Thanks

Any ideas on this plan for a process chain?

Hi,
I have 6 ODSes. I load these on a daily basis with 6 different flat files. ODS1, ODS2 and ODS3 needs to be loaded first before ODS4, ODS5, ODS6.
Once all six ODSes are loaded, they are then aggregated based on some two key fields to and loaded into a cube. Npw I want to automate the process.
Can you please check if my plan for the process chain is right:
1. Start Process:
direct Scheduling
Change Selections:
Start date & Time
Period Jobs: check
Periodic Values: Daily
Restrictions: Always execute job
2. Indexes:(this flows into the first 3 ODSes)
Delete indexes
3. Load Data:
Load Data ODS1
Load Data ODS2
Load Data ODS3
4. Activate ODS1
5. Activate ODS2
6. Activate ODS3
(? What do I setup here so that the following will be loaded only if ODS1, ODS2 and ODS3 are successful)
7.Load Data
Load Data ODS4
Load Data ODS5
Load Data ODS6
8.Delete Indexes
9. Load Data
Load data from ODS1, ODS2, ODS3, ODS4, ODS5, ODS6 to the CUBE
10.Activate Cube (?Needs to activate cube? Is there a process type like that of activate ODS)
11. Create Index (Hm, will the Delete and create indexes in this plan take apply to both ODS and Cube)
Thanks, I will lovr to get hint from you. How do I factor in PSA? i.e. To always go to PSA then to ODS and Cube?

Hi,
1.Start the process.(as per your requirement)
2. Load the data to ODS in parallel (ODS1 , ODS2 & ODS 3)
3. Activate the three ODS , with separate ODS activation process type.
4.Put an AND condition
5. load data to ODS4 ,5 and 6
6. Activate ods4 ,5, & 6.
7. delete index for cube
8. load different data from ods to cube
9. create index.
                start
load ODS1 -- Load oDS2 -- Load ods 3
Activate ODS1 - Activate oDS2 - Activate ODS3
                 AND (process)
Load oDS4      load ods5    load ODS 6
Activate oDS4 Activate ODS5 Activate ODS 6
                 AND
          Delete the index
           Load data from different ODS to cube
            Create Index
   there is no concept of activating the cube .. it is only applicable to ods.

IP: Error in packaged planning sequence in process chain

Hi all,
We run a planning sequence from within a process chain. As the data transferred are quite a lot, we have packaged with setting "automatically" and with 30 packages to be built. Now the function returned (it ran already successfully before!) an error message stating:
Master cannot read return value from subprocess 2
and another error:
An error occurred with the maintenance of the query directory.
Do you have any idea what this could be?
Many thanks in advance,
Andreas

Hi Rakesh,
It's a BASIS problem. After transport during process chain activation, the background user tries to logon with the password and if it fails the chain will not be activated. The contents will be transported though. You can manually activate the chain. You can request the Basis guys to fix this.

BI IP Executing planning sequence via process chain not possible

Hi,
we use BI IP and have defined a process chain (RSPC) with value type process planning sequence. When we execute it, we get error message
"Inconsistent input parameter (parameter: <unknown>, value <unknown>)"
When we execute this planning sequence via the modeller or via SE38 RSPLS_PLSEQ_EXECUTE everything works fine. I thougt the cause could be the user of the job itself (job is executed with different user, and variant of planning sequence is user-dependent!), but I changed the user in the job itself as well without results.
any thoughts?

Hi,
I executed with my user and have a SAP_ALL authorization. Perhaps it could be because we use authorisation with the old method (4.0) (-> I'm not sure on this). I also think it has to do with authorization. I'll check this out with our authorization consultant.

What in Natural Number in the Planning View of Process Chains

Hi Experts,
Can anyone explain what is Natural number column in the Planning View of the Process Chain?
Thanks,
Rajan

Hello,
I am a new user. Using SAP BW 7. When I select planning view I would like to see a chain X in gray. How can I? I noticed that the natural number in grayed chains is 3 instead of 0: perhaps this is the procedure? I have to change the natural number?
Help me!
Thanks for answer!

Error in Step Copy Plan version in Process Chain

Hi all,
We have step in Process Chain called 'Copy Plan version'.This stet is getting failed quite frequently. I just repeat it and the error is getting solved. I just wanted to know that is there any permanent solution for that. We cant afford to getting it failed that frequently.
I dont have any idea about this step. Can you please provide me information about this step and a possible remedy aw well.
The error messaage is :
Selection accesses data that is currently locked; user
Job cancelled after system exception ERROR_MESSAGE.
Please suggest.
Regards
sunny

This is due to "Selection accesses data that is currently locked; user" , there is another process from another process chain which locked the object at the same time frame , so due to that this step is failing
you can increase waittime 30mins(example)before this Step Copy Plan version executes in the process chain.
OR, change the schedule time for this process chain

Hi all
can anybody tell me .
I have a psa table it's technical name is /BIC/B*
h how to find the above psa table is included in psa deletion process chain or not
please help me

Hi
Ope the PC in RSPC1 -->go to planning view of process chain
in left side you will find different types of process types.
under other BW process types folder -->you will find process type "Delete request from PSA"
drag this into your process chain planning view and customize it based on your requirements.
check the below article for step by step procedure

Creating process chains in production environment..

Hi,
We are planning to create process chains in our project , can we directly create process chains in the production environment? the data and the set up is very very small here so the number of chains and processess are very less , is it ok if we create the process chains in Production environemnt directly, or we need to create in development and transport it to production (note: there is no quality instance for BW in our project).
Solicit your help!!
Regards
Srinivas

Hi ,
Best practice would be to create PC in DEV and move it to PRD .
Actually what happens in real time is sometimes your data mismatch happens or some other data loading activity you are doing in PRD system . So you need the freedom of creating DTP or Infopackage directly in PRD system . otherwise it would be a time consuming process to make it from DEV to PRD .
Similarly when you are Infopackages & DTPs in PRD environment, there is a chance that your process chain might also be changed . So yes we can create it in PRD system .
Kind Regards,

Process Chain: what does the variant do with "Delelte changelog"

We have a process chain developed by a consulting firm that inside the process chain, there is a variant with the description of "Delelte changelog older than 3 months". Double click this variant to open this variant interface, 1st column titled "Object" shows all rows are ODS picture icons, 2nd column titled "Object Type" shows all rows are "Change Log Table", 3rd column titled "Object Name" shows all rows starting with "8ZXXXXXXXXXX". What kind of this variant function in Process Chain as "Delete changelog"?
Thanks and we are looking forward to seeing your answer soon!

Hi
DSO contains 3 tables. New data table, change log table and active data table.
New data table: When the data was loaded, first the data goes to new data table.
change log table: When you activate the data in DSO, it goes to change log table and active data table. Change log table contains the changes happened like before image,after image.
Active data: Reporting is done out of this table.
Over a period of time the change log table grows in size and it needs to be periodically cleaned to reduce the size of the table.
The variant used to delete the change log entries if it is older than 3 months automatically using the process type "delete change log" in process chains.
Hope it helps.

Execute process chain in BI out of an planning function

Hello all,
is there a way to execute a process chain in BI out of a planning function, e.g. FOX?
We are using BI 7.0. Any help would be fantastic.
Best regards,
Stefan from Munich/Germany

Hi Stefanos,
you could use a planning function to call a function which starts the process chain. The planning function could be a customer planning function type. Make shure that you tick the without blocks tickbox. Otherwise it may be possible that the execution of the process chain is done several times.

Using Planning Sequence in a Process Chain With input variants

Hi,
I have a COPY planning function which has multiple FROM and TO options like (From:Fiscal Year To Fiscal Year, From Version TO Version). In the layout they select the options for which they want to COPY and execute the function.
How can I replicate the same approach in a process chain with the varaints, how can i create the FROM and TO variables in the process chain.
Thanks
Rashmi.

Hi.
You can save variable variant for planning sequence in modeler and then use it in process chain.
In process chain you choose "Execute planning sequence" and add planning sequence with variant.
All this if you using IP instead BPS.
