Load balancing in the process chains

HI friends
I have 6 subchains in 1 metachain . we are facing a problem where we have to 2 servers . but when we run the process chains they are occuping all the DIA process in only one server . the other server is empty . so is there a way that we can do the load balancing in the process chains . so that the process chains can occupy all the resources in both servers than only one . please do reply . this is very important . thankyou for all your replies .
*Points will be rewarded *.

Hi,
check this out: https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/com.sap.km.cm.docs/oss_notes/sdn_oss_bc_ccm/~form/handler
additionally some information.
You can specify a server on which the chain will run, but this is not really load balancing. Load balancing must be set up by a basis person.

Loading master data through process chain

Hi Gurus
I am designing the process chain , I know that I have to start by loading master data first for that I am planning to load attribute first and then to load text and then Hierarchy. Is that the right sequence?
Also how can I make sure that once the master data is loaded , the transaction data loading start automatically?
I am planning to put attribute chage run as last process in every master data loading . Is that correct?
Also i would appreciate if you can tell me the very first step I should follow to start my design, I have already identified the master data and transaction data and their respective dependancies.what would be my next step?
Thanks for your help in advance.
Kris

Hi Kris,
Make two seperate Process Chains for Master Data and Transaction Data
For Master Data:
Your sequence is absolutly correct, Identify what all Master Data Objects and make a list of InfoPackages and Start creating Process Chain as
Start --> Attribute --> Text --> Hier --> Attr Change Run
For Transactional Data:
Identify the Data Targets and the Sequence of loading, then create the Process Chain
NOTE: Always Master Data should be loaded before Transaction Data
After Creating different Chains for Master Data and Transaction Data, Make a one Super Chain called Meta Chain where you can put all these process chains,
Meta Chain --> Process Chain 1( Master Data Chain) --> Process Chain 2( Transaction Data)
also check these threads for process chain creation

Regarding "Delete Index" process in the process chain.

Hi Gurus
In the process chain, I have Delete Index -> Load Info pacakge -> Create Index process in the above order.
I am loading few records, so no need to delete indexes everytime. Can i remove the "Delete Index" process from the Chain without deleting the Create Index process. Or do I have to delete both.
Could you please clarify my doubt if possible in detail.
Thanks,
Regards,
aarthi

With the numbers you provided, you probably don't need to have the steps. With Oracle (not sure about all the other DB flavors) there are some other considerations:
Not having the indexes when loading the data can improve the load time since the bitmap indexes are not very efficient with respect to inserts/updates. The more dimensions you have, the more indexes there will be and the more noticable the impact of having the indexes present when loading.
The drop index process only drops the F fact table indexes. If you compress your cubes regularly so that you don't have many uncompressed requests, the index rebuild time will remain small, but if you have many uncompressed requests in your cube, the index rebuild time can begin to exceed whatever time you might save on the load with indexes deleted.
With bitmap indexes present, you can also occasionally receive a ORA-0600 deadlock error during the load process, and that can be prevented by dropping the indexes before loading or chose the load option packet by packet so that two packets are not trying to update the same index block at the same time.
Another concern in shops where reporting on the cube might occur during the load process - if you drop indexes prior to a load, any one trying to run a query on teh cube could have poor query performance since all the indexes will be missing onthe F fact table, this agina becomes more apparent the more data you have in the uncompressed fact table.
So it really comes down to your environment, but certainly drop the indexes any time you have large loads.

Event is not getting triggered in the process chain

Hi,
We had a process chain which was triggered by an Event, and it was running fine until few days ago. So I removed the chain from schedule and re-scheduled it again with these details:
File load: every 2 hrs
Process chain setting
Immediate tab: start immediately
After event: "event name" and "parameter name" and periodic job: ticked
I activated the chain and scheduled it. But the event is not triggered and the chain does not start. I even tried to trigger the process chain manually in sm64 but the process chain did not start.
Can someone please tell me steps to automate the event triggering and also any setting that should be taken care off in the info package and the process chain.
Thanks In advance.
Ram

Hello Ram, to start your Process Chain by an event, then you need to maintain the Start process of the process chain.
Select "Direct Scheduling".
In the Change Selections, press After Event. Put your event name and parameter (if any). Also click on Periodic job.
Press Save. Then Activate and Schedule your process chain. All your processes should turn green.
To verify, right-click on the Start process and select Displaying Scheduled Job(s).... You should see a job called BI_PROCESS_TRIGGER in a Released status. You can click on the job and look at the start conditions.
When you go to trigger the event, use the same event name and parameter (if any) as in the start condition. Your process chain will then execute. To insure, use RSPC to view your process chain and press the Logs icon (last one at the top).

The 0co_om_opa_6 ip in the process chains takes long time to run

Hi experts,
The 0co_om_opa_6 ip in the process chains takes long time to run around 5 hours in production
I have checked the note 382329,
-> where the indexes 1 and 4 are active
-> index 4 was not "Index does not exist in database system ORACLE"- i have assgined to " Indexes on all database systems and ran the delta load in development system, but guess there are not much data in dev it took 2-1/2 hrs to run as it was taking earlier. so didnt find much differnce in performance.
As per the note Note 549552 - CO line item extractors: performance, i have checked in the table BWOM_SETTINGS these are the settings that are there in the ECC system.
-> OLTPSOURCE - is blank
   PARAM_NAME - OBJSELSIZE
   PARAM_VALUE- is blank
-> OLTPSOURCE - is blank
   PARAM_NAME - NOTSSELECT
   PARAM_VALUE- is blank
-> OLTPSOURCE- 0CO_OM_OPA_6
   PARAM_NAME - NOBLOCKING
   PARAM_VALUE- is blank.
Could you please check if any other settings needs to be done .
Also for the IP there is selction criteris for FISCALYEAR/PERIOD from 2004-2099, also an inti is done for the same period as a result it becoming difficult for me to load for a single year.
Please suggest.

The problem was the index 4 was not active in the database level..it was recommended by the SAP team to activate it in se14..however while doing so we face few issues se14 is a very sensitive transaction should be handled carefully ... it should be activate not created.
The OBJSELSIZE in the table BWOM_SETTINGS has to be Marked 'X' to improve the quality as well as the indexe 4 should be activate at the abap level i.e in the table COEP -> INDEXES-> INDEX 4 -> Select the u201Cindex on all database systemu201D in place of u201CNo database indexu201D, once it is activated in the table abap level you can activate the same indexes in the database level.
Be very carefull while you execute it in se14 best is to use db02 to do the same , basis tend to make less mistake there.
Thanks Hope this helps ..

Error while running the process chain

Hi, I am getting following error while running the process chain.
"Lock NOT set for: Deleting the data completely from a data target"
Please suggest.
amit

hi,
This is due to a lock on the objects which is being used by ur load.
Even if master data used by this would be in a lock by an attribute change run. wait till that attribute change run finishes and then repeat.
If this target itself is locked by someother process like rollup , compression , this error would appear. In this case also repeat the step after those locking process finish.
some general locks during loading:
Sometimes parallel processing in DTP might lead to this, its better set the DTP and infopackage in serial processing. In this case change the settings and then repeat the process.
There is a specific case in which the Serial DTP gets locked by itself, in this case repeat it untill it succeeds.
You can identify the above scenario as below. This is applicable only if the DTPs processing mode is serial.
if u see in SM 37 this load would have three DTP processes running.
it should have only two.
In this case cancel the process and repeat it untill u get it right.
hope this helps u
regard,
ranjith

Error while designing the Process Chains

Hi All,
I have a issue on Process Chains.
In my Project there are 2 ODS.
ODS 1 : Status Header ODS (ZODS)
ODS 2 : Service Order Header. (0CRM_PROH)
In CRM, if any Service Order is created, it is available in delta Queue(RSA7) immediately.
While loading the data to ODS 2(Service Order),it is checking the data from status ODS 1(Status ODS)
For Example, I am loading the data of service Order 80001 to ODS 2(0CRM_PROH). Before loading to ODS 2, i am checking whether this service Order Number(80001) is available in ODS 1.
If the service Order 80001 is there in ODS 1, it will update the data to ODS 2.
If the service order 80001 is not there in ODS 1, it will not Update the data to ODS 2.
Problem i am facing :
1. First i am loading the data to ODS 1 (Status ODS). Early Morning 2.30AM and it completes the data load at 2.40AM. And document posting is happening on 2.37AM and ODS 1 doesnt pull the data of document posted.
2. Once the ODS 1 is completed, by 2.41AM, the data loading will happen for ODS 2 (Service Order Header).It brings all the data including the document posted on 2.37AM.
3.While loading all the data is available, and while loading to ODS 2, it is checking the status ODS. And it is checking for the document posted on 2.37AM and this document is not there in Status ODS 1 and the data(posted on 2.37AM) will not update in ODS 2.
Because of this, some records are missing in ODS 2. And while loading, we cant stop the document posting also.
How can i achieve this using the process Chain.
Design i have tried in Process Chain :
1. Start Variant.
2. Load Infopackage to PSA only for ODS 2.
3. Load Infopackage to PSA and activate ODS for ODS 1 (Status ODS)
4. Read PSA (of ODS 2) to Load data to ODS 2.
5. Activate the ODS.
I tried, but i got a error message while designing the process Chains.
No type "Activate DataStore Object Data" process can be in front of process "Read PSA and Update Data Target" variable PSA_SERVICE_ORDER in the chain
Pls suggest how to recify this according to my design.
Thanks & Regards,
Ram.

Hi,
You can try this..
.......................................... Start ...................................................
Load data to PSA (ODS 2) ..................................... Load data to PSA (ODS 1)
..................................................................................Load data to ODS 1
...................................................................................Activate ODS 1
........................................... AND ..........................................................
........................................ Load data to ODS 2 .............................................
.......................................... Activate ODS 2 ...........................................

Error while executing the Process chain

Hi Friends,
The process chain that I scheduled is getting failed at the Infopackage loading stage.
On checking the diplay message, I found the following log:
Cannot stage requested data for datasource
Error in source system
I activated the datasource in source system, then replicated the same and tried to load data.
But the issue remains the same.
I checked in RSA7. The status corresponding to this datasource is in yellow status.
Can I delete this entry and try again?
Please suggest.
Thanks in advance.

2. Error in unit conversion
Units of measure
3.Error 1 in update
When Src file is already open or not accessible.
4.Processing no data
theres no data selected after extraction
5.Caller 70 missing
" This error normally occurs whenever BW encounters error and is not able to classify them. There could be multiple reasons for the same
1) Whenever we are loading the Master Data for the first time, it creates SIDs. If system is unable to create SIDs for the records in the Data packet, we can get this error message.
2) If the Indexes of the cube are not deleted, then it may happen that the system may give the caller 70 error.
3)Whenever we are trying to load the Transactional data which has master data as one of the Characteristics and the value does not exist in Master Data table we get this error. System can have difficultly in creating SIDs for the Master Data and also load the transactional data.
4) If ODS activation is taking place and at the same time there is another ODS activation running parallel then in that case it may happen that the system may classify the error as caller 70. As there were no processes free for that ODS Activation.
5) It also occurs whenever there is a Read/Write occurring in the Active Data Table of ODS. For example if activation is happening for an ODS and at the same time the data loading is also taking place to the same ODS, then system may classify the error as caller 70.
6) It is a system error which can be seen under
the Status tab in the Job Over View.
solution:
" If the Master Data is getting loaded for the first time then in that case we can reduce the Data Package size and load the Info Package. Processing sometimes is based on the size of Data Package. Hence we can reduce the data package size and then reload the data again. We can also try to split the data load into different data loads
If the error occurs in the cube load then we can try to delete the indexes of the cube and then reload the data again.
If we are trying to load the Transactional and Master Data together and this error occurs then we can reduce the size of the Data Package and try reloading, as system may be finding it difficult to create SIDs and load data at the same time. Or we can load the Master Data first and then load Tranactional Data
If the error is happening while ODS activation cause of no processes free, or available for processing the ODS activation, then we can define processes in the T Code RSCUSTA2.
If error is occurring due to Read/Write in ODS then we need to make changes in the schedule time of the data loading.
Once we are sure that the data has not been extracted completely, we can then go ahead and delete the red request from the manage tab in the InfoProvider. Re-trigger the InfoPackage again.
Monitor the load for successful completion, and complete the further loads if any in the Process Chain.
6.Idoc not processed completely.
Here the request remains yellow (in process) and with the same details (as seen in the details tab of the monitor) for an abnormally long time. Many-a-times, the port for communication is not open and re-starting the load helps. For long running jobs, it may not be advisable to restart the extraction
Contact the BASIS administrator to push the IDOC.

HOW TO STOP THE PROCESS CHAIN WHICH IS RUNNING IN THE PRODUCTION?

HI ALL,
CAN ANYONE TELL ME HOW TO STOP THE PROCESS CHAIN WHICH IS RUNNING DAILY AT 5.00 PM. I NEED TO STOP THE PROCESS CHAIN FOR COUPLE OF DAYS AND THEN RESTART IT AGAIN.
cAN ANYONE TELL ME THE PROCEDURE TO STOP THE ENTIRE PROCESS CHAIN RUNNING IN THE PRODUCTION.
THANKS
HARITHA

Hi,
First and foremost let me advice you to be very careful while doing this.
For Rescheduling
RSPC> chain > Goto > Planning view and
click on Execution tab > select > Remove from Schedule and then in Maintain variant of start process reschedule for the day you require it to run.
For terminating active chain
You can start from SM37, find the process WID/PID then go to SM50 or SM51 and kill it. Once its done come back to RSMO and check the request, it should be red but again manually force to red and save by clicking on the total status button in the status tab. This shuld ensure that the process is killed properly.
The next step will be to go to targets that you were loading and remove the red requests from those targets.
Note: For source system loads you may have to check if the request is running in the source system and kill if needed and pull it again.
But for BW datamart delta loads u may have reset the datamarts in case u are going to pull the delta again.

How to stop the process chain showing status as yellow but no process step

Dear Friends,
How to stop the process chain showing status as yellow but no process step is running in that process chain.
We have manually triggered the process chain for sales it finished successfully till load data but the next step is create index and DB statistics. Both of this steps are in unscheduled position only and no background job for this.
Please guide me.

Infopackage loads 0 record in process chain as BG job not running correctly

Hi Experts,
I have scheduled a daily process chain for Purchasing.
The infopackage in the process chain loads 0 records from R/3 and shows green status but data is available in R/3. Its a FULL update.
But when I load the data manually the infopackage fetchs the record form R/3.
When I checked the background job in R/3 that loaded 0 records, the job gets finished abruptly without fetchig any data.
Please find the job log below:

Kindly help me on this issue as why the job run through process chain is not fetchibg any records.
Regards,
Indhuja

Hi Prasanth,
If the background jobs are not availbale when IP is triggered then the BG job will ot be executed and the IDOCs will get struck.
Once we push the IDOc only the BG job will be executed until then the PC will wait with yellow status.
Hence this is not the issue with the non availability of BG WP.
Also for last one week this issue was happening but today the job executed successfully through the Process chain itself.
Then it shows this is not the issue with PC also.
The job is executed using RFCUSR.
Please suggest what would be the possible cause for this issue.

How to test the process chains

hi sap gurus,
Can anybody tell me how to test the Process chains before i load real time data,i run process chains every morning 6.15 am,before that i want to test every process is linked to another.
thanks in advance.

Hi,
Scheduling the process is the only way to check whether it is running fine or not. The process chains should be checked first in the Dev server and then in the QA server before transported to Prod.
You can also check the process chain using the "check" button to see if the processes are in the proper sequence or not.
There is a "log" button to keep track of the progress of the chain

Authorizations setting for running the process chain

Hai
Iam planning to run the process chain for loading the data into ODS. But i dont have authorization for it.
so what are the authorizations i need to run the process chain in my system. And how can i set all those authorizations to my user-id. I have all authorization rights .
Pls let me knw
kumar

Hi,
Authorizations for Process Chains
Use
You use authorization checks in process chain maintenance to lock the process chain, and the processes of the chain, against actions by unauthorized users.
·        You control whether a user is allowed to perform specific activities.
·        You control whether a user is allowed to schedule the processes in a chain.
The authorization check for the processes in a chain runs when the system performs the check. This takes place upon scheduling or during synchronous execution. The check is performed in display mode. The check is performed for each user that schedules the chain; it is not performed for the user who executes the chain. The user who executes the chain is usually the BI background user. The BI background user automatically has the required authorizations for executing all BI process types. In attribute maintenance for the process chain, you can determine the user who is to execute the process chain.

For the administration processes that are bundled in a process chain, you require authorization for authorization object S_RS_ADMWB.
To work with process chains, you require authorization for authorization object S_RS_PC. You use this authorization object to determine whether process chains can be displayed, changed or executed, and whether logs can be deleted. You can use the name of the process chain as the basis for the restriction, or restrict authorizations to chains using the application components to which they are assigned.
Display/Maintain Process Chain Attributes
Use
You can display technical attributes, display or create documentation for a process chain, and determine the response of process chains during execution.
Features
You can display or maintain the following attributes for a process chain:
Process Chain ® Attribute ® ...
Information
Description
( Rename)
You can change the name of the process chain.
Display Components
Display components are the evaluation criterion in the process chain maintenance. Assigning the process chains to display components makes it easier to access the chain you want.
To create a new display component, choose Assign Display Components in the input help window and assign a technical name and description for the display component in the Display Grouping dialog box that appears.
Documents
You can create and display documents for a process chain.
For more information, see Documents.
Last Changed By
Displays the technical attributes of the process chain:
·        When it was last changed and who by
·        When it was last activated and who by
·        Object directory entry
Evaluation of Process Status
If you set this indicator, all the incorrect processes in this chain and in the overall status of the run are evaluated as successful; if you have scheduled a successor process upon error or always.
The indicator is relevant when using metachains: Errors in the processes of the subchains can be evaluated as unimportant for the metachain run. The subchain is evaluated as successful, despite errors in such processes of the subchain. If, in the metachain, the successor of the subchain is scheduled upon success, the metachain run continues despite errors in unimportant processes of the subchain.
Mailing and alerting are not affected by this indicator and are still triggered for incorrect processes if they have an upon error successor.
Polling Indicator
With this indicator you can control the response of the main process for distributed processes. Distributed processes, such as the load process, are characterized as having different work processes involved in specific tasks.
With the polling indicator you determine whether the main process needs to be kept until the actual process has ended.
By selecting the indicator:
-         A high level of process security is guaranteed, and
-         External scheduling tools can be provided with the status of the distributed processes.
However, the system uses more resources; and a background process is required.
Monitoring
With the indicator in the dialog box Remove Chain from Automatic Monitoring?, you can specify that a process chain be removed from the automatic monitoring using CCMS.
By default CCMS switches on the automatic process chain monitoring.
For more information about the CCMS context Process Chains, see the section BW Monitor in CCMS.
Alerting
You can send alerts using alert management when errors occur in a process chain.
For more information, see Send Alerts for Process Chains.
Background Server
You can specify here on which server or server group all of the jobs of a chain are scheduled. If you do not make an entry, the background management distributes the jobs between the available servers.
Processing Client
If you use process chains in a client-dependent application, you can determine here in which client the chain is to be used. You can only display, edit, schedule or execute the chain in this client.
If you do not maintain this attribute, you can display, edit, schedule or execute the process chain in all clients.
Process variants of type General Services that are contained in a process chain with this attribute set will only be displayed in the specified client.
This attribute is transported. You can change it by specifying an import client during import. You must create a destination to the client set here in the target system for the import post processing (transaction RSTPRFC) The chain is activated after import and scheduled, if necessary, in this client.
Execution User
In the standard setting a BI background user executes the process chain (BWREMOTE).
You can change the default setting so that you can see the user that executes the process chain and therefore the processes, in the Job Overview. You can select the current dialog user who schedules the process chain job, or specify a different user.
The setting is transported.
The BI background user has all the necessary authorizations to execute all BI process types. Other users must assign themselves these authorizations so that authorization errors do not occur during processing.
Job Priority
You use this attribute to set the job priority for all of the jobs in a process chain.

How to execute the process chain using function module

Hi,
How can we execute the process chain when there is any process failed. For ex. when we are running many processes. when loading fails in local process chain, after fixing this error, how can we execute the rest of processes. Can we execute the rest of processes using any function module. Kindly guide me.

Hi,
