Proces chain decision with formula method: which proces chain is performing

I want to know which chain is processing while i am in a decision. I made a decision in a proces chain. From that decision i call a formula. In that formula i call a method which i defined myself (client specific fomula/method). Now i want to know from which proces chain this method has been called. I tried the following ABAP statements in this method:
IMPORT instance TO l_instance
log_id TO l_logid
chain_id TO l_chainid
FROM DATABASE rspc_buffer(ab)
ID i_chain.
I found this statements in another SDN thread and from experience i know it works fine when you process normal ABAP in your proces chain.
Unfortunately this does not work in a method from a decision. Maybe i need to access another table?
Any suggestions?

Ok, if you worry about that, let's do it in series...
you create a local chain per IP/DTP (with link "if succesfull")...so you will have 10 local chains
then create a big chain with these 10 local chain (with link "always")
so, if a IP (eg of loacl chain 1) fails the DTP will not be triggered, the local chain 1 will go to status red, but as you put between the local chain option "always", the local chain 2 will start...and so on
For inforamtion, I would put the attribute change run for the specific attribute in the local chain...this way you will only activate data of succesfull IP/DTP's...
this way you should achieve what you aim for...

Imposer un format à une commande de type chaine

Bonjour,
je souhaite réaliser une commande de type chaine qui ait un format bien particulier. La chaine doit être un nombre compris entre 101 et 120 (c'est bien une chaine que je souhaite et pas un nombre).
Est il possible de fixer un format spécifique à une commande de type chaine (ici 3 caractères représentant des chiffres de 101 à 120)?
Je souhaite que la vérification se fasse tant que l'on est pas en run. (il n'est par exemple pas possible de mettre un "t" dans un champ nombre, ainsi je souhaite que dans mon champ chaine il ne soit pas possible d'écrire "156" ou "rgf" par exemple)
Merci

Rebonjour ceci est possible mais uniquement en mode RUN pour l'instant. Le plus simple est de mettre trois controles différents pour indiquer lequel n'est pas rempli de manière correcte et de les concatenner (rabouter).
It would be nice if you take the time to rate this answer

OS command in Process Chain

Hi all,
I'm using the OS Command in a process chain and I have the "Evaluate Output of Command" checked along with It will be repeated" selected. It's looking for a file on the app server and repeating every 3600 seconds for 24 hours. The issue is if the 24 hours goes by and no file is found the process chain continues on to the next Process. I expecting the chain to stop with errors. Is this the correct functionality? If so, any ideas how I can stop the process if the repeat time is exceeded and file not found?
Regards,
Dae Jin

Hi Dae,
   Try this way. Separate present Process chain into two chains.
   Create an ABAP program to trigger OS Command and an event(EVENT1) on success of finding the file or another event(EVENT2) if file not fround and to repeate the process to find the file.
   Create first chain, and make it event based(EVENT2) and create 2nd chain aldo event based(EVENT1).
activate and schedule both chains event based. trigger the first chain. It will check the file and if it is success ABAP program raise and event(EVENT1) and it will trigger the 2nd chain. or it will raise the event(EVENT2), it will reapete the 1st chain for finding the file.
So here 2nd chain triggers on EVENT, so time limit. And it only excutes if first chain picks the file successfully,
Hope it Helps

Failure of OS command in Process Chain

Hi All,
I have OS command in a process chain. Sometimes this process gets failed and sometimes it is completed successfully.
When it fails following message appears in Process Chain Maintenance Log View:
==== Output of System Commands: Repeat # 0 ====
mv: cannot stat `/usr/sap/transBD1/upload/BP1/StockPosition/StockPosition_BNL.txt': No such file or directory
External program terminated with exit code 1
Kindly reply if anyone has any idea about it.
Many Thanks in advance.!
Regards,
Swati Ramteke

Hi Vikram and Srinivas
In the process chain, file is first loaded to cube from the specified path. There is no problem in loading, it is completing successfully.
Next, this file is archived from specified path to archived folder by OS Command.
OS Command is:
#!/bin/ksh
FILEDATE=`date +%m%d%y`
mv /usr/sap/transBD1/upload/BP1/StockPosition/StockPosition_BNL.txt /usr/sap/transBD1/upload/BP1/StockPosition/processed/StockPosition_BNL.$FILEDATE
The file is archived successfully in processed folder but OS command process in process chain is getting failed with mentioned error in previous thread.

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.

Proc Chain - Delete Overlapping Requests fails with aggregates

BW Forum,
Our weekly/daily load process chain loads several full (not delta) transaction infopackages. Those infopackages are intended to replace prior full loads and are then rolled up into aggregates on the cubes.
The problem is the process chains fail to delete the overlapping requests. I manually have to remove the aggregates, remove the infopackages, then rebuild the aggregates. It seems that the delete overlapping request fails due to the aggregates or a missing index on the aggregates, but I'm not certain. The lengthy job log contains many references to the aggregate prior to it failing with the below messages.
11/06/2004 13:47:53 SQL-END: 11/06/2004 13:47:53 00:00:00                                                 DBMAN        99

The raise_exception is a short dump with Exception condition "OBJECT_NOT_FOUND" raised.
The termination occurred in the ABAP program "SAPLRRBA " in
"RRBA_NUMBER_GET_BW".
The main program was "RSPROCESS ".
I've looked for OSS notes. I've tried to find a process to delete aggregates prior to loading/deletion of overlapping requests. In the end, I've had to manually intervene each time we execute the process chain, so I've got to resolve the issue.
Do others have this problem? Are the aggregates supposed to be deleted prior to loading full packages which will require deletion of overlapping requests? I presume not since there doesn't seem to be a process for this. Am I missing something?
We're using BW 3.3 SP 15 on Oracle 9.2.0.3.
Thanks for your time and consideration!
Doug Maltby

Are the aggregates compressed after the rollup? If you compress the aggregate completely, the Request you are trying to delete is no longer identifiable once it is in the compressed E fact table (since it throws away the Request ID).
So you need to change the aggregate so that it the most recent Requests remain in the uncompressed the F fact table. Then the Request deletion should work.
I thought what was supposed to happen if the aggregate was fully compressed and then you wanted to delete a Request, the system would recognize that the Request was unavailable due to compression and that it would automatically refill the aggregate - but I'm not sure where I read that. Maybe it was a Note, maybe that doesn't happen in a Process Chain, just not sure.
The better solution when you regularly backout a Request is just not the fully compress the aggregate, letting it follow the compression of the base cube, which I'm assuming you have set to compress Requests older than XX days.

Repeat the execution of one pl. sequence for different filters (proc. chain

Hello experts
we have a planing sequence which is designed to handle one value of the characteristic "plan" in the filter.
In one special case we have to execute the sequence for all values of the characterisitc "plan".
In this special case we start the sequence via process chain.
What is the best way to start the sequence multiple times with different filter values?
(To adjust the sequence to handle multple plans is not an option at the moment)
The gerneral idea is to embed a ABAP program in the process chain. This program should determine for which plans the sequence has to be started. In a loop over the plans the program starts
a) An other process chain which contains the sequence
b) the sequence directly via program "RSPLS_PLSEQ_EXECUTE"
each of both alternatives has several problems
a) the program can just start the next execution of the chain if the first execution in finished. How can I handle this in the program.
When starting the chain, it must be provided with the actual value of the plan. How to handle this? Maybe I will use one variant with a exit varialbe wich selects the value out of an ABAP dictionary table. The program has to write the value in the table before calling the porcess chain. Any better ideas?
b) The ABAP program should not be finished before all planing sequences are finished. How can I find out if the planing sequences are finished. How many planing sequences can be started paraellel with the same user (ALREMOTE)? The problem with providing the actual filter value is the same than in A).
Which alternetive would you choose?
Do you see any more problems?
Any help or opinion is appreciated?
Thanks in advance
Johannes

Hi Johannes,
how about "scheduling planning sequences in process chains"
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/EN/45/946677f8fb0cf2e10000000a114a6b/frameset.htm
Here you can specify "process in packages" and "Configured packaging" based on "plan" in your filter.
You need to specify a variant which contains all "plan" values.
Could you please check this?

Proces chain problem in production

Hello friends,
i have faced the process chain problem in the production as "Status change of process ZD_BDIT_ACTIVATE" save status and trigge event if appropiate ? . and displayed message is " ABAP/4 Processor :DBIF_DSQL2_DEFAULT_CR_ERROR" . i want help to solved this problem and what exactly the problem is?
actually this problem came to activation and its indicated red but when i went to data target and then i show that activation is not started or not trigger. please give me what is exactly problem and what is the proper solution.
please reply me as soon as possible.

Quick Checks:
1. Check the status of User in R/3 which you have used in the RFC destination i.e SM59 and IDOC Adapter ? if it is locked , then unlock it. If password is the problem, then try to change the password.
Don't reset it ...
2. Also check out the status in XI, SM59... what is the user used ? is it correct etc... by testing the connection
3. I think the IDOC Metadata is having problem.. Go to IDX2 and reimport the metadata in XI.
Also note that, it is prefer to use Service User in SM59, and IDOC adapter instead of dialog use in the Production environment. so that no problem of locking etc
Hope this helps`

Passing Params & Formulas to SQL Command & Strd Proc in CR 11.5 & 2008 - 1

I am working with CR 11.5 and heavily use SQL Command rewrites and Stored Procedures (SPs)with the usual limitation that only single parameter values can be passed into SPs, and Parameters must be created within the SQL Command editor (and cannot be referenced to those generated in Field Explorer, or can they?)
I understand from BE/CR's sales material for CR 2008 that multiple values can now be used under these conditions. As I recall, Multivalue Parameters are actually arrays that can be made into comma delimited strings.
Local StringVar StringExpression;
Local NumberVar ArrayCount := Count({?Code});
Local NumberVar i;
if ArrayCount = 0
   then StringExpression := ""
else
   StringExpression := {?Code}[1];
   i := 2;
While i <= ArrayCount Do
    StringExpression := StringExpression + ", " + {?Code}<i>;
    i := i + 1;
See part 2 for continuation....

Here is my use case (since most of my reports are against very large databases, running "tuned" SQL Commands is essential).

Is this possible? Has it been thought of yet. Has passing in well-constructed @formulas been considered?

Pricing Procedure
In SD, Pricing Procedure is determined based on Sales Area (Sales Organization + Distribution Centre + Division) + Customer Pricing Procedure + Document Pricing Procedure. Sales Area is determined in Sales Order Header Level. Customer Pricing Procedure is determined from Customer Master. Document Pricing Procedure is determined from Sales Document Type / Billing Type (if configured). Once the pricing procedure is determined, Condition records are fetched. If appropriate condition records are found, the price is determined. If Mandatory pricing condition is missing, system will through an error message.
In SD, the steps to configure Pricing procedure are as under:
Step 1:
Condition table: If existing condition table meets the requirement, we need not create a new condition table. Considering the requirement for new condition table, the configuration will be done in spro as follows: IMG --> Sales & Distribution --> Basic Function --> Pricing Control --> Condition Table (select the required fields combination, which will store condition record).
Step 2:
Access Sequence: If existing access sequence meets the requirement, we need not create a new access sequence. Considering the requirement for new sequence, the configuration will be done in spro as follows: IMG --> Sales & Distribution --> Basic Function --> Pricing Control --> Access Sequence (Access sequence is made up of Accesses (Tables) & the order of priority in which it is to be accessed. Here we assign the condition table to access sequence.
Step 3:
Condition Type: If existing condition type meets the requirement, we need not create a new condition type. Considering the requirement for new condition type, the configuration will be done in spro as follows: IMG --> Sales & Distribution --> Basic Function --> Pricing Control --> Condition Type. It is always recommended to copy an existing similar condition type & make the neccessary changes. Here we assign Access sequence to Condition type.
Step 4:
a. Pricing Procedure: It is recommended to copy a similar pricing procedure & make the neccesary changes in new pricing procedure. Pricing Procedure is a set of condition type & arranged in the sequence in which it has to perform the calculation. Considering the requirement for new Pricing Procedure, the configuration will be done in spro as follows: IMG --> Sales & Distribution --> Basic Function --> Pricing Control --> Pricing Procedure --> Maintain Pricing Procedure.
b. Pricing Procedure: After maintaining the pricing procedure the next step will be determination of pricing procedure. Configuration for determining pricing procedure in SPRO is as follows: IMG --> Sales & Distribution --> Basic Function --> Pricing Control --> Pricing Procedure --> Determine Pricing Procedure.
5. Condition record: Condition record is a master data, which is required to be maintained by Core team / person responsible from the client. During new implementation, the condition records can be uploaded using tools like SCAT, LSMW, etc.
Normal Sales Order Cycle:-
Step 1: Sales Document Type
IMG > Sales and Distribution > Sales > Sales Documents >
Sales Document Header:
1. Sales Document Type:The sales document types represent the different business transactions, such as Inquiry, Quotation, Sales Order, etc. To create new sales order type, always copy as with reference to similar sales order. If possible use standard sales order.
2. Define Number Ranges For Sales Documents: Maintain number range with discussion with core team.
3. Assign Sales Area To Sales Document Types:
A. Combine sales organizations / Combine distribution channels / Combine divisions: Ensure to maintain these, else Sales Order creation will give error.
B. Assign sales order types permitted for sales areas: Assign only required Sales Order Types to required Sales Area. This will minimize selection of Sales Order Type as per sales area.
Sales Document Item:
1. Define Item Categories: If possible use Standard Item Category. Incase if required to create new, copy as from standard & maintain New.
2. Assign Item Categories: If possible, use standard. Formula for deriving item category: Sales Document Type + Item Category Group + Usage + Higher Level Item Category = Item Category
Schedule Line:
1. Define Schedule Line Categories: If possible use Standard Schedule Lines. Incase if required to create new, copy as from standard & maintain New.
2. Assign Schedule Line Categories: If possible, use standard. Formula for deriving Schedule Line: Item Category + MRP Type / No MRP Type.
Step 2:
IMG > Logistic Execution > Shipping > Deliveries >
1. Define Delivery Types: If possible use Standard Delivery Type. Incase if required to create new, copy as from standard & maintain New.
2. Define Item Categories for Deliveries: If possible use Standard Item Categories for Delivery Type. Incase if required to create new, copy as from standard & maintain New.
3. Define Number Ranges for Deliveries: Ensure to maintain number range.
Step 3:
IMG > Sales and Distribution > Billing >
1. Define Billing Types: If possible use Standard Billing Type. Incase if required to create new, copy as from standard & maintain New.
2. Define Number Range For Billing Documents: Ensure to maintain number range.
3. Maintain Copying Control For Billing Documents: Maintain relevant copy controls such as Sales Order to Billing, Deliver to Billing, etc.
The configuration differs from scenario to scenario & requirement of the client.

How to create a job for proces chain

Hi All,
I have a process chain that gets a trigger (.txt Trigger file) in AL11 inbound foulder.....
we will check for the same trigger in AL11...if it is available..we will trigger the chain using sm64 ...
now, i want to create a job for the same and schedule it automatically everyday.....
Any help will be appreciated....

Dear Sam2027,
you can set a "recurrence" within the schedule options where you can decide not only the day but also the time.
The recurrence can also be use in conjunction with your trigger .txt (which I believe it's a file event): in this case both of them need to be satisfied in order for your schedule to run.
I hope this will help.

Samanta

Stopping proces chain throgh the ABBAP Program

Hi All
One of my process chain is running since 2 days and I want to stop that process chain.
Can we know how to stop the process throgh the ABABP Program.
Thanks
Allu

Hi Allu
You can change the status and run the process again by following the below mentioned steps. This will also help set the status.
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.
Refer to the below mentioned link for more details.

DM package dynamic script overlays all other packages with same proc. chain

We have followed the How-To guide on passing dynamic parameters to script logic. (https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/d01ce779-f1b2-2b10-07ba-da3734013245)
The guide states that we should not have to create a separate process chain for each script file we want to execute through data manager. We should be able to pass the logic file name in via the dynamic script in the DM package itself.
So we created several DM packages that all reference the same process chain, and in each package script we would like to indicate a different LGF file.
However, we are finding that when we change the LGF file (in the TASK of the dynamic script), it is changing the LGF value for all other DM packages that reference the same process chain.
Has anyone else run into this issue?

Hi Ashley,
There was a bug in Package table design in 7.0 when 2 Packages referred to same Application. It's fixed in 7.5.
