Process chain on a particular day and multiple times

i have a requirement to run a process chain 2 times on saturday (one at 3pm and another at 8 pm) for a particular process chain only !!
how do i do this ?? some one please help....

Here's one idea:
Create an ABAP program that calls the RSPC_API_CHAIN_START Function Module. In this program, create a selection screen that has the same selection criteria as this Function Module. When you have tested the program and ensures that it works properly, create a variant for that program, for the selection selection screen criteria, and save that. After you have transported the program and variant throughout your landscape, schedule two separate jobs in tcode SM36 of your production environment. One as a weekly periodic job that is scheduled to start on a Saturday @ 3:00 PM and another weekly periodic job that is scheduled to start on a Saturday @ 8:00 PM.

Process chain failing on particular day

Hi Experts,
I am new to BW.I have an issue with one of the daily running process chain.
It is a time based daily running process chain and usually completes in 10mins.It is running fine from monday to saturday but on every sunday this chain is getting failed at one of the Infopackage.
And this infopackage is loading to the data target, which is a standard cube 0TCT_C01 and no other infopackge is loading to this target when this chain runs.So no conflicting issue araises.
Upon analysis, this infopackage is getting failed with short dump issue on every sunday.On checking the dumps in T-code : ST22 , it shows the error " DBIF_RSQL_SQL_ERROR".
Could anyone please suggest me, what all other things I need to check, to find and analyse the exact root cause of the failure on every sundays?
Appreaciate the for your quick responses.

Hello Cris,
Normally the Error DBIF_RSQL_RSQL_Error corresponds to the tablle deadlock related Error.
It includes various reason like
1. Some process is using the table and your process tried to intervene
2. Duplication of data in table where not allowed. etc etc
Please closely observe the Dump, you will get the particular reason for that Error definitely.
or please copy paste dump here we can analyze.
Hope this helps !

Run process chain on last three days of the month

Hello
I need to run process chain on last three days of the month. For example , It should run on 28, 29 and 30th dates of June.
There is no option to put a code in the start process of the process chain.
I can run it every day and put a code in the infopackage/DTP so that empty load (0 records) will be done on other days.
This doesnt sound as a good option.
Do u know any other options?

Hi
See the code and details how to do it, and change the code as per your requirement.

Hello,
PC can be started both manually and automatically.
Every PC has a start variant, when you right click on the start variant and go in the edit option, select the option direct scheduling. Then in change selection, check the box immediate and keep the periodic job at the bottom unchecked.
Hit the tick, save on the other screen. And when back on the PC screen, from the menu option select the schedule option.
This will run the chain manually.
To run it automatically, follow the same procedure but instead of using immediate choose, data and time, provide date and time when you want to run, you can check periodic option if you want the chain to run daily, weekly or monthly.

Restore your catalog from a backup of your catalog which was made before you did this.

Problem in process chain running for 3 days

Hi Experts,
Please help me
We have process chain like below
1.     delete index
2.     full loads going 3 cubes (16 infopacs)
3.     loading to ods and then update to cube
4.     delete overlapping requests (16 infopac)
5.     create index
6.     aggregate filling
7.     delete PSA
Now the issue is, from last Saturday onwards
Process chains was still in Yellow status till date, so now, 1,2,3,4, are still running
In process chains, out if 16 infopacs, 12 are green, remaining 4 are stopped
And in ODS activation of ods data variant shows yellow, but when checked the data is activated, but not pushed to cube. When checked log it show u201Csystem exception error_messageu201D, so process terminated.
When we checked for shortdump,
It says u201Clocal time on the application server is incorrectu201D
Experts please let me know how to solve this and correct the load.

Hi Experts,
Thank u for your help,
I have done the steps manually yestarday, checked todays, still it is in yellow status.
let me explain the scenario,
The data is going to 3 cubes,
the process chain is designed like this,
1. initially delete index
2. full load to cube using 16 infopac and loading from (2)ODS to cube.
3. delete overlapping requests
4. create index (3 cubes)
5. fill aggregates (only one cube)
6. Delete PSA request
so now , chain is having problem at
1. data is loaded to ods
2. data activation (showing yellow, but when checked data is activated)
3. further update to cube (2 cubes) in process chain this is not started atall ( so y'day I've done manually)
4. out 16 infocpack, only 12 infopacs are green and remaining 4 are not started.
so yestarday I've manually schedule remaining 4 infopacs.
and deleted previour requests in infocube as they are full load, but I did'nt done create index and fill aggregate steps.
now the problem is , out of 3 cube report available request is present for 2 cubes, but for 3 cube this report request is not available, but QM status is green
please let me know how to proceed.
one small silly question, do i need to fill aggregate step to get this report available request.....please suggest.
Thanks & Regards,
Raghu

Process chains problems : Working every day with error (red)

Hi All,
I have a next question, about process chains problem.
When I start my process chains immediate, then working without errors, but I want this process chains work every day and chainged properties, selected date/time and periodicaly (every day) but now it work with error.
How to I find problems? What are yours offers?
p.s. I see logs, but every day have diffence between errors.
Regards,
Mahir M. Quluzade

HI,
just check the time which you have given is OK or is overlappintg with some other job which is locking your table in process chain
or is colliding with attribute change run
or it fails because of lack of background processes.
There could be numerious reasons and you need to analyze the log for this.
But as you said the job is failing everday for different reasons..try to find the most common errors and try to remove it or mention that here.
Thanks

Process chain - schedule for certain days

Hello all,
How can I schedule a process chain that :
-should run 3 times per day
-between the 8th and the 12 workingday of a month
Any sugesstions?
Thank you.

Maybe I cna help others with my solution.

When I am in the 18-th day, I raise an event. I test the year,the calender of the system and the month (January).
This report is called in the chain, as ABAP process.
Then, in my chain , I put a local chain , that starts after it receives the event 'ZE_PROD' and the parameter for it 'ZE_PROD'.
This event with parameter has to be created in SM62.
I hope this helps and thank you all for the advices.
PS: - the factory calender method seems not to be to good, because need special rights to create it and I don' t think it's possible to customize it (because the holiday calender has to be changed and I did not see how).

Process Chain - Decision Step - 1st Day of Month

Hi All,
I have a process chain decision that detemines if it is 1st of Month,
1st Line
Command -> IF
Formula -> WORKINGDAY_MONTH( Current Date, 'IE', '' ) = 1
then
Event - > Option 1
2nd Line
Command -> Else IF
Formula -> WORKINGDAY_MONTH( Current Date, 'IE', '' ) <>1
then
Event -> Option 2
3rd Line
Command -> Else
then
Error.
However, this month it has failed to work correctly. It was sucessful on 1st Jan, but it is also triggering Option 1 on 2nd, 3rd & 4th Jan. Can you help me to understand why it is doing this?
Thanking you,
Michelle

Thank you Npathak,
The process chains should run everyday therefore I don't understand how this would affect the process chain.
This is just a decision step at the end of the Daily Meta Chain, where if it is the 1st of the Month, it will continue and process a DTP for Stock Balances. The problem I have is that for the last 3 days, it has continued to process final step eventhough it is not 1st of Month.
For info; When I check the decision logic in the variant, I can see that the date that is being used in syst-datum.
Have you any other ideas?
Thank you,
Michelle

Creation of Multiple Activities for same Employee,same day and same time

Hi Experts,
In CRM 2007 I am creating an Activity(e.g Customer Visit) for a particular day for a particular employee. I am selecting the Option "Whole Day".
When again I am creating another Activity same day and for same employee the ideally system should not allow me to create further activities as I have already scheduled for the whole day but its is allowing me to create as many activities i want irrespective of Time frame.
I want to block overlappped activities created for same emloyee same time.
Can you please suggest me with your ideas inorder to achieve same???
Regards
Arup

Hello,
If there is no standard solution you can implement the BADI : CRM_ORDERADM_H_BADI
Here you can see when a new activity is created, and then maybe you can cancel the creation or even replace the new activity by the existing one.

Process chain for a particular selection profile

Hi, How can I create a process chain in DP to run only for selected selection profiles?

Hi Gurucharan
If you want DP back gorund jobs in the process chain, you will select the DP background processing step under demand planning. However the system will ask you to create a job and an activity so that you can attach the same to the process varaint while adding the step in the process chain.
While creating the job, you can select the selection profile and the aggregation level at which you want to run the job.
It is here that you can that you restrict your step to be executed only to your selection profile.
For creating the selection profile, you can either create the same in //MC77 or use the selection ids that you create the in the DP planning books.
Let me know if this helps.

Process Chains - Like to see elements and affected info providers

Hi,
I am wondering if there is any possibility to get an overview of all active process chains with their process elements/steps and the affected objects within these steps/process chains (like infocubes, ODS etc.). In principle it's a process chain detailed view (like in RSPC chart) but not as a chart and not for one PC only but in a list for all PCs. So far I took a look into various tables like RSPCCHAIN (master table for process chains), RSPCVARIANT (attributes for certain process step types of a process chain), and RSPCVARIANTATTR (certain process types) but want to avoid any further effort to combine all these in Excel if there is an easier way to get that information.
Background of my query is that we have a certain set of high-priority process chains and I need to know all involved info providers (Info Cubes, ODS, PSA etc.) to give the Operations guy a heads-up whenever something is not fine with these providers. So having a query where I can input the set of PCs would be great.
Any feedback is highly appreciated.
Regards,
Oliver.
P.S.: An overview of tables where this information resides (between RSPCCHAIN, RSPCVARIANT, and RSPCVARIANTATTR) would also be helpful.
Edited by: Oliver Baer on Feb 25, 2009 9:33 AM

Thanks for your replies. Transactions RCPCM and RZ20 are pretty helpful for monitoring purposes.
Anyway, for my described purpose I have designed a query with the QuickViewer (SQVI) joining tables RSPCCHAIN (Process Chains), RSPCCHAINT (PC description), and RSPCVARIANT (attributes for the steps within a PC). When I filter for field RSPCVARIANT-FNAM = "DTA-CUBE" OR "DTA-ODSO" I get all Cubes and ODS for a given process chain (RSPCVARIANT-LOW). Only drawback so far is that I don't get the explosion of meta chains and have to select each of the included chains separately but that's feasible as we don't have many nested chains.
Regards,
Oliver.

Process chain executed synchronously produces dump and hangs

Process chain (RSPC) being executed synchronously hangs on a step (not first) with yellow status. Analysis of ST22 shows there is dump: RAISE_EXCEPTION
The chain loads data from flat files on frontend to several characteristics (attributes and texts). All the steps are sequential.
After the start first file is loaded successfully (info package), subsequent data transfer process has no errors too. But the second info package becomes yellow and hangs just after ( after some time timeout occurs and the step becomes red). In ST22 i see dump, text of the dump is below. Analysis of the dump reveals that 'GUI_UPLOAD' FM doesn't work during execution of the second info-package.
The chain looks as follows:
1. Info package 1
      V
2. Data transfer process 1
      V
3. Info package 2              <-------   hangs here because of dump
      V
4. Data transfer process 2
     V
Hangs on step 3 (infopackage 2).

If i load the step manually it works. The hung step is possible to re-execute after it gets red (with context menu) and it works then. After that it hangs on the 3rd info-package and so on.
The file lays on a network drive, but i suspect it doesn't matter

Process Chain that uses a DTP and locks up with CX_RSBK_REQUEST_LOCKED

Hello Experts,
I am making a program to start a PC inside a loop. This Loop has several dates and ODS ID's. The problem is that inside the loop I make a call to FM RSPC_API_CHAIN_START, after this I have a WAIT UNTIL 30 SECONDS command so that the process has enough time to finish loading data. Each time the loop starts I change the name of the .txt flat file that te PC is going to load and store it inside a Z table with a rutine inside the DTP calling it every loop cycle. And so every time the Process Chain starts it should load a different file into a specifyc ODS. The problem comes at the second loop in which through the RSA1 transaction I find out that the chain is locked with an exception CX_RSBK_REQUEST_LOCKED and the subsequent calls to the Process Chain simply don't start at all. One solution I found was to delete the last Petition Request ID in the table RSSTATMANPART.
I use RSSM_DELETE_REQUEST to delete that request using that ID and the cube name.
Now this doesn't work either.
PROGRAM SUMMARY:
LOOP WITH ODS THAT NEED LOADING INTO BW ODS
    DELETE PETITION REQUESTS FROM RSSTATMANPART WITH YELLOW OR RED STATUS.(So that PC can start)
    CHANGE FILE THAT DTP ROUTINE WILL LOAD
    START PROCESS CHAIN
    WAIT A CERTAIN AMOUNT OF TIME FOR PC TO FINISH
ENDLOOP.

Hi saveen,
I've checked the transaction sm50 to check the available processes and I have 8 BTC(batch), 5 DIA(dialog), 2 UPD(update), 1 ENQ(enqueue) and 1 SPO(spool). Are these the ones you are asking about? I assume you refer to BTC which I believe 8 is enough....correct me if Im wrong here as Im starting out with this please.
Thing is that Im trying to automate this whole process (for loading various file types(headers.txt, details.txt, payments.txt, etc), for various centers and several months...this is why I want to automate the whole process, so I dont have to go manually through all this data loading. So what I did was try to start the chain inside a loop for every new combination of dates that DIDN'T EXIST in the ODS tables. The process chain is supposed to call a DTP that uses a routine to see which file is going to upload to BW but only does it the first time.
The problem comes with the second cicle of the loop in which the petition request for the DTP is already green, nevertheless the next start of the chain doesn't come as there seems to be no creation of another request and the exception CX_RSBK_REQUEST_LOCKED in the transaction RSPC.
Appart from this whenever I try to delete the last request so that this way it does create another request(rnr) in RSSTATMANPART through the use of RSPC_API_CHAIN_START the data in my ODS does not stay and is deleted.

Process chain on a particular day and multiple times
