Process Chain unschedules itself

Hello,
I have a problem with a daily scheduled process chain that will run for 2 or 3 days according to its daily schedule and then simply stop running with no further scheduled BI_PROCESS_TRIGGER existing for the chain.
Does anyone know how I can resolve this problem.
Thanks,
Ismail

Hai Ismail..,
Just remove th process chain from the scheduling and re schedule it. Select the Priority job A - High. Some times if you select priority job C - Low, it will only run after finishing all other job untill it will not run.., May be it will cause this type of issues..,

How can we set a process chain to trigger the nodes w/o manual intervention

SDNers,
We have a Master PC which has the loading & activation of some Hierarchies.Wats happening is some of the hier activations are failing (we got track of the root cause as well) and the nodes below are not getting triggered automatically, eventhough they have been designed to get triggered irrespective of success or failure of this hierarchy activation. The chain prompts for the u2018Status change & trigger the following eventsu2019 opo-up and only when it was said u2018yesu2019, the subsequent node gets triggered in the chain. If this manual intervention was not there, the Chain gets struck at the activation node, whic is running in yellow status for long, though a short dump - error has already been thrown.
My query is how can we set a process chain not to anticipate the manual intervention of chnaging the status & trigger events pop-up

Hi ravi,
i'm not sure abt the query but what i got thru ur qustion is u have to automtaically go to the next load/step even the proceess chain fails in the step......
for that we have the same master meta chains with link of so many local chains...for this even if there are some interventions/fails in between the process chains it never gets stopped....
it goes to the next step and we'll work, analyse and finish the failed load manually....the next day it'll be
fine...
b4 to this make sure that there is no dependency for the previous loads....
And now the solution i found for this is in the process chain design itself.......
while giving the links itself we'll be getting the options as status RED,GREEN and RED(or)GREEN.....now if u got for the third option the event goes to the next step even it is unsuceesful....

Process Chain gets unschedule after execution

I've created 1 event based process chain
i'm triggering this event from an abap program.
but after executing the process chain, the process chain gets unschedule automatically. I've used BP_RAISE_EVENT FM to trigger the event.
Thanks in advance.

Hi AG,
Can you please check the value of profile parameter:
rdisp/rfc_min_wait_dia_wp in you remote BW system. Is it 1?
If that is the case please increase the value to a more suitable value. This will determine the number of waiting dialog work processes in your system.
It is dynamically switichable. Please try this out and check the results.
Please award points if issue got solved.

Process chain that loops itself

Hi experts,
I have a process chain here that will be triggered by event, and at the end of the process chain it will trigger the same event so that the process chain will loop itself.
But I have a problem here, I need to run the process chain only on working days (Mon - Fri), and I have a factory calendar for it.
However, if the process chain is triggered by event, I cannot restrict it by factory calender.
Any ideas?
Thanks
Ivy

hi,
Create a new chain which is scheduled daily and in it add ABAP program to if the process chain (loop) is still active, if it is not then check the factory calendar and raise the event if it is a working day. In case of active run do nothing.
The process chain with loop can have the existing variant where it is triggered by event. In the loop chain add the program to check the working day from calendar and only raise event if it is.
This way the loop will also be maintained and the chain would stop on a non working day and automatically be triggered on the next working day.

Arvind.

RSPC_LOG_DELETE unscheduled Process Chain Jobs????!!!

Hi, I executed RSPC_LOG_DELETE for the 1st time in my DEV and QA Systems and it looks like it somehow unscheduled my Process Chain Jobs! Has anyone else experienced this or know why this would have happened?
It is a good thing I did not run this in my production system thinking it was an innocent program that would just clean up my logs.
We executed it manually and used a date to leave the most current 3 months of logs.
Thanks for any helps!

Hi,
When you run the program, RSPC_LOG_DELETE, it deactivates teh steps in the process chain. if it is deactivatiing the start variant of the PC, tehn it means , the PC will be descheduled.
So, whenever you run this innocent program, it will happen, and you have to actioate and schedule your process chains
Hope this helps

How can I know who Unscheduled Process Chain

Hi,
I am looking for a way to know who unscheduled process chain.
After looking in forum I got to know about Table TBTCO but there are huge no. of entries in that.
Above that I need to know about a chain that was unshceduled on 4th May can I give that selection while looking in TBTCO Or any selection related to Process chain name ? Please suggest.
Let me know if there is altogether other way to find this out.
Thanks in Advance

Hi,
It is not possible to trace who have de-scheduled the chain....we can de-schedule the chain in two ways.......
open the chain in the Design View --> In the top "Execution" tab --> Remove from schedule.......(In this case the whole chain will turn in grey)
If someone do this then there will be no log........
Secondly, right click on the "Start Process " in the Design View --> Display Scheduled Jobs --> from there delete the released job......In this case also there will be no trace...........no log.........(In this case only the start process will turn in grey, rest of the chain will be in green colour only)...
Now as I have explained the colour difference from there you can understand that how the chain was de-scheduled ....in which method...........
But you can't trace that who has done it......

Error while activating Process Chains

Hi all,
while activating the Process Chains, i am getting the following error "Job BI_PROCESS_PSAPROCESS could not be scheduled. Termination with returncode 8"
when i double click on the error msg, i got the following help msg: "
Message no. RSPC065
Diagnosis
Program RSPROCESS is to be scheduled as job BI_PROCESS_PSAPROCESS under user ALEREMOTE.
Can any one please show some way to solve this problem? please do this favor, i have been suffering with error for a long time.
Points will be given
Thanks
Ganesh

Hi,
Just analyze the error message that you get while activating the PC, don't give any server name.If you are trying to run process chain using Flat file, it won't work,
and you should have source system R/3 or you have own datasources in BW system itself at that toime you can use PC to extract data. If your source system is Flat ile, it won't work. other wise you should place your flat file in application server, using AL11 tcode.
OSS : 511475
Symptom
You cannot schedule or perform any batch jobs with the BW or source system background user.
The error RSPC 065 occurs in the process chains:"Job could not be scheduled, termination with return code 8"
Other terms
RSPC065
Reason and Prerequisites
The user type is
"CPIC" up to 4.6B
"Communication" as of 4.6C
This user type may not execute or start any batch jobs, irrespective of the user authorizations.
Solution
Set the type of background user to
"Background" up to 4.6B
"System" as of 4.6C
This user type corresponds to the "Communication" type and may also perform background functions.
Through the Customizing, the BW user is automatically created by mistake as a communication user.Depending on your BW system release, you can solve this problem as follows:
BW 2.0B
 Import Support Package 24 for 2.0B (BW2.0B patch24 or SAPKW20B24) into your BW system. The Support Package is available once note 456551 with the short text "SAPBWNews BW 2.0B Support Package 24", which describes this Support Package in more detail, has been released for customers.
BW 2.1C
 Import Support Package 16 for 2.1C (BW2.1C patch16 or SAPKW21C16) into your BW system. The Support Package is available once note 456566 with the short text "SAPBWNews BW 2.1C Support Package 16" has been released for customers.
BW 3.0A
 Import Support Package 8 for 3.0A (BW3.0A patch08 or SAPKW30A08) into your BW system. The Support Package is available once note 452632 with the short text "SAPBWNews BW 3.0A Support Package 08" has been released for customers.

BI IP Executing planning sequence via process chain not possible

Hi,
we use BI IP and have defined a process chain (RSPC) with value type process planning sequence. When we execute it, we get error message
"Inconsistent input parameter (parameter: <unknown>, value <unknown>)"
When we execute this planning sequence via the modeller or via SE38 RSPLS_PLSEQ_EXECUTE everything works fine. I thougt the cause could be the user of the job itself (job is executed with different user, and variant of planning sequence is user-dependent!), but I changed the user in the job itself as well without results.
any thoughts?
regards
D

Hi,
I executed with my user and have a SAP_ALL authorization. Perhaps it could be because we use authorisation with the old method (4.0) (-> I'm not sure on this). I also think it has to do with authorization. I'll check this out with our authorization consultant.

Error in process chain for PCA full load

Hello everyone,
I'm trying to use a process chain in order to delete a previous full load of plan data in a cube prior to the new load (to avoid double records). The successor job in the process chain is loading a delta of actual data into the same cube (same info source).
When executing the process chain (and the included info package (full load)), the setting "Automatic loading of similar/identical requests from info cube" in the info package is not working (I have ticked "full or init, data-/infosource are the same")...
I have checked that the function itself works as I have executed the info package manually with success. So the problem is the chain somehow.
In the chain I just execute the info package as usual... so to my understanding, it should work the same way as if I executed it manually. Or am I wrong? Is some additional setting required in the chain in order to make it work?
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Fredrik

Hi Fredrik,
not all settings in infopackages work in chains in the same way they do while running the package manually. Mostly you can check that with pressing F1 on the setting. In your case, you need to add a process type for deleting the data to the chain. In your chain maintenance, look at process types and then in load processes .... There you will find the type you need.
kind regards

Syntax error when executing a process chain.

Hi gurus,
This is a weird problem that we have been facing since yesterday. In the transaction RSPC, we had created a process chain in Feb 09. It ran smoothly till yesterday. However when I try to schedule the process chain now, it gives me a dump stating Syntax error in program "CL_RSDMD_IOBJ_U_TPL===========CP ".
This same dump is generated whenever I try to display variant of one of the nodes of Process Chain.
I tried checking the corresponding programs but in vain. I have no Idea why am I receiving the error.
If anyone has faced this problem please post the same.
The following is brief overview of the dump.
Information on where terminated Termination occurred in the ABAP program
"CL_RSBK_DTP_DATABASE==========CP" - in "COPY_FROM_DB". The main program was
"RSPC_MAINTAIN ".
In the source code you have the termination point in line 166
of the (Include) program "CL_RSBK_DTP_DATABASE==========CM003".
Any help would be appreciated.
Regards,
Sree.

Hi Rayapa,
There is no Long text as such, however, there is a short text which I have mentioned in my question itself.
And there is a What Happened
which is as follows

Error while running the process chain

Hi, I am getting following error while running the process chain.
"Lock NOT set for: Deleting the data completely from a data target"
Please suggest.
amit

hi,
This is due to a lock on the objects which is being used by ur load.
Even if master data used by this would be in a lock by an attribute change run. wait till that attribute change run finishes and then repeat.
If this target itself is locked by someother process like rollup , compression , this error would appear. In this case also repeat the step after those locking process finish.
some general locks during loading:
Sometimes parallel processing in DTP might lead to this, its better set the DTP and infopackage in serial processing. In this case change the settings and then repeat the process.
There is a specific case in which the Serial DTP gets locked by itself, in this case repeat it untill it succeeds.
You can identify the above scenario as below. This is applicable only if the DTPs processing mode is serial.
if u see in SM 37 this load would have three DTP processes running.
it should have only two.
In this case cancel the process and repeat it untill u get it right.
hope this helps u

Reg. Error while Full load - process chain

Hi,
I am running a process chain, which is a full load. In Manage screen it is in RED status whereas, While i chekced in Monitor screen it is showing as "Missing messages" . While I checked in the error and warning messages, I found that the data packet should be run manually. So I tried Manual update option by killing the job manually. After doing this i tried to run the same process with "Back to Technical Status" option. While performin this again i got an error saying "REQUXXXX terminated, as data packet 0000XX could not be locked"
How this error can be rectified.
Please advice.
Thanks in advance!!!
Regards,
Melissa

Hi Melissa.....
While i chekced in Monitor screen it is showing as "Missing messages"........where did u got the message.............in the data packet.......right...........?..........
I found that the data packet should be run manually. So I tried Manual update option by killing the job manually..................which job u hav killed........? Extraction Job?If u hav killed the Extraction job........then Manual update is not possible..............Manual update is only possible when the Extraction job will get completed successfully........
Due to this u r getting the Error Message error saying "REQUXXXX terminated, as data packet 0000XX could not be locked"....................When the request itself does'nt exist............how could u do Manual update for that deletedrequuest........
Then only option is..............make the QM status red.............delete the request from the target and repeat the load.........
Hope this helps.......

Issue while loading Master Data through Process Chain in Production

Hi All,
We are getting an error in Process chain while loading Master Data
Non-updated Idocs found in Source System
Diagnosis
IDocs were found in the ALE inbox for Source System that are not updated.
Processing is overdue.
Error correction:
Attempt to process the IDocs manually. You can process the IDocs manually using the Wizard or by selecting the IDocs with incorrect status and processing them manually.
I had checked the PSA also but I could not find any record and the strange thing is, Job itself is not getting scheduled. Can any one help me out in order to resolve this issue.
Regards
Bhanumathi

Hi
This problem is not related to Process chain..
u can try this..
In RSMO, select the particular load you want to monitor.
In the menu bar, Environment >>> Transact. RFC >>> Select whichever is required, BW or Source System.
In the next screen you can select the Execute button and the IDOCS will be displayed.
Check Note 561880 - Requests hang because IDocs are not processed.
OR
Transact RFC - status running Yellow for long time (Transact RFC will be enabled in Status tab in RSMO).
Step 1: Goto Details, Status get the IDoc number,and go to BD87 in R/3,place the cursor in the RED IDoc entroes in tRFC
queue thats under outbound processing and click on display the IDOC which is on the menu bar.
Step 2: In the next screen click on Display tRFC calls (will take you to SM58 particular TRFC call)
place the cursor on the particular Transaction ID and go to EDIT in the menu bar --> press 'Execute LUW'
(Display tRFC calls (will take you to SM58 particular TRFC call) ---> select the TrasnID ---> EDIT ---> Execute LUW)
Rather than going to SM58 and executing LUW directly it is safer to go through BD87 giving the IDOC name as it will take you
to the particular TRFC request for that Idoc.
OR
Go into the JOB Overview of the Load there you should be able to find the Data Package ID.
(For this in RSMO Screen> Environment> there is a option for Job overview.)
This Data Package TID is Transaction ID in SM58.
OR
SM58 > Give * / user name or background (Aleremote) user name and execute.It will show you all the pending TRFC with
Transaction ID.
In the Status Text column you can see two status
Transation Recorded and Transaction Executing
Don't disturb, if the status is second one Transaction Executing. If the status is first one (Transation Recorded) manually
execute the "Execute LUWs"
OR
Directly go to SM58 > Give * / user name or background (Aleremote) user name and execute. It will show TRFCs to be executed
for that user. Find the particular TRFC (SM37 > Req name > TID from data packet with sysfail).select the TrasnID (SM58) --->
EDIT ---> Execute LUW
(from JituK)
Hope it helps

"Save Hierarchies" step in Process chain getting failed

Hello all,
After searching thoroughly through various links / forums, i failed to get a solution. So, I am posting here.
Recently we had a system copy. After that, in Quality system - "Save all Hierarchies" step in PC is getting failed.
I ran the process chain for 3 times till now:
1) Sometimes, it fails at batch monitor itself with UNCAUGHT_EXCEPTION runtime error.
2) Sometimes, it fails saying "Error 0 when reading PSA 1" & "No hierarchy found for the selection criteria entered".
When it fails with "Error 0 when reading PSA 1", then the above Hierarchy info package which is green automatically turns RED again with Process monitor saying "No PSA tables for the selection criteria".
I also went through the below sdn links.
http://scn.sap.com/thread/278794
http://scn.sap.com/thread/1753212
Things I did:
1) Tried replicating & activating the Transfer rules and Data source.
2) Repeated the step, as suggested in one post.
3) Refreshed the OLTP hierarchies in Infopack. selections.
I have attached a screenshot of a sample Data source which says Modified, though the transfer rules are active. Also, the process chain sample.
Please let me know, if someone has faced this issue. Whatelse did I miss? Any clue.
Thanks,
Vikranth.

Hi Raman,
I couldn't retransport, but i removed it from schedule and re-activated it. But, i think the issue lies with one of the Info objects 0PROFIT_CTR.
Because, when i tried to check the hierarchy structure; there are duplicate entries for one code. Can we delete one of them? Is it preferable.
I tried using OSS and used a program RSR_REPAIR_INFOAREAHIER but this showed no errors.
Any clue?
Thanks,
VIkranth
