Process Chain elements

Hello Gurus,
I want to build a PC for Transaction Data from Flatfile. The Dataflow is:
First PSA, then in a DSO, after that in an other DSO and at last into a Cube.
The Dataflow is in BW3.5. Always Full upload...
Can Some one explain me, what i Need ??? change run or like that ????
THANKS

hi,
first load the data to ods1 with processing option in infopack as psa and data target in series(first option). include this infopack first.
activate the ods1.activation process
create an infopack under the infosource 8<ODS1> and include that to the process chain after the acivation.
activate the ods2.actiavtion process
include the process delete index to delete the index of cube.
create the infopack under hte infosource 8<ODS2> and include in the process chain after the delete index.
then include the create index process for the cube.
perform roll up for the aggregates if any.
do compression if required.

Process Chains - Like to see elements and affected info providers

Hi,
I am wondering if there is any possibility to get an overview of all active process chains with their process elements/steps and the affected objects within these steps/process chains (like infocubes, ODS etc.). In principle it's a process chain detailed view (like in RSPC chart) but not as a chart and not for one PC only but in a list for all PCs. So far I took a look into various tables like RSPCCHAIN (master table for process chains), RSPCVARIANT (attributes for certain process step types of a process chain), and RSPCVARIANTATTR (certain process types) but want to avoid any further effort to combine all these in Excel if there is an easier way to get that information.
Background of my query is that we have a certain set of high-priority process chains and I need to know all involved info providers (Info Cubes, ODS, PSA etc.) to give the Operations guy a heads-up whenever something is not fine with these providers. So having a query where I can input the set of PCs would be great.
Any feedback is highly appreciated.
Regards,
Oliver.
P.S.: An overview of tables where this information resides (between RSPCCHAIN, RSPCVARIANT, and RSPCVARIANTATTR) would also be helpful.

Thanks for your replies. Transactions RCPCM and RZ20 are pretty helpful for monitoring purposes.
Anyway, for my described purpose I have designed a query with the QuickViewer (SQVI) joining tables RSPCCHAIN (Process Chains), RSPCCHAINT (PC description), and RSPCVARIANT (attributes for the steps within a PC). When I filter for field RSPCVARIANT-FNAM = "DTA-CUBE" OR "DTA-ODSO" I get all Cubes and ODS for a given process chain (RSPCVARIANT-LOW). Only drawback so far is that I don't get the explosion of meta chains and have to select each of the included chains separately but that's feasible as we don't have many nested chains.
Regards,
Oliver.

Infopackage in process chain taking long time to run

HI Experts,
One of the element (Infopackage) in process chain(Daily process chain) is taking much longer time(6 hr and still runing) as generally it takes 15-20 mins to complete and the status is in yellow and still running in process monitor without giving any clear picture of error. Manually we are making the staus red and we are updating from PSA and this time it is getting completed in time as specified.
Flow from PSA to datatarget(DSO) in series
For last one week we are facing same issue and i would like to mention that we don't have access to SM37,SM12 to look the logs
and any locks.
without this i need to investigate what is the root cause for the same.
with regards,

Infopackage in process chain failing due to short dump on regular basis.

HI Experts,
There is a daily process chain in which one of the element (infopackage) fails due to short dump on regular basis (At least twice in a week) please find the message below
Runtime Errors         DBIF_RSQL_SQL_ERROR
Exception              CX_SY_OPEN_SQL_DB
Short text
SQL error in the database when accessing a table.
And in job log it is showing ARFCSTATE = SYSFAIL
We are able to resolve it just manual update and the process goes fine no issues but my question here is what is the exact reason for this and how to resolve it permanently or decrease the frequency of the error.
Please if any one can tell the root cause and the solution to avoid the issue in future on regular basis.
and also can any one elaborate what is ARFCSTATE = SYSFAIL,for trfc check we don't have access to SM58 in ECC side
and trfc is fine in bw side
Appreciate for not giving the general solutions like repeated solutions already posted in SDN
with regards,
musai

You can contact your BASIS person he can help you reg table space issue. it says used space is 98% and free space is 1.03%.
ask your basis to set a threshold to check the space and send a mail notification to all daily regarding the space allocation and utilization.
ARFCSTATE = SYSFAIL means the TRFC did not processed properly to the BW system from source.
Monitoring object with information about tRFC and qRFC calls that are waiting to be executed in this system; after they have been executed, they are deleted from table ARFCRSTATE.
Are there any hung TRFCs which are not processed to BW side. have you checked it
first check
load monitor -- menu -- environment -- job overview -- status of job(is it finsihed or not?) - check the job log -- ther try to find out the hung TRFc
press find --tyep "sysfail" ok -- it will display all the hung or fialed TRFCs which are not processed to BW system.
if you find the hung TID with respect to your load.. next goto SM58 trasaction to process the trfcs manually or use the load monitor menu -- environment -- transaction RFC -- source sys -- it will take you to same SM58 screen -- click F8 it will display the hung TRFc in that duration.
select the TRFc and click on F6 to process them manually.
also check the loackwaits anddead locks in ST04/DB6COCKPIT.( ask basis to check) if any dead locks are there they will take care of it.
check for short dumps in st22 if any and try to analyse.
Check the SM21 system logs.

Transportation of process chain

Hi,
I have transported Process chain from Development system to Quality system,but i cannot see my transported process chain in BWQ, i did't get any problems while transporting request from development to Quality, in STMS also succesfully imported.but my problem is why i cannot see my process chain in RSPC of Quality system.
Thanks&Regards
YSN

Hi,
You can use T-code se10, searched the request numbers by userID. Then, you can check the request with your Process Chain to see if you have included all process variant and elements for your process chain.
In my experience , if you collected elements of process chain by Transport Connection and transported, you should be able to see everything of transported chain on QAS/PRD.
Hope it helps

Complex process chain

Hi,
I need to create a process chain based on a event.
From ECC i got a program that sends same event multiple times a day.
The conditions are given below,
1. Process chain must be scheduled to wait for the event.
2. If the event is received between time '020000' and '050000.
    then the proces chain must proceedfurther
   else
   it must not proceed and wait.
can this be achieved via process type ABAP program or any other best possibility?

Hey Again.
Ok, I think you probably won't be able to do this with the decision between multiple alternatives. Well, actually you could but it would take some extra work. I've implemented custom formulas where I am and have created some for checking if a chain is active, a process is active, a chain has completed, etc... To get there though you have to first implement custom formulas. it isn't difficult and can be extremely helpful (at least I have found them to be). In case you are interested, here is a link to get you started on that effort (I think it's worth it even if not for this project):
http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/index?rid=/library/uuid/f095592f-42f7-2a10-6ab1-c836a559b48f
So, while the solution could very well be done using a mix of custom formulas and the decision element it is probably best to simplify and use a custom abap program. You have two choices, do this on the ECC side or on BW side.
If done in ECC:
1) Create log table, or utilize existing one
2) Check table... if event has been raised today, then do not raise event again.
If done in BW:
1) Create a chain where starter uses the even and parameter that will be raised from ECC
2) Create a custom ABAP program that checks if the chain has run yet today. If not, it would raise another event to trigger the chain doing the actual processing. If the chain has run today, the event is not raised.
While ECC side may seem simpler, you would be completely reliant on them not accidentally triggering the chain twice in one day. So i would go with doing it on the BW side. You can definitely check if a chain has run today and also if it has finished successfully. Here is a list of some process chain related tables that you may find useful:
RSEVENTCHAIN - Event Chain Processing Event Table
RSEVENTHEAD - Header for the event chain
RSEVENTHEADT - Header for the event chain
RSPCCHAIN - Process chain details
RSPCCHAINATTR - Attributes for a Process Chain
RSPCCHAINEVENTS - Multiple Events with Process Chains
RSPCCHAINT - Texts for Chain
RSPCCOMMANDLOG - System Command Execution Logs (Process Chains)
RSPCLOGCHAIN - Cross-Table Log ID / Chain ID
RSPCLOGS - Application Logs for the Process Chains
RSPCPROCESSLOG - Logs forthe Chain Runs
RSPCRUNVARIABLES - Variables for Process Chains for Runtime
RSPC_MONITOR - Monitorindividual process chains

Master data process chain

Hi All,
I was asked to create masterdata process chain for info objects........WBS element, cost element,project and fund.......
So for these do i need to create process chain for each info object or else i have to create one for each infoobject?
Please post some suggestions and steps.
Regards

Hi Raj........
Yes..........u can include all these three in one Process chain........not a problem.............but obviously it depends on ur requirement......
Look.........for WBS element........there is Attribute,Hierarchy,Text.............for us Attribute is Critical.........so it is getting loaded as a part of a Critical chain..........Hierarchy and Text are included in the same chain............but u can included in one chain...........but remeber..always load in series.........not in parallel.........bcoz.........even attibute,text and hierarchy will lock each other........
cost element also hav Attribute,Hierarchy,Text..........for us it is getting loaded as a part of a FC chain......since it belongs to the FC area.........but u can include this in the same chain........
For project we r loading only text..........now for us it is non critical............we r loading it in the same chain of WBS element......
None of them has any Reference Characteristics............so u just include all of them in a single chain in any sequence......

Debjani.....

Go about creating Process Chains for BW-HCM Implementation.

Dear Experts
We are implementing SAP BW in HCM (HR) module. I am done with Build and would like to create Process Chains.
I have nearly 150 InfoObjects to load Master Data and 15-20 to load Transaction Data. I understand there are certain main Master Data InfoObjects which need be loaded before others and then the Transaction Data into DSOs and InfoCubes.
Questions:
1. Are Hierarchies need to be loaded first of all, if so, can this be done using Process Chain?
2. Which InfoObjects should be loaded before Transaction Data and is this need to be sorted out irrespective of different Functional Areas such as OM, PA, PY, etc?
3. Is it documented anywhere, the sequence of loading Objects in SAP BW-HCM Implementation that l can Benchmark my project to?
Thanks for your time.
Regards,
Chandu

1. Hierarchies can be loaded using the process chain like the other loads..
2. Its specific to the Application in whcih you are working.. Here its HCM related Master data. So list of the main master data elements which are key so that you can load transaction data loads once after the MD loads are done.
3. One way to find the kind of characteristics that you are using in HCM. Also you can verify the kind of Navgational attribuites that you are using at DSO or at CUBE level based on that you can list of the respective master data which needs to be loaded prior to the TD loads.. And also you need to cross verify the existing Rotuines which ever is reding the MD.
For more information you can refer Help.sap.com on HCM application.
Hope this helps..

Process chain infopackage not getting executed.

Hi,
We have a process chain in which one of the element for infopackage is yellow for more than last 5 hrs. On checking batch jobs i can see that job is ready but not getting executed.
I had gone into infopackage and pressed start but still it is showing old status.
I need to understand what is the problem and how it can be resolved ?
Please reply fast.

Hi Babu,
If the data has arrived into BW sysstem and the process chain has stuck. Then you can push the chain ahead of that step. Run the function module RSPC_PROCESS_FINISH in transaction SE38 The field entries required to run this function module can be collected in the table RSPCPROCESSLOG in traction SE16. Just provide the entries "Process Variants" and "Instance ID" and run execute the table and you will get all the required field entries to run the function module. usually give Log id, type, varient, instance id and status in function module and run. this will push ur chain ahead. The entries "Process Variants" and "Instance ID" in the process chain can be collected by right clicking the failed load and click on Chain tab.
Note; The status you have to set to G.
Hope this will help

Transporting Process Chain to Production

Hi all,
We have developed a query on cube 0PS_C04 in development which has been transported to Production.
We also have a process chain in Dev, which loads data from 7 info packages (CO_OM_WBS 1, 2, 3, 5, 6 & CO_OM_NWA_1 & 2).
we need to transport the Process chain into Prod now. The steps followed in BW-Dev are
1. RSA1 -> Transport Connection -> SAP Transport -> Object Types -> Process Chain -> Select Objects
2. Selected Process Chain
3. Created new Transport Request
4. Set Packages
... I am not able to see any elements (ELEM) in the list. None of the items are selected. I feel this is the issue...
I have tgransported the query successfully and am able to generate the report without any data.
My previous transport ended with errors (when I had selected all the packages.
Please let me know whether I am going wrong somewhere or missed any steps.
Warm regards,
Vijay Badgeri

Hi Dinesh,
I have checked 4-5 infopackages in Dev as well as production. They are all available in Prodn. Only descrepancy noticed was the schedule of the upload was different in Dev & Prodn.
Please advice whether I shd create fresh transport request for these infopackages and transport to production ?
If so, what would be its effect on already transported InfoPackage groups and Process chains?
eg. 0BUS_AREA_ATTR & 0BUS_AREA_TEXT were two such ips. They are part of IPG and are working without any errors till date.
Hope, this step will not land me in some other troubles...
Regards,
Vijay

Deleting master data in a process chain via ABAP "RSDMD_DEL_BACKGROUND" ?

I need to delete master data attributes in a process chain.
Since there seems to be no predefined process type for this, I looked for an existing ABAP in the dictionary and found the ABAP report "RSDMD_DEL_BACKGROUND". I plan to call this ABAP in an ABAP-process-step in my process chain.
Unfortunately, I'm not shure how to set the input parameters:
report rsdmd_del_background .
type-pools: rsd, rrsi, rsenq.
parameters: p_iobjnm like rsdiobj-iobjnm obligatory,
            p_chabnm type rsd_s_cha_bas-chabasnm obligatory,
            p_delsid type rs_bool default 'X',
            p_deltxt type rs_bool,
            p_obj    like balhdri-object,
            p_sub    like balhdri-subobject,
            p_ext    like balhdri-extnumber,
            p_noprot type rs_bool.
Can anybody help me, with the settings needed or point out another way to achieve the deletion of master data attributes in a process chain?
Thanks in advance, Frank.

Hi Frank,
as I already suggested in a previous thread, try to look at the FM 'RSDMD_DEL_MASTER_DATA'(in the pgm LRSDMDU12)...but pay attention to the other elements that the system certainly checks in order to complete this type of process !
Hope it helps.
Bye,
Roberto

Delete PSA Using Process Chain

I need to schedule some PSA deletes using a process chain and wanted to make sure I'm doing the right thing.
I have MD 0WBS_ELEMT_ATTR and in RSA1 if I click on "manage" I can see my PSA's that were loaded. Yeah, there were 2 different loads.
If I go to RSPC and create a variant to delete this PSA after its 45 days old I look up the PSA and I see the following:
/BIC/B0000782 Work Breakdown Structure Element (WBS Element)
0WBS_ELEMT_ATTR_DA Work Breakdown Structure Element (WBS Element)
Using se16 looking up this table: /BIC/B0000782000 it looks like it doesn't have any records so my question would be:
Is /BIC/B0000782 the PSA?
What is 0WBS_ELEMT_ATTR_DA?
Thanks,
Mike

OK here are my answers:
1) You seem to be disagreeing. One says use the /BIC/B0000782 the other says use 0WBS_ELEMT_ATTR_DA in the Process Chain.
I used /BIC/B0000782 in the process chain.
2) When I look up 0WBS_ELEMT in table RSTSODS using the ODSNAME I see:
ODSNAME VERSION DATETO DATEFROM OBJSTAT ODSNAME_TECH
0WBS_ELEMT_ATTR_DA 000 9999/01/01 1998/01/01 ACT /BIC/B0000900000
0WBS_ELEMT_TEXT_DB 000 9999/01/01 1998/01/01 ACT /BIC/B0000541000
these are the internal tables for the transfer rules I guess
3) /BIC/B0000900000 is the internal table for 0WBS_ELEMT_ATTR_DA correct?
yes
4) /BIC/B0000782 which I saw when I was looking up the PSA entry for 0WBS_ELEMT_ATTR is the internal table for the PSA?
yes
5) Still confusing is that neither /BIC/B0000782000 or /BIC/B0000900000 has any records.
/BIC/B0000782000 must be the default table for the PSA, and /BIC/B0000782001 did have the same number of records I saw on RSA1 (Manage), and /BIC/B0000900000 is the internal table for the rules
so we are all good!

Process Chain comparison

Hello All,
There is one process chain in development system as well as in production system also.
but there is some changes directly made in production system not in development system.
So i want to check changes.
It is very big chain a lot of local chain is used. So very difficult to check every element and technical name of infopack and all.
Is there any method to compare these process chain in different system(development and production).
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Naveen

Hi Naveen,
There is no tool but you can do workaround..take dump of process chain tables in both the system in excel.and then using vlookup you can findout the diffrence.
please try..hope it will save your time.

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
