Process Chain schedule time difference

Hi Gurus,
I schedule an process chain, Timing which I set is 23:55:00, But it is start running daily at 23:00:48.
Before 1 hour, Why it is happening, could someone suggest.
Thanks in advance
Regards
Devesh

Dear Devesh,
Sorry for the delay .... I want to know that have u checked all the scheduled jobs with "Start Process --> Right click ---->Display " .
U can do one more thing ... delete the all scheduled job related to that particulate PC & ensure that no next job is available with click on the next start button (tcode -rspc) & then again reschedule it as immediate if it starts immediately then I believe there is no DST problem ...do it for all the 3 process chains & see the results.
Also please tell me there is any others jobs which are starting on the right time.
Regards,
Pooja

Process chain 3 times schedule a day

Hi Experts,
In my requirement is to schedule the process chain 3 times a day but different times like 5am, 12pm, and 4pm.
Could you please anyone reply to step by step procedure.
Advance thanks

Sathis

Hi,
1)You can make the process chain to be trigered by an event.
You create user events in SM62. In SM62, next to "User even names", click on Maintain and press Enter. Click on the Create icon to create a new event (let's call it ZEVENT).
Next, in your process chain, change the Start variant to be scheduled "After event", and put in ZEVENT for the event name. Also, click on the "Periodic job" at the bottom. This will automatically reschedule the jobs for the process chain after it executes.
Next, create an ABAP program (let's call it Z_EVENT_RAISE) to call the function module BP_EVENT_RAISE. You're code can look like this:
codeREPORT Z_EVENT_RAISE.
PARAMETERS: P_EVENT LIKE TBTCO-EVENTID.
CALL FUNCTION 'BP_EVENT_RAISE'
EXPORTING
EVENTID = P_EVENT.
IF sy-subrc 0.
MESSAGE ID SY-MSGID TYPE SY-MSGTY NUMBER SY-MSGNO
WITH SY-MSGV1 SY-MSGV2 SY-MSGV3 SY-MSGV4.
ENDIF.[/code]
This ABAP program will prompt for an event name, so you will need to create a variant (let's call it ZEVENT) which will save the value of the event name (also ZEVENT). You will need the variant name to be able to trigger the event in a batch job.
Now all you need is the batch job. Use tcode SM36 to create a batch job where you call the ABAP program (Z_EVENT_RAISE) using the variant (ZEVENT).
Note, SM64 only triggers an event manually.
and you can copy this job to schedule it three times a day.
2)In the Start process of your process chain, select Direct Scheduling and then click the Change Selections icon. This will bring you to the Start Time window where you can put in the Date/Time you want to start your process chain. At the bottom of this window, click on the Periodic job box and you will notice another icon way at the bottom called Period Values. Click this to determine what frequency the job should be rescheduled (ie. daily, weekly, etc.).
3)you can do this by right-clicking on the start process, selection "Maintain Variant", choose "Direct Scheduling". Next select "Change Selections", pick your date and time, set your period values and you're done.
Hope this helps.

Need FM or Tables to see Process Chain scheduled(future) date and time

Hello Gurus!
         Can anybody tell me where/How i can get the Process Chain scheduled(future) date and time..?
   I mean, I want to see at what date and time is the PC scheduled for tomarrow/next month etc... Like TBTCO-SDLSTRTDT / TBTCO-SDLSTRTTM along with its Process chain name or PC's Start varient?
I will give the points for all the answers
          Bye.. Happy New Year

Hi Anil,
You can check in SM37 by giving the job name.then you can see when that particular chain is scheduled.
Goto SM37,
Give Job name = *
       User name = *
and select job status - ready,scheduled. then F8 (Execute).
Then you can see which job is schduled at what time and date.

Stopping Process Chain schedule for just one day...

Hi,
Our source systems and BI are getting a patch upgrade during this weekend and I need to stop all the Process Chains schedule for Friday night/ Saturday morning. Is there a simple way I can stop all the Process Chains from executing just for tomorrow instead of manually removing each PC from schedule and again putting them back on schedule on Saturday?
Thanks,
Sri.

Hi
You can reschedule them instead of de-schedule and schedule back.
1)open your process chain in rspc1
2) goto planning mode
3) right click on start --> display schedule job
4) select the job --> in menu bar --> click on first one from left --> change
here change the dates as per your requirement and save the job.
If you have any event based chains which are going to start after time based chains gets complete, no need to de-schedule as we are not going get trigger from time based chains.
I don't think so we have any program to de-schedule all the chains at a time.

Hi Reddy,
You may find the run time of a PC using below steps.
1. Call SE38 > /SSA/BWT > Execute > Enter your PC , choose the date and time > Execute. Here Run-time of a PC is displayed. (or)
2. Call RSPC1 > Enter your PC > Execute > Goto Log view > Right click on the start Variant > Displaying Messages > Note down the start time in Chain Tab. Now Right click on the last Process type of the PC > Displaying Messages > Note down the End time in Chain Tab. The Difference b/w start time and end time gives the Run-time of your PC.
Hope this helps.

Process Chain Schedule date

Hi
I have created a process chain and i have set it to run every day night.
The selection in the infopackage must be the present date like today 2007.09.16 and tomorrow it should be 2007.09.17.
Is there any way where it can change the date automatically instead of me changing the date in info package daily and activating the process chain daily.
Thanks

How can u know the process chain total time, individual time?

Hi guru's
How can u know the process chain total time, individual time?
and what options will available in sm37?
Thanks
prabha reddy

Hi Prabha
Iam not very sure about total time and individual times.
But you can go to tcode rspcm for monitoring the daily process chains. it gives you details like 1. status 2.start date & time 3. Log ID of each process chain.
or you can go to log view of particular individual chain to know how long it has run.
SM37: tcode for simple job selection.
here you check the status of job.
you can select for certain conditions like
1. scheduled
2. released
3. ready
4.active
5. cancelled
Assign points if it was helpful

How to know the process chain start time & end time?

HI all .
how to know the process chain start time & end time at the table level as well as in RSPC level .
regards,
Srinivas

Hello,
there is a program "/ssa/bwt" which will help you to know the exact time when the process was started and ended.
but the thing is you have to provide name of the process chain with the date at which it was executed.
another option is - you can double click on start process and on the last process of the chain.
here, you will get both the timings... Start time of the start process will be the start time of your PC and end time of the last process in the chain will be end time of your PC.
Hope this will help you.

Process Chains Scheduling

Hi All,
We have a requirement where we want to have data load on the last day of the month for each month.
Can anyone please explain how to accomplish this step by step through process chains scheduling??
Thanks in advance.
Points will be rewarded generously.

Hi Jayesh,
Here are the steps you can use.
1. Create an event in your BW system (SM62).
2. In your R/3 system, write a RFC enabled FM. Inside this FM, call 'BP_EVENT_RAISE'.
3. Create a program in SE38 and call the RFC FM using the destination as your BW system. In this program, you can use 'LAST_DAY_OF_MONTHS' FM to get the last day of month by passing SY-DATUM. I am writing some pseud code for you here.
RFC FM:
Import Parameters: EVENTID like TBTCO-EVENTID (check 'Pass Value').
CALL FUNCTION 'BP_EVENT_RAISE'
EXPORTING
    eventid                      = EVENTID.
SE38 Program:
data: date type dats.
CALL FUNCTION 'LAST_DAY_OF_MONTHS'
EXPORTING
    day_in                  = sy-datum
IMPORTING
   LAST_DAY_OF_MONTH       = date.
If sy-datum = date.
CALL FUNCTION 'ZBP_EVENT_RAISE'
      DESTINATION '<your BW system>'
    EXPORTING
      eventid       = EVENTID .
This should do the needful.
Hope this helps.
Thanks and Regards

Any sugesstions?
Thank you.

Maybe I cna help others with my solution.
So...
I made the chain to run 3 times per day as Debjani advidced me in this thread.
I put 3 jobs, at the hours I wanted, the period daily, without weekends and holidays.
I made a reports that tests the 18-th working day (for example) and some others:

WRITE CNT_ONE COLOR 5.
WRITE / .
WRITE ' The number of holiday days is :'.
WRITE CNT_ZERO COLOR 7.

CLOSE CURSOR GI_CURSOR.
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).

Problem in Process Chain Scheduling

Hi BW Experts,
We are running daily Process Chains in the Night Time.
Due to Memory Problem in BW Production Server we stopped all Process Chains on 20/09/2007.
Yesterday our memory problem solved. So I scheduled Process Chains Yesterday.
We have Timings like:
22:30 PM
23:00 PM
23:30 PM
23:50 PM
01:30 AM
06:00 AM
Yesterday we scheduled all Process Chains as per above timings.
But when iam going to schedule the 01:30 AM Timing Process Chain on 11-10-2007 , but it is taking 12-10-2007.
It is taking one extra day.
Generally it has to run today 11-10-2007. But why it is happening.
For 06:30 AM timing Process Chains also same problem.
So we noticed that after 12:00AM, it is taking one extra day.
Please give me the reply.
Thanks & Regards,
Anjali

Hi Venkat,
I scheduled it tomorrow at 01:30 AM , it is taking 13-10-2007.
If I schedule any process chian after 12:00 AM, it is taking one day extra.
This is happening since 5 months.
ECC 6 has been upgraded successfully in May month.
After ECC 6 Upgradation we are facing time delay problem.
Before ECC 6 Upgradation we never faced this problem.

Anjali

Process chain scheduling options

Hi Experts ,
whats the diffrence of Direct scheduling and Start using Metachain or API .
here the scenerio i have one metachain in that i have 4 local chains .
Metachain (direct scheduling)
1
1
Local chain 1 ( Start using Metachain or API) .
1
1
local chain2 (direct scheduling)
1
1
here when i triggred the metachain its not showing any logs and its not triggreing the localchain1 .
could u please explan the diffrence of scheduling options and suggest me to run the metachain successfully.
Advance thanks
Regards
guttireddy

Hi Guttireddy,
Direct Scheduling: When you activate the process chain the start process is scheduled in the background, as defined in your selections.
Start using Meta Chain or API:
Using API :You can use the SAP NetWeaver Scheduling Framework to start the chain and to have more extensive scheduling options.
Using Meta Chain :A metachain is a process chain, for which you determine this start condition, that is fixed to another process chain. The process chain is started directly by this metachain.If you start the start process using a metachain, it is not scheduled after you have activated the related process chain. The process chain is only started when the metachain, to which it is linked, is running.
Try the below points for your issue:
1. Let the settings for your Meta Chain be 'Direct Scheduling' > Change Selections> Choose required Date/Time. You may also Check Periodic Job and set Periodic Values if required.
2. Now coming to your Local chain 1 > Schedule even this with 'Direct Scheduling' > Change Selections > Check the Immediate start option> Uncheck the Periodic Job Option > Save.
3. Follow step 2 even for your Local chain 2.
4. Now schedule your Meta Chain, it should run fine.
5. You may even set your Meta Chain to run 'Immediate', but you have to trigger it manually everytime.
Hope this helps.

Process chain Schedule change

Hi,
I have process chains in which there is one info packages. I have changed the Schedule from once in a day to twice in a Day. But after that Process chain is not executing the infopackage. then I have changed the schedule in the infopackage and clicked start. After that I have changed the Infopackage to Start immediate and save the infopackage and came to process chain and again activated and scheduled but when I go to the info package it is still in the schedule mode. Previously this process chain is working fine but now it is not executing.   This contains two programs also. Please suggest me in this.
Thanks
naveen

Hi Naveen,
   Goto process chain and double click on start routine and specify the start timing make it periodic for evry 12 hours.
   Execute process chain, you can see as scheduled only. According to specified schedule times chain will be triggered.
Hope it Helps

Process chain schedule at 00.15,07.15 and 14.15 hrs daily?

hi experts,
My client ask me to schedule the process chain for 3 times in a day, because client has plants in EUROPE,USA,AUSTRALIA.
The process chains must run 3 times per day e.g. 00:15, 07:15 and 14:15.
How can i schedule the process chain specified like everyday at 00.15, 07.15 and 14.15 hours (these hours based on EUROPE).
but in the process chain variant we can schedule in the other period for hours, but as asked by client above hours how can achieve ?
please provide the solution..
Regards
Venuscm
Edited by: venu WAD on Dec 6, 2011 7:07 AM

Hi Venu,
Please follow the below points.
1. First schedule your PC to run daily at 00:15 ( Goto your PC> Planning view> Right Click on Display Variant>Change Selections> Date/Time> Enter date and time )
2. Goto your PC> Planning view> Right Click on Display Variant> Display Schedule Jobs> Select the job> Click on Job(Menu)> Copy
3. Now change the value of time from 00:15 to 07.15(Let the date remain same).
4. Repeat step2,3 and create another job for 14.15 run also.
5. Now there should be three individual jobs (00.15, 07.15 and 14.15) if you check in Display Variant> Display Schedule Jobs.
6. Make sure the PC completes before the other run starts (to prevent lock issues).
Note: As the time gap between the PC here is 7Hrs you may follow above steps but if its 8Hrs , then directly schedule the Pc with single Job selecting the Perodic Values as 8Hrs.
Hope this helps
