Parallel process in process chains

Hi All,
I have created a process chain with two parallel jobs (for forecast run) in APO DP. whenever i'm checking it, it is showing me that "Too many parallel processes for chosen server"
In the diagnosis, the message is "On the server you have chosen, there are only 1 batch processes available. The process chain has been designed in such as way that 2 processes must be processed parallel".
Do I need to maintain any settings.Please let me know.
Thank you.
Regards,
Raj

Hi Raj,
What it is complaining about is that the number of batch processes(background processes) available on the system are only 1 and you have given it 2 background processes..now if the system only has 1 bckgnd process,, how will it run 2 processes ) ??
You can check the number of background processes in SM50 and then modify the number of background processes in RZ10(start up profile)......Ask your basis guy to increase/check that???
Thanks
Abhi

Collection Processes in Process Chains

Hi ALL,
I want to know what is the real importance of using AND, OR and EXOR Processes in Process Chains.I have gone through all the material available on SDN.But i could not clearly understand these Processes as of what's the real purpose it serves when used in Process chains.
We have Process Chains in our system which contains Planned data as well as Actual data which are parallelly loaded using our Process Chains.Where in we have Different infopackages.With every infopackage,If it is successful ,it is connected to AND Process And in case,if it is a failure,It is connected to an OR Process.
So ,if it is Successful ,then it goes to And Process or else it connected to OR Process which triggers an ERROR event for that particular process chain.
So,Please Do Provide an good answer as I have to implement certain changes to my process chains.I have added 3 more infopackages to my process chain and now ,I want to know whether I should connect them to OR process,if a Failure occurs and what will be the consequences ,if I connect/Do not these new packages to OR process when a failure occurs.
I hope you understand this Problem and reply as it is very urgent.
Points will be assigned.

Hi
Definition
A collection process collects several chain strings to form one string in the process chain maintenance.
Use
Process chain management handles collection processes in a particular way. The system makes the variant names consistent and guarantees that all processes of the same name that have been scheduled more than once, trigger the same event. This enables the several chain strings to be collected to form one and also makes multiple-scheduling of the actual application processes unnecessary.
The following collection processes are available in the process chain maintenance:
And Process (Last)
This process does not start before all events of the predecessor processes, that is including the last event, that it has waited for, have been successfully triggered.
Use this collection process when you want to combine processes and when further processing is dependent on all these predecessors.
Or Process (Every)
The application process starts every time a predecessor process event has been successfully triggered.
Use this collection process when you want to avoid multi-scheduling the actual application process.
XOR Process (First)
The application process starts when the first event in one of the predecessor processes has been successfully triggered .
Use this collection process when you want to process processes in parallel and schedule further independent processes after these ones.
Owing to the time components, the collection processes do not display logical gates in the normal sense, because the system cannot distinguish between whether a 0 entry (no event received), means that the event was never received or whether it has not been received yet. The reason for this is that the checks do not run continuously but only take place when the event is received.

How to identify which process in process chain executes in Batch and Dialog

Hi, We want to identify which processes in process chain is running in Batch mode or Dialog mode. Is there any where we can identify this from any table or transaction. (Eg Loading, DTP loading, Attribute change run, deletion of index, deletion of overlapping request, AND process, ABAP program , Master Data loading, Full Load, Delta load, Hierarchy Save, Start Process).

Hi Vishwanth,
In Process Chain proces runs in background only.

How to connect processes in Process chain

Hi,
How to connect processes in Process chain.
how to make it as black,green,red.
Thanks,
Madhu.

Hi,
u can connect first process in a Process chain to second, just click on first process and drag and drop onto second one.
3 options will appear:
1. succesfull---green line
2. unsuccesfull----red line
3. always-----black.
select one option then linked will be formed.
green line means the second process will be executed if and only if first process ran successfully.
red line means the second process will be executed if and only if first process ran unsuccessfully.
black line means line means the second process will be executed even if first process ran successfully or unsuccesfully.
bye.

Back ground processes, dialogue processes and Process chains

Hai all,
I am going through making process chains and I am struck with one thing:
"How many background process chains and dialogue processes you have during run time"
This is the problem. I understood everything else except this.The concept says that I have to know what is the capacity of the system, how many background and dialogue processes it could accomodate, how many are left and how many you can use for your process chain.How do we find out this? and could somebody please explain me or refer to documentation about the Back ground processes, dialogue processes and Process chains.
Thanks.

Hi Visu,
You can see the number of dialog and background processes by using transaction SM51 and then double clicking on the server (we only have one but it may be different for each). Our BASIS folks take care of the number of processes as well. And, for us we have a schedule that changes the number at a certain time of day because you tend to need more dialog during the day but more batch at night.
The transaction to look at and change the settings is RZ03. Then use the menu path Edit->Operation Modes you can select either Configuration or Timetable here. Both give information in different ways. I tend to double click around to see what it might tell me.
I hope this helps a bit,
Diane

Add at least one process to the chain before saving !!!

Hello SDN s,
How ya all ?
I am building a Process Chain which loads around 35 Transactional Data InfoPackages. For this the requirement is to Delete Indexes collectively before the 35 data loads and after the data loads the Indexes has to be Generated.
Here i D&D the Data Target Administration -> Delete Index with that Create Index (Generated from DROPINDEX) came automatically. I removed the link between these 2, and tried to keep the 1 st InfoPackage with Execute InfoPackage, it gave me the message
Display More Chains:
Process Z_DELODS (type DROPCUBE) has already been used in other chains
Do you want these chains to be displayed in the maintenance screen too
Yes / No / Cancel
Then i tried to save or activate the PC it throws this message "Add at least one process to the chain before saving"
What could be the problem here ?
Best Regards....

Set delay for process in process chain (BI7)

Hi gurus.
Can anybody advice me on how to set delay for a process in process chain in BI7
Thanks in advance

Hi,
If you right-click on a process in the Process Chain, there should be an option called Debug Loop. Here you can enter the number of seconds to delay a process.
The only difference between 3.5 and 7.0 is that Option Waiting Time in context menu of "any" process is replaced by Debug Loop.Here you can enter the # of seconds for which you want your process to be delayed.
See below:
Re: Start a Process Chain after every 15 mins

Abap process setup in chains

Hello,
I see that to use an abap process in a chain, I can either:
1. call a program with / without a variant
2. call a event triggered abap program.
What I need to clarify is setup method 2.
Is it true that whatever event I set here will trigger whatever program I entered here?
Is this the equivalent of sm37 job that is setup to run only if event is triggered?
Can a program be set to trigger by an event from se38?
I am just unclear about setting up a abap as a process in a chain.
Hope you could advise.
Pascal Gabin

Pascal
Check this link if you have not seen already. You could include your program in a Variant and when ever you ttigger that event Process chain will start.

How many parallel BPEL child processes can be invoked on single BPEL server

Hi,
Can anyone pls let me know

Hi James
Here is my problem. I need to do this for load balancing. I have two instances of SOA Suite running on single machine, i.e. two different BPEL servers. Now i need 2 BPEL instances on each server, i.e. two SOA Suite and four BPEL instances (Two BPEL servers on each SOA Suite)
I tried to create a new OC4J instance on my app server and named it as OC4J_new. By default OC4J instance would have these application installed:
ascontrol
ccore
coreman
datatags
default
esb-dt
esb-rt
gateway
hw_services
javasso
orabpel
orainfra
policymanager
ruleauthor
rulehelp
But when i create new OC4J instance, i can see only these applications:
ascontrol
datatags
default
javasso
How do i get rest of the applications in my new OC4J Instance??
I tried deploying .EAR files but it failed all the time. What are possible fixes?
Many thanks in advance

How can we stop the Collapse process in process chain.

hi
guys
How can we stop the Collapse process in process chain.if any one know's plz tell me
your regards
suresh

Hi,
All the above post duly suggest a the methods we usually follow to cancel a collapse request i.e sm37 ---> Cancel without core,but these solution only applies if we are running collapse as a seperate variant in the process chain, in case its running as a part of change run the all above process will lead to the locking of the target.
In that case if you could "lock the target" even before the collapse ran will result in the "Stopping of the collapse on the target automatically" .
As far as figuring out the exat job of the collapse, you can directly get the job details in the "display message' , context menu option of the "Collapse variant" in the chain, clicking on the batch monitor and then clicking on the job to get its detail,then going to the specific "Application server " via SM51 and cacelling the job.
Do check wearther the target is unlocked or not in sm12 if not then choose the object in se03 and select "Unlock".
Hope it will serve yoour purpose
Thax & Regards

Business Process Maps/ Process Flows for Retail Operations

Dear All,
I am looking for Business Process Maps/ Process Flows for Retail Operations like forecasting, inter store transfers, ASN, Procurement, Allocation etc.
Kindly provide me with a link, docs, PPts etc.
Appreciation would be in the form of points.
Regards,
Jack Silverz

Hi Jack
Seeing as you only got one reply - I'm jumping in with my 2-peneth.
Seldom have I found process content which sufficiently explains both manual and automated processes in a format which is sufficiently simple to engage discussion (between project teams and business representatives). Is there a way to strike the required balance - simplicity for the sake of engagement; yet rich enough to record SAP dependencies, system requirements and so forth.
An answer in my opinion is [here|https://ecohub.sdn.sap.com/irj/ecohub/solutions/control2007]. (Honest account - I work for Nimbus. But you don't have to take my word for it. Check out our case studies if you like. This approach is being adopted by several strategic SAP accounts several of which are listed [here|https://ecohub.sdn.sap.com/irj/ecohub/solutions/control2007]).
What might partly address your requirement is the [APQC Process Classification Framework|http://www.apqc.org/portal/apqc/site/?path=/research/pcf/index.html] . We took this framework as a starting point for building a model company process map. I cannot claim that it is Retail specific, but we have quite a few retail customers who have adopted Control 2007 and also several supply chain optimization projects which we have delivered.
If this is of interest - we provide a web hosted demonstration environment where you can explore the APQC process content I mentioned above. You can contact me through [SAP EcoHub|https://ecohub.sdn.sap.com/irj/ecohub/solutions/control2007] for more details

PP-PI - Process message processing and batch management in PI_CONS message

Hi All,
Hope you can help me to find the better solution... I will try to explain my scenario
Scenario: to control the production run PP-PI module is in use. Process order are created in SAP system and then transferred to the process control system where the execution of the process order is controlled On-line. Once per month the confirmations are transferred from this control system to SAP. In the Process control system batch are not managed. For good issue posting standard process message PI_CONS is used.
Now we have the situation that some raw materials used for process order processing are managed with batch. During the process order creation the batch related with this raw materials can be determined, only during the month when the raw material is entered in the plant is where the batch is determined. At the end of the month the batch of this materials is available in the SAP system (not in the process control system). Due to behavior of PI_CONS regarding batch if this characteristic is not informed in the process message or in the reservation an issue is trigger.My doubts are:
1.- If I need inform the batch during this confirmation ,an even split the quantities in the process message according the batch availability, I'm force to use a custom process message or there is other workaround? (remember is not feasible send the batch to the process control system)
2.- probably i miss something because I'm can't debug the execution of the process message. How can I debug the execution of a manually created process message?
Sorry for the long explanation I try to explain my scenario as better as possible.
Thanks in advance for your valuable inputs.

Thanks for your replay.
No really I don't like to make the batch mandatory, during the good issue is not feasible inform the batch due to it is not managed in the Process Control System. Due to the behavior of PI_CONS if for batch managed materials the batch is not informed in the message or in the reservation an error is trigger. In the reservation snot feasible inform the batch because in that moment is unknown.
My question is if it is feasible some how have like FIFO batch determination when the process message is processed without creating a custom message.
Thanks in advance

Bussiness Process, Integration Process, cc-BPM, BPM

Hello Everybody!!! Please help me!
1) In XI, Business Process = Integration Process = cc-BPM = BPM ??? Are these four the same thing?
2) Please tell me if I'm wrong: we have two types of message exchange in XI, stateless (through simple message exchange) and (ii) statefull (with BPM). There is no other type, ok?
thank you

Automatic Row Processing (DML) process is not updating the record

Hi all,
I have an application which was working fine last week and tested and backuped to new application. This Monday, one of the form in that application is not updating the data all of a sudden. I debug that by having page 0 variable and assign the value from the column variable to page 0 variable. Whatever value I changed to the column variable was getting updated to page 0 variable. But it is not updated in the database. So, I changed the success message of the "Automatic Row Processing (DML) process" and I can see the success message on the page, but the column value does not get updated. But when I go back and checked my backup application, that page is working fine. For now, I copy that from the backup application, but I would like to know why this is happening?
Thanks
SHY

Hi Scott,
Thank you very much for your response. Because of the database complexity, I can't create/import the application on the apex.oracle.com. I am just wondering why this is happening. One of my coworker said same thing happened to her in one of her project and it gets resolved once she restart the server. I am not able to restart the server to check and see if this resolved as the application is on the client server. Do we need to clean up any log file? Thanks.
