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..)

Process Chain: Urgent help needed!!!

Hi Guru's,
I need to change the process chain:
We are currently loading the data form 000000 to 100000 in a single process but now the customer asked us to change it to 4 packages:
000000 to 250000, 250001 to 500000, etc..
Could any one help me in this pls???
your help much appreciated.
regards,
BH

Hi Varma,
    I am assuming you are using generic extractor using function module.
Create a z-control table which maintains ranges 250K records. In future use can even change the range if you want .
below is piece of code from function module
Auxiliary Selection criteria structure
data: l_s_select type srsc_s_select.
data : l_lines type i.
Maximum number of lines for DB table
statics: s_s_if type srsc_s_if_simple,
counter
          s_counter_datapakid like sy-tabix,
          counter type i.
Initialization mode (first call by SAPI) or data transfer mode
(following calls) ?
if i_initflag = sbiwa_c_flag_on.
Check DataSource validity
    case i_dsource.
      when <check your datasource name>
       when others.
        if 1 = 2. message e009(r3). endif.
        log_write 'E'                  "message type
                  'R3'                 "message class
                  '009'                "message number
                  i_dsource            "message variable 1
                  ' '.                 "message variable 2
        raise error_passed_to_mess_handler.
    endcase.
    append lines of i_t_select to s_s_if-t_select.
Fill parameter buffer for data extraction calls
    s_s_if-requnr    = i_requnr.
    s_s_if-dsource   = i_dsource.
    s_s_if-maxsize   = i_maxsize.
else.
    if s_counter_datapakid = 0.
read z-table to know the size i.e. 250K
first read
       z-ctr_frm = 0.
       z_ctr_frm = z_ctr_frm + 250000.
endif.
     if z-ctr_frm > 0.
       z_ctr_frm = z-ctr_frm + 250000.
       z_ctr_to   = z_ctr_frm + 250000.
    endif.
***Generate data packets
    select data from table with the number range variables z_ctr-frm and z_ctr_to.
    s_counter_datapakid = s_counter_datapakid + 1.
endif.
ENDFUNCTION.
I hope this help you.

Need help with BW Process chain issue

Hi Gurus,
I had made a copy of the existing process chain so that I can work on the changes. Its a metachain and I tried to copy a sub chain.
But at a later point of time, I have realized that the process chain had got into a nested loop in the meta chain, for the sub chain, I had copied. How do I rectify it?
Kindly suggest

hi,
use the bottom up approach.
Looking at the attached file it has many PCs.
Just note down all list of all PC and then do the copy of individual PCs, later you can copy the complete meta chain.
If you want give one more chance and try to copy meta chain again.
Thank-You.
Regards,
VB

Process Chain issue-Needs urgent Help

R/3 Master Data Main Chain
Problem Description:
When we trigger the process chain from SM64, the process chain fails at the step as shown below.
There are no logs for the local chain i.e. the local chain fails without linking.
If we manually schedule the local chain it runs successfully.
The error message changed as and when we tried fixing the defects. Each of them with the solutions tried for them is explained below.
ERROR 1:
The error message which we got was as Cannot Activate Job BI_PROCESS_LOADING (return code 8).
Solution tried:
1.     Replicating Data Sources and activating the transfer and communication structures by running the programs RS_COMSTRU_ACTIVATE_ALL and RS_TRANSTRU_ACTIVATE_ALL.
ERROR 2:
Later we found that the released job was missing for failed local chain.
Solution tried:
1.     We created a new job by copying a previous job.
ERROR 3:
When we re-scheduled the process chain, we got the error message as shown below.
Solution tried:
1.     Deleted all the logs which were in running status.
ERROR 4:
After re scheduling the process chain we are getting the error message as shown below. This is the error message we are getting now.
Solutions Tried:
1.    Saving the variant and reactivating the process chains.
2.     Replicating Data Sources and activating the transfer and communication structures by running the programs RS_COMSTRU_ACTIVATE_ALL and RS_TRANSTRU_ACTIVATE_ALL.
3.     Changing the scheduling options of the failed local chain to Start using Meta Chain or API from Direct Scheduling.
4.     We searched for locked entries in SM12. There are no locked entries.
5.     We ran attribute change run with variant for info object Profit Center from the following path
    RSA1-> Tools-> Apply Hierarchy/ Attribute Change Run. We created a new variant for the info object.
We still could not find a solution. do let us know if you have any inputs.
Thanks,
Mayuri

Hi All,
Please reply ASAP. Its critical.
We created a new process chain and when we do a check on it,we are getting a warning message.
We just upgraded our Dev box from 3.5 to 7.0. Our master data process chains, which reflect samples delivered by SAP, are giving warnings saying "too many parallel processes" for chosen server. It refers us to note 621400.
I am curious to know if others have run into this, and if they have changed their MD process chains to run in a serial fashion.
Prior to the upgrade, we had no deadlocks with process chains.
Thanks.

"Still waiting for replays Issue In process chain please help me"

Hi Xpertz
Could any one clarify me in the following aspect .I have a process which is having
4 infopackages updating to a single ods and then in to a cube I copnverted it in to
a process chain evry thing seems to be fine how ever one issue is ther .I am not
getting any repeat option on the failed infopackage .But if the ods activation fails
then am able to see the repeat option on that activation process.
How can we get the repeat option on the failuere info package .
Other than segis weblog is ther any other option to restart the process chain.3
ITs in BW 3.5
Thanx in advance
Regards
R M K
No need to say good answers willl get full pointz***

Hi..
I have worked on process chains..and I too have seen this..that when chain fails..often repeat option does not appear at infopackage step..
but then this does not cause an issue..as I simply double click on the step..open the infopackage and run it..
Siggi's blog is very useful..I havent found another method to kick off a chain from the failed step..(other than repeat)..
sometimes..u manually correct the failure..but the process chain step remains RED..
as per the blog..change the field on the table..so that step goes GREEN and kicks off further steps of the chain..

Hi - Process Chain Issue - Urgent - pls help

Hi All,
When iam executing the Process chain, its coming out of the loop without finishing the processes.
Its showing the overall status as green.
But, if we dig in to log and see the message.. its showing "Communication buffer deleted from previous run".
But, if i schedule the each processes manually, its successful.
Nisha

the log it shows :
Diagnosis                                                Entries still exist in the communication buffer from the previous run of
     the current metachain. Since the chain, meanwhile, has the 'G ' status,
     the communication buffer was deleted.
System response                                                                                The buffer was deleted and is used for the current run.

Process Chain issues in BW

Hi,
I am a BASIS Con, What are the common issues we will face in Process Chain for BASIS part and How can we solve those. Can you please help me regaring this.
Thanks,
Kishore

We will have connectivity with source system issue.
Data base unavailability issue.
Jobs that need to schedule on perticular time which is not doing the same.
if any perticular user want to load on-deman in that situation if that perticular user does not have proper permission to do the same.
Like this we will have somany.
Please let me know if you need any more information.

PI Interface Posting Files - Trigger Process Chain Issue

Dear Reader,
Situation -
We get multiple flat files from source system via PI interface. To process this in BW 7.0 side we have created the web service interface. In the function module we have written a code to trigger process chain, once a data is posted.
Issue -
As there are multiple files being posted, the PC runs on completion of the every single post, which is not desired. We need to run the process chain only once at the end of all the files being posted.
Notes -
1. Number of files keep varying.
2. Clubbing all the files in a single file and then posting it would cause performance issues.
Request your help in find a way like -
1. A file being posted of name, say 'START PC', which can be trapped in the funciton module and controll the PC call.
2. <any Other idea>

Process chain issue in production server

hAI
I created the process chain to load the transaction data . Then i transported to Quality and Production server.
1) When i try to open the my process chain in RSPC in Production System. Then im not getting the process chain . But im getting black just.
But when i press 'change' button in Production Server then it says that "changes are carried out in original system" and then im getting my process chain .
2) When i try to schedule my process chain in production server then it asking for new transport request . Why it is like that . Once i transport the process chain from development server to production server. Then it shouldn't ask for new request.
Pls help in these secarios. I need urgent help .
kumar

Hi Kumar,
I don't know what the problem is but you can copy in PRODUCTION environment the process chain to a new one.
Please follow the steps:
1. Open the problematic process chain (display or change mode).
2. In the command line write the word "copy" .
3. A popup will appear, insert a new name for the new process chain and confirm.
4. The new process chain is now opened but it is not active yet.
5. Delete the "old" START event and insert a new one.
6. Activate and schedule the chain.
While activating the new chain, no transport request should appear in PRODUCTION.
Hope it helps, Amir.

Supplier Process chain issue

Hello,
We loaded supplier(LSUPPLIER) from ECC to SPM. The data got loaded to PSA and info objects. But when I release the supplier load, the process chain is running for last 7 hours.
We had same issue in QA where it ran for almot 2 days and even after 2 days it did not finish - in fact there was no progress as well. When I checked in SM50, there was a process with sequential read on /BI0/PXALOCSUPP for almost 2 days.
Has anyone faced similar issue and any pointers for this issue?
Regards,
Prasanna

WE have seen this happen if too many of local supplier point to the same cleansed supplier(generally a dummy cleansed supplier). Is that the case for you.
If not then try recuding the package size of the PSA. That might improve performance for you.

Process Chain Issue

Hi Gurus
When i am executing the Process chain which contains two loads(two local chain)- Master data and transaction load.
After trigger the master variant, it goes to the Master data local chain, but Its showing the yellow status for long time.
But, if we dig in to log and see the message.. its showing "Communication buffer deleted from previous run".
It did not trigger any load inside the master data. But, if i schedule the each processes manually, its successful.
Thanks in advance.
Variant settings:
First variant set to Immediate start
Master data load variant set to Start using meta chain or API
Transaction data load variant set to Start using meta chain or API
Note: Even i changed Master data load variant and Transaction data load variant to Immediate start. Still did not work.
I activated the chain many times too.

Process chains issue:very urgent

Hi All,
This issue is related to process chains.Last weekend our Basis team changed the BW PRD from BWBPRD to BWBPRD1.The process chains were schedlued previously on BWBPRD, so after the server change none of the process chains were triggered.
We have rescheduled our process chains in the new server yesterday, but no success.
We could not find any log in the SM37 also.
Kindly suggest how to overcome this issue
Thanks,
Manjula

Hi,
Check do you have connection with this new system( BWBPRD1) to your source system (R/3), and check the changed server is reflecting in SM66 or SM50. try to execute the job immediate and check chain is running or not. at the time of execution you can assign the new server to run this particular chain.
as for as your problem concerned i think your application is not active.

Event based Process chain issue

Hi,
I have a PC which is event triggered through a program. when i'm trying to run it i'm getting following msg
"Process chain is not responding to the event trigger."
Can someone help me in fixing it and triggering thr PC ?

Hi,
Refer the nice article from SDN and verify if you have followed the process to write the event based PC.
