Process Chain - Decision Step - 1st Day of Month

Hi All,
I have a process chain decision that detemines if it is 1st of Month,
1st Line
Command -> IF
Formula -> WORKINGDAY_MONTH( Current Date, 'IE', '' ) = 1
then
Event - > Option 1
2nd Line
Command -> Else IF
Formula -> WORKINGDAY_MONTH( Current Date, 'IE', '' ) <>1
then
Event -> Option 2
3rd Line
Command -> Else
then
Error.
However, this month it has failed to work correctly. It was sucessful on 1st Jan, but it is also triggering Option 1 on 2nd, 3rd & 4th Jan. Can you help me to understand why it is doing this?
Thanking you,
Michelle

Thank you Npathak,
The process chains should run everyday therefore I don't understand how this would affect the process chain.
This is just a decision step at the end of the Daily Meta Chain, where if it is the 1st of the Month, it will continue and process a DTP for Stock Balances. The problem I have is that for the last 3 days, it has continued to process final step eventhough it is not 1st of Month.
For info; When I check the decision logic in the variant, I can see that the date that is being used in syst-datum.
Have you any other ideas?
Thank you,
Michelle

Run process chain on last three days of the month

Hello
I need to run process chain on last three days of the month. For example , It should run on 28, 29 and 30th dates of June.
There is no option to put a code in the start process of the process chain.
I can run it every day and put a code in the infopackage/DTP so that empty load (0 records) will be done on other days.
This doesnt sound as a good option.
Do u know any other options?

Hi
See the code and details how to do it, and change the code as per your requirement.

Schedule a process chain on last saturday of every month

Hi Guys,
My requirement is to schedule process chain on last saturday of every month. Is there any way to do this?
I am already aware of below document. So please do not reply with the same. But please let me know if I am missing on anything.
I have a requSchedule a Process chain on specific weekdays
Thanks,

HI R P,
As mentioned in 'Schedule a Process chain on specific weekdays' document to use decision step. You can go with it just before setting actual data flow PC steps. Here a help for you.
Logic for decision step-
Create a new custom function/method (say ABC) to calculate last Saturday of every month by using Standard Method 'FIRST_DAY_IN PERIOD_GET' (this gives last Sunday of every month) and use code logic accordingly to get last Saturday.
Now, pick this ABC function from 'User- Defined function' section for your decision step formula.
Hope this help.
Thanks!

Error in process chain pushing step

Hi Experts,
We encountered an error in process chain pushing step. The error is "Process ZXXXX, variant 4UBK25S73O99DNLFQ0Q55EBTY, ended with invalid status". Data is pushing from OHD to PI/XI system. Unable to trace error and even not able to see the variant in PC.
Could any one please give us your inputs on the error, if you experienced such type of error message. Your inputs/suggestions are highly appreciable.
Best Regards
Venkat...

Hi Ram, thank you for the quick response.
Yes, at source, all requests are available for reporting.
Source is a Cube and target is OHD (DB Table). From this OHD we are pushing data to PI system.
PC flow is: Start--->DTP--->Push Interface. The push interface step got failed.
Daily, it's working fine. Unfortunately, today failed
Any insights please...

Process Chain Decision Maker Step

Hi,
Decision Making is required to find the current day is not a 4rth Work Day of the Month. I have written a formula in the Decision Maker which looks like below. Can some one validate?
WORKINGDAY_MONTH( RIGHT( 2, Current Date ), SUBSTRING( Current Date, 4, 2 ), LEFT( 4, Current Date ) ) <> 4
If something is missing, please correct.

Hi Nilesh,
I have a problem with a decision step in my process chain. Also using 'WORKINGDAY_MONTH' However I don't understand what it is doing. Here is the formula;
1st Line
Command -> IF
Formula -> WORKINGDAY_MONTH( Current Date, 'IE', '' ) = 1
then
Event - > Option 1
2nd Line
Command -> Else IF
Formula -> WORKINGDAY_MONTH( Current Date, 'IE', '' ) 1
then
Event -> Option 2
3rd Line
Command -> Else
then
Error.
I would expect that on 1st day of each month it would trigger event option 1. This has been working sucessfully in previous months, however in Jan, it has triggered event option 1 for each of the following days, 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th & 5th Jan(today).
Following this decision point, it triggers Dataloads, only required at month end, ie 1st of each month. Everyday this week I had reverse the process.
Can you help me to understand what is happening? What transaction can I use to view logic of this function WORKINGDAY_MONTH.
Thanks very much,
Michelle

Hi Jiande Ding
create original chain as a Meta chain.
create the another process chain with immedaite in start varaint..
and put abap step in that PC after process chain..
put this below code in that abap program.
DATA: wwdate like sy-datum,
          WWDAY(2).
wwday = sy-datum+6(2).
IF WWDAY EQ '01' OR WWDAY EQ '03'.
   CALL FUNCTION 'RSPC_API_CHAIN_START'

How to CHANGE formulas in Process Chain decision?

Hi,
I'm working on a BI 2004s system with SP10.
I have created a Process Chain with a decision. This decision should check the first day in the month. In that case the chain should follow another path.
After creating a formula in the decision process type for the check, it's not possible to display or change this formula anymore!?!?!?!? I have only an option to create formula's: the white button.
Please advise.
Cheers,
Patrick

Hi Paolo,
That's exactly the problem: there is no pencil button.
I only see a create button.
Have you applied a special note to get the change button available?
Cheers,
Patrick

Problem in process chain running for 3 days

Hi Experts,
Please help me
We have process chain like below
1.     delete index
2.     full loads going 3 cubes (16 infopacs)
3.     loading to ods and then update to cube
4.     delete overlapping requests (16 infopac)
5.     create index
6.     aggregate filling
7.     delete PSA
Now the issue is, from last Saturday onwards
Process chains was still in Yellow status till date, so now, 1,2,3,4, are still running
In process chains, out if 16 infopacs, 12 are green, remaining 4 are stopped
And in ODS activation of ods data variant shows yellow, but when checked the data is activated, but not pushed to cube. When checked log it show u201Csystem exception error_messageu201D, so process terminated.
When we checked for shortdump,
It says u201Clocal time on the application server is incorrectu201D
Experts please let me know how to solve this and correct the load.

Hi Experts,
Thank u for your help,
I have done the steps manually yestarday, checked todays, still it is in yellow status.
let me explain the scenario,
The data is going to 3 cubes,
the process chain is designed like this,
1. initially delete index
2. full load to cube using 16 infopac and loading from (2)ODS to cube.
3. delete overlapping requests
4. create index (3 cubes)
5. fill aggregates (only one cube)
6. Delete PSA request
so now , chain is having problem at
1. data is loaded to ods
2. data activation (showing yellow, but when checked data is activated)
3. further update to cube (2 cubes) in process chain this is not started atall ( so y'day I've done manually)
4. out 16 infocpack, only 12 infopacs are green and remaining 4 are not started.
so yestarday I've manually schedule remaining 4 infopacs.
and deleted previour requests in infocube as they are full load, but I did'nt done create index and fill aggregate steps.
now the problem is , out of 3 cube report available request is present for 2 cubes, but for 3 cube this report request is not available, but QM status is green
please let me know how to proceed.
one small silly question, do i need to fill aggregate step to get this report available request.....please suggest.
Thanks & Regards,
Raghu

When I am in the 18-th day, I raise an event. I test the year,the calender of the system and the month (January).
This report is called in the chain, as ABAP process.
Then, in my chain , I put a local chain , that starts after it receives the event 'ZE_PROD' and the parameter for it 'ZE_PROD'.
This event with parameter has to be created in SM62.
I hope this helps and thank you all for the advices.
PS: - the factory calender method seems not to be to good, because need special rights to create it and I don' t think it's possible to customize it (because the holiday calender has to be changed and I did not see how).

Process Chain load step in yellow status

We are having a process chain with a load step.The load step is run with init with data transfer.
The load step is scheduled for the next time without changing the option to delta update.So the load step turned yellow with the background job log stating that delete the init Request ID.
The process chain is scheduled for several times but the load steps are all yellow.I initialized with data transfer and then to delta update.
All the requests in data targets are green.But all the load steps are in yellow.please let me know how to make it green.I tried to change the status of the load step to green manually using the function module rsps_process_finish,but the status is not changing.
Please help me out.Thanks in advance.

Process chains problems : Working every day with error (red)

Hi All,
I have a next question, about process chains problem.
When I start my process chains immediate, then working without errors, but I want this process chains work every day and chainged properties, selected date/time and periodicaly (every day) but now it work with error.
How to I find problems? What are yours offers?
p.s. I see logs, but every day have diffence between errors.
Regards,
Mahir M. Quluzade

HI,
just check the time which you have given is OK or is overlappintg with some other job which is locking your table in process chain
or is colliding with attribute change run
or it fails because of lack of background processes.
There could be numerious reasons and you need to analyze the log for this.
But as you said the job is failing everday for different reasons..try to find the most common errors and try to remove it or mention that here.
Thanks
