Process Chain Missing variant REMOVED

every time i go to RSPC and open any process chain i got a message " Varaint &0000000000526 does not exist" , when i click more help
Variant &0000000000526 does not exist
Message no. DB612
Diagnosis
You selected variant &0000000000526 for program RSPROCESS.
This variant does not exist.
Procedure
Correct the entry.
i dont want to know to go to each process chain to figure this out, is there a program that can find this out for me or an easier way to figure this out?
<REMOVED>
thank you

Do you have any cancelled batch jobs?
Try this. Use SM37 and put in BI_PROCESS* for job name and * for user name and look for any cancelled jobs.
If there is, click on the job and look at the Step of the job. Here you will see the ABAP program RSPROCESS and the Parameters will be that SAP assigned number. Click on the Step and from the top select Goto --> Variant. The next screen will show show the associated variant within the process chain that this job is executing for.
Does this help?

Process chain program variant will not change from yellow...

Hello,
<b>Problem:</b>
I have a process chain that has two branches with 3 process chain variants on each leg in a parallel configuration. The process chain variants run different program variants. I am using variant object called "ABAP Program with Success/Failure " which can have a yellow, green, or red status and has status arrows that can be either red or green that connect to other process chain variants. The program executed with these variants is a customized BPS UPC_BUNDLE_EXECUTE program. When I run this PC the first variant on each leg usually hangs indefinitley on the yellow status. In the Backg tab log (double click PC variant in Log View) I can see the various SQL code that was ran. The last line of the log is an SQL-END:... Sometimes it will get past the first 2 varaints and hang on the next set of 2. Other times it will just hang on the last variant of one leg. It is very sporadic.
<b>What I have observed and tried:</b>
If I check my SM51 for the server the chain is running on I can see that the program in question is not running. If I run the same program through SE38 that runs via a PC variant it runs sucessfully in an appropriate amount of time. If I kill the process that has been running indefinitley through SM51 the process chain variant will go from a yellow status to a red as expected.
I changed they way I ran the programs from running in parallel in 2 legs to running all of them in one leg serially. That did not work. At least one program variant will hang on the yellow status.
I replaced all the variants using "ABAP Program with Success/Failure" to "ABAP Program" which has a red/green status but no red or green arrows, but black coming out of the variant forcing it to move down the chain on a sucess or failure. The process chain variants also hung in the yellow status using the "ABAP Program" variant.
I have tried starting the process chain using both "Direct Scheduling" with "Immediate" and "After Event." I have also kicked it off using "Start Using Meta Chain or API" so it was functioning as a sub process chain. Programs were still yellow in every case without changing to red or green.
I created new process chain variants for every single program/variant that I am using. Still no luck.
I have tried removing the chain from the schedule and re-activating and re-running and still no luck.
Thanks in advance,
Gary Martins

Process chain Activation Variant failed

Dear Gurus
In BI7 executed a process chain,in this ods activation is in 4 th step,turned in to red,i repeated and got executed.
Questions:
1.I checked in DSO all data got activated,only in process chain showed red status....how it is possible.
2.Eventhough 4th step turned in to red,below all (5,6,7...th steps) went through,how it happened,if some variants failed means next variant should not get executed?
3.When i did repeat it thrown ABAP debugging screen,i executed and went through well,ods activation variant became green.
When i was trying to see display message,it is empty no error message.
Root cause analysis i should give...pls how and where to do the analysis.....
Thanks and regards
T.Gadhatharan

Hi,
1.I checked in DSO all data got activated,only in process chain showed red status....how it is possible.
In the ODS Activation Process, is there any other ODSs existed for activation?
2.Eventhough 4th step turned in to red,below all (5,6,7...th steps) went through,how it happened,if some variants failed means next variant should not get executed?
After the 4th Step, the further processes executed means, they might have put the settings as Success or failure of the predecessor process it can through the further 5th, 6th and 7th processes.
3.When i did repeat it thrown ABAP debugging screen,i executed and went through well,ods activation variant became green.
Check for short dumps ST22.
Hope it helps.

Process Chain - Start Variant

Hi Guys.
I have a process chain and a start variant, but then when I transported. It seems not be transported the variant. CAn you please help me with this?
Regards,
Iván.

check in forum, you will find lot of threads...
1. Goto RSA1 --> Transport Connection.
2. select objects by Object Types.
3. You can see "Process Chain"
4. double click on it. inthat select your process chain. go with transfer selection.
5. Your process chain will transferred to right hand side. check the Grouping options on the right side tool bar. go with "Necessary Objects" under Grouping.
6. you can see all the list od variants in that. go with transport icon on right side tool bar. you need to make sure all process variants collected in this.

Process Chains - How to remove prcesses using a report or FM

Hi Friends,
Is there a way to remove porcesses from a Process Chain without using TC RSPC?
I've to remodel huge Process Chains and would like to avoid using TC mentioned.
I'm knowing IDs of Process Chains and processes to be removed and searching
for a program doing removing automatically. Any suggestions?
Thanks in Advance & Regards
Joe

Thanks Vishal and M.,
Of course you're right, and exactly this was the reason why I didn't want to delete records from table RSPCCHAIN
manually or by a customer report. MY idea was to use a standard program from SAP, 8Mtehod, FM,...).
I've to confess i was to lazy to debug RSPC to find the place were deletion of processe is coded.
I think using this would be a proper solution for my issue.
It really sucks to to this in GUI witin huge PCs. Just to poszion cursor on the right place....

Process chain start variant repaired in production

Hi
I took up tasks from our previous Bi team
I am told we have followed the regular process of DEV -- QA and PROD for all process chains
I see a strange observation in Production for a particular process chain in its start variant
It is shown to run as immediate in the start variant, in the detail view , but
it runs scheduled at a certain time every day, I can see the scheduled jobs released
I see that in production it is attached to a request in repaired status
process chain works fine and triggers regularly
I am unable to understand why it shows as immediate in the start variant and however runs on a regular schedule

Hi
1) why does the start variant of this META chain show up as immediate, when it is actually running scheduled ?
are you able to see the chain in green color(scheduled state).
when you right click on start process chain step and you have option to select display scheduled job?..if yes check the start condition by double click on job.
2)Does the change directly in production, could have brought in this behavior?
We can change the start condition of process chain, when right click on start variant and select display variant..here you can see last changed name
3) If , I re transport the whole META chain from DEV-QA --PRD , will the start variant change or will it cause trouble considering the fact that the start variant was repaired in PROD directly.
No need to transport again, if you know the start condition of process chain, edit the same in prod and save it.

Venkatesh

Process Chain variants

Hi, we have recently made a copy of our BW Production system to our Quality system. The variants for the Process chains were not copied during the copy.Because of this, now whenever we try to execute a process chain in quality we keep getting the pop up screens repeatedly saying that the variants are not existing. We are hitting the enter key to avoid these pop up screens.
I would like to know how to get rid of this problem and schedule the process chains smoothly.
Thanks in advance..

Hi
If you have necessary authorization, you can remove the current process chains without variants and again you can repeat the copying of all process chains from Prod to quality with all the variants....this will take a little bit of work but solve your problem one for all
Hope this helps

Program Variant in Process Chain

Hi All,
I have to execute a program in a Process Chain. I have included a process variant to execute the program. Now, this program bring us to a screen, where we need to click on the execute button to run that program. I need to add a program variant for this i guess. Can any one give me the procedure how to do this?
Points will be awarded.
Thanks in advance,
Anjum.

The program that you have written should run in background.
We use Variants for ABAP programs to be run in the Process Chain
- Create an ABAP variant
- Choose call mode "Synchronous", Called from "Local". Thats mostly the default we use. choose according to your requirement.
- Choose "Program". Choose the program name & the variant n ame. Its better if you create the variant while testing the program in sa38. Later you can use the same variant in the Process Chain ABAp variant OR can create a new one. Set appropriate values.
Please note that if in SA38, your program ran successfully with the variant, it should run here as well.
That should do.
Regards
Anujit Ghosh
Edited by: Anujit Ghosh on Jun 17, 2008 12:36 PM
To create the program variant, first enter a name of your choice in the program variant field. Click Edit.
- Choose Create New
- Choose "Values". Click Change. In teh next screen, enter all the required parameters. Choose if its a SAP standard prog, or modified program.
- Check the attributes as well. It will usually choose selection screen 1000 as default. Let it be.

Process chain--how to schedule the variant even if there is no repeat opt.

Hello Gurus,
Can anybody help me out like the issue was...
when monitoring the process-chain,the variant-load infopackage was successfully completed the status was green,and next to that there was a update from the PSA variant and then to that there is a ATTR.chane run variant,process chain strucked at these two variants.when i look into that there was no repeat option on both the variants. so how could i schedule that from at that point.
Thanks in advance for the solution!
Regards,
Dilip

Hi Dilip,
You have to do the remaining process steps manually.
If the the failed process step is loading proces step, then make the QM status of that upload to Red and then refresh the process chain.. Some times you will get the repeate option with that.
Or else end the process as described below:
When ever the load fails in a process chain we need to check whether its a load error or a non-load error. For load we need to rectifie the error manually nd need to run the program which is given SAP SE38.
RSPC_PROCESS_FINISH for this we need to pass some parameters.
like process chain name. variant, instance and the status. Here status we will give as 'G'. so that chain can identify that the previous process has been successful nd run the remaining processes automatically.
Refer the below Blog

Problem in process chain after upgrade

Hi,
We recently upgraded our sysetm to BI7.0 version.When I tried to run a process chain,it failed at the data load step.I tried to see the message but it is throwing an error like "object not persistent".so can somebody let me know what is the error here...
Thanks
Karthick

Hi Karthik
I assume variant(EXOR) has been used in another process chain which is inactive status, if we create Process Chain 'A' with variant (EXOR) and create another Process chain 'B 'with same variant(EXOR) and inactive status, PC 'A' doesn't execute though its in active status, it will work only when both process chains were in active status, please find in which process chain this variant has been used, remove/activate variant(EXOR) and execute your primary process chain, hope this will resolve your issue, please let me know if this doesn't resolve your issue

How to stop/cancel Process Chain in BI 7.0

Hi,
Could you tell me how to stop/cancel a process chain that hangs with status yellow or green in BI 7.0? There was an easy option to do it in 3.x, but I cannot find a similar option in 7.0.
What happens is that at random our process chains hang at a certain variant with either yellow or even green status and do not proceed further. What happens is that in a couple of hours another pchain run occurs and it executes fine. Then again at random (might be the same day or the next day) the process chain hangs again. I think that all those "hanged" pchains pile up in the queue, so that it cause other future pchains to hang as well at some point. So, is there anyway to stop/cancel these zombie process chains when it stops at a particular event RSPROCESS in BI 7?
Thank you,
AG

Hi Frank,
Thanks for your reply. I have a few questions.
1)SM37 -->Kill Job
We cannot do that because the job has already finished.
2)SM50/sm66- ->Kill process
There are no hanged processes to kill
3)RSPC>Job Log>Make the process RED forecefully
How do you do that exactly?
4)RSPC>Process chain> main Menu"Remove from Scheduling" OR
5)se37-->RSPC_API_CHAIN_INTERRUPT
give RFC BW system name(technical) and process chain name(technical) - we can do this, but what exactly would it accomplish. Would it remove the process chain from any runs in the future or also any hanged ones in the past? An how is this step different from #4?
Thank you,

How to stop process chain if it yellow for long time

hello all,
I see that my process chain is running for long time and is yellow for more than last 24 hours now. I can see where the chain is stuck(not going ahead).
What do we normally do in such scenarios?
Also one more question I have is about delete PSA request process variant. Can i use the same variant in two different process chains, is yes than do I have to include the name of the PSA tables that are in both the process chains. When the variant runs in 1st chain does it delete the PSA tables from the second chain as well..(i hope i made this clear)
Thanks in advance

Once you have done with your init load manually. Then in case it was just the start of the process in ur Process Chain then first remove the chain from schedule and then go to the start process of the process chain and save the setting for immediate, uncheck the periodic box and save and then come out of the screen and then execute and activate the chain.
Note:
1. Before changing the setting in the start process make a note of the start time and also its periodic value.
2. Once the chain is completed then change the setting in the start process back to previous start time and periodic value.
3. Dont forget to save and activate the chain.

Triggering Process chains through abap code

Hi Experts,
Can you please let me know if it is possible to trigger a BW Process chain using an abap code.
If yes , kindly let me know the sample code.
Help done would be appreciated.
Regards,
Uday

Hi Thanks for your reply.
When I am trying to execute process chain with variant as a APD ( In this APD data is getting loaded form one Query to Transactional ODS.) This process chain being executing through one ABAP program using the following code
CALL FUNCTION 'RSPC_API_CHAIN_SCHEDULE'
EXPORTING
I_CHAIN = 'XYZ'. ( Dummy Process chain name)
While executing this program I am getting following message :
You can specify the name of the application server here
on which all jobs in the chain are scheduled
If you do not specify a name, the jobs from batch
management are divided between the available servers
How to avoid this message.
Can we write any code in the above program to assign any fixed server name so that it will not ask for any server name.
Your help is much appreciated.

Failed meta chain maintenance in Process chain in SAP BI

Hi all,
I have a Process chain having the meta chain of master data population.When successful , proceeds with the further steps in process chain. It has been scheduled in midnight.
After monitoring the PC , found the error in the master meta chain , so i repeat the step.
Here , after success of meta chain all steps gets running down the line till the end step in PC.
I do not want to re-run the steps below meta chain after repeat step.
Any Ideas to ignore the re-run ??

Hi,
If your Process is still running(Yellow color status) then right click it and go to Schduled Jobs. On this you will go to Job Overview there you can press STOP.
Else go to the SM37, there you can go and select your process using your process ID and STOP it.
And if you want to kill the complete process chain then go for Remove from Schedule.
Different Ways to stop process chain
1)SM37 -->Kill Job
2)SM50/sm66- ->Kill process
3)RSPC>Job Log>Make the process RED forecefully.
4)RSPC>Process chain> main Menu"Remove from Scheduling" OR
5)se37-->RSPC_API_CHAIN_INTERRUPT
give RFC BW system name(technical) and process chain name(technical)
Steps 1 -3 stops the chain running in process
Steps 4-5 stops the chain AFTER the current job which is running is completed as sucessful or Failure by nature.
Hope this helps you.
