Problem faced in running the process chain

Hi All,
I am having a process chain having few warning..
But I want to schedule that process cahin but I am not able to do so, when I schedule it , it throws a message as
"chain changed, schedule in display mode not possible"..
So how can I schedule it.
Please share the information on it.
Thanks,
vinay.

Hi Vinay,
Have you transported this chain from Devlopment to Production, because sometimes the process chain change will not appear in display mode when you move any tranports, you have to go in a change mode of the particular process chain and activate it manually and try to schedule the process chain, it ll work.
Thanks

Error while running the process chain

Hi, I am getting following error while running the process chain.
"Lock NOT set for: Deleting the data completely from a data target"
Please suggest.
amit

hi,
This is due to a lock on the objects which is being used by ur load.
Even if master data used by this would be in a lock by an attribute change run. wait till that attribute change run finishes and then repeat.
If this target itself is locked by someother process like rollup , compression , this error would appear. In this case also repeat the step after those locking process finish.
some general locks during loading:
Sometimes parallel processing in DTP might lead to this, its better set the DTP and infopackage in serial processing. In this case change the settings and then repeat the process.
There is a specific case in which the Serial DTP gets locked by itself, in this case repeat it untill it succeeds.
You can identify the above scenario as below. This is applicable only if the DTPs processing mode is serial.
if u see in SM 37 this load would have three DTP processes running.
it should have only two.
In this case cancel the process and repeat it untill u get it right.
hope this helps u

Authorizations setting for running the process chain

Hai
Iam planning to run the process chain for loading the data into ODS. But i dont have authorization for it.
so what are the authorizations i need to run the process chain in my system. And how can i set all those authorizations to my user-id. I have all authorization rights .
Pls let me knw
kumar

Hi,
Authorizations for Process Chains
Use
You use authorization checks in process chain maintenance to lock the process chain, and the processes of the chain, against actions by unauthorized users.
·        You control whether a user is allowed to perform specific activities.
·        You control whether a user is allowed to schedule the processes in a chain.
The authorization check for the processes in a chain runs when the system performs the check. This takes place upon scheduling or during synchronous execution. The check is performed in display mode. The check is performed for each user that schedules the chain; it is not performed for the user who executes the chain. The user who executes the chain is usually the BI background user. The BI background user automatically has the required authorizations for executing all BI process types. In attribute maintenance for the process chain, you can determine the user who is to execute the process chain.
See also: Display/Maintenance of Process Chain Attributes ® Execution User.
Features
For the administration processes that are bundled in a process chain, you require authorization for authorization object S_RS_ADMWB.
To work with process chains, you require authorization for authorization object S_RS_PC. You use this authorization object to determine whether process chains can be displayed, changed or executed, and whether logs can be deleted. You can use the name of the process chain as the basis for the restriction, or restrict authorizations to chains using the application components to which they are assigned.
Display/Maintain Process Chain Attributes
Use
You can display technical attributes, display or create documentation for a process chain, and determine the response of process chains during execution.
Features
You can display or maintain the following attributes for a process chain:
Process Chain ® Attribute ® ...
Information
Description
( Rename)
You can change the name of the process chain.
Display Components
Display components are the evaluation criterion in the process chain maintenance. Assigning the process chains to display components makes it easier to access the chain you want.
To create a new display component, choose Assign Display Components in the input help window and assign a technical name and description for the display component in the Display Grouping dialog box that appears.
Documents
You can create and display documents for a process chain.
For more information, see Documents.
Last Changed By
Displays the technical attributes of the process chain:
·        When it was last changed and who by
·        When it was last activated and who by
·        Object directory entry
Evaluation of Process Status
If you set this indicator, all the incorrect processes in this chain and in the overall status of the run are evaluated as successful; if you have scheduled a successor process upon error or always.
The indicator is relevant when using metachains: Errors in the processes of the subchains can be evaluated as unimportant for the metachain run. The subchain is evaluated as successful, despite errors in such processes of the subchain. If, in the metachain, the successor of the subchain is scheduled upon success, the metachain run continues despite errors in unimportant processes of the subchain.
Mailing and alerting are not affected by this indicator and are still triggered for incorrect processes if they have an upon error successor.
Polling Indicator
With this indicator you can control the response of the main process for distributed processes. Distributed processes, such as the load process, are characterized as having different work processes involved in specific tasks.
With the polling indicator you determine whether the main process needs to be kept until the actual process has ended.
By selecting the indicator:
-         A high level of process security is guaranteed, and
-         External scheduling tools can be provided with the status of the distributed processes.
However, the system uses more resources; and a background process is required.
Monitoring
With the indicator in the dialog box Remove Chain from Automatic Monitoring?, you can specify that a process chain be removed from the automatic monitoring using CCMS.
By default CCMS switches on the automatic process chain monitoring.
For more information about the CCMS context Process Chains, see the section BW Monitor in CCMS.
Alerting
You can send alerts using alert management when errors occur in a process chain.
For more information, see Send Alerts for Process Chains.
Background Server
You can specify here on which server or server group all of the jobs of a chain are scheduled. If you do not make an entry, the background management distributes the jobs between the available servers.
Processing Client
If you use process chains in a client-dependent application, you can determine here in which client the chain is to be used. You can only display, edit, schedule or execute the chain in this client.
If you do not maintain this attribute, you can display, edit, schedule or execute the process chain in all clients.
Process variants of type General Services that are contained in a process chain with this attribute set will only be displayed in the specified client.
This attribute is transported. You can change it by specifying an import client during import. You must create a destination to the client set here in the target system for the import post processing (transaction RSTPRFC) The chain is activated after import and scheduled, if necessary, in this client.
Execution User
In the standard setting a BI background user executes the process chain (BWREMOTE).
You can change the default setting so that you can see the user that executes the process chain and therefore the processes, in the Job Overview. You can select the current dialog user who schedules the process chain job, or specify a different user.
The setting is transported.
The BI background user has all the necessary authorizations to execute all BI process types. Other users must assign themselves these authorizations so that authorization errors do not occur during processing.
Job Priority
You use this attribute to set the job priority for all of the jobs in a process chain.

SET CURRENT DEGREE = 1..error when run the process chain..

Hi Experts,
when i run the process chain , i got the following error..
SET CURRENT DEGREE = 1..
what is this error?
Kindly help ..

hi,
As BW reporting queries are often CPU-intensive and geneally executed in parallel.
Parallel processing is activated dynamically in the SAP BW system for every reporting query CURRENT DEGREE = ANY and itsdefault value is 1.
you can limit the maximum number of parallel tasks using ZPARM PARAMDEG(maximum number of parallel tasks ) for the no. of parallel processors for its usuage and this should match no. of processors you can get touch with your basis team
check SAP Note:390016 -DB2/390: BW: Database settings and performance ; in that look at query parallelism it explain about this
hope it helps

How to Run the process chain

Deal all,
I have a doubt:
How to exclude a process from a process chain which has a daily loads.
Ex: We have a problem with 0FI_GL_4 data source and that problem will take more time to solve..but till that time i want to run the remaining processes which are in the process chain (i.e meta chain). i mean to say is i have to exclude the Process which is in problem (0FI_GL_4) but remaining everything should go smooth.
once the problem is rectified again i have to include the process which is in problem in the process chain.
Please help me
Regards
Venu

Hi Venu,
U just bring the chain in Change Mode and then RightClick on that Process which u want to exclude and say delete.
Once u are done with this Activate ur Process chain and schedule ur Process chain for the time which u want.
Assign Points if this helps u.....
Thanks,

How to run the process chain immediately?

Hi experts,
I'm a beginner for this field, Suppose there is a process chain called "X" which is used to extract the data from SAP R3 side for the purpose of getting the data for BI query called "Q1". "X" has been schedule to run every day in the night in BI side and also there are jobs have been schedule in SAP R3 by using the T-code lbwe. (they also runs once per day in the night)
According to above explanation, If I execute the BI Query today, I can view only up to yesterday data. Suppose I have updated some data in the tables at SAP R3 side today. therefore immediately I want to see the changes when I execute the BI query...
Can you explain me how can I do this? Please explain this in Step by step if you can.
Thanks,
Regards,
Nimesha.

HI ,
If u want to schedule the PC immediately, then go to the change mode of the process chain and double click on the start process select immediate button so that the process chain will run immediately after scheduling the PC.
What job would u like to run in R/3 ? Is it V3 to move the records from the queue delta / unserialized v3 update to delta queue, if so then go to LBWE --->job control and do the setting there.
Note: U may get one box for o/ p device then type LP01 or ask the BASIS TEAM .
Hope u got it,
Thanx &Regards,

How to run the process chain sucessfully

HI ALL
I have a process chain loading differnt infopackages and the problem is that when ever there is no data to load the chain stops there and i have to manually make the request green and start from the next step.
Is there any process type which makes the yellow request green when there is no data and proceed to the next step.
thanks

Hi,
I guess you need to do two settings in the request monitor. Open the monitor and goto 'Settings->Treatment of Requests'. In the following popup select the green light for requests with no data and for requests with warnings. As this is a global setting you only need to do that once. For the next loads it should then be fine for you.

Load balancing in the process chains

HI friends
I have 6 subchains in 1 metachain . we are facing a problem where we have to 2 servers . but when we run the process chains they are occuping all the DIA process in only one server . the other server is empty . so is there a way that we can do the load balancing in the process chains . so that the process chains can occupy all the resources in both servers than only one . please do reply . this is very important . thankyou for all your replies .
*Points will be rewarded *.

Hi,
check this out: https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/com.sap.km.cm.docs/oss_notes/sdn_oss_bc_ccm/~form/handler
additionally some information.
You can specify a server on which the chain will run, but this is not really load balancing. Load balancing must be set up by a basis person.

Hi,
RSPC_CHAIN_EXECUTE_REMOTE program runs the Process chain automatically.
If we want to change the status of the dependant chains and to run automatically we can execute RSPC_PROCESS_FINISH but we need to give the parameters like Variant name,logid,process type,Instance name .
Thank you....,

Schedule the Process Chain automatically in BW

Hi SDN Guru's,
I have an urgent requirement in BW. I want to run the Process Chain automatically in BW when the job for the deltas in R/3 are completed.
I know that in BW we can trigger the process chain by the background job only by giving the date and time or after the event and after the job.
But my requirement is the process chain should automatically be triggered in BW once the R/3 delta job is run and completed and the delta records are updated in RSA7.
Can any body please let me know how we can do this as this is the urgent requirement for me.
Please let me know how and where we need to write the code or make the settings for satisfying my requirement.
Thanks & Regards,
Vamshi Krishna.

HI Vamshi:
Take a look at note 409239.
Thanks for any points you choose to assign (points are the way of saying "thanks" in SDN)

Function module used to restart the process chain in the middle?

Hi all,
can anyone pls let me know the function module to restart the process chain in the middle of the process chain?
I need to run the process chain from the middle which can be done through a function module can anyone pls let me know!!
Thanks
pooja

what exactly your requirement is?
You can't trigger the process in the middle either it should be trigger by start variant or it's predessor.
If your chain failed in the middle - you can fix the prob and can do 'Repeat' option or you can also use FM 'RSPC_PROCESS_FINISH . (this FM will work only if the chain fails)

The 0co_om_opa_6 ip in the process chains takes long time to run

Hi experts,
The 0co_om_opa_6 ip in the process chains takes long time to run around 5 hours in production
I have checked the note 382329,
-> where the indexes 1 and 4 are active
-> index 4 was not "Index does not exist in database system ORACLE"- i have assgined to " Indexes on all database systems and ran the delta load in development system, but guess there are not much data in dev it took 2-1/2 hrs to run as it was taking earlier. so didnt find much differnce in performance.
As per the note Note 549552 - CO line item extractors: performance, i have checked in the table BWOM_SETTINGS these are the settings that are there in the ECC system.
-> OLTPSOURCE - is blank
   PARAM_NAME - OBJSELSIZE
   PARAM_VALUE- is blank
-> OLTPSOURCE - is blank
   PARAM_NAME - NOTSSELECT
   PARAM_VALUE- is blank
-> OLTPSOURCE- 0CO_OM_OPA_6
   PARAM_NAME - NOBLOCKING
   PARAM_VALUE- is blank.
Could you please check if any other settings needs to be done .
Also for the IP there is selction criteris for FISCALYEAR/PERIOD from 2004-2099, also an inti is done for the same period as a result it becoming difficult for me to load for a single year.
Please suggest.

The problem was the index 4 was not active in the database level..it was recommended by the SAP team to activate it in se14..however while doing so we face few issues se14 is a very sensitive transaction should be handled carefully ... it should be activate not created.
The OBJSELSIZE in the table BWOM_SETTINGS has to be Marked 'X' to improve the quality as well as the indexe 4 should be activate at the abap level i.e in the table COEP -> INDEXES-> INDEX 4 -> Select the u201Cindex on all database systemu201D in place of u201CNo database indexu201D, once it is activated in the table abap level you can activate the same indexes in the database level.
Be very carefull while you execute it in se14 best is to use db02 to do the same , basis tend to make less mistake there.
Thanks Hope this helps ..

Program is not sending emails if I run it within the process chain

Hi All,
I am facing a weird issue; I have an ABAP program which compares tables and sends the results in an email. It is working fine if I run it standalone. However, if I run it within the process chain it still runs but doesn't send the email.
Any idea on how to troubleshoot this?
Thanks

maybe because it's ran under a different user (ALEREMOTE)?
the user that executes the "mail" needs a valid emailaddress to be able to send...

Problem in Activating Hierarchy Attribute change run through process chain.

Hi All,
I have the problem in Hierarchy change run processw running through process chain..and also process chain completes successfully without any error..
Even hierarchy change run completes successfully the hierarchy objects are not activating,
so daily when i have to activate hierarchy objects manually..
and what i did was in one attributechange run process i have included 10 hierarchy object is it correct or else i have to separatly create 10 attribute change hierachy proceess in the process chain.. pls through some lights on this issue
With regards,
Hari

Hi venkat,
Yes.. i already include the save hierarchies process in process chain...
my main problem is hierarchy infobject are not activating using process chain and also even process chain is not giving error message.. and in which log table the hierarchy objects are maintained (such as run time, date , status etc..).
IS there is any other settings to be made in process chain..
with regards,
hari

Problem in creating the Process Chain

hi Guru's
my client want to run a process chain for first 3 business days of the month for every hour.
then i created a 3 Process chains say ex. A B C.
Now i use the conditions for Process Chain A is Date and Time
i have given the date and time,
Selected Periodic Job Option
-> From Period Values button selected other period and given 1 for every month, 1 for every hour,
-> Selected the Restrictions Button and given the factory calender and selected " Job not to run on holiday and sundays "
therefore the chain can run on every month for whole day based on Factory calender.
the same options used for PC's B & C
The problem is the process Chain A has ran only once it didnt ran for every hour.
In released job i can see the job frequency for every month and every hour...
Request you gurus to suggest.
Regards,
Lajvanth
