Local chain, Meta chain, and Remote chain

Hi,
Can any one explain me what exactly is the difference among the process chains?
Meta chain is a process chain that calls the other process chain
Local chain is the PC included in any other Process types?
Cannot differentiate Local and meta chaisn now !
same is the case with remote process chains
Raj

Hi,
Metachain is a process chain, for which you determine this start condition, that is fixed to another process chain. The process chain is started directly by this metachain.If you start the start process using a metachain, it is not scheduled after you have activated the related process chain. The process chain is only started when the metachain, to which it is linked, is running. rocess chains can be scheduled as processes in additional process chains, which are known as meta chains. If the process chain you want to execute is in another system, use the process type Process Chain Remote, called remote process chain in the following. A remote process chain is a local process in the calling system that calls a process chain in this system, using a destination in another system, that is to be executed there. The remote process chain communicates with the other system and synchronously starts the executed process chain. After terminating the process chain in another system, this is reported back to the meta chain in the calling system. sing a remote process chain as the process of a metachain, you can schedule a process chain from another system in a process chain of the calling system.
Using a remote process chain as the process of a metachain, you can schedule a process chain from another system in a process chain of the calling system.  In  addition to remote process chains, you can also schedule local process chains as processes in a metachain. A local process chain consists of processes that are scheduled in the same system as the metachain. You schedule it as a process in the same system as the metachain.

  • 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.

  • Error in Remote Chain process type

    Hello All,
    I have a requirement wherein after one process chain in BW is finished another on in APO server should start.
    So i created a remote chain process type.
    In the destination i have given the APO system and then name of the process chain from APO system and in the destination for call back i have given BW system.
    When i check the process chain, it is giving an error as error in definition of the process chain.
    Has anyone ever used remote chain and faced such an issue.
    Thanks and Regards,

    Hi,
    process chain are stored in tables RSPC* -->RSPCCHAINT store the text.chk the definition there.
    Hope this helps,

  • Process chains time outs and hangs with no error msg - in SP13

    Hi all,
    We are having all kind of weird problems after we patched our system with SP13. Our process chain time outs and hangs, but surprisingly we never get any error msg. And scarier part is, the problem seems to be intermittent. PC runs fine on some days and hangs on some.
    Further analysis into the dump – as below
    Termination occurred in the ABAP program "SAPLRSSM" -
    in "RSSM_SLEEP_DEBUG".
    The main program was "SAPMSSY1 ".
    In the source code the termination point is in (Include) program "LRSSMU39".
    This refers to an issue that appears to have been addressed by OSS Note
    934648(meant for SP8). This notes also indicates to populate RSADMIN table to
    exclude "RSSM_SLEEP_DEBUG". Not sure if this note is valid for SP13? However we went ahead and populated the RSADMIN table.
    So now we have no clue what’s going on and where to fix the issue.
    As per SAP suggestion we applied the following notes:
    0000653996  Analyzing lock situations
    0000893563  Correction: Deadlock on completion of a remote chain
    0000994007  Corrections: Deadlock with external status query
    0001005481  Correction: Process successful, but there is no instance
    0001047174  Correction: Incorrect scope when locking in process chains
    0001051957  Correction: TIME_OUT during dialog confirmation of processes
    0001083660  Report for error stack analysis
    Nothing seems to help us. And SAP suggested a few options, which we implemented to no rescue.
    I’m sure that many of the customers have applied SP13, and want some feedback from them, if this is happening in their systems too?
    If so, how did you fix this issue?
    Or this situation is unique to us?Please note that no settings were changed as of SP13 to that of what they were in SP12(unless it is a side effect of the patch itself). Everything worked fine with SP12 and is still working on the BIP system. All the problems are in BIQ patched to SP13.
    Any pointers or insight would be appreciated. We have a customer msg open with SAP, and going back and forth, but nothing seemed to work as of today.
    Thanks,
    Voodi

    Not sure which OSS helped us get past the issue, as SAP asked us to apply a ton of notes. But along which the notes, SAP has some suggestions for us, which we think did the magic. After the implementation of the suggestin we never faced the same issue again. The suggestion by SAP:
    move the process chain callback in a batch job by executing
    program RSSM_TRACE_SWITCH and selecting the flag "verifcation
    of asynchronous processes - execute in batch".
    Lemme know if this doesnt fix the issue, I can give all the notes that SAP asked us to apply.

  • How to identify the meta chain in which the Process Chain is used

    Hi,
       I had a Process Chain which is designed to Load Transaction Data.
       This process chain is scheduled to start as a part of Meta Chain...
       How can i locate that META chain in which this Process Chain is used
    Thanks

    Hi
    There is no where used list for Process chain, but you can check it in table RSPCCHAIN.
    Give details as below:
    Version is 'A'.
    Process Type is 'CHAIN'.
    Process Variants = 'enter technical name of the local chain'.
    now hit execute button.
    You can see the list of process chains under Chain  ID column.

  • Process Chain hangs on AND process

    Help Super gurus!
    I've tried several versions of a chain that loads multiple InfoPackages serially then multiple DTP in parallel using filtering from the PSA to a DSO. All load successfully. Then I have the DTPs all meet at an 'AND' process before processing should continue to a cube.
    The 'AND' process also shows green but it does not continue to the next process step. It just stops there, no more jobs running, no yellow, nothing. It thinks it's all done, everything after that is still blue.
    Why does it hang there and what can I do to get it to continue?
    Thanks,
    Al
    Points available.

    Hi,
    Not sure what is the root cause in your case.
    Try this. It may work. Normally this is done after a step turns red and no repeat is available.
    Method 1 (when it fails in a step/request)
    /people/siegfried.szameitat/blog/2006/02/26/restarting-processchains
    How is it possible to restart a process chain at a failed step/request?
    Sometimes, it doesn't help to just set a request to green status in order to run the process chain from that step on to the end.
    You need to set the failed request/step to green in the database as well as you need to raise the event that will force the process chain to run to the end from the next request/step on.
    Therefore you need to 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.
    Of course you can also set the state of a specific step in the chain to any other possible value like 'R' = ended with errors, 'F' = finished, 'X' = cancelled ....
    Check out the value help on field rspcprocesslog-state in transaction se16 for the possible values.
    Thanks,

  • Process chain Error: This AND process is not waiting for event RSPROCESS

    Hi All,
    I am facing an error in the process chain in PRD.
    Error message: This AND process is not waiting for event RSPROCESS.
    We had a process chain which had two sub chains which run parallel and below of this we had AND process type and below of the AND process we had 4 more jobs.
    Once the two subchains got successfully loaded, the and process should turn to green and further 4 jobs should start.
    It is a daily load , it worked fine from past years,but suddenly the AND processtype is getting failed.The thing is in the two subchains if one got completed, the AND process process is not waiting for 2nd subchain to get completed.The AND process is turning to RED (status: cancelled) . I tried to repeat the AND process once after above 2 subchains loaded, but it didnt worked.
    And i removed the existing AND process and created a new one and placed it in same place and activated and schedules again.but still it is getting failed with same error.
    Thanks in advance,
    Sai Chand.S

    Hi,
    If you did any transports related to that metachain we face similar kind of issues.
    not only the AND process , we need to remove all the process before executing the AND process and create it again.
    It helps you, you said your in production So you should take the proper approvals and do it.

  • 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

  • How to know the process chain start time and end time

    Hi Experts,
                   How to know the process chain start time  and end time .
    Thanks in advance
    Regards
    Gutti
    Edited by: guttireddy on Feb 23, 2012 11:30 PM

    Hi Reddy,
    You may find the run time of a PC using below steps.
    1. Call SE38 > /SSA/BWT > Execute  > Enter your PC , choose the date and time > Execute. Here Run-time of a PC is displayed. (or)
    2. Call RSPC1 > Enter your PC > Execute > Goto Log view > Right click on the start Variant > Displaying Messages > Note down the start time in Chain Tab. Now Right click on the last Process type of the PC > Displaying Messages > Note down the End time in Chain Tab. The Difference b/w start time and end time gives the Run-time of your PC.
    Hope this helps.

  • Could you please explain about the  chain and end chain and module

    hi experts
    could you please explain about the  chain and end chain and module keywords?

    Hi Naresh,
    Conditions for Multiple Screen Fields
    To ensure that one or more PAI modules are only called when several screen fields meet a particular condition, you must combine the calls in the flow logic to form a processing chain. You define processing chains as follows:
    CHAIN.
    ENDCHAIN.
    All flow logic statements between CHAIN and ENDCHAIN belong to a processing chain. The fields in the various FIELD statements are combined, and can be used in shared conditions.
    CHAIN.
    FIELD: <f1>, <f 2>,...
    MODULE <mod1> ON CHAIN-INPUT|CHAIN-REQUEST.
    FIELD: <g1>, <g 2>,...
    MODULE <mod2> ON CHAIN-INPUT|CHAIN-REQUEST.
    ENDCHAIN.
    The additions ON CHAIN-INPUT and ON CHAIN-REQUEST work like the additions ON INPUT and ON REQUEST that you use for individual fields. The exception is that the module is called whenever at least one of the fields listed in a preceding FIELD statement within the chain meets the condition. So <mod1> is called when one of the fields <fi> meets the condition. <mod2> is called when one of the fields <f i> or <g i> meets the condition.
    Within a processing chain, you can combine individual FIELD statements with a MODULE statement to set a condition for a single field within the chain:
    CHAIN.
    FIELD: <f1>, <f 2>,...
    FIELD <f> MODULE <mod1> ON INPUT|REQUEST|*-INPUT
    |CHAIN-INPUT|CHAIN-REQUEST.
    MODULE <mod2> ON CHAIN-INPUT|CHAIN-REQUEST.
    ENDCHAIN.
    The module <mod1> is called when screen field <f> meets the specified condition for individual fields. <mod2> is called when one of the fields <fi> or <f> meets the condition. If you use the addition ON CHAIN-INPUT or ON CHAIN-REQUEST with FIELD <f>, the condition also applies to the entire chain and module <mod1> and <mod2> are both called.
    In cases where you apply conditions to various combinations of screen fields, it is worth setting up a separate processing chain for each combination and calling different modules from within it.
    The functions of the FIELD statement for controlling data transport also apply when you use processing chains. Within a processing chain, screen fields are not transported until the FIELD statement. Processing chains also have another function for the FIELDS statements that they contain. This is described in the section on validity checks.
    Ex:
    PROCESS AFTER INPUT.
    MODULE CANCEL AT EXIT-COMMAND.
    CHAIN.
    FIELD: INPUT1, INPUT2.
    MODULE MODULE_1 ON CHAIN-INPUT.
    FIELD INPUT3 MODULE MODULE_* ON *-INPUT.
    MODULE MODULE_2 ON CHAIN-REQUEST.
    ENDCHAIN.
    FIELD INPUT1 MODULE C1 AT CURSOR-SELECTION.
    CHAIN.
    FIELD: INPUT2, INPUT3.
    MODULE C2 AT CURSOR-SELECTION.
    ENDCHAIN.
    MODULE CURSOR AT CURSOR-SELECTION.

    Hi,
    That depends on the system behaviour... There is no issue in that... You can repeate the process.. If there is no repeat option available then you can on the detail view.. there is a chance that you will get a repeat option there.. If not then copy the chain.. remove the loaded process and add one starter chain an continue the chain in immediate mode...
