Process Chain: Delta to Cube Fail

Hi All, I am using a process chain which has the following sequence: Start>>Delete Data in ODS>>Full load to ODS>>Delta to CUBE
Before running the process chain I manually loaded ODS & did a manual init to Cube. Then tried to run process chain, it fail while loading to cube, with a message that "Check: No successful initialization of the delta update took place". I checked before running the process chain, the schedules has the entry for the init request. I guess when the ODS data is deleted the init entry from the schduler get deleted.
The reason I delete ODS is because each day full loads keep getting accumulated & ODS gets fragmented. This was affecting the reporting performance. Now since I have deleted the old full loads out of ODS, reports run faster. But since I delete ODS, I lose the init request for the cube. Is there a work around, to do delete the full loads out of ODS & still do delta to the cubes?
We are on BI 7.0 sp 13. kindly help
thanks
PK

Are you following the Old School Method in 7.0 using Infopackages to load data from ODS to Cube ?
As you are deleting all data in ODS before loading - Delta Capability/Changelog is not being used ...did I miss something here ???
If you are loading new full loads to ODS everytime and updating the same to Cube is the data not doubling up in the Cube ????
If thats not it and you want only the new/latest request to be loaded to the Cube use Deleting Overlapping Request feature for Cube.
If you have been using DTP's Delta DTP to Cube will surely work as Init is not reqd for a Delta DTP.
Lets wait for some experts advises...

How to Create Process Chain for Remote Cube.

Hi,
I created Remote info cube, data from ECC, loaded Successfully, I want to create Process Chain for Reomte Cube, Please Help me.
Thanks,
Nandish Gowda

Hi Nandish,
After initialization, th next delta will come as per your delta nature, if it is 0calday: Then your next delta will come tomorrow only.
If you are able to 7 records in RSA3, why not in PSA( Why it's only 5 records). Analyze this closely.
Sometimes, RSA3 exactly doesn't match with PSA because, RSA3 works on update mode F.

Hello,
The problem might be due to missing or incorrect customizing settings in
Tcode RSTPRFC.
Please review the SAP note 659160
659160 - "Error during remote call of destination ' ... ' -RSPC051"
Please ensure the user and password are maintained in the transaction SM59 for the
myself rfc connection. Also for the transaction RSTPRFC.
There are objects that require client-specific processing as part of
import postprocessing. However, transports are usually performed in
client 000. This processing is enabled by an RFC logon with a user
change of client 000 to the productive client in BW.
Therefore please maintain these two places (sm59 and rstprfc) according to note
659160 - "Error during remote call of destination ' ... ' -RSPC051".
if those things are maintained this error shouldn't occur anymore

Process chain fails every time at "roll up of aggregates"

Please guide me what to do?and explain me why this happens.
Error message:-process rollup of filled aggregates/bia indexes,variant delta load of aggregates
Thanks( in advance)
Moushmi

Hi Moushmi,
Have you checked if the system has processes available while the chain is running? It could be that your system is overloaded and the aggregates wouldn't roll up because you have no processes or available memory.
Check with your Basis resource. Also, try changing your chain to do only 1 at a time. Do you have many aggregates to load, are they big, and most important are they being used.

ABAP program fails in process chain -'ABAP/4 processor: DBIF_NTAB_SQL_ER

Hi Experts,
I have an ABAP program in process chain. It frequently fails in the chain .
When i do repeat on it will run fine.
Purpose of the program is to delete the content from open hub table.
I can 'ABAP/4 processor: DBIF_NTAB_SQL_ERROR' .
What could be the reason . How can i give permenant fix to it.

BI Admin Cockpit process chains fail to install

Hi All,
I'm attempting to install and configure the BI Admin Cockpit on our BI Development system.
I've followed the steps outlined in the collective note, 965386.
When running transaction rstcc_inst_biac to install the Content for the BI Admin Cockpit, the background job RSTCC_ACTIVATE_ADMIN_COCKPIT cancelled with error message RS 062.
Regarding this, instructions from note 1039381 were used to clear table entries and I re-ran the job, this time successfully.
Checking slg1, the logs show no errors and only minor warnings and it can be seen via RSA1 that some Technical Content is in the Activated state.
However, when entering transaction RSPC to schedule the process chains, the screen is blank and it appears that the associated chains have not been installed.
Regarding this, note 1065249 has been checked:
<i>'This note needs to be applied only if SP level of software component BI_CONT is less than SP7 and SAP_BW is greater than or equal to SP13.'</i>
Our system is currently at the required SP levels, BW13 and BI_CONT SP7.
Any ideas on how to install the process chains would be very welcome.
Chris

I was able to install BI Admin Cockpit recently after multiple attempts. All process chains installed properly. There are still some minor issues but in general I was able to see the BI Stats reports. Here is the steps that I did:
System Info: SAP_BW 700 13, BI_CONT 703 5
1. Note 934848: Select only myself system in the TX:RSOR Source System
2. Note 834280: Installing technical BI Content after upgrade
3. Apply OSS note: 1039381, 1065249, 1044792
4. Note 965386: Activate tech content in IMG (SPRO) sequentially from Activate SAPI Data Sources ... to Activate Technical Content. Activating it sequentially will help identify which step is failing.
5. Activate Process Chains using txn RSOR Technical Content (0TCT*).
The process chains were installed but failed to be activated. Whe I double click on a process chain nothing was displayed but edit the process chain anyway and activate manually.
Good luck.

Process chain failing with error 8 in BI 7.0

Hi ,
we have upgrade the dev to BI 7.0 and I am trying to execute the process chains but it is failing with a error 8 due to the step of the job BI_PROCESS is in the name of a old user. So i have changed in process chain -Attrbutes--Execution user --- current user.So the chain has started but it has so many chains inside the Meta chain it looks i need to go to each of them and change as cyurrent user.
But is there some place where I can change globally to a Batch user/current user for these process chain in BI 7.0.If so pl let me know.

Hi,
user SM37 to identify all BI_PROCESS jobs and change the User of the step in the jobs (they all should only have one step).

ABAP Program for set local process chain failed

I would like to execute ABAP Program in local process chain. If the condition is in the pre-defined bussiness rule, local process chain is set to fail.
Currently I use ABAP and Raise Message Error = Message Type E for cancel program. After program is cancelled, local process chain don't know its status, wait for job SAP_CCMS_MONI_BATCH_DP to determine status of process chain and then further execute subsequent process.
I 'm not sure that our solution is right or not about set process chain to fail via ABAP. Please suggest us if there are other solution to set process chain as failed.

Hi.
Plz see my answer to similar question in [this thread|Re: Manage a message at the end of process chain on Web planning Application].

EMail when process chain failed

Dear all,
How can I add a process chain step, which sends out a mail, when the loading process within the process chain loading procedure is failing.
We are running NW BI 7.0. Any help would be great.
Best regards,
Stefan Leontiadis

Hi Stefanos........
This topic is discussed many times in the SDN.........
1) Right Click on the Loding Process >> Create message
2) There select on Failure >> Enter
3) Then give a variant name >> Enter
4) Then Click on Edit Document.............and write down whatever u want to display in the Error message.........Save it and come out......
5) Then Click on Maintain Recipient List ...........There give the Recipients user id and Recipient Type...........Along with this u can check the following boxes if required........
Send Express >> If you select this field, this document is sent to the recipient as an express message. A dialog box then appears informing the user that an express document has been sent, allowing him/her to switch to the inbox
Send: Copy >> If you select this field, the user receives the document as a copy. This means the user receives the document for his/her information and does not need to take any action.
Send: Blind copy >> If this field is selected, the recipient receives the document as a blind copy.The sender can therefore be sure that only the recipient can read the document and not a substitute. Furthermore, only the sender and receiver of the blind copy can see this operation in the recipient list. If the document is sent to other recipients, they cannot see this send operation.

Process chain taking long time to complete

Hi,
I am having following issues in the process chain daily loads
1) The PSA deletion is taking very long time on fridays only (nearly 3 hrs). Other days it gets deleted in 1 hr max.
2) Just to load 381 records via dtp from DSO to cube takes nearly 2 hrs(Delta load). No major routines are written in the transformation.
How to analyse a process in process chain which does not fail, but takes very long time to complete. Is there any tool or transaction in BW which can help us to analyse why the process chain takes so long time to complete in different days. One day it completes in 8 hrs, another day it takes 12 hrs.
None of the transactions, SM37, SM50, SLG1, LOGS etc are giving me any help to analyse this issue.
If it fails we have error logs to check and analyse, but without failing how we can analyse and fix the delay and reduce the time of loading data. Please guide me.
Thanks in advance.

Hi.......
1) This might be due to the poor performance of the system ..there wont be enoughwork processes avilabe in teh system .- What needs to be done if it does not have enough work processes available. Though I can find that lots of dialog processes were free during these jobs as well some Background processes were also free.?
Look to increase Work Process.......................u can do two things..............U can cancel some Job...........which r not progressing...........or which r not very important for the time being..........
Or if possible........u can increase number of servers..........
Look When a Job will start...............first it will run in background.............u can start in in Dialog also..........but for Dialogue after some time ..load will go to time out.................now many Child jobs will be created for a single background jobs..............they may run in Dialogue..........u can monitor them through SM66............
2) Check ST04 for lock waits and dead locks ..if the same lock persist for long then check with basis team.
What needs to be conveyed to the basis team when these locks happen?
generally these will be temporary Locks.............after some time locks will be realeased..............if they persist for a long time...........then u can contact Basis people..........Or if u can understand that which job is creating the lock.............like if u double click on the job >> click on Job details...............from there u will find the PID................copy that.............and check in ST04..........whether they matches or not..............now suppose it match.............and u know that job is not very important............then u can cancel the job.............
Check also the table space availba in St04 . the usuage should nt be more than 90%
What needs to be conveyed to the basis team if the usage is more than 90%.?
U can ask them to increase the Table space........
Check the sm37 >> delay column it should nt be high
What needs to be done if delay column is high. Actually it is high for these jobs (PSA deletion and load from DSO to Cube visa DTP (Delta load)?
If Delay is more.............it means ...........that there is no free work process...jobs r going to Release state............solution I had already given u.......
Check the PID refeclting in lock waits in sm66 wether they are progressing or nt ..
If they are not progressing what action needs to be taken?
Actually...........suppose one Dialogue job is running............it may change..........ie that Dialogue job will go to Stop status.........some other job will start............anyways if it does'nt progress............u can cacel the JOb.........
Check OS07 for DB if the idle time is less then 20% then its a problem ..
If the Idle time is less than 20% what action needs to be taken?
U can contact the Basis people.......
Check sm21 and RFC connection with other source systems in sm59 ..
What needs to be checked in SM21 and SM59 specifically? What parameter i need to check?
In SM21.............if red status is there............check the Log beside that..............may be it will be some Terminal disconnected.......
In SM59...........clck on test connection..........
if the problem is occuring due to only one source system then check the performance of that system ..
How to check the performance of these systems? Any tools available in R/3 system to check its performance?
No.....in this way u can check performance for all the source system...........go to SM59............double click on the desired source system>> click on test connection......
If All these are persisting then its a performance problem and check with basis team ..
Is there any special settings which needs to be maintained to achieve better performance of Process chain loads?
U can Improve the performance of process chain by Parallel Processing..........ie split the loads by giving selections...........and execute thenm in parallel..........

Debjani........

Problem in creating process chains for CO

Hi Friends,
                 I have a CO cube "0OPA_C11" getting data from Three datasources,
those are 0CO_OM_OPA_6(supports delta), 0CO_OM_OPA_1(full only), 0CO_OM_OPA_2(full only), i have already created process chain to this cube using these three datasources, the chain is like this,
1. delete indexes
2.0CO_OM_OPA_6(supports delta
3.0CO_OM_OPA_1(full only),
4.0CO_OM_OPA_1(request overlapping)
5.0CO_OM_OPA_2(full only),
6.0CO_OM_OPA_2(request overlapping)
7.create indexes
        Is it right? here the chain is running, after completion of that, in manage of cube, it is showing only the request for 0CO_OM_OPA_2(full only), the request which were there earlier like Init request and new delta request for .0CO_OM_OPA_6, full request for 0CO_OM_OPA_1 are getting deleted, it is showing the request only for 0CO_OM_OPA_2,
the way how i created the process chain is right or wrong? can anybody give me the solution?
Thanx in Advance
BalajiReddy

Hi Nick,
          Thanx for your reply, everthing is ok what you've asked me to check, i think there is certain scenario to create the process chains for the data targets, which are getting data from multiple datasources, which support delta's as well as full.
          I want that scenario, can you tell me? or can anybody tell me?
The right points are assigned to the right answers.
Thanx in advance

Broadcaster event data change process step in process chain goes on HOLD

Hi,
We have a process step of event data change in process chain for a cube. the broadcaster has some settings built on this to send email whenever data updates happent to that cube.
It was working fine till last week; suddenly the process started going on sleep or hold mode. i ahve tried deleting old process variant and added new one ...still the job hangs.
Also in SOST i can see that the email based on broadcaster setting were sent. Though users havent recieved any. the job logs in SM37 say:
Job started
Step 001 started (program RSPROCESS, variant &0000000518457, user ID BIWREMOTE)
Program RSBATCH_EXECUTE_PROZESS successfully scheduled as job BIBCAST4E9S51L2EFE7AXG4IFUKNJW3W with ID 01462600

Submit report for report RSBATCH_EXECUTE_PROZESS failed; see long text
Submit report for report RSBATCH_EXECUTE_PROZESS failed; see long text
Submit report for report RSBATCH_EXECUTE_PROZESS failed; see long text
but when i see the job mentioned in this failed step:
Job started
Step 001 started (program RSBATCH_EXECUTE_PROZESS, variant &0000001419141, user ID KRANTUL1)
Precalculation: initialization started

So the users should have recieved the email . we have separately tested sending out emails and it works fine. just that process in process chain doesnt get completed at all.
the slg1 logs are all successful.
any pointers what could be wrong ?

Use process the INTERRUPT if the last precalculation and alert messaging are succesful. Guess it is looping with first precalucatation

Process Chain Error while activating DSO

Hello.
1st, let me say that I'm pretty new to BI so I apologize for the stupid question :-S
I have a process chain (Warehouse Mangement) that failed this morning at the DSO data activation step. It's simply because some entries have lowercase value in a field that should not. I know how easy this is to fix in the transformation but my problem is more on how to fix the actual fail of the process chain. Can I edit the "non-activated" data in the DSO (only 2-3 records that I need to put in uppercase) and "repair" my process chain or should I proceed another way?
Thanks for your help.

Hi John.
If guess your Process Chain process ended in "Red color". Once you fix the error you can try to make "right-click" on the process with error and select "Repair". If this operation is "supported" by the activation process you won't have error.
But I really believe that you'll have to erase the request and launch the complete process (o set of related processes) once again. It's possible that the data you want its already in the NEW-DATA table of your ODS.
This tables is the following. /BIC/A<your ods tech-name>40
Hope it helps

ABAP Code not getting executed through process chain

Hi Friends,
I have program which when executed with respective varient Popup system message (SM02 Messages). This program work fine when executed in forground or in background.
However same program when i added in process chain with respective varient. The output is not genertaed as expected (i.e the program is not populating SM02 message)
The process chain work's fine without giving any error.
Does any setting we need to do ???
i have followed the procedure given in "How to
Integrate an ABAP program in a process chain" document from OSS.
Regards,
Jayant.

Hi,
you will not see in the log of the process chain if your program failed or not. You only receive a message that the programm has been triggered successfully.
Your program is then started in a new background process with a new log - try to find it via the job overview (transaction SM37) via date and time selection. (Of course you can only find there what your program writes to the log).
Another idea would be to check the profile of user ALEREMOTE (Transaction SU01 or SU01D) if there is an authorization for transaction SM02.
