no hanged processes to kill
3)RSPC>Job Log>Make the process RED forecefully
How do you do that exactly?
4)RSPC>Process chain> main Menu"Remove from Scheduling" OR
5)se37-->RSPC_API_CHAIN_INTERRUPT
give RFC BW system name(technical) and process chain name(technical) - we can do this, but what exactly would it accomplish. Would it remove the process chain from any runs in the future or also any hanged ones in the past? An how is this step different from #4?
Thank you,

Steps 1 -3 stops the chain running in process
Steps 4-5 stops the chain AFTER the current job which is running is completed as sucessful or Failure by nature.
Rationale - 4-5
This function will only remove the jobs from schedule, which did not yet run. It will not kill running jobs, as this may leave the system in an inconsistent state, moreover killing processes is possible for synchronous processes only anyhow. This means, that there will be no errors with interrupted chains, which on the other
hand means an interrupted chain is not restartable. So for a running chain this function is intended to be an emergency break only. You can use it, however, to remove a scheduled chain from schedule, such that it does not start except by your product.

How to stop a process chain after the current running process

Hi experts,
I try to stop a running process chain, but only at the end of the current process load.
I try to unscheduled process chain : the job of the current process is killed and the process stop
I try to execute the programm rspc_process_finsh : same result.
Actually, I aim at waiting of the current process completion and stop the chain.
Thanks and regards,
Bobby

Hi all,
Thanks for answer.
If I resume the situation :
- Click on Unschedule process chain stop the current process. We have to change the status of the process in Yellow to Red.
- Go to sm37 to kill the job change the statut in red.
So there is no way to stop the running of a process chain only after the good or bad end of the last runnning process ?
Example :
My chain is running. The process which is running is a DTP loading process. There are 50 packages to load. I decide to click on Unschedule process chain when the package 18 is running.
If I do that, the loading of package 19 will not start right ?
So is there a way to wait that the 50 packages are loaded before that the system stop the chain ?
Thanks in advance,
Bobby.

Hi Virendra,
After start process , insert a node of abap program and insert program with following code .
Report zntest.
data : lt_attr like CASDAYATTr occurs 0 with header line.
CALL FUNCTION 'DAY_ATTRIBUTES_GET'
EXPORTING
   DATE_FROM                        = SY-DATUM

TABLES
    DAY_ATTRIBUTES                   = Lt_ATTr.
write : / lt_Attr-WEEKDAY_L.
read table lt_attr index 1.
if lt_Attr-WEEKDAY = '3' . "3 Stands for 3rd day of week i.e. Wednesday
message 'Process chains not to be run on wednesday' type 'E'.
endif.
Make sure that this ABAP program is linked to other processes only on "Success",
Hope that helps.

Stopping one process chain when another is running

Hi All,
We have two process chains which are inter dependent.
One process chain has to be scheduled hourly & another daily.
I would like to know the way to stop the hourly running process chain when the daily process chain is running.
& the daily process chain run time will be varying like 1-2 hours.
Please help me to solve this problem
REDDY

Hi,
You can do it.
1.Create one Table with Flag (Values 0 or 1), and give Table maintaince also in SM30.
2.Craeate one program to check the Table Flag = 0 or 1. If it is 0 then trigger Event then that event will trigger Hourly Process Chain. You need to schedule this Program Hourly. (Your Hourly PC wil work based on Events)
3. Craete Daily Process Chain, once it will start it will update teh Flag =1 then once it will reach the last node it will turn the flag = 0.
Start
    |
Update Flag = 1 in table (Program)
    |
Load data
    |
Update Flag = 0 in table (Program)
4. So every hour your program will run (in Step 2), it will check table Entry and trigger Event.
The code is like below
Report1.
IF Flag = 0 Then
*Raise Event
DATA: EVENTID LIKE TBTCJOB-EVENTID.
DATA: EVENTPARM LIKE TBTCJOB-EVENTPARM.
      EVENTID = 'ZEVENT1'.
      EVENTPARM = 'ZEVENTPARAM'.
CALL FUNCTION 'RSSM_EVENT_RAISE'
          EXPORTING
            I_EVENTID                    = EVENTID
            I_EVENTPARM                  = EVENTPARM
         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.
ELSE
Exit
endif
Note: It will Work try it. Don't forget to give SE30 access to table, because some time if you want to maintain Flag value manually, you required it.
Thanks
Reddy

How to stop the process chain

Hi Sapients,
I am loading the data from R/3 to BW through Process chain. Please let me know how to stop execution of the process chain.
Thanks
Mahi.

Hi Mahendra,
You have to stop the load in the source system if u r loading from R/3 System, for that use transaction SM50 or SM51 to kill the process.
Hope it helps. Assign points if helpful

How to stop threads, process, streams when closing a (internal) JFrame?

Dear all,
I read a Javaworld article about Runtime.exec(), which will output the process outputs and error outputs to either a file or System.out. Now I want to practice it by outputing the process output/error to a Swing JTextArea. It works fine if the process ends successfully.
My problem is that I want to stop all the output threads and clear all the streams when user click close JFrame button before the process finished. The code is shown below. Note that this frame is poped up by a click from another main frame. ( it is not exiting the main Swing application). This happened when I want to kill a process when it is running.
I tried to implements a WindowListener and add
public void windowClosing(WindowEvent e) to the JFrame.
Inside this method I used process.destroy() and errorGobbler = null, outputGobbler = null, or outputGobbler.interrupt(), errorGobbler.interrupt(). But all these seems does not work. Sometimes thread was not stopped, sometimes process was not destroyed (because the stream was still print out something), sometimes the error stream was not successfully closed - by printing out interruptted by user error message.
How can I make sure all the underlying streams and threads, including the PrintStream in StreamGobbler class are closed?
Again this Frame could be a Dialog or InternalFrame, i.e, when I close the frame, the main frame does not exit!
import java.util.*;
import java.io.*;
class StreamGobbler extends Thread
    InputStream is;
    String type;
    OutputStream os;
    StreamGobbler(InputStream is, String type, JTextArea out)
        this(is, type, null, out);
    StreamGobbler(InputStream is, String type, OutputStream redirect, JTextArea out)
        this.is = is;
        this.type = type;
        this.os = redirect;
    public void run()
        try
            PrintWriter pw = null;
            if (os != null)
                pw = new PrintWriter(os);
            InputStreamReader isr = new InputStreamReader(is);
            BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(isr);
            String line=null;
            while ( (line = br.readLine()) != null)
                if (pw != null)
                    pw.println(line);
                out.append(type + ">" + line);
            if (pw != null)
                pw.flush();
        } catch (IOException ioe)
            ioe.printStackTrace();
public class Test extends JFrame
    private JTextArea output;
    private StreamGobbler outputGobbler;
    private StreamGobbler errorGobbler;
    public Test (String file)
        super();
        output = new JTextArea();
        try
            FileOutputStream fos = new FileOutputStream(file);
            Runtime rt = Runtime.getRuntime();
            Process proc = rt.exec("java jecho 'Hello World'");
            errorGobbler = new
                StreamGobbler(proc.getErrorStream(), "ERROR", out);
            outputGobbler = new
                StreamGobbler(proc.getInputStream(), "OUTPUT", fos, out);
            errorGobbler.start();
            outputGobbler.start();
            int exitVal = proc.waitFor();
            output.append("ExitValue: " + exitVal);
            fos.flush();
            fos.close();
        } catch (Throwable t)
            t.printStackTrace();
     setSize(400,400);
     show();
}Thanks !

Thread.interrupt() doesn't stop a thread. You'll have to read the API for more specifics. You could use something like interrupt to force interruption of the thread for the reason of checking the terminating case though. I believe you would want to use this in the case where operations can take a long time.
Setting your reference to the thread to be null won't stop the thread since it's running. You just lose your reference to it.
I believe once the thread stops running your streams will be closed, but possibly not cleanly. Someone who has more knowledge of threads might be able to answer this better, but I would generally say clean up after yourself especially if you are writting out data.

How to stop a process chain tempararly

Hi
we have a process chain BI (7.0) which extracts data from R/3
scheduled everyday at 6AM. However, our basis team is
shutting down the R/3 server around this time for maintenance.
I want stop the process cain for this day and start regular
schedule the next day. Can some body please tell me the
steps involved in this process. we are using BI7
Thanks

hi srigant...
schedule your start process to run periodically (every day, hour, week...) at a particular time. If this schedule shall not be possible with the standard SAP scheduling, then schedule your start process to be fired "after event". Create an event in SM62. Then write an ABAP report raising this event with function module BP_ENVENT_RAISE. You can as well test this by raising your event manually in SM64.
so you need to write ABAP program for triggering an event based on the time and check condition...
hope it helps..

How to run change run in process chain when it fails

HI All,
How to run attribute change run in process chain when it fails. Give me the procedure with clear description. Is there is any difference with 3.x versions in running this.
Thanks,
Pratap Reddy

Hi Pratap.
If BI Accelerator is not being implemented by ur company, in that case if change run fails u'll proceed by 'Repeat' process option as usual we do in 3.x.
If BIA is exists, in this scenario u can not repeat as we do in 3.x. U have to drop the indexes on cubes effecting that change run and run the change runs. Once it is finished recreate BIA Indexes on cubes.
Warm Regards,
Ramki
