Use of Process type Attribute Change Run and Rollup in Process Chaning

Hi SAP Gurus,
I have a doubt about the use of process types Attribute Change Run and Roll up in PC
If any1 can clear my doubts it would be helpful
if possible if any1 can tell me about the list of process types available in Process Chains it would be helpful
Thanks in advance

Change run process is used to re-activate the Attributes after changes
Roll up process is used to refresh a target (example : aggregates) after new data are uploaded into a Cube

Process chain hangs when reaching AND process before Attribute Change Run

Hi Experts,
I have the following problem. For some reason my master data attribute process chain hangs when it reaches the AND process variant right before the Attribute Change Run. It does not go anywhere from that point.
Thank you

hi AG,
if this is hanging daily at the same place without proceeding further, and with out giving the instance for the same. then the better way is to replace that AND process in the chain with the new AND process. and then check and activate ur chain. this wil solve ur problem.
if this is the first time that happend to u, then check the previous load status, if any of the load has failed and u didnt turned the status of the process then also this can happen. So please do check it and act accordingly. If u cannt find the resolution then please run ur changerun manually.
u can use RSPC_PRCESS_FINISH FM to convert the status of any process. for this u need to give instance and variant details. and then if u execute, then chain will continue further.
Hope this will help you.
thanks

Attribute change run process type failed with short dump

Hi all,
In the process chain Attribute change run process type failed with short dump. I checked the locks in SM12 but there are no locks associated. I checked in the attribute change run screen through RSA1 -> infoobject list but there are no infoobjects there. I think the ACR was completed successfully, still the process type in the PC was in red colour. What to do and let me know what happened here.
Thanks,
Jack

1. This kind of scenario is extremely rare but it happens sometimes. It might be the case that 2 attribute change runs are running at the same time.
2. Same IO is being used in Differnet PC and getting activated.
I think if this frequently occurs you need to check at the time of locking all running jobs and see whether anywhere else or simultaneously 2 ACR are running.
Please do close the thread if that answers your questions. Please help us keep the forums clean and open useful information only.
For more information search on help.sap.com and you will get lots of material.

Attribute change Run Failed/Scheduled

Hello All,
For a process Chain Attribute Change Run has failed in BW 3.5,and I Repeated the Change Run in Chain only
where Repeat option is ,now the problem is in RSA1 it is now that change run is scheduled
and sm37 it is showing that Canceled.
Now there is Other Process Chain in BI7.0 which picks data from 3.5
Should I repeat the Master data Chain in BW 3.5 followed by in BI 7.0
Or any other way is possible as in BI7 the chain has run successfully..
Thanks,
Kiran

Hi Kiran.......
BI 7.0 and BW 3.5............totally two seperate systems..............here BW 3.5 is just act as a source system of BI 7.0.............if change run fails in BW3.5...............it is not going to effect BI 7.0.............
As ajeet already said............it will effect the SID s in 3.5.............because attribute change run activates the master data...........and SID get generated during the activation of master data.......
Also it will effect the aggregates............because aggregates also get adjusted during change run.......if any of the aggregates contains the master data.........which are getting activated in the change run....
Now u r saying........that in SM37 it is showing that the job got cancelled............So it will not locked the master data..............terminated change runs generally lock the master data............then we hav to repeat the chain run to release the lock.........and u hav already repeated the change run............so no issue........
Hope this helps..........

IO and Attribute Change Run

Hi experts,
i have IO and i am not sure if this IO is a part of Process Chain ( Attribute Change Run).
Could i find out it ( something as Where-Used-list over IO) ?
I don't want to "open" ALL process chains and find "my" IO.
Thanks in advance
Martin

Hi Martin,
Check if table RSPCVARIANT helps.
In type enter - ATTRIBCHAN
In field name -INFOOBJECT
In the low option field - key in your infoobject name.
This will give you all the attribute change run variants in the system using this infoobject.
Nex you could go to any chain, go to change mode, go to process types, double click on chage run - select the variant from the list you obtain above, while you try to insert this variant , system will display a message in the popup, that the variant has been used in other chains, do you want to display the other chain. If you say yes, you will see the other chain.
Hope this helps,

Attribute Change Run in Procee chain.

I am trying to create a process chain for loading employee master data. I have three datasources populating this data.
So in the process chain I have to add the Change Run process type only after loading data from all datasources right ?
what is the process type 'Attribute Change Run' useful for anyway ?

You are correct. If the loads to the employee Master Data Attributes are done serially, then you can end it with the 'Attribute Change Run' variant. If the loads to the employee Master Data Attributes are done in parallel, then you can have all three InfoPackages flow into an 'AND' variant and then have the 'Attribute Change Run' variant.
The 'Attribute Change Run' in effect activates the Master Data Attributes, much like the activation process of activation of a DSO. The way it does it technically behind the scenes, however, is different.

Attribute Change Run Process

Dear All,
I have scheduled a Process Chain Run in BI7. All the Process has run successfully. But there is some problem with the Attribute Change Run.
At the start of the Process Chain all the colors of Process was green and gradually all the Successful process is turning from Green to Normal Color,but in the attribute process change run the Green color is not yet gone. So i am not getting any idea if my attribute change run has run successful or it is still running?
Plz help

Hi Anup,
What is the status of the attribute change run for your infoobject? whether it is successful?
If it successful then no issues. The attribute change run happened.
coming to process chain. there might be some problem in updating the process chain coloring.
Dont worry about the process chain coloring just chk whether the described job is completed or not.
orelse chck in SM37(background jobs) so that you can know whether the process event attribute change run happened or not?

Master data attribute change run error

hi all,
plz tell me the procedure to overcome the masterdata attribute change run error.plz explain me with steps clearly
thanks in advance,
jack

Hi Jack,
The process of Attribute change run is just the activation of the Master data same as DSO's.
In RSA1>tools>Apply Hierarchy/Attribute change run(CRTL+F9). You can check your object for which the attribute change run has to be applied through the infoobject list.
Then execute. now the attribute change run is completed.
Please ensure the infoobject is activated.
Provide us the error message to give you more details.

Ravi

Hi i have 50 infoobjects as part of my aggregates and in that 10 infoobjects have received changes in masterdata.so in my process chain the Attribute change run in running for a long time.can i kill the job and repeat the same.

Hi,
I believe this would be your Prod system, so don't just cancel it but look at the job log. If it is still processing then don't kill it and wait for the change run to complete but if you can see that nothing is happening and it is stuck for a long time then you can go ahead and cancel it.
But please be sure, as these kind of jobs can create problems if you cancel them in the middle of a job.

ABAP program to add in the process chain before the attribute change run

Hi
I need a ABAP program to add in the process chain before the attribute change run(process) to avoid the locks, can any one send me the program
Regards,
Satish

I am not sure of any standard program .... but you can write your own... should be a small one..
you can check if the table RSDMDENQ has entry for your InfoObject... if yes, then its locked.. if not.. its not locked

Regarding attribute change runs in process chains

Hi All,
While creating process chain for master data objects. I am trying to incorporate attribute change run process type for an info object. But the system asks for the DTP of the attribute and when i choose the DTP then both DTP and then Attribute are being incorporated. This is not exactly a problem but i need to understand why it is happening as i am already using that DTP to load data. Will this affect the data in master data object?. Thanks in advance.
regards
satish

Hi Bhagyarekha,
The reason behind that error could be:
An attempt is made to activate a characteristic whose compounding was replaced and whose navigation attributes were simultaneously deleted. The replacement of the compounding temporarily deletes the M view of the characteristic during internal activation. The process of deleting navigation attributes involves converting the attribute SID tables. However, the M-view of the characteristic, which has just been deleted, is needed for this conversion.
Check this SAP Note:
Note 684405 - Replacing the compounding and deleting navigation attr.
Hope it helps.

Process chain best practice - attribute change runs

When building attribute change runs into Process Chains I see that there are potentially two main options to consider:
1. One to One mapping. Incorporate a separate attribute change run object type after each InfoObject has been loaded.
2. Many to One mapping. Build the process chain so that one single attribute change run occurs after all the InfoObjects have been loaded.
I would be interested to see how other people have incorporated their attribute loading into Process Chains.
any info appreciated.
Mike

We run the attribute change run twice in our daily process chain, here's our order:
- Load all master data
- Attrib change run
- Load all tx data
- Run ABAP programs that generate master data
- Attrib change run
I doubt there will be much of a performance difference if you do the change run after each master data load, but it makes the process chain a lot easier to read.

Error in process chain with attribute change runs

We have one warning is coming in one process chain :A type "Attribute Change Run" process cannot precede process "Execute InfoPackage"
We checked the Process View , we found that there are number of attribute change run after each scheduling of Info package with different datasource but for same data target.
How to remove this warning .
Some onsite person has added this extra Attribute Change Run recently.

Hi Surendra,
If it is the same Info-object that is getting loaded through different Info-packages then have only 1 "Attribute Change Run" process at the end. You can ignore the warning.
Bye
