Meta Chain Issue

Hi All,
I have some meta chains in the process chain and all of the meta chains are triggered using-
"Start using Meta Chain or API"
Its evident that, once we triggerr the start varinat in the main chain the rest of meta chains get triggered. In our case one particular meta chain is not getting triggered at all. But the rest have gone fine. In the process chain Log view, its staying in yellow for a long time and in SM37, the job is getting cancelled.
the message I got in Log view, at the time the meta chain gets triggered is, "Process chain variant is ZA******** is not scheduled waiting for event RSPROCESS 4A******"
I have tried all the possibilities of "Repeat, Kill the process in SM51"
Can you please advise, the solution for this.
Thanks in advance,
Cheers,

hi,
right click on that meta chain yu will reach the planning view there in change selcetion icon .. you set the setting to immediate and remove the tick for perodic and then schedule it ..
hope this helps you ..
regards,
Shikha

Process Chain Issue

Hi Gurus
When i am executing the Process chain which contains two loads(two local chain)- Master data and transaction load.
After trigger the master variant, it goes to the Master data local chain, but Its showing the yellow status for long time.
But, if we dig in to log and see the message.. its showing "Communication buffer deleted from previous run".
It did not trigger any load inside the master data. But, if i schedule the each processes manually, its successful.
Thanks in advance.
Variant settings:
First variant set to Immediate start
Master data load variant set to Start using meta chain or API
Transaction data load variant set to Start using meta chain or API
Note: Even i changed Master data load variant and Transaction data load variant to Immediate start. Still did not work.
I activated the chain many times too.

I have one meta chain.that meta chain have 5 local chains 2 local is failed

Dear All,
i have one meta chain.that meta chain have 5 local chains 2 local is failed in the mddle. 3,4,5 chains were went successful.i knoe the solution hoe to correct. i want to execute rest of process of the second chain only. i dont want to 3rd , 4th and Fifth. i can not do Manully for evry process chain in the second chain because second local chain is very big chain. i can not do repeat also .suppose if i go for repeat again 3rd , 4th ,5 thsteps will be execut.
hoe can i solve this issue.please guide me.

Hi
Right click on the green block, from where the next block is not triggering. Take the variant and instance value.
Goto table RSPCPROCESSLOG and give the variant and instance value as input. Check the state field value. It should be G (i.e. successfully completed) then only next block will be triggered.
If you want to start next block manually, goto function module RSPC_PROCESS_FINISH, give i_logid, i_type, i_variant and i_instance values from RSPCPROCESSLOG table and enter i_state value as G.
After executing the function module, next block of the process chain will automatically start.

Frequest process chain issue - Database selection was interrupted

hi experts,
we are running master data meta chains daily, and we have PP,SD,MM,LO,FI,PS masterdata meta chains running daily, and everyday 2-3 process chains are failing, it is extracting only 50000 records and the requests becomes RED.
if i check the long text of the error message, it is giving the below error message.
Database selection was interrupted (see long text)
Message no. RSBK072
Diagnosis
You are extracting data from a DataSource or an InfoProvider. The selection is made with an open database cursor. This cursor has been invalidated by one of the following ABAP statements:
COMMIT WORK
ROLLBACK WORK
CALL TRANSACTION
SUBMIT
The ABAP statement responsible for termination probably ran in a transformation routine programmed by you.
System Response
Request processing has ended with errors.
Procedure
Change the code for the transformation in which one of the specified ABAP statements is executed. If you are using statement COMMIT WORK, replace it with:
CALL FUNCTION 'DB_COMMIT'.
again if i delete the request from the target and repeat it is working fine but taking lot of time. but there are no routines in the transformations.
please provide us the solution to rectify the issues as it is causing lot of reporting issues.

venuscm

hi experts,
here is the source 0MAT_PLANT_TEXT and the target is 0MAT_PLANT.
info package load is very fast, but DTP it is taking lot of time if i execute the DTP Manually.
The data packets are processed very fast, but after that at the bottom
Set technical status to green and
set overall status to green in yellow very long time, due to this DTP Load for above master data is taking long time.
how to resolve this?
any solutionz pl.

I want to kill a particular process chain from a meta chain..

Hi All,
I want to kill a particular process chain from a meta chain as, its having some technical issues.So what is the procedure.to handle this process..
Thanks..

follow these steps
1.Go to the chain which you want to kill .
2.Go in the log view->top menu bar execution tab.>Remove from schedule.
you are done
Another way (bit complex but will work )
1.Go to the process chain running (which you want to kill) in the log view copy the logid (lef hand side of screen you can get that)
2.Open a new session ,Go to se37 enter function module RSPC_PROCESS_FINISH -->execute it
3.Now again go Log view of the process chain right click on the start variant>display messages>Chain tab
copy the variant ,instance ,date time etc
4.IN execution screen of RSPC_PROCESS_FINISH enter the variant,instance,data time,logid and Type=TRIGGER
status = R.
Actually you will see something like this in input screen
I_LOGID -
>from log view in RSPC
I_CHAIN
I_TYPE   -
>TRIGGER for start variant
I_VARIANT----
>from log view in RSPC
I_INSTANCE------>from log view in RSPC
I_STATE     -
>R
I_EVENTNO                       00
I_HOLD
I_JOB_COUNT
I_BATCHDATE   -
>from log view in RSPC
I_BATCHTIME                     00:00:00
I_DUMP_AT_ERROR
Thats all and your are done.
But I would suggest Remove from Schedule will surely work....If you have any doubts let me know.

Meta Chain in a meta chain

Hi Folks,
I have one meta chain which has master data loads local chains and then has an atrib change run and then a Transaction data meta chain in it.
The transaction data meta chain has many local chains. After the first two local chains, theres an AND condition and then the next set of local chains are scheduled.
Problem is that after the AND, the next set of local chains are not triggered. I have included preceeding event based triggers as scheduling paramters.
Why does the next set of local chains stop? Is it normal to have meta chains inside meta chains?? And have u come across a unknown job that gets created named BI_PROCESS_TRIGGER in case of event based triggering??
Thanks in advance
Regards
Prakash

Hi Prakash,
Meta chain in a Meta chain will work most of the times. Very rarely does it give problems. When ever we have a similar problem as you have described. We go into each meta chain and trigger them manually for that day. Once the chains are all run. We Deschedule the Entire Main chain, check if there are any released jobs for each Meta Chain/process steps, delete these released jobs. Then we activate and schedule the Main chain, this resolves our problem and the chains runs without issues the following days.

Praveen.

Need help with BW Process chain issue

Hi Gurus,
I had made a copy of the existing process chain so that I can work on the changes. Its a metachain and I tried to copy a sub chain.
But at a later point of time, I have realized that the process chain had got into a nested loop in the meta chain, for the sub chain, I had copied. How do I rectify it?
Kindly suggest

hi,
use the bottom up approach.
Looking at the attached file it has many PCs.
Just note down all list of all PC and then do the copy of individual PCs, later you can copy the complete meta chain.
If you want give one more chance and try to copy meta chain again.
Thank-You.

VB

Process Chain issue-Needs urgent Help

R/3 Master Data Main Chain
Problem Description:
When we trigger the process chain from SM64, the process chain fails at the step as shown below.
There are no logs for the local chain i.e. the local chain fails without linking.
If we manually schedule the local chain it runs successfully.
The error message changed as and when we tried fixing the defects. Each of them with the solutions tried for them is explained below.
ERROR 1:
The error message which we got was as Cannot Activate Job BI_PROCESS_LOADING (return code 8).
Solution tried:
1.     Replicating Data Sources and activating the transfer and communication structures by running the programs RS_COMSTRU_ACTIVATE_ALL and RS_TRANSTRU_ACTIVATE_ALL.
ERROR 2:
Later we found that the released job was missing for failed local chain.
Solution tried:
1.     We created a new job by copying a previous job.
ERROR 3:
When we re-scheduled the process chain, we got the error message as shown below.
Solution tried:
1.     Deleted all the logs which were in running status.
ERROR 4:
After re scheduling the process chain we are getting the error message as shown below. This is the error message we are getting now.
Solutions Tried:
1.    Saving the variant and reactivating the process chains.
2.     Replicating Data Sources and activating the transfer and communication structures by running the programs RS_COMSTRU_ACTIVATE_ALL and RS_TRANSTRU_ACTIVATE_ALL.
3.     Changing the scheduling options of the failed local chain to Start using Meta Chain or API from Direct Scheduling.
4.     We searched for locked entries in SM12. There are no locked entries.
5.     We ran attribute change run with variant for info object Profit Center from the following path
    RSA1-> Tools-> Apply Hierarchy/ Attribute Change Run. We created a new variant for the info object.
We still could not find a solution. do let us know if you have any inputs.
Thanks,
Mayuri

Hi All,
Please reply ASAP. Its critical.
We created a new process chain and when we do a check on it,we are getting a warning message.
We just upgraded our Dev box from 3.5 to 7.0. Our master data process chains, which reflect samples delivered by SAP, are giving warnings saying "too many parallel processes" for chosen server. It refers us to note 621400.
I am curious to know if others have run into this, and if they have changed their MD process chains to run in a serial fashion.
Prior to the upgrade, we had no deadlocks with process chains.
Thanks.

How can I find corresponding meta chain in RSPC

Hello Gurus,
I have a local process chain, how can I find corresponding meta chain in RSPC? and also I have already created a process chain, How can I changed the name of this process chain?
Many thanks,

Hi,
Basically all chains are same, but if you click on Start it will goto Start Process Screen there you can find Scheduling Options, in that Direct Scheduling is selected so it is Main Chain (Meta Chain), if it is Starting using Meta Chain API is selected then it is local chain in that meta chain.
Note: Basicall all Chains are same based on above differnecce you can find it.
By Looking at Chain we can decide it is it Meta chain or Norma Chain, if you open RSPC and then Open any Chain If it is having
Start-->Local , then it is Meta Chain and Local is Norma Chain.
Thanks

Row chaining issue in Oracle 10g

Hello All,
I was seeing row chaining issue in one of our production DB. Row chaining was present in all tables having LONG RAW columns.
As of now I am not supposed to change these to BLOB/CLOB, so I did exp/imp to solve the issue. However, we are repeating this excercise once every quarter, and now it is time we put a permanent fix to it.
One of such tables has below storage parameters:
PCTUSED    0
PCTFREE    10
INITRANS   1
MAXTRANS   255
STORAGE    (
            INITIAL          40K
            MINEXTENTS       1
            MAXEXTENTS       UNLIMITED
            PCTINCREASE      0
            BUFFER_POOL      DEFAULT
           )Can I be advised what would be the tuning options in above? Note: All of these tables are in GB's.
For any inputs, please let me know.

Query regarding meta chain in SAP BI

Hi can any body solve the problem on this Meta chain in SAP BI..
There is a meta chain which holds three process chains say N1,N2,N3. in a sequential order.
Now here as soon as the meta chain is triggered the process chain N1 is executed properly and is is in green..but after this the next process chain N2 is not getting triggered..can anybody tell me the reason for that??

check the start parameter of 2nd chain
it should be immediate

Dear Suman,
To initiate the mails we first need to have SMTP connection. To check the same go to so00 and try sending mails to ur ID. If is successful it states that u have the SMTP access.
To create mails to Process chains:
Right Click on the Process varient select the Create Message in the context menu.
Select the type of mail i.e for successful, Error, Anyways.
Then follow the screens.
Note: The recipient type should be Via Internet.
Hope this helps u.

Failed meta chain maintenance in Process chain in SAP BI

Hi all,
I have a Process chain having the meta chain of master data population.When successful , proceeds with the further steps in process chain. It has been scheduled in midnight.
After monitoring the PC , found the error in the master meta chain , so i repeat the step.
Here , after success of meta chain all steps gets running down the line till the end step in PC.
I do not want to re-run the steps below meta chain after repeat step.
Any Ideas to ignore the re-run ??

Hi,
If your Process is still running(Yellow color status) then right click it and go to Schduled Jobs. On this you will go to Job Overview there you can press STOP.
Else go to the SM37, there you can go and select your process using your process ID and STOP it.
And if you want to kill the complete process chain then go for Remove from Schedule.
Different Ways to stop process chain
1)SM37 -->Kill Job
2)SM50/sm66- ->Kill process
3)RSPC>Job Log>Make the process RED forecefully.
4)RSPC>Process chain> main Menu"Remove from Scheduling" OR
5)se37-->RSPC_API_CHAIN_INTERRUPT
give RFC BW system name(technical) and process chain name(technical)
Steps 1 -3 stops the chain running in process
Steps 4-5 stops the chain AFTER the current job which is running is completed as sucessful or Failure by nature.
Hope this helps you.

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.
