Process chain--how to schedule the variant even if there is no repeat opt.

Hello Gurus,
Can anybody help me out like the issue was...
when monitoring the process-chain,the variant-load infopackage was successfully completed the status was green,and next to that there was a update from the PSA variant and then to that there is a ATTR.chane run variant,process chain strucked at these two variants.when i look into that there was no repeat option on both the variants. so how could i schedule that from at that point.
Thanks in advance for the solution!

Dilip

Hi Dilip,
You have to do the remaining process steps manually.
If the the failed process step is loading proces step, then make the QM status of that upload to Red and then refresh the process chain.. Some times you will get the repeate option with that.
Or else end the process as described below:
When ever the load fails in a process chain we need to check whether its a load error or a non-load error. For load we need to rectifie the error manually nd need to run the program which is given SAP SE38.
RSPC_PROCESS_FINISH for this we need to pass some parameters.
like process chain name. variant, instance and the status. Here status we will give as 'G'. so that chain can identify that the previous process has been successful nd run the remaining processes automatically.

Hi Suresh,
If you want to change in the Production system, you may not have the Authorizations. If you have authorization;
1. Goto RSPC-->double click on the Process chain
2. double click on the Start variant of the process chain-->Click on the EDIT button
3. Click on the CHANGE SELECTIONS then click on the DATE/TIME Tab;
4. There pls give from which date this process chain has to run to with your requirement time,
then give the time and select the periodic job and select with your requirement.
Save and exit.
It is done!!
Hope you understood.

First of all you need to Identify the InfoObjects if you want to take up Master Data Loads, and if you want take up transaction loads then select the Data Targets to which the data has to be updated. Then plan the dataflow accordingly.
You want to create a Process Chain, Go to RSPC, and then select the create option and from the Process categories available on the left handside drag and drop the Start process, then define the Variant for the same. In the same way you need to identify the other Process Types available on the lefthand side. For Eg: Start Process>Load to ODS>Activation of ODS Data>Delete Indexes for the InfoCube>Load to InfoCube>Create Indexes>Delete Overlapping Req-->Agg. Rollup.
This is how you need to specify the dataflow, several other Process Types also included based on the requirement For Eg: Sending Mail Alerts when the Job is Success or Terminated.
Also, have a look at this links to make urself clear about the steps in creating Process Chain.

From days 28 to 5 of each month I need to run every hour.
From days 6 to 27 of each month I need to run every four hour.
I have BW 3.5
Do you have any idea How I could do that?.

Process chain 3 times schedule a day

Hi Experts,
In my requirement is to schedule the process chain 3 times a day but different times like 5am, 12pm, and 4pm.
Could you please anyone reply to step by step procedure.
Advance thanks
Regards,
Sathis

Hi,
1)You can make the process chain to be trigered by an event.
You create user events in SM62. In SM62, next to "User even names", click on Maintain and press Enter. Click on the Create icon to create a new event (let's call it ZEVENT).
Next, in your process chain, change the Start variant to be scheduled "After event", and put in ZEVENT for the event name. Also, click on the "Periodic job" at the bottom. This will automatically reschedule the jobs for the process chain after it executes.
Next, create an ABAP program (let's call it Z_EVENT_RAISE) to call the function module BP_EVENT_RAISE. You're code can look like this:
codeREPORT Z_EVENT_RAISE.
PARAMETERS: P_EVENT LIKE TBTCO-EVENTID.
CALL FUNCTION 'BP_EVENT_RAISE'
EXPORTING
EVENTID = P_EVENT.
IF sy-subrc 0.
MESSAGE ID SY-MSGID TYPE SY-MSGTY NUMBER SY-MSGNO
WITH SY-MSGV1 SY-MSGV2 SY-MSGV3 SY-MSGV4.
ENDIF.[/code]
This ABAP program will prompt for an event name, so you will need to create a variant (let's call it ZEVENT) which will save the value of the event name (also ZEVENT). You will need the variant name to be able to trigger the event in a batch job.
Now all you need is the batch job. Use tcode SM36 to create a batch job where you call the ABAP program (Z_EVENT_RAISE) using the variant (ZEVENT).
Note, SM64 only triggers an event manually.
and you can copy this job to schedule it three times a day.
2)In the Start process of your process chain, select Direct Scheduling and then click the Change Selections icon. This will bring you to the Start Time window where you can put in the Date/Time you want to start your process chain. At the bottom of this window, click on the Periodic job box and you will notice another icon way at the bottom called Period Values. Click this to determine what frequency the job should be rescheduled (ie. daily, weekly, etc.).
3)you can do this by right-clicking on the start process, selection "Maintain Variant", choose "Direct Scheduling". Next select "Change Selections", pick your date and time, set your period values and you're done.
Hope this helps.

How to delete the Variants?.

Hi Friends,
I have created Variants for MD process chains to be scheduled perodically. There are about 5 Process chains and for each process chain i have created a variant in SE38 , and i have scheduled each of them in the background job periodically.
Now I have to create a Variant only for Meta chain, i have done that. But i need to delete the Variants for each of those process chains which i have created. How to delete the Variants?.
Can anyone please help me.
Thanks in Advance.
BN

You can delete variant from process chain with the below ways...
U can delete variants from table RSPCVARIANT (also see RSPCVARIANTATTR).
OR
If u wanted delete complete process chain (including process variant), U can delete PC from table RSPCCHAIN (see also RSPCVARIANTATTR)
OR
You can find Delete Feature in the Variant Itself. Open a variant - Delete
OR
when you edit the process chain, right click on the process and select maintain variant. On the next screen you have a delete button.
OR
you can use debugging to delete the variant if you are good at ABAP.
Thanks,
Saveen Kumar

Infopackage in process chain is not scheduling

Hi All
One of infopackage in process chain is not scheduling and showing error message like "<b>Attributes are not yet maintained
Entire chain now has status 'R'</b>
what do we mean about this
can anyone will let me know in detail and how to correct this?
Regards
balaji

Hi balaji,
how big is your process chain ? I got a similar problem when I build a metachain with a lot of processes in the chain (more than 60). In this case, the error message is deceiving. If your process chain has similar numbers of processes, check OSS 942804 (Jobcount handling).
Kind regards,
Jürgen

Can we stop the process chain in middle of the process ?

hi experts,
Can we stop the process chain in middle of the process after scheduled.
my process chain is like start--->load>psa>ods1-->further updates--->ods2. In this case I have already scheduled but i want to stop the process how can i. After rectifying the error I want to restart again.
if it is possible what are the steps we fallow pl give me step by step procedure.
thanks & regards.
venkat

stopping the process chain is pretty simple. you just need to kill the jobs associated to them as mentioned by other folks.
for restarting, have a look at this blog.

there he explains how to restart a stopped process chain.

Process Chain - How to make decision based on data in PSA and execute DTP

Need to create process in Process Chain, which will execute the DTP based on data in PSA.
Say we have two DSO A & B, both getting data from same datasource.
In process chain, we need to read data in one of the date field in PSA and make a decision, which DTP to get execute in process chain.
Say if date field contains year = 2000, than load to DSO A, if year is 2001, load data to DSO B.
Suggest the solution. ...

Hi,
Tyr this steps.
1) Develop ABAP process types
ABAP report to read PSA data using function module
Trigger events based on year
event1 -> for even year data
event2 -> for add year data
2) Develop local process chains for each DTPs and schdule it with events mentioned above.

How to schedule the background job daily twice?

Hi,
How to schedule the background job daily twice? any conditions?
Regards,
Srihitha

see the step by step procedure.
Scheduling Background Jobs:
1. Background jobs are scheduled by Basis administrators using transaction SM36.
2. To run a report in a background, a job needs to be created with a step using the report name
and a variant for selection parameters. It is recommended to create a separate variant for each
scheduled job to produce results for specific dates (e.g. previous month) or organizational units (e.g.
company codes).
3. While defining the step, the spool parameters needs to be specified
(Step-> Print Specifications->Properties) to secure the output of the report and help authorized users
to find the spool request. The following parameters needs to be maintained:
a. Time of printing: set to Send to SAP spooler Only for now
b. Name abbreviated name to identify the job output
c. Title free form description for the report output
d. Authorization a value defined by Security in user profiles to allow those users to access
this spool request (authorization object S_SPO_ACT, value SPOAUTH). Only users with matching
authorization value in their profiles will be able to see the output.
e. Department set to appropriate department/functional area name. This field can be used in
a search later.
f. Retention period set to Do not delete if the report output needs to be retained for more
than 8 days. Once the archiving/document repository solution is in place the spool requests could
be automatically moved to the archive/repository. Storage Mode parameter on the same screen
could be used to immediately send the output to archive instead of creating a spool request.
Configuring user access:
1. To access a report output created by a background job, a user must have at
least access to SP01 (Spool requests) transaction without restriction on the user
name (however by itself it will not let the user to see all spool requests). To have
that access the user must have S_ADMI_FCD authorization object in the profile with
SPOR (or SP01) value of S_ADMI_FCD parameter (maintained by Security).
2. To access a particular jobs output in the spool, the user must have
S_SPO_ACT object in the profile with SPOAUTH parameter matching the value used
in the Print Specifications of the job (see p. 3.d above).
3. Levels of access to the spool (display, print once, reprint, download, etc) are
controlled by SPOACTION parameter of S_SPO_ACT. The user must have at least
BASE access (display).
On-line reports:
1. Exactly the same configuration can be maintained for any output produced
from R/3. If a user clicks Parameters button on a SAP Printer selection dialog, it
allows to specify all the parameters as described in p. 3 of
Scheduling background jobs section. Thus any output created by an online report
can be saved and accessed by any user authorized to access that spool request
(access restriction provided by the Authorization field of the spool request
attributes, see p. 3.d of Scheduling background jobs section).
Access to reports output:
1. A user that had proper access (see Configuring user access above) can
retrieve a job/report output through transaction SP01.
2. The selection screen can be configured by clicking Further selection
criteria button (e.g. to bring Spool request name (suffix 2) field or hide other
fields).
3. The following fields can be used to search for a specific output (Note that
Created By must be blank when searching for scheduled jobs outputs)
a. Spool request name (suffix 2) corresponds to a spool name in p. 3.b in
Scheduling background jobs section above).
b. Date created to find an output of a job that ran within a certain date range.
c. Title corresponds to spool Title in p. 3.c in Scheduling background jobs
section above).
d. Department - corresponds to spool Department in p. 3.e in Scheduling
background jobs section above).
4. Upon entering selection criteria, the user clicks the Execute button to
retrieve the list of matching spool requests.
5. From the spool list the user can use several function such as view the
content of a spool request, print the spool request, view attributed of the spool
request, etc. (some functions may need special authorization, see p.3 in
Configuring user access)
a. Click the Print button to print the spool request with the default attributes
(usually defined with the job definition). It will print it on a printer that was
specified when a job was created.
b. Click the Print with changed attributed button to print the spool request
with the different attributes (e.g. changing the printer name).
c. Click the Display contents button to preview the spool request contents. A
Print and Download functions are available from the preview mode.

Did you read DBMS_SCHEDULER docs:
The calendaring syntax does not allow you to specify a time zone. Instead the Scheduler retrieves the time zone from the start_date argument. If jobs must follow daylight savings adjustments you must make sure that you specify a region name for the time zone of the start_date. For example specifying the start_date time zone as 'US/Eastern' in New York will make sure that daylight saving adjustments are automatically applied. If instead the time zone of the start_date is set to an absolute offset, such as '-5:00', daylight savings adjustments are not followed and your job execution will be off by an hour half of the year.
When start_date is NULL, the Scheduler will determine the time zone for the repeat interval as follows:
It will check whether the session time zone is a region name. The session time zone can be set by either:
Issuing an ALTER SESSION statement, for example:
SQL> ALTER SESSION SET time_zone = 'Asia/Shanghai';
Setting the ORA_SDTZ environment variable.
If the session time zone is an absolute offset instead of a region name, the Scheduler will use the value of the DEFAULT_TIMEZONE Scheduler attribute. For more information, see the SET_SCHEDULER_ATTRIBUTE Procedure.
If the DEFAULT_TIMEZONE attribute is NULL, the Scheduler will use the time zone of systimestamp when the job or window is enabled.
