Process chains always cancelled directly

Holá Gurus,
while executing a process chains, it is always cancelled directly. The log shows the following message:
Process ABAP, variant /SIE/RT_PV_CLOSE_REQUEST_EFC is not scheduled waiting for event RSPROCESS 44IM3WWNHW3Q6IAMA88TS086H
Message no. RSPC006
Diagnosis
Process ABAP (variant /SIE/RT_PV_CLOSE_REQUEST_EFC) needs to be started. According to the process chain maintenance, it needs to be scheduled while waiting for event /SIE/RT_PV_CLOSE_REQUEST_EFC 44IM3WWNHW3Q6IAMA88TS086H. However, this is not the case.
System response
The chain is terminated.
Procedure
In order to complete the chain run, follow these steps:
1. Ensure that Start Using Metachain or API is selected in the variant maintenance for the start process. By doing so, you ensure that the chain is not restarted.
2. Schedule the process chain.
3. In the log view for the process chain maintenance, choose View -> Merge Active Version, and end the incorrect process or using the respective context menu entry.
Does anyone have an idea, how to solve this issue?
Thx in advance!

Hi,

Why the process chain always run twice when triggered from R3?

I run a program from R3 by calling the remote function 'RSSM_EVENT_RAISE' on BW to trigger an event and in turn the event on BW bring up the running of a process chain. But whenever I run the program on R3 to bring up the running of the process chain, I find the process chain always run twice at the same time. Does anybody knows the answer?
And also I would like to know the functionalities of the two picture buttons "Activate" and "Activate and Schedule" in process chain. In which case the "Activate" button should be used and in which case, the "Activate and Schedule" button should be used? If we click the Start variant of a process chain, then click "Change Selections" button which bring up the window "Start Time" where the buttons "Immediate", "Date/Time", "After job", and "After event" are listed at the top. If we modify at any of the above buttons, then after save this modification, we will have to click "Activate and Schedule" button to make it work, right?
Thanks a lot and everyone's idea is greatly appreciated!

Kevin, make sure there is only one job scehduled for the Start Process of your Process Chain. If you bring up the Process Chain (not the log view), right click on the Start Process and select "Displaying Scheduled Job(s)...". There should only be one scheduled job with name BI_PROCESS_TRIGGER. If there is more than one, then when triggered, it would execute more than once at the same time. If there is only one job, then maybe your R/3 program is triggering the event more than once?
As far as the Start conditions for the Start Process, it works off the same principals as a scheduled job. These start conditions determine when or how the Process Chain is to be executed. You also have control over frequency. These start conditions determine the scheduling of the Start Process of your Process Chain.
When you schedule a Process Chain, a separate scheduled job is created for "each" process in the Chain. BW controls the triggering of these jobs based upon how the processes in the Chain are linked. All the jobs associated with Process Chains have strict naming conventions and all begin with BI_PROCESS_... If you use SM37 to view all jobs that begin with BI_PROCESS_ you will find alot of scheduled jobs associated with your process chains. Each job represents one of the processes within your process chains.
Does this help?
Another tip might be to trigger the event manually in BW (use tx SM64). If the process chain executes twice again, then maybe there is a separate scheduled job in BW that triggers the process chain that is triggered by the same event as the start process of the process chain.

Process Chains Always Hangs at the second step waiting for an event

Gents;
all BI process chains created in Production system are always hanging in the second step waiting for an event RSPROCESS with a certain parameter. This issue is happening for all process chains in Production system and it is not happening for the same in other systems in the landscape (development, Copy of porudction, quality and so on). I tried to trigger the event manually using SM62 but the job is always stick to status " released". the same thing was replicated in other systems and the job status has changed and the process was completed.
Any idea what might cause this issue??
Thanks.

Hi,
You said that this thing is happening only in production system.Try doing the following checks :
1.Check SM21to see if there are any red entries.It can be possible that there is some data base RFC connection failure.While checking SM21, make sure you give proper selection condition.If there are any red entries, you may take the help of basis guys to understand the type of failure.May be file system has got some problems.
2.Check St22 and try to analyse if any short dumps.
3.Try to check Connection with the source system ( Goto RSA1->source system tab->right click on the source system and select check option to find if any errors in the connection.
4.If possible, try to load manually in some other info provider.
Thanks,

Local Process Chains are cancelled

In our system there is one metachain that triggers 3 subchains in parallel. Sometimes these process chains are executed and sometimes they are simply cancelled. This seems to happen randomly.
When a subchain is cancelled, the log shows:

=> it just ends before all jobs are scheduled, and the subchain is not activated and scheduled anymore like it normally should be.
Thank you for your help!

Hi,
I have seen this happening quite a few times. You can have a wait time for 2 of the local chains say 120 secs and then see how it performs.
Also check if all your local chains are active.

Process Chain's Mystery

Hello Gurus,
I am having a strange issue about process chains:
I have two PCs, process chain-A for master data and process chain-B for hierarchy, which is scheduled to run after PC-A. No issues for MD PC.
The hierarchy process chain-B works fine for new days and suddenly gets "cancelled". After that next all the runs this process chain gets "cancelled",
until it is run manually and rescheduled / resubmitted.
After doing "RSPC" -PC-B -- start --> display-all-jobs --> "cancelled job" - Job log, I get following message:
Message text
Job started
Step 001 started (program RSPROCESS, variant &0000000020160, user ID BWREMOTE)
Process LOADING, variant ZPAK_E54MMCSD6M18NU2WQZZMELKW2 is not scheduled waiting for event RSPROCESS 15LLVMYVTTGHZ9SQN12Y535SC
Job cancelled
After looking at the "Diagnosis" / "System Response" / "Procedure" - the procedure looks like:
======================================
Procedure
In order to complete the chain run, follow these steps:
1. Ensure that Start Using Metachain or API is selected in the variant maintenance for the start process. By doing so, you ensure that the chain is not restarted.
2. Schedule the process chain.
3. In the log view for the process chain maintenance, choose View -> Merge Active Version, and end the incorrect process or using the respective context menu entry.
===============================================
If I follow this procedure, I cannot schedule the process chain.
Any help to resolve this issue is appreciated. ( Why this happens...what is the solution..?)
I promise to award points.
Thank you for your time.
Pramod.

Hi Promod,
As you mentioned PC-B is scheduled after PC-A, first ensure whether PC-B starts from PC-A as an meta-chain or a seperate chain (direct).
Check for Job Logs for that particular trigerrinng process which got cancelled in SM37 (there might be some information given why job has been cancelled).
Re-run the chain by scheduling it as immediate and check the processing of triggering process in Applicaiotn server (sm51), that what exactly it is doing (whether running, hold or waiting?)
Probably, trigerring process of PC-B is waiting for an event (might be failing) to occur, check in the maintain variant how the chain is been triggered?
If it is a direct chain and if you schedule it as immediate and is running fine then change the timings of PC-B, probably trigerring process has not got the required locks at that time.
Check for these measures and let me know the status.

Vij

Event is not getting triggered in the process chain

Hi,
We had a process chain which was triggered by an Event, and it was running fine until few days ago. So I removed the chain from schedule and re-scheduled it again with these details:
File load: every 2 hrs
Process chain setting
Immediate tab: start immediately
After event: "event name" and "parameter name" and periodic job: ticked
I activated the chain and scheduled it. But the event is not triggered and the chain does not start. I even tried to trigger the process chain manually in sm64 but the process chain did not start.
Can someone please tell me steps to automate the event triggering and also any setting that should be taken care off in the info package and the process chain.
Thanks In advance.
Ram

Hello Ram, to start your Process Chain by an event, then you need to maintain the Start process of the process chain.
Select "Direct Scheduling".
In the Change Selections, press After Event. Put your event name and parameter (if any). Also click on Periodic job.
Press Save. Then Activate and Schedule your process chain. All your processes should turn green.
To verify, right-click on the Start process and select Displaying Scheduled Job(s).... You should see a job called BI_PROCESS_TRIGGER in a Released status. You can click on the job and look at the start conditions.
When you go to trigger the event, use the same event name and parameter (if any) as in the start condition. Your process chain will then execute. To insure, use RSPC to view your process chain and press the Logs icon (last one at the top).
Does this help?

Process chain program variant will not change from yellow...

Hello,
Problem:
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.
What I have observed and tried:
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

Process Chain Status is Red even though all processes are successful.

I implement ABAP Code by using standard function module "RSPC_CHAIN_START" for execute process chain and return status of process chain after execute completely as following code:
Execute Process Chain
CALL FUNCTION 'RSPC_CHAIN_START'
EXPORTING
    I_CHAIN             = I_CHAIN
    I_SYNCHRONOUS       = I_SYNCHRONOUS
IMPORTING
   E_LOGID             = P_LOGID.
If sy-subrc = 0.
    gt_status = 's'.
    WHILE gt_status = 's'.
Get Status of Process Chain
      CALL FUNCTION 'RSPC_API_CHAIN_GET_STATUS'
      EXPORTING
      i_chain              = I_CHAIN
      i_logid              = P_LOGID
     IMPORTING
      E_STATUS             = gt_status
      E_MESSAGE            = P_MESSAGE.
Status G or F - Report that the Chain is Successfully Completed.
Status A - The chain is Currently running
Status R or X - Report that the chain has ended with Errors.
    CASE gt_status.
    WHEN 'A'.
Process chain is running
      gt_status = 's'.
      P_MESSAGE = ''.
    WHEN OTHERS.
Process chain is completed
      exit.
    ENDCASE.
    IF gt_status = 's'.
       WAIT UP TO 2 SECONDS.
    ENDIF.
ENDWHILE.
Display Message
IF gt_status = 'G' or gt_status = 'F'.
    MESSAGE i162(00) WITH P_MESSAGE.
Else.
    MESSAGE e162(00) WITH P_MESSAGE.
ENDIF.
ENDIF.
From above code, when execute this function module, sometimes status of process chain is shown as canceled 'X', therefore, output of this function module is shown as "The process chain is canceled". When monitor process chain in RSPC log view, the process chain status is also shown as canceled 'X' and status of all process in process is green, however, after wait for a while, the status changed from canceled 'X' to successful 'G'.
Why did the status of process chain show as canceled 'X' even though finally process chain status is successful ? If I want to check status of process chain after execute completely, which status should to check in ABAP code?
Regards,
Pui

Using that FM.. u will be providing the Instance and Variant of the failed process.. and hence the reload will start from the failed process but not the entire chain...
In general the process status shud finish then or based on the link combination the change from one process to other will happen...
try to maintain a wait time between the process atleast 2 to 4 secs..
thanks
hope this helps..

How to create process chains,and how to use process like and or xor

Hi,
How to create process chains,and how to use process like and or xor.
can any one please give me a example in each.
Thanks,
cheta.

Hi Cheta,
Here is step by step procedure to create process chains
Process chain is nothing but executing a process ..(or) loading the data any process we can do in background.. that means.. automatically we can execute our process based on Time or any event..
Creating Process Chains
Prerequisites
If you want to include a load process in the process chain, you need to have already created an InfoPackage.
You cannot load flat file data from a client workstation in the background. For this reason, you have stored your data on an application server.
Creating Process Chains
You have the option of creating a process chain in the process chain maintenance screen directly or by using a maintenance dialog for a process:
Creating a Process Chain Directly in the Process Chain Maintenance Screen
You are in the BW Administrator Workbench.
1. Click on the Process Chain Maintenance icon in the AWB toolbar.
The Process Chain Selection dialog window appears.
2. Choose Create.
3. Enter the technical name and a description of the chain, and confirm your entry.
The Add Start Process dialog window appears.
4. Create a variant for a start process.
1. a. On the Maintain Start Process screen, choose whether you want to schedule the chain directly or whether you want to start it using a metachain.
2. b. If you choose to schedule the chain directly, enter the start date value for the chain under Change Selections and save your entries.
The Maintain Start Process screen appears again.
3. c. Save your entries, return to the previous screen and confirm your entries in the Add Start Process dialog window.
You are taken to the Plan View of the process chain maintenance screen.
In the left-hand area of the screen, a navigation area is displayed. In the right-hand area of the screen, the process chain is displayed.
5. Use the drag-and-drop function to add the relevant processes into your process chain.
You use the Process Types function to select the processes. This sorts the process types according to different categories. You can also call up InfoPackages and processes for the data target from the separate InfoSources and Data Targets navigation trees.
Hope this helps
Regards

How do we raise an event to trigger process chain in BI

Hi Guru's,
I am having Oracle tables as one of my source systems, I developed the code using DBConnect.
Now i need to run my Process chain when ever table get data from downstream systems.
how do we raise an event to trigger the process chain in BI WHEN EVER ORACLE TABLE GET DATA?

Hi Naveen,
i think we use ABAP program under general services to generate an event.
searching form gave me following threads which might be helpfull
1) explains Evenet generation [Event raising procedure]
other helpfull threads
[Standard tools for Event raising]
[Event in Process Chain]
i could get the process for triggering it weekly,,,it may giv u some help in resolving
change the Start Process (1st process) in your Process Chain to trigger it to start after the event. To do this, maintain the Start Process of your Process Chain. Select "Direct Scheduling" and click the "Change Selections" icon. This will bring up a Start Time window. Click the "After Event" icon and enter your event name. Also, click the "Periodic Job" (this will insure that all the jobs created for each process in the Process Chain will reschedule themselves after executing the first time). Now save the Start Process, and reactivate and schedule the Process Chain.
To execute the Process Chain, use transaction SM64 to trigger the event.
If you want to trigger the event in batch, you will need to create an ABAP program that calls function module BP_EVENT_RAISE (sample ABAP code is available in this forum if you search for "BP_EVENT_RAISE").
We create batch jobs where we call an external program called SAPEVT, located on the server, and I believe is available on all SAP clients, with the following parameter:
EVTID('WEEKLY_PROCESS') SID(PU3) NUMBER(00) EVTPARM()
This will trigger the event WEEKLY_PROCESS.
See if this helps.

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.

How to Trigger process chains??

hi all
How to Trigger process chains??
Can anybody step by steps??
thanks

The background control options are available to directly schedule the start process. You can start the start process immediately , that is when activating the process chain, for a specified time, or after a particular event. When you activate the process chain, the start process is scheduled in the background as defined in your selections.
You can also trigger the start of a process chain via a meta chain. A meta chain is when a process chain, to which you set this start condition, is fixed to another process chain. The process chain is started directly by this meta chain.
When you start the start process via a meta chain, it is not scheduled after you activated the related process chain. The process is only started when the meta chain, to which it is linked, is running.
The remaining chain processes, that is the application processes and the collection processes, are scheduled to wait for an event.
The start process has the following special features:
Only the start process can be scheduled without a predecessor process.
The start process can not be a successor to another process.
Only one start process is allowed for each process chain.
One start process can only be used in an individual process chain

Background Jobs - Process Chains

Hello,
I want to schedule a background job for a process chain so that it triggers the process type and start executing...
Can anyone please let me know how i can do it?

HI,
The background control options are available to directly schedule the start process. You can start the process chain immediately (when activating the process chain), at a specified time, or after a particular event. When you activate the process chain the start process is scheduled in the background, as defined in your selections.
If there are not sufficient options available, you can trigger the start of the process chain using API. You can use the SAP NetWeaver Scheduling Framework to start the chain and to have more extensive scheduling options.
You can also trigger the start of a process chain using a metachain. 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.

Process chains always cancelled directly
