Process Chain Status Red, DTP status yellow, DTP is green from inside

Hello All,
I have a problem where the Process Chain status is red, but the process(DTP) status is yellow.
When I right click on the yellow process there is no error message and the DTP is green in Process Monitor.
But the chain did not complete and the rest of the process steps are grey.
After 20 minutes the Process Chain ran again(automatically after new data arrived) and this time without errors and it went green.
My question is, how to proceed with the red Process chain and complete the further process and make it green.
Regards
Alex

hi,
There are scenarios where you need to change status of a process chain or a particular step in process chain.
You might need to change the status in the cases where we need mark these steps successful so that dependent steps get processed. There are other scenarios where one needs to change the status of a single step in the process chain or status of whole process chain.
Step by step instructions on change process chain status
1. Right click on the failed step in the process chain monitor and go to displaying messages
2. Go to u2018Chainu2019 tab and note down variant, instance and start date
3. Go to SE16 and the table RSPCPROCESSLOG and enter variant, instance and start dates from step 2 and note down log_id, type, variant, instance.
4. Go to SE37 transaction and execute the function module RSPC_PROCESS_FINISH and enter the values from step 3 and enter the new status u2018Gu2019 in status field and execute the FM
5. This sets the status of the process chain (PC)
After you set the status using the FM, go to the monitor screen of the process chain, you will notice the changed status. Now dependent steps in the process chain will start running
Thanks

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,

Process chains in red(errors occurred), monitoring in green

Hi friends,I have same problems with the monitoring / process chains.
For exemples in the Monitor for OMAT_SALES in the tab Status I have green for Total and Technical with the message:
   Data successfully updated
   Diagnosis
   The request has been updated successfully.
   InfoSource : 0MAT_SALES
   Data type : Texts
   Source system: PRD-600
In the tab Details I have:
-the Overall status in red, error occures or missing messages
-the requests, extractions,transfers,processing-everything is Ok-green
-the Process Chains-errors occurred-red
In the transaction RSPC the infopackage for load data OMAT_SALES is red,the next infopackage in the chain is green.
What can I do to fix this problem for Process Chain in RSPC and also in Monitoring (tab Details)?
I will apreciate any answer,
Thanks,
Claudia

The next connected infopackage must be connected with Always link that's why its processed even after the failure node. Go and cross check what errors you got for the failed process, and reload it manually.

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...

PROCESS CHAIN ENDED RED

process chain Ending with error showing
Lock NOT set for: Deleting Data Completely from an InfoProvider
please help how to correct and what it means
regards

Hi,
In your process chain, you must be having a process for dropping cube contents. What happens is that, before you go to carry out any kind of updates(here updates means, adding records, changing records, deleting records) on a table, a lock would be set on the table so that no other user/ program can carry out any changes on this table.
This lock is set by using function module starting with ENQUEUE. Till this lock is active, no other program can carry out changes on this table. Then to release the lock on this table another function module DEQUEUE is used. Only after this function is finished, the table is released for changes by any other user/ program.
As you have got this error, it means that some other program was performing some tasks on this DSO/ infocube (loading data to/ from this DSO/ infocube) when your process chain reached the step to drop cube contents. Check if any other activity was being carried out for this cube/ DSO at that time. In order to avoid this from happening in future, change the timing of one of these processes.

Process Chain Failed for Perticular day, want to take load from R/3 for day

Hi Experts,
While monitoring the process chain i found that on 16 Nov2010 the schedule got failed then i checked but that was due to rfc connection to R/3 failed then again i repeated the process in RSPCM. But toady in the morning when i was checking i found that for 17 nov scheduled got run successful but when i drilled down on date for 16th data but it was failed for 16. Now please guid me how to bring the data for 16nov from R/3. My process chain contains both Master Data/ Transaction Data and Deltas / Full loads ???

Hi,
As you have mentioned in your post, the process chain for 17th has finished successfully, can you confirm if all the dataload also finished successfully?
If the dataload also has finished successfully, then ther is not much to be done from your side. Pplease note below points
1. For Delta Loads- No need to worry about them. For standard datasources, the system would have automatically fetched all the deltas since your last successful delta load. For generic datasources as well, based on previous delta pointer in RSA7, all the delta records would have got fetched.
2. For full dataloads- Check the selection criteria in your infopackages. If its based on date, then you would have to do dataload again.
The selection criteria for this dataloads should include the dates for 16th & 17th dataload. Everything else should be fine.
Else, if your dataload did not finish succesfully on17th, though the process chain has finished. You need to do below
1. For all the delta loads- Carry out Repeat Delta loads. This would fetch all the deltas missed. After this load, all the deltas would continue to come normally.
2. For full loads, perform same as mentioned in point 2 above.

Process chain overall status red - single processes green

Hi,
I'm monitoring a process chain in RSPCM. Some of the steps within the chain went red during the run but went green after repeating those steps. But now my overall status of the chain is still red. How can I set the overall status of a process chain without rerunning it? I don't want to set the status of a single process step but the overall status of the process chain as all steps of the chain are green now.
Cheers,
Alex

If you process chain is designed like
Ex: ZABC
Start-->Local Process chain
And assuming if any process failed inside teh local process chain , the entire Local process chain will be in Red, If you want forcefully change this ZABC chain, then
Goto Log view and Docuble click on the Local Process chain>Goto Chain tab>Copy the Variant and Instance
Goto Se11--> RSPCPROCESSLOG >Pass the copied Variant and Instance here and then execute>Copy the Log id from generated table entry
Now got Se37--> rspc_process_finish -->Enter the copied Variant , Instance , Log id , I_Type , I_State ('G' For Sucessfuly completed) and execute. Now the Local process chian will turn to Green and then the entire PC will in turn green(since this chain has only start process and Local process types, where as start process type is already in Green colour)
Or if you chain is designed like
Start>IP>Delete index>DTPCreate index...
Then Copy the variant and instance of the Last process type in the process chain and the same procedure as mentioned above

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.

To Make Process Chain Green From Red

Hi Guys,
can any one help in this..
i have a one Process chain at one step i.e DTP got failed and the below steps got success. i manually executed that DTP because the below steps are already successed.
Now in the Process chain it shows that DTP step is failed and other steps are success and Process chain is showing as RED, now i want to make that Process chain as Green. what i need to do?
i did the following steps even it is showing red in the RSPCM screen.
i_logid
i_type
i_variant
i_instance
i_state as 'G'
in the se37 using function module RSPC_PROCESS_FINISH
Thanks,
Naresh

hi,
you cannot change the status of the process chain as one of the step in it is red and the status of that red step was not changed. Why do you want to change the status of the chain? do you want to trigger some other chain, if yes then the Se38 program would have already triggered it. If you only want to change it to green to see it in RSPCM it is not possible.
regards,
Arvind.

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

Urgent help regarding process chain error

hi experts ,,
one of the process chain is not running properly for last 5 days ....

tried to process idoc manually but it didnt happen ...throughing same error....
one more thing here is same process chain status on 16th is in yellow status .....
its in yellow status at dtp load step ....on right click on dtp_load variant --->in batch montior --->job overview

i thought this status effecting others so tried to schedule the job couldnt ....
so deleted job in confession....
now and process which is bfr dtp_load is in yellow and whole chain is in yellow ....
what shall i do now ??how to correct this ??

or shall retrive deleted job wit basis ppl help???
please help me...
whoever helps me to fix this issue will rewarded wit full points and i will be greatful to them ...
Regars, \
Harry...

Yes, as rightly said you need to run the previous delta before updating new records in the latest request. If possible de-schedule the chains for a while, delete the old deltas (assuming you are using flexible updates?) and try to repeat the loads manually & proceed to activate & schedule once the delta has finished processing. If you still think this is an issue related to idocs processing, you can do the re-processing, provided they do not create fresh batch of idocs in the source system. You can re-process the idocs both inbound & out bound using reports like RBDAGAIN (But again, use extreme caution on these!). Please refer the #scn wiki on http://goo.gl/njVLS for more information on the idocs. For reprocessing please check this http://goo.gl/8aAcz. Thanks.

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,
AG

Problem delete chang log from process chain BW 7.01

We have upgrade BW from 3.5 version to 7.01 version two month ago.
Now I realized that the process chain running one a week to delete PSA and change log don't work well after upgrade.
The process chain end without errors (status is green), but the change log are not deleted.
In the test system I try to delete the Change Log in 2 mode:
1-with the variant "Deletion of Requests from the Change Log " and the datastoreobject = myods and all the option (correct request, incorrect request and "Delete Activation Requests Only"). In the log i see this messagge
The following excluded selections will be processed:
No excluded selections found
The following included selectiosn will be processed:
Pattern: DataStore = 0FIGL_O06, InfoArea = *
The following reqeust selections were set:
Number of days = 0000000010, Successful = X, Incorrect = X, Curr. Requests =
The following change logs were selected:
2-with the variant "Deletion of Requests from PSA " and the datasource= 8myods and all the option (correct request, incorrect request). In the log i see this messagge
The following excluded selections will be processed:
No excluded selections found
The following included selectiosn will be processed:
Pattern: DS = 80FIGL_O06, LS = BWTCLNT100, IS = , AC =
The following reqeust selections were set:
Number of days = 0000000015, Successful = X, Incorrect = X, Load requests =
The following PSAs were selected:
In both case the change log is not deleted.
I can delete the change log only using Manage screen of my ods and then using Menu -> Environment ->Delete Change Log Data.
Anna Maria

I see that this topic is still active/unanswered...
We're having the same problem, but not just changelogs, also for PSAs. We have a weekly process chain that does housekeeping on our BW system, cleaning up PSAs and changelogs, compressing cubes, realigning time-dep masterdata and renewing indexes.
The PSA chain runs fine and about 90% of all PSAs get deleted, but there are some datasources (all of them are of type 8* datamart datasources) that don't get their PSAs deleted. It says "The following PSAs were selected:" and then nothing happens...
I tried all tickbox combinations and checked that there are no PSA entries blocked by invalid partitions. Manual deletion (via "manage" in the datasource) works fine, but is tedious and time consuming.
Also, most of the 8* datasource PSAs do get deleted. Just a handful (+/- 25) get skipped somehow.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Eduard
PS: We're still running 3.5-style backend dataflow, but will eventually get converted to transformations and DTPs. But that's not on our agenda (yet).

Process chain - After error ABAP - trigger a metachain start does not work.

Hi,
I have a process chain, where after an ABAP runs into red (ERROR MESSAGE triggered), another process type, like start a new meta-chain, or start an infopackage starts.... But is does not work. After i go to logs, it asks me whether i want to trigger the following jobs, if i choose yes, it works. But i need to start it automatically, when the ABAP Routine has an error message (RED) in the chain.
Any idea, because I tried to solve it all the day, but i did not manage to get itwork...
Many Thanks,
L.

Hi,
the problem is not the ABAP Program.
I have the following situation:
A Metachain contains as second step a call of local chain. After the local chain, according to the status of it (green o red), we have other different steps. So we have two different link (red and green) starting from the local process chain step.
Inside the local process chain there is the ABAP program that check several parameters and if something is not as expected fails with status red. if this situation happens, the local process chain becomes red and in SM37 inside the job i see the error that i forced, but the status is not triggered to the first metachain , so the corresponding following steps are not triggered.
This issue happens only if fails the ABAP program because, for example, a Infopackages loading fails every thing works and the corresponding steps in the metachain are executed.
In the ABAP program in order to force the status red we have the following code:
MESSAGE e162(00) WITH 'Status' 'Red'.
Any idea?
Thanks,
Veronica
