Process Chain Bug

Hello experts,
Perhaps this subject was already treated, I canu2019 find any answer in SDN, for this reason I am posting my question here.
I have an issue with a process chain, when I launch it, I see the job in transaction SM37, it is reported like finished.
When, I see the logs of the process chain in transaction RSPC, it is reported like always running (with yellow color...).
Few hours ago, When, I try to launch it a new time, I have a message (PC still running from last run)
How can I fix it please?
Many Thanks.
Best regards.
Amine

Hi ,
Probably your PC has been running since you launched. Right click on the step and look into Display Messages. You will come to know about the problem.
Please do not launch again and again till it gets completed.
Check if any RFC , Idocs problems are there with BASIS team.
If you feel the process complete internally, then you can make it to green manually. There are many threads which talk about this.......

Process chain status

dear all,
i have a loading variant which does seem to either turn GREEN or RED even though the loading is successful. It just a YELLOW status for a few days now and it is not happening to 1 variant but multiple around the process chian. Attach is a print screen, please click on the link to view.
Thank in advance for your reply. [Image of process chain.|http://content.screencast.com/users/SimonChia/folders/Jing/media/74473fe3-2b55-4021-8aaf-03072a77381b/2008-10-15_0754.png]

Hi
In the case of the DTP. It had triggered the next step when it failed. Because the next step. Then you repeated the failed DTP.
It got successful, gave a green trigger but remain yellow.
Yoa can say this a display problem or a bug in BI 7. Even though it is successful, it remains yellow in color.
In case of the IP. It has completed successfully and reported the status successful.
But I guess variant has not been generated for the next step.
If the variant is generated.
Then again it might be due to display.
If the varaint is not generated for the next step. try using the program
RSPC_PROCESS_FINISH
turn the status to red, and then again to green using the program.
if again the variant is not generated.
Run the below steps mannually.
Or copy the chain and run from the reaminig steps
Hope this helps

Send Message Process prompting for "Process Chain to Check"

Hi, When I insert a "Send Message" Process into my chain I do get prompted to select the message.
1. When I do a pull down I am getting prompted for "Process Chain to Check".
If I select my current process chain I get an abend.
2. When I click create instead of select I get brought to a table maint "Controls the execution of Process Chains". It has process chain, Start Date, Start time, and an inactive checkbox.
Any guesses why it's asking for "Process Chain to Check"?
What is this maintenence table I'm being brought to just to create a message.
Sounds Like I've run into a bug?????
Can you help???

Found out this must be related to development from a previous consultant..
thanks

Missing subject line in BW Process Chain Messages

Hi Experts!
We are using BW3.5 (Support pack 16) process chains. There are a number of process chains and almost every thing is working fine.
But 2 process chains, send message without any subject into the email.
I did a number of tricks e.g. reactivated/rescheduled process chains, removed from scheduling and rescheduled, also deleted and recreated the message but nothing is working.
Did any one else face the similar problem?
Please let me know,
Thx
Praveen

Praveen I also had similar problem and i raised one earlier post here also .., you can check that
Re: Process Chain Maintain Message Edit Document Problem
what i found it is because of some bug and needed to import 23 support package for bw 3.1 there I noticed one more note for 3.5
hope it guides u some way

How to delete Process Chains

Hi Experts,
I created Process chain for Deliveries in D sys and transported to P sys. Here we have six source systems so first we created 6 process chains for each source systems. Later we decide to add all those variants in one Process chain and we deleted individual process chain and transported to P sys.
So Process chains are deleted in D system and P system but changes are not effected in P system. Process Chains are not invisible both D & P systems.
But when we run the Deliveries Process chain, deleted Process chains are also running. And getting Error due to both are scheduled at same time. Because deleted Process chains are still showing in where used list....
Can any one help me guys!!!!
Thank you,
Suresh

Hi Suresh,
Can you please let us know what type of scheduling option you have used in the start variant.
Also please have a check if the start variant in all the chains are the same?
As per my understanding unless the start variant is triggered the chains will not get scheduled.
Also there is a bug in Bi7.0, that once the process chain transport has been completed to other environemt its starts getting executed if the start variant hold tha option as Direct scheduling - > Immediate.

Archiving using Process Chain, writes to archive but doesn't delete data

I have created an Archiving Process for a cube, and set it up to automatically start the "delete". I then created a process chain to execute the Archiving Process.
When I execute the process chain, here's what I notice in the joblogs:
1) Archiving job runs, writing the selected data to archive file
2) A separate deletion job is started, but the deletion job runs in "test" mode (which seems kind of like simulation mode) and identifies the records it would delete but it never actually deletes the data from the cube.
3) In SARA (Archive Administration), this run shows up as an "Incomplete Archiving Session", showing that archiving step was complete but deletion hasn't occured.
I am able to delete the data by running the "Delete" manually in SARA and then the "Archiving Session" goes to "completed" status. When I run it manually from SARA, the job log shows that it is running in "production mode" and not "test mode".
My question is... Is there a way to start the deletion in "production mode" and not "test mode" when I run the process chain?
Or is this a bug, that I should report to OSS?
Thanks much.
Padmaja

Hello,
You can set the Production Mode in Customizing
Have you tried with this function module ARCHIVE_OPEN_FOR_DELETE

Data load Error using Process chain

Hi,
In NW2004s when I schedule delta loads for 2LIS_11_VAITM using process chains, when there is zero delta, the manage screens of the infocubes show green light with zero records correctly whereas the process chain log display shows red. The details of the process monitor show zero records. Is this right? I assume that even if there is zero delta, the log must show green and all the subsequent processes like activation of ODS, deleting of PSA, construction of indexes must be carried out. Please confirm. Is this a bug?
Thanks.
Param

Hi Victor,
Can you please advice how you solved issue as we are having similar issue where it works fine when loaded manually but throws communication error when process chain runs, following is error message..
Communication error: call FM RSSDK_DATA_REMOTE_GET
Thanks in advance for your help!!

Process chain optimization

Dear All,
Our transaction process chains have been running for 2-3 hours longer daily than a few months ago. Users are not able to have data in time.
What are programs or t-codes where we can do a comparison of a process chain on various days.
I am currently working with /ssa/bwt program but since we have about 35 sub chains (some of them huge) within our transaction chain, comparison gets difficult when objects don't run in the same order (in many cases due to failure and correction).
Idocs getting stuck, we are checking. But for a direct one by one step wise comparison on volume of data, any t-code, program?
Regards,
Cleo

Hi Cleo,
make sure you have implemented all the notes/bug fixes from the following 3 'Composite SAP Notes' on your BW Landscape, including any manual steps...
1827854 - Enqueue/Lock during parallel data loads
2096765 - Composite note for hanging Infopackage processes in Process Chains
2093582 - Composite note for hanging DTP processes in Process Chains
This will significantly increase the performance of your process chains and also prevent most of the bugs associated with the failures. You can see which bug-fixes are relevant to your SP Level also.
Please give points if this resolves your problems once you have completed your analysis via transaction ST13,
thanks,
Colm

Questions on Multiprovider and Process Chain

Hai All,
          I have two questions. One on Multiprovider and the other on Process chain.
1. Multiprovider:
          For example, I have 2 ODSs. ODS1 has Objects ORDER NUMBER, COUNTRY and PRODUCT, ODS2 has objects ORDER NUMBER, DELIVERY STATUS, CREATION DATE.
Now if I make a multiprovider on ODS1 and ODS2, then as ORDER NUMBER is common in both the ODSs, can I make a report like this:
ORDER NUMBER - DELIVERY STATUS, CREATION DATE?
         I have a problem here bacuase its not getting those details from the other ODS even though the ORDER NUMBER(value) is same. Am I making nay mistake or is it a system problem.
I beleive thats how a Multiprovider works.
2. Process chain:
                I have an END connector in my process chain that connects 3 processes and lets the following task start only after the success of all the above 3 processes.
The system is displaying the END connector seperately under each process. But the name and everything else is same. Is this a setting somewhere in the process chain?
Thank you.

Hi,
1. Those fields are in ODS2, you don't need to make a multiprovider.
2. You mean an AND connector. Maybe you need to refresh the screen. if this doesn't work, delete the three and connectors and insert a new one.
Hope this helps.
Regards,
Diego

BPM Process chain takes long time to process

We have BI7, Netweaver 2004s on Oracle and SUN Solaris
There is a process chain (BPM) which pulls data from the CRM system into BW. The scheduled time to run this chain is 0034 hrs. This chain should ideally complete before / around 0830 Hrs. Now the problem is that every alternate day this chain behaves normally and gets completed well before 0830 hrs but every alternate day this chain fails there are almost 40 chains running daily. Some are event triggered (dependent with each other) or some run in parallel. In this, (BPM) process chain, usually there are 5 requests with 3 Delta and 2 full uploads (Master Data). The delta uploads finishes in 30 minutes without any issues with very few record transfers. The first full upload is from 0034 hrs to approximately 0130 hrs and the 2nd upload is from 0130 hrs to 0230 hrs. Now if the 1st upload gets delayed then the people who are initiating these chains, stop the 2nd full upload and continue it after all the process chains are completed. Now this entire BPM process chain sometimes takes 17 -18 hrs to complete!!!!!
No other loads in CRM or BW when these process chains are running
CRM has background jobs to push IDOCS to BW which run every 2 minutes which runs successfully
Yesterday this chain got completed successfully (well within stipulated time) with over 33,00,000 records transferred but sometimes it has failed to transfer even 12,00,000 records!!
Attaching a zip file, please refer the 21 to 26 Analysis screen shot.doc from the zip file
Within the zip file, attaching Normal timings of daily process chains.xls the name explains it.
Also within the zip file refer BPM Infoprovider and data source screen shot.doc please refer this file as the infopackage (page 2) which was used in the process chain is not displayed later on in page number 6 BUT CHAIN GOT SUCESSFULLY COMPLETED
We have analyzed:--
1) The PSA data for BPM process chain for past few days
2) The info providers for BPM process chain for past few days
3) The ODS entries for BPM process chain for past few days
4) The point of failure of BPM process chain for past few days
5) The overall performance of all the process chains for past few days
6) The number of requests in BW for this process chain
7) The load on CRM system for past few days when this process chain ran on BW system
As per our analysis, there are couple of things which can be fixed in the BW system:--
1) The partner agreement (transaction WE20) defined for the partner LS/BP3CLNT475 mentions both message types RSSEND and RSINFO: -- collect IDOCs and pack size = 1 Since the pack size = 1 will generate 1 TRFC call per IDOC, it should be changed to 10 so that less number of TRFCs will be generated thus less overhead for the BW server resulting in the increase in performance
2) In the definition of destination for the concerned RFC in BW (SM59), the Technical Setting tab says the Load balancing option = No. We are planning to make it Yes
But we believe that though these changes will bring some increase in performance, this is not the root cause of the abnormal behavior of this chain as this chain runs successfully on every alternate day with approximately the same amount of load in it.
I was not able to attach the many screen shots or the info which I had gathered during my analysis. Please advice how do I attach these files
Best Regards,

Hi,
Normally index creation or deletion can take long time in case your database statistics are not updated properly, so can check stat after your data loading is completed and index generation is done, Do creation of database statistics.
Then try to recheck ...

Error while activating Process Chains

Hi all,
while activating the Process Chains, i am getting the following error "Job BI_PROCESS_PSAPROCESS could not be scheduled. Termination with returncode 8"
when i double click on the error msg, i got the following help msg: "
Message no. RSPC065
Diagnosis
Program RSPROCESS is to be scheduled as job BI_PROCESS_PSAPROCESS under user ALEREMOTE.
Can any one please show some way to solve this problem? please do this favor, i have been suffering with error for a long time.
Points will be given
Thanks
Ganesh

Hi,
Just analyze the error message that you get while activating the PC, don't give any server name.If you are trying to run process chain using Flat file, it won't work,
and you should have source system R/3 or you have own datasources in BW system itself at that toime you can use PC to extract data. If your source system is Flat ile, it won't work. other wise you should place your flat file in application server, using AL11 tcode.
OSS : 511475
Symptom
You cannot schedule or perform any batch jobs with the BW or source system background user.
The error RSPC 065 occurs in the process chains:"Job could not be scheduled, termination with return code 8"
Other terms
RSPC065
Reason and Prerequisites
The user type is
"CPIC" up to 4.6B
"Communication" as of 4.6C
This user type may not execute or start any batch jobs, irrespective of the user authorizations.
Solution
Set the type of background user to
"Background" up to 4.6B
"System" as of 4.6C
This user type corresponds to the "Communication" type and may also perform background functions.
Through the Customizing, the BW user is automatically created by mistake as a communication user.Depending on your BW system release, you can solve this problem as follows:
BW 2.0B
 Import Support Package 24 for 2.0B (BW2.0B patch24 or SAPKW20B24) into your BW system. The Support Package is available once note 456551 with the short text "SAPBWNews BW 2.0B Support Package 24", which describes this Support Package in more detail, has been released for customers.
BW 2.1C
 Import Support Package 16 for 2.1C (BW2.1C patch16 or SAPKW21C16) into your BW system. The Support Package is available once note 456566 with the short text "SAPBWNews BW 2.1C Support Package 16" has been released for customers.
BW 3.0A
 Import Support Package 8 for 3.0A (BW3.0A patch08 or SAPKW30A08) into your BW system. The Support Package is available once note 452632 with the short text "SAPBWNews BW 3.0A Support Package 08" has been released for customers.

Error while Activating a process chain

Hi,
I have just modified the existing process chain with the new info package for loading into ODS and then delta update into the Info Cube.
when i am clicking on the option schedule and activate.
Its giving error as :
"InfoPackage ZPAK_49RJW545FSO2MB3NF1MIZ9NJ9 is
generated; NOT able to be used as loading variant"
This is a IP, which is used for delta update from ODS to cube.
I have checked the IP, its fine like i can do the delta through this pacakge manually.
Please help, points will be rewarded....

Dear himanshu arora ,
Go and check whether the Info Package exist ,
You can check in Rsa1 and give IP name and find it.
If your IP is not there please create it,
If tehre please check the all parameter associated with it.

Error while creating a process chain

Hello BI Gurus,
I have activated the Business Content Scenario in Plant Maintenance for Infocube 0PM_C08(Measurement Results).
It provides a datasource -> infocube flow,through DSO with transfer and update rules.(3.X scenario)
I have two questions -
1.When I am trying to create a process chain for this scenario for regular delta loads(Loading from the datasource - > DSO - > infocube),
Start - >Execute InfoPackage->Activate DSO Data ->
Then when i insert the Execute Infopackage for the load step from DSO to Infocube in the process chain and check it, it is giving an error saying "InfoPackage ZPAK_D50AJ26831X6L4IIOTZTSXWAE is generated; NOT able to be used as loading variant ".
I got this infopackage by right clicking on the context menu and going to Additional Functions -> Update 3.x data to Data targets.
Why am I getting this error and how to resolve it, bcos when i load it manually it is working fine?
2.If the error is because I did not use a infopack created by me, then how to create a infopack for loading to the infocube from DSO in BI7, because when i select from the Context Menu for creating infopack, it is taking me to the already generated IP ?
Also instead of using the 3.X mechanisms, if I decide to create a DTP, will the transformation created with it automatically map all the rules in the "Update Rules" for all fields?
Waiting for your guidance.
With Warm Regards,
Vineeth
