How to stop further processing of process chains

I have process chains running for quite sometime. At the last step i am loading to a ods. i want to stop the last step for some time.

I looked in process types i couldnt find any connectors

points will be assigned for inputs.

Hi Bhanu,
I tried doing the remove link, but when i am trying to activate the chain it is giving me a error saying no predecessor exists...which is true...

I should be able to activate the chain and let it run as usual without the last step

HOW TO STOP THE PROCESS CHAIN WHICH IS 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.

Different Ways to stop process chain
1)SM37 -->Kill Job
2)SM50/sm66- ->Kill process
3)RSPC>Job Log>Make the process RED forecefully.
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)
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.

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
   LANGUAGE                         = SY-LANGU
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.

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,
AG

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

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 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 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.

Can we stop the process chain in middle of the process ?

hi experts,
Can we stop the process chain in middle of the process after scheduled.
my process chain is like start--->load>psa>ods1-->further updates--->ods2. In this case I have already scheduled but i want to stop the process how can i. After rectifying the error I want to restart again.
if it is possible what are the steps we fallow pl give me step by step procedure.
thanks & regards.

stopping the process chain is pretty simple. you just need to kill the jobs associated to them as mentioned by other folks.
for restarting, have a look at this blog.

there he explains how to restart a stopped process chain.

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
