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

I have a problem in creating a Process Chain(PC).

Hi GURU's
I have a problem in creating a Process Chain(PC). The PC should run on first 3 business days of the month for six times i,e 6am, 7am,8am, 9am,10am,11am.
For this i have created 3 PC like BD1, BD2, BD3, and i selected the Factory calender provided workday 1, 2 , 3 and time for three chains.
Now should i schedule it for 6times in a day.
I tried creating a new job for one of PC's but i have to change the timings for every month (this is not the proper solution).
Please help me.

Hi Friend,
For the days part, you can create a new factory calendar with first 3 business days of each month only as working days.
Then in the scheduling -> Restrictions; you can mention that Factory Calendar id and select radio button for "Move job to next working day". Schedule the chain as Periodic "Hourly".
Then for the Time part -> You can insert process type "Decision between multiple alternatives" after the start variant.
After you insert this process type you can create a formula in it to check for system time. In the if condition check for system time i.e., whether it is between 6 - 11. If only the system time is between 6 AM to 11 AM only then the decision step would turn to green and go to the successor step in the process chain.
Process chain would be like:
Start variant -> Decision Step -> Rest of the chain.
So in short the factory calendar will take care of which days the chain will run and decision step will take care of the timings.

Create the process chain

Hi all,
Can someone tell me if my steps are correct for creating the process chain for uploading from ODS into the cube.
Here are steps that I did:
1. created the 'full load' infopackage in the infosource for uploading from the Infosource into the ODS.
2. right click on ODS and select 'update ODS Data in Data Target' to upload into the cube (select 'init load').
3. create another 'full load' infopackage in the infosource and use it to create the process chain by pressing the 'process chain maintenance'.
Thank you.

Hi Sriram,
Thank you for resolving my doubt that the 'init load' and 'delta load' cannot be done in the same day.
Can you also answer me these few qustions?
1. If I have to create one infosource to assign the datasource 8xxxx,then how can I see it in the infosource list when I click on 'show generated ODS object before I create the infosource? Please explain.
2.I did click on Setting-> Display generated Object -> Show generated ODS object in RSA1 but I still cannot see the infosource 8xxxxxx in the list. Why?
3. How can I schedule the delta IP if I don't right click on and select "Update ODS to data targets "? Can you clarifiy it? ( not sure if you mean to select 'generate export datasourc')
4.in you last sentence, you said: run the delta IP in chain; do you maean use the delta IP to create the process chain?
Thank you.

Problem in creating a Process Chain

Hi,
I am using BI 7.0. I followed the following steps to create a process chain:
1. Create Start Process
2. Create Process Variant
3. And once this is created and saved, I clicked on process types
4. I dragged and dropped the Execute InfoPackage to the right side
5. And here, when I click on F4, it says, No Data Selected.
I have lot of infopackages that are created in my Datawarehousing Workbench.
But I am unable to view them...please let me know, how do I go about solving them...would definitely assign points for the solution. Thanks in advance.
Thanks & Regards.

Hi Ganesh,
just go to your administrative workbench and select your info package and copy the technical name... and now go to your process chain.. now click on Execute info package process type.. -> in that search help.. you can choose find option and give your info package technical name..(which you copied ) and press enter..
you can able to find that info package.. and clcik on taht.. and press eneter..

User wants to schedule the process chain - what is the best practice

I posted earler and got the anwser.
Create a custom ABAP program that calls the RSPC_API_CHAIN_START Function Module, with a selection for the Process Chain where your user can enter the Meta Chain name to start the process.
To make it simpler for the user to execute this, create a custom tcode for them in SE93, so that they logon to your BW environment, call up that tcode, enter the Meta Chain name and execute. With this, they wouldn't have to have access to RSPC.
I did the above and the user not able to execute it since he doesn't have access to the cube/dso to update the cube.
To overcome this I wrote another abap program and used the
SUBMIt program user ALEREMOTE
and there is a problem.I called the process chain start program using ALEREMOTE .
Now the user needs access to authorization object S_BTCH_NAM and authorization field BTCUNAME with value ALEREMOTE.
So again due to SOX the basis doesn't want to give the necessary access.
What is the best solution.
How in general if the user needs to execute the process chain how they do it.
Please let me know. Thanks for your help in advance.
Senthil

Hi Senthil
In general production scenerio, we do not run process chain manually. To execute a process chain you should have necessary authorization. As you have assigned alertmote in the start variant, any user other thatn that will not be able to trigger the same.
Instead of alertmote , use the nornal start variant to trigger the process chain and give the user the normal authorization. Whenever user wants to run the infopackage manually or via process chain they should have the auth to view the infoprovider content as well....

Error while designing the process Chain.

Hi All,
I have created the Process Chain.
1. Start Variant.
2. Load data to PSA for ODS 1.
3. Load data to ODS 2
4. Activate the ODS 2
5. Read PSA and load data target to ODS 1.
6. Activate the ODS 1.
While checking the process Chain, i am getting the error message as
"No Type "Activate Datastore Object data" process can be in front of process "Read PSA and data target" Variable PSA_CONFIRM_ITEM in the chain.
Can u pls help on this issue.
Thanks,

Hi,
You can try this..
..................................................... Start ...................................................
Load data to PSA for ODS 1 ..................................Load data to ODS 2
...................................................................................Activate ODS 2
.............................................. AND ..........................................................
........................ Read PSA and load data To ODS 1 .............................................

Issue realted to the process chain.

dear sir,
i hope all are doing great, this is the message regarding the issue with process chain in sap-bw(from application server)
i'm trying to load data from flat file to ods and infocube parallely, i've created the infocube and ods object and i've also created the respective infopackages and copied the name of infopackages.
i've created the process chain and in monitoring i.e. rspcm when i'm adding the process chain the status in not green its a yellow triangle.
apart from that i'm getting an error message saying that- objects have been locked by the sapuser.
please do help me to get rid of this issue.
please do send me the related documents regarding the process chains, that would help me to understand the concept.
thank you.

You will need to post this to a 'better' forum this is crystal reports.

Placing of the Process Chains

Hi
I created the Process Chains and it is placed at the 'Not Assigned' level. How would I changed this to something with a descriptive name?
Thanks,
RT

Hi,
Goto RSPC->Double click on the Process Chain you want to assign.
On the menu bar goto Process Chain->Attributes->Display Components->and in the drop down you can assign the component you want else you can create your own and then assign it.
Alternatively, from the toolbar goto the button next to the red and yellow arrows,(its a blue button with a triangle and some other symbol). That'll also take you to the assign component screen.

How to create an OS command that can be used in the process chains

I need to create a command that can copy files from one location to another for a unix machine.
I have the commands for the unix machine, but need to create a Z customer command so it can be executed in a process chain in SAP

Hi Again,
You can use ABAP program in the process chain.
I guess there are some OS level commands in ABAP which will allow you to open, close, read , write and move files.
Serach in ABAP help or on net.

Problem with the Process chain

Hi,
I created a Process chain and moved to Q for testing. The transport was failed because some objects are locked in BQ system. I unlocked them and moved the TR again. Now the transport was successful but the changes to the process chain are not reflecting in the Q system. There are no errors in the transport log but we have some warning messages which can be ignored. What could be the reason?
Thanks

Yes, When I get into the change mode I can see the changes. Thanks a lot for your reponse.
Full Points awarded.
Thanks again.

How to create message at the end of the process chain

Hi friends,
I have created process chains. It's working fine. But I wanted to create message to give alert if process failure.
My requirement is if any process failure due to any reason message has to receive to the responsible person. I'm not sure how to do this.
Can anybody suggest how to do this if possible step by step.
Thanks & Regards
Siri

Hi,
Genarally, you can create a message, by right click and create message then give email ids in Maintain Recipent list (Recipt type = via internet) and then give message that you want to send in Edit Document.
Check whether the email address is maintained in SU01 in address tab.
Configure SMTP server is set up properly ( SCOT). Ask basis team to do it.
There is also other option to send the mail through program, for this you need to trigger any event or you can insert this program at teh end of the process chain.

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
