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 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.

    Shunhui.

  • 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 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.

  • Multiple DTP's in single process chain

    Hello BW guru's
    can we have many DTP's in a single process chain? If so, how can we do that?

    Krishna,
    You can have multipl DTP's in single process chain.
    Assume a scenario where you need to update from DSO to Multiple targets.
    If you want to run the DTP one after another use AND
    otherwise drag and drop the DTP and link it...

  • 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

  • Matser and trasactional data upload thru  a single process chain

    Hi,
    is it possible to automize  both master data and transactional data in a single process chain?i mean to say can we design a  process chain so that we can automize transaction and master data together?
    if yes, can any one send me the steps and process blocks?
    i have in master data one text and one hioerarchy and transactional data!
    Thanks,
    Ravi

    Hi Ravi,
    We can load the 2 types of Data through a Process chain.
    1. Create start variant.
    2. Drag n drop Execute Info Pack from left side panel ( Load Process and post Processing ). Slect ur text Info Package.
    Do the same and select Hier Info Package.
    Place all the Files on Application server AL11.
    3. Drag n drop Collection process AND
    4. Drag n drop Execute Info Pack from left side panel ( Load Process and post Processing ). Slect ur Transaction Data Info Package.
    5. Establish a connection between Master Data Info Packages and Transaction Data Info Packages using AND.
    By this ur specifying that load Master data first, if it is successful load Transaction data.
    6. Goto Start variant > Maintain Variant.  Schedule it according to ur time like when u want to start like Immediately / After Job / After Event.

  • How can u know the process chain total time, individual time?

    Hi guru's
    How can u know the process chain total time, individual time?
    and what options will available in sm37?
    Thanks
    prabha reddy

    Hi Prabha
    Iam not very sure about total time and individual times.
    But you can go to tcode rspcm for monitoring the daily process chains. it gives you details like 1. status  2.start date & time  3. Log ID  of each process chain.
    or you can go to log view of particular individual chain to know how long it has run.
    SM37: tcode for simple job selection.
    here you check the status of job.
    you can select for certain conditions like
    1. scheduled
    2. released
    3. ready
    4.active
    5. cancelled
    Assign points if it was helpful

    Hi Bhanu,
    I've doubt that what is the difference between cancel with core and cancel without core with respect to process chain.
    Could you please advice how do we start a process chain daily without using the schedular window for transaction data.

  • How to properly turn a process red within a Process Chain

    Hi,
    I am working in a program that will run within a process chain.
    There are some circumstances under which I need the program to fail, and the corresponding process to go RED, so the Process Chain will stop.
    I think the proper way to do this is by raising an exception, so I wrote some code for that. When debugging, I notice that the exception is raised, but the process goes GREEN, and the process chains does not stop.
    What is the proper way to stop the program, so the process goes RED?.
    This is the code I use to raise the exception.
      DATA oref TYPE REF TO cx_root.
      DATA text TYPE string.
      TRY.
        TRY.
          RAISE EXCEPTION TYPE CX_DEMO_CONSTRUCTOR
                EXPORTING MY_TEXT = SY-REPID.
          CATCH CX_DEMO_CONSTRUCTOR INTO OREF.
          TEXT = OREF->GET_TEXT( ).
          WRITE / TEXT.
          RAISE EXCEPTION OREF.
        ENDTRY.
        CATCH CX_DEMO_CONSTRUCTOR INTO OREF.
        TEXT = OREF->GET_TEXT( ).
        WRITE / TEXT.
      ENDTRY.

    Rollin,
    thanks for the tip.
    one question: how do I get the mandatory parameters for this?
    - Log ID of a Process Chain Run
    - Process Type
    - Process Variant (Name)
    - Process Instance (Value)

  • How find the trigger of a process chain ?

    Hello all,
    I working in BW 7.0 . The process chain existed before my arrival in society and unfortunately I have no documentation of interlinking process chains.
    I have a chain process which must start with an event. But the process chain does not start and I would find the job or the process chain that triggers this event.
    Thank you in advance
    Patrice

    Hi,
    Can u make it clear whehter the event triggers the chain or the chain triggers the event???
    Do u know at what time the event finishes/starts daily....??
    Take the timings either before/after and go to sm37-> give some previous(past) dates ->job name as BI_PROCESS_TRIGGER->select finished...
    Then u may get some jobs which are finished at that particular date and event....
    then go to that log->step->menu bar->go to->variant...
    here u'll get the technical name of the process chain..
    from here u can easily trace the chain in RSPC..

  • How to schedule infospokes in process chains..

    Hi All,
    I have a few infospokes to be scheduled in a process chain. In each infospoke, I have upto 10 jobs that are to be scheduled one after the other. At the end of these jobs I have to run a FTP script. I am new at creating the process chains. So can anybody help me out in letting me know:
    1. How to create a start process where I can select a given job by using its name
    2. How to run a FTP script as a follow up step on completion of a previous step.
    Thanks in advance
    John

    Hi John
    it a big task to explain all so I will try to give you the high level picture.
    1. process chain is easy to implement and learn.
       usually it is triggered either by a batch job or a
       batch job that fires an event.
    2. to call an OS (like Win or Unix) from the PC you can
       trigger an event from the end of the PC to call a
       ABAP program that will initiate an OS call.
       you use trx: SM69   - External Operating Sys Commands
       to set this call up.
    3. to implement an FTP you can do via a batch file with
       OS commands or by using free utilities (there are many of them).
    I hope it helps.
