Process Chain (0TCT_C21) Statistics - Why Process Type sometimes is blanku2026

I am looking at 0TCT_VC21. A process chain was run, it shows Process Type as Blank (which shows up Query as Not Assigned). Does that mean when process chain was run, it failed or so thatu2019 why process type is blank. I am also seeing frequency column shows result as negative...e, 3,000-. What does negative number mean? Appreciate any help.

Which process type is it showing blank. Did you difine the process properly?
After running what are the messages it showing for that perticuler process.

Email Alert for Process Chain for ABAP Process Type

Hi BW Experts,
                         I created a process chain based on ABAP Process Type ( for Broadcasting rsrd_broadcast_starter). I want to add alert message for each ABAP process if it is failed. But I cant see any option showing Successfull or Error or Always when I select create message option on the process type. How ever I can see for other process chain which is loading data (Process Type is Info Package ) from SAP into BW.
                         Please some one tell me why it is not showing alert message for ABAP Process Type.
Thanks
Ganesh Reddy.

I dont have the exact answer for your question, But as a work around i can suggest you that.
If these ABAP programs are included in a chain and this local chain is a part of meta chain then you can create a message on the local chain.By right clicking on the local chain >Create Message>Success
                                                                                --->Failure
>Always
Hope this resolves the problem tempervorly.I will get back to you once i have
Or the permanent solution is
Its big and also easy method to perform, by this you will be able to get all the options for a ABAP Program also.If you have any questions please let me know.

Process type in Process chain

HI all;
I want to cancel the process type if it takes let's say more than 2 hrs.; the reason is sometimes the rollup job don't finish and just hang it forever...until more than 12 hrs and we have to manually cancel the job in the morning when we come to the office. This is affecting the runstats job when we do after the process chain completes.
so, is there any set up that I can do to cancel the process types let's say rollup for a cube if this doesn't finish by 2 hrs automatically.
thank you.

Bhanu;
they are SEM cubes; and there are several situations sometimes the rollup gets stucks..; for example if some users do the planning in the same cube, or locks.,,etc..we tried to tell all the planner not to do any activities during the daily process chain time. we are doing rollup and compress every day for the sem cubes.

Sequence of process types in process chains

Hi all,
Can any one help me in listing down the sequence of process types we must have when we are using process chains. Like If I am loading data from R/3 to ODS and to cube then what all things should be included (creating indexex, deleting indexes..)and most importantly what sequence they should be in. ?
Also what are the types you need to include in master data load process chain, where does the change run fit in the process chain.?
Thanks alot in advance,

Hi KM,
The steps would be as follows:
1. Start Process
2. Load any master data - attributes.
3. Change run .
4. Text load.
5. Load the ODS.
6. Activation of ODS data.
7. Delete indexes of Cube.
8. Further processingof ODS data to Cube.
9. Create indexes.
10. Refresh Statistics.
The delete index can be after the "further processing step" also.
Bye

Using BPC Process Type Optimize in Process chain

Hi,
BW Process chain fails at BPC Process Type Optimize though Appset, Application, User field values are passed as below.
FIELD NAME        FIELD VALUE
SUSER                    XYZ
SAPPSET                CopyApshell
SAPP                      FINANCE
Please let me know if I am missing any parameters. Is there a better way of executing Optimize as part of process chain.
Thanks in advance.

What are process types in process chain

hi any one tell me what are process types in Process chains

Hi,
In the Plan View of the process chain maintenance screen.
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.
Use the drag-and-drop function to add the relevant processes into your process chain.
You use the Process Types function 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 into the chain a process that is linked to additional processes, 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 if required.
Only if the attribute realignment run is inserted automatically, do you also arrive at the variant maintenance screen.
If you want to specify yourself the processes that are to be included in a chain, choose Settings ® Default Chains, and select the Do Not Suggest Processes option. As a result, the system does not suggest, generate, or insert automatically any processes into the chain. This setting is user-specific.
If the chain that you create does not correspond to the standard, the system displays a warning. You can ignore these warnings if you are sure that you are creating a chain that meets your requirements. Warnings do not affect how the chain operates during runtime.
Your chain is checked in the checking view and during activation. The system tells you if it discovers any errors.
Creating a Process Chain Using the Maintenance Dialog for a Process
You are in the maintenance dialog of a process that you want to include in a process chain.
1. Choose the Process Chain Maintenance pushbutton and create a process variant.
2. Save the variant and go back to the previous screen.
A dialog window appears in which you enter a technical name and a description of the chain that you want to create.
3. Confirm your entries.
The Add Start Process dialog window appears.
4. Create a variant for a start process.
1. 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.
2. 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.
3. c. Save your entries, return to the previous screen and confirm your entries in the Add Start Process dialog window.
You are taken to the Plan View of the process chain maintenance screen.
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, 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 if required.
Only if the attribute realignment run is inserted automatically, do you also arrive at the variant maintenance screen.
If you want to specify yourself the processes that are to be included in a chain, choose Settings ® Default Chains, and select the Do Not Suggest Processes option. As a result, the system does not suggest, generate, or insert automatically any processes into the chain. This setting is user-specific.
If the chain that you create does not correspond to the standard, the system displays a warning. You can ignore these warnings if you are sure that you are creating a chain that meets your requirements. Warnings do not affect how the chain operates during runtime.
Your chain is checked in the checking view and during activation. The system tells you if it discovers any errors.
5. Use the drag-and-drop function to insert any additional relevant processes into your process chain.
You use the Process Types function 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.
Additional Steps to Creating a Process Chain
6. When you add a process, you need to select a process variant or create a new variant. For collection processes, the system determines the variants.
Various functions for working with the process are available from the context menu:
Context Menu Entry for a Process Function Information
Maintain Variants With the exception of the variants in the collection process, you can use this function to change all process variants.
Exchange Variants You can swap the variants for an existing variant or a new variant.
Display Scheduled Jobs Once the process chain is active, you can use this function to display the jobs that have been scheduled.
Display All Jobs After at least one run of the process chain, you can display, for a specific process, all of the scheduled jobs for this process and all of the jobs with which this process was run. You arrive at the job overview from where you call up 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. 1. From the context menu of a process, create an additional process variant of the Send Message type.
2. 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. 3. You arrive at a window, in which you can select an existing process variant or create a new one.
4. 4. If you create a new process variant, edit the document that is going to be sent, and maintain a list of recipients.
5. 5. Save your process variant and go back a step.
The message process variant is now assigned to your application process. When the message is sent, the status information and the process log can also be sent.
Wait Time
You use this function only 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 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 in connection with the following types of process variants
1. constructing indexes
2. deleting indexes
3. constructing database statistics
4. rolling up filled aggregates
5. compressing InfoCubes
6. activating ODS object data
to call up the administration for each of the data targets.
7. Hold down the left mouse button to connect the processes through 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 again. To do this, highlight 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.
9. Under Attributes ®Display Components assign a display component to the process chain.
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.
12. Save your process chain if it does not contain any errors.
Result
Your process chain can be activated. After activation, 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 activation. In the Log View, you can display the reports for the chain runs.
Hope it helps.

Amith

Process chains: error when including CVC generation process type

hello all !
I have a Pc that loads data from custom extractor into a Icube.
next triggers Generate Characteristic combination which never executes. Status remains active but no "completed succesfully" (yellow triangle) in monitor of pc.
When I run it alone the CVC generation process types executes OK...??!!!
My sequence is Delete Index from cube ---> Load IP --> Atribute change run ---> Create Index --> Delete overlapping request (up to hear loads oK although status never becomes green '??)
final step is a CVC generation + adjust time series process type.
Does any of you know why the error ? and how to help solving it out ?
appreciate all yur comments

Hi Samir,
I guess you can directly go to RSA1->Source Systems.Rt click and Transfer Global Settings then Delete the Red Request and Go to the Particular Process chain and do a Repeat/Repair.
You can try repairing it...
Rest of your question is not clear.... Give me ur number, will call you, then we will discuss

Getting Red Alerts at a particular process type in Process chain

Hi Experts,
In a Master data chain, We are getting 'RED' alerts in process type ''Delete Target Contents'' in which we have write optimized data.. But the data deletion of that DSO and rest processes are working fine, we can see the reports and all..but we dont understand that why this RED alert coming every day...
Suggest on it, if any one faced this problem..
Thanks..

Hi,
Yea i checked that message in which "DROP CUBE failed for the Target" but this is a Production system so we cant touch anything now because we getting the reports normally.. We want to look into the Alert with out any changes in current system..
Thanks,

What is the difference between Process Type TRIGGER AND CHAIN

What is the difference between these two process types. When I am looking process types, I want to provide information only about process chains and not individual steps of process chain. Looks like one can do using either.
Along the same line, I am looking at data from RSPCPROCESSLOG, no where this table has a column process chain id. So How od I find information about a process chain.
Thanks a lot,

A "Chain Process" can be a a step in a Process Chain as well. For Example: So you could have the following Process Chain:
Process Chain Example
Step 1. TRIGGER (Execute Daily at 4am)
Step 2. DTP_LOAD Execute DSO Load
Step 3. DTP_LOAD Execute InfoCube Load
Step 4. CHAIN Execute Master Data Process Chain
I believe the "Master Chain" is called a "MetaChain" since it controls the start of another Process Chain.
Hope that helps...

Process Type ABAP does not work properly via process chain

Dear SDNers
I am running a process chain and it contains process type ABAP program. ABAP program was running correctly till now via this process chain. ABAP program process type generally takes approximately 2 hours to run. But now, this process type for ABAP program just run for less than 1 minute and finishes successfully. The issue is that ABAP program does not run at all.
I ran the ABAP program in background and it took approximately 2 hours to run. ABAP Program is local means in our BW system and does not involve Remote Function call. We have BI7.0 system
Has some one came across this type of issue?
Best Regards
Pradip

Has the aleremote user or which ever user you have defined for background scheduling changed permissions recently?
What happens if you create an adhoc chain and include this ABAP variant, does it run then?
What does the log say in SM37 when run via process chain?
Cheers

List of all the process types used in the creation of process chains

Hi Gurus,
I am new to process chains creation, can any one give the list of all the process types used in the creation of process chains and there uses also.
Please search the forum before posting a thread
Edited by: Pravender on Jan 4, 2011 4:18 PM

Hi,
As process chain is to automate the data load step.
For Ex:- If you are loading data from R/3 to DSO CUBE.
Here you require Info package to load till PSA.
DTP to load till DSO
Another DTP to load Cube.
And all other process like psa deletion AND process you can find in RSPC tab.

Process type "Delete overlapping request in cube " in process chain

Hi
can somebody suggest me where i need to place the process type "Delete overlapping request" for an infocube.
Regards,

Hi,
When you use the corresponding process in the process
chain maintenance screens to specify the conditions for
automatic deletion, these conditions are applied to all
the InfoCubes for the selected InfoPackages
Overlapping: If you set this indicator, existing requests are also
delete from the InfoCube if the selection criteria of the new request partially or wholly overlap the selection criteria of the request to be deleted
Same or Comprehensive: If you set this indicator,
requests are only deleted from the InfoCube if
the selection conditions of the new request are
the same as or more comprehensive than the selection
conditions of the request to be deleted.
Thanks

Can any one tell me what each is for?
1. Last Customer Contact Update (Retraction)
2. Automatic Classification
3. DataStore Object-Replication
4.Master Data Update with Global Keys
5.Send POS Sales Data to XI System

Process Types in Process Chains - Loading - Repeatable/repairable

Hi,
I know SAP recommends that we do not change the properties of the Process Types for Process Chains. I want to know if any one has ever changed the property of "LOADING" process type to "repeatable" or "repairable". We are keen to change this attribute of "LOADING" process to repeatable. Any experiences, good or bad, would be highly useful to us to take a decision and would be highly appreciated.
regards
Uday

Hi Simon,
So far, I have not come across any documents that explain the difference between the two options. But, I believe the 'repairable" would start from where it has stopped in the program calles, while "repeatable" will restart the current job (not the whole process chain) from the start. Please remember to post it here, if you ever come across any documentation on these options.
