Process chain remains yellow even it is OK

Hello,
I have a process chain which contains many master data loadings.
It can happen that when I log in the morning and check my process chain that have been executed during the night, I always have processes in yellow (not finished).
However when I look these processes in yellow, I can see that the job and loading has been finished a long time ago (in green, everything ok) and I can see that a new event has been executed to follow the process chain.
So why does the process doesnt finish and take green color ?
I didn't see any OSS note about that problem. Does anybody know about it ?
Regards
Vanessa R.

Hi,
Activate the process chain once and schedule it again.
Hope this helps.

Process chain remains in yellow for long hours

Hi friends,
My process chain remains in yellow state for many hours.
when i check the the message , it shows as chain has been removed from scheduling. Is that a problem or what may be the problem?
generally if a problem of PC remaining in yellow for long time , what are the Tcodes to be looked into.
regards,
Rajesh

Hi Rajesh
GO to <b>RSPCM</b> check the sataus still its in yellow or green.If it is in yellow then
double clicjk on this it will takes to you in to the chain individually .Then check the
process ..
Or go to <b>RSPC</b> check wher exactly the chain is kicking.Then check the monitor
status of that particular process .This monitor u can achieve By double clicking on
the process-->it will show u a popup in that click on monitor.and then depends on t
the issue u can work and repeat .

Process chain doesn't even with errors in bacrground processes

Hi experts,
I need your help again.
My client is using a process chain to automate the consolidation process in SEM-BCS. This is done using variants of programs UCBATCH01 and UCBATCH11.
The problem now is that the process chain doesnu2019t stop even though the steps have errors. The validation tasks are the best example.
Do you know a way to make the process chain stop?
Best regards
João Arvanas,

Hi Marsy,
I'm having the same issue as discussed in this thread and since I am still very new in BCS I have some additional question
1. Is the status table for task that you are referring to = /1SEM/UCS001USV1 ?
2. I read in another source that status table only store the latest run log ? not historical ? is that true or would you might be aware of a historical table ?
3. The table split cons area task run status into each of the cons unit, so if one of them has error, basically the task error
Thank You,

Process chain is running even after the 'No Schedule After' date

Hi Experts,
          On 19th sep, we scheduled a process chain where the scheduled start date is 20th sep, 07:30:00 and no start after date is 22 sep, 00:00:01. The periodic value is 'Daily' and there is no restrictions for this load.
         But yesterday the process chain ran at 7. We checked tbe jobs that triggered and found that the start date and no start after date is changed to 21 and 23 respectively.
        But the last changed date for the process chain is 19th sep only.
        Anyhow, we removed the process chain from schedule. But, I want to know the reason for this load that loaded even after the 'No start after' date.
       Please help me to know why this issue happened...
Regards,
Yokesh.

I also have been caught by this option once : the "do not start after" is here to avoid problems of scheduling : let imagine your system can be stopped, for any reason, so the scheduling will be postponed. In this case, it avoid, for instance, to load data during the day. It's not for running a PC for only a certain period of time.

Process chain status RED even though successful

Hi Gurus,
Process of my procss chain show status as RED though it is successful and it does not stop the further processes. in the end whole chain is run successfully & this process showing red.
What could be the reason.
regards
Vikash

which process is failed data loading or activation job? is this chain automatically executed or some one scheduled manually? in general when a process failed and we ran it manually and you donot get a repeate option then we can trigger the remaining processes of this process chain using a funtion module in SE38, seems your remaining chain ran in the same way, after this also your process chain overall status will be in Red, if it is data load then you can force it to Green ( you ran it manually), so that your chain over all status will become Green.

Process chain in yellow

hi sapgurus,
One of Meta chain in parent Process chain got stuck for a long time Yesterday,because the infopackages stayed Didn't run and stayed in yellow colour,So i manually restarted the Meta chain .Though the Meta chain process ran well ,Meta chain in main Parent chain is in Yellow colour since yesterday .
Is there any way to turn Manually the Metachain to red colour .
Thanks in advance.

Hi JS,
once check the infopackages, DTPs and other process steps are activated or not. if not, activated all those steps.
this will resolve your problem.

Activating Process chain with Yellow message about index recreation

Hi SDN Community
As part of a Process Chain which loads data into an infocube,
If an index recreation is not included in the process chain, we get the following warning message:
A type "Generate Index" process has to follow process "Execute InfoPackage" var.ZPAK_4CFH2W389QSOOUU1UVP8PBLFU in the chain
As we do not want to have the index recreation in this particular chain, and rather, another chain,
will there be any issue of having this process chain in this warning message mode without an index recreation.
Thank you.
Simon

Index recreation is not mandated because you have the option to either create it or not. Recreating/rebuilding your index improves read time and so it is recommended. If you are creating the index at a subsequent step you can confidently ignore the warning message.

Process chain in Yellow status

Hi All,
We have a strange situation.
We are having a meta chain with 2 local chains.all the steps in the local chain completed successfully. But the local chain status is in yellow, thats the reason the below local chain has not started.This is happening from 2 days.
We are in BI7 and in Patch 18.
Please suggest on this.
Thanks in advance

Process chain stops in infopackage with yellow status

Hi Gurus,
We are experiencing some difficulties regarding the use of process chains with warnings. Our SAP BI system is connected to an ETL server which feeds us with data from other systems. We have a query that has a push-button functionality that starts a process chain beginning with data extraction with an infopackage and ending in a infocube. The problem we have nowadays is that whenever the ETL workflow fails the infopackage status remains yellow, while our objective would be a red status. To try and solve this problem we forced a timeout in the infopackage. Once we check the log in the process chain it displays a message containing something like "status request modified , do you wish to add subsequent processes?", if we say yes it refreshes the status of the infopackage to red and it all goes ok. What we want is to get rid of this warning and that the status is automatically changed. We've checked other posts and we didn't reach any conclusion... Note 708480 gives us a possibility of automatic desicion but how could we integrate it in our process chains since it is based on shcedulling and not triggers?
Your help would be much appreciated,
Thank you
Bruno Rodrigues

Hi,
We have two connected links in the process, one to continue the process chain when process status is green and other link to red status. The problem is the process status remains yellow until our confirmation in pop-up.
The process chain should be started by user in web browser. So, it isn't possible run it in background.
Thank you,

Check syntax of process chain get three variants with yellow color

When I click the "Checking View" picture icon to check the syntax of process chain, find there are three variants with yellow color. All the displaying msgs of the three yellow color variants says:
There must be a type "Read PSA and Update Data Target" process behind process "Execute InfoPackage" var.ZPAK_3WN4PJ43QNW7DC2Z3ZV532ZFF in the chain
What does this mean? Do we have to take care of the three yellow color errors?
Thanks

Hi Kevin,
Sometimes you need to instruct process chains explicitly. Even though you have it mentione din your InfoPackage, still it needs another process (and variant) to load from the PSA to the data target. In the RSPC screen where all the processes are listed on the left hand side, under Load Processes and Post Processing, you will find Read PSA and Update Data Target as the second process.
Hope this helps...

BW: Not getting Dump For Program error in Process Chain

I have one issue regarding Master data loading issue in BW(3.5).
My business flow like we have received data from server A and Server A extract data from Server B and
Server B which is extract data from source(R/3).
Flow like this R/3-->Server B-->Server A(ETL) -
> My Server.
We have a mater data process chain and that chain we have have the source system Server A but in the process chain one process is there which is fethces data like global transport e.g UOM,factory calender etc through Custom program directly from Server B.
Oneday what happened On that process the process chain Yellow since more than 16 hrs.Once nextday process chain trigger the process chain runs sucessfuly.
But lastdays process chain paticular process stills remains yellow?
We are not getting any dumps and even if from Server A there is no logs then anyone could please tell me what is reason and how to solve it.
Note: it will be helpful for me if any one know how to check dump for program errors in Process chain as narated issue.

Guys, I am also facing the same issue.
When DTP is completed successfully, it has the job log blow :
Job started
Step 001 started (program RSPROCESS, variant &0000000391261, user ID BWREMOTE)
Performing check and potential update for status control table
Status 'Executable' (user BWREMOTE)
Status 'Active' (user BWREMOTE)
Program RSBATCH_EXECUTE_PROZESS successfully scheduled as job BIDTPR_335754_1 with ID 06532200
Job finished
When it fails or remain yelllow for long time and then turn into red.
Job started
Step 001 started (program RSPROCESS, variant &0000000391306, user ID BWREMOTE)
Performing check and potential update for status control table
Status 'Executable' (user BWREMOTE)
Status 'Active' (user BWREMOTE)
EXTRACTION OF DATAPACKAGE 000001
EXTRACTION OF DATAPACKAGE 000002
Job finished
The question is, why the program RSBATCH_EXECUTE_PROZESS is not scheduled. Is it because there is no free resource? Or poor response from SAP ECC?
Finally what does "EXTRACTION OF DATAPACKAGE 000001" mean? Its not scheduled?

Process chains - Process type ends with complex status

Hi all
does anyone know how to use this functionality ? I've created a custom process type that ends with complex status. I assume I assign the different statuses with parameter E_STATE. But how do I retrieve the status in the process chain ?
Thanks a lot.

Why will Process chain fail..

Hello,
Could you please provide me the reasons for failing process chains.
Thanks in advance,
G Raghu

Hi...........
1) Suppose a PC starts twice at the same time............then Start Process will fail due to Lock issue........PC will not proceed.......In this situation Start process will remain yellow for a long time......and if you check the job log.........you can see that job is cancelled.................
2) Suppose when a PC is in progress........someone again schedule the PC..........then it will stop at the point........when the PC was scheduled again..........it will not proceed furthur.........
3) Status of Data provider can fail............Suppose one target is not loaded in the defined time...........then this process will fail...........PC will stop.....
4) Drop Pass through can fail...................Suppose data is loade from Y1 to Y2.............but not loaded in Y3( Propagation memory).............this process will fail.....
5) Attribute change Run can fail................
6) * Run or Skip is fail*................Suppose whatever parameters maintained in table YGTTC_SKIP_PARAM for a IP does'nt match then this process will fail.................
7) Loads can fail due to several reasons.............
Hope this helps you........

Process Chain changing start time?

hi guysm i have 76 process chains that run every day in BWD system, so i removed all the timings from the start variant and in the infopackages, but it seems some process chains are still running, i did do the following steps on chnaging the time from a particular time to immediate, Save, Check and activate, i didnt schedule it as i dont want it to load right away .
do i have to hit check , save , schedule once i change the time from a particular time to immediate load or activate will work as well.?
what else could be the cause of process chains still loading even there are no events, or time given to any process chains at all.
i went to sm 37 and i can see the bi process are all running at the time they were orignially set up on.
so any suggestions would help,
is there any way from sm 37 i can tell which process chain is triggered off?
thanks
Dante(devils never cry)

Dante, the start conditions on the infopackages do not affect when they run in process chains. The process chains have their own start job. If you want to change the start time of a process chain, then you need to go to maintain the process chain, right-click on the Start process and select Displaying Scheduled Job(s)... . Here you will see a job called BI_PROCESS_TRIGGER. Change the start conditions of this job.
The start job for all process chains is BI_PROCESS_TRIGGER, so using SM37 may be difficult to identify which BI_PROCESS_TRIGGER job is associated to a particular chain.
Also, to let you know, each process in a process chain has an associated job. All jobs called BI_PROCESS_xxxxx are jobs associated with a process chain.
Eg.
BI_PROCESS_LOADING is an infopackage.
BI_PROCESS_TRIGGER is the start job
Does this help?

Error in process chain (psa data)

We have got an error in our PROCESS chain for master data.
Info object Name : 0customer
In that it was showing there was error in our request. When I wanted to correct data in the request there it was showing no error records. All the records are good and also it is showing as error in request. I have deleted the request from infoobject and also from the PSA. And the last updated good request is also showing error as No data packets available for the request .
0Customer is delta update ; Process chain is daily based.
My doubt is whether the records in the deleted requests will be reloaded again from sap R/3 into PSA, as requests during Process chain or not.
While monitoring the request details in Monitor u2013 Administrator Work bench, it shows the following:
1.     Requests (messages) Everything Ok
2.     Extraction (messages) Missing messages
3.     Transfer (IDocs and TRFC) Missing messages
4.     Processing (data Packet) No data
5.     Process chains : Everything Ok.
Even after deleting the requests my process chain is not getting updated.
Kindly help me in solving the above problem
Regards
Padma

Hi,
Once deleted the request, try to manually trigger the load and see whether it completes. if it completes and pulls reocrd then you can push the chain process ahead with the program RSPC_PROCESS_FINISH
