Info Package in Process Chain - Performance Issue

Dear All,
We have some Info Package in Process Chain which when triggered initially turns red, then again yellow, after sometime red/green. These status keeps changing and finally results in green status. These infopackage takes 15-30 mins to complete.
And the info package error message shows "Processing time overdue". The chain runs daily and this issue also occurs on a daily basis.
Does anyone one of you have an idea of how to deal with this performance issue?
Regards.

Hi
As you said--
"initially time out time was set to 10 mins, so it was turning red at 10 mins. Later i changed it to 30 mins, then it is turning red at 30 mins, this info package takes maximum 20 mins to complete.
thatsy i asked whether there will be any problem if we remove this time out time."
I guess, its not mandatory to include the timeout value. Just try to execute the IP without entering the timeout value.
It should work.
Let me know if this helps.

Info package in process chain

Hi experts,
I want to create process chain and have created a start process
variant.Now i want to include info package. I drag and dropped the
infopackage and tried to give the infopackage name but it is showing
that there are no infopackages in the bi system. I clicked on
create, a new session of bi system is opened.When i tried to drag
and drop the other objects like dtp it is showing all the dtps in bi
system.
Anyone please explain me how to include info package into a process chain.
Full points will be assigned.
Thanks & Regards,
V N.

Hi Beekay,
Thanks for the reply.
Points assigned.
Please clarify one more doubt.
Normally all say that Inventory data loading is different from other data
loadings. Can i know how and please give me a step by step
procedure for that. I have the data sources as 2lis_03_bf and
2lis_03_um.
Cheers,

Status of Info packages and process changes become yellow after Unicode con

Dear Friends,
We have been facing very critical issue in Production system after Unicode conversion.
Sequences of Details are provided for your reference.
1. We suspended all BW loads for 48(2 days) hours before Unicode starts and Handover the BW system to Basis.
2. Basis started doing Unicode conversion on BW and they found some standard jobs ( BI_* , Ex: BI_PROCESS_LOADING) which are released status and they assumed that these jobs would run any time so that they suspended all of them but they didnu2019t inform to BW team that they had done. We didnu2019t know that when they did that like pre-Unicode installation, during the Unicode conversion and post Unicode.
3. Basis handover the system to BW team for Unicode testing (we called five finger testing) and we didnu2019t find any issues in the testing. Again we handover the system to Basis for post installations settings for Unicode and back up things. That time we didnu2019t release any jobs to load data to BW because Basis didnu2019t inform us that we can start loads.
4. After post installation is done and basis told us that you can start loads from Monday. Entire Unicode activity had been done on weekend.
5. Before releasing all BW loads to run regularly, I found the all completed process chains status become yellow and I did further detailed analysis to find why; then found some more strange things those are as follows.
          1. Only info packages in process chains are become yellow and other process variants are fine like activation,
               DTPu2019s, index and DB stats.
          2. Requests in PSA which were completed successfully are become yellow.
          3. Info packages in the process chains are successfully completed are not updating correct status instead of green it
              showing yellow because of that other dependent objects are not triggering.
We all thought that suspension of standard jobs must have been caused the problem.
How can we change the status of IPs, PSA and process chains automatically?
We reactivate all PCu2019s and released to run tomorrow.
Could you please share your thoughts about the issue and help us resolve?
Thanks in Advance,
Nageswar.

Nageswar,
A couple of questions :
1. If your previous PC runs were in yellow status - it would not impact furute PC runs..
2. If your IPAKs are in yellow - then you might have an issue with deltas happening since the last status would have been shown as incomplete.
3. Suspension of the standard jobs will not affect the status since the jobs were suspended but not the actual loads i.e the loads were not stopped halfway but only the released jobs were stopped - you might have to schedule the process chains again to get back the old schedule.
Usually in a Unicode conversion - the data is exported out of the DB and imported back - this might have caused some inconsistency in the database for the RS tables used for the monitors.
Which version of BW are you in ..?
were there any errors in the export / import procedure for unicode conversion ?
As part of testing did you check if loads went through properly ..?
Was stats run on the tables after unicode ?
Also if possible regenerate all the indices on the files.
Rerun stats and indices for all RS* tables

Scripts, Packages and Process Chains

All,
Is the best practice to create each individual process chain for each script logic file or create one and use it for all the scripts? If I execute 2 scripts at the same time, will I encounter any locking issue?
Let's say I have Script1.LGF and Script2.LGF to perform to different activities. If I link it using the same process chain with Run logic, will the Script2.LGF execution file if Script1.LGF executes?
Thanks for your inputs.

Hi,
Yes I agree. Too many process chains would add to your maintenance. You could have once process chain and modify the dynamic script of each package you create in a such a way that they run the logic assigned to them.
If you are running the packages that are writing the same data region, you would come across concurrency data locks.
You could also check the usage of package links in your case, as you could group the packages to run one after another. (Example: Import the data from a flat file, Run the currency conversion and Run the lite optimizatio etc.) This is just an example, you could have your DM packages in the sequence driven by your business
Thanks

Process chain tranporting issue

Hi,
I have creaeted a process chain and it is working fine in Development.
Now I have created a transport request in Transport connection and collected the relative objects (like Infopacakges, DTPs ,Varients etc)and released it to Quality..
Now in Quality..
I )..I could not see the chain in Display mode.. Once I turn to Change, I can see it.
2) Everything is transported correctly. But there are duplicated in DTPs. Each process has duplicate DTPs..
I dont know where I am wrong. This is my first time transporting Process chains...
Thanks in advance
Manu

Hi Arun,
... But my client wants to be transported without any changes in Quality and Production. As per the requirement it has to be transported.
also Please write in detail....I did not understaand your first sentence..
my issues are:
1. It is showing 2 DTPs in Quality ..actually it should be one
2. Process chain not visible in Display mode.. only Change mode it is visisble...
Thanks
Manu

Process chain transport issue: variant

Hi xperts!
I've an issue regarding incomplete transports of process chain variants.
I've maintained the variant description & the recipient list.
When the request is imported in QAS, I'm missing the details of the variants. QAS-table RSPCVARIANTT is empty regarding type MAIL.
In addition the recipients 've not been imported too.
How can I transport the missing settings?
Pls. give an advice. Txs a lot in advance.
Hermann

Hi,
would suggest you to go by this..
in the RSPC t-code go to the chain you want to transport and activate each step and sub chain if any...firsy and store it in a temporary request ....and then click on the truck button the top.....it will take you to the transport connection and there you can see obnjects are still in temp TR.
delee these TR now refresh the window of transport connection and you will see that it's not present in any TR now.
once done just select the main chain and then again create TR.
this time you can see it contains all the objects.
try to keep only necessary objects and delete all the unwanted objects from that.
Thanks

Process chain performance

Hi Experts
Process chain deletion and creation of indexes takes almost 30 mins even cube got loaded 100 records.
When compared to last month,this month time consumption of index processing drastically increased,cube has only 5 lakhs record,delta will fetch maximum of 20000 record.In PC can i drop the create and delete index steps,what could be the impact.
Thanks and regards
T.Gadhatharan

Hi,
Chk the time taken by this process chain for last 15 days and observe whether the increase in time of Indexes process has been gradual or sudden ?
Goto RSRV> All elementary tests > Database > Database indeces of an infocube and aggregates give the tech name of infocube and execute , chk the log and see if theres error then inform the concerned team about the issue.
Also, If u have authorisation to se14 , check the status of data base object status of the table by clicking on check button. Also u can check the status of indexes by clicking on Index > choose the index name from the list by double clicking > chk object log. If theres any inconsistency then it can identified from here and seek the help of basis team for the necessary correction.
Regards

Process Chains Performance

Hi Experts,
We have some Process Chains that require in total a running time 6h30min (Data Loading, DSO activation, ... etc).
We enhanced our system with patchs and support Packages, the time of running time was reduced to approximatively 6h00.
For administration reasons, this time must be reduced to maximum 4h30.
Do you think that is possible to achieve this goal?
If possible, according to your experience. Please, how can we do? what are your advices?
I found an interesting link but not fairly detailed, here the link (may be useful to others)
http://www.tli-usa.com/download/TipsTricks_and_Techniques_for_OptimalUseofProcessChains.pdf
Many thanks.
Best regards.
Amine

Hi,
For time saving in Process Chain, you first need to identiy which step is taking more time. some things that you can do in general are;
load data targets in parallel - independent flows can put in parallel legs of PC. Depending on the background processes available on the server, you can increase the Parallel legs.
Cube index deletion - delete the cube indexes before loading data and generate again after loading
see if any particular load is taking time and if it has routine - routines can be tuned so that data load runs faster
see if some full load can be converted into delta load
see if you some loads which can moved into a seperate PC like - text loads, hierarchy loads
check if some loads (e.g. Master Data loads) can be moved into weekly chain

Process Chain schedulin issue

hi .
When scheduling Process chain to run periodically on daily basis we found an issue. If process chain is scheduled to run daily at 00:00:10 from 2/8/07 onwards.It's released the job at 00:00:10 from 3/8/07.
It means it's moving job to next day from schedule date when it is scheduled to run between 00:00:10 to 01:45:00
If we schedule it to run daily at 01:50:00 from 2/8/07 then it's releasing job at same date and time which is correct?
Is it because of any Basis setting

Hi Rupesch
This happen sometimes when you activate for the first time the chain, I m not sure why, but we had the same issue in our 7.0
Anyway, you can solve that, after you schedule your chain, go to your start variant,/see "all jobs" / and change the job from sm37.
Hope this help you

Process chain performance criterias ?

Hi SDNers:
I have a list of process chains (jobs) and I'm supposed to prepare a document with the system performance test approach on these jobs ...
Here is what I'm looking for :-
<b>What are the criterias for selecting a job for performance testing ?</b>
has anyone done something similar. Pls let me know if you have some documents or tips on it
Thanks in advance for your help
PS: I will reward points for all helpful answers

Procss chain performance is purely organizational specific and depends on number of factors such as:
1. hardware confifuration.
2. Database configuration and settings.
3. No of application servers.
4. No of background processes.
5. No of simultaneous processes that run when the proces chains run.
6. Complexity of the logic in the routine while loading data ; update rules / transformations, etc.
7. NO of jobs that run inside the process chains.
If you have any specific question, shoot out.

How deep can a package be? any performance issue?

Hi experts,
Is there any performance issue if I create deep path to a class for the sake of a well organized classes?
com.mycompany.mydivision.projectA.forms.news.headlines;
com.mycompany.mydivision.projectA.forms.news.events;
com.mycompany.mydivision.projectA.dao.calendar.events;
or
a.b.c.d.e.f.g.h.i.j.k.l;??????
any reading materials on this?
Thanks

I don't know what the limit on deepness is, but there shouldn't be any performance issues. All the classes are loaded when your program starts, so the JVM doesn't need to traverse through all those directories each time you reference one of the classes.

Process Chain Termination issue.

Hi,
     I ran a process chain, its been terminated in the middle.
here is the message from log.
Process Execute InfoPackage , variant WBS Hierarchy has status Ended with
errors (instance REQU_AI8QGHV5KCC7KC1VSNGPRY9VF )
Process chain termination has been confirmed in meta chain
CE0BOS15OV4H1VDIEVZSFDEH8 , destination 'NONE '.
Looking forward to your solution.
Cheers
Senthil

what is the messege it gives in the display messege screen. if the load is successful how it will get terminated.
chk the details tab of RSMO.
is the load is for ods? then in the details tab chk for subsequent processing is failed? chk the error messege, hope this may be due to invalid records. correct it in PSa and push to ods.
if any thing else pl revert us
