Implementing a custom process type for a process chain

I have created a custom process type for a process chain that allows a user to send back a failure or error status when calling an ABAP program. I copied the class that is used from the existing ABAP process type as a template.
The process type works fine, I just cannot find out how to recreate the documentation for my custom type using free text. When you maintain the process type there is a field for the documentation object, but I can't find where in SAP to implement this.
I have tried looking at the document maintenance using SE61 and looking into the class documentation from SE24 with no success. The only detail that is provided in the SAP help portal is:
"If necessary, assign a documentation type and a docu. object to the process type. The docu object can be called up via F1 in the process chain maintenance overview tree. "
Does anyone out there have any experience with this that can push me in the right direction?
Thanks,
Eddie

You can create and maintain system documentation from transaction SE61. This is how you would create documentation for a process type or if you wanted to create a book. <a href="http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/a4/d47df949e111d189730000e8322d00/frameset.htm">more info</a>
Here are the steps to make your documentation similar to that used for the ABAP process type:
From transaction SE61:
-Create a document of type TX (either from scratch or by copying RSPC_ABAP which is used for the SAP-delivered ABAP process type)
-Make any changes you need. I suggest downloading the document in ITF format and make the changes in a basic text editor and then uploading your changed document. It's a little easier to tell what is going on that way.
Now on to transaction RSPC.
Once you save your changes, go to RSPC and select on any chain you have to get into the "plan and check views of process chain maintenance." Then just go to Settings -> Maintain Process Types.
From here you can select your process type, select TX from the document type dropdown, and then enter the name of your document in the docu. object field.
Hope that helps.

Assign a server group as the background server for a process chain

Dear Experts,
Can I assign a server group as the background server for a process chain?
Even I assign a server group as the background server for a process chain by following T-cd: RSPC > W click a process chain > (Menu) Process Chain > Attributes > Background server and save & activate the process chain, no entry was saved in the column in RSPCCHAINATTR-SERVER with OBJVERS = "A".
Moreover, it seems that there is no process type for a process chain as a whole in T-cd: RSBATCH, so I assume that I may not be able to assign a server group to a process chain as a whole...
I know I can assign a server group as the background server for each process in a process chain.
Many thanks for your suggestions.

On many UNIX systems there's a utility called detach which will launch the following command in such a manner that killing the shell will not kill the process. On systems that lack this command, I'd find an open source implementation and install it.

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.

Siva.

At what scenario we go for copy process chain??

At what scenario we go for copy process chain??

Hi,
Letu2019s say you are doing regular monitoring of a process chain. One fine day this process chain gets failed due to some reason on one of steps. And say there are 10 more steps still to be executed.
You fixed the error by performing some manual activity which was actually next steps of process chain where it failed.
Now you can not do repeat/repair in process chain because you have already performed them but you want remaining steps to be executed automatically not manually.
What you can do is copy chain with only required steps in it remove remaining steps.

How to search for a process chain in RSPC ?

Hi,
Is there any way that i can find a process chain by giving the name of the variant.
I know that i can click on the DTP and from there i can go to the process chain if i know the DTP.
But here my problem is that i have a program which is calling a process chain now i what to what this process chain is doing.
Is there any way to find it?
Thanks in advance.
Reagrds,
Raghu

Hi Surendra,
Thanks for the inputs. Thanks for sharing some useful table names.
But this haven't solved my issue.
I have the below mentioned code in a program.
CALL FUNCTION 'RSPC_CHAIN_START'
       EXPORTING
         I_CHAIN             = 'YPC_VARIANT_FOODS'
       I_T_VARIABLES       =
       I_SYNCHRONOUS       =
       I_SIMULATE          =
       I_NOPLAN            =
      IMPORTING
        E_LOGID             = LOGID.
Now i want to see the Process chain ( 'YPC_VARIANT_FOODS' ) in RSPC.
Actually 'YPC_VARIANT_FOODS' is a variant.
Any way to achieve this?
Thanks,
Raghu

Procedures for implementing a snapshot scenario with custom DataSources

Hi Gurus,
I have checked the How To paper ([How to Handle Inventory Management Scenarios in BW (NW2004)|http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/index?rid=/library/uuid/f83be790-0201-0010-4fb0-98bd7c01e328]). However, only SAP standard BW objects are mentioned in the paper e.g. InfoCube (0IC_C03), Material Stock InfoSource (2LIS_03_BX), Material movements IS (2LIS_03_BF) and Revaluations IS (0LIS_03_UM).
On the contrary, I need to handle custom DataSources for the Snapshot scenario. Are there any differences in the implementation methodology? Which additional aspects should I take into consideration? For example, the load sequence, delta type, etc.
Could you please list out the step-by-step procedures for such an implementation?
Thanks in advance!
Regards,
Meng

Hi Meng,
You can approach this in two ways.
1) If the volume of data is not much, you can derive the balance at query level, as follows.
User enters the date, based on this restrict your key figure to display all values less than this date.
2) If the volume of data is high, then you will have issues with performance if you are calculating the balance in the front end. In this case, you can model this with 'Non cumulative' key figure. Again there are 2 ways of approaching this back end solution based on the volume of data. ( Say in one case you have 2 years of history in your DSO and in the second case, you have 5 years of history ).
A) For example, If there are only 2 years of history
Create a non cumulative Key figure 'ZBALANCE' with inflow and outflow, in a cube.
Map this to your credit and debit as + and - respectively and map the calender day to posting date.
Just initialise the dataload with data transfer and start loading the delta as normal.
You will be able to see the balances for each and every calday in your reporting.
This approach is straight forward and simple.
Compress the cube for getting the better performance.
B) If there are 5 years of history and you are not interested in loading all the 5 years data in getting the balance
Here you want to have the initial balance, continue delta and would like to load 2 years of history.
The cube and non cumulative KF are created as mentioned above.
For generating initial balance, you have to create another DSO without calander day and ZBalance mapped to credits and debits in additive mode. Load your DSO data into this new DSO to generate initial balance. This balance will be loaded to your cube as initial balance. ( Like 2LIS_03_BX ).
You have to compress this request with marker update ( Must ).
Load your historical data for 2 years from the original DSO. Compress without marker update ( Must ).
initialise without data transfer from DSO to cube and load deltas normally.
Compress the delta requests normally for performance reasons.
Please read the 'Inventory document' in detail.
Please let me know, if any of the information is still not clear.
Thanks,
Krishnan

Running time for group process chain

Hello Gurus,
in our system, a group process chain includes a lot of process chains, after the whole group process chain runs through , how can I check how long it takes for the whole group process run?
Many thanks.

Hi,
right click on start process of your meta chain..
there you can find the start time of your meta chain.take that as A.
go to last process of the chain and right click and take that time as B.
The difference between the two times is your total meta chain runtime.
hope this is clear for you.

Steps for Creating Process chain!

Hi All,
I want to create process chain which can schedule IP and run the concern job to fill infocubes/ODS?Can someone please guide me stepwise how to proceed.Some sort of doc will eb appreciated.

Hi,
   You can either create a process chain directly in the process chain maintenance screen, or by using a maintenance dialog for a process
Creating a Process Chain Directly in the Process Chain Maintenance Screen
In the BW Administrator Workbench
1.      Choose the Process Chain Maintenance icon from the AWB toolbar.
2.      Choose Create.
3.      Enter the technical name and a description of the chain, and confirm your entry.
   4.      Create a variant for a start process.
       On the Maintain Start Process screen, choose whether you want to schedule the chain directly or whether you want to start it using a metachain.
       If you choose to schedule the chain directly, enter the start date value for a chain under Change Selections and save your entries.
       Save your entries, go back to the previous screen and confirm your entries in the Add Start Process dialog box.
The Plan View of the process chain maintenance screen appears.
In the left-hand area of the screen, a navigation area is displayed. In the right-hand area of the screen, the process chain is displayed.
       5.      Use Drag&Drop or double-click to add the relevant processes to your process chain.
Choose Process Types to select the processes. This sorts the process types according to different categories. You can also call up InfoPackages and processes for the data target from the separate InfoSources and Data Targets navigation trees.
               If you insert a process into the chain that is linked to additional processes by default, the respective process variants are generated and automatically inserted into the process chain. These variants are suggestions and can be changed, replaced or removed from the chain as required. Variant maintenance is called when the change run performs automatic insert.
a.       On the Maintain Start Process screen, choose whether you want to schedule the chain directly or whether you want to start it using a metachain.
b.       If you choose to schedule the chain directly, enter the start date value for the chain under Change Selections and save your entries.
The Maintain Start Process screen appears again.
c.       Save your entries, go back to the previous screen and confirm your entries in the Add Start Process dialog box.
The Plan View of the process chain maintenance screen appears.
               The various process categories, the application processes, and collection processes are displayed in the left-hand area of the screen. In the right-hand area of the screen, the process chain is displayed.
                  If the process that you used to create a chain is linked to additional processes by default, the respective process variants are generated and inserted into the process chain automatically. These variants are suggestions and can be changed, replaced or removed from the chain as required. Variant maintenance is called when the change run performs automatic insert.
                  Choose Process Types to select the processes. This sorts the process types according to different categories. You can also call up InfoPackages and processes for the data target from the separate InfoSources and   Data Targets navigation trees.
        When you add a process, you need to select a process variant or create a new variant. For collection processes, the system uniquely determines the variants.
        Various functions for editing the process are available from the context menu
Maintain variants With the exception of the variants in the collection processes OR and EXOR, you can use this function to change all process variants.
Exchange variants
You can exchange the variants for an existing variant or a variant that is to be created.
    You can use this function to link a process to a successor process. You can choose from the processes that are not yet linked to the current process. They are grouped according to process type in submenus.
      Display scheduled jobs
Once the process chain is active, you can use this function to display the jobs that have been scheduled.
       After at least one process chain run, you can display all of the scheduled jobs for a specific process and all of the jobs with which this process was run. The Job Overview appears and you can call the relevant job log.
Create message
    You can also send messages to an application process of the chain, depending on the success or failure of the process.
1.       To do this, using the context menu for a process, create another process variant of type Send Message.
2.       If you maintain a message, first specify whether you want the message to be sent when the process has been completed successfully or unsuccessfully. Then choose Next.
3.       A dialog box appears, in which you can select an existing process variant or create a new one.
4.       If you create a new process variant, edit the document that is going to be sent and maintain a list of recipients.
5.       Save your process variant and go back.
The message process variant is now assigned to your application process. When the message is sent, the status information and the process log are also sent.
Only use this function to debug a process run.
Specify how long (in seconds) you want the delay to be between one event being triggered and the next process starting.
You can capture the process in the debugger by using transaction SM37 (Job Overview) or SM50 (Process Overview).
Remove process
You use this function to remove a process from a process chain.
Manage data target
You use this function to call the data target administration for the following types of process variants:
         Construct index
         Delete index
         Construct database statistics
         Roll up filled aggregates
         Compress InfoCube
         Activate DataStore object data
       7.      Hold down the left mouse button to connect the processes with events.
Before you do this, select the process underneath the process type row, and position the cursor over the required process. When you select the process type row, the whole process is moved into the plan view.
From the context menu of a link, you can display the event or remove the link. To do this, select the link and right-click with the mouse.
       8.      If necessary, specify whether you want the event to be triggered after the previous process has been completed successfully or unsuccessfully, or whether you want the event to be triggered independently of the outcome of the process that precedes it. If the process that triggers the event has more than one option, choose the option after which the successor process is to be run
       9.      Assign a display component to the process chain using Attributes
     10.      Maintain additional process chain attributes if necessary.
     11.      Check your process chain in the Check View and make any necessary corrections.
The Legend explains the meaning of the different colors used to display the processes and links.
From the context menu for a process, you can display the messages resulting from the check.
During the check, the system calculates the number of parallel processes according to the structure of the chain . The result is compared with the number of background processes on the chosen server (or the total of all available servers if no server is specified in the attributes of the process chain). If the number of parallel processes is greater than the number of available background processes, the system highlights every level of the process chain where the number of processes is too high. The system produces a warning for these levels.
   12.      Save your process chain if it does not contain any errors.
You can activate and schedule your process chain. After scheduling, the chain starts in accordance with the start process selections. For example, if you scheduled the start process directly and chose Immediately as the start date value, the chain run starts immediately after scheduling. In the Log View, you can display the reports for the chain runs.

Hi Park,
From what you describe I am assuming that the you had a BW Process Chain running from CPS and then decided to kill it. This autoamtically created a child job that's supposed to stop the Process Chan in SAP that should have, once complete, updated the parent job from it's 'Killing' status to 'Killed'. Now you find that the BW Process Chain in SAP is/was stopped, the CPS child job has also completed and yet your Process Chain job in CPS still has a 'killing' status. Because it is stuck in this status you cannot do anything with it, i.e. none of the scheduling options in the Redwood Explorer are active.
Assuming the above interpretation is correct then you probably have only one option and that is to force an update in the Repository itself. I also assume you're using either v6.x or v7.x.
To confirm the status of the current job in preparation for the update you can do the following query in the Redwood Shell when logged in as SYSJCS:
select status from rws_job$ where job# = <the job number of the job currently in a 'killing' status>;
This should return 1 row and the value for status should be 'G'.
To update the status you can use the following command from the Redwood Shell when logged in as SYSJCS:
update rws_job$ set status = 'K' where job# = <the job number of the job currently in a 'killing' status>;
To confirm your update was successful before finally committing use the first query again..
select status from rws_job$ where job# = <the job number of the job which previously was in a 'killing' status>;
This should return 1 row and the value for status should be 'K'.
You can now commit the change or rollback if you've made a mistake
commit;
Normally it is not recommended that CPS users modify any of the underlying tables so you may want to check with support that they are ok with you executing this command.
You may also want to check that you have the latest Service Pack for CPS as this may mitigate this kind of issue from appearing again.

Can you please provide the solution for creating process chain..

Hi Experts,
i need to work on this process chain PC_UN_HR_SAP_PM_TD01, i need to add one more step before DSO load that means delete existing data from DSO
please let u know as soon as possible.

Hi Kavya,
Here you can use proces type: 'Complete deletion of data target content' from Data target administration node.
Here in this process type you need to specify the target of which data to be deleted.
PFB links which specify the creation of Process Chains. You 'll get enough idea from these to modify the existing process chain.

Sampying procedure for in-process insp

Hi, need to check all the parts produced in shop floor, meaning if prod order qty is 100, we need to inspect all 100 parts (03 inspection type). please advise in this case which samplying procedure should be used / created.

Hi,
IN inprocess sampling you can keep 100% inspection in sampling procedure,
But for inprocess their is no sample deduction happen or no movement happen.
So simply put 100 % inspation in sampling procedure.

Step by step procedure for implementing User auditing in Solaris 10

we have no.of users who use either SSH terminals and Java Desktop Environment through Xbrowser through network.
We would like to know what are all the files being accessed by logged in users and what are all the changes being done, if any....
Earlier, we have enabled "script" command to get invoked automatically in ~/.bash_profile. At this stage, users are not able to get Java Desktop through xbrowser. Hence, dropped this option.
Please suggest to get rid of this script problem or some better solution through Audit logging.

In my experience, its very rare for people to write step-by-step lists here, this is a forum which is excellent for general questions and technical problems, but, since most people who answer posts here do it in their spare time, its rare with detailed instructions of things which is rather well documented in the manual..
