I want to kill a particular process chain from a meta chain..

Hi All,
I want to kill a particular process chain from a meta chain as, its having some technical issues.So what is the procedure.to handle this process..
Thanks..

follow these steps
1.Go to the chain which you want to kill .
2.Go in the log view->top menu bar execution tab.>Remove from schedule.
you are done
Another way (bit complex but will work )
1.Go to the process chain running (which you want to kill) in the log view copy the logid (lef hand side of screen you can get that)
2.Open a new session ,Go to se37 enter function module RSPC_PROCESS_FINISH -->execute it
3.Now again go Log view of the process chain right click on the start variant>display messages>Chain tab
copy the variant ,instance ,date time etc
4.IN execution screen of RSPC_PROCESS_FINISH enter the variant,instance,data time,logid and Type=TRIGGER
status = R.
Actually you will see something like this in input screen
I_LOGID -
>from log view in RSPC
I_CHAIN
I_TYPE   -
>TRIGGER for start variant
I_VARIANT----
>from log view in RSPC
I_INSTANCE------>from log view in RSPC
I_STATE     -
>R
I_EVENTNO                       00
I_HOLD
I_JOB_COUNT
I_BATCHDATE   -
>from log view in RSPC
I_BATCHTIME                     00:00:00
I_DUMP_AT_ERROR
Thats all and your are done.
But I would suggest Remove from Schedule will surely work....If you have any doubts let me know.

Stopping local chain from the meta chain

Hi ,
Can any one let me know is there any option to stop a local chain from the meta chain....
I have a meta chain in which 13 local chains are there.
In those 13 chains i want to stop one particular chain ,but i dont want to delete that local chain from the meta chain.
and below this local chain another dependent chain is also there.
which will start execute after that chain(which i want to delete)irrespective of the status whether the above chain is pass or fail.
can any one help me in this regards
Thanks in advance.

No, you cannot . The best solution I have is to change the local chain to bypass all activity in the local chain. This way the meta chain will run but nothing will happen within the local chain and the meta chain will continue to the next local chain.
Hope this helps.
PS- Another idea, change the meta chain and replace the local chain with an ABAP program which will execute the local chain (use FM RSPC_CHAIN_START). Then you can change the ABAP program to decide whether or not to execute the local chain.

How to check the parent process chain of a meta chain

Hello Friends,
Recently I joined a new project, which is of environment BW 3.0. I am trying to find the dependent process chain's parent, but could'nt able to find them. I went through all the process chains manually to check whther the dependent process chain is mentioned in them, but could'nt find any......
Can any of you help me to know how to find the parent process chain of a meta chain ?
I really appreciate your time, will be awarding points to any answers.......
Thanks,

Hello Radhan,
thanks for your quick reply. I searched the table based on your advice, but i could'nt get the parent process chain's name. Can you throw some more ideas please..........
Thanks,

Meta Chain in a meta chain

Hi Folks,
I have one meta chain which has master data loads local chains and then has an atrib change run and then a Transaction data meta chain in it.
The transaction data meta chain has many local chains. After the first two local chains, theres an AND condition and then the next set of local chains are scheduled.
Problem is that after the AND, the next set of local chains are not triggered. I have included preceeding event based triggers as scheduling paramters.
Why does the next set of local chains stop? Is it normal to have meta chains inside meta chains?? And have u come across a unknown job that gets created named BI_PROCESS_TRIGGER in case of event based triggering??
Thanks in advance
Regards
Prakash

Hi Prakash,
Meta chain in a Meta chain will work most of the times. Very rarely does it give problems. When ever we have a similar problem as you have described. We go into each meta chain and trigger them manually for that day. Once the chains are all run. We Deschedule the Entire Main chain, check if there are any released jobs for each Meta Chain/process steps, delete these released jobs. Then we activate and schedule the Main chain, this resolves our problem and the chains runs without issues the following days.

Praveen.

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.

Failed meta chain maintenance in Process chain in SAP BI

Hi all,
I have a Process chain having the meta chain of master data population.When successful , proceeds with the further steps in process chain. It has been scheduled in midnight.
After monitoring the PC , found the error in the master meta chain , so i repeat the step.
Here , after success of meta chain all steps gets running down the line till the end step in PC.
I do not want to re-run the steps below meta chain after repeat step.
Any Ideas to ignore the re-run ??

Hi,
If your Process is still running(Yellow color status) then right click it and go to Schduled Jobs. On this you will go to Job Overview there you can press STOP.
Else go to the SM37, there you can go and select your process using your process ID and STOP it.
And if you want to kill the complete process chain then go for Remove from Schedule.
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.
Hope this helps you.

Killing a plink process

Hi all. I'm using putty (more precisely PLink.exe) to establish a secure SSH connection with a server for a LV application I'm building.
I can successfully call plink using the System Exec function. However, I can't work out a way to kill it afterwards. The application will need to close the session of plink and relaunch it occassionally with different configurations. But to do this I need to close the running session before i can relaunch it. System Exec.vi does not return a useable reference for the plink session to allow any kind of control over it, so I can't, for example, send a "CTRL-C" to the session to kill it.
Anybody know of a way to kill a running process called by System Exec?
Can I get a list of running processes somehow, and search for 'plink', then 'kill' those identified sessions?
Any help will be most appreciated!

(spell checked version!)
Thanks for the optimistic outlook RayR
I've had to reach a compromise, and this is what I've done (for anyone whose interested):
For each occasion when I want to launch plink, I first make a local copy of the executable with a slightly different name (something like plinkaa.exe for example).
When I launch it with System Exec I set the function flag Wait Until Done to false to make sure I'm not hanging around for it to finish (cos it won't), and this launches plink as plinkaa.exe, which is very likely to be a unique name.
Later, when I want to kill the relevant process, I generate a list of running process names and IDs using the .NET extensions found in the NI example (LabVIEW 8.5\examples\comm\dotnet\SimpleTaskMonitor).
I search the name array for plinkaa (no .exe suffix!), and use the index result to find the process ID from the ID list array. Then I use a similar .NET property node to kill the process (scroll down the property list and you'll see KILL). This kills the specific plink process.
Not very professional, but it does the job. And as long as you pick a relatively unique name (but not so obscure that a user would panic if they saw the process in Task Manager should they go looking) then there's very little chance that the process you are killing is anything but the one you launched.
I'd welcome any input from anyone regarding improvements to this? A way to call WinAPI.dll to launch an executable and return the process ID perhaps??

Local Chain Multiple times in a Meta Chain

Hi,
I have a scenario in which I have to call the same local chain multiple times in a Meta Chain.
The system is not allowing me to add the same local chain in my meta chain more than two times.
System is throwing the below message:
Diagnosis
The link that you made between process CHAIN ZREBATE_LOAD and process CHAIN ZREBATE_LOAD is a reverse connection, because process CHAIN ZREBATE_LOAD already precedes CHAIN ZREBATE_LOAD in the chain.
System response
This kind of connection is not supported.
Procedure
Schedule a copy of process CHAIN ZREBATE_LOAD behind CHAIN ZREBATE_LOAD.
Can anyone tell if there is a way to call the same local chain multiple times in a meta chain WITHOUT making a copy of the local Chain?
I understand that if I make a copy of my local chain it will allow me to add it multiple times in the meta chain.
Useful tips will be awarded by points.
Thanks,
AT

Hi Siggi,
I did not know that promising points is against the rules..Sorry about that.
It is just that I see every other thread has that line at the bottom (unfortunately never saw anyone get a bashing on that)....will keep it in mind.
Well, coming to what I am trying to achieve...here is the scenario:
I have a chain where a table is being read and the data gets loaded for the quarter date in that table (table has quarter dates in it e.g.: 01012007 to 03312007). At one point the table has ONLY one entry for one quarter.
Now, the requirement is to load data data for two years (i.e. 8 quarters).
In order to automate, I have written a small program to update that table with the dates of next quarter. I have added this program as the last step in my chain.
Now, I have created a meta chain in which I want to call my local chain (8 times) so that all the quarters get loaded automaticaly.
I am able to call my local chain 2 times in the meta chain and it works exactly the way I want it to run. However, system is not letting me add my local chain more than 2 times.
I am getting the message that I mentioned in my thread.
I understand that if I make 8 copies of my local chain, the system will allow me to add those 8 chains in my meta chain.
My question is if there is a way to add a local chain multiple times (say 8 times) in the same meta chain WITHOUT making copies of the local chain.
Thanks very much.

How to fetch oracle process id from a stored procedure.

Hi,
I want to fetch the oracle process id from within a stored procedure.
I know that the one way to do this is using the v$process view. But, a grant has to be given to the user on this table. Due to the strict policies at my workplace, I do not have the permission to do this, nor can i ask anyone to give the grant. But, i need the oracle pid very much.
Is there an alternate way to get the oracle process id from within the stored procedure (without using the v$process view, like we have sys_context() to fetch session id without using v$session) ?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
AP

Hi,
The point is i do not want to use v$process ( or v_$process) ,because i can not give the select grant to the user on this view. ( As i need to fetch it from a stored procedure, not from the SQL prompt).
Rahul , your query is correct. It fetches the values ( though i needed oracle process id not unix pid ; i would get it through p.pid), but i need an alternate approach to this.
Is there an alternate approach which would enable me to fetch the oracle process id ( without using any of the V$ - system views) ? Does Oracle has such a feature /approach ?

How can I find corresponding meta chain in RSPC

Hello Gurus,
I have a local process chain, how can I find corresponding meta chain in RSPC? and also I have already created a process chain, How can I changed the name of this process chain?
Many thanks,

Hi,
Basically all chains are same, but if you click on Start it will goto Start Process Screen there you can find Scheduling Options, in that Direct Scheduling is selected so it is Main Chain (Meta Chain), if it is Starting using Meta Chain API is selected then it is local chain in that meta chain.
Note: Basicall all Chains are same based on above differnecce you can find it.
By Looking at Chain we can decide it is it Meta chain or Norma Chain, if you open RSPC and then Open any Chain If it is having
Start-->Local , then it is Meta Chain and Local is Norma Chain.
Thanks
Reddy

META CHAIN

HI EVERY ONE,
can any one give the idea on metachains.
thanks in advance
chandu guduru

Hi ,
normally we have many process chain for respective domain.
like MM master data PC , MM text PC and MM transacation etc.
u comine that all Pcs into 1 Main PC that know as Meta Chain.
Also performance point of view we should have 2 to 3 Process chain into 1 Meta chain.
Hope this would help u .
Cheers

Transport collection for meta chain

Hi all,
I had a meta chain which carries 4 master chains.
now we made change in the order ( before order 1-2-3-4 changed order 1-3-4-2) of the 4 master chains in the Meta chain.
collected the meta chain and transported to test system but the changes are not reflecting in Test system.
could any one please tell, what are all i need to collect to transport the meta chain with new chains.
regards
sandy

Hi,
You only needed to collect the meta chain and not the other one's, if your transport was successfull then simply goto your target system open the chain in change mode and you will see the changes. Simply activate that chain and it'll be perfect.

How to identify whether that particular process chain is active or not?

Hi all,
How to identify whether that particular process chain is active or not ?
thanxs
haritha

If see the process chain then it will not be greyed out if it is active. Or else check in these tables.
RSPCCHAIN
RSPCCHAINT
to check the logs
RSPCLOGS
RSPCPROCESSLOG
Give the chain name and check in the object version.
