PROCESS CHAIN and flat file

hi xperts,
I tried to load the flat file to ODS in the process chain.
I got this error:
An upload from the client workstation in the background is not possible
,can anybody tell me how to solve this error.What are the proper settings for loading a flat file in process chains.

Hi,
in the process chain at the background, u cannot load the data using the option Client Workstation instead you would need to select the option Application Server and then save it , go to the schedule tab of the IP scheduler and then click on the start button and then go to monitor screen, u willt hen see the records being extracted.
1. change the option to Application Server
2. Save
3. under schedule tab in Infopackage scheduler , select "Start to load data immediately" and then click on Start button.
4. after u see "Data was requested" at the status bar of the Infopackage scheduler then you click on Monitor icon and see the records being extracted.
Do let me know if it was successfull or not.

Beginner Process chains on flat files

Hi,
I have 6 ODSes which I load from 5 different flat files located on my desktop on a daily basis and a 6th file which I load once per week. All 7 files are then pushed to a cube before reporting can be done.
Being the first timer on creating process chain, do you have any straight forward steps to guide me?
Is the fact that the files are on a local machine a problem?
Any hints on making it perform well will be appreciated.
Thanks

Hi Amanda Baah
In general in AL11 system wont allow you to place thats way u need to place it in the servel location Via TELNET ..
Ask your BASIS guy they will help you...
Hope itz clear a little atleast...!

Error while creating process chain for flat file loading

Hi All,
I had Created a process Chain to load Transactiion data(Full load) form flat file which is in my computer.
start>Load>DTP>DeleteIndex>DTP loading CUBE--> Create Index
but the system is throwing an error as "An upload from the client workstation in the background is not possible."
I dont know why this error is coming?
Can some one help me
Regards
Mamta

Hi Mamta,
Basically if you want to load the DS through FF using process chain, the FF has to be placed in Application server. We cant load the FF when it is located in the client local workstation(FF On your PC).
So better you remove the Infopackage step from the PC. Load the IP manually. Once it is completed you can start the process chain with the following steps:
start>DTP>DeleteIndex>DTP loading CUBE> Create Index
Hope it is clear & helpful!

How to create process chains,and how to use process like and or xor

Hi,
How to create process chains,and how to use process like and or xor.
can any one please give me a example in each.
Thanks,
cheta.

Hi Cheta,
Here is step by step procedure to create process chains
Process chain is nothing but executing a process ..(or) loading the data any process we can do in background.. that means.. automatically we can execute our process based on Time or any event..
Creating Process Chains
Prerequisites
If you want to include a load process in the process chain, you need to have already created an InfoPackage.
You cannot load flat file data from a client workstation in the background. For this reason, you have stored your data on an application server.
Creating Process Chains
You have the option of creating a process chain in the process chain maintenance screen directly or by using a maintenance dialog for a process:
Creating a Process Chain Directly in the Process Chain Maintenance Screen
You are in the BW Administrator Workbench.
1. Click on the Process Chain Maintenance icon in the AWB toolbar.
The Process Chain Selection dialog window appears.
2. Choose Create.
3. Enter the technical name and a description of the chain, and confirm your entry.
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.
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 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.
Hope this helps

SQL Server Source and Flat File Target in OWB

Hello All,
I have a question, is it possible to have SQL Server as Source and Flat File as Target without using any intermediate Oracle table(s).
like
SQL Server --> ETL Operators --> Flat file?
as i m getting errors in data type conversions here. but if i replace flat file with Oracle table it works fine. (though i have used some conversion functions for data types as well in Flat file loading but it is giving me errors)
Thanks in advance.
Tayyeb

Yes this should be fine. Are you using the gateway to access SQLServer or code template mappings? You need to track which columns are throwing the data type conversion errors.
Cheers

Process Chain and CPS

Hello all,
We are currently having a problem with submitting process chains. When the chain runs it does not display any of steps in the process chain and where they are running from the job we submit (RSI_START_BW_CHAIN) So what we see is that the PC has been submited and completes in say 17seconds...however everything is still running on the system...for example our CIF PC runs for 3hrs but alls we are able to see is that the job executed from CPS with no problem. I've been digging around trying to find clear documenation about PC and CPS with little luck. Am I approaching the job submission incorrectly? We are on 7.0.3.

Hello,
You should be using the RSI_RUN_BW_CHAIN job to start process chains. Maybe you can try that first. For the rest things should be straight forward. Depending on the BW backend systems you might encounter some issues, with BW 7 the synchronization has changed and you would be better of using one of the latest 7.0.4 versions (SP6 has just been released).

Process Chain and Info Package Transportation?

Hello All
Case 1
How to transport a Process chain and a Info Package Individually?(first time from DEV to QA)
Case 2
I have 9(IP1 to IP9)infopackages and 3(P1 to P3) Process chains and in each Process chain I have 3 Info packages like IP1,IP2,IP3 in P1 and so on.,
Now is it necessary to transport Infopackages and Process chains individually or is it enough to transport Process chains only(If v transport Process chains will the Infopackages will also transport)then how to assign a request to each one?
What I mean is,all Infopackages are in $TMP(Package),and Process chain is also $TMP,Now is it necessary to change the package for Infopackages as well as Process chain and Tranport only PC,Iam confused here,can anyone help me out?
Many thanks
balaji

Hi Balaji,
If you have created new infopackages then you have to transport them. It is not necssary to transport the info-packages if you have them in the process chain but have not changed them.
Also you cannot transport any BW object with $ tmp package. Assign a package and then transport the objects.
The best way to transport the process chain is from the RSPC screen. Click the transport button there and collect all the objects and transport them.
Bye

Error in process chain - AND

Hi Experts,
I am facing problem in process chain execution in the AND node. The error is
This AND process is not waiting for event RSPROCESS, parameter 4941U4Q6QKIR8RFKMAZWYP5JB
I checked the log in ST22 but there is nothing , also no error msg in display msg or maintain variant.
is there any solution?

Hi Soniya.....
The problem is due to the successor process is not activated, again try to
activate the process chain and schedule it.........
As a work around.........if instance and variant is already generated........then continue the process chain using the program : RSPC_PROCESS_FINISH.......
otherwise copy the rest of the chain and execute............To do this open the chain using RSPC1>> in the top where we write tcode.........there write COPY.........Give a name to the new chain.....remove all the processes till AND process...........then create a new Start process..........make the start condition as immediate..........and schedule the chain...
Hope this helps......

URGENT:Process Chains And events Related

Hi All,
I have created a new process chain which is a normal ODS Process Chain.For that I started with the start Process and then created event in sm62 to trigger the start of process chain.Similarly,I have at the end of the process chain ,I have added 2 ABAP Programs ,one to mark the successful completion of process chain and another to mark the Error or Unsuccessful completion.For these programs,I maintaines Processvariants and here, we have utility Programs.So used the relevant utility program and created a program variant and Events ,One for successful completion of process chain and another to mark the Error or Unsuccessful completion.
But ,Now ,I find that when I trigger the eventin sm64,I find that the process chain is not being run.Is that any problem with the events I created.This is the first i am involved with creation of events in SM62.Can anyone help me in this regard.
Can anyone,tell me thatdo we need to do anything else apart from Creating events .Imean like assigning jobs and then Programs in the Step of that Job.
Please Kindly help me in this regard.It is very very urgent for me.Thank you.Points will be assigned.
Regards,
Samir

Hi,
I have tried in the same way you have said .I have maintained as after event and activated and scheduled.after that i triggered the event insm64.But still,I am not able to see the Load in RSMO.
I have just checked out in sm37.And found that some jobs have failed.I think this might be the reason for the Process chain to not run.
I am just pasting the error msg and solution.
Job BI_PROCESS_ABAP, waiting for event RSPROCESS 489W6WH6I7OHV7BL3N9909F7F, has no predecessor
Message no. RSPC003
Diagnosis
Although job BI_PROCESS_ABAP has been started by event RSPROCESS 489W6WH6I7OHV7BL3N9909F7F and is recognized in the process chain, the current run for this process has no job preceding it.
This is why the system was unable to determine a log ID, and the chain is broken.
System response
The job has been terminated.
Procedure
With the exception of the start process, each process must have a process that precedes it.
Then Another error for the another cancelled job is
Job BI_PROCESS_OR, waiting for event RSPROCESS 489WC2QYBC4AJSYILQ10TWABF, has no predecessor
Message no. RSPC003
Diagnosis
Although job BI_PROCESS_OR has been started by event RSPROCESS 489WC2QYBC4AJSYILQ10TWABF and is recognized in the process chain, the current run for this process has no job preceding it.
This is why the system was unable to determine a log ID, and the chain is broken.
System response
The job has been terminated.
Procedure
With the exception of the start process, each process must have a process that precedes it.
Please kindly help me if you understand the problem.

Generic and Flat file extraction

Hi experts
can any body send the Real time scenario for Generic and flat file extraction with examples.
Thanks and regrds,
satya

Hi,
Generic extraction is an extraction where you create a Generic DS and based upon this you would be extracting the data from R/3, which means you would have an source system to extract the generic data from the generic data source.
Flact file extraction is an extraction where you need not have to connect to source
system, in this case you source system would be PC, here you would be designing an infosource based up on the fields/columns of your flat file and mapping the corresponding the infoojects to it.. and update rules..
and you would be loading/extracting the data from the file as a source..
These two things are different in nature and usage..
Hope this helps..
assign points if useful..
cheers,
Pattan.

How to find deleted process chain and query

Hi All
Some body has deleted one process chain and one query from development system
how can i know who has deleted these?
is there any table where deleted process chain and queries will maintain????
Thanks & Regards,
Krishna
Edited by: krishnamurthy g on Sep 1, 2008 5:33 PM

Hi,
Usually its totally in tractable to find a deleted chain :
But you can try out with the following options:
1> T-code SLG2 .
2> T-code SLG1 - find out who was logged on to the system on that particular client at that time.
3> Try out the following tables in se16 :
RSPCLOGS --- Application Logs for the Process Chains
RSPCLOGCHAIN --- Cross-Table Log ID / Chain ID
RSPCCOMMANDLOG --- System Command Execution Logs (Process Chains) .
Hope it will be expedite.
Thax & Regards.

Hi bharat
I dont thin these objects are part of 3.0
check from SU03 weather these objects are present in 3.o box
In 7.0 they exist:

TO see weather these objects exist:
Go to Tools -> Administration ->User maintenance ->Information System -> Authorization objects -> Authorization objects by Complex Selection Criteria -> By Object Class. For the object class, enter either RS (for Business Information Warehouse objects)
OR

Process chains and event collectors

Hi All,
I need help in Process chains and event collectors.I joined in new project and this client using process chains and event collectors and they ask me to work on these areas.I didnt work on this as of now So please send any docs on this area and explain the procedure and technology methods behind this concept.I would really appreciate If someone can send me the full documentation on this concept as I couldnt find any any docs on this.
Thanks,
Ras

Hi Ras,
Process chains are a sequence of processes to be performed. The are put together in a chain with the necessary dependancies (process A needs to finish before B can start) and conditions (if A and B are successful then C else send an email), and then scheduled. They usually revolve around processes related to data loading: Load, activate, roll up, compress etc.
Please take a look at this links/threads for more info:
