New system, problems in process chain

Hi,
Recently we made a copy from Prod system to new one. The copy was successfully and the connection with the R/3 system too. But when I try to execute a process chain, I receive the following message: Job BI_PROCESS_CHAIN could not be scheduled. Termination with returncode 8
and the system log shows:
BP_STEPLIST_EDITOR: Invalid step values (step 1 ) found. Reason
> User RFCUSER cannot be scheduled due to its type
BP_JOB_EDITOR: Job BI_PROCESS_CHAIN is invalid. Reason:
> Step 1 contains illegal values
As I see, the problem is with RFCUSER (communications user) but I don't know what can be?
I will appreciate your help
regards,
victoria

<b>Reason and Prerequisites</b>
1. The user type of background user is incorrect.
2. Invalid host name setting.
3. Server name spelt wrong or wrong case-sensitivity for server name in sm51.
4. Process chain scheduled to run on a server which does not exist.
5. No instance is defined but the operation mode is set in sm63..
<b>Solution</b>
1. Set the background user profile according to note 511475.
2. Check the host name setting in sm65 and correct if necessary (refer note 23538).
3. Check the server settings in sm51 i.e., check for the spelling and correct case.
4. Schedule the chain with a valid server.
5. Maintain an instance of operation mode in rz04

Problem in Process chains - Need help

Dear Experts
I have a problem in Process chains
I have ODS1 from which Iu2019m updateing the ODS2 and ODS3 with same Delta infopackage.
The difference between ODS2 and ODS3 is in ODS2 Iu2019m loading with Local Currency
And in ODS3 is getting loaded with Group Currency
When Iu2019m running with Process chain its executing twice as below
First time : It is showing only ODS2 as the Datatarget and loading all the delta records to ODS2
Secondtime: Its showing both ODS2 and ODS3 in Datatarget and loading with 0 Records.
In this way No record is getting updated in ODS3.
Could you please share your thoughts on why it is triggering twice ? And how we can avoid this.
Thanks
Lakshminarayana

Thanks Shambu for quick reply
The variant is being used to load the ODS2 & ODS3 and Automatic further processing tick also removed.
Thanks

Display Source System Name in Process Chain Email

We would like to show the source system name (QA, Prod, etc) in the email subject when process chain messages are emailed so we can easily discern between production messages and messages from our test system. There doesn't appear to be a straightforward way to do this.
I have seen a Re: Howto Insert System ID into Process Chain Email Message which discussed this topic and offered 2 potential solutions neither of which work for us:
1. Open the production system and modify the messsage directly in the production system
2. Edit the First & Last Name of the sending user in the production system (does not work for us because we use central user administration)
Can anyone suggest another method of accomplishing this requirement?

we achieved it by changing text of [email protected] from 'BIWREMOTE' to BIP BIWREMOTE'....so in our mails even though mail id is same, but it display it for us as BIP.
Just go for user BIWREMOTE, and change format field with whatever name you wanna recieve mail. It should work properly.

System command in Process chain

Hello,
I have a system command in the process chain which points to a command file that is supposed to run. My problem is that when I transport the PC, the path on the system command remains same.
I want it to change the path from /md.... in dev to /mq... in QA and /ma... in PROD.
Is there anyway to automate this process? Right now i have to keep track of it and change the system command in each system. I have missed a couple and it creates some problems.
Thanks
Sam

Hello Sam,
One way to solve this is to work this with your UNIX administrator. You can do the following:
1) Create a symbolic link in your dev, qa, and prod which points to the correct directory.
For example, in dev, you can do the following:
link -s <whatever new name here, e.g. target> /md
In QA, you can do the following:
link -s <whatever new name here, e.g. target> /mq
and so on..
2) Instead of using the /md, /mq directories, you can use the symbolic directory instead in your system commands.
e.g. ls -l /target instead of ls -l /md
This might not help you a lot now but it will make things easier in the future because you will know that the symbolic link points to the correct directory of whatever box.
Hope this helps.

Problem in Process Chains

Hi,
While checking the regular status of Process Chains, for one of the process chain i am getting message "Status Change of Process CHAIN CS_MDT_F. Save status and trigger events if required".
This message is showing as same without displaying next screen. I mean to say is that this screen is still as executing even after 3-4 hours. Because of this i am having problem to trugger regular Process Chains in this.
Please advice.
Thanks!
Venkat

Hi,
check this table..RSPCPROCESSLOG
and see the log of your chain.
Or do one thing..
first check satus bar of BWD..there will be a session id like this BWD(1) or BWD(2)
Go to System in context menu->create session.
Now from the new session BWD(2) or BWD(3).
write a tranaction \i(your BWD session old one).
And no close all the session.
and login again. and go to rspc.

San!

Logical system Infopackage in process chain

Dear All,
I want to schedule a logical system delta infopackage in process chain I have input this package in chain but while activating it gives error "InfoPackage ZPAK_44MTIRL52E5IJXMQVL1BXFCWI is generated; NOT able to be used as loading variant" can any body help me how to resolve this issue.
Abhijit

Hi,
I think this package is created automatically while selecting update data into data targets from the context menu of the ods. This kind of packages cannot be used in chains. Goto rsa1->infosources. Select your 8<odsname> infosource and create a delta package manually. Put that package into the chain. That should work.
kind regards

Problem in process chain running for 3 days

Hi Experts,
Please help me
We have process chain like below
1.     delete index
2.     full loads going 3 cubes (16 infopacs)
3.     loading to ods and then update to cube
4.     delete overlapping requests (16 infopac)
5.     create index
6.     aggregate filling
7.     delete PSA
Now the issue is, from last Saturday onwards
Process chains was still in Yellow status till date, so now, 1,2,3,4, are still running
In process chains, out if 16 infopacs, 12 are green, remaining 4 are stopped
And in ODS activation of ods data variant shows yellow, but when checked the data is activated, but not pushed to cube. When checked log it show u201Csystem exception error_messageu201D, so process terminated.
When we checked for shortdump,
It says u201Clocal time on the application server is incorrectu201D
Experts please let me know how to solve this and correct the load.

Hi Experts,
Thank u for your help,
I have done the steps manually yestarday, checked todays, still it is in yellow status.
let me explain the scenario,
The data is going to 3 cubes,
the process chain is designed like this,
1. initially delete index
2. full load to cube using 16 infopac and loading from (2)ODS to cube.
3. delete overlapping requests
4. create index (3 cubes)
5. fill aggregates (only one cube)
6. Delete PSA request
so now , chain is having problem at
1. data is loaded to ods
2. data activation (showing yellow, but when checked data is activated)
3. further update to cube (2 cubes) in process chain this is not started atall ( so y'day I've done manually)
4. out 16 infocpack, only 12 infopacs are green and remaining 4 are not started.
so yestarday I've manually schedule remaining 4 infopacs.
and deleted previour requests in infocube as they are full load, but I did'nt done create index and fill aggregate steps.
now the problem is , out of 3 cube report available request is present for 2 cubes, but for 3 cube this report request is not available, but QM status is green
please let me know how to proceed.
one small silly question, do i need to fill aggregate step to get this report available request.....please suggest.
Thanks & Regards,
Raghu

Problem in Process chain due to Aggregate Roll-up

Hi,
I have a Infocube with Aggregates built on it. I have loaded data in the Infocube from 2000 to 2008, Rolled up & Compressed the aggregates for this.
I have also loaded the 2009 data in the same Infocube using Prior Month & Current Month Infopackage for which i am only Rolling up the aggregate and no Compression of aggregates is done. The Current & Prior month load runs through Process chain on a daily basis at 4 times per day. The Process chain is built in such a way that it deletes the overlapping requests when it is loading for the second/third/fourth time on a day.
The problem here is, when the overlapping requests are deleted, the Process Chain is also taking the Aggregates compressed requests (2000 to 2008 Data), de-compressing it, De-activating the aggregates, Activating the Aggregates again, Re-filling & compressing the aggregates again. This nearly takes 1 hour of time for the Process Chain to run which should take not more than 3 minutes.
So, what could be done to tackle this problem? Any help would be highly appreciated.
Thanks,
Murali

Hi all,
Thanks for your reply.
Arun: The problem with the solution you gave is "Untill i roll-up the aggregates for the Current & Prior Month Infopackage the Ready for Reporting symbol is not appearing for the particular request".

Murali

Problem in Process chain data loading

Hi Experts,
We have a Process chain in which the lists of jobs are as follows.
1) BI_TRIGGER_PROCESS
2) BI_PROCESS_LOADING
3) BI_PROCESS_ODSACTIVAT
4) BI_PROCESS_DROPINDEX
5) BI_PROCESS_LOADING
6) BI_PROCESS_INDEX
7) BI_PROCESS_ABAP
These jobs trigger the PC and load the data to ODS, activate and delete the index for cube and load data to cube and create the index and then delete the file from the FTP.
The problem is that the Initial job (BI_TRIGGER_PROCESS) is being repeating multiple times because of which the loading is taking place for the same file repeatedly to ODS. one day it was happend repeatedly for 130 times. This is being happening on a randomly basis. We are unable to figure it out the where the problem is. Can anybody help in this regard?
Thanks.

Hi Rama,
Following is my understanding of problem.
You have Following steps in process chain
1) BI_TRIGGER_PROCESS
2) BI_PROCESS_LOADING
3) BI_PROCESS_ODSACTIVAT
4) BI_PROCESS_DROPINDEX
5) BI_PROCESS_LOADING
6) BI_PROCESS_INDEX
7) BI_PROCESS_ABAP
Some times only first two steps repeat multiple times i.e
1) BI_TRIGGER_PROCESS
2) BI_PROCESS_LOADING
In such case you should see the log from process chain log view.
I believe you should take your process chain out of schedule and reschedule it.
Also check whether somebody has scheduled the inopackage.

Ajinkya

Problem in Process Chain Scheduling

Hi BW Experts,
We are running daily Process Chains in the Night Time.
Due to Memory Problem in BW Production Server we stopped all Process Chains on 20/09/2007.
Yesterday our memory problem solved. So I scheduled Process Chains Yesterday.
We have Timings like:
22:30 PM
23:00 PM
23:30 PM
23:50 PM
01:30 AM
06:00 AM
Yesterday we scheduled all Process Chains as per above timings.
But when iam going to schedule the 01:30 AM Timing Process Chain on 11-10-2007 , but it is taking 12-10-2007.
It is taking one extra day.
Generally it has to run today 11-10-2007. But why it is happening.
For 06:30 AM timing Process Chains also same problem.
So we noticed that after 12:00AM, it is taking one extra day.
Please give me the reply.
Thanks & Regards,
Anjali

Hi Venkat,
I scheduled it tomorrow at 01:30 AM , it is taking 13-10-2007.
If I schedule any process chian after 12:00 AM, it is taking one day extra.
This is happening since 5 months.
ECC 6 has been upgraded successfully in May month.

Urgent: Problem with Process chain.

Hello Experts,
In my process chain I have an ABAP Program which produces an error message:
RFC server sapftp cannot be started - 1 : Programm nicht über RFC gestartet. Kein Rückruf möglich.Message no. CMS057
Manually I executed this program with out any problems. But this program was not responding via Porcess chain.
After finishing the successfull load this program copies the files from Application Server in to our Central Project Directory to archive the data and deletes the file from Application server.
Any suggestion please...........
Thanks in advance.
Thanks & Regards

Hi Sailekha,
When the program was excuted through the Process Chain the Program was not able to access the Application Server, this could happen sometimes due to RFC issues.
Did you try repeating the Program from the Process Chain???
Is this issue happened for the first time???
Depending on these questions you can decide on whether it was an RFC issue.
If such is not the case check for the next run of Process Chain and also check for the variant assinged in Maintain Variant of this ABAP Program in this Process Chain.
Hope it helps!!!
Cheers,
Neelesh Jain.

Create a new system problem???

Hi
I'm working with SAP 2007 and the B1i that comes with it.
I have created a new system in the console under landscape. Then I go to it to edit the details. When I save what I have edited it does nothing and gives an error at the bottom left. It shows the yellow triangle and says error next to it.
What is wrong?? How do I resolve this???

Hi Louis,
What does that error says? I think I had a similar problem... and after reading some javascript in the page came up that I forgot to install MSXML 4.0. After that it worked.
HTH,
Ian
PS. The message was an automatation error or something like that, when making an instance of a XML.

Problem in process chain after upgrade

Hi,
We recently upgraded our sysetm to BI7.0 version.When I tried to run a process chain,it failed at the data load step.I tried to see the message but it is throwing an error like "object not persistent".so can somebody let me know what is the error here...
Thanks
Karthick

Hi Karthik
I assume variant(EXOR) has been used in another process chain which is inactive status, if we create Process Chain 'A' with variant (EXOR) and create another Process chain 'B 'with same variant(EXOR) and inactive status, PC 'A' doesn't execute though its in active status, it will work only when both process chains were in active status, please find in which process chain this variant has been used, remove/activate variant(EXOR) and execute your primary process chain, hope this will resolve your issue, please let me know if this doesn't resolve your issue
