Process chain-Further Update

Process Chain
I need to modify the current process chain
Our current Data Flow
ODS ( Full)---> Cube ( Delta)
Our Current Process Chain Chain
Executing a Info Package ( Full load to ODS) and next process Activate ODS Data and the next process is 'Further Update ' in that they gave ODS name,The ODS to which load is Full
What i understand is the further process will process data to the target mentioned in maintain variant screen to all targets with active update rules .
Please confirm

The Further Processing in Process Chians is what triggers the load to any connected data targets. The targets to be loaded are determeined by what is selected in the InfoPackage. You should have a system generated InfoPkg.
Paolo is talking about the PSA processing option which is something completely different, but unfortunately, uses similar wording.

Process Chain - Further Processing

Hi all,
Im facing with the following doubt in Process Chain:
I have an ODS that then update the information in other ODS:
1.Load Data (this IP load the data in the First ODS)
2.Activate Data (activate Data in the first ODS)
3.Further Processing
Here is my doubt, as far as i know the "Further Processing" update the data in the data Target, buy my question is :
Do i have to configure something in order to update the data in the other ODS ? or this steps is automatic ?
Because if i click in "Mantain Variant" (in further processing) appears a screen that shows:
Object type: ODS Object
OBject Name: OR_DSF01 (this is the first ODS, not the target ODS)
Do i have to configure something here?
Thanks in advanced , i really appreciate your help

I think that's better to add an other step in chain loading the 2nd ODS....
... but if you need absolutely to automate:
on th 1st ODS ->modify->settings->chek "Update data targets from ODS object automatically" .
I don't know if the chain inhibits this setting and you're obliged to add a step to the chain for further load.
try and good luck!

Process chain for updating a cube with last month's data everyday.

Hi everybody,
I need a suggestion on designing the process chain. I have the cube Zxx_xx. I will explain my requirement with an example. Suppose I uploaded the cube with data up to 201103. Each night in May, I want to upload the cube with April's data. So each night the previous request should be deleted. When May finishes, this time, each night I need to upload the cube with May's data. I handled everything except deleting the data from PSA. I need the data loaded in the cube stay at PSA. In this case the request including data till 201103, the request loaded for April, and finally in June, I need to see the request loaded for May. In the last step of the process chain I added the process for deleting PSA data choosing my infosource, but I have no option for deleting the requests where I have uploaded from same infopackage with same selections. Please help handling this situation.
thanks in advance.
Yasemin.

hi,
You can achieve this by loading the cube through two different DTP's.
DTP1 to have in the routine to pick data for month-2 i.e. in june it picks up April data.
DTP2 to restrict the month in routine to month-1 i.e. in june it picks up May data.
Now the design of process chain will be as follows:
process chain to have an step "Decision Between Multiple Alternatives "
in this decision step you can write formula to check if sy-datum is 01, first of every month.
if step: formula
( RIGHT( 2, Current Date ) = '01' )
On first of every month load for month-2 as well as month-1 and delete overlapping request for month-1. Variant described below. DTP1, DTP2 and then Delete overlapping request step
Else part of Decision Between Multiple Alternatives will be executed for all other days
load only month-1 and delete overlapping request from cube. DTP2 and then Delete overlapping request step.
in the pc there is variant "Delete overlapping request"
in that choose variant type DTP, give the technical name of DTP2 and save it.
this way the whole data loading will be automated and you need not intervene to delete data manually,

Arvind.

Further update to data targtes process type

Hi all,
Could anyone let me know what is the advantage of using the process type "further update to data target".Instead of this we can use the infopackge process type directly.
please let me know
Thanks,
Manjula

Purpose
If you have loaded data into a DataStore object, you can use this DataStore object as the source for another InfoProvider. To do this, the data must be active. Use process chains to ensure that one process has ended before any subsequent processes are triggered.
1. Activating the DataStore object data: The data is in the activation queue. When you activate the data, the change log is filled with the data required for a delta update, and the data appears in the table of active data.
2. Updating the data to the connected InfoProviders: Using the transformation rules, the change log data (the delta) that has not yet been processed is updated to other InfoProviders. The data is already available in a cleansed and consolidated format.

Process chain - How to correct?

Hi friends,
i have a process chain which failed at process LOAD INFOPACKAGE . subsequent to this process is UPDATE FROM PSA. .
we loaded the infopackage manually and tried to repeat the Update from PSA , but it got failed.
I have done any mistake in repeating the process update from PSA.??
plz tell me what should i do in this case.
regards,
Pavan

Dear Pavan,
When you repeated the process chain from update PSA step, it will take the failed instance of 'LOAD INFOPACKAGE' step. So it will fail only. Now what you can do is you can manually make this update PSA step green.
Follow these steps:
> GO to failed step, right click say maintain variant.
> go to tab chain
> open se11, table-rspcprocesslog, display list
> copy variant, instance, date from chain to respective fields of this table
> execute
> open se38, Program-rspc_process_finish
> copy everything (variant, log-id, instance, date) which has copied earlier and write status as G.
> execute
> Refresh the chain
After doing this your update PSA will become green and process chain will continue further.
Hope this helps.
Thanks,
Nabha

Process Chain Issue Help needed!!!!!!!!!

Hi all,
Please help me in creating process chains, Requirement is
Process Chain1
Infosource --> ODS1 (Delta Load) From ODS1 --> Cube 1 (Delta Load)
Process Chain 2
from same above ODS1 --> ODS2(Full Load) and ODS2 --> Cube2(full Load)
What is the sequential flow?
I created the chain 1 as
Delete Index(Cube) > Infopacakge from Infosource to ODS1> Activate ODS1 > Update ODS1-> Generate Index(Cube).
For Chain 2
Delete Index(Cube) > Infopacakge from Infosource to ODS1> Activate ODS1 > Update ODS1->Activate ODS2 > Update ODS2> Generate Index(Cube).
My question is for Chain1 from ODS1 it should be Delta and for chain2 from ODS1 it should be full load,
i have chacked the ODS1(8ODS1) infopackages the full load infopackage data target is ODS2 and Delta Load data Target is Cube1.
Thanks in Advance,
Sudha.

Below..i believe is a better design for the process chains..
Chain 1
Start variant> Infopacakge from Infosource to ODS1> Activate ODS1 --> Delete Index(Cube) >Update ODS1-> Generate Index(Cube).
(drop cube indexes just before cube gets loaded)
Chain 2
Start variant> <b>Infopacakge from Infosource to ODS1> Activate ODS1</b> > Update ODS1->Activate ODS2--> Delete Index(Cube) > Update ODS2> Generate Index(Cube).
(i think we can remove 2 steps(in bold)..right?ODS1 already got loaded in first chain..just we need to keep dependency that 2nd chain runs after the 1st chain has run)..
U can have a 3rd chain..a meta chain like..
start variantchain 1chain 2..
(for both chain 1 and chain 2..i mean the local chains...set start variant parameter as 'start using meta chain or API)..
doing so..chain 2 will kick off only after chain 1 is successfully run..
(also check if the process type 'further update from ODS to data targets..allows you to choose data targets..and choose full/delta..i doubt it..
if it doesnt allow..then place the infopackage steps instead of this 'further update' process..i have done this earlier..)

Error while creating a process chain

Hello BI Gurus,
I have activated the Business Content Scenario in Plant Maintenance for Infocube 0PM_C08(Measurement Results).
It provides a datasource -> infocube flow,through DSO with transfer and update rules.(3.X scenario)
I have two questions -
1.When I am trying to create a process chain for this scenario for regular delta loads(Loading from the datasource - > DSO - > infocube),
Start - >Execute InfoPackage->Activate DSO Data ->
Then when i insert the Execute Infopackage for the load step from DSO to Infocube in the process chain and check it, it is giving an error saying "InfoPackage ZPAK_D50AJ26831X6L4IIOTZTSXWAE is generated; NOT able to be used as loading variant ".
I got this infopackage by right clicking on the context menu and going to Additional Functions -> Update 3.x data to Data targets.
Why am I getting this error and how to resolve it, bcos when i load it manually it is working fine?
2.If the error is because I did not use a infopack created by me, then how to create a infopack for loading to the infocube from DSO in BI7, because when i select from the Context Menu for creating infopack, it is taking me to the already generated IP ?
Also instead of using the 3.X mechanisms, if I decide to create a DTP, will the transformation created with it automatically map all the rules in the "Update Rules" for all fields?
Waiting for your guidance.
With Warm Regards,
Vineeth

Trigger an ABAP program through a Process Chain

Hi,
I have an ABAP program as part of my Process Chain that updates the BW Hierarchy OREGH.
However I can't get the program to execute through the chain, even the though chains goes all green. without any REDS anywhere along the chain.
When I check if the program has made the desired changes in the tables it hasn't.
If I run the program using SE38 it works fine and in seconds.
Is there a parameter setting I have to set in the process chain or within the program itself.Tthe program is active.
Ive checked many of the posts about this issue but couldn't find a someone experiencing a similar problem.
Please Help
Thanks
Amir

Remove that ABAP program from the Process Chain and activate. Leave RSPC screen.
Re-enter to RSPC, and add that program by creating a new variant with following options:
Call Mode : Synchronous
Call From : Local
Check and Activate process chain.

Process Chain Component for Deleting Openhub Destination

I have an openhub that places the results of a DSO on AL11.
I created / scheduled a process chain for updating the file.
I'd like to modify the process chain and add a step to delete the file on AL11 before I run the DTP.
Is this possible?
Mike

Hi
Can achieve this with ABAP Process -- by calling FM -- EPS_DELETE_FILE (or) Command delete dataset file.
Basis Team can also help via writing Unix script which can be executed via SM49 to delete the File.
To access the file..
*-c list in time order.
CONCATENATE 'ls -c' p_fin INTO w_list_commandin
SEPARATED BY space.
CONCATENATE w_list_commandin '/.' INTO w_list_commandin.
CALL unix list command - will populate itab_file_list ITAB
CALL 'SYSTEM' ID 'COMMAND' FIELD w_list_commandin ID 'TAB'
FIELD it_file_list-sys.
To delete..
Remove the file once it is processed
CONCATENATE 'rm' it_file_list-file_name
INTO w_runcmd SEPARATED BY space.
send command to unix to move item file
CALL 'SYSTEM' ID 'COMMAND' FIELD w_runcmd.
Hope it helps

Process Chain Abap conditions

Hi experts!
We currently have a situation where by we need to update an end to end loading status table. This loading status table is a customize table that contains our datastage extraction status as well as its corresponding process chain load status.
We thought of writing an ABAP program and put it in the beginning of the process chain to update this loading status table inorder to do so we need to know the current process chain that is triggered and indicate it has commenced. So the question is do you all know what is the FM or program that captures the process chain ID and its details and write it into the standard RSPC Log tables?
Do note that it should be able to handle simultaneous trigger of the process chain.

Hi,
Try this :
REPORT ZPCNEW.
TABLES : RSPCLOGCHAIN.
DATA : IT_tab TYPE TABLE OF RSPCLOGCHAIN,
WA_tab TYPE RSPCLOGCHAIN.
FIELD-SYMBOLS <fs> LIKE LINE OF it_tab.
PARAMETERS :LV_CHAIN type RSPCLOGCHAIN-CHAIN_ID.
select * from RSPCLOGCHAIN into table it_tab
where CHAIN_ID = LV_CHAIN
and DATUM = sy-datum.
SORT it_tab DESCENDING BY DATUM ZEIT.
Read table it_tab INDEX 1 ASSIGNING <fs>.
IF sy-subrc = 0.
if <fs>-ZEIT < sy-uzeit.

Hi
It seems you used infopack when you select update data inot datatarget then system prompts you a infopack.That's the infopack which is generated by system being used in process chain variant to update data into datatarget.
Create new infopack/ DTP manually then use that infoapck/DTP on the process chain variant then try.

Process Chain problem related to Update ODS Object Data (Further Update)

In the process chain, the data is loaded to an ODS first then feed to an InfoCube by kind of data mart load. But when checking the process chain, getting yellow warning msg:
A type "Update ODS Object Data (Further Update)" process has to follow process "Activate ODS Object Data" var.our_infopackage_name in the chain
Message no. RSMPC016
If we add the variant "Update ODS Object Data (Further Update) after the activation of the ODS and before the InfoPackage to feed data to the cube, then another yellow warning shows up for the InfoPackage of loading data to the InfoCube that says the Update variant can not be before the loading to this Cube and etc.
What should we do to have the problem resolved?
Thanks

hey Dinesh,
How to have a wait time for the load to the cube?
I've given you "Very helpful" rewarding points and after you give the answer to the above, I will give you the "Solve problem" rewarding points.

PSA Further Update on Process Chain

I am trying to use PSA Further update step on a process chain. I noticed that everytime I use this step it is using only one BTC procssors to load the data into datatarget.
On the other hand If I have an Infopackage set to PSA and DATATARGET parallel (2nd option in the Procss tab of IP) in the process chain the load is able to use same number of DIA process as the number of Data Packets. We have over 400 DIA processors available.
My question is can I able to use multiple DIA processes if I use PSA Further Update step?
Thanks
haran

Haran
I don't think it is using only one DIA for complete process chain. May be for the start processing it is using one DIA and after infopackage loading is started loads will split as per availability of servers and apparantly various DIA's. In general this is how it works.

Updating an existing process chains created in 3.5 upgraded to 7.0

I added DTP's to my process chain, see below process.
1) Load Inventory data to PSA (R3 to BI)
2) Run ODS DTP
3) Activate ODS
4A) Run DTP to Cube (If I add this, it works, but the Process Chain shows warning, must have Further processing before DTP to Cube.) Is a warning okay?
4B) Run Further Processing (Data Store object, ODS_BF). The Process chain check shows no warning, no error. But, when the process chain is executed, this last process executes DTP to the cube and also executes the Info Package from BI to BW (8ODS). We are not using the Info Package of BI to BW at this time, we did not migrate this info package.
Please help me understand how this should work.
Thanks,
Maximina Barry

Warning is okay but its no harm to have " Further Processing " in ur chain.
1. Start
2. Execute Infopackage ( loads till psa )
3.Execute DTP ( to load DSO frm PSA )
4.Activate DSO
5.Further Processing
6.Delete Indexes for Cube
7.Execute DTP ( to load Cube frm DSO )
8.Create Indexes for Cube
Infopackages n DTPs shud all be delta in update type.
<b>Delete n Creating Indexes if preffered for performance.</b>
