Process Chain - Email Messaging

Hi Gurus,
We have implemented the Process chain with Email messages (Success or Failure). We are getting the entire log message of the process chain instead of just 1 line message (Load of 0FIAP is success).
Is there a way to suppress the message when it send the email.
Please advise.
Thanks. Gowda.

I personally like to receive all of that data if I need to look at it. So, what I do instead is have a meaningful header/title for the message. Something like <system>: <success/fail>: <chain name>.
So, if I was in production (system BWP), with chain ZBW_MASTER_DATA and it ran successfully, I would see an e-mail titled:
BWP: Success: ZBW_MASTER_DATA.
With this, I know the message came from BWP, the chain ran successfully and it was ZBW_MASTER_DATA.
No need to look at the message at all. Unless I received BWP: Fail: ZBW_MASTER_DATA!
Sorry, I didn't answer your question, but I hope I made your life easier in the long run!

Display Source System Name in Process Chain Email

We would like to show the source system name (QA, Prod, etc) in the email subject when process chain messages are emailed so we can easily discern between production messages and messages from our test system. There doesn't appear to be a straightforward way to do this.
I have seen a Re: Howto Insert System ID into Process Chain Email Message which discussed this topic and offered 2 potential solutions neither of which work for us:
1. Open the production system and modify the messsage directly in the production system
2. Edit the First & Last Name of the sending user in the production system (does not work for us because we use central user administration)
Can anyone suggest another method of accomplishing this requirement?

we achieved it by changing text of [email protected] from 'BIWREMOTE' to BIP BIWREMOTE'....so in our mails even though mail id is same, but it display it for us as BIP.
Just go for user BIWREMOTE, and change format field with whatever name you wanna recieve mail. It should work properly.

Process chain - send message (email) title replaced by variant

Dear all,
On a process chain I have created a message (to send email) after a process is sucessfully completed. However, the Title I have defined on the message get overloaded by the Variant. When I save the message seems fine but when I get back to it the title was changed again. This seems to be a system error but I have failed to find an OSS note so far. Any Ideas?

Unable to get process chain successful messages via custom program

Hi all,
I am executing a process chain both from the custom program and RSPC transaction. A message is supposed to generate for all the successful executions. The problem is I'm getting the message via email while executing it via RSPC transaction. But while executing it from the custom program I cant get the messages though the process chain has run successfully. I'm using the FM RSPC_API_CHAIN_START where the synchronous and noplan parameters are checked to suppress the server name and priority pop-ups . Following is the code for reference,
CALL FUNCTION 'RSPC_API_CHAIN_START'
       EXPORTING
      i_chain            = l_chain
      i_synchronous      = c_x
      i_noplan           = c_x
      IMPORTING
        e_logid          = l_userid
      EXCEPTIONS
        failed           = 1
        OTHERS           = 2
Please suggest if someone has any idea in how to do it. Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Debapriya

Debug and check what values you are getting at Exceptions.
or you can use RSPC_CHAIN_START instead RSPC_API_CHAIN_START.
or you can get the status of process chain using FM RSPC_API_CHAIN_GET_STATUS or table RSPCPROCESSLOG.

Process chain email alert issue

Hi,
I'm working with BASIS to get the email alert for Process chains working.
We've done the following so far:
1. Created a mail exchange group "SAP BW" with all required email addresses
2. In the Process chain, created a message variant and assigned the above private distribution list
3. BASIS configured SMTP in SCOT to reference the correct port and mail path
4. In SU01, Security added email addresses which were missing earlier for everyone in the distribution list
5. BASIS scheduled a job to run every 5 minutes to collect and send emails
I just ran a test process chain and failed a few loads. However, none of us are getting emails in our inbox. What step are we missing? Is there anything else we should be looking at?
Thanks,
Pooja.

few more things to check
1. Is the mail sent from SO01 working correctly?
2. Are the mails sent getting accumulated and seen in SCOT transaction queue?
3. Did you try using Individual addresses instead of distribution list?
These might help in boiling down to the actual problem though may not solve it. good luck!

Process chain status message in the custom screen.

HI All,
We have created a custom screen for hierarchy upload in BW once the file has been uploaded it will trigger an event which is triggering a process chain. The process happen like
Upload the file from desktop it will go and sit in al11 folder
Trigger an event which will trigger the process chain
Infopackge routine has been written which will download the file for al11.Please find the attached screenshot is for your reference.
Once the DTP has been completed we need to trigger a message which will tell us the status of the DTP like finished successfully or not. This message should have to show in the custom screen which we have provided to the customer.
We are aware of mail recipient list option. Please suggest further options
Many thank sin advance.
Regards,
Sakthivel S

Hi Appana,
Yes, we can identify any screen changes from sy-datar. It is set when I make any changes in the custom screen also. But I dont want to give a pop up every time I leave the custom screen. I want to give raise a pop up for saving the delivery document just like any other SAP screen (For eg. SAP Screens do not give a pop up when we move from one screen to another screen, but it gives a pop up if we try to do a subsequent functions like picking without saving the changes in delivery).
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

Process Chain - dynamic email recipients

Hi
I know process chain maintain message to send out email upon success/ failure. BUT I wanted to know if there is a way to send out email based on the person who stream the process chain run? I could only hardcode the recipient for internet address eg. [email protected] or use distribution list.

Carolina,
Thanks fr your reply. I have done sending exception reports to sap users, but, I had to mention the users in the email recipient list. Here, in this scenario, I dont know the email recipients list, since this list depends on the exception report. Only the users having the exceptional sales values need to get the email not everyone.
because of this, the recipient list will vary everyday based on the exceptional values.
solution ?

Error in process chain :hierarchy

Hi,
I am working in BI 7.0..i am getting the following error in DTP Process of process chain
Error Message:Node ID 1 occurs more than once in the hierarchy table.
Please guide me how to solve.
Regards,
Visali.G

Hi Vaisali,
Your question is not clear, can you please tell us at what level the you are getting this perticular error in the Process chain.
To the extent that i understood is that when you try to put the DTP while you create the process chain.
If this is correct then i feel like that you are trying to insert the same DTP twice in creation of the process chain.
And more over change the display to Graphical mode rather that the Netwok mode while you display the Process chain in RSPC T-code.
Best Regards,
VNK.

BI Content 7.57 SP4 Activating Process Chain

Hi,
I am trying to activate a process chain from BI content . My source system is ERP 6.0. While collecting objects for activating this Process Chain BW gives an errors. It says some of DTP and Transformations are missing. I have put two of the errors are at below.
When i search these missing objects on the BI content these objects are not exist. Also on the BW system they are not exist. I could not find any solution for this problem.
Can you please show me a way for solving this. I am stuck on this.

Hello experts

And also i am not able to see BI_CONT in imported packages list.

Why the process chain always run twice when triggered from R3?

I run a program from R3 by calling the remote function 'RSSM_EVENT_RAISE' on BW to trigger an event and in turn the event on BW bring up the running of a process chain. But whenever I run the program on R3 to bring up the running of the process chain, I find the process chain always run twice at the same time. Does anybody knows the answer?
And also I would like to know the functionalities of the two picture buttons "Activate" and "Activate and Schedule" in process chain. In which case the "Activate" button should be used and in which case, the "Activate and Schedule" button should be used? If we click the Start variant of a process chain, then click "Change Selections" button which bring up the window "Start Time" where the buttons "Immediate", "Date/Time", "After job", and "After event" are listed at the top. If we modify at any of the above buttons, then after save this modification, we will have to click "Activate and Schedule" button to make it work, right?
Thanks a lot and everyone's idea is greatly appreciated!

Kevin, make sure there is only one job scehduled for the Start Process of your Process Chain. If you bring up the Process Chain (not the log view), right click on the Start Process and select "Displaying Scheduled Job(s)...". There should only be one scheduled job with name BI_PROCESS_TRIGGER. If there is more than one, then when triggered, it would execute more than once at the same time. If there is only one job, then maybe your R/3 program is triggering the event more than once?
As far as the Start conditions for the Start Process, it works off the same principals as a scheduled job. These start conditions determine when or how the Process Chain is to be executed. You also have control over frequency. These start conditions determine the scheduling of the Start Process of your Process Chain.
When you schedule a Process Chain, a separate scheduled job is created for "each" process in the Chain. BW controls the triggering of these jobs based upon how the processes in the Chain are linked. All the jobs associated with Process Chains have strict naming conventions and all begin with BI_PROCESS_... If you use SM37 to view all jobs that begin with BI_PROCESS_ you will find alot of scheduled jobs associated with your process chains. Each job represents one of the processes within your process chains.
Does this help?
Another tip might be to trigger the event manually in BW (use tx SM64). If the process chain executes twice again, then maybe there is a separate scheduled job in BW that triggers the process chain that is triggered by the same event as the start process of the process chain.

Change on process chain not visible in display mode after transport

All,
We have changed a process chain where message notification was active in development.
We have deleted the notification and created a transport. This has been released and implemented into the QA system without a problem.
When displaying the new process chain in QA the change was not visible. But in change mode it is.
Can anyone tell us what might be a cause/solution for this? Also for future changes.
Gui error??
Thanks in advance.

hi,
Try activating the PC again in the QA.
if still it does reflect the message notification, then try creating the request again
in DEV and transport.
make sure you r out of the Process chains in DEV nad QA when transport happens.
This is just a practice.
Regards,
Dhanya.

SM37 for process chains

I want to check the runtime of process chain, but I dont know what to enter the job name in sm37? From where can I get the job name?

Unfortunately, there is no one job for the process chain. Each process in the chain is a separate batch job and is named BI_PROCESS_xxxxxx where xxxxxx represents the type of process. For example, BI_PROCESS_LOADING is an infopackage, BI_PROCESS_TRIGGER is the start process, BI_PROCESS_ABAP is an ABAP process, etc.
There is no one place to go to get the run time of a process chain. For that, you need to be a little creative. Try this link to get one way:
Any transaction to see all the InfoPackage run time in a Process Chain?
