Multiple DTP's in single process chain

Hello BW guru's
can we have many DTP's in a single process chain? If so, how can we do that?

Krishna,
You can have multipl DTP's in single process chain.
Assume a scenario where you need to update from DSO to Multiple targets.
If you want to run the DTP one after another use AND
otherwise drag and drop the DTP and link it...

Matser and trasactional data upload thru a single process chain

Hi,
is it possible to automize both master data and transactional data in a single process chain?i mean to say can we design a process chain so that we can automize transaction and master data together?
if yes, can any one send me the steps and process blocks?
i have in master data one text and one hioerarchy and transactional data!
Thanks,
Ravi

Hi Ravi,
We can load the 2 types of Data through a Process chain.
1. Create start variant.
2. Drag n drop Execute Info Pack from left side panel ( Load Process and post Processing ). Slect ur text Info Package.
Do the same and select Hier Info Package.
Place all the Files on Application server AL11.
3. Drag n drop Collection process AND
4. Drag n drop Execute Info Pack from left side panel ( Load Process and post Processing ). Slect ur Transaction Data Info Package.
5. Establish a connection between Master Data Info Packages and Transaction Data Info Packages using AND.
By this ur specifying that load Master data first, if it is successful load Transaction data.
6. Goto Start variant > Maintain Variant. Schedule it according to ur time like when u want to start like Immediately / After Job / After Event.
Assign points if it is helpful.

Using multiple EIM tables in single process section

Hi ,
Often we come across a situation where in some required columns are mapped in one EIM table and some mapped in the other EIM table mapped to a given base table.
Is there a way wherein we can utilize multiple EIM table having mapping of a base table under the same process section with only base table parameter poiting to the target table.?
Regards,
Ashutosh

Hi,
May be I have misinterpreted what has been mentioned in the EIM admin guide.In the page 41 chapter EIM Configuration File the following has been mentioned for the TABLE paramter.Therefore i was wondering if we can use more than one table in a given process section in IFB file.
[TABLE           Required. Specifies the name of an EIM table used in this process.
                     *Multiple TABLE parameters may be used to define a process using*
                     *more than one table*.
                     Example:
                     TYPE = EXPORT
                     BATCH = 101
                     TABLE = EIM_ACCOUNT
                     EXPORT MATCHES = S_ORG_EXT, (NAME > A)
NOTE: For performance reasons, you should limit the number of
tables to export or merge in a single process section to five tables or
fewer.]

How to identify the dtp used in the process chain in bi 7?

Hi all,
I have a a couple of dtp in the production system, i need to find out what are all the process chains using this DTP?
Can anyone help me on this!!
thanks

Right click on DTP - If 'process chain' option is enabled for navigation it means it's already used by Process chain - click on it will take you to PC
If it's disabled then It's not locked in any PC

Error transport, when the DTP is implemented in Process chain

Dear all,
we are facing with a problem: when a DTP is already implemented in a process chain, the tranport of that depending transformation will get an error (return code 8) with message like this:
"Start of the after-import method RS_TRFN_AFTER_IMPORT for object type(s) TRFN (Aktivierungs
Transformation 04QJHDX7E941CZLCQDNNO6FQX06GB61B deleted in version M of DDIC
Action canceled
The user terminated processing of objects
Impact analysis of Transformation 04QJHDX7E941CZLCQDNNO6FQX06GB61B
The user terminated processing of objects
Error when activating Transformation 04QJHDX7E941CZLCQDNNO6FQX06GB61B
Dependent object DTPA DTP_049H3XG5UDOXUJ5RG44W3JN30 set to inactive
If we deleted the DTP in the process chain first, then reimport the transformation, the transport will be succesful. But that is not really the solution, isn't it? What is here the phenomenon? Do we need some setting else or is there any SAP notes for this?
Thanks a lot for advise!
Van Anh Nguyen

Hi,
sorry that I may not be clear in my explaination. The Scenario is below:
- we create a transformation in C
- transport it to Q and create there DTP and process chain. It works well for a long time.
- then change something in transformation in C due to an enhancement
- try to transport transformation to Q, but it failed. Transformation inactive. DTP inactive.
- try again by deletion DTP in PC (in Q)
- reimport transformation again --> that works. Transformation transported and active in Q. But DTP lost and we have to re-create it in PC.
Question: is there any method to avoid the step of DTP-deletion ? Thank you!

How to trigger a single Process Chain within a Metchain

Hi All,
I had a couple of failures in the overnight dataloads. I need to trigger just 1 process chain within the daily metachain. I do not want the subsequent chains to be triggered.
The variant on this process chain is set to 'Start Using Metachain or API' I am aware that I need to change this to 'Direct Scheduling' and immediate and then execute. I need to ensure however that the subsequent chains are NOT triggered.
Many Thanks BI Experts!
Michelle

Hi,
you can goforward making it to immediate schedule as you said.
Also after your chain completes execution make it back to start using metachain.
I faced the same scenario and did this step and next daily load was succesful .
Also going forward this way will not trigger the subsequent chains.
Thanks & Regards,
Vishnu

Single Process chain triggers with two different users

Hello all,
I have process chain which is triggering two times with R/3 user at 7 PM and same process chain with 9 PM by BW user. but in rspc i have given only with BW user.
how second R/3 Chain is triggering?
R/3 to PSA Full load daily. BI System.
Thanks,
Ranga

Are you using an event to trigger this process chain?
If yes then check in R/3, whether you are triggering that event in R/3.

Duplicate DTP in Process chain

Hi folks,
I have 2 separate loads (infopackages) scheduled that load into infoobject via a DTP. I can't run these both before running the DTP as this may result in duplicate entries. Ideally, I would run the infopackage 1 followed by DTP and then infopackage 2 followed by the same DTP. Within the process chain workbench, it does not allow for this which is understandable. Is there a way to do this in a process chain? or 2 separate process chains is the only way to achieve this?
Thanks.

Hi Intel
It sorts the entries and delete adjacent duplicate.
10000     A
10000    A
20000    B
30000    C
50000    D
50000    D
Now it will delete duplicate records like 10000,50000. For InfoObject it does not create any problem as in InfoObject level it is always OVERWRITE.
and it does all the processing before sending records to InfoObject attribute table
You can also enable Error Handling in DTP (valid records update, request green) without selecting "Duplicate records handle".
This will send all the duplicate to Error stack and you can compare and understand how it works

DTP failure which was in process chain after transport

Hi,
I created a DTP in Development Server and it get transported to QA successfully.
I also created a Prcocess Chain that execute that DTP. When I tried to transport this Process Chain to QA, transport was sucess but when i check in QA process chain was not in active mode. its showing the error that DTP is not in active A version.
Error:Process variant DTP_LOAD DTP_4AEIYC0UV528F7W1JL587E7HR does not exist in version A
I checked the DTP in QA and I noticed that the DTP has been converted to a different technical name which is not the same as the one I transported from Development.
Example: DTP DTP_LOAD DTP_4AEIYC0UV528F7W1JL587E7HR in Dev is converted to DTP_4AN4TVDRYNSMT95UGI48JVC6J in QA.
Please advise how I can transport the Process Chain that call this DTP from dev to QA

Hi Sri,
You need to collect your DTP along with the Process chain in the same request. When you migrate DTPs from DEV to QA , a new DTP ID are generated in QA system and your DTP in the Process chain points to DEV's DTP and that is why you get this error. You can also find more information when you turn on the " Detail View On" from the menu. This will display technical name of all the objects in your process chain.
so recollect your DTPs and the process chains objects in the same transport request and migrated to QA ,this will Fix you issue.
Hope it helps,
Cheers,
Balaji

Error in transporting process chain

Hi
i added two DTP's in the process chain and transported. The transport ended with errors.
The following is the error msg:
Results of check for process AND EVEN_4CEJM320EVCIY0L5L62W61JVB in chain PC_BI_TD_POSDM_CAST:
Process variant AND EVEN_4CEJM320EVCIY0L5L62W61JVB does not exist in version A

Process variant AND EVEN_4CEJM320EVCIY0L5L62W61JVB does not exist in version A
I saved and activated the process chain but still transport to QA ending with errors.
When i saved the process chain in DEV, i am getting the msg:
Version 'M' of chain PC_BI_TD_POSDM_CAST was saved without checking
What does that mean?
REgards
Annie

Hi
If I got your question properly, Your AND Event is not Collected at the time of Transport.
Try to Re Export the Process chain with all necessary grouped objects.
Version 'M' of chain PC_BI_TD_POSDM_CAST was saved without checking
What does that mean?
Try to Check-- Save and then Activate and Then Transport .
Please follow the Sequence for the transport, You may recheck the flow again
Transport Sequence
Info Objects,
DSO
INFO CUBE
TRANSFORMATIONS
MP
INFOSETS
PROCESS CHAINS
QUERIES
Objects need to be transported with respect to their
dependencies
InfoProviders will bring in all relevant InfoObjects
Importing of Global variables is dependant on their reference
InfoObject being already active
Queries, workbooks and roles are dependant on InfoProviders
and InfoObjects being active
Use the Transport Connection Tool to analyze your objects
Transport all customer-defined packages (dev classes) before
transporting objects
Transport InfoProvider(s) using the "In Data Flow Before" or
"Only Necessary Objects" grouping option
Transport all Global Variables with primary package
assignment
i.e. ZBW
Transport BEx objects with appropriate individual package
assignment
Transport roles and workbooks together.
Hope it helps

Updating an existing process chains created in 3.5 upgraded to 7.0

I added DTP's to my process chain, see below process.
1) Load Inventory data to PSA (R3 to BI)
2) Run ODS DTP
3) Activate ODS
4A) Run DTP to Cube (If I add this, it works, but the Process Chain shows warning, must have Further processing before DTP to Cube.) Is a warning okay?
4B) Run Further Processing (Data Store object, ODS_BF). The Process chain check shows no warning, no error. But, when the process chain is executed, this last process executes DTP to the cube and also executes the Info Package from BI to BW (8ODS). We are not using the Info Package of BI to BW at this time, we did not migrate this info package.
Please help me understand how this should work.
Thanks,
Maximina Barry

Warning is okay but its no harm to have " Further Processing " in ur chain.
1. Start
2. Execute Infopackage ( loads till psa )
3.Execute DTP ( to load DSO frm PSA )
4.Activate DSO
5.Further Processing
6.Delete Indexes for Cube
7.Execute DTP ( to load Cube frm DSO )
8.Create Indexes for Cube
Infopackages n DTPs shud all be delta in update type.
<b>Delete n Creating Indexes if preffered for performance.</b>
Also look at : Further Processing Type In Process Chain

Process InfoPackage based on a condition in Process Chain

Hi,
I would like to include a Function Module in my Process Chain.Based on the output of the Function Module (example Flag - 'A','B','C') I would like to load data from Infopackage.
Could you please suggest the best possible solution.
Thanks,
Nimai

then you need a decision step...
as you want to use a FM to get the outcome, you can't use the standard decision step as you can only use a formula...
so you need to implement a new decision step...look on sdn for the how to paper 'Enhanced Decision Process Type for BW Process Chains'...
this how to paper will lead you to create a process step of the type decision but you can use abap forms (take a look at it and it will become clear)...once you have done this, drag/drop the step in your chain. within the variant, you can define the result of the if, elseif, else...you can add as much elseif as you want (a lot in any case)...you need to create for every 'if' the form using the FM... back in the process chain you can link this step to all the infopackages, and indicate the result of the decision step leading to the infopackage execution...
that's the nice way...
the easy way :
create for every infopackage a single process chain (you can easily copy them)...they should start after event EV_A, EV_B, and so on...every chain after another event...now create an abap program and call the function module...now depending on the outcome of your FM you can trigger one of the events and the corresponding chain will start, leading to the correct infopackage being loaded.
look on abap forum on more info about event triggering, how to create event,...

Process chain creation: error:

Hi,
i am creating process chain for the data upload of three info packages!
Two are master data IPs and one is transactional data IP. ( Requirement is to make single process chain for the master data and transactional data ).
Before transactional data upload, i had included the process delete indexes.
When i check the process chain, it says:
"process DROPCUBE variant is referenced but not in the chain "
May i know what is wrong with this process flow? i had actually done similarly in dev system it was not giving any error:
Please suggest me
Thanks,
Ravi

Hi Ravi,
Did you go for Meta chain, if not please try that. Be a bit clear on the question.

Process chain is not visible in Quality after TR transport

Hi,
I have transported process chain to Qua, but its not visible, only the technical id of process chain is displayed in RSPC tcode. I've tried activating through RSPC_CHAIN_ACTIVE_REMOTE, but still, its not visible in rspc tcode.

Thru not assigned nodes you have issue.
All objects are at prod not in place or not inactive.
So first transport your data flow objects(one by one as suggested at another thread) one by one again to prod and make them proper activation.
at final you can transport your process chain into prod and check it.
With out info pack/dtps at prd, connected process chain how will display the chain.
One the data flow you have issue, please try understand the issue and re transport whole data flow.

Process Chain - Unable to delete overlapping request

Hi Gurus
I'm in the mid of creating process chain to load transaction data in which I need to delete the previous load that loaded in using the same DTP previously
In the process chain , i have included a process "Delete Overlapping Request from Infocube" . Once i'm in the screen of maintain variant for this process, i selected DTP as the object type but unable to find the DTP that i have created under the object name.
Can someone point out what is missing
Thank you

Hi,
Looks like you need to give the the techincal name of the DTP. if you are un able to find the technical name of the DTP you can find that in the transport organizer.
just drag and drop the infoprovider ( with dataflow before) you will ge the DTP as required.
note the technical name of the DTP .
include the technical name in the process and activate the process.
