Problem kicking off process chains using Tivoli Job Scheduling

In our pre-production BW system testing,when the process chains are being kicked off through Tivoli,they are not working.
We dont get issues when the chains are run directly in BW,without using Tivoli.
The jobs with 'after event' RSPROCESS setting that kick off next node on each node's completion,are not leaving out a 'copy' after a scheduled run.
So in the next run from Tivoli,the dependency job isnt there in scheduled status,which fails the chain.
We tried manually copying the dependency jobs on the nodes.Doing this,chain does kick off from Tivoli.But again jobs dont leave copies and next run from
Tivoli fails.We tried using 'periodic job' setting.This leaves copies of job.But then why is BW able to copy out and kick off jobs,while this isnt happening when kicked off through Tivoli.
A node in the process chain is BLUE when it has a scheduled job ready in sm37,but turns GREY(no scheduled job is there in sm37),once the Tivoli kicks off chains after the manual copy.
We suspect this either to be a authorization problem or an issue with how it works when kicked off through Tivoli.Process chain 'context' is somehow not created when it runs through Tivoli.
Anyone seen such an issue before?Suggestions are welcome..

Vishvesh

Hi Manfred,
The chain does get kicked off from Tivoli.
But the job fails in Tivoli as..when it tries to hand over execution to the 1st local chain in the 'meta chain' the required job isnt there in scheduled status,with the 'after event' RSPROCESS dependency set on it.
cheers,
Vishvesh

    How to find process chain using background job in sm37

    Better is to select the job.
    Select (Define) Step (s) or F6.
    Select the line and Menu Goto>Variant.
    The variant contains the name of the CHAIN and its VARIANT.
    Success
    We faced an old job and via job monitoring we were informed about a cancelled job every 'interval'.
    We noticed that the related chain was deleted but still the job was scheduled each interval again and was cancelled because an event was missing
    We could not find the scheduled job via SM37.
    Via view V_OP, view over tbtco abd tbtcp, we find the related entry.
    We delete these entries via function BP_JOB_DELETE....

  • Scheduling of process chain with background job

    Hello All,
                  I have scheduled the process chains through background jobs. I have copied the meta chain and created seven background jobs that is from Monday till sunday. The problem is most frequently the job gets cancelled with the message
    Process CHAIN, variant PAA1_GS001 is not scheduled waiting for event RSPROCESS 44NRPDWZ7CQUJ92ATDTY6368H.
    This is the variant for the next process after the start process. I tried by giving merge active versions, but one day the background job runs fine , but the next day it gets cancelled.
    If anyone has faced this issue before kindly let me know.
    Regards,
    Karthik.

    Hi,
    It seems to be there may be in probelm in Varients, so create a separate Varient for each PC and then activate the PC and execute.

  • How to trigger a process chain using external scheduler ?

    Hi all,
             we have a requirement wherein we need to trigger the process chains from an external scheduler used by client rather than directly scheduling it through BW scheduler.So any pointers on this will be heplful.

    Hi we have had a same scenario like this. You can schedule it using schedulers like autosys. Speak to your basis team and see if you have the autosys software installed or some thing similar to that. You have to write a program which calls the function RSPC_CHAIN_START. When you excute this program, it willl ask for a variant to execute. this variant will be the start variant of the process chain you want to trigger.
    the flow will be like the basis team will schedule the autosys or the scheduler to run the program and this program will in turn trigger the process chain.

  • Problem with a process chain transport

    Hi all,
      I have a problem with a process chain transport, I transport it but when I see the changes in testing environment I don’t see it, I did it four times but nothing happen and I don’t have errors.
      Can anybody tell me how to transport a process chain.
    Thanks.

    Hi Federico,
    When you tranport Process Chains, initially chains will be available under "Not Asigned" node in RSPC Transaction. The transported chains wont be get highlighted automatically. Manually need to open the chain in update mode and activate it on Quality.
    Hope it will help you to resolve the problem.

  • Trigger Process chain using ABAP code

    Hi All,
    As per my knowledge there are 2 ways to trigger a process chain using ABAP code :
    1) Using FM ‘RSPC_API_CHAIN_START’ and passing process chain name as the parameter
    2)Using FM 'BP_EVENT_RAISE' and passing process event as the parameter, which you can create using SM62 transaction.
    I would like to know which one is better to use, in terms of advantage and disadvantage.

  • Finding Process Chain using the Request Number

    Hello,
    I am new to BI and currently monitoring Process Chains.
    I am scheduling a process chain which runs 3 times in a day.
    When i see the infocube there are four requests in the infocube, that means one more request apart from my three.
    The other reuqest is also being exeuted by user ALEREMOTE which means even it is being triggered by some other process chain.
    Can i please know how to find out the other process chain using the request number or so.
    Thanks in Advance.
    Bharathi.

    Hi,
    Goto each request and navigate to Infopackge screen and there you ll be able to find the process chain maintenance button. Click on that button, there you ll come to know what are all the process chain have been used for the single or multiple IPs.
    Check one by one Request Infopak.

    Is this item supposed to be compatible with the 2nd gen nano?
    I ask because the dock connector on the second gen nano is not in the same place as the other iPods (the first gen nano for instance) and this may be your problem.
    There have been posts here before about 2nd gen nanos not working with accessories that accommodate the first gen.
    Best bet would be to contact the manufacturer.

  • Error in Mass process chain DP background job for Deinitialize version

    Hi,
    When I execute the process chain for DP background job to delete the planning area version, it gives error message
    "Process DP Background Processing, variant DELETE XXXXXXX has status Ended with errors (instance D973YTQRSF0FRPV5TCR28L"
    It is working well, when I tried the same manually with the same input parameters used in background job variant.
    What could be the cause for the background job problem.
    Thanks and regards

    Hi Datta,
    I am not deleting the planning version, I am using Macro in the DP background job to delete or make the key figure values to 0.

  • Report on process chains using SEM-BPS

    We are looking to develop a tool to:
    1. Monitor data loads at the process chain level
    2. Within in the same tool, enter error resolution /
       action steps for all failed loads
    3. Report out % of successful or failed loads, using the data captured by the tool.
    We have studied the BW Tables rspcchain, rspcchainattr, rspclogchain, rspcprocesslog, rspclogs, rseventchain and
    rspcchaint.
    We are considering the following options:
    1. Develop an ABAP report and allowing the process chain monitor to manually enter the error resolutions (Perhaps in a Z-Table)
    2. Create an InfoCube in BW using the above tables and then write a query, but we can not allow the user to enter error resolutions in the query.
    3. Create a transactional infocube in SEM-BPS using the above tables and use the input functionality of tansactional infocube to facilitate the error resolution report entry.
    Can anyone suggest any alternate solution, or has anyone encountered similar requirement on project?
    One more doubt to check: is there any way to create an infoobject with CHAR type to enter data with 1000 or more characters? Or is there any other alternative solution to it? The doubt is to take care of the text entry for the error resolution.
    Milind Vad

    Just some thoughts:
    Have you considered using document service in BW or even KM (Portal) technology rather than CHAR 1000+ fields? This would give you more flexibility also on the type of document.
    For loading there are monitors available (based on tables like RSMONMESS). If you are interested in loads only (and not other process types), maybe using information from the BW load monitor could be beneficial (like RSMONMESS) rather than the process chain stuff.
    Maybe it's even worth having an InfoObjekt with a resolution code that links to a document describing the resolution with a key and whenever there is a new solution available create a new key with a new document. That would be most beneficial for reporting (like how many times has this problem / resolution occurred and the like).

  • Infopackage loads 0 record in process chain as BG job not running correctly

    Hi Experts,
    I have scheduled a daily process chain for Purchasing.
    The infopackage in the process chain loads 0 records from R/3 and shows green status but data is available in R/3. Its a FULL update.
    But when I load the data manually the infopackage fetchs the record form R/3.
    When I checked the background job in R/3 that loaded 0 records, the job gets finished abruptly without fetchig any data.
    Please find the job log below:

    But the background job for the request when I run the infopackage manually calls a function BW_BTE_CALL_BW204010_E (BTE) and fetches the record from R/3.
    Please find the job log that fetches the record when run manually.

    Kindly help me on this issue as why the job run through process chain is not fetchibg any records.
    Regards,

    Hi Prasanth,
    If the background jobs are not availbale when IP is triggered then the BG job will ot be executed and the IDOCs will get struck.
    Once we push the IDOc only the BG job will be executed until then the PC will wait with yellow status.
    Hence this is not the issue with the non availability of BG WP.
    Also for last one week this issue was happening but today the job executed successfully through the Process chain itself.
    Then it shows this is not the issue with PC also.
    The job is executed using RFCUSR.
    Please suggest what would be the possible cause for this issue.

  • Error in Process Chain for DTP- Job not finished

    Hi Experts,
    We have an issue with one of our process chains. When we execute the chain manually, there is no problem. BUt if we schedule the chain, issues arise. the last part of the chain is DTP. But the job doesnt finished even if the DTP step si already green. Locks occur for the DTP and the infoobject. When we look at the job log in SM37, it is still active. But this should not take a long time, since if we execute it manually it is ok.
    Pleas help experts

    Guys, I am also facing the same issue.
    When DTP is completed successfully, it has the job log blow :

    The question is, why the program  RSBATCH_EXECUTE_PROZESS is not scheduled.  Is it because there is no free resource? Or poor response from SAP ECC?
    Finally what does "EXTRACTION OF DATAPACKAGE 000001" mean? Its not scheduled?

  • Trigger process chain using event

    Hi all,
    I’d like to know if someone ever faced this kind of situation.
    I have a process in R/3 and it must run every day, and when it’s finished I have to start a process chain in BW.
    I thought to do this using events. So, I created a Job that executes this process and added a step( an ABAP program ) that generates an event in a target system, BW.
    The program is this one:
    PARAMETERS:
        p_eventi   TYPE btceventid,
        p_eventp   TYPE btcevtparm,
        p_server   TYPE btcserver.
    Obligatory parameter: EventID.
    EventID should be an existing event already defined in transaction
    SM64 or using CREATE method of class CL_BATCH_EVENT:
    p_eventi   = 'SAP_TEST'.
    Optional parameters: event parameter and target server.
    p_eventp = 'Event parameter'.
    p_server    = ''.
      CALL METHOD cl_batch_event=>raise
        EXPORTING
          i_eventparm                    = p_eventp
          i_server                       = p_server
          i_eventid                      = p_eventi
        EXCEPTIONS
          excpt_raise_failed             = 1
          excpt_server_accepts_no_events = 2
          excpt_raise_forbidden          = 3
          excpt_unknown_event            = 4
          excpt_no_authority             = 5
          OTHERS                         = 6.
      CASE sy-subrc.
        WHEN 0.
          EXIT.
        WHEN 1 OR 2 OR 3.
    Raise failed.
        WHEN 4.
    Event does not exist.
        WHEN OTHERS.
    Raised failed due to unknown reason.
      ENDCASE.
    The execution of the job appears to be OK, but I checked the log at SM62 and couldn’t find any entrie, and the process chain didn’t start too.
    I created the event at BW and R/3 side,  informed the variant with event / server in R/3, etc.
    I’m missing some step??
    Best Regards,
    Tomas

    This is what this note does.  From R/3, it will trigger an event in BW.
