Infopackage cannot be used as varient in Process chain

Hi,
When I treid to create the process chain and I have created I am getting an error message as Infopacakge ....genarated not able to be used as loading varient.
I am unable to figure out what exactly this one.
Please help me to resovle this one.
Points will be definitely assigned.

Hi Vasu,
Try to create a new Infopackage instead of using the Generated Infopackage in ur process chain.
This will resolve ur issue.
Thanks
Hope this helps

Use of events in process chains

Hi All,
Could some one help me in givving me detailed information about the use of events in process chains with some examples .How are they used and what are they performed in background .I am going to start,creating process chains according to the requirements which are based on event scheduling before ..
Your detailed information is really appreciated..
Thanks & Regards

Hi,
Suppose your process chain needs to be started after certain activity is finished, then you can create an event to be triggered when that activity is done. The process chain will start once it gets that triggered event.
This is one use in using events in Process Chains.
Thanks,

How to revert back the deleted the message varient in Process chain

Hi All,
By mistake i have deleted the message varient for one loading infopackage process in one process chain in production.
These chain was not in dev and quality. I need to know this message and to whom they were sending this message.
Is there any way to know revert back the message details ?

Hi Dennis,
It was physically deleted.
I will explain in more detail :
i have one process chain which has 4 info packages in parellel, after these info packages there is END process which combines all info packages.In this END process there was a Message which used to send mails to business users.
Today i have removed the END process by mistkenly. I dont know what was the message and who are the recepitents.
It has happend in production and we dont have any back up.
Now i want know the what was message and to whom this message was used to send.
Thanks in advance

ABAP Program using Selection Screen in Process Chain

Hi,
I have included an ABAP Program in the Process Chain.
The ABAP Program takes a selection screen value from user before execution.
I have created a variant for both the ABAP Process (YPV_ABC) and a variant for the Selection Screen (YPV_XYZ).
The ABAP Program executes perfectly well in SE 38.
I get the following message when I execute the Process Chain.
"Status Change of Process ABAP YPV_ABC.
Save Status and Trigger Events if Appropriate "
When I click Yes, the ABAP Process becomes red.
These are error messages in the log
516 - Job started
550 - Step 001 started (program RSPROCESS, variant &0000000012961, user ID ALEREMOTE)
25 -    Could not ascertain code page
546 - Job cancelled after system exception ERROR_MESSAGE
My questions are:
1) Is it possible to use an ABAP Program which has a user input screen in Process Chain?
2) Could you please help with the above error?

1) Is it possible to use an ABAP Program which has a user input screen in Process Chain?
ABAP programs, with variants established for selection screens, are possible. We use them quite extensively for setting triggers to allow Process Chain to continue after an Interrupt Process has been hit.
2) Could you please help with the above error?
I'm not quite sure what could be causing this. When you tested this program in SE38, did you test it with the same variant for the selection screen and did you execute it in background?

Function module used to restart the process chain in the middle?

Hi all,
can anyone pls let me know the function module to restart the process chain in the middle of the process chain?
I need to run the process chain from the middle which can be done through a function module can anyone pls let me know!!
Thanks
pooja

what exactly your requirement is?
You can't trigger the process in the middle either it should be trigger by start variant or it's predessor.
If your chain failed in the middle - you can fix the prob and can do 'Repeat' option or you can also use FM 'RSPC_PROCESS_FINISH . (this FM will work only if the chain fails)

Using SAP Calendar for Process chains

Hi Everyone,
Is there a way to schedule the daily process chains to run from Monday to Saturdays
We do not want to run them on Sundays or holidays. Holidays here will be defined by us.
So does factory calendar do the job?
Can we change the holidays in Factory calendar?
Any insights here will be very helpful.
Thankx
Kumar.

Hi.......
You can do it in the following way........
You create a job in SM36 >> Here in the first screen give the job name >> then click on Start condition>> there click on Date/time >> give Scheduled start date and time>> Then click on Restrictions tab ( beside periodic values) >> There give the Factory Calender id and select Do not execute jobs on Sundays or holidays >> then click on Peridic values and select Weekly >> create this job using the program : BTC_EVENT_RAISE..........and in its variant maintion the event(but before that create this event in SM62)
This job will give trigger this event.............maintain this event in the start condition of the process chain...............
Then this chain will not run on Sundays.........
Or you can directly do it in the Start variant of your Process chain.................Click on Restrict and make the settings.......
Hope this helps you......
Regards,
Debjani.......

Infopackage Group & Process chain

Hi All,
I read in documentation for Upgrade to BI 7.0, that infopackage groups needs to be migrated to Process chains, during upgrade.
But I do find infopackage groups existing in RSA1OLD( after upgrade) and they can be scheduled and seems to function properly.
1) So why is it necessary to convert infopackage groups to Process chain ?
2) If I don't migrate to Process Chain, what problems could occur ( as client is more keen on keeping infopackage groups and not disturb the setup.)
Regards,
Sandeep

Oops got posted twice....... Sorry

InfoPackage QM status Process Chain

Hello Gurus,
In a process chain (BI 7.0) we have an InfoPackage which is loading the content of a flat file in the PSA.
The problem is that the flat file can be empty and in this case the QM status of the InfoPackage stays in yellow and thus the process chains does not go on.
I can change the QM status to green manually but as those chains will be launched automatically I need somthing that automatically sets the QM status to green when the flat file is empty.
Thanks for your help, regards
Thibault

Hi,
Try this. Select the infopackage, then Sheduler menu, Traffic Light Color for Empty requests (or CtrlShiftF6 with the infopackage selected) and select green. And save changes.
Hope it Helps.

Infopackage Group to Process Chain Conversion

Dear Gurus,
We are going to do BI upgradation,prrequisite for that we have to convert all Infopackage groups in to Process Chain.In our system totally we 600 Infopackage groups.Let me know the optimized and oraganized way to make a process chain conversion.Before the conversion process, what are the basic measurement (Like sequence,Grouping under process chain,Scheduling .Etc...) I have to do.Anticipate your respone eagerly.
With regards
Siva

Hello Sivakumar,
Try this Function Module RSPC_MIGRATE_INFOPACKAGE_GROUP , this should help you.
You can also goto Process Chain Maintanance in the InfoPackage Group and create the Process Chain.
If that doesn't then as a manual process, you have to note down all the InfoPackage sequence and include them in the Process Chain in the same order.
Thanks

Delete PSA Using Process Chain

I need to schedule some PSA deletes using a process chain and wanted to make sure I'm doing the right thing.
I have MD 0WBS_ELEMT_ATTR and in RSA1 if I click on "manage" I can see my PSA's that were loaded. Yeah, there were 2 different loads.
If I go to RSPC and create a variant to delete this PSA after its 45 days old I look up the PSA and I see the following:
/BIC/B0000782 Work Breakdown Structure Element (WBS Element)
0WBS_ELEMT_ATTR_DA Work Breakdown Structure Element (WBS Element)
Using se16 looking up this table: /BIC/B0000782000 it looks like it doesn't have any records so my question would be:
Is /BIC/B0000782 the PSA?
What is 0WBS_ELEMT_ATTR_DA?
Thanks,
Mike

OK here are my answers:
1) You seem to be disagreeing. One says use the /BIC/B0000782 the other says use 0WBS_ELEMT_ATTR_DA in the Process Chain.
I used /BIC/B0000782 in the process chain.
2) When I look up 0WBS_ELEMT in table RSTSODS using the ODSNAME I see:
ODSNAME VERSION DATETO DATEFROM OBJSTAT ODSNAME_TECH
0WBS_ELEMT_ATTR_DA 000 9999/01/01 1998/01/01 ACT /BIC/B0000900000
0WBS_ELEMT_TEXT_DB 000 9999/01/01 1998/01/01 ACT /BIC/B0000541000
these are the internal tables for the transfer rules I guess
3) /BIC/B0000900000 is the internal table for 0WBS_ELEMT_ATTR_DA correct?
yes
4) /BIC/B0000782 which I saw when I was looking up the PSA entry for 0WBS_ELEMT_ATTR is the internal table for the PSA?
yes
5) Still confusing is that neither /BIC/B0000782000 or /BIC/B0000900000 has any records.
/BIC/B0000782000 must be the default table for the PSA, and /BIC/B0000782001 did have the same number of records I saw on RSA1 (Manage), and /BIC/B0000900000 is the internal table for the rules
so we are all good!

Process Chain and Info Package Transportation?

Hello All
Case 1
How to transport a Process chain and a Info Package Individually?(first time from DEV to QA)
Case 2
I have 9(IP1 to IP9)infopackages and 3(P1 to P3) Process chains and in each Process chain I have 3 Info packages like IP1,IP2,IP3 in P1 and so on.,
Now is it necessary to transport Infopackages and Process chains individually or is it enough to transport Process chains only(If v transport Process chains will the Infopackages will also transport)then how to assign a request to each one?
What I mean is,all Infopackages are in $TMP(Package),and Process chain is also $TMP,Now is it necessary to change the package for Infopackages as well as Process chain and Tranport only PC,Iam confused here,can anyone help me out?
Many thanks
balaji

Hi Balaji,
If you have created new infopackages then you have to transport them. It is not necssary to transport the info-packages if you have them in the process chain but have not changed them.
Also you cannot transport any BW object with $ tmp package. Assign a package and then transport the objects.
The best way to transport the process chain is from the RSPC screen. Click the transport button there and collect all the objects and transport them.
Bye
Dinesh

Interview questions in process chain

hi
cany any one send me possible interview questions in process chain and errors with answer.
thanks in advance
pradeep

Hi Pradeep
1.Procedure for repeat delta?
You need to make the request status to Red in monitor screen and then delete it from ODS/Cube. Then when you open infopackage again, system will prompt you for repeat delta.
also.....
Goto RSA7->F2->Update Mode--->Delta Repetation
Delta repeation is done based on type of upload you are carrying on.
1. if you are loading masterdata then most of the time you will change the QM status to red and then repeat the delta for the repeat of delta. the delta is allowed only if you make the changes.
and some times you need to do the RnD if the repeat of delta is not allowed even after the qm status id made to red. here you have to change the QM status to red.
If this is not the case, the source system and therefore also the extractor, have not yet received any information regarding the last delta and you must set the request to GREEN in the monitor using a QM action.
The system then requests a delta again since the last delta request has not yet occurred for the extractor.
Afterwards, you must reset the old request that you previously set to GREEN to RED since it was incorrect and it would otherwise be requested as a data target by an ODS.
Caution: If the termianted request was a REPEAT request itself, always set this to RED so that the system tries to carry out a repeat again.
To determine whether a delta or a repeat are to be requested, the system ONLY uses the status of the monitor.
It is irrelevant whether the request is updated in a data target somewhere.
When activating requests in an ODS, the system checks delta repeat requests for completeness and the correct sequence.
Each green delta/repeat request in the monitor that came from the same DataSource/source system combination must be updated in the ODS before activation, which means that in this case, you must set them back to RED in the monitor using a QM action when using the solution described above.
If the source of the data is a DataMart, it is not just the DELTARNR field that is relevant (in the roosprmsc table in the system in which the source DataMart is, which is usually your BW system since it is a Myself extraction in this case), rather the status of the request tabstrip control is relevant as well.
Therefore, after the last delta request has terminated, go to the administration of your data source and check whether the DataMart indicator is set for the request that you wanted to update last.
If this is NOT the case, you must NOT request a repeat since the system would also retransfer the data of the last delta but one.
This means, you must NOT start a delta InfoPackage which then would request a repeat because the monitor is still RED. For information about how to correct this problem, refer to the following section.
For more information about this, see also Note 873401.
Proceed as follows:
Delete the rest of this request from ALL updated data targets, set the terminated request to GREEN IN THE MONITOR and request a new DELTA.
Only if the DataMart indicator is set does the system carry out a repeat correctly and transfers only this data again.
This means, that only in this case can you leave the monitor status as it is and restart the delta InfoPackage. Then this creates a repeat request
In addition, you can generally also reset the DATAMART indicator and then work using a delta request after you have set the incorrect request to GREEN in the monitor.
Simply start the delta InfoPackage after you have reset the DATAMART indicator AND after you have set the last request that was terminated to GREEN in the monitor.
After the delta request has been carried out successfully, remember to reset the old incorrect request to RED since otherwise the problems mentioned above will occur when you activate the data in a target ODS.
What is process chain and how you used it?
A) Process chains are tool available in BW for Automation of upload of master data and transaction data while taking care of dependency between each processes.
B) In one of our scenario we wanted to upload wholesale price infoobject which will have wholesale price for all the material. Then we wanted to load transaction data. While loading transaction data to populate wholesale price, there was a look up in the update rule on this InfoObject masterdata table. This dependency of first uploading masterdata and then uploading transaction data was done through the process chain.
What is process chain and how you used it?
A) We have used process chains to automate the delta loading process. Once you are finished with your design and testing you can automate the processes listed in RSPC. I have a real time example in the attachment.

Handling Error Messages in Process Chain

Hi Gurus,
I am developing a process chain which contains more than 40 Master Data Objects. Those are connected serially with "always" link.
Start -> Load Data -> DTP -> Load Data -> DTP -
EX-OR (connected to all Processes for error message)
Here the EX-OR Process is not allowing me to connect with "Error" link to all processes (by default it is giving "Always" link). i.e i want to get the error message from EX-OR process only in the case of failure not always.
Can any one help me out.
Thanks in advance,
Chenna.

Greetings Chenna,
First we need to check why the "always" link is used to connect the process chain steps?
If you take such "always" link to connect the steps, we cannot raise an error message link to EXOR( by default it will also take "always" link)
Here we can explore an error message thru EXOR step whenever a failure occurs in the process.
Things we need to do:
1. Steps in the process chain should be connected only on "successful" option selected.
2. We need to link the required steps to the EXOR step with "errors" selected on the pop up.
3. Need to link an Error message to EXOR step by selecting "Create message" on EXOR step.
Now if any failure occurs in the process the error message will be raised.
this helps...
