Process chain in Maestro

I need help in scheduling Process chain thru Maestro. I tried to run the start Process BI_PROCESS_TRIGGER with the Process chain's variant and Maestro picked up and ran the Process chain. My question is when a job fails in the Process chain, I need Maestro to pick up the failure from Process chain and give the message "Failed". When a load fails in the Process chain Maestro still picks up the start Process as "success" and BI_LOADING job in SM37 also shows "Finished".
Appreciate any input on this.
Thanks

Trigger Process Chain Fails

Hi All,
We have a BI 3.5 System.We use the Maestro Background Job utility to fire background jobs in the SAP system including the process chain.
Of late, we have been experiencing problems wherein the process chain is not triggered automatically from the maestro application as scheduled.
It fails with the following error log in maestro :

Any help.
Thanks & Regards,

Navin,
this can have several issues. Please verify the r3user profile in your BI system, the r3user which is defined in the r3batch options file. The SAP user must have the profile S_BI-WHM_RFC assigned, additionally to the access right definition explained in the Tivoli Workload Scheduler for Applications users guide.
If this does not solve your problem, please contact IBM support and open a problem management report.
Kind regards

Schedule process chains (in DBI, QBI, 7 PBI) centrally.

Hi Gurus,
I am working in SAP BI 7.0. I want to load data from an Oracle system to DBI, QBI and PBI using process chains. But i need to have some restriction as mentioned below.
I need to know whether it is possible to have the following options:
1. To load only to DBI and QBI (not to PBI) simultaneously
2. To load to all three systems simultaneously( i.e., DBI, QBI & PBI)
Can we set any restrictions for accomplishing this? Is there any standard function module which can schedule the process chains centrally in diffrent systems?
If so how should i use that. Please give your suggestions.
Thanks in advance
BI Beginner

You can have an external scheduler like maestro to accomplish the same...

Error in Process chain execution.

Pls, i'm getting the following error with my process chain.
Error TEXT : *************** From HERE ***********
WARNING 914 *** EEWO0914W An internal error has occurred. Either the joblog or the job protocol for the following job does not exist:
Job name: !1
Job ID: !2.
+++ EEWO1016I The Process Chain has been stopped:
Error Text : *************** Till HERE ***********
What is process chain doing : The process loads data from legacy (oracle db) into ODS and then splits data into 2 cubes, with ODS activation, drop indexes, create indexes, delete PSA at proper places. The PC is called from a maestro job (TWS Agent : Tivoli Work Scheduler agent). The TWSA simply calls the PC with no processing at it's end.
Fyi, When i look at the BW logs, the PC is a success (green), with all data loaded successfully. In the last step of the PC, i'm creating a txt file (0 byte file) on the server. Even this file is created with correct time stamp (as per log).
However the TWS reports back the above mentioned error.
The last message, just before the error is :
07/24/2010 17/46/37 RSM1 797Start InfoPackage ZPAK_3XYD134H7BSESPB0MRTCGHNOE
For the past few loadings, this behaviour has been consistent. Could anybody give some lead on this.
Regards,
Nagendra.

Hi,
Please implement the following two notes to your system:
1460640 Correction: Synchronous run turns red during log refresh
1396417 Correction: Status "Red" if request does not exist yet
As the execution of the chain goes well on the backend, and the issue
is only reported by the 3rd party program, please get in contact with
the supplier of the TWS. Normally the external schedulers like uc4 using the
rspc_api_chain_start to start the process chains, and the function
module RSPC_API_CHAIN_GET_STATUS to receive the current status
information about the corresponding runs.

Generic Process-Chain to load many individual files - How?

Hello All,
There is a requirement to extract 5 csv files to a single ODS every week.
The files are individualy named and can appear all at the same time or spread out over 1 week.
Current loading practice is to employ 5 process-chains, one for each file. The Process-Chains are very similar except that each calls a different InfoPackage which points to a specific file.
I would like to be able to perform the load with only 1 process-chain.
Initialy I though I could achieve this by running a script that renames the source files to genericname.csv for example, and then creating an InfoPackage that uses a logical filename. However, for audit purposes, the source file names must remain unchanged.
So, does anyone have any suggestions how to achieve the objective preferably without using OS-level scripting?
Many thanks,

Hi,
There is no simple way to achieve this. You can create a master process chain that has the 5 parallel file CSV load including the DTPs and upstream data loads. You can specify the next steps start irrespective of error (versus only if successful which is default ) inside the process chain. Upon successful data load, delete the CSV file so anytime the PC is run again, its not available. You can create an OS command prompt in side the PC at the end to achieve it.
So only the file that needs be extracted is available, eg: if csv1 needs be loaded to DSO1, the csv2-csv5 that load to (DSO2-5 or can be the same DSO) will not be available. So the process step1 will be successful, while the remaining will error, however given that the PC will complete since the next steps aren't dependent on success/failure of each extract.
Alternately
If you have external job scheduling agent like Maestro, is to schedule the individual PC (5 pcs as they exist today, each run by the Maestro scheduler) load from there.
Alternately, if the data is getting loaded from a flat file generated from R/3 or other SAP system, you can trigger the event from RFC which will start the respective process chain.
Hope it helps.

Problem with AND process in daily running process chain

Questions on Multiprovider and Process Chain

Hai All,
          I have two questions. One on Multiprovider and the other on Process chain.
1. Multiprovider:
          For example, I have 2 ODSs. ODS1 has Objects ORDER NUMBER, COUNTRY and PRODUCT, ODS2 has objects ORDER NUMBER, DELIVERY STATUS, CREATION DATE.
Now if I make a multiprovider on ODS1 and ODS2, then as ORDER NUMBER is common in both the ODSs, can I make a report like this:
ORDER NUMBER - DELIVERY STATUS, CREATION DATE?
         I have a problem here bacuase its not getting those details from the other ODS even though the ORDER NUMBER(value) is same. Am I making nay mistake or is it a system problem.
I beleive thats how a Multiprovider works.
2. Process chain:
                I have an END connector in my process chain that connects 3 processes and lets the following task start only after the success of all the above 3 processes.
The system is displaying the END connector seperately under each process. But the name and everything else is same. Is this a setting somewhere in the process chain?
Thank you.

Hi,
1. Those fields are in ODS2, you don't need to make a multiprovider.
2. You mean an AND connector. Maybe you need to refresh the screen. if this doesn't work, delete the three and connectors and insert a new one.
Hope this helps.
Regards,
Diego

BPM Process chain takes long time to process

We have BI7, Netweaver 2004s on Oracle and SUN Solaris
There is a process chain (BPM) which pulls data from the CRM system into BW. The scheduled time to run this chain is 0034 hrs. This chain should ideally complete before / around 0830 Hrs. Now the problem is that every alternate day this chain behaves normally and gets completed well before 0830 hrs but every alternate day this chain fails there are almost 40 chains running daily. Some are event triggered (dependent with each other) or some run in parallel. In this, (BPM) process chain, usually there are 5 requests with 3 Delta and 2 full uploads (Master Data). The delta uploads finishes in 30 minutes without any issues with very few record transfers. The first full upload is from 0034 hrs to approximately 0130 hrs and the 2nd upload is from 0130 hrs to 0230 hrs. Now if the 1st upload gets delayed then the people who are initiating these chains, stop the 2nd full upload and continue it after all the process chains are completed. Now this entire BPM process chain sometimes takes 17 -18 hrs to complete!!!!!
No other loads in CRM or BW when these process chains are running
CRM has background jobs to push IDOCS to BW which run every 2 minutes which runs successfully
Yesterday this chain got completed successfully (well within stipulated time) with over 33,00,000 records transferred but sometimes it has failed to transfer even 12,00,000 records!!
Attaching a zip file, please refer the 21 to 26 Analysis screen shot.doc from the zip file
Within the zip file, attaching Normal timings of daily process chains.xls the name explains it.
Also within the zip file refer BPM Infoprovider and data source screen shot.doc please refer this file as the infopackage (page 2) which was used in the process chain is not displayed later on in page number 6 BUT CHAIN GOT SUCESSFULLY COMPLETED
We have analyzed:--
1) The PSA data for BPM process chain for past few days
2) The info providers for BPM process chain for past few days
3) The ODS entries for BPM process chain for past few days
4) The point of failure of BPM process chain for past few days
5) The overall performance of all the process chains for past few days
6) The number of requests in BW for this process chain
7) The load on CRM system for past few days when this process chain ran on BW system
As per our analysis, there are couple of things which can be fixed in the BW system:--
1) The partner agreement (transaction WE20) defined for the partner LS/BP3CLNT475 mentions both message types RSSEND and RSINFO: -- collect IDOCs and pack size = 1 Since the pack size = 1 will generate 1 TRFC call per IDOC, it should be changed to 10 so that less number of TRFCs will be generated thus less overhead for the BW server resulting in the increase in performance
2) In the definition of destination for the concerned RFC in BW (SM59), the Technical Setting tab says the Load balancing option = No. We are planning to make it Yes
But we believe that though these changes will bring some increase in performance, this is not the root cause of the abnormal behavior of this chain as this chain runs successfully on every alternate day with approximately the same amount of load in it.
I was not able to attach the many screen shots or the info which I had gathered during my analysis. Please advice how do I attach these files
Best Regards,

Hi,
Normally index creation or deletion can take long time in case your database statistics are not updated properly, so can check stat after your data loading is completed and index generation is done, Do creation of database statistics.
Then try to recheck ...

Error while activating Process Chains

Hi all,
while activating the Process Chains, i am getting the following error "Job BI_PROCESS_PSAPROCESS could not be scheduled. Termination with returncode 8"
when i double click on the error msg, i got the following help msg: "
Message no. RSPC065
Diagnosis
Program RSPROCESS is to be scheduled as job BI_PROCESS_PSAPROCESS under user ALEREMOTE.
Can any one please show some way to solve this problem? please do this favor, i have been suffering with error for a long time.
Points will be given
Thanks
Ganesh

Hi,
Just analyze the error message that you get while activating the PC, don't give any server name.If you are trying to run process chain using Flat file, it won't work,
and you should have source system R/3 or you have own datasources in BW system itself at that toime you can use PC to extract data. If your source system is Flat ile, it won't work. other wise you should place your flat file in application server, using AL11 tcode.
OSS : 511475
Symptom
You cannot schedule or perform any batch jobs with the BW or source system background user.
The error RSPC 065 occurs in the process chains:"Job could not be scheduled, termination with return code 8"
Other terms
RSPC065
Reason and Prerequisites
The user type is
"CPIC" up to 4.6B
"Communication" as of 4.6C
This user type may not execute or start any batch jobs, irrespective of the user authorizations.
Solution
Set the type of background user to
"Background" up to 4.6B
"System" as of 4.6C
This user type corresponds to the "Communication" type and may also perform background functions.
Through the Customizing, the BW user is automatically created by mistake as a communication user.Depending on your BW system release, you can solve this problem as follows:
BW 2.0B
 Import Support Package 24 for 2.0B (BW2.0B patch24 or SAPKW20B24) into your BW system. The Support Package is available once note 456551 with the short text "SAPBWNews BW 2.0B Support Package 24", which describes this Support Package in more detail, has been released for customers.
BW 2.1C
 Import Support Package 16 for 2.1C (BW2.1C patch16 or SAPKW21C16) into your BW system. The Support Package is available once note 456566 with the short text "SAPBWNews BW 2.1C Support Package 16" has been released for customers.
BW 3.0A
 Import Support Package 8 for 3.0A (BW3.0A patch08 or SAPKW30A08) into your BW system. The Support Package is available once note 452632 with the short text "SAPBWNews BW 3.0A Support Package 08" has been released for customers.

Error while Activating a process chain

Hi,
I have just modified the existing process chain with the new info package for loading into ODS and then delta update into the Info Cube.
when i am clicking on the option schedule and activate.
Its giving error as :
"InfoPackage ZPAK_49RJW545FSO2MB3NF1MIZ9NJ9 is
generated; NOT able to be used as loading variant"
This is a IP, which is used for delta update from ODS to cube.
I have checked the IP, its fine like i can do the delta through this pacakge manually.
Please help, points will be rewarded....

Dear himanshu arora ,
Go and check whether the Info Package exist ,
You can check in Rsa1 and give IP name and find it.
If your IP is not there please create it,
If tehre please check the all parameter associated with it.

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

Error while copying a process chain.

Hi All,
I get an error message while copying the process chain in Production environment.It says "SAP System has status 'not modifiable'".Choose display object or Cancel.I hope this is because of the config. that there is no option to create anything .
Please confirm.
Regards,
Shailja.

Hi Shailja,
That means that you can not change that type of object on Quality or Productive server.
Go to Administrator Workbench, sub menu Transport Connection, there you will find a button called Object Changeability (with a truck). Click on that and change the types of the concerned objects to 'Every changeable' in your case.
Beware that you must change the status not with a double click but with a right click
also refer the following thread you can find your solution
