Process chain hungs if run automatically

Hello
My process chain hungs (yellow status) if its run automatically by scheduler.
However, it completes succesfully if I run it manually.
Do you know any reason why?

Hey,
Probably the PC start job gets released and never reaches the work processor. Please check the availability of work processors when the PC starts and try to see if the job gets into released state. Now, try to manually schedule this job immediately and see if the PC starts. If this is the case, you need to ask your basis guys to configure the system properly. Does this happen with som other jobs also?
Thanks and Regards

  • HOW TO STOP THE PROCESS CHAIN WHICH IS RUNNING IN THE PRODUCTION?

    HI ALL,
    CAN ANYONE TELL ME HOW TO STOP THE PROCESS CHAIN WHICH IS RUNNING DAILY AT 5.00 PM. I NEED TO STOP THE PROCESS CHAIN FOR COUPLE OF DAYS AND THEN RESTART IT AGAIN.
    cAN ANYONE TELL ME THE PROCEDURE TO STOP THE ENTIRE PROCESS CHAIN RUNNING IN THE PRODUCTION.
    THANKS
    HARITHA

    Hi,
    First and foremost let me advice you to be very careful while doing this.
    For Rescheduling
    RSPC> chain > Goto > Planning view and
    click on Execution tab > select > Remove from Schedule and then in Maintain variant of start process reschedule for the day you require it to run.
    For terminating active chain
    You can start from SM37, find the process WID/PID then go to SM50 or SM51 and kill it. Once its done come back to RSMO and check the request, it should be red but again manually force to red and save by clicking on the total status button in the status tab. This shuld ensure that the process is killed properly.
    The next step will be to go to targets that you were loading and remove the red requests from those targets.
    Note: For source system loads you may have to check if the request is running in the source system and kill if needed and pull it again.
    But for BW datamart delta loads u may have reset the datamarts in case u are going to pull the delta again.

  • Execute Process chain after infopackage run for a PC file

    Hello all.
    The scenario I need to solve is the following.
    I have several files to be load to ODS from P users PC. I will do this with an info package. But after this load there are some more process that have to be run whoch are created in a process chain.
    I would like to automate the execution of the precess chain right after the load from PC file is done.
    Any sugestions?
    Thanks and regards,

    Hello Javier Alvarado,
    If you use process chains, the automatically integrated processes are ignored and have to
    be implemented using the process chain. If you schedule a specific process in a chain,
    you support the automatic insertion of additional, relevant standard processes with the
    consideration of such automatic actions.
    For example, if you have selected the processing types Only PSA and Subsequently in
    Data Targets in the InfoPackage from the tabstrip Processing, and you are using this
    InfoPackage in a process chain, then the further processing into the data target does not
    automatically happen. Instead, it only happens if the process Update PSA is scheduled in
    the respective process chain after the loading process. Thus, the process chain
    maintenance supports the automation in this case. In this way, you generate a process
    variant for updating from the PSA in the chain when inserting the loading process with the
    process types Only PSA and Subsequently in Data Targets automatically into a chain.
    Well i am talking about 30B Version

  • How to schedule process chains to be run on certain dates contained in DSO

    Here is what I am trying to do.
    We have a set of objects that need to be loaded with data, however they have to be loaded only on certain dates.
    We are using process chains. What I would like to do, is to automate this load.
    Essentially, I am thinking that I need to create some kind of event/service on the BW side that will sit and listen by comparing the system date to a set of dates defined in one of the DSOs containing data on Academic Calendar.
    For example, the process chain should only start when the system date is = to the beginning of academic subsession date defined in one of the DSOs called Academic Period. Once the execution happens, then the event/service would sit and listen until the next time system date is = one of the dates in that DSO.
    I am looking into the detailed steps in how this automation could be accomplished.
    Thank you

    did this once a long time ago...other kind of requirement but the principle is the same.
    create a program_1 that updates table TVARV.
    you need a selection screen with a paramter 'run_pc_2' and an input field for 'X' or ' '.
    when you need to run chain2, you run this program and put X in the input field and run the program to update TVARV.
    after the run of the process chain you run the program again and put ' ' in the input field.
    create a second program_2 that reads this entry in table TVARV. If 'run_pc_2' = 'X' then you trigger event1. else you trigger event2.
    create two process chains.
    1/  PC1PC2PC4
    2/ PC1PC3PC4
    the first process chain is to be scheduled by event triggering after event1.
    the second one is to be scheduled by event triggering after event2.
    schedule program_2 to run daily.
    the program will now check the entry in table TVARV and will trigger the corresponding process chain.
    i hope it's clear what i mean to say.

  • Process chain is long running

    We have a process chain that is long running even though there is not much data.
    It is long running in Load PSA step. It is getting data from other R/3 sap system. A job is also long running in the R/3 system.
    We can see data coming to BW system but not getting updated to PSA and even the job in R\3 is also not getting terminated.
    There are many other process chains too running in the system and they are running fine. So i feel that this may not be due to system performance. This is happening for last one and half week.
    If any one has faced similar problems or if you have any solution or checks that i can do, please reply.
    Regards,

    Hi sarafraz,
    If there are more than one run are active and running ,then delete the other extraction job and have only one at a time in source system. Because those may be causing lock issue .
    Also see system log in SM21 ,if you have any system termination message for this extractor .
    Check ST22,if you have any short dump for this extractor
    Also you can try to load for particular selection in Infopackage (for a month,company code or some other selection that restrict the data) and check whether it is completed or not.
    Also check to RSA3 and extract there.
    See SM12 -for lock entires
    SM51,SM66 in source system - What is running for this extractor,which program is being read,which table etc...
    so you can know the step where it got stuck or taking long time.
    Thanks,

  • Process chains are not running in a given time.

    Hi BI Experts, Good afternoon.
      Daily we are running the process chains in the night time. And the  first process chain starts at 22:30(master data loading).
      But from 5 days onwards, our process chains are running in the morning time around 10AM.
      We informed to our BASIS team but they could not do anything.
      What may be the problem.
      Can anyone tell me the solution?
    Thanks in advance
      Anjali

    May be your chain was in the wait at the scheduled time, as there were no adequate processes available at the app server to take up your job.
    Check with your Basis ( and also your users ); about the optimal time to schedule the job and reschedule your jobs.

  • Process Chain Message for Run completion

    Dear experts,
    In our system the Process chains and as they complete processes, there are some messages, such as completion of run for master data or hierarchies...
    Then when I run the PC, if I don't click to confirm the messages, the PC sometimes times out...
    I would like to NOT display thoses messages.
    How can I change the settings for that???
    Alice

    Dear Pravender,
    What do you mean by block?
    The start event or the attrib. change box?
    if i right-click on them both I see:
    "Display Variant...
    Exchange variant...
    Display all jobs
    Create message...
    Debug Loop...
    Remove process"
    I don't see "maintain message."
    I think you mean that I should I click "create message..." and change successful to error.
    If that correct?

  • Process chain load not triggered automatically

    Dear Experts,
    I have created a process chain which goes like
    Start >> Create Index >> Load Infopackage 1 >> Load 2 >> Load 3 >> followed by 3 more load infopackages...followed by Delete Index and subsequent process like Rollup and DB stats.All the infopackages loaded into same data target.
    When the chain gets triggered first Load infopackage is succesfull later subsequent jobs did not trigger.
    But if i Right click on next process and click "Repeat" the job starts and load gets succesfull. The same case with rest of the loads.
    why arent they getting triggered automatically one after other.
    is there any solution to the problem ?
    Thanks in Advance
    EDA

    Hi Ellora,
       In your scenario, I strongly suggets you to use the "Delete Index" only once since the data target is the same for all Infopackages. Again use "Create Index" only use. You can accomplish this by using the AND process greatly.
       The flow may be like this...
                         START
                       DELETE INDEX
                      LOAD1     LOAD2   LOAD3
                          AND
                           |
                         CREATE INDEX
    Ensure that you have scheduled the process chain in the START Variant.
    Hope this helps...
    Thanks,
    Raj

  • Process chain shows DTP running

    We are on latest patch levels in BI 7.0.
    One of our production process chain is not completing. It shows no messages, DTP from  DSO to cube remains yellow. We don't see any request updating in the cube. However, manual execution of DTP is working fine.
    I have dependent process chains, and I need to make this process chain green.
    Please help
    Shalini.

    Hi Shalini,
    Some patch is missed in production system i guess.
    Could you please cancel the DTP that is currently running in the
    System and restart it again. Before restarting the DTP please make
    sure that the lock from the DDFTX and NRIV tables have been released.
    Please ask the database administrator to ensure that there are no
    locks on the database on these tables before starting the DTP again.
    The issue with the lock on the DDFTX table usually happens when an
    upgrade is done and on restarting it the issue should not occur again.
    Could you please implement note 1155807. This note should prevent the
    locking on the DDFTX table
    Hope it helps you.
    Thanks,
    Sarau

  • Process Chains is not running

    Hi All,
    I have created the Process Chains and Scheduled the Process chain on early morning 2.00AM. In STart variant, i have specified the time and date and saved the Process Chains. I have checked the Scheduled job in SM37 and found,BI_PROCESS_TRIGGER is scheduled. Today i have checked the Log view and found Chain has not executed.
    Can u pls help on this issue.
    Thanks,
    Jelina.

    Hi Jelina,
    In the scheduling options,check whethre you have selected direct scheduling or with meta chain. Make the desired one and also if you want it to repeat periodically, then Check the Periodic job checkbox and select the periodic vaules from the Period Values Tab.
    Hope this helps...

  • Long running process chains - No Dump / error message.

    Hello,
    We have defined some steps in process chain that contains default macros. We mainly included that to ensure calculations happens even when users dont open or access the DP Planning book.
    Issue is, these steps are running endless. normally it takes some 400 n odd seconds. But its running for the last 60000 secs.
    No. of Planning objects or CVC is 2027 only. I had to cancel them and tried to re run this step or the whole chain no luck....
    I have checked active jobs in SM37, there is none. So ideally there is no load on the system. Also no change to Macro or CVC's has been done. there was only one Transport that was moved and it was on the product master.
    Also I have done the time series, Live cache, PA  Consistency checks. only in Live Cache there was some Superflous time series and it was corrected.
    I am not getting a clue of why its happening nor where to start the analsysis.
    Any help or suggestion is greatly appreciated.
    Currently I have made the subsequent events as independent,&  the chain is running execpting this step.
    Many Thanks
    Aswath Ram.

    Thanks for the reply,
    These are custom macros. It adds two KF and copies to another.
    The no. of periods is 24 time periods and roughly no. of CVC is 2100.
    Another thing, this process chain has been running for last 5 to 6 months with no issues. Since sunday, its messing up....
    I am doubting if its taking time read data from table or live cache. or is it because of some indexing. Not sure how to check that.
    have asked Basis to check the system performance, if it might cause this issue.
    Many Thanks
    Aswath

  • Program is not sending emails if I run it within the process chain

    Hi All,
    I am facing a weird issue; I have an ABAP program which compares tables and sends the results in an email. It is working fine if I run it standalone. However, if I run it within the process chain it still runs but doesn't send the email.
    Any idea on how to troubleshoot this?
    Thanks

    maybe because it's ran under a different user (ALEREMOTE)?

  • How to trigger a local process chain to run manually

    Dear Experts,
    In my company, I have a Daily process chain.
    In this Daily process chain, it contains many other local process chains which are grouped by modules.
    For example, I have created the following 3 process chains:
    - Accounts Receivables Process Chain which contains all the required process for loading FIAR data.
    - Accounts Payables Process Chain which contains all the required process for loading FIAP data.
    - Inventory Process Chain which contains all the required process for loading  Stocks data.
    These 3 process chains are scheduled one after the other in the main process chain which is called Daily Process Chain.
    FIAR needs to be successful before FIAP can run and Inventory chain will run only after FIAP is successful.
    Normally it runs without any problems.
    But recently, when the previous chain is successful, the next process chain does not get triggered to run.
    In the end, I have to manually execute the remaining process chains to start running.
    With this, all data are loaded, but the Daily Process Chain status for the day is yellow because it is not complete.
    Is there a program or method which I can execute or use to trigger the process chain to continue to run in the Daily Process Chain? If there is, please let me know so that I can avoid having to run the process chains manually one by one.
    Thanks in advance for your help.

    Shunhui.
