Infopackage and process chain status

Hello expert,
I am new in BW technology and I need some help...
Well I have created a process chain in order to load data into infoprovider. This process chain is running everyday in production system, (it's a tipical PC: delete PSA request, run infopackage, run DTP....)
I have checked the last status of the process chain and it's yellow since two days ago... It was due a communication error between ERP and BW system, therefore (for some reason), the infopackages started but never ended (always yellow status).
So, my questions are:
1.- Is there any configuration for the infopackage to prevent yellow status (for more than X time)?
2.- Could we control it in a process chain?
Thank you and best regards

Hi,
We can configure for infopackage incase of no records found however you can setup for time linmit.
You can set the status the request is to receive per InfoPackage in the Scheduler, via Scheduler Warning Handling. This setting overrides the system-wide setting.

Differences Between Infopackage Groups and Process chains

Hi All,
Can anybody explain me what are the differences between Infopackage Groups and Process Chains ? And how process chains are more comfortable

hi nagarjuna,
An InfoPackage group is a collection of InfoPackages. In order to summarize data requests which logically belong together from a business point of view, and to therefore simplify the request, you can collect data requests (meaning the InfoPackages) into an InfoPackage Group. You can schedule each of these groups in the scheduler . With the data request the scheduler can access InfoPackage groups directly and thereby request more than one InfoPackage at a time, corresponding to the setting in the InfoPackage group. Thus, you can support InfoPackage groups with the serialization of your data requests.
While a process chain is a sequence of processes that wait in the background for an event. Some of these processes trigger a separate event that can start other processes in turn. hit this link to know abt PCs:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/8f/c08b3baaa59649e10000000a11402f/content.htm
Process chains are more comfortable becoz itz not like infopackages where we have to schedule each pack individually. And in PCs, monitoring is very convenient since u see evrything in a single page.

Infopackage in process chain taking long time to run

HI Experts,
One of the element (Infopackage) in process chain(Daily process chain) is taking much longer time(6 hr and still runing) as generally it takes 15-20 mins to complete and the status is in yellow and still running in process monitor without giving any clear picture of error. Manually we are making the staus red and we are updating from PSA and this time it is getting completed in time as specified.
Flow from PSA to datatarget(DSO) in series
For last one week we are facing same issue and i would like to mention that we don't have access to SM37,SM12 to look the logs
and any locks.
without this i need to investigate what is the root cause for the same.
with regards,
murali

Infopackage in process chain is not scheduling

Hi All
One of infopackage in process chain is not scheduling and showing error message like "<b>Attributes are not yet maintained
Entire chain now has status 'R'</b>
what do we mean about this
can anyone will let me know in detail and how to correct this?
Regards
balaji

Hi balaji,
how big is your process chain ? I got a similar problem when I build a metachain with a lot of processes in the chain (more than 60). In this case, the error message is deceiving. If your process chain has similar numbers of processes, check OSS 942804 (Jobcount handling).
Kind regards,
Jürgen

Logical system Infopackage in process chain

Dear All,
I want to schedule a logical system delta infopackage in process chain I have input this package in chain but while activating it gives error "InfoPackage ZPAK_44MTIRL52E5IJXMQVL1BXFCWI is generated; NOT able to be used as loading variant" can any body help me how to resolve this issue.
Abhijit

Hi,
I think this package is created automatically while selecting update data into data targets from the context menu of the ods. This kind of packages cannot be used in chains. Goto rsa1->infosources. Select your 8<odsname> infosource and create a delta package manually. Put that package into the chain. That should work.
kind regards

Process Chain Status Red, DTP status yellow, DTP is green from inside

Hello All,
I have a problem where the Process Chain status is red, but the process(DTP) status is yellow.
When I right click on the yellow process there is no error message and the DTP is green in Process Monitor.
But the chain did not complete and the rest of the process steps are grey.
After 20 minutes the Process Chain ran again(automatically after new data arrived) and this time without errors and it went green.
My question is, how to proceed with the red Process chain and complete the further process and make it green.
Regards
Alex

hi,
There are scenarios where you need to change status of a process chain or a particular step in process chain.
You might need to change the status in the cases where we need mark these steps successful so that dependent steps get processed. There are other scenarios where one needs to change the status of a single step in the process chain or status of whole process chain.
Step by step instructions on change process chain status
1. Right click on the failed step in the process chain monitor and go to displaying messages
2. Go to u2018Chainu2019 tab and note down variant, instance and start date
3. Go to SE16 and the table RSPCPROCESSLOG and enter variant, instance and start dates from step 2 and note down log_id, type, variant, instance.
4. Go to SE37 transaction and execute the function module RSPC_PROCESS_FINISH and enter the values from step 3 and enter the new status u2018Gu2019 in status field and execute the FM
5. This sets the status of the process chain (PC)
After you set the status using the FM, go to the monitor screen of the process chain, you will notice the changed status. Now dependent steps in the process chain will start running
Thanks

Process Chain Status is Red even though all processes are successful.

I implement ABAP Code by using standard function module "RSPC_CHAIN_START" for execute process chain and return status of process chain after execute completely as following code:
Execute Process Chain
CALL FUNCTION 'RSPC_CHAIN_START'
EXPORTING
    I_CHAIN             = I_CHAIN
    I_SYNCHRONOUS       = I_SYNCHRONOUS
IMPORTING
   E_LOGID             = P_LOGID.
If sy-subrc = 0.
    gt_status = 's'.
    WHILE gt_status = 's'.
Get Status of Process Chain
      CALL FUNCTION 'RSPC_API_CHAIN_GET_STATUS'
      EXPORTING
      i_chain              = I_CHAIN
      i_logid              = P_LOGID
     IMPORTING
      E_STATUS             = gt_status
      E_MESSAGE            = P_MESSAGE.
Status G or F - Report that the Chain is Successfully Completed.
Status A - The chain is Currently running
Status R or X - Report that the chain has ended with Errors.
    CASE gt_status.
    WHEN 'A'.
Process chain is running
      gt_status = 's'.
      P_MESSAGE = ''.
    WHEN OTHERS.
Process chain is completed
      exit.
    ENDCASE.
    IF gt_status = 's'.
       WAIT UP TO 2 SECONDS.
    ENDIF.
ENDWHILE.
Display Message
IF gt_status = 'G' or gt_status = 'F'.
    MESSAGE i162(00) WITH P_MESSAGE.
Else.
    MESSAGE e162(00) WITH P_MESSAGE.
ENDIF.
ENDIF.
From above code, when execute this function module, sometimes status of process chain is shown as canceled 'X', therefore, output of this function module is shown as "The process chain is canceled". When monitor process chain in RSPC log view, the process chain status is also shown as canceled 'X' and status of all process in process is green, however, after wait for a while, the status changed from canceled 'X' to successful 'G'.
Why did the status of process chain show as canceled 'X' even though finally process chain status is successful ? If I want to check status of process chain after execute completely, which status should to check in ABAP code?
Regards,
Pui

Using that FM.. u will be providing the Instance and Variant of the failed process.. and hence the reload will start from the failed process but not the entire chain...
In general the process status shud finish then or based on the link combination the change from one process to other will happen...
try to maintain a wait time between the process atleast 2 to 4 secs..
thanks
hope this helps..

Adding infopackage in Process chain

Hi All,
         i am creating processing chain and i am trying to add a infopackage to that.
         but when i press F4 or small square box it is saying there are no infopackage but i have some infopackages created in Datasource.
      while i tried to add DTP it was successful but not able to add infopackages to process chain,
      the process chain is still unassigned is this any thing to deal with this.
      Please hlep me out and i have gone through the blogs in sdn for this but i was not able to figure it out.
Thanks in advance..
Srinivas.

Hi,
if you are displaying in tree format, then you may not be able to find the process chain.(
I do not know the reason, but i had the same issue in past, as i remember. but i solved it)
Please switch to network display in process chain and try again.
In process chain, go to infosource and with crtrl+f searchh the technical name of the infopackage.
Let me know if it helps

Process chains status

Hi All,
Most of our Process chains trigger at midnight and all are meta chains,and these all are European loads and 24 hours clock and 2 hours late than Indian timings, my question is
for example, there is a process chain A, it should trigger at midnight say 22 that is in our timing at 12,It has been triggerd and next day morning i checked in log view selecting the option ,yesterday and today, and one of its local chain showing red status.Then i went to that particular local chain and checked in logview by selecting the option yesterday and today,then it is showing yesterday's status ,and on the left side today's date also displayed but while clicked on the todays date, some screen is coming and not showing process chains status today. and when i check the option Today in the logview it is giving the message,no logs were found.what does that mean.is it triggered in correct time .or do we need to trigger it.if it is triggered ,then why it is showing red status.please clarify my doubt.
Thankyou.

Hi,
Your meta chain failed yesterday, for this reason today it haven't triggered..
If you want to execute todays load check the reason for failure and rectify it first than start the chain with immediate option for todays load...

How to create infopackage groups & Process chains & what is the difference

Hi gurus,
please help me to create infopackage groups & Process chains & what is the difference.
please explain any realtime scenerios.
when will we choose infopackage groups & process chains
and what is the difference betweeen these two.
Thanks & Regards,
BWcheta

Cheta,
You can create the IPG with the selction of all infopackages in RSA1-Modelling Area to automate those loads automatically. That means it will trigger only those IP's which have been pooled up in that IGP...
Where as Process chain is also a automated process where you can have different process types which can be used during the load and after the load has been done.. For example in ODS once after the data has been loaded if you want to activate the data then in PC youo can insert the process type for that, but in case of IGP it will only execute your IP.
Hope it helps...

Insert Execute infopackage on process chain maintenance

Hy, i have a serious problem: i can't insert a infopackage on process chain that i created on AWB.
When drag the insert "Execute infopackage process" on process chain and select the match code or F4 button to select an infopackage , receive this message:No data selected.So i can't insert infopackage in my process chain.
Could you help me?
Thank's a lot.
Sincerely yours
Andrea Maraviglia

Hi,
Go to rspc. At top of left pane you can see a data target icon. Click on that. Select your data target. Check the infopackage ckeck box. Here you can select your infopackage.
Try this out.

I want to know Cube,Ods,Multiproviders,infopackage groups,process chains

Hi all,
1.how to make techinical specifications Cube,Ods,Multiproviders,infopackage groups,process chains.
2.how to decide the size of the cube.
3.what is the default size& what is the max size & In the case of ods.
4.performance wise which is best multiprovider or cube.
5.why cube is best (performance wise) for cube over ods.
6.What is max no of chars & keyfigures can insert in ods.
7.Is sid concept exists for ods.if yes when they generate.
Thanks
cheta.

Hi
1.From functional specification requirements,find out the datasources by using business content check(offline) or using Metadata repository(online), u need to have TREX installed in ur system.Do the GAP Analysis and note down the objects which are not in business content and create Z objects(Datasources,ODS or Infobjects,Cubes). Draw the bubble diagram and derrive ER diagram from it and finally do logical information model(cube model) and decide what u need in data flow.
2.You have a quick sizer in market place which can help you to decide the sizing of BI project.Take care of trade-off's between line item dimensions and normal dimension which have large impact on ur sizing.
3.There is no such default sizing,depends on ur reporting requirements whether u need detailed reporting or snap shot reporting.
4.There is no trade-off's between multiprovider and Cube regarding performance.From performance point of view we have to consider other factors such as aggregates,Indexing,Partitioning etc..
6.The Max number of Keyfields are 16 and data fields are 749.
7.Yes SID's are created for ODS when you check the flag for BEX Reporting.
Thanks

Triggering Process chain based on execution of R3 job and Process Chain

Hi All,
I need your help in arriving at a solution for a reqirement.
Scenario is., I need to trigger a process chain B based on successful execution of Process chain A and an R3 job. If both conditions(Completion of R3 job and Process Chain A) are met then only it has to trigger process Chain B.
I know that we can use events to trigger a process chain using R3 job.But my case is differenet I need to consider the success message from both process chain and R3 job.Is there any way to solve it ?
Please provide me with your valuable inputs.
Thanks,
Bindu

Hi Hima,
You can use the 'AND' variant for both, If both are success then trigger the process chain.

Back ground processes, dialogue processes and Process chains

Hai all,
I am going through making process chains and I am struck with one thing:
"How many background process chains and dialogue processes you have during run time"
This is the problem. I understood everything else except this.The concept says that I have to know what is the capacity of the system, how many background and dialogue processes it could accomodate, how many are left and how many you can use for your process chain.How do we find out this? and could somebody please explain me or refer to documentation about the Back ground processes, dialogue processes and Process chains.
Thanks.

Hi Visu,
You can see the number of dialog and background processes by using transaction SM51 and then double clicking on the server (we only have one but it may be different for each). Our BASIS folks take care of the number of processes as well. And, for us we have a schedule that changes the number at a certain time of day because you tend to need more dialog during the day but more batch at night.
The transaction to look at and change the settings is RZ03. Then use the menu path Edit->Operation Modes you can select either Configuration or Timetable here. Both give information in different ways. I tend to double click around to see what it might tell me.
I hope this helps a bit,
Diane
