How to trigger a local process chain to run manually

Dear Experts,
In my company, I have a Daily process chain.
In this Daily process chain, it contains many other local process chains which are grouped by modules.
For example, I have created the following 3 process chains:
- Accounts Receivables Process Chain which contains all the required process for loading FIAR data.
- Accounts Payables Process Chain which contains all the required process for loading FIAP data.
- Inventory Process Chain which contains all the required process for loading Stocks data.
These 3 process chains are scheduled one after the other in the main process chain which is called Daily Process Chain.
FIAR needs to be successful before FIAP can run and Inventory chain will run only after FIAP is successful.
Normally it runs without any problems.
But recently, when the previous chain is successful, the next process chain does not get triggered to run.
In the end, I have to manually execute the remaining process chains to start running.
With this, all data are loaded, but the Daily Process Chain status for the day is yellow because it is not complete.
Is there a program or method which I can execute or use to trigger the process chain to continue to run in the Daily Process Chain? If there is, please let me know so that I can avoid having to run the process chains manually one by one.
Thanks in advance for your help.
Regards,
Shunhui.

How to trigger a single Process Chain within a Metchain

Hi All,
I had a couple of failures in the overnight dataloads. I need to trigger just 1 process chain within the daily metachain. I do not want the subsequent chains to be triggered.
The variant on this process chain is set to 'Start Using Metachain or API' I am aware that I need to change this to 'Direct Scheduling' and immediate and then execute. I need to ensure however that the subsequent chains are NOT triggered.
Many Thanks BI Experts!
Michelle

Hi,
you can goforward making it to immediate schedule as you said.
Also after your chain completes execution make it back to start using metachain.
I faced the same scenario and did this step and next daily load was succesful .
Also going forward this way will not trigger the subsequent chains.
Thanks & Regards,
Vishnu

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....

How to change local process chains job priority to A?

hi experts,
there are process chains are running in BW production system.
for independent process chain when i forcefully change JOB PRIORITY from C to A last night it was executed successfully with PRIORITY A, but whereas i have meta chain in that there are some local process chains, though i forcefully change the JOP PRIORITY in PRODUCTION TO A, still those local chains were executed with JOB PRIORITY C only.
Can you tell me the reason and solution to change the local process chain as well with JOB PRIORITY A.
The metachain with JOB PRIORITY shows my userid, and the local chains shows BW_USER id.
Regards

Check what's job priority for particular cube in TA RSRT->double click on your chain->menu Process chain->Attributes->Job Priority. Via this you can set priority as you need.

R3 job completion trigger a process chain to run on BW

Hello,
I was wondering how I can trigger a process chain to run on BW 3.5 after a SM37 job completes on R3?
I have been searching the forums and the web, but I haven't found what I am looking for.
Thanks,
Nick

Hello Pramod,
I would need a more detailed suggestion to implement, but thanks for starting the discussion.
I thought it would be as easy as this
1. Create an event in BW
2. Have a process chain that starts when that event is raised.
Having implemented and successfully tested steps 1 and 2, the rest should be simple (I was able to raise the event on BW locally and the chain did run as expected)
3. On R3, create a small ABAP program that calls the BP_EVENT_RAISED Function Module on R3.
4. Pass that Function Module the following parameters
A. My BW system name, and
B. The event name that I created on my BW system
5. Add that ABAP program to the end of the job on R3.
It doesn't work though! The event i created on BW, doesn't seem to exist from R3's perspective. I was hoping it was as easy as that. Hopefully I am missing something simple, but so far R3 does not want to cause the event on BW to be raised.
Thanks,
Nick

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.

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
For more information on how to infospoke on 3rd party pls find the link below

Local process chain is failing and i want to run its successor chain

Hello All,
I have a query regarding process chain, which is :
I have a metachain, in which some local chains are existing.
If suppose local process chain 2 is failing and i don't want to run that i want to run local process 3 directly
(which is successor of chain 2 ).
What should i do?
Regards,
Dolly

Hi,
You can trigger the process chain as below:
Go to TC SE37 -
> use function module RSPC_CHAIN_START -
> execute -
> put your process chain's technical name in variant I_CHAIN -
> Execute -
> specify job priority

Local Process chain getting failed

Hi All,
My local process chain is getting failed due to the following error.
"Job started
Step 001 started (program RSPROCESS, variant &0000000068733, user ID ALEREMOTE)
Start process CHAIN EC_EW_M_COMPLAIN_ZMTCOCR1 in run 1HN75DVW2PG2WFU98WGFIXOGV of chain EC_EW_M_TRAN_L1
Communication buffer deleted from previous run F0CDWKC96L0O0D8NQBGVHYK9R (status X)
Chain Is OK
No job found
Job cancelled after system exception ERROR_MESSAGE"
How to resolve this issue?
Thanks,
Sathya

Hi
Communication buffer deleted from previous run F0CDWKC96L0O0D8NQBGVHYK9R (status X)
This means, the previous step is completed and system should get the status as G(green), but in above system got this as X(Deleted). That's why system unable to start the next process(your local chain).
I don't think, this is an issue with background processes.
try to repeat the step once again and monitor the display messages, if you get same error again check process type before this local chain.

Venkatesh

Local process chain used in Meta chain

Hi,
Suppose there is a Local process chain (X), and in it has scheduling options "Start using meta chain or API" selected. How can I know which meta chain is using this local chain.
Something similar functionlity of "Where used list" which can give a list of meta chains where this local process chain (X) is used.
Thanks.

Hi Lohana,
I think there no such functionality.
Local chains means just you are calling from some other chain. But that it self a process chain. You are just linking in the chain through Local mode.

Local Process Chains

HI Guys,
I am in the process of designing the process chains for data loading. I have a situation where I am planning to use local process chains in the meta chain. Situation is like this:I have created Meta Chain for Master Data loading, which is having 2 local process chains, one is for Attributes and another is for loading texts. I placed them in the sequential order. First Attributes chain and on successful completion of Attribute chain it should run the Text process chain. But in the system it executes the Attribute chain successfully but the text process chain is always in the YELLOW( in progress ) state even though in that process chain I have only start process. In the SM50 it shows two background process with the user id ALEREMOTE, but process chain never finishes. In the Messages of the Text process chain I see the message"Communication buffer delted from the previous run ".
So I put the process chains in the parallel manner, meaning after start process of Meta chain I attached the two process chains so that they should execute simultaneously. But in this case too, Attribute local process chain gets executed but not the Text local process chain.
We tried debugging the process in SM50, it seems that there is some infinite loop.
If anybody has any clue then please reply back at your earliest. Your help is highly appreicated,
Thanks.
Santosh Taware

first point, i think you can have single process chian for both attributes and texts one after other.
second thing check in st22 if any dumps are occuring and check in the monitor in which step it is still running.
reward if helps.

How to create document in process chain

Hi,
can u plz tell me how to create document in process chain and wat i need to edit the text for particular info package when document.

Hi Anil,
Goto Tcode:RSPC and select your load data process type where you have to right click on the process chain and select Select create message,there are three types of messages
1>Successful
2>Error
3>Always
If you already created message then go to maintain message
Where you have two buttons
1>is for Edit Document
2>Maintain Recpiants
Goto Edit Document and put your comment and set their mail address in Mail recipiants.
Note there are 2 types of messages you can kept at execution of infopackage process type.
If load is successful send the mesaage to recipients
If load is failed send the message to mail recipt.
It would help you.

ABAP Program for set local process chain failed

I would like to execute ABAP Program in local process chain. If the condition is in the pre-defined bussiness rule, local process chain is set to fail.
Currently I use ABAP and Raise Message Error = Message Type E for cancel program. After program is cancelled, local process chain don't know its status, wait for job SAP_CCMS_MONI_BATCH_DP to determine status of process chain and then further execute subsequent process.
I 'm not sure that our solution is right or not about set process chain to fail via ABAP. Please suggest us if there are other solution to set process chain as failed.

Hi.
Plz see my answer to similar question in [this thread|Re: Manage a message at the end of process chain on Web planning Application].

How to setup process chains to run during office times every 30 minutes

I want to set up a process chain to run only during 8 am to 6 pm MST every 30 minutes. How do I do such a setting in the process chain?
Regards
Ram

Hello,
You can do this by creating a daemon chain which runs once every 30 mins and triggers a event.
You can use the event triggered by the daemon chain in the start variant of the PC which you require to run every 30 mins.
But before doing that, make sure that one run of your process chain completes definetly in 30 mins.
Let me know if you are looking for additional information.
Cheers,
MS.
