Process chain jobs struck in released state

Hi,
We have a strange problem with process chains, After the process chain is
triggered in the middle of the PC, one of the process step job is getting struck
in released state and not moving to active, what might be the probelm, please suggest.
Thanks.

Hi....
Actually this issue sometime happens due to more number of active jobs in the system.........If the number jobs running is huge.........then there will be no free work process.........and all the jobs will stucked in release state only......
Also due to poor system performance also we face this issue.......check ST04 if there is any locks or deadlocks.......Also check ST22 for shortdumps and check the system log in SM21.........
This also sometimes happens due to memory problem.....
You can manually trigger the event to make the job active ..........Right click on the process>> Go to Display messages >> from the chain tab copy the After event and With Parameter.............go to sm64.............search the after event >> click on execute>> give the parameter and execute............it will start the job.............
U can also use the Function module BP_EVENT_RAISE............go to SE37 >> BP_EVENT_RAISE >> Click on Text/Execute.........give the copied event and parameter and execute.......
Hope this helps........

Process Chain Jobs

Dear All,
We run our Process Chain Daily 3 times. but we found that on R/3 side our BW Process Chain jobs gets bydefault Job Catagory as 'C' due to other load on R/3 our jobs are placed in 'Released' if we make it as 'A' jobs get Active is there any option to make BW Process Chain Jobs bydefault Jab Class 'A'?
Regards,
Omkar

Hi Friend,
let me know , whether the jobs are V3 or what in R/3. if the jobs are V3 , as per schedule these will run in R/3 side.
as per me, when the process chain start in BW side, it send a request to start extraction job in R/3
if the PC triggers by any job from R/3, once the job completed in the R/3 it will shows as completed and it will be scheduled/release state for the next run.(as per the schedule)
i think no need to make it as C / A.
let me know, what exactly u r facing the problem
i hope it will help you

Scheduled jobs are in released state only

Dear Experts,
we shedule jobs in background periodically. But for a particular time, all scheduled jobs are in released state only. Please suggest what might be the issue. Even some SAP std jobs have have not started.

Hi Raghavendra,
Have you checked enough BTC work process available in your SAP system.
Use SM65 transaction,goto =>Additional Tests ;check mark "Determine work process status" and "Determine no of jobs in queue"
and see the test results for any problems.

RSPC_LOG_DELETE unscheduled Process Chain Jobs????!!!

Hi, I executed RSPC_LOG_DELETE for the 1st time in my DEV and QA Systems and it looks like it somehow unscheduled my Process Chain Jobs! Has anyone else experienced this or know why this would have happened?
It is a good thing I did not run this in my production system thinking it was an innocent program that would just clean up my logs.
We executed it manually and used a date to leave the most current 3 months of logs.
Thanks for any helps!

Hi,
When you run the program, RSPC_LOG_DELETE, it deactivates teh steps in the process chain. if it is deactivatiing the start variant of the PC, tehn it means , the PC will be descheduled.
So, whenever you run this innocent program, it will happen, and you have to actioate and schedule your process chains
Hope this helps

Removing the "target server" from process chain jobs

Dear SAP Community,
Please note we are on BW version 3.5
We have a very large number of process chains that are used to load data in the production environment. Many of those process chains have a "target server" specified, so that the jobs will run only on the central instance.
A new application server has just been added to the environment, and we want to remove the "target server" definition so that the dispatcher will be free to load balance the process chain jobs.
We can see the attributes for each process chain are stored in a table called RSPCCHAINATTR.
Please let me know: can we update the value of field SERVER in table RSPCCHAINATTR, to set it to blank using SQL-PLUS ?
And then can we run a /$sync to bring these changes up into the application layer ?
This would save tons of time & manual effort, and it would set the target server to blank for all of the process chains at once, instead of clicking manually so many times to clear the value for each process chain.
Please let me know if we can take this approach ? Is there any chance of the process chains becoming inactive by doing this ?
We want to set the "target server" = blank in all cases, instead of manually clicking into each and every process chain.
Please let me know, thanks.

Check tcode RSBATCH, If I'm not wrong all process types are assigned to central server. Remove that server name and save.
Now, If u execute process chain, system will prompt you assign server/host name. To skip this follow the below.
Again use RSBATCH, under 'Background and Parallel Processes' tab, click 'Switch Off F4 Popup for Server/Host/Group', enter * (star) under Users for 'Users for Whom NO Server/Host/Group Popup Should be Processed'.
Now, If u execute process chain, it should run on either of servers.
Since u added Appln Server, best bet would be creating a server group. See the below link.

How to stop process chain job in middle

Hi,
I have designed process chain ,to trigger following sequence of jobs
Step 1 Switching from Transactional cube to Basic cube and Vice versa.
Step 2 Loading data from Transactional cube to basic cube.
Step 3 Buffering the Scorecards.
My question is From Step1.
where i am using one ABAP program as process type( ABAP program functinality is it will switch Transactional cube to Basic cube if there is any yellow request in Transactional cube,If there is no yellow request in the Transactional cube,it should stop from step 1 it self, but I wrote a code to throw error to stop the job, in that case in sm 37 I am able to see cancelled job of this process I don't want to see cancelled job in SM 37 since this prcess chain has been sheduled for every 1 hour, is there any way to stop this job to not to proceed successive process. please give me some input from ur side
Thanks in advance.
Best Regards
Shiva

Hi Shiva,
This is what we have done here:
1. Change the ABAP process type from "Process ends non-specifically" to "Process ends successful or incorrect" from Settings => Maintain Process Type.
2. Copy SE37 function "RSPC_ABAP_FINISH" to a Z-function. Add state as the input parameter and pass that to l_s_log-state and i_state (In Function Call).
3. Now in your program if you want to execute further step call this Z-function with status "F" else with "R" and give your ABAP Variant Name as the other input.
Let me know if you need more help.

How to change local process chains job priority to A?

hi experts,
there are process chains are running in BW production system.
for independent process chain when i forcefully change JOB PRIORITY from C to A last night it was executed successfully with PRIORITY A, but whereas i have meta chain in that there are some local process chains, though i forcefully change the JOP PRIORITY in PRODUCTION TO A, still those local chains were executed with JOB PRIORITY C only.
Can you tell me the reason and solution to change the local process chain as well with JOB PRIORITY A.
The metachain with JOB PRIORITY shows my userid, and the local chains shows BW_USER id.
Regards

Check what's job priority for particular cube in TA RSRT->double click on your chain->menu Process chain->Attributes->Job Priority. Via this you can set priority as you need.

Difference between Scheduled and released with respect to process chains

HI All,
I am Creating a cube in whcih I want to upload the current status of the process chain.
And the requirement is not to take those process chains whcih are scheduled and not released( only take those process chains whcih have status released)
for the same I dont know what is the difference between Scheduled and Released in respect of process Chains and also from whcih Database table I can get this information.
Please help.
Regards,
Ujjwal

Hi,
Job Status Scheduled means a job has been created and is ready to run but has not yet been triggered.
A release status means the created job has been triggered and is waiting for the opportunity to run. A job can be in released status when it is a periodic Job ( Where once the job is completed it goes to release status), when it is slated for future execution, or when there is a delay due to database overload.

Transport Release Issue For Process Chain

Hi Gurus,
While trying to relase my request, which has Process Chain to be imported to testing environment i am getting a message like below:
Check Objects before release and msg as
key :R3TR TABU RSCOMPTLOGOT ERSPC*(Application Component Of Process Chain)
If i click release anyway the information i get is "You have to be an approver to bypass this check" and it is not released.
I have checked the request and it is consistent and "ok".
Not able to understand why i am not able to release this request.
Please guide me on this.
Thanks

Hi Vijay,
Can you check your process chain or any part of proce chain (diff process type) are not locked in two different transport request ?
If so then delete the object from one request and add same object in another request and release.

Kiran

Hi Park,
From what you describe I am assuming that the you had a BW Process Chain running from CPS and then decided to kill it. This autoamtically created a child job that's supposed to stop the Process Chan in SAP that should have, once complete, updated the parent job from it's 'Killing' status to 'Killed'. Now you find that the BW Process Chain in SAP is/was stopped, the CPS child job has also completed and yet your Process Chain job in CPS still has a 'killing' status. Because it is stuck in this status you cannot do anything with it, i.e. none of the scheduling options in the Redwood Explorer are active.
Assuming the above interpretation is correct then you probably have only one option and that is to force an update in the Repository itself. I also assume you're using either v6.x or v7.x.
To confirm the status of the current job in preparation for the update you can do the following query in the Redwood Shell when logged in as SYSJCS:
select status from rws_job$ where job# = <the job number of the job currently in a 'killing' status>;
This should return 1 row and the value for status should be 'G'.
To update the status you can use the following command from the Redwood Shell when logged in as SYSJCS:
update rws_job$ set status = 'K' where job# = <the job number of the job currently in a 'killing' status>;
To confirm your update was successful before finally committing use the first query again..
select status from rws_job$ where job# = <the job number of the job which previously was in a 'killing' status>;
This should return 1 row and the value for status should be 'K'.
You can now commit the change or rollback if you've made a mistake
commit;
Normally it is not recommended that CPS users modify any of the underlying tables so you may want to check with support that they are ok with you executing this command.
You may also want to check that you have the latest Service Pack for CPS as this may mitigate this kind of issue from appearing again.

Simon

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

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.

Job is in suspened state

Dear SDNers,
How do we know a job is in suspended state.
because some of my ECC jobs are in Released\ from last 2 days and scheduled time as 2 days back only..it runs for every 3 hrs .
Thanks,Swathi

Hi,
Well here's what you need to do.
If the job is in 'Released' state in ECC, that implies that it has received no background work process (WP) to start the activity.
Please check the background work processes with SM66 or SM51 (here choose the server and check the work process status).
Check how many BGD (background) work processes are in 'Waiting' state.
Here the work processes will most probably be either 'On hold' or 'running' state. Go inside the work process and see what activity was being done last after which it got stuck and then inform the basis team to end the work process forcefully.
This will solve your issue.

PROCESS CHAIN TO BE EXECUTED by SM37

Hi all,
can we execute process chain through SM37. We have requirement to execute Process chain immediately which is already in Released (Night 10 PM)status. But i did as , selected the Job and gave the selection immediately in SM37 but executed successfully but the relesed (Night 10 PM) status of the same job canceled.
can we have any option to execute the process chain job in SM37 rather than executing in RSPC.
pl help me in this regard.
Thanks
Pinky Reddy

in RSPC, schedule the job... while scheduling put the time you want to execute the process chain.
in SM37, you can then change the job time..
