Messeging system in process chain!

Hi,
can any one here tell me in which of the process blocks one needs to include the Messege ( notifying via email if data upload is failed )!
For transactional data, i had put it in the delete index process ( before uploading transactional infopackage process )
is it correct?
Thanks,
Ravi

It doesn't matter where you put the notification. I will suggest to put it at the beginning and also at the end. But you should also add that to those important loads so that you can be notified when there is problem. The start message will help if chain get started but did not completed with Error or Success message, this may happen sometime where a load job stay in yellow. So, you know a job started that not finish at the expected time window.
It is correct to delete the index before load and recreate that after load completion. But if volume of data getting bigger and bigger, it may not help. So, monitor the time on the loads with deletion and no deletion to see which one is the best for your system.
Good Luck,
CL

Need information-BW System administration-process chains

Hi gurus,
I need information about BW System administration-process chains
can anyone send me the docs related to
1)process chain modellin aspects
2)process chain monitoring &error handling
3)BW statistics and query tuning with aggregates
Thanks in advance..

BW STATISTICS
If you are asking abt the flags that you see in RSA1 -> Tools -> BW Stats...you can check BW Stats for each and every infoprovider. Whenever you create an infopprovider you should always decide whether you want to turn on the BW Stats for this infoprovider. This is a manual step and can be done in each and every box individually or can be transported across the systems. Coming to your question...BW Stats are of two kinds...
1) OLAP -
If you check this flag for an infoprovider...all the statistical data for the queries built on this infoprovider gets updated into the corresponding infocubes (0BWTC_C02 and 0BWTC_C03). An example would be like number of users that ran the report in a given time, the average run time of the query and so on. This data is of immense value in deciding the steps for performance tuning techniques like aggregates!
2) WHM (Warehouse Management) -
If you turn this flag on for an infoprovider, all the statistical data like how often the cubes are loaded, when are the requests deleted from the infocubes, data abt condensing of cubes and so on is loaded into the corresponding cubes like 0BWTC_C04, 0BWTC_C05, 0BWTC_C09 and 0BWTC_C11.
You have to activate the infopackages to load into these cubes and schedule them through process chain to run once in a while so that your statistical data is uptodate.
Production support for maintaining the process chains primarily involves monitoring activities of all the chains that are running in the background...
Errors in monitoring of process chains can be categorized into 4 different sections...
Master data - Full Update
Master data - Delta Update
Transaction data - Full Update
Transaction data - Delta Update.. in terms of loading of data which can be due to server shut down or system maintenance... errors due to incorrect entries in the OLTP system in which case you'll have to fix the errors in the PSA and manually load the data...
Otherwise it can have errors on Attribute change run being locked by some other job... Aggregate Roll up failing because of attribute change run being run at the same time... Problem with hierarchies and save hierarchies...
There can be problems with the data store activation if the ODS object contains any incorrect request sitting inside it... then, you need to delete the incorrect request and reload the data again...
In case of Transaction Delta failure, you'll have to request for a repeat either manually in the infopackage or using the repeat option if available on right clicking the load event...
For Master Data Delta failures, you need to do an Re-init by deleteing the previous initalization condition in the "initalization option for source systems" in the menu scheduler or reschedule the enitre chain... because, master data generally do not support repeat of last delta ...
Majority of the issues will be based on these things only..

Collection in source system ended-Process chain error

Hi friends,
I have got a PC which failed due to error : Collection in source system ended.
My flow of PC is .
start--
       --Load IP 1
      ---Load IP2
      _--load Ip 3
Load IP4
      ---Load Ip 5.
I got this error at IP2 and so my pc fail .
can i manually upload this IP2 and make the process chain OK?
what are the steps involved in rectifying this?
regards,
siddartha

First try to find out the reason for the load failure. Once you fix this, do a manual run of the infopackage and when successful you can continue with the rest of process chain.
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.

How to change source system in process chain

Hi All,
In our Bw quality system, process chain is pointing to the Production system ,
I want to keep the process variant name same as production but want to change the source system
For example.. let us say currently process chains(All DTPs) are pointing to the Production server (PD001) ip (200.12.23.22)
now i want to keep the Server name same but want to point it to the quality system..so after change Process chain will show same name but it should point out to quality system.(let us say bwq 200.12.23.232).
Can you please help me on this

Hi Pravender,
In our BW system , we have same process chain in all the system (Dev, Quality and production)..and naming convention is also same ..(all process chain points to Production system only)..
So when I want to load data from development i just need to change the source system ip adrress to the Development Server (So names in process chain will indicate production but it will point to the development server), .
I want to know how can i change the source system mapping.
Hope i am clear now

Can I delete 'Initialization Options for Source System' in Process Chain?

Hi All,
Can I automate the process of deleting the 'Initialization Options for Source System' for Delta Init package? I need to include this step in a process chain, rather than deleting the init request manually.
Thanks,
Naveen.

Naveen,
As far as I know, nope. And it's logical, considering the Initialization is a "one time" process and not a repetitive one (unless you have to reinitialize, of course...)

CIF STEPS to load data from ECC to APO from Process chain

Hi,
i try to create on ECC system a process chain in order to execute the CIF program for updating APO Material/Plant Master data on DELTA mode .
I am not sure that the procedure is correct, at the moment i put on a chain:
- Step 1 Program RIMODGEN with a specific variant
-Step 2 Program RIMODACT2 with a specific variant.
Is necessary a third step with RIMODACT2 in order to deactivate the integration model?
On APO we have to insert other standard step in order to complete the delta update?
Any experience on similar situation?
Thanks,
Veronica

Veronica
You do not need a third step. You do not need to deactivate the model. In fact, it is not recommended to do so. You do not need any step in APO.
If your CIF setup is correct, the first two steps should be enough.
If by 'Delta', you mean field value changes to material/ plants in an existing integration model, you dont even need to do CFM1/ CFM2 if you have setup transaction CFC9 for BTE (online transfer).

Process Chain alerts not visible in UWL

I have carried out the weblog test that Ginger published at
/people/ginger.gatling/blog/2005/06/16/integrating-alerts-into-uwl--its-no-problem
and everthing worked fine.
We are, however, trying to use Process Chain alerts from CCMS. These alerts are visible if we run transaction RZ20 in the back end system but the UWL does not see them.
Is there a guide or something showing how to configure this?
Thank you

Hi Bernard,
I've checked out a couple of systems - you can create alert categories for process chain alerts, and once you have the category you can of course assign recipients.
In fact you should see some existing categories in your system for process chains in transaction ALRTCATDEF.
The UWL essentially reflects what is in the BSP ALRTINBOX as it is using the same/similar routines to derive the alert inbox worklist. So if you don't have anything in ALRTINBOX then it is correct that nothing is showing in UWL inbox as well.
You need to set up the categories and recipients against your process chain alerts.
I'm not all that familiar with BI Process Chains but a couple of minutes looking at the IMG in transaction SPRO showed that in transaction RSPC when you select a process chain you can use menu option Settings > Maintain Alert Categories to make the link between the process chain and the alert categories. You'll probably know what to enter here better than I do.

Jocelyn

Problem with triggering process chain

Hi
We have a remote process chain that calls a process chain in another system.The process chain in the other system is not getting triggered with the remote chain.
We have 3 such remote chains and we are facing such a problem with only one of them.
The process chain in the other system has a start variant which gets triggered( i suppose) and gives an instance id...the next step in the process chain is to load data into a ODS.Now this step remains yellow forever.When i manually try to schedule this step it gives me records and the request in the monitor screen turns green.But the process chain step continues to remain yellow.
What can be a way out for triggering the process chain or where could the problem be?
Please help
Thanks,
Suchi

Hi Suchitra,
Even though ur process seems to be in yellow your data loading may be completed and the reason for it may be the delay in activation of ODs by ur PC.
For your information please go through the below infm provided in SAp Library
Note when loading into an ODS object and for the subsequent, event-controlled update:
If you switched on the automatic activation in the ODS maintenance or administration, the monitor status for the request remains yellow after the load was successfully completed. Nevertheless, the subsequent processing for the InfoPackage is started, because the loading process is successfully completed.

Creating process chains in ECC

Dear APO/SCM experts,
I am a Basis consultant and have been requested by our SCM funtional expert to configure the ECC system so that he can maintain process chains directly in ECC (via transaction RSPC and RSA1).
He receives the following message in ECC when attempting to maintain the process chains: "You can only work in client 000".
I am no SCM expert, but are you not suppose to maintain these chains from SCM? We are using BW as well and the BW consultants have never requested me to perform this action in ECC (as I understand SCM and BW source systems, datasources, process chains etc. are very similar).
So, can you actually create and maintain process chains directly in ECC?
Regards,
CJ

you should be able to create Process chains in ECC or SCM or BW. the process and concept is the same
am not sure why ur SCM functional consultant asked u to create process chains in ECC and what he needs exactly. Maybe u should get more details. Maybe its a ECC process he wants to be done like say the integration models - not sure if you would want to do SCM processes from process chains in ECC
not sure of the msg about the client 000 though
yes you can create Process chains in ECC with the same RSPC transaction
maybe he thinks you can maintain it all from solution manager or a central admin system in ECC

How to delete Process Chains

Hi Experts,
I created Process chain for Deliveries in D sys and transported to P sys. Here we have six source systems so first we created 6 process chains for each source systems. Later we decide to add all those variants in one Process chain and we deleted individual process chain and transported to P sys.
So Process chains are deleted in D system and P system but changes are not effected in P system. Process Chains are not invisible both D & P systems.
But when we run the Deliveries Process chain, deleted Process chains are also running. And getting Error due to both are scheduled at same time. Because deleted Process chains are still showing in where used list....
Can any one help me guys!!!!
Thank you,
Suresh

Hi Suresh,
Can you please let us know what type of scheduling option you have used in the start variant.
Also please have a check if the start variant in all the chains are the same?
As per my understanding unless the start variant is triggered the chains will not get scheduled.
Also there is a bug in Bi7.0, that once the process chain transport has been completed to other environemt its starts getting executed if the start variant hold tha option as Direct scheduling - > Immediate.

Wierd process chain in BI 2004s(SP 18)

Dear Experts,
The following is our process chain design.
Process chain A contain process chain A1
Process chain B contain process chain B1
Process chain Z contain process chain A then B (Must serial!!)
A1 and B1 have 3 object : StartinfopackageDTP (The connection type is "ALWAYS")
Every object in A1,B1 has their own message (We click the "Express mail" in recipient tab).
Questions 1 :
We faced a problem when A1's infopackage failed with red light.
Although the connection between Infopackage ad DTP is "ALWAYS", the process hangs.
So process chain B is being waiting until user repeat or repair the A1's infopackge.
Notes: the situation doesn't always happen.
Question 2 :
We expect to get mail When A1's infopackge failed.
But if the situation in Q1 happened, we can't get the mail.
We must monitor the log of the process chain A1 and then SAPBI pops up a message screen.
The message is about alerting : "Process chain status is changed".
Until clicking YES we can receive the E-mail.
Does anyone have idea or solution related to them?
p.s It always happens when BI and ERP connection failed or infopackage wait until timeout.
Levitt

Hi,
Questions 1 :
We faced a problem when A1's infopackage failed with red light.
Although the connection between Infopackage ad DTP is "ALWAYS", the process hangs.
So process chain B is being waiting until user repeat or repair the A1's infopackge.
Notes: the situation doesn't always happen.
Ans:
Any process type will be triggered in the process chain based on predecessor success / failure status only. DTP is not triggered might be due to Waiting Time Up to Status Incorrect(in Load monitor -->Settings) is very less time .So try to change Waiting Time Up to Status Incorrect is more like Hours 5 or Days 1 .
Question 2 :
We expect to get mail When A1's infopackge failed.
But if the situation in Q1 happened, we can't get the mail.
We must monitor the log of the process chain A1 and then SAPBI pops up a message screen.
The message is about alerting : "Process chain status is changed".
Until clicking YES we can receive the E-mail.
Does anyone have idea or solution related to them?
Ans:
Did you add the Process chain message alerts to every process or all the process types add the OR process for Errors and add the message to OR process . Try set all settings in messaging system of process chain.

Krishna.

Process Chain Message for Run completion

Dear experts,
In our system the Process chains and as they complete processes, there are some messages, such as completion of run for master data or hierarchies...
Then when I run the PC, if I don't click to confirm the messages, the PC sometimes times out...
I would like to NOT display thoses messages.
How can I change the settings for that???
Alice

Dear Pravender,
What do you mean by block?
The start event or the attrib. change box?
if i right-click on them both I see:
"Display Variant...
Exchange variant...
Display all jobs
Create message...
Debug Loop...
Remove process"
I don't see "maintain message."
I think you mean that I should I click "create message..." and change successful to error.
If that correct?
Alice

Unable to find DTP from Process chain after SPS14

Hi BI-experts,
After applying SPS14 to our development and our test systems we are experiencing problems with our process chains. The latest problem is that after transporting one process chain (with dtp's) from dev to test the process chain states that the dtp does not exist in active version on test system. In the test system the process chain points to the wrong dtp technical name. The technical name it points to in test system is the techincal name of the DTP in development system. The dtp gets assigned a different name when transported to test, hence the reference to dtp is wrong in test.
I have tried the following:
- Reactivate the dtp on test- No success
- Deleting the dtp from test and transporting it and PC again - No
success
- Reactivating the PC and DTP on dev and transporting it again - No
sucess
Please help.

If anyone else experience this problem I can inform you that implementing note 1147587 solved it.

Process chain time

Hi,
I am trying to load the data in development system throught process chain.But last time data is loaded in 2007.When I start the chain its giving message that incorrect start date.When I try to chage the date today.Same message I am getting.Please any one tell me how to solve the problem.
Regards,
Nikitha

hi,
you tried today's date, how's the time ? did you set in 1-2 mins forward or few mins 5-10 ? or can try 'immediate' ?
hope this helps.
