Process chain automate trigger

Hi friends,
i have one process chain , it contains around 10 process types. in third process i got fail, for example ods activation failure, then i activated manually . but from next process onwards it should trigger automatically how it is? there is any function module programmme or no? if it is there what is that
thanks in advance
regards
manoj

Hi
IF activation of ODS fails,You need to do it manually..You won't get repeat option..
Please have a look at the below url

Schedule the Process Chain automatically in BW

Hi SDN Guru's,
I have an urgent requirement in BW. I want to run the Process Chain automatically in BW when the job for the deltas in R/3 are completed.
I know that in BW we can trigger the process chain by the background job only by giving the date and time or after the event and after the job.
But my requirement is the process chain should automatically be triggered in BW once the R/3 delta job is run and completed and the delta records are updated in RSA7.
Can any body please let me know how we can do this as this is the urgent requirement for me.
Please let me know how and where we need to write the code or make the settings for satisfying my requirement.
Thanks & Regards,
Vamshi Krishna.

HI Vamshi:
Take a look at note 409239.
Thanks for any points you choose to assign (points are the way of saying "thanks" in SDN)

Started same Process Chain automatically several times

Hi BW Experts,
could you help me, please?
I don't know, how I started the same Process Chain automatically again.
I have a following easily process chain as a example:
1. Start Process
2. DTP
3. DSO Acitvated
I have the idea to insert the process 4. "Abap program" to start the function module "RSPC_API_START_CHAIN" again. But their are any problems......
Have you another idea?
Thank you and regards.
Volker

Hi,
Are u sing the Direct DTP or the normal DTP's?
If u are using the normal DTP then u need change the process in ur PC..
Start Process
Infopackge load till PSA
DTP to load data to DSO
Activation of DSO
... U can also add the ABAP process as per requirement .. there wont be any issues in that..
thanks

Process chain to trigger automatically after file arrives in AL11.

Hi All,
There is a text file(.txt) which comes from mainframes team every Sunday between 11 AM to 6 PM and gets placed in AL11 inbound directory following which we manually trigger a process chain which uses this file.
The requirement is that this chain should trigger automatically after the file arrives in AL11 in BW.
Is it necessary for the mainframe team to send another control file or some other file in addition to the text file to trigger this process chain..?
Is there any other way the process chain can be triggered in BW without any changes required from the mainframe team.
Additional information:
Also I came to know that this can happen through some system command statements using SM49 we can schedule this chain.
Else can some ABAP Program code be used to make this process automatic?
Please help me.

Hi,
You can do the following, in your process chain change the start variant and make it event dependent. Now you can do the following,
1) Create a table in SE11 which will have fields like Process chain name and execution date as primary fields. This table will be used further for checking purpose.
2) Now create a ABAP program as shown in below given article, in this program in addition to raising an event you will have to read the file from app server.
3) If program can read file from app server means you will raise an event and make entry in above table for preventing further execution of process chain. If program can't read file from app server then program will simply end without doing anything.
4) Now you can schedule this program after every hour or 30 min. as per your requirement, the program will first check if the process chain execution entry exists in the above 'Z' table or not. If entry exists means the process chain has been already executed and the program will be terminated.
5) You can use FM to read data from app server. You need to be careful while placing file on app server, because it has to be different naming convention or something else to identify that the current day file is available.

How can we set a process chain to trigger the nodes w/o manual intervention

SDNers,
We have a Master PC which has the loading & activation of some Hierarchies.Wats happening is some of the hier activations are failing (we got track of the root cause as well) and the nodes below are not getting triggered automatically, eventhough they have been designed to get triggered irrespective of success or failure of this hierarchy activation. The chain prompts for the u2018Status change & trigger the following eventsu2019 opo-up and only when it was said u2018yesu2019, the subsequent node gets triggered in the chain. If this manual intervention was not there, the Chain gets struck at the activation node, whic is running in yellow status for long, though a short dump - error has already been thrown.
My query is how can we set a process chain not to anticipate the manual intervention of chnaging the status & trigger events pop-up

Hi ravi,
i'm not sure abt the query but what i got thru ur qustion is u have to automtaically go to the next load/step even the proceess chain fails in the step......
for that we have the same master meta chains with link of so many local chains...for this even if there are some interventions/fails in between the process chains it never gets stopped....
it goes to the next step and we'll work, analyse and finish the failed load manually....the next day it'll be
fine...
b4 to this make sure that there is no dependency for the previous loads....
And now the solution i found for this is in the process chain design itself.......
while giving the links itself we'll be getting the options as status RED,GREEN and RED(or)GREEN.....now if u got for the third option the event goes to the next step even it is unsuceesful....
rgds,

How repeat a process step in a process chain automatically after error?

Hello guys.
Have some method to repeat automatically a process in a process chain after a error occur ?
Now, we need to make a manual procedure for repeat the process... We need make it more "fast", one "auto repeat" when failing.

Hi Leo,
Auto repeat of a process chain is always not ad visible as in most of the cases we can see the job got finished in SM37 and even spool got generated but unfortunately it will fail if any of the data package is wrong.In these cases we can skip the process chain and make it continue.
I have written a blog on the same.please go through it.i feel for those scenarios it is good.
How to override a process block in the process chain and make it force complete ?
My personal advice is to go and check the job log before repeating any process as the job may fail for n no of cases.it is a complex challenge of adding all those errors tracked.

Start BW process chain automatically after FPBW or FPCIBW is finished

Dear SAP Experts,
we would lilke to setup our process chains in BW, so they start automatically, after FI-CA mass activities (PFBW or FPCIBW) are finished in source system IS-U.
In fact, I know the process behind this, according to SAP note 135637, so
(1) Create an event in the BW system
(2) Create a function module in the BW system
(3) Create an ABAP/4 report in the R/3 System
As we have more process chains in BW, one for FI-CA open items, second for closed items, another one for sales statistics, I suppose there are different events in source system for every type of job as well, so when FPBW is finished, FPCIBW, when sales statistics processing is finished in source system etc..
My question is, which event is triggered after the job in IS-U (FPBW, FPCIBW) is finished?
Btw, I found implementation of function module FKJO_EVENT_1905, where I_ID LIKE DFK_JC_CNTR-ID was checked, but I don't know if this is for all jobs in source system, or only specific jobs..
Thanks and regards,
Peter

Everyday new records will be added into the excel sheets and we need to trigger all these files into the bw server through process chain automatically . As we have all these Excel files in the desktop.
Please suggest how to achieve this task?

Hi,
You cannot load flat files to BW automatically using process chains.
You have to upload them to Apllication server and point your Infopackage to the directory path of the flat file in application server. then process chains can load it.

Process chains trigger process

Hi,
I am using process chains to load the data and the respective processes after load. I scheduled the process chains to trigger every day. But our systems will be down for back up on a weekly basis.So is there any way I can stop this scheduled jobs all at once instead of going to each procee chian and removing the schedule every time we shut down the systems.
Appriciate if any one can help me on this.

I suggest to use the sapevt.exe.
With it you can trigger an event in the SAP system with the execution of a simple command file (.bat for ex.)
So the event will start the chain as you require.
You can find more info for sapevt in:

Reg:process chains could be started manually and automatically

Hello,
PC can be started both manually and automatically.
Every PC has a start variant, when you right click on the start variant and go in the edit option, select the option direct scheduling. Then in change selection, check the box immediate and keep the periodic job at the bottom unchecked.
Hit the tick, save on the other screen. And when back on the PC screen, from the menu option select the schedule option.
This will run the chain manually.
To run it automatically, follow the same procedure but instead of using immediate choose, data and time, provide date and time when you want to run, you can check periodic option if you want the chain to run daily, weekly or monthly.

Hi Naveen,
i think we use ABAP program under general services to generate an event.
searching form gave me following threads which might be helpfull
1) explains Evenet generation [Event raising procedure]
other helpfull threads
[Standard tools for Event raising]
[Event in Process Chain]
i could get the process for triggering it weekly,,,it may giv u some help in resolving
change the Start Process (1st process) in your Process Chain to trigger it to start after the event. To do this, maintain the Start Process of your Process Chain. Select "Direct Scheduling" and click the "Change Selections" icon. This will bring up a Start Time window. Click the "After Event" icon and enter your event name. Also, click the "Periodic Job" (this will insure that all the jobs created for each process in the Process Chain will reschedule themselves after executing the first time). Now save the Start Process, and reactivate and schedule the Process Chain.
To execute the Process Chain, use transaction SM64 to trigger the event.
If you want to trigger the event in batch, you will need to create an ABAP program that calls function module BP_EVENT_RAISE (sample ABAP code is available in this forum if you search for "BP_EVENT_RAISE").
We create batch jobs where we call an external program called SAPEVT, located on the server, and I believe is available on all SAP clients, with the following parameter:
EVTID('WEEKLY_PROCESS') SID(PU3) NUMBER(00) EVTPARM()
This will trigger the event WEEKLY_PROCESS.
See if this helps.

Automatic evaluation of yellow requests in process chains

Dear All,
I am running my load processes using process chains. I would like to monitor my process chains automatically using a custom program. Thus, I would like to stop any long running loads and proceed to the next load in that chain.
I am using the Function Module RSPC_PROCESS_FINISH to set the status of that particular request (or instance) to 'R' in the table RSPCPROCESSLOG. This then triggers the next step in that process chain but it does not terminate this particular loading... Therefore in the monitor for this loading, the traffic light would still be Yellow and I would like to change this Red.
Could you please suggest some function module or any way in which i can automate this?
The standard sap job SAP_CCMS_MONI_BATCH_DP (Note 708480) also suffices my requirement but there are some locking issue because of which other process chains and applications are affected.
Awaiting your suggestions...
Regards,
Amit

Hello Sunitha,
I am not clear of your requirement.
If you have to delete the Init load everytime then on the first place why do u want to do an Init.
Do a Full load instead and delete it everyday in the Process Chain or in the InfoPackage mark the checkbox for the same.
Using a Init u can Load the data once and can start the Delta load which will fetch the data from the day Init was done. This is done to avoid big loads everyday instead bring in the small data with only changed records.
Hope this helps

Automatically trigger the event to load data from Planning cube to Standard Cube

Hello,
We have a below set up in our system..
1. A Planning BEx query using which user makes certain entries and writes back data to the planning cube.
2. An actual reporting cube which gets data from the planning cube above.
Now, what we want to do is to automate the data load from Planning cube to Reporting cube.
This involves 2 things..
1. Change the setting " Change real time load behaviour " of the planing cube to Planning.
2. Trigger the DTP which loads data from Planning cube to reporting cube.
We want to automate the above two steps...
I have tried few things to achieve the same..
1. Created an event in SM64,
2. In the Planning cube "Manage" Screen, clicked on "Subsequent Processing" and provided the event details. ( Not sure if its the correct place to provide the event detail ).
3. Wrote a ABAP program which changes the setting of the planning cube ( " Change real time load behaviour " to Loading )
4. Created a process chain, where we have used the event as a start variant, used the ABAP program as a next step, DTP run as the last step..
This i hoped, would trigger the event as soon as a new request comes and sits in planning cube, which in turn would trigger the process chain which would load the data from Planning cube to reporting cube..
This is not working. I dont think the event is triggering, and even if does i am not sure whether it will start the process chain automatically. Any ideas please ?

hi,
try to do the transformation directly in the input cube by using CR of type exit, more details :

Process Chain timing

Hi Guys,
Can any one help me to schedule process chain to repeat at different time intervals in a day(At 12:00 and 17:05) every day.
Thanks

Hi,
In RSPC, select Date/Time and set Periodic jobs. Else you write small program in BW and raise event at At 12:00 and 17:05, i.e. schedule this program At 12:00 and 17:05 then automatically the Process chain will trigger.
Note: Create Event in SM62 and then use it in PC.
REPORT ZFM_EVT.
DATA: EVENTID LIKE TBTCJOB-EVENTID.
DATA: EVENTPARM LIKE TBTCJOB-EVENTPARM.
EVENTID = 'Z_TLB_ATTA'.
EVENTPARM = 'Z_TLB_ATTA'.
CALL FUNCTION 'RSSM_EVENT_RAISE'
EXPORTING
    I_EVENTID                    = EVENTID
    I_EVENTPARM                  = EVENTPARM
* EXCEPTIONS
*   BAD_EVENTID                  = 1
*   EVENTID_DOES_NOT_EXIST       = 2
*   EVENTID_MISSING              = 3
*   RAISE_FAILED                 = 4
*   OTHERS                       = 5
IF SY-SUBRC <> 0.

Further Processing Type In Process Chain

After adding the execute infopackage to process chain automatically DTP, Activate DSO and Furter Processing Variants come by with it .
Now, the data has to go to cube so Delete index etc will be added further, but do I need to have this further processing type or can I just delete it.
Whats it significance?

Hi
If you have given some job name in the infopackage schedule(background) statistically to track your job,then after completion of this job system doesn't know which process has to be run..so to connect between the next process we need to take this(further processing type) and give the name of the above job name in this process..
If you don't give the background job name statically..system creates a job with some name and it knows to identify the next process..
Hope it helps
Thanks
