New Process Chain Activation

When a new process is transported to qa or prod it has to be MANUALLY activated one time before the NEW: prefix is removed and the chain can be used by a meta chain.
Is there a configuration setting or some way to have the chain AUTOMATICALLY activated when it is transported to qa or prod?
Thanks,
Mike S.

Hi Mike,
Welcome to SDN!!
You would need to do that to enable the schedule the process chain. I did notice an OSS Note or some document which stated the settings usinh which we can avoid this. I dont have access to my documents now. Would search and post.
Meanwhile all the posts discussed here talk about manual activation:
Process chain scheduling in QA
Process Chain Status is new after transport to QA

Why process chain activation is taking more time?

Hi BW Gurus,
I am going to activate the process chain, but it takes more time to activate the process chain . What may be the reasons ?
Regards,
Raju

Hi,
Process chain activation becomes slow due to the following reasons.
1)Large no of entities in RSPCCHAIN Table i.e, there is lot of process chains and very large process chains.
2)There is a missing index for the RSPCCHAIN Table.
Solution for this problem is we have to create an index for the following fields of the RSPCCHAIN table.
EVENT_GREEN
EVENT_PGREEN
EVENT_RED
EVENT_PRED
Still if you want further clarification on this , Refer the following sap notes.
906512---Activating process chain is very slow.

Creating the New Process Chains in BW System

Hi SDN,
What is the best practice of creating the New Process Chain?
1. Whether to create the Process Chain in BW Development first and trasferring it through transfer request
OR
2. Create directly the Process Chain in the BW Production and schedule it
Please provide the views.........
Kind regards,
Rajesh Giribuwa

hI rAJESH,
Ya,we must create any development in development system and then subsequesntly to test and then production system.
but my exp was differnt in one of my project .
i have developed the pc in dev first and then trasported to test and then prod,
it worked fine in dev and test but in prod it was not running ,due to some system resources.
so i did the change direclty in prod and then it worked .
but it was risk .
hope this is helpful

Process chain activation : 0 c hains were selected

Hi all
I have scheduled process chains in production.
Because one of the metachain is showing error while loading infopackage,in the production I have created a new infopackage and added it to the chian.Then activated the metachain.
But when i was trying to activate the main chain it showing message"0 chains were selected"
As a result when i scheduled the chain the old meta chain comes into picture instead of the modified chain.
ERROR MESSAGE
0 Chains Were Selected
Message no. RSPC031
Diagnosis
Specifying process chain ID 'ZN_0MATERIALATTR, type V2&', and variant '' has resulted in the selection of 0 process chains. The selection has been called without confirmation by the user. This means that the user was unable to make a selection.
System Response
The function is terminated.
Procedure
There is porbably an error in the program. Look for corresponding notes.
Please let me know how to solve this issue.
Thanks,
harika.

Hi harika,
Looks like the new meta chain was not in activated state....
Was the meta chain active and scheduled?
Is the meta chain running for the first time?
Also check the scheduling options how the Meta process chain is triggered?
if so , Make sure the event exist in the new meta chain. this may be causing the error.
if you had changed and created a new meta chain try to activate the new meta chain once and schedule it again and check.
Have you transported the PC or created in Production directly?
if transported from dev to prod check the log if there are any errors?
Also check if the below s note helps you
Note 1323015 - Correction: RSPC031 during transport of metachains

Error in process chain activation

HI
I am learning on 3.0b,(on my pc) while using process chains, at the time of activating the process chain it is giving the following error "JOB BI_PROCESS_PSAPROCESS COULD NOT BE SCHEDULED, TERMINATION WITH RETURN CODE 8". Why am getting this error, is there anything wrong with my system or software or there any mistake in activating process chain" (what ever may be the process type i use, i am getting this error), plz help me.
thanks

Hi Ganesh,
The possible reason for that error is the User type of the background user. Please check out OSS note 511475 which talks about this problem and possible solution. I have used this earlier.
You can see this for info on how to make the change:

In Process Chain Activation of DSO is falling

Hello Techies,
In the Process chain the activation of DSo is falling but when I go and check the in the Manage DSo.
The Data is activated and available for reporting.
I dont know why in the Process chain the activation of DSO is falling ?
Regards,
Quaraishi

Hi
It depends on background job resource availability at the time of DSO Activaton. Also check the settings of the variant DSO Activation process for each DSO activation and make it separate with number of processes to 2 for activation.
Save the changes and activate it. Should work correctly now.
Thanks,
Sunil

while i try to save my process chain its giving warning that 'Add at least one process to the chain before saving' and when i try to activate the chain its giving below error
Chain has no starter. Add a starter.
Message no. RSPC020
Diagnosis
The process chain has no start-process. A process chain always requires exactly one general starter.

Hi Harish,
Will you please goto process chain start varint and give the new varint for that and try to execute it once again..it will work for you...
If you could check once the check button all will be green and you can able to activate the process chain...I hope you are maintained the infoobjects in attr bute change run...problem might be with the start varint ionly...change the start varint and if you could not able to activate please let me know....

Process chain Activation Variant failed

Dear Gurus
In BI7 executed a process chain,in this ods activation is in 4 th step,turned in to red,i repeated and got executed.
Questions:
1.I checked in DSO all data got activated,only in process chain showed red status....how it is possible.
2.Eventhough 4th step turned in to red,below all (5,6,7...th steps) went through,how it happened,if some variants failed means next variant should not get executed?
3.When i did repeat it thrown ABAP debugging screen,i executed and went through well,ods activation variant became green.
When i was trying to see display message,it is empty no error message.
Root cause analysis i should give...pls how and where to do the analysis.....
Thanks and regards
T.Gadhatharan

Hi,
1.I checked in DSO all data got activated,only in process chain showed red status....how it is possible.
In the ODS Activation Process, is there any other ODSs existed for activation?
2.Eventhough 4th step turned in to red,below all (5,6,7...th steps) went through,how it happened,if some variants failed means next variant should not get executed?
After the 4th Step, the further processes executed means, they might have put the settings as Success or failure of the predecessor process it can through the further 5th, 6th and 7th processes.
3.When i did repeat it thrown ABAP debugging screen,i executed and went through well,ods activation variant became green.
Check for short dumps ST22.
Hope it helps.

Process chains Activation

Hi,
I have transported few Process Chains(PC) from DEV -> PROD system.
I am not able to activate the same. All the PCs are in 'Not assigned' Node and are grey.
These PC were running normal in DEV.

Hi,
In general, PC will in inactive status ,eventhough transports are successfully imported.
you can try to activate manually.
Ur second question is ur not ablr to activate the PC?
In production becasue of security resons cross clint will be closed, we can not activate the PC if the cross clint is closed.
Check with the basis team to open cross clint and try to activate.
This just for your info...cross clint will be open via SCC4 transaction...this is secure transaction,use care fully.
Hope this helps you...Let us know if u requre any further info on this.

How to move the process chain from Unassigned node to a new node in 3.5?

Hi all,
I have created a new process chain in the development and it is falling under the Unassigned nodes. I want to move that process chain to an another node. but i am unable to do that
Can anyone let me know how to move the process chain from unassigned node. I have drag and dropped but still the same in BW 3.5 ?
Thanks
Poooja

Hello,
Try this....
Double click on your process chain. Via the menu select:
Process chain > Attributes > Display components
Select F4 (possible entries)
At the bottom of the window you will find a create icon
to make your own component.
After you created it, assign it to your process chain.
Don't forget to save the process chain.

Process chain alteration in BI 7 with new DTPs and Infopackages

Dear All,
For my BI system, the source system got replaced from 4.7 to ECC 6.0 system. All the datasources that were earlier part of old system were recreated in the new one too.
Now, I have a process chain in my production system which handles all the master data and transactional data loading. It makes use of the Infopackages(with respect to the old system) to load these data. Since I have new datasources, so I will be having new Infopackages too(with respect to the new system). I need to replace all the old infopackages with the newly created ones in the process chain. Is there any direct step or method for this or shall I have to create a new process chain from scratch ?
Regards,
Srinivas

hii
As soon as u click on the info pkg & right click on it it shows the number of options like to display the variant , exchange the variant, connect with, etc.
So go in the edit mode of process chain, right click on info pkg variant & select exchange variant, it opens a box having aal info pkgs, select the desired info pkg & save & activate the process chain
thanks

Unable to see the new transported Process Chain

Hi all,
I just made change to one of existing Process Chain in Dev, and also created a new one. I transported from Dev to Q successfully, but couldn't find it anywhere in RSPC. For the Existing Process Chain, I saw the changes in Q, but the chain's name has not been changed. Do you know why?
Thanks!

If your transport system is not set up to activate the process chain automatically after importing, then your new process chain may have "New:" in the beginning of the description. And since the process chains are organized within each Application Componenet by description, it may not be in the place where you think it should.
You should also check your transport in Dev to insure you collected the new chain.

Change on process chain not visible in display mode after transport

All,
We have changed a process chain where message notification was active in development.
We have deleted the notification and created a transport. This has been released and implemented into the QA system without a problem.
When displaying the new process chain in QA the change was not visible. But in change mode it is.
Can anyone tell us what might be a cause/solution for this? Also for future changes.
Gui error??
Thanks in advance.

hi,
Try activating the PC again in the QA.
if still it does reflect the message notification, then try creating the request again
in DEV and transport.
make sure you r out of the Process chains in DEV nad QA when transport happens.
This is just a practice.
Regards,
Dhanya.
