Process Chains and 3rd party scheduling tools in 04s

All,
What, if any, 3rd party scheduling tools (Autosys, CTL-M, etc...) deliver certified connectivity with 04s BW? I've had some experience with 3.x in prior lives in having to support a custom abap pgm to submit and monitor process chains via SM37. Has the integration with 3rd party tools changed? If we need to connect with a 3rd party tool, is a custom 'wrapper pgm' still required?
Thanks,

Hi Lonnie,
SAP NetWeaver 2004s comes with the external scheduling tool Redwood Cronacle included. In the next release it will be integral part of the NetWeaver system.
Please check the SAP Service Marketplace for further information

Which process chain type used when scheduling from 3rd party

Do we use Local Process Chain or Meta Chain type used when triggering PC from 3rd Party scheduling tools like Redwood..
Any inputs...
Venkat.

Hi Venkat,
Select "Start Using Meta Chain or API" for the start process when running a process chain from a third party scheduling software or when calling a process chain from within another process chain.
I also believe some third party scheduling software will also work if you set the start process to "Direct Scheduling" and set the start time to immediate but I would recommend just making it a Meta Chain for tracking purposes.
Thanks,

3rd party software tools to automate Weblogic deployments/release process

Folks,
I'm currently evaluating few 3rd party software tools to automate Weblogic deployments/release process - software release automation.
if someone has used products from Xepialabs , UC4 or Urbandeploy etc - can you advise how effective these are please?..
We have around 25+ enterprise level release environments based on Oracle weblogic on solaris and it is manual deployments via wlst scripts etc.
Also any ideas/suggestion on opensource projects would be great as well.
I will be really grateful if you can respond.

Why not use the CLI and do it that way? i don't know it AppleScript hooks into the terminal and/or can run terminal commands but that may be worth looking into as well.
I would think that it would be a good idea to erase all your drives in the RAID at once and start fresh. Why not back up the internal to a pair of RAIDED external FW800 drives, add the second drive in the Mac, make the internal RAID by formatting both drives and then copy the external RAID back to the internal RAID? Oops, I know, now we have a step 4.
Nobody from Apple ever comments here. We are all users, just like yourself, that just want to help.

DB13 and 3rd party tool support?

Hi Experts,
I came across SAP note 1048382 which says that 3rd party backup tools can be called from DB13. Does anybody have experience with that? What tools provide support for this integration?
Is there a way for reporting backup status info into CCMS/db13 if a tool doesn't support that?
Thanks in advance.
Best Regards,
Tristan

Hi,
Any 3rd party tool which uses backint utility to trigger backups, logs will be available in db14. You can also schedule backup jobs with such tools using db13 transaction code.
Hope this is useful.

How to get performance data out of SCOM and into a 3rd party management tool

Hi
I am creating an integration between a 3rd party management tool and System Center Operations Manager 2012 R2. I need to export performance data from SCOM into our application for both HyperV servers and virtual machines. Our application runs on
linux so I cannot do any .NET programming.
What is the best way to do this? I am aware of using the Usage SPF web service but this will not share performance data for the hyperv servers, just the virtual machines .
thanks in advance

Hi,
We can use SQL query to get SCOM data out, but about how to send those data into your application, this should be related with how you develop your application.
Here is an article about Operations Manager integation, hope it helps:

How to get alerts out of SCOM and into a 3rd party management tool

Hi
I am creating an integration between a 3rd party management tool and System Center Operations Manager 2012 R2. I need to export alerts such as Power Off / Power On / Configuration change for both virtual machines and hyperv servers from SCOM
into our application. Our application runs on linux so I cannot do any .NET programming, however I can run Powershell scripts remotely using WinRM.
What is the best way to do this? I am aware of using the powershell cmdlet Get-SCOMAlert but is there any other way that does not involve polling?
thanks in advance

Think of Orchestrator as a "router", that will route information and workflows between SCOM, and [insert 3rd party product here]. Depending on your 3rd party product, there may be an "integration pack" for it that Orchestrator can use for out of the
box tasks.
So what's an integration pack? Well - think of it like a management pack, but for Orchestrator. SCOM does monitoring, but it doesn't know how to monitor something unless you install the relevant management pack. The management pack contains
all the rules/monitors for monitoring whatever it is you wish to monitor.
Well, an integration pack is similar in concept, except it tells Orchestrator how to interface and integrate with whatever it is you're trying to perform tasks with.
For what you want to do, there is a SCOM integration pack. This is a set of tasks that can get alerts and events out of Operations Manager (there are also tasks that can create and close alerts in Operations Manager).
From what I can imagine - you would want to get alerts out of SCOM when they happen (so you would use one of the SCOM orchestrator tasks to "get alert if status = new, and source = myapplication"), and then you can pass that alert to another task - such
as write it to a CSV file or something. You could then have another task that picks up that CSV file, and passes it to your application where it can be captured. Or you could use the CSV to populate variables in a powershell script, and then powershell
that information into your app.
There are many ways you could do this, but I do believe that Orchestrator would be the better option.

Process chain and Control M

Hi Gurus
We are designing process chain for our BW solution.
We have identified the dependancies of various loads which includes flat file loads and loads from R/3.
Now we would like to control ERP and BW jobs by Control M .
I have the following questions:
1. Which portion of BW process chain do we need to plug in to Control M. ? Do we need to connect the Meta chain to control M or different process chains to Control M?
2.When we create Process chain for BW, what is the best practice? Is it good to create small chains and connect them via Meta chain? or we have to create small chains only?
3. Can we include R/3 extraction Jobs and V3 Jobs in our BW process chain? so that they will trigger when we run the process chain?
4. If we decide to run V 3 jobs after every half an hour on R3 side then how often we have to extract data to BW? and how to catch correct delta without missing single record?
I would appreciate if you can help me with your knowledge.
Thanks
Kris

Hi Kris,
Control M is a third party scheduling tool provided by BMC software.
1) You have option to either include a meta chain or individual chains in Control M .
2) It depends on how your data is extracted. If you have any dependecy jobs on sourcre system, then it is better to create small process chians and include them along with your dependecy jobs in Control M
3)you can include R/3 dependency jobs and V3 jobs in Control M. Once those jobs are finished you can run BW process chains via Control M.
4)You have several scheduling options availalbe in control M to take care of your BW and R/3 jobs.
V3 jobs collect data from R/3 application tables and fill R/3 delta queue(RSA7). when you run BW process chain it will collect all the data available from R/3 delta queue.
If both jobs are running at same time, then it is better to apply some wait time on BW jobs(in process chians).
hope this helps

Wht is Process Flow for 3rd Party Sales

wht is Process Flow for 3rd Party Sales

Customize the third party sales in summary:
1. Create Vendor XK01
2. Create Material u2013 Material Type as "Trading Goods". Item category group as "BANS".
3. Assign Item Category TAS to Order type that you are going to use.
4. A sale order is created and when saved a PR is generated at the background
5. With reference to SO a PO is created (ME21N). The company raises PO to the vendor.
6. Vendor delivers the goods and raises bill to company. MM receives the invoice MIRO
7. Goods receipt MIGO
8. Goods issue
9. The item cat TAS or Schedule line cat CS is not relevant for delivery which is evident from the config and,   therefore, there is no delivery process attached in the whole process of Third party sales.

Error in process chain - AND

Hi Experts,
I am facing problem in process chain execution in the AND node. The error is
This AND process is not waiting for event RSPROCESS, parameter 4941U4Q6QKIR8RFKMAZWYP5JB
I checked the log in ST22 but there is nothing , also no error msg in display msg or maintain variant.
is there any solution?

Hi Soniya.....
The problem is due to the successor process is not activated, again try to
activate the process chain and schedule it.........
As a work around.........if instance and variant is already generated........then continue the process chain using the program : RSPC_PROCESS_FINISH.......
otherwise copy the rest of the chain and execute............To do this open the chain using RSPC1>> in the top where we write tcode.........there write COPY.........Give a name to the new chain.....remove all the processes till AND process...........then create a new Start process..........make the start condition as immediate..........and schedule the chain...
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

Karthik

URGENT:Process Chains And events Related

Hi All,
I have created a new process chain which is a normal ODS Process Chain.For that I started with the start Process and then created event in sm62 to trigger the start of process chain.Similarly,I have at the end of the process chain ,I have added 2 ABAP Programs ,one to mark the successful completion of process chain and another to mark the Error or Unsuccessful completion.For these programs,I maintaines Processvariants and here, we have utility Programs.So used the relevant utility program and created a program variant and Events ,One for successful completion of process chain and another to mark the Error or Unsuccessful completion.
But ,Now ,I find that when I trigger the eventin sm64,I find that the process chain is not being run.Is that any problem with the events I created.This is the first i am involved with creation of events in SM62.Can anyone help me in this regard.
Can anyone,tell me thatdo we need to do anything else apart from Creating events .Imean like assigning jobs and then Programs in the Step of that Job.
Please Kindly help me in this regard.It is very very urgent for me.Thank you.Points will be assigned.
Regards,
Samir

Hi,
I have tried in the same way you have said .I have maintained as after event and activated and scheduled.after that i triggered the event insm64.But still,I am not able to see the Load in RSMO.
I have just checked out in sm37.And found that some jobs have failed.I think this might be the reason for the Process chain to not run.
I am just pasting the error msg and solution.
Job BI_PROCESS_ABAP, waiting for event RSPROCESS 489W6WH6I7OHV7BL3N9909F7F, has no predecessor
Message no. RSPC003
Diagnosis
Although job BI_PROCESS_ABAP has been started by event RSPROCESS 489W6WH6I7OHV7BL3N9909F7F and is recognized in the process chain, the current run for this process has no job preceding it.
This is why the system was unable to determine a log ID, and the chain is broken.
System response
The job has been terminated.
Procedure
With the exception of the start process, each process must have a process that precedes it.
Then Another error for the another cancelled job is
Job BI_PROCESS_OR, waiting for event RSPROCESS 489WC2QYBC4AJSYILQ10TWABF, has no predecessor
Message no. RSPC003
Diagnosis
Although job BI_PROCESS_OR has been started by event RSPROCESS 489WC2QYBC4AJSYILQ10TWABF and is recognized in the process chain, the current run for this process has no job preceding it.
This is why the system was unable to determine a log ID, and the chain is broken.
System response
The job has been terminated.
Procedure
With the exception of the start process, each process must have a process that precedes it.
Please kindly help me if you understand the problem.

Are there any 3rd Party metric tools that does metrics on who access pages?

Hello Gurus,
Are there any 3rd Party metric tools that does metrics on who access iviews?
I am inquiring on a tool that we can determine how useful the iview(s) to
the users community.
I understand that SAP has an ADC project. But we are also interested if there
are ant 3rd Party tool that can aggregate the ADC flat file contents and summarize
the data. Additionally, if the 3rd Party has out-of-the box reportable iviews.
We are also open to suggestions of 3rd Party tools that can capture user's iview
metrics without using ADC flat files.
And finally, my wish list: is there is a 3rd party tool that can capture when users'
clicks in the iview. That is the ultimate metric to absolutely know if the iview is
useful to the user community.
Thanks,
Steve

Forwarding alerts to a 3rd party monitoring tool

I'd like to be able to forward alerts recieved by the Enterprise Controller to our Unicenter NSM server. I have no desire to use Ops Center's incident assignment capabilities.
Has anyone managed to forward alerts from Ops Center to a 3rd party monitoring tool ?

Since posting my question, I have found this possible solution...
http://www.halcyoninc.com/products/NeuronIntegration/index.php
Halcyon appear to be an Oracle partner who have developed a product which integrates OC with popular 3rd party tools.
I see also that a user by the name of 'halcyon' sometimes posts in this forum, so I'm guessing that's them also.
Obviously this is a commercial solution and won't come for free, but I have struggled to figure out how this can be achieved independently. As you say, there are lots of questions and documentation is sparse. I'd prefer not to make a career out of it. ;)
The integration of OC with our Unicenter NSM tool with be my highest priority for when I get back from Xmas vacation in mid January. I will post up any useful information I discover.

Thanks
Bharat

Hi bharat
I dont thin these objects are part of 3.0
check from SU03 weather these objects are present in 3.o box
In 7.0 they exist:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_bw33/helpdata/en/8b/134c3b5710486be10000000a11402f/frameset.htm
TO see weather these objects exist:
Go to Tools -> Administration ->User maintenance ->Information System -> Authorization objects -> Authorization objects by Complex Selection Criteria -> By Object Class. For the object class, enter either RS (for Business Information Warehouse objects)
OR
