Problem in Infopackage included in process chain

I am trying to load data by executing infopackage in process chain . But i am getting the below warning and no data is loaded or request is created in the DSO .
The warning :
A type "Data Transfer Process" process has to follow process "Execute InfoPackage" var.ZPAK_4B99H61J5YH0F8TJ0OL2CUVHX in the chain

Hello,
I believe you are in BI7.
The point is that the infopackage(IP) loads data to the PSA and then you must run a DTP that will load data from the PSA to your DSO. So in your process chain, if you've added only the IP, your data is loaded only in the PSA
see there [http://help.sap.com/erp2005_ehp_03/helpdata/EN/45/dc799c25c15592e10000000a1553f7/frameset.htm]
Remind that you will also have to add the DSO activation at the end of your chain.
Best regards

Dynamic selection parameter in infopackage included in process chain

Hello,
I have a process chain that contains three infopackages, they are launched sequently. All of them have selection parameters calculated based on a parameter ID set in SAP memory by program, with ABAP sentence "SET PARAMETER ID.. ",..so the routine in the package executes a "GET PARAMETER id..." sentence.
The result is that no problem with first infopackage, the value is properly read, but for the other infopackages the value is not recovered from memory.
Any idea?

Hi
Did you resolve this issue ?
I have same issue

Infopackage variable in process chain

I need to execute a chain that ask for an infoobject values before the execution, using it to filter in a infopackage included in the chain.
Is it possible?
Could I enter individual and ranges values in the previous selection?
Thanks.

Hi,
there is no such way available for a process chain to ask for selection.
You can try the following work around. Create an ABAP program to get user entered values for the infopak selection and put in the table TVARVC.
now in your infopak write routine at field selection level to read corresponding values from the table TVARVC.
NOw what you could do is, at the end of your main ABAP program trigger your process chain. so the process chain will be triggered imd once you enter the values.

How i run that delta infopackage in my process chain

Hello Sir,
i have a delta infopackage which sciduled in a process chain but it does not pick any delta i have to manualy run repair full infopackage dally and then delta comes in to picture my target is a dso so it does't have any problem.
the datasourse is costamize
delta pointer is cal day
my question is how i run that delta infopackage in my process chain
Thanks...

Hi
IS the process type "delta infopackage " is executing in the process chain or not? Plz once check in SM37 Tcode . and Why r u running the repair full request infopackage . If u miss any delta records then only u have to run the repair full request . If delta records are not extracted then better to manually extract the delta infopackage.
Plz once check in SM37 Tcode whether the execute infopackage process step is running or not? or any error has occured in that PC.
Thanx & Regards,

Problem with a stuck yellow process chain

Hi all,
I have a problem with a stuck yellow process chain.
A Meta chain calling a sub chain. The sub chain loads some master data.
Some months ago one process stopped in yellow, no processes still running.
So after that day when the meta chain runs the error msg is as follows
Diagnosis
The previous run of the current subchain, BW_METADATA_MD_ST , is not yet
     complete. This leads to communication errors with the metachain called,
     BW_METADATA_MD .
System response
The current run of the metachain is cancelled.
Procedure
1. End the previous run of the subchain, or wait until the run is
         complete.
         It does not matter whether the run was successfully completed or
         not.
2. Restart the metachain.
How do I end the previous run of the subchain?
There is no process running, just want to set the flag to ended.
Thanks in advance.

Converting Infopackage groups to process chains

Hi guys,
I was wondering if you could assis me on how to convert an Infopackage group to a process chain? I am in RSA1OLD [in BI7], and i am trying to convert all Infopackage groups to process chains. If you could explain how to do it step-by-step it will be helpful. Thanks in advance

Hi,
1. Goto prcess chain maintenance screen (RSPC)
2. Create new Process Chain
3. Create variant for Start process (Give description and Tech. name).
4. From process types select "Infopackage" and drag it to the process chain window.
5. Select Infopackages used in Infopackage Group (one bu one)
6. Link thes processes as per the execution sequence in Infopackage group.(Click on process and drag to the other process)
7. Activate the process chain.

Infopackage groups to process chain conversion

HI Gurus,
I am doing Infopackage Groups to Process chain conversion by using procss chain maintanence icon in scheduler place of Info package group.If I am doing conversion I am getting all infopackages as parallel manner. I need to make it as serial manner.Eagerly expecting your reply.
With regards
Siva

HI shiva,
Can you please clear about ur question:
r u doing infopackage group for ur PC. How many groups u have created.
Generaly if you prepare a batch for infopackages all will run in series( u have to give in proper manner while grouping).
Let me know ur question clearly.

Differences Between Infopackage Groups and Process chains

Hi All,
Can anybody explain me what are the differences between Infopackage Groups and Process Chains ? And how process chains are more comfortable

hi nagarjuna,
An InfoPackage group is a collection of InfoPackages. In order to summarize data requests which logically belong together from a business point of view, and to therefore simplify the request, you can collect data requests (meaning the InfoPackages) into an InfoPackage Group. You can schedule each of these groups in the scheduler . With the data request the scheduler can access InfoPackage groups directly and thereby request more than one InfoPackage at a time, corresponding to the setting in the InfoPackage group. Thus, you can support InfoPackage groups with the serialization of your data requests.
While a process chain is a sequence of processes that wait in the background for an event. Some of these processes trigger a separate event that can start other processes in turn. hit this link to know abt PCs:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/8f/c08b3baaa59649e10000000a11402f/content.htm
Process chains are more comfortable becoz itz not like infopackages where we have to schedule each pack individually. And in PCs, monitoring is very convenient since u see evrything in a single page.

Infopackage red in process chain but green in monitor

With our system (BW30B, patch14, W2K, Oracle 9.2.0.5) we are having some issues with some infopackages which are included in a process chain.
In the process chain, the status is red with the following error messages: "Processing in Warehouse timed out; processing steps mising", "<DS:DE.RSCALLER>Caller is still missing." but the data was loaded properly --> if I open the monitor status for that infopackage, the status is green (and I confirm that data was properly loaded).
But, this is a problem as it screws up the process chain. I did not find a fix after seaching OSS notes, but the note #766712 seems close to our issue - I tried to apply it but it did not work. In the note, it's recommended to turn on a higher enqueue time --> could you please help me on how to do it? I checked everywhere and did not find the menu option to do it.
Any help appreciated
Thanks
Ioan

Thanks Roberto
I do not think it is related to this setting (it's now set to 30000, which is 3H) - the data properly ended loading before.
When I change the status manually in the monitor, it is reflected in the process chain - but this happens every night, so I have to turn them green manualy every morning ...
The note is 766721 (and not 766712)
Thanks in advance for any help

Infopackage insert in process chain does not work

Hi,
We upgrade a system in support package 13 (we are in veresion 7) and since this upgrade i can not add an infopackage in process chains.
When i try to insert an "execute infopackage" process, i click on the list of infopackage available and the systems says :
No data selected
Of course i have info^package available.
If you have any idea ?
Thanks
Cyril

We had the same problem ( BI 7.0 - SP 13 ) but was resolved after having applied OSS note 1062704.
Just apply that note - it should solve it.

InfoPackage QM status Process Chain

Hello Gurus,
In a process chain (BI 7.0) we have an InfoPackage which is loading the content of a flat file in the PSA.
The problem is that the flat file can be empty and in this case the QM status of the InfoPackage stays in yellow and thus the process chains does not go on.
I can change the QM status to green manually but as those chains will be launched automatically I need somthing that automatically sets the QM status to green when the flat file is empty.
Thanks for your help, regards
Thibault

Hi,
Try this. Select the infopackage, then Sheduler menu, Traffic Light Color for Empty requests (or CtrlShiftF6 with the infopackage selected) and select green. And save changes.
Hope it Helps.

Infopackage Group to Process Chain Conversion

Dear Gurus,
We are going to do BI upgradation,prrequisite for that we have to convert all Infopackage groups in to Process Chain.In our system totally we 600 Infopackage groups.Let me know the optimized and oraganized way to make a process chain conversion.Before the conversion process, what are the basic measurement (Like sequence,Grouping under process chain,Scheduling .Etc...) I have to do.Anticipate your respone eagerly.
With regards
Siva

Hello Sivakumar,
Try this Function Module RSPC_MIGRATE_INFOPACKAGE_GROUP , this should help you.
You can also goto Process Chain Maintanance in the InfoPackage Group and create the Process Chain.
If that doesn't then as a manual process, you have to note down all the InfoPackage sequence and include them in the Process Chain in the same order.
Thanks

Problem delete chang log from process chain BW 7.01

We have upgrade BW from 3.5 version to 7.01 version two month ago.
Now I realized that the process chain running one a week to delete PSA and change log don't work well after upgrade.
The process chain end without errors (status is green), but the change log are not deleted.
In the test system I try to delete the Change Log in 2 mode:
1-with the variant "Deletion of Requests from the Change Log " and the datastoreobject = myods and all the option (correct request, incorrect request and "Delete Activation Requests Only"). In the log i see this messagge
The following excluded selections will be processed:
No excluded selections found
The following included selectiosn will be processed:
Pattern: DataStore = 0FIGL_O06, InfoArea = *
The following reqeust selections were set:
Number of days = 0000000010, Successful = X, Incorrect = X, Curr. Requests =
The following change logs were selected:
2-with the variant "Deletion of Requests from PSA " and the datasource= 8myods and all the option (correct request, incorrect request). In the log i see this messagge
The following excluded selections will be processed:
No excluded selections found
The following included selectiosn will be processed:
Pattern: DS = 80FIGL_O06, LS = BWTCLNT100, IS = , AC =
The following reqeust selections were set:
Number of days = 0000000015, Successful = X, Incorrect = X, Load requests =
The following PSAs were selected:
In both case the change log is not deleted.
I can delete the change log only using Manage screen of my ods and then using Menu -> Environment ->Delete Change Log Data.
Anna Maria

I see that this topic is still active/unanswered...
We're having the same problem, but not just changelogs, also for PSAs. We have a weekly process chain that does housekeeping on our BW system, cleaning up PSAs and changelogs, compressing cubes, realigning time-dep masterdata and renewing indexes.
The PSA chain runs fine and about 90% of all PSAs get deleted, but there are some datasources (all of them are of type 8* datamart datasources) that don't get their PSAs deleted. It says "The following PSAs were selected:" and then nothing happens...
I tried all tickbox combinations and checked that there are no PSA entries blocked by invalid partitions. Manual deletion (via "manage" in the datasource) works fine, but is tedious and time consuming.
Also, most of the 8* datasource PSAs do get deleted. Just a handful (+/- 25) get skipped somehow.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Eduard
PS: We're still running 3.5-style backend dataflow, but will eventually get converted to transformations and DTPs. But that's not on our agenda (yet).
