One Process Chain but different schedule.

Hi Experts:
I have this issue. I need to run one process chain in different schedule. For example:
From days 28 to 5 of each month I need to run every hour.
From days 6 to 27 of each month I need to run every four hour.
I have BW 3.5
Do you have any idea How I could do that?.
Thanks in advanced.

Process chain 3 times schedule a day

Hi Experts,
In my requirement is to schedule the process chain 3 times a day but different times like 5am, 12pm, and 4pm.
Could you please anyone reply to step by step procedure.
Advance thanks
Regards,
Sathis

Hi,
1)You can make the process chain to be trigered by an event.
You create user events in SM62. In SM62, next to "User even names", click on Maintain and press Enter. Click on the Create icon to create a new event (let's call it ZEVENT).
Next, in your process chain, change the Start variant to be scheduled "After event", and put in ZEVENT for the event name. Also, click on the "Periodic job" at the bottom. This will automatically reschedule the jobs for the process chain after it executes.
Next, create an ABAP program (let's call it Z_EVENT_RAISE) to call the function module BP_EVENT_RAISE. You're code can look like this:
codeREPORT Z_EVENT_RAISE.
PARAMETERS: P_EVENT LIKE TBTCO-EVENTID.
CALL FUNCTION 'BP_EVENT_RAISE'
EXPORTING
EVENTID = P_EVENT.
IF sy-subrc 0.
MESSAGE ID SY-MSGID TYPE SY-MSGTY NUMBER SY-MSGNO
WITH SY-MSGV1 SY-MSGV2 SY-MSGV3 SY-MSGV4.
ENDIF.[/code]
This ABAP program will prompt for an event name, so you will need to create a variant (let's call it ZEVENT) which will save the value of the event name (also ZEVENT). You will need the variant name to be able to trigger the event in a batch job.
Now all you need is the batch job. Use tcode SM36 to create a batch job where you call the ABAP program (Z_EVENT_RAISE) using the variant (ZEVENT).
Note, SM64 only triggers an event manually.
and you can copy this job to schedule it three times a day.
2)In the Start process of your process chain, select Direct Scheduling and then click the Change Selections icon. This will bring you to the Start Time window where you can put in the Date/Time you want to start your process chain. At the bottom of this window, click on the Periodic job box and you will notice another icon way at the bottom called Period Values. Click this to determine what frequency the job should be rescheduled (ie. daily, weekly, etc.).
3)you can do this by right-clicking on the start process, selection "Maintain Variant", choose "Direct Scheduling". Next select "Change Selections", pick your date and time, set your period values and you're done.
Hope this helps.

Infopackage in process chain is not scheduling

Hi All
One of infopackage in process chain is not scheduling and showing error message like "Attributes are not yet maintained
Entire chain now has status 'R'
what do we mean about this
can anyone will let me know in detail and how to correct this?
Regards
balaji

Hi balaji,
how big is your process chain ? I got a similar problem when I build a metachain with a lot of processes in the chain (more than 60). In this case, the error message is deceiving. If your process chain has similar numbers of processes, check OSS 942804 (Jobcount handling).
Kind regards,
Jürgen

Setting of one process chain triggering by other?

Hi Friends,
we are having two process chains, PC1 and PC2.
Daily PC1 triggers PC2.
But i want to know where this setting is done in the system (PC1 triggers PC2)
Can any one please tell me?
Thanks..in advance
Tony

There are several ways to trigger the process chain from the another process chain.
Start variant,
Maintain the same start variant for all the process chain which u want to be trigerred by dependence, ie on executing the one prcess chain from group, all will be triggered.
Local process chain:
Insert the (secound) child process chain in a (first )parent chain. by this when u execute the parent process chain the child will be triggered.
Event:
For all process chain there will be event name. U can write code with this event as a reference so that completion of one process chain will triger the secound.

Stopping one process chain when another is running

Hi All,
We have two process chains which are inter dependent.
One process chain has to be scheduled hourly & another daily.
I would like to know the way to stop the hourly running process chain when the daily process chain is running.
& the daily process chain run time will be varying like 1-2 hours.
Please help me to solve this problem
REDDY

Hi,
You can do it.
1.Create one Table with Flag (Values 0 or 1), and give Table maintaince also in SM30.
2.Craeate one program to check the Table Flag = 0 or 1. If it is 0 then trigger Event then that event will trigger Hourly Process Chain. You need to schedule this Program Hourly. (Your Hourly PC wil work based on Events)
3. Craete Daily Process Chain, once it will start it will update teh Flag =1 then once it will reach the last node it will turn the flag = 0.
Start
 |
Update Flag = 1 in table (Program)
 |
Load data
 |
Update Flag = 0 in table (Program)
4. So every hour your program will run (in Step 2), it will check table Entry and trigger Event.
The code is like below
Report1.
IF Flag = 0 Then
*Raise Event
DATA: EVENTID LIKE TBTCJOB-EVENTID.
DATA: EVENTPARM LIKE TBTCJOB-EVENTPARM.
 EVENTID = 'ZEVENT1'.
 EVENTPARM = 'ZEVENTPARAM'.
CALL FUNCTION 'RSSM_EVENT_RAISE'
 EXPORTING
 I_EVENTID = EVENTID
 I_EVENTPARM = EVENTPARM
 EXCEPTIONS
 BAD_EVENTID = 1
 EVENTID_DOES_NOT_EXIST = 2
 EVENTID_MISSING = 3
 RAISE_FAILED = 4
 OTHERS = 5
 IF SY-SUBRC <> 0.
 MESSAGE ID SY-MSGID TYPE SY-MSGTY NUMBER SY-MSGNO
 WITH SY-MSGV1 SY-MSGV2 SY-MSGV3 SY-MSGV4.
 ENDIF.
ELSE
Exit
endif
Note: It will Work try it. Don't forget to give SE30 access to table, because some time if you want to maintain Flag value manually, you required it.
Thanks
Reddy

Infopackage red in process chain but green in monitor

With our system (BW30B, patch14, W2K, Oracle 9.2.0.5) we are having some issues with some infopackages which are included in a process chain.
In the process chain, the status is red with the following error messages: "Processing in Warehouse timed out; processing steps mising", "<DS:DE.RSCALLER>Caller is still missing." but the data was loaded properly --> if I open the monitor status for that infopackage, the status is green (and I confirm that data was properly loaded).
But, this is a problem as it screws up the process chain. I did not find a fix after seaching OSS notes, but the note #766712 seems close to our issue - I tried to apply it but it did not work. In the note, it's recommended to turn on a higher enqueue time --> could you please help me on how to do it? I checked everywhere and did not find the menu option to do it.
Any help appreciated
Thanks
Ioan

Thanks Roberto
I do not think it is related to this setting (it's now set to 30000, which is 3H) - the data properly ended loading before.
When I change the status manually in the monitor, it is reflected in the process chain - but this happens every night, so I have to turn them green manualy every morning ...
The note is 766721 (and not 766712)
Thanks in advance for any help

Process Chain execute method Schedule or Execute Synchronously

Hi Expert:
      When i execute process chain, there are two methods to start the PC: Schedule and Execute Synchronously .
      Now i wander what the difference between the two methods for executing the PC.
      Thanks inadvance.

Hi prashanthk
    Thank your response,
    As a matter of fact, i execute the same process chain which contains a Abap Program with schedule and execute synchronously .
   But with schedule, the PC terminate with a error and execute synchronnusly the PC it run correctly .
whether execute the PC in background or dialog mode can make a different result for the same PC .
Now i confused about this.
Can you explain this in more detail for me?
Thanks .

Process Chain Server for Scheduling

Hello,
I would like to schedule my process chains such that I avoid any deadlocks from not enough background processes being available and other kinds of resource failures. I have been trying to schedule certain chains on different servers logically, but if an app server changes unexpectedly then the loads fail. It seems that hard coding chains to servers is not an ideal solution. What is the best option for server scheduling when you schedule a process chain? Is there an option that gives some sort of load balancing? Should you just leave the server field blank? What about the server group option?
Thanks,
TMS

leave the server field blank.
the load balancing feature will take care of distribution of jobs automatically

How to run multiple packages in one process chain

Hi,
we want to run a script logic with badi, followed by a standard move function. The BADI will perform a check and generate an error. If no error occurs, the move can continue ...
We created our own process chain, which is in fact the combination of a script logic and a move. The data package has underlaying syntax.
Problem is that the data package does not trigger the process chain ... Nothing happens when running it. When checking the status, nothing gets in here ... We assigned the correct process chain and get message a postivie message when running the package... Is this not possible?

Hi Sheldon,
we never have issues when we combine standard objects, like a cliear with a load inforprovider, or the master data integration you mentioned in your document. However, from the moment we combine a script logic with a standard package (like a move) it does not work .The data package contains the task needed for the script and for the move. the process chain is called up but always comes in error in the first step (BPC modify dynamically ) ... there is also no log when checking the view status ...
I can sent you some screenshots if you like ...

How to trigger a process chain using external scheduler ?

Hi all,
we have a requirement wherein we need to trigger the process chains from an external scheduler used by client rather than directly scheduling it through BW scheduler.So any pointers on this will be heplful.

Hi we have had a same scenario like this. You can schedule it using schedulers like autosys. Speak to your basis team and see if you have the autosys software installed or some thing similar to that. You have to write a program which calls the function RSPC_CHAIN_START. When you excute this program, it willl ask for a variant to execute. this variant will be the start variant of the process chain you want to trigger.
the flow will be like the basis team will schedule the autosys or the scheduler to run the program and this program will in turn trigger the process chain.

Satish.

Process chain colour: active/scheduled?

Hi there,
Can i see from just looking at a process chain in RSPC whether or not it is scheduled and active?
Hope you can help
Cheers
Neil

Hi Neil Aldum,
1) Go to particular chain which u r going to monitor in RSPC.
2) In planned view u will be knowing whether the chain is in scheduled or Descheduled & also first of all check logs.
3) If the chain is green,it means that chain is Scheduled.
4) If the chain is in Grey colour,it indicates that the chain is descheduled
or If u want to run the chain ,in status bar u will find an option to "Schedule & Activate"
Thanks & Regards,

Process chain--how to schedule the variant even if there is no repeat opt.

Hello Gurus,
Can anybody help me out like the issue was...
when monitoring the process-chain,the variant-load infopackage was successfully completed the status was green,and next to that there was a update from the PSA variant and then to that there is a ATTR.chane run variant,process chain strucked at these two variants.when i look into that there was no repeat option on both the variants. so how could i schedule that from at that point.
Thanks in advance for the solution!
Regards,
Dilip

Hi Dilip,
You have to do the remaining process steps manually.
If the the failed process step is loading proces step, then make the QM status of that upload to Red and then refresh the process chain.. Some times you will get the repeate option with that.
Or else end the process as described below:
When ever the load fails in a process chain we need to check whether its a load error or a non-load error. For load we need to rectifie the error manually nd need to run the program which is given SAP SE38.
RSPC_PROCESS_FINISH for this we need to pass some parameters.
like process chain name. variant, instance and the status. Here status we will give as 'G'. so that chain can identify that the previous process has been successful nd run the remaining processes automatically.
Refer the below Blog

How to check the status of other process chain from one process chain

Hi All
I have a requirement where I need to send an Email after successful completion of 3 process chains.
all these 3 chains starts at same time.Out of these 3, one chain daily takes more time to complete.
Is there any way so that in 3rd chain( the one that takes more time to complete) i can check whether the other two chains have completed successfully or not.So that when this chain gets complete I can send the success notification for all the three chains.
If possible please tell me the step by step procedure for doing this.
I have no question on sending Email through process chain.
Regards
Ashish

Hi
The OS Command is used for the following:
You use this process type to stop a system command in the operating system of an application server.
In the process maintenance for the operating system command, define:
The logical name of the operating system command you want to stop.
A command defined in transaction SM49 is used here. You can also change the command using the Change pushbutton.
The operating system of the application server on which you want to execute the command.
Additional parameters, as long as the defined command permits them.
The application server on which the command is to be executed. If you always want to use the current host, set the corresponding indicator. If you want to use a host other than the current one, enter this in the Target Host field; the system automatically deselects the Current Host.
After the run, you can find the standard text output by the command on the Process tab page of the log for this process.
For processes you may have implemented yourself, you can access this log using the CL_RSPC_SYSTEMCOMMAND=>IF_RSPC_GET_LOG~GET_LOG method.
I have never used the OS command myself, so I am not sure, whether it can be used in your case.
