Issue about Automated Process Traffic light status

Hi experts,
In our system(BW 3.1), we found sth interesting. The automated data load finished. But when monitoring the status using T-code RSMO, we found some traffic lights are set to red. The reason for red light is timeout.
I figure: There is sth such as 'finish flag' for the traffic light to turn green, but after the dataload finished, the system didn't get it, so it waited till timeout.
I am not sure of it, and can't find any material about it.
Could anyone help me to explain this phenomenon?
many thanks and best regards,
Zehua

Hi,
Data will always be loaded into the cube irrespective of the traffic light status. Whether the load is in the cube or no, depends on the processing stage at which it has failed. You can see this in the monitor.
Goto the details tab. There are multiple headings like Extraction, Transfer, Processing.
Extraction and transfer are related to how the data is brought into the system. Processing is when the data is actually loaded somewhere either PSA or infoprovider or both depending on your processing type set in the infopackage.
In your process chain, various processes are triggered depending on the type of link maintained in between two processes. These are of 3 types 1) Successful 2) Failed 3) Always .
If the 1st one is selected, then the chain will move forward, if the previous step is green, 2nd case, if it is red and the 3rd one always.
Regarding why the status are not being updated, check where the load is yellow. If it is transfer, then possiblities are that IDOcs are'nt being set properly, if it is a custom datasource with function module check whether the NO_MORE_DATA exception is being raised properly.
Also check whether there are any short dumps in the source system or the BW system
Hope this helps,
Regards,

Set the workflow about PPR process as completed status with a report.

Hi Gurus,
I need to complete a workflow and all regarding task from UWL.
To do this, I implemented 2 functions module: the first to execute the dialog step and the second to set the dialog step as completed status.
When I run the report the both function module doesn't work. Sy-subrc return me different result as 0.
If I execute the SWIA T-code, I see all the task and there I execute the "dialog step" WORK ITEM to set it from ready status to started status and after I use "complete manualy" for the same task then the workflow created a new "dialog step" WORK ITEM I do the same with it and the workflow is completed.
So I would like to do the same in a report with SAP_WAPI_SET_WORKITEM_STATUS and SAP_WAPI_DECISION_COMPLETE functon module ... please see my code below:
loop at lit_wi_stat where wi_type = 'W' and wi_stat = 'READY'.
*to set dialog step WORK ITEM as started status.
      call function 'SAP_WAPI_SET_WORKITEM_STATUS'
        exporting
          workitem_id          = lit_wi_stat-wi_id
          status               = 'STARTED'
          user                 = sy-uname
          language             = sy-langu
          do_commit            = 'X'
        importing
          new_status           = lit_wi_status
          return_code          = lv_subrc
      TABLES
        MESSAGE_LINES        =
        MESSAGE_STRUCT       =
*to set dialog step WORK ITEM as completed status

          user                 = sy-uname

      TABLES
        MESSAGE_LINES        =
        MESSAGE_STRUCT       =
    endloop.
But it doesn't work correctly.
Maybe you have a better idea to reproduce the complete process in a report.
Thanks in advance for your reply..

Hi Chandni
I would presume that you are calling some activity step to perform some operation ...when this fails, you are passing some flag to the workflow to send the email and the "planned" error!
It's pretty simple then:
1) Analyze the flag using a condition step
2) Use mail step to send the email
3) Call a custom method to raise a workflow exception - workflow will go in error.

Or you can also trigger Class based Exceptions if you are using ABAP OO for workflow (custom functionality via Class using IF_WORKFLOW Interface). Just make sure you make your Custom Exception Class as a child of CX_BO_TEMPORARY or CX_BO_APPLICATION

it show's the error i.e. "No delivery-relevant items in order 0527087193, order type OR"
With this in mind, I'd doubt the previous statement that the order status is 'completed'. Such orders wouldn't be picked up for the Delivery Due list. It is possible that either there is a line item that is not relevant to delivery yet it makes the order header status incomplete. Thus Delivery Due list picks up the order # based on the header status but when it checks the line items, there is nothing relevant for delivery.
Check again the order statuses, not just on screen but in the tables VBUK/VBUP. Additionally, you can search for the notes yourself using the message ID/number (e.g. VL 001, which you should see, along with the long text, when you double-click on the message).

Help! about process chain execution status

hi:
we nearly have one problem about the process chain execution status,
when error occured during process chian execution, we fixed it in time,
however, even the error repaired, its status still showed yellow, and this
stop the subsequent process to excute.
Any body who can provide some help to solve this problem? thanks in advance
and looking forward to one reply.

Hi ,
Try this method
Open the messages of a failed step by right clicking on it and selecting 'display messages'.
In the opened popup click on the tab 'Chain'.
In a parallel session goto transaction se16 for table rspcprocesslog and display the entries with the following selections:
1. copy the variant from the popup to the variante of table rspcprocesslog
2. copy the instance from the popup to the instance of table rspcprocesslog
3. copy the start date from the popup to the batchdate of table rspcprocesslog
Press F8 to display the entries of table rspcprocesslog.
Now open another session and goto transaction se37. Enter RSPC_PROCESS_FINISH as the name of the function module and run the fm in test mode.
Now copy the entries of table rspcprocesslog to the input parameters of the function module like
described as follows:
1. rspcprocesslog-log_id -> i_logid
2. rspcprocesslog-type -> i_type
3. rspcprocesslog-variante -> i_variant
4. rspcprocesslog-instance -> i_instance
5. enter 'G' for parameter i_state (sets the status to green).
Now press F8 to run the fm.
Now the actual process will be set to green and the following process in the chain will be started and the chain can run to the end.

Ravi

Traffic light in collective delivering processing

Hi Folks,
I was wondering while doing collective delivery processing against STO..i am able to process delivery inspite of red traffic light when it should be only under yellow light ...How is that possible ? also would like to know how and when red and yellow light appears..
Look forward to hear from you soon..
Thanks and Regards
Rahul

Hi Rahul,
Red light indicates error from where you cannot proceed further.
Yellow light indicates warning, but you can still proceed further at that level.......which may affect at further level.
Green light indicates ok
In your case, check if you can run the whole cycle successfully. if the system lets you pass through the red indicator........it could be system bug.

Analyzer Traffic Light Issue

Version 5.0.0.10045It seems that the traffic light works with only one formula, either down the column or accross the row on the same sheet (tab). I need a different formula for each single cell. If I show sales this year over last with a variance, I want the variance to show a green light over 4.99%, and if it less than 0%, a red light. I can do the latter. I also want to show gross profit percent, this year over last year with a variance. I want the GP variance to show a green light over .24%, and if it is less than 0%, I want it to show as a red light. BOTH FORMULAS ON THE SAME SHEET. ONE MEMBER (Sales) UNDER THE OTHER MEMBER (Gross Profit).If this can be done, your info will be appreciated.WSB Home Furnishing Corp.email: [email protected]

I tried to replicate the issue you're describing and could not. The first thing you should do is download the latest patch. Hyperion is currently at Analyzer 5.0.3. There were some traffic lighting and formatting enhancements from the version you are running. If this does not help I would contact support and open a case.

Questions about traffic light Dial chart.

Greetings,
I want to create a dial chart which will use the traffic light colors to display normal/warning/dangerous. However, I have not found anything about how to do it either at the documentation or threads in the forum. Could anybody who has already done similar things shed some lights here?
Thanks in advance.

Hello,
Yes you can do all of that using the custom css section.
These are the css attributes for the dial charts
text.tic{stroke:none;fill:#000000;font-size:12px;}
line.tic{stroke:#000000;stroke-width:1px;fill:none;}
#dial{stroke:#336699;stroke-width:2px;fill:#336699;fill-opacity:.5;}
#dial.alert{fill:#FF0000;fill-opacity:.5;}
#dialbackground{stroke:#000000;stroke-width:none;fill:none;filter:url(#MyFilter);}
#dialcenter{stroke:none;fill:#111111;filter:url(#MyFilter);}
#dialbackground-border{stroke:#DDDDDD;stroke-width:2px;fill:none;filter:url(#MyFilter);}#low{stroke-width:3;stroke:#336699;}
#high{stroke-width:3;stroke:#FF0000;}
And here is an example page where you can try different css combinations, http://htmldb.oracle.com/pls/otn/f?p=11933:85,
You can use an item value to populate the css section so just use some plsql to create the right css depending on your values.

Traffic light issue!

hi, all
i am just wondering if i can set the traffic light column position.
and what i mean is :   now it is clear that the exception column is always displayed as the first column in the alv grid ,   can we display the exception column in other position ?
e.g   :
is it possible to display like this:
column 1       column 2    traffic_light_column

Traffic Light Color for Empty Requests Disabled

Hi Gurus!
I'm having a trouble with a DELTA InfoPackage associated to our 0VENDOR_ATTR DataSource... For some reason the "Traffic Light Color for Empty Requests" option is Disabled (grayed out), and that's causing the failing of its respective ProcessChain (since after Initialization of the data source there are no new data to load)... I was wondering if you may have an idea about what am i doing wrong? Any help would be appreciated.
Regards!
Ricardo

Hi,
As you have selected the option for the init package, the system is not allowing the same for the Delta as the same will be applicable for Delta as well.
The other place where you can set is at the Manage of the target or at the monitor (RSMO) level. If once set its fine for that target.
You dont need to worry.
Are you facing any issue for the data loads which are with 0 records at present due to the status? Do let us know.

ME23N restrict IDOC creation and keep traffic light yellow

Hi,
I have a requirement in which I need to restrict the EDI IDOC if there are errors in the PO. Also as the IDOC is not created the messages (type NEU) should remain with the yellow traffic light as the IDOC is not processed. What would be the best approach to keep the traffic light yellow , I have identified the point to restrict IDOC creation but the traffic light is set to red.
Thanks,
Esha

Hello Esha,
I have identified the point tojavascript:; restrict IDOC creation but the traffic light is set to red.
Yellow light in Output type shows its Not Processed. If you are talking about exits EXIT_SAPLEINM_002/EXIT_SAPLEINM_011 they come into picture when Output type processing started. So ultimately they will have either Success/Error status.
Even by setting sy-msgty = 'W' in EXIT_SAPLEINM_002 and raising exception will not help.
You can play around with FMs mentioned in group WMCP and can check.

ALV editable with traffic lights

Hello all,
I need some help about ALV editable; my reports display an ALV grid editable, and update all the new values on the DB table, but I have traffic lights as values on the DB table.
More informations:
So this is my internal table
<i>DATA: BEGIN OF it_table OCCURS 0,
      document    TYPE admi-document,
      status           TYPE admi-status,          (traffic</i> lights from the table able to modify)
      archiv_key TYPE admi_files-archiv_key,
      status_opt TYPE admi_files-status_opt,     (traffic lights from the table able to modify )
      status_fil    TYPE admi_files-status_fil,     (traffic lights from the table able to modify )
      END OF it_report.
</i>
I got all the match code form the table (DB) , so on my report I could modify all the traffic lights but when I save the modifications, I got a message error.
And the second problem was, I couldnt come back to the value initial and I getting the same message.
Can anybody help me please?
Thanks you.

see the program and i am using traffic lights in my program --

Traffic light on the basis of last month

Hi guys,
I have a question about the traffic light in the model Visual Composer. I would like to have a traffic light besids a table or graphic that wil be shown the status ( Green, red, yellow!) on the basis of the last month. In the table or in a graphic wil be shown several data of several months. But the traffic light have to respond on the basis of last month. That means that, if the last month exception( in the query) is green, the traffic light also wil be green.
Can anybody help me please?
Another question.
How can i get only two types of order as example in a pie chart? I have seen that in a pie chart you can only add one formula, not two.So!!
Thanks,
Regards,
Esrat

In the VC model create an Expression Box. Double click on this box to open up its Properties.
In the control properties window there is tab "Styles", here give Green color to the column 'Style' and in the next column 'Condition' select 'Enter Formula...'
Select the field and enter the condition.
Like
Style      Condition
Style 1   @CITY == 'Frankfurt'
Style2    @BANK_CTRY == 'DE'

Flat File automation process - limitations

Hello Everyone,
I would really appreciate any insight on the process improvement suggestions.
Background:
Currently we have around 12 territories providing a new flat file with new data on a daily basis depending on the business activity. Which would also mean that, on a given day if there is no activity would mean no flat file provided to BI for loading process.
The flat files provided need to be loaded into the BI system (PSA - DSO - InfoCube).
The flat file loading process has been automated for the daily file by implementing the logical file name for each territory.
1. The process variant in the process chain is to ensure if the flat file is available on the App server (Custom ABAP program).
2. 12 InfoPackages have been created to pick the data from the flat file on the app server and load the data over into the PSA.
3. All the InfoPackages merge into an "AND" event in the process chain before the DTP load into the DSO kicks off.
4. DSO Activation
5. Recon between the flat file and the DSO to ensure all the data from flat file has been loaded into the DSO.
6. DTP loads into the InfoCube.
7. Recon between the InfoCube and the DSO itself.
8. Moving the flat file from one folder into another.
All the above processes are automatically performed without any issues if the flat file is available on the server.
Problem / Issue:
As one of the major limitations of the above design is the flat file for sure needs to be made available on the app server in order for the whole data flow in the process chain to continue without any breakpoints.
Current workaround / process improvement in place:
Based on the above limitation and upon further research, I was able to apply the OSS Note to give us the option of maintaining multiple DTPs for the same data target with different filter values.
So, even if have individual data stream for each territory with a different DTP the issue still remains where the process variant (ABAP program to check if file exists) or the InfoPackage load if the ABAP program is removed will fail.
Which means due to the above fact, the support team is alerted about the process chain failure.
Question / Suggestions required:
The main questions or any suggestions would be welcome, if one of you can let us know an approach where the flat file check program doesn't have to give a hard failure in the process chain for the rest of the process chain to continue with the loading process. (As in order for the rest of the process chain to continue the only options we have are Error, Success, Always).
I have also looked into the Decision process variant available in the process chain, but based on the options available within I cannot utilize it for the loading process.
Error can be caused by generating an error message in the ABAP program which in turn is causing the issue of alert being sent over even if the rest of the process chain finishes.
Success would mean the flat file needs to be available. Always cannot be used in this case as it will cause a failure at the InfoPackage level.
If the InfoPackage load can be avoided without a hard error to be generated, the process chain does not have to remain in the failed state which in turn will not trigger any alert to the support team.
Please do let me know if you need more details about the above process improvement question.
Thanks
Dharma.

The main issue with this as you mentioned is that the file has to be available for sure.
We had a similar issue - we had a very critical data load that had to happen everyday , failure of the file getting loaded would mean that the reports for the day would be delayed.
We were running on UNIX and we implemented a simple UNIX command that would not complete till the file was available in the app server.
Something like
while ( the file does not exist )
delay of 15 seconds
you will come out of the while only after the while completes which means that the file becomes available.
You can write a similar ABAp program to check file availability if required and put it into your program.
we also had a failover process where we created a zero byte file with the same name if the file did not come beyond a certain number of tries and the PSA would load zero records and the data load will continue.
