I have a problem in creating a Process Chain(PC).

Hi GURU's
I have a problem in creating a Process Chain(PC). The PC should run on first 3 business days of the month for six times i,e 6am, 7am,8am, 9am,10am,11am.
For this i have created 3 PC like BD1, BD2, BD3, and i selected the Factory calender provided workday 1, 2 , 3 and time for three chains.
Now should i schedule it for 6times in a day.
I tried creating a new job for one of PC's but i have to change the timings for every month (this is not the proper solution).
Please help me.

Hi Friend,
For the days part, you can create a new factory calendar with first 3 business days of each month only as working days.
Then in the scheduling -> Restrictions; you can mention that Factory Calendar id and select radio button for "Move job to next working day". Schedule the chain as Periodic "Hourly".
Then for the Time part -> You can insert process type "Decision between multiple alternatives" after the start variant.
After you insert this process type you can create a formula in it to check for system time. In the if condition check for system time i.e., whether it is between 6 - 11. If only the system time is between 6 AM to 11 AM only then the decision step would turn to green and go to the successor step in the process chain.
Process chain would be like:
Start variant -> Decision Step -> Rest of the chain.
So in short the factory calendar will take care of which days the chain will run and decision step will take care of the timings.

Problem in creating a Process Chain

Hi,
I am using BI 7.0. I followed the following steps to create a process chain:
1. Create Start Process
2. Create Process Variant
3. And once this is created and saved, I clicked on process types
4. I dragged and dropped the Execute InfoPackage to the right side
5. And here, when I click on F4, it says, No Data Selected.
I have lot of infopackages that are created in my Datawarehousing Workbench.
But I am unable to view them...please let me know, how do I go about solving them...would definitely assign points for the solution. Thanks in advance.
Thanks & Regards.

Hi Ganesh,
just go to your administrative workbench and select your info package and copy the technical name... and now go to your process chain.. now click on Execute info package process type.. -> in that search help.. you can choose find option and give your info package technical name..(which you copied ) and press enter..
you can able to find that info package.. and clcik on taht.. and press eneter..

Problem in creating the Process Chain

hi Guru's
my client want to run a process chain for first 3 business days of the month for every hour.
then i created a 3 Process chains say ex. A B C.
Now i use the conditions for Process Chain A is Date and Time
i have given the date and time,
Selected Periodic Job Option
-> From Period Values button selected other period and given 1 for every month, 1 for every hour,
-> Selected the Restrictions Button and given the factory calender and selected " Job not to run on holiday and sundays "
therefore the chain can run on every month for whole day based on Factory calender.
the same options used for PC's B & C
The problem is the process Chain A has ran only once it didnt ran for every hour.
In released job i can see the job frequency for every month and every hour...
Request you gurus to suggest.

Lajvanth

Creating a Process Chain

Hello
Now I have a task like creating a Process Chain for loading data into ODS object.I came to know that directly we can'nt create/delete index for ods objects in Process chain.For that we should write Abap code itseems.
Can any one help me out in this regard by writing a Abap code for this?
I need it very badly.
Regards
Balaji

Hi Balaji ,
Creating a secondary index is very simple. u can create in the change mode of ODS . U have a folder INDEXES ,right click on it and create a new one . System will propose. To see whether your indexes are active , Just go and check in SE11 ,give the active table name for ODS and in the screen u can find on the top tool bar INDEXES .Click on that and see your active indexes.
Hope it helps you to some extent.
Thanks,

Error while creating a process chain

Hello BI Gurus,
I have activated the Business Content Scenario in Plant Maintenance for Infocube 0PM_C08(Measurement Results).
It provides a datasource -> infocube flow,through DSO with transfer and update rules.(3.X scenario)
I have two questions -
1.When I am trying to create a process chain for this scenario for regular delta loads(Loading from the datasource - > DSO - > infocube),
Start - >Execute InfoPackage->Activate DSO Data ->
Then when i insert the Execute Infopackage for the load step from DSO to Infocube in the process chain and check it, it is giving an error saying "InfoPackage ZPAK_D50AJ26831X6L4IIOTZTSXWAE is generated; NOT able to be used as loading variant ".
I got this infopackage by right clicking on the context menu and going to Additional Functions -> Update 3.x data to Data targets.
Why am I getting this error and how to resolve it, bcos when i load it manually it is working fine?
2.If the error is because I did not use a infopack created by me, then how to create a infopack for loading to the infocube from DSO in BI7, because when i select from the Context Menu for creating infopack, it is taking me to the already generated IP ?
Also instead of using the 3.X mechanisms, if I decide to create a DTP, will the transformation created with it automatically map all the rules in the "Update Rules" for all fields?
Waiting for your guidance.
With Warm Regards,
Vineeth

Create the process chain

Hi all,
Can someone tell me if my steps are correct for creating the process chain for uploading from ODS into the cube.
Here are steps that I did:
1. created the 'full load' infopackage in the infosource for uploading from the Infosource into the ODS.
2. right click on ODS and select 'update ODS Data in Data Target' to upload into the cube (select 'init load').
3. create another 'full load' infopackage in the infosource and use it to create the process chain by pressing the 'process chain maintenance'.
Thank you.

Hi Sriram,
Thank you for resolving my doubt that the 'init load' and 'delta load' cannot be done in the same day.
Can you also answer me these few qustions?
1. If I have to create one infosource to assign the datasource 8xxxx,then how can I see it in the infosource list when I click on 'show generated ODS object before I create the infosource? Please explain.
2.I did click on Setting-> Display generated Object -> Show generated ODS object in RSA1 but I still cannot see the infosource 8xxxxxx in the list. Why?
3. How can I schedule the delta IP if I don't right click on and select "Update ODS to data targets "? Can you clarifiy it? ( not sure if you mean to select 'generate export datasourc')
4.in you last sentence, you said: run the delta IP in chain; do you maean use the delta IP to create the process chain?
Thank you.

Creating a Process chain for hierarchy under 0Cust_Sales: Attrib? Text? too

Hi,
I have a standard hierarchy under 0Cust_Sales which I need to create a process chain for so that this hierarchy will be updated from R3 on a daily basis.
What is normal to do in this case:
Create a
1. Create a process chain to load the Hierarchy under this 0Cust_Sales?
Or,
2. Create a process chain to load the Hierarchy and the Attrib?
Or,
3. Create a process chain to load the Hierarchy, the Attrib and Text?
What is the pros and cons of each choice?
Thanks

Hi,
Sorry for the confusion...yes I mean attributes by master data.
Do you load with master data for 0cust_Sales separately, before loading the Attrib, Text and Hierarchy (in order)?
attribute text and hieracrhy are the master data for 0cust_sales.
You load attributes first and then text and then hierarchy.This is not a rule but for the better control and understanding.
But keep a seperate chain for each along with the same grouping like all the attributes load together in same chain and text load together and hierarchy load together in other chains.
Since attributes change frequently and you need to reload it everyday therefore keep it separate
Hierachy may give you tough time with failures in process chains and will not change frequently so keep it separately in another chain.
You need to use an attribte change run (change run) after any new master data is loaded.
this is done to reallign the new SID'S created for the new master data object with that of cubes where they are used and affect these changes in the aggregates which are built on them.
So better put it after the three chains have run or atleast after the master data chain has finished.
Thanks

I have a problem with creating a node in the JTree

Hello All!
I have a problem when I try to create a new node in the JTree. If the parent node of the new node has any other children, I get following NullPointerException exception :

It seems to me, that path of creating node was not defined in the BasicTreeUI.
Note, if the parent node has no other children, the new node will be successfully created. How can I solve this problem? Help me, please!
I use java version 1.4.2-b28

Sorry, I forgot to show a piece of code, where I try to create a new node. This piece of code see above. "tree.scrollPathToVisible(path);" is a string, which throws an exception.

Help me to Create this Process Chain

Hi Gurus,
We have 3 Process chains,
1) Region 1
2) Region 2
3) Region 3
These three process chains were start at differt times and end time will depends upon the load of data. Now i want to do some manual calculations after the successful execution of this chains. So i have written three ABAP programs to do that calculations for 3 chains.
My scenerio is to create a new chain only so I have created a new chain with Start variant -> Decision variant -> 3 Program variants (For 3 chains)
Now i want to write the condition in decision variant to attach the respective program variants below it. ie,
Start -> Decision (Condition for successful execution of Chain Region 1) -> Program Variant 1
             Decision (Condition for successful execution of Chain Region 2) -> Program Variant 2
             Decision (Condition for successful execution of Chain Region 3) -> Program Variant 3
So i don know what exact logic to write in Decision variant...Please help me here...
Thanks & Regards,
Balaji.S

HAI ,
A process chain is a sequence of processes that are scheduled to wait in the background for an event. Some of these processes trigger a separate event that can, in turn, start other processes. It looks similar to a flow chart. You define the list of Infopackages / DTPs that is needed to load the data, say delta or Full load. Then you schedule the Process chain as hourly, daily, monthly, etc, depending on the requirement
process chains for which info providers ?? i mean to say... for cube or? DSO?
ok now below i explained for DSO... try it out it will work.. 100%
Step 1: Go to RSPC transaction. Click on Create. Give Process chain name and Description.
Step 2: Give the Start process name and description and click on Enter
Note: Each process chain should start with a Start Process
Step 3: The next screen will show the Scheduling options.
There are two options:
Direct Scheduling:
Start Using Meta Chain or API
In my example I have chosen Direct Scheduling as I am processing only one chain i.e DSO. Click on u201CChange Selectionsu201D
In the below screen shot, you can give the scheduling details i.e the Immediate, Date& time etc. and click on SAVE
The Screen shot below indicates that we have started the process.
Step 4:
Click on the icon process types as shown in the below figure. You will get a list of options.
In my example I am scheduling for DSO. To process we need to have InfoPackage, DTPu2019s for the corresponding DSO
Open the tree Load Process and Post Processing, We need to drag and drop u201CExecute InfoPackageu201D
Step 5: Once you drag and drop the u201CExecute infopackageu201D we get the below Popup. We need to keyin the Infopackage name. To do this click on F4 and chose your Infopackage and click on ENTER
Step 6: Save + Activate and Execute the Process.

Step by Step method to create a process chain in SAP BI

HI There,
I'm new to SAP BI, can anyone pleas explain me why we need to use Process Chains in a simpler way?
Also it would be great if someone can give me step by step description for creating process chain. I've seen couple of PDF files but they confusing me more then clearing my doubts. Appreciate your time and thanks in advance.
Vandana
Please search the forum before posting a thread
Edited by: Pravender on May 4, 2011 3:57 PM

Hi Vandana,
1.Go to RSPC tcode ->(F5) create ->It will ask for process chain name ->then it will ask for start variant
2.If you have no start variant pre created then create new one (at right side there will be a paper symbol for that ).Every process chain has one and only one start variant that is to set scheduling option etc .When you will create a new one you will go to a screen where you have scheduling option .
3.a) Direct scheduling ->to start execution immediately
b) start using meta chain or API ->chains which run at specific time (day ,month etc or after some specific event ). save your settings and go back .click check symbol for final creation of start variant.
4.Now at left screen you have chain symbol (process types) .when you will click on that you will have all the process lists .
5.You can select process as per your requirement and connect different processes together.Each process is a different event (ex : load DTP ,Infopackage ,ABAP program ,AND ,Interrupt ).You cna do detailed study for that .
6.After adding all processes activate (ctrl+F3) and execute .
7.After that you can check logs (shift+F1) .you can see todays log ,yesterday and today etc .For details of every process execution right click on process and see display variant .
Hope this will be helpful for basic startup.you can further read thoroughly on each process .
Regards,
Jaya

Problem with loading in process chain

Hello all,
I've a problem with my process chain. There are few loading packages that are suppose to start together. Problem is, I guess, not enough processes to start them all together. What happens is that some start loading where others "wait". In SM50 I can see all processes are taken. When the loading of the first pacakages is finished (and I can see processes available in SM50)
I'm expecting the load of the waiting packages would start, but nothing happens and the process chains stucks!
The infopackage load gets a yellow color, and stays that way, no cahnges , and no start of process, can someone help? anyone encountered that before?
Thank you,
Yoav Ophek.

Hi,
Monitor the InfoPack Loads through the T-Code RSMO.
When u select a Job, go to EnvironMent ->tRFC -> In Source System / DataWarehouse, and check if there are any Stuck tRFC's due to which the loads are stuck.
I do not see any other reasons why the Loads would be stuck.
Also check ST22 for any Short Dumps occurred for that time.
SM21 for Job Overview.
And check what else could have been the problem for not loading the InfoPackages.
Hope it helps,
Pradip Parmar
