Process chain Implementation

Hi experts,
I would like to implement process chains and I need help.
How to create process chains, Advantages of process chains, Also I need e-mail notifications in my process chains.
Any step-by-step document would be appreciated.
Thanks for your help
Regards,
~MMM

SO as to start see TCode RSPC ... e-mail notification is just possible if you configure SAPConnect (see TCODE SICF). I think there isn't a step by step doc, just because each loading proces has its own particularities, but you can take a look to service.sap.com/bw. There you find these doc, under "SAP BW InfoIndex" - Process Chains
· How to... Integrate an ABAP program into a process chain 3.x (pdf)
· Modelling aspects in process chains (ppt)
· Modelling aspects in process chains - Transcript (doc)
· Operating BW 3.0 using Process Chains (ppt)
· Using Process Chains in SAP BW (pdf)
Hope it helps

  • Error transport, when the DTP is implemented in Process chain

    Dear all,
    we are facing with a problem: when a DTP is already implemented in a process chain, the tranport of that depending transformation will get an error (return code 8) with message like this:
    "Start of the after-import method RS_TRFN_AFTER_IMPORT for object type(s) TRFN (Aktivierungs
    Transformation 04QJHDX7E941CZLCQDNNO6FQX06GB61B deleted in version M of DDIC
    Action canceled
    The user terminated processing of objects
    Impact analysis of Transformation 04QJHDX7E941CZLCQDNNO6FQX06GB61B
    The user terminated processing of objects
    Error when activating Transformation 04QJHDX7E941CZLCQDNNO6FQX06GB61B
    Dependent object DTPA DTP_049H3XG5UDOXUJ5RG44W3JN30 set to inactive
    If we deleted the DTP in the process chain first, then reimport the transformation, the transport will be succesful. But that is not really the solution, isn't it? What is here the phenomenon? Do we need some setting else or is there any SAP notes for this?
    Thanks a lot for advise!
    Van Anh Nguyen

    Hi,
    sorry that I may not be clear in my explaination. The Scenario is below:
    - we create a transformation in C
    - transport it to Q and create there DTP and process chain. It works well for a long time.
    - then change something in transformation in C due to an enhancement 
    - try to transport transformation to Q, but it failed. Transformation inactive. DTP inactive.
    - try again by deletion DTP in PC (in Q)
    - reimport transformation again --> that works. Transformation transported and active in Q. But DTP lost and we have to re-create it in PC.
    Question: is there any method to avoid the step of DTP-deletion ? Thank you!

  • Implementing a custom process type for a process chain

    I have created a custom process type for a process chain that allows a user to send back a failure or error status when calling an ABAP program.  I copied the class that is used from the existing ABAP process type as a template. 
    The process type works fine, I just cannot find out how to recreate the documentation for my custom type using free text. When you maintain the process type there is a field for the documentation object, but I can't find where in SAP to implement this.
    I have tried looking at the document maintenance using SE61 and looking into the class documentation from SE24 with no success.  The only detail that is provided in the SAP help portal is:
    "If necessary, assign a documentation type and a docu. object to the process type. The docu object can be called up via F1 in the process chain maintenance overview tree. "
    Does anyone out there have any experience with this that can push me in the right direction?
    Thanks,
    Eddie

    You can create and maintain system documentation from transaction SE61. This is how you would create documentation for a process type or if you wanted to create a book. <a href="http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/a4/d47df949e111d189730000e8322d00/frameset.htm">more info</a>
    Here are the steps to make your documentation similar to that used for the ABAP process type:
    From transaction SE61:
    -Create a document of type TX (either from scratch or by copying RSPC_ABAP which is used for the SAP-delivered ABAP process type)
    -Make any changes you need. I suggest downloading the document in ITF format and make the changes in a basic text editor and then uploading your changed document. It's a little easier to tell what is going on that way.
    Now on to transaction RSPC.
    Once you save your changes, go to RSPC and select on any chain you have to get into the "plan and check views of process chain maintenance." Then just go to Settings -> Maintain Process Types.
    From here you can select your process type, select TX from the document type dropdown, and then enter the name of your document in the docu. object field.
    Hope that helps.

  • 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..

  • DP process implemented as process chain or jobs

    Hello sapiers:
    I would like to get some examples of how to define PC for DP process like CVC creation, Forecast calculation, snp release.
    I know these are new functionalities but dont know if incopatible with ver 3.5 (that I am using) or the difference (adv/disadv) to define them simply as jobs
    please if possible email me  to [email protected]
    tia
    KCA

    Hi,
    What is the scheduling option that you have selected in the start variant of your process chain? If the chain has been successfully scheduled then you can see that in t-code SM37 under your id, the job for process chain should show as scheduled. If you cannot see anything there then please maintain the start variant properly and rechedule the process chain.

  • Using Alert Framework to send email notifications when Process Chain fails

    Hi Everyone,
    I've configured ALRTCATDEF in Solution Manager, selected the alerting option for Process Chains in - RSPC > Attributes > Alerting, but it looks like whenever any process chain fails, an email notification will be sent to the same recipients.
    Is there anyway to have an ALRCATDEF - alert category for different process chains, so that different recipients receive notifications for different Process Chains.
    Thanks,
    Ken

    Interesting....I was actually hoping for different recipients for different process chains.
    E.g. for our
    CRM process chain - Support Team 1
    FI process chain - Support Team 2
    and so on and so on.
    I think the only way may be creating a custom process type and implementing a class for this process type that calls function SALRT_CREATE_API. Then adding this process type to the process chain, with a different variant for each.
    However if anyone knows a way to do this in a SAP standard way using the Alert Framework, that would be great.
    Cheers,
    Ken

  • Trigger execution of a CR report from SAP BW Process chain

    Hi,
    we want to trigger execution of a Crystal Report from a BW process chain.
    What is the best way to do this?
    Our CR reports are not saved to BW.
    We are currently investigation the option of using a file event on the BO server and using an ABAP program step in the process chain to create the file using FTP. But we want to know if there is an easier way of doing this?
    Thanks and regards
    Jarle

    Hello Nathan,
    your solution with the FTP script and a file being moved to the BO server sounds very interesting!
    Actually that's what I would need to implement in my project.
    Would it be possible for you to give me some information on how to write such a script and how to call it from the Process Chain? Any hint would be really precious!
    Thank you in advance!
    Best regards,

  • Unable to delete data target contents of Write-Optimized DSO in Process Chain

    Hi Experts,
    We are using SAP Net Weaver BW 7.01 version and we need to delete the entire data target contents of Write-Optimized DSO in the process chain before the next data load.
    I included this step in process chain but still it is failing with errore message"Message not found (in main memory), Drop Cube Failed In Data Target"
    This process type is working during BW 7.0 version but not in BW 7.01 version.
    However i found that we can use the program RSSM_DELETE_WO_DSO_REQUESTS to delete old requests in the Write-Optimized DSO for BW 7.01 SP07 as per SAP Note 1437407 but still it's not working even after implementing this program as the Prerequisite to delete the request is the data mart status should be updated where it is not happening for the program.
    We had an process type option to 'delete the requests from Write-Optimized DSO' directly in BW 7.3 but still not available in 7.01 version.
    Could you please suggest me on how to resolve this issue in BW 7.01?
    Many thanks for your help in advance.
    Regards,
    Madhu

    Create ABAP program as attached code.
    Then you can use that ABAP program in process chains through ABAP variant
    ABAP varaint should have following properties
    Select call mode as Synchronous; call from Local; and Program
    Give your ABAP program name in "program name" and create one program variant for each write optimized DSO.
    Please refer how to use ABAP program in process chains for further details.
    Hope this helps

  • Monitoring BI PROCESS CHAIN with Solution Manager BPMON

    Hello,
    I'm trying to setup the monitoring of BI process chain using the BPMON
    I setup the process chain monitoring using  BPmon application monitoring "BI Process Chain Monitoring" (BOBIPCMO)
    but than I'm not able to read the process chain names,steps,and variant from satellite system
    On other systems,using different application monitor (like PI MONITOR) is working fine
    i'm using the latest plug-in ST-A/PI 01L_BCO700 on entire landscape
    My bi system is 7.01 EHP1 sp4
    solution Manager is 7.01 EHP1 SP20
    Any suggestiions?
    Thanks
    Marco

    Hello Marco,
    the problem is that the Process Chain monitor is not yet available with ST-A/PI 01L*. Unfortunately the empty hull that you see during the setup was shipped without the proper content. The Process Chain monitor will be properly shipped with the next ST-PI and ST-A/PI combination in Q2/2010.
    Sorry for any inconvenience caused.
    If you want to have this monitor earlier on it could be implemented via Customer Exit in case that you have some MaxAttention or Safeguarding engagement.
    Best Regards

  • Send the OHD database table load details as mail in Process chain

    Hi,
    We have a requirement that after the data is loaded into Open Hub destination we need to send an email to a list of users.
    The mail should contain the Open hub destination name, Calday, Request No, No of records and the message that the load has ended successfully.
    I know how to send an email in the process chain but how to send the details like Open hub destination name, Calday, Request No, No of records in the mail.
    Please suggest.

    Well we got a little idea:
    We have narrowed the req down to the following logic:
    select REQUID,No of records transferre, and the OHD name from RSBKREQUEST table
    where rsbkrequest-requid  = open hub table request
    Also the open hub table should be first sorted in descending order by request ID
    Now the main issue is:
    How to implement this logic and get the details from RSBKREQUEST table and send these details in the mail body.
    This we want to do in the message which is attached to the Open hub DTP load step of the PC. The message will go if the Open hub load is successful.
    In the message we are able to enter the receipient email address but how to add the above mentioned details.
    Actually we are trying to avoid the ABAP code step.
    Please suggest.

  • Invalid DataStore object name error when running process chain after EHP1

    Hello,
    We recently upgraded our BW Dev platform to NW7.01 EHP1 SP6. I noticed that the layout for "Delete PSA Request" process in the Process Chain has changed after the upgrade. We can no longer specify the actual PSA table to delete eg, /BIC/B0001645. Instead we need to specify the Datasource name and the Source System.
    Now after the upgrade when I run one of my process chains, it fails at "Delete PSA Request" step with error message "Invalid DataStore object name /BIC/B0001645: Reason: No  valid entry in table RSTS". This datasource is based on the flat file source system and the PSA table for this Datasource is /BIC/B0001653.
    Unfortunately the process chain is picking up an older PSA table for this datasource and there is no way for me to specify the current PSA table name after this change in layout with EHP1 upgrade. Any suggestions on how to resolve this issue.
    Many Thanks,
    Al

    Hi,
    Please implement OSS 1345331.
    If this does not help try the below steps:
    1.  Run the report 'RSAR_PSA_CLEANUP_DIRECTORY/_MS' in check mode for a 
           particular PSA table for finding the inconsistencies.
    2.   After that please analyze the logs and if there is any problems related to partition, you need to correct them using the report u2013
    3.  'SAP_PSA_PARTNO_CORRECT' in repair mode for the
          PSA tables.  Run the report again after this
    4.  'RSR_PSA_CLEANUP_DIRECTORY/_MS' in check mode to 
         double check that the invalid partitions are 
         corrected.
         Once this is done you can execute the report     
         'RSR_PSA_CLEANUP_DIRECTORY/_MS' in repair mode.

  • How to create own functions in the decision maker for process chains?

    I need a further function which is not already implemented and available in the decision maker of the process chains. But I do not know how to implement a new function.
    Please give me some help!!!!!

    What does the new function need to do?
    You may have to create a new process type.  There are a few white papers and blogs about different ways of doing this.  Needs ABAP knowledge however.
