Process chain colour: active/scheduled?

Hi there,
Can i see from just looking at a process chain in RSPC whether or not it is scheduled and active?
Hope you can help
Cheers
Neil

Hi Neil Aldum,
1) Go to particular chain which u r going to monitor in RSPC.
2) In planned view u will be knowing whether the chain is in scheduled or Descheduled & also first of all check logs.
3) If the chain is green,it means that chain is Scheduled.
4) If the chain is in Grey colour,it indicates that the chain is descheduled
or If u want to run the chain ,in status bar u will find an option to "Schedule & Activate"
Thanks & Regards,

Process chain - ODS Activation error

Hello All,
I have a process chain which has the following data load sequences:
Load data to ODS
Activate ODS
Load data to ODS2
Activate data ODS2
Load data to ODS3
Activate ODS3.
Used the Program to RSPC_SYNCHRONOUS_RUN to schedule the process chain in Background.
When the process chain is executed in background it loads the data to ODS1 and Activation process is not happening. It registers short dump like shown below at the end. But when i execute the same process chain in RSPC, Schedule option with Start variant set to immediate, it is activating the ODS Data and completes the process chain Succesfully.
Help me to solve this problem.

Invalid interruption of a database selection.

Error in ABAP application program.
The current ABAP program "GP4BRKGANFKJY5K2A3ACVGAPTN4" had to be terminated

This is probably due to an error in the ABAP program.

t can you do?
If the error occurs in debugging mode, you should first run the process
without debugging activated.
If the error persists outside debugging, you must check the application
program more closely.
No error requiring recovery has occurred.
Print out the error message (using the "Print" function)
and make a note of the actions and input that caused the
error.
To resolve the problem, contact your SAP system administrator.

Error analysis
    An exception occurred. This exception is dealt with in more detail below
    . The exception, which is assigned to the class 'CX_SY_OPEN_SQL_DB', was
     neither
    caught nor passed along using a RAISING clause, in the procedure "ACTIVATE_ODS"
     "(FORM)"
    Since the caller of the procedure could not have expected this exception
     to occur, the running program was terminated.
    The reason for the exception is:
    One of the database selections included a database commit.
    The selection was then supposed to continue. Before a
    database commit, however, all outstanding database selections must be
    concluded.
    Possible causes in the application program:
    Within a loop (SELECT/LOOP/EXEC SQL), one of the following
    statements is used:
    - MESSAGE (apart from MESSAGE S...)
    - COMMIT WORK
    - ROLLBACK WORK
    - CALL SCREEN
    - CALL DIALOG
    - CALL TRANSACTION
    - SUBMIT
    - BREAK-POINT
    - WAIT
    In debugging mode, a program sometimes triggers
    a "COMMIT WORK" during the database selection. As a result
    this termination may also occur in debugging mode with a correct
    program.
A "COMMIT WORK" during debugging may be due to the following reasons:
1. A program or screen was regenerated
    and updated in the database.
2. Each user needs a private process in debugging mode, but
    the number of available processes is restricted. If this
    limit is exceeded, each debugging step then requires a
    "COMMIT WORK".
The error occurred in a statement that accesses the table "/BIC/AZXOQMATR40 ".
Thanks in Advance.
Points will be assigned.

Hi,
If it is a daily process chain u define it on a periodic basis in the variant and it'll run successfully.
I guess the DUMP may be due to less processes at the time u run...It is gving the same in the dump also..
So when u run the chain immediate in the BKGD the ODS will be automatically getting the required processes dailog and bkgd to run according to ur settings and it was successful..
U try to execute the chain using FM: RSPC_API_CHAIN_START and give the tecnical name of the chain under I_CHAIN filed and conitinue...It'll scedule the chain in the BKGD only and if it is a periodic one the chain will be automatically ready for the next run also...
rgds,

Infopackage in process chain is not scheduling

Hi All
One of infopackage in process chain is not scheduling and showing error message like "<b>Attributes are not yet maintained
Entire chain now has status 'R'</b>
what do we mean about this
can anyone will let me know in detail and how to correct this?
Regards
balaji

Hi balaji,
how big is your process chain ? I got a similar problem when I build a metachain with a lot of processes in the chain (more than 60). In this case, the error message is deceiving. If your process chain has similar numbers of processes, check OSS 942804 (Jobcount handling).
Kind regards,
Jürgen

One Process Chain but different schedule.

Hi Experts:
I have this issue. I need to run one process chain in different schedule. For example:
From days 28 to 5 of each month I need to run every hour.
From days 6 to 27 of each month I need to run every four hour.
I have BW 3.5
Do you have any idea How I could do that?.
Thanks in advanced.

Process chain 3 times schedule a day

Hi Experts,
In my requirement is to schedule the process chain 3 times a day but different times like 5am, 12pm, and 4pm.
Could you please anyone reply to step by step procedure.
Advance thanks
Regards,
Sathis

Hi,
1)You can make the process chain to be trigered by an event.
You create user events in SM62. In SM62, next to "User even names", click on Maintain and press Enter. Click on the Create icon to create a new event (let's call it ZEVENT).
Next, in your process chain, change the Start variant to be scheduled "After event", and put in ZEVENT for the event name. Also, click on the "Periodic job" at the bottom. This will automatically reschedule the jobs for the process chain after it executes.
Next, create an ABAP program (let's call it Z_EVENT_RAISE) to call the function module BP_EVENT_RAISE. You're code can look like this:
codeREPORT Z_EVENT_RAISE.
PARAMETERS: P_EVENT LIKE TBTCO-EVENTID.
CALL FUNCTION 'BP_EVENT_RAISE'
EXPORTING
EVENTID = P_EVENT.
IF sy-subrc 0.
MESSAGE ID SY-MSGID TYPE SY-MSGTY NUMBER SY-MSGNO
WITH SY-MSGV1 SY-MSGV2 SY-MSGV3 SY-MSGV4.
ENDIF.[/code]
This ABAP program will prompt for an event name, so you will need to create a variant (let's call it ZEVENT) which will save the value of the event name (also ZEVENT). You will need the variant name to be able to trigger the event in a batch job.
Now all you need is the batch job. Use tcode SM36 to create a batch job where you call the ABAP program (Z_EVENT_RAISE) using the variant (ZEVENT).
Note, SM64 only triggers an event manually.
and you can copy this job to schedule it three times a day.
2)In the Start process of your process chain, select Direct Scheduling and then click the Change Selections icon. This will bring you to the Start Time window where you can put in the Date/Time you want to start your process chain. At the bottom of this window, click on the Periodic job box and you will notice another icon way at the bottom called Period Values. Click this to determine what frequency the job should be rescheduled (ie. daily, weekly, etc.).
3)you can do this by right-clicking on the start process, selection "Maintain Variant", choose "Direct Scheduling". Next select "Change Selections", pick your date and time, set your period values and you're done.
Hope this helps.

How to identify whether that particular process chain is active or not?

Hi all,
How to identify whether that particular process chain is active or not ?
thanxs
haritha

If see the process chain then it will not be greyed out if it is active. Or else check in these tables.
RSPCCHAIN
RSPCCHAINT
to check the logs
RSPCLOGS
RSPCPROCESSLOG
Give the chain name and check in the object version.

Process Chain Activate and Schedule

Hi Experts,
I removed Load ODS and Activate process in a big process Chain. This process chain is run using a meta chain. Now after this change do i have to click activate and schedule or just activate??

How to trigger a process chain using external scheduler ?

Hi all,
we have a requirement wherein we need to trigger the process chains from an external scheduler used by client rather than directly scheduling it through BW scheduler.So any pointers on this will be heplful.

Hi we have had a same scenario like this. You can schedule it using schedulers like autosys. Speak to your basis team and see if you have the autosys software installed or some thing similar to that. You have to write a program which calls the function RSPC_CHAIN_START. When you excute this program, it willl ask for a variant to execute. this variant will be the start variant of the process chain you want to trigger.
the flow will be like the basis team will schedule the autosys or the scheduler to run the program and this program will in turn trigger the process chain.

Satish.

Process Chain execute method Schedule or Execute Synchronously

Hi Expert:
      When i execute process chain, there are two methods to start the PC: Schedule and Execute Synchronously .
      Now i wander what the difference between the two methods for executing the PC.
      Thanks inadvance.

Hi prashanthk
    Thank your response,
    As a matter of fact, i execute the same process chain which contains a Abap Program with schedule and execute synchronously .
   But with schedule, the PC terminate with a error and execute synchronnusly the PC it run correctly .
whether execute the PC in background or dialog mode can make a different result for the same PC .
Now i confused about this.
Can you explain this in more detail for me?
Thanks .

Process Chain Server for Scheduling

Hello,
I would like to schedule my process chains such that I avoid any deadlocks from not enough background processes being available and other kinds of resource failures. I have been trying to schedule certain chains on different servers logically, but if an app server changes unexpectedly then the loads fail. It seems that hard coding chains to servers is not an ideal solution. What is the best option for server scheduling when you schedule a process chain? Is there an option that gives some sort of load balancing? Should you just leave the server field blank? What about the server group option?
Thanks,
TMS

leave the server field blank.
the load balancing feature will take care of distribution of jobs automatically

Process chain--how to schedule the variant even if there is no repeat opt.

Hello Gurus,
Can anybody help me out like the issue was...
when monitoring the process-chain,the variant-load infopackage was successfully completed the status was green,and next to that there was a update from the PSA variant and then to that there is a ATTR.chane run variant,process chain strucked at these two variants.when i look into that there was no repeat option on both the variants. so how could i schedule that from at that point.
Thanks in advance for the solution!
Regards,
Dilip

Hi Dilip,
You have to do the remaining process steps manually.
If the the failed process step is loading proces step, then make the QM status of that upload to Red and then refresh the process chain.. Some times you will get the repeate option with that.
Or else end the process as described below:
When ever the load fails in a process chain we need to check whether its a load error or a non-load error. For load we need to rectifie the error manually nd need to run the program which is given SAP SE38.
RSPC_PROCESS_FINISH for this we need to pass some parameters.
like process chain name. variant, instance and the status. Here status we will give as 'G'. so that chain can identify that the previous process has been successful nd run the remaining processes automatically.
Refer the below Blog

Assign points if it help you.

I WAS ASK TO TEST AN PROCESS CHAIN IN DEVELPOMENT SER WHICH WAS ALREADY PRESENT IN THE PRODUTION SERVER , WHEN I EXECUTED THE CHAIN IN DEVELPMENT SERVER ATRANSPORT REQUEST WAS GENERATED AND MOVE TO THE TRANSPORT QUE.
WHEN I TRY TO RUN CHAIN IN THE PRODUCTION SERVER I GET THE FOLLWING eRROR
1) Invalid call sequence for inter faces when recording changes
I FOUND OUT THAT THE REQUST GENERATED IN A DEV SERVER FOR TRANSPORT IS RELEASD BY BASIS I GET THE FOLLWING ERROR WHEN IAM TRYED TO RUN CHAIN AFTER RELASING THE TRANPORT
2)System setting does not allow changes to be made to

Do you have auth to do so ? { Choose 'Display object' or 'Cancel' }
Are all the steps correct in the chain ?

Process Chain - What is Scheduled

I haven't found an easy way to find out what PCs are scheduled to run in the future, i.e. overnite.
I know that from RSPC, I can can click on the "Job Overview" button, and filter only "Released" jobs for a particular date range. Those jobs all say "BI_PROCESS_TRIGGER", but they don't say much about what they actually are.
Is there an easy way to get a picture of what is scheduled to run, including the PC name or description?

The way that RSPCM is configured on our system, it only shows jobs in the past, not the future.
Can RSPCM be changed to show the future? Unless I am missing something, RSPCM doesn't seem like a very flexible screen. I don't know of a way to create different views, or customize the view for each user.

Process chain Schedule

Hi experts,
I created a process chain and activated.
But when i clicked on schedule the following message is
coming:
===========================================
Job BI_PROCESS_DROPINDEX could not be scheduled. Termination with returncode 8
Message no. RSPC065
Diagnosis
Program RSPROCESS is to be scheduled as job BI_PROCESS_DROPINDEX under user RFCUSER.
System Response
Scheduling terminated with return code 8. The meanings of the return codes are as follows:
SY-SUBRC = 4:
Scheduling terminated by user
SY-SUBRC = 8:
Error when scheduling job (JOB_SUBMIT)
SY-SUBRC = 12:
Error in internal number assignment
Procedure
Check the system log for more detailed information.
Execute Function
=============================================
Can anyone explain me how to solve this error and execute
the chain.Is there anymore process to schedule a chain ?
Full points will be assigned.
Regards,
V N.

Please check your Execution User for the Process Chain.
Go to Design mode of your Process Chain
From Top Menu choose
Process Chain >> Attributes >> Execution User
Choose "BW Background User" which should be ALEREMOTE.
That should ideally solve your issue.
