Process chain suggestion

Hi,
I have 1 DS which is used to load 3 cubes say A,B,C. How sholuld i desgin my process chain. I mean will i have to create 3 IP for same DS. If that is the case how will the initialization work and also wont there be duplicacy of data in cubes (at keyfigure level)
Thanks
Prashant

Suggestion on process chain

Hai all,
I have a complex issue here. I have a process chain, say PC1- which runs for every 10 days, that has to start based on the success of another process chain, say PC2- that runs daily. Also this PC1 has to start based on a calendar. So I need to have two thing in start condition, one is that it should be dependent on PC2 and PC1 has to start as per a calendar. How can i do this?
Any ideas or advise or document reference is highly appreciated.
Thank youvery much.

I'm sorry, I think I misunderstood your request. PC2 runs every day but you want it to trigger PC1 every 10th day?
If this is the case, then yes, you can put extra scheduling checks in the ABAP program to only raise the event on the 10th day. PC2 will call the ABAP program every day to trigger the event, but you will call the function module BP_EVENT_RAISE only on the 10th day. Your ABAP program will execute, so you will not get an incomplete status in the ABAP process in PC2.
Let me know if this makes sense.

Please, check if you get any short dump in ST22 related to this issue.

Changes are not getting reflected in Process Chain after changes.

Hello,
I have modified a Process Chain in Development environment. I have created one new infopackage and included it in the process chain. I have also added two new change run variants in the process chain. I have collected the process chain and infopackage in a transport request and transported it to integration environment.
Transport request has reached successfully in integration but the changes in process chain are not getting reflected. The infopackage has reached to integration after transport.
I need some suggestion on this.
Regards,
Sanjay

Hi Sanjay.......
R u in Display mode..........click on Change mode...........
If you can see the chain in Change mode............then ur process chain is imported in in-active version..........
U can try activating it manually or re-transport the active version..........

Urgent : Download file from Application Server via Process Chain.

Hi Experts,
My requirement is to download the file from Application Server to local work station using an ABAP Program .
I want including the above ABAP program in a process chain to execute the program daily,
I tried to use ARCHIVFILE_SERVER_TO_CLIENT and GUI_DOWNLOAD but unfortunately both the above FM doesn't support to run through Process chain.
Can any one of you help me to send the code which selects a file from application server, downloads to local system and deletes it.
Thank you very much for spending your precious time in this regard.

Hi Sailekha,
Regarding your case ..
I suggest you to create the program where it run this function: WS_DOWNLOAD.
After it, the program is run by your process chain.
Hopefully it can help you a lot.

Niel.
thanks for the points you choose to assign.

Long running process chains - No Dump / error message.

Hello,
We have defined some steps in process chain that contains default macros. We mainly included that to ensure calculations happens even when users dont open or access the DP Planning book.
Issue is, these steps are running endless. normally it takes some 400 n odd seconds. But its running for the last 60000 secs.
No. of Planning objects or CVC is 2027 only. I had to cancel them and tried to re run this step or the whole chain no luck....
I have checked active jobs in SM37, there is none. So ideally there is no load on the system. Also no change to Macro or CVC's has been done. there was only one Transport that was moved and it was on the product master.
Also I have done the time series, Live cache, PA Consistency checks. only in Live Cache there was some Superflous time series and it was corrected.
I am not getting a clue of why its happening nor where to start the analsysis.
Any help or suggestion is greatly appreciated.
Currently I have made the subsequent events as independent,& the chain is running execpting this step.
Many Thanks
Aswath Ram.

Thanks for the reply,
These are custom macros. It adds two KF and copies to another.
The no. of periods is 24 time periods and roughly no. of CVC is 2100.
Another thing, this process chain has been running for last 5 to 6 months with no issues. Since sunday, its messing up....
I am doubting if its taking time read data from table or live cache. or is it because of some indexing. Not sure how to check that.
have asked Basis to check the system performance, if it might cause this issue.
Many Thanks
Aswath

How to find from Data target filled by which process chain.

hi all.
i have list of cubes i want to know that which cube is filled by which prcess chain ...
can anyone suggest me appropriate solution.
simply i want to know that when reconcilation which process chain affect on which bex report so that if one process chain got failed then i will not generate that specific report for that day..
i have list of multiprovider on which we are generating rports and tech. name of report also i have.

Ganesh ji,
Choose your infopackage which holds the data targets, in the Infopackage screen reach the Scheduler tab and you will find the where-Used list. This will let you know the particular process chain responsible.
thanks

Process Chain and e-mail configuration

We have configured a process chain e-mail message recipient by keying in the full recipient e-mail address in the message screen. This works successfully.
However, we would prefer to use the SAP User ID in the process chain message configuration. (The sap User Id would contain the external e-mail id)
Why: Because we do not want to have to reconfigure the process chain every time a user or an e-mail changes. We would like to use a generic user in the process chain configuration, and then only change the generic user e-mail when changes occur.
When trying to use the sap user id in the process chain no mail message is received.
We would like to seek input from folks in this forum who may have worked with a similar scenario and have developed a solution, or could provide suggestions on how to make this work.
Thanks in Advance

Barbara,

Process Chain - How to make decision based on data in PSA and execute DTP

Need to create process in Process Chain, which will execute the DTP based on data in PSA.
Say we have two DSO A & B, both getting data from same datasource.
In process chain, we need to read data in one of the date field in PSA and make a decision, which DTP to get execute in process chain.
Say if date field contains year = 2000, than load to DSO A, if year is 2001, load data to DSO B.
Suggest the solution. ...

Hi,
Tyr this steps.
1) Develop ABAP process types
ABAP report to read PSA data using function module
Trigger events based on year
event1 -> for even year data
event2 -> for add year data
2) Develop local process chains for each DTPs and schdule it with events mentioned above.
Do reply with comments.

Delta loading and Process chain BI

Hi experts,
Two Issues.
1)As i am loading FI data into dso through a process chain which includes Start process>Delta infopackage(which gets data upto psa)>Delta dtp-->Datastore activation.
But infopackage is picking up deltas but DTP is picking up all the previous records plus deltas.
100 records -- 1st day throught Intialization of Delta with Data Transfer
2 delta records -- 2nd day
But DTP is picking up 102 Records on the 2nd Day, which means it is also picking the old records as well.
The DSO must have just 102 records but it is having 202 records.
2) A process chain in running daily as scheduled , but I rescheduled with new scheduling options without deactivating the Process chain.
My Question is
Will the Process chain run for the OLD and the New Schedule or
Is it going to run for new schedule or old one?
or
will I face any Problem because I did not deactivate and made changes to the Change.
Please help me in this matter.
Thanks in advance.
Bhadri.

First query:
I believe that u have used FUll update type DTP is instead of the Delta DTP.. Please cross check the Update mode of the DTP once.
To resolve this issue, delete the total content of the DSO as u have Init and delta loads in PSA. And then using the Delta DTP of the Process chain, load the data. It will extract the total cotent what ever is there in PSA, and later the same DTP will act as the Delta type and will pick the data from the New request of the PSA.
Second Query:
Its always suggested to deschedule the process chain before changing the schedule timings. When ever u do this type of scheduling, just check how many number of JObs available in Schedule mode, if u can see more than one, then delete the older one and keep the new one as it is.
But I always suggest you to deschedule the process chain and reschedule PC with the new timings and then activate the same.
Thanks

Process Chain excessive run time

Hi all
Would like to know if any of you have experienced what we are experiencing.
We have a process chain that runs every night. It is running the same master data which usually only takes seconds.
However, on occassions, the same amount of data is taking over 18 hours to load.
When we look on monitor in the detail tab, it shows that it has only taken seconds but the header tab is showing 18 hours. This then delays any other subsequent process chains from being kicked off.
We are investigating as to why this is happening but any comments would be appreciated.
thanks in advance
Sandra

Hi Sandra,
I can suggest you few things which may help u...
1) Increase the parallel processing during extraction
2) Selective loading.
3) Every job will be having a priority (A, B, C A being the highest and C being the lowest), choose this based on your scenario.
4) Check with basis for the sizing of your server.
5) You can increase the number of background processes during data loads. This can be done by making dialog processes as Background processes.
For this you need basis inputs. (This is done in some profile settings by making the system behave differently during loads. (something like day mode/night mode))
6) There are some maintenance jobs that should run regularly in any SAP box to ensure proper functioning.
7) Use of start routines is preferred instead of update routines.
Assign points if these help u...

KK.

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?

The 0co_om_opa_6 ip in the process chains takes long time to run

Hi experts,
The 0co_om_opa_6 ip in the process chains takes long time to run around 5 hours in production
I have checked the note 382329,
-> where the indexes 1 and 4 are active
-> index 4 was not "Index does not exist in database system ORACLE"- i have assgined to " Indexes on all database systems and ran the delta load in development system, but guess there are not much data in dev it took 2-1/2 hrs to run as it was taking earlier. so didnt find much differnce in performance.
As per the note Note 549552 - CO line item extractors: performance, i have checked in the table BWOM_SETTINGS these are the settings that are there in the ECC system.
-> OLTPSOURCE - is blank
   PARAM_NAME - OBJSELSIZE
   PARAM_VALUE- is blank
-> OLTPSOURCE - is blank
   PARAM_NAME - NOTSSELECT
   PARAM_VALUE- is blank
-> OLTPSOURCE- 0CO_OM_OPA_6
   PARAM_NAME - NOBLOCKING
   PARAM_VALUE- is blank.
Could you please check if any other settings needs to be done .
Also for the IP there is selction criteris for FISCALYEAR/PERIOD from 2004-2099, also an inti is done for the same period as a result it becoming difficult for me to load for a single year.
Please suggest.

The problem was the index 4 was not active in the database level..it was recommended by the SAP team to activate it in se14..however while doing so we face few issues se14 is a very sensitive transaction should be handled carefully ... it should be activate not created.
The OBJSELSIZE in the table BWOM_SETTINGS has to be Marked 'X' to improve the quality as well as the indexe 4 should be activate at the abap level i.e in the table COEP -> INDEXES-> INDEX 4 -> Select the u201Cindex on all database systemu201D in place of u201CNo database indexu201D, once it is activated in the table abap level you can activate the same indexes in the database level.
Be very carefull while you execute it in se14 best is to use db02 to do the same , basis tend to make less mistake there.
Thanks Hope this helps ..

How to delete Init flag in a process chain, before processing the init

Hi,
At the end of the week i need to re-execute the init request from ODS1 to ODS2.
Therefore, i have to delete the init flag first and the requests in the CUBE1, everything automatically in the process chain.
The schedule must be as follow :
1. Delete init flag on ODS1
2. Delete all request from ODS1 in the CUBE1
3. Load an regular INIT request from ODS1 to CUBE1.
Notes :
I cannont clear all the CUBE1 content, as i have other datasource than ODS1.
CUBE1 is the only one data-target of ODS1.
Any suggestion, as there is no process in the process chain to "Delete Init Flag".
Best regards,
Ludovic
