Process Chains Excution

Is it mandatory to acativate & replicate the data sources in BW system before running process chains.
Suppose i am creation nay customer no or any relevant data in ECC & wants it to be in BW system.so is this required??

HI,
If the datasource is already in active form its not needed to activate the datasources. But when ever yu add or modify any object or field in the datasource , then u have to activate the datasource once again coz when u are modifying it will turned to modify version.
with respect to process chains, when ever yu load the data or push some data to BI, if the datasource or any objects related to the dataflow were inactive, then the data load will not happen and u will get so respected error.
Regarding yur doubt on replication of datasources, this replication must be done before that dataloading process. so it is must to replicate and activate the datasource before initializing the dataload.At the same time process chains which are associated with this dataflow will be scheduled at the mention timings.

HI Anjali,
If i get it well, you have installed BW in your PC, and you want to find out :
1)Can I Executed Process Chain in Personal PC ?
If the installation was ok, you wont have any issue in the execution of Process Chain.
2)Can i do a inhacemente in Personal PC ?
Idem before.
What was the Short Dump?
I thing that you have had some issue during the instalation,and you skip it.

Help! about process chain execution status

hi:
we nearly have one problem about the process chain execution status,
when error occured during process chian execution, we fixed it in time,
however, even the error repaired, its status still showed yellow, and this
stop the subsequent process to excute.
Any body who can provide some help to solve this problem? thanks in advance
and looking forward to one reply.

Hi ,
Try this method
Open the messages of a failed step by right clicking on it and selecting 'display messages'.
In the opened popup click on the tab 'Chain'.
In a parallel session goto transaction se16 for table rspcprocesslog and display the entries with the following selections:
1. copy the variant from the popup to the variante of table rspcprocesslog
2. copy the instance from the popup to the instance of table rspcprocesslog
3. copy the start date from the popup to the batchdate of table rspcprocesslog
Press F8 to display the entries of table rspcprocesslog.
Now open another session and goto transaction se37. Enter RSPC_PROCESS_FINISH as the name of the function module and run the fm in test mode.
Now copy the entries of table rspcprocesslog to the input parameters of the function module like
described as follows:
1. rspcprocesslog-log_id -> i_logid
2. rspcprocesslog-type -> i_type
3. rspcprocesslog-variante -> i_variant
4. rspcprocesslog-instance -> i_instance
5. enter 'G' for parameter i_state (sets the status to green).
Now press F8 to run the fm.
Now the actual process will be set to green and the following process in the chain will be started and the chain can run to the end.

OS command in Process Chain

Hi all,
I'm using the OS Command in a process chain and I have the "Evaluate Output of Command" checked along with It will be repeated" selected. It's looking for a file on the app server and repeating every 3600 seconds for 24 hours. The issue is if the 24 hours goes by and no file is found the process chain continues on to the next Process. I expecting the chain to stop with errors. Is this the correct functionality? If so, any ideas how I can stop the process if the repeat time is exceeded and file not found?
Regards,
Dae Jin

Hi Dae,
   Try this way. Separate present Process chain into two chains.
   Create an ABAP program to trigger OS Command and an event(EVENT1) on success of finding the file or another event(EVENT2) if file not fround and to repeate the process to find the file.
   Create first chain, and make it event based(EVENT2) and create 2nd chain aldo event based(EVENT1).
activate and schedule both chains event based. trigger the first chain. It will check the file and if it is success ABAP program raise and event(EVENT1) and it will trigger the 2nd chain. or it will raise the event(EVENT2), it will reapete the 1st chain for finding the file.
So here 2nd chain triggers on EVENT, so time limit. And it only excutes if first chain picks the file successfully,
Hope it Helps

How to trigger a process chain using external scheduler ?

Hi all,
we have a requirement wherein we need to trigger the process chains from an external scheduler used by client rather than directly scheduling it through BW scheduler.So any pointers on this will be heplful.

Hi we have had a same scenario like this. You can schedule it using schedulers like autosys. Speak to your basis team and see if you have the autosys software installed or some thing similar to that. You have to write a program which calls the function RSPC_CHAIN_START. When you excute this program, it willl ask for a variant to execute. this variant will be the start variant of the process chain you want to trigger.
the flow will be like the basis team will schedule the autosys or the scheduler to run the program and this program will in turn trigger the process chain.

Satish.

Process Chain Red 'X', Exec Infopckg Yellow, Infopckg monitor/data correct

Dear and respectable colleagues of the forum,
I am experiencing a problem in a process chain when executing infopackages. The process chain has 6 "Execute infopackage" processes. Sometimes (1 of 4 attempts average) my process chain ended with red color with 'X' status in the Process Chain Display Log View.
Reviewing within the chain Log, there is one of the "Execute infopackage" processes that appears in yellow color (it loads from direct update ODS to an infocube). However, revising the Logs for its corresponding Infopackage execution I found that it says that "Data successfully updated". Moreover, If I review the data loaded it seems to have been loaded correctly.
Then, Why does the "Execute infopackage" process in PC finishes with yellow color if the Infopackage execution itself finishes correclty?
To complete the whole scenario: I execute this process chain every night from an Abap program; the program has a Loop that traverses a table, and executes the process chain as many times as the quantity of rows in that table (table has 10 rows meaning offices). As you can understand, the chain is executed 10 times, and the error occurs in any of the 6 "Execute infopackage" processes indistinctly.
I review ST22 and SM37 for all users for the datetime when the error occured butnothing bizarre was reported. It is left to review SM21.
The following is the detail of messages.
Logs for Execute Infopackage
   Data successfully updated
Monitor of Infopackage
Details Tab
     Requests (messages): Everything OK
     Extraction (messages): Everything OK
     Transfer (IDocs and TRFC): Everything OK

       Llena cubos de carteras vtas sec por distrib - autom

Dear s v desh,
I am on SAP BW 3.5, I already checked the cube and it is green - all right.
The message in the infopackage excution node in the process chain says (non-error):
"Data successfully updated"
The error message in process chain monitor (log) says:
......"Overall status: Error occurred: or: Missing messages
............Process Chains : Errors occurred"
I just realized that there is no messages at all in the infopackage monitor (log).
I have received a clue, someone asked me to review note 1396417, and I will.

How to stop a triggered process chain

Hi,
Does anyone know how to stop a process chain? It was accidentally triggered twice and we need to stop it. Thanks.

Hi,
There r 2 ways to kill the job.
One is using transation RSMO locate the job and display the status tab double click on the yellow light that is shown on the line total, a pop will come 'set overall status ' is displayed select the desired status that is red and save it. Then return to the monitor page and select the header tab double ckick on the data target right click and then goto 'manage',there should be request sitting there probably with yellow lights , highlight the line with the faulty request click the delete button then click refresh button.
Second is goto SM37 and click on the active selection and enter the jobname and then click excute the particulr job should appear highlight the jobname then click on the stop iconthat appears on the taskbar( 3 rd from left)
hope it is clear.

Urgent: Problem with Process chain.

Hello Experts,
In my process chain I have an ABAP Program which produces an error message:
RFC server sapftp cannot be started - 1 : Programm nicht über RFC gestartet. Kein Rückruf möglich.Message no. CMS057
Manually I executed this program with out any problems. But this program was not responding via Porcess chain.
After finishing the successfull load this program copies the files from Application Server in to our Central Project Directory to archive the data and deletes the file from Application server.
Any suggestion please...........
Thanks in advance.
Thanks & Regards

Hi Sailekha,
When the program was excuted through the Process Chain the Program was not able to access the Application Server, this could happen sometimes due to RFC issues.
Did you try repeating the Program from the Process Chain???
Is this issue happened for the first time???
Depending on these questions you can decide on whether it was an RFC issue.
If such is not the case check for the next run of Process Chain and also check for the variant assinged in Maintain Variant of this ABAP Program in this Process Chain.
Hope it helps!!!
Cheers,
Neelesh Jain.

Process Chain inconsistency

Hi All,
Actually my scenario is, there are a few process chains which not excuting after they were scheduled for a particular time. Almost everyday i need to manually trigger them. This was not the case even a few days back. Of these chains a few are consistently failing every day and everyday i need to manually schedule them.
Also there is no particular error message apart from "the chain was removed from scheduling"
Can you please suggest?

Hi,
HACR (Hierarchy attribute change run )is nothing but change run process to

Error in execution of process chains

Hi All,
when i am trying to excute a process chain, i am facing follwoing error:
1) My chains contains a ODS with its infopakage so data is flowing form infopakage to ods and get activated.
2) delete index is executed at cube level. and gets updated through DTP
Here is the errror message its thorughing
"Job BI_PROCESS_DROPINDEX could not be scheduled. Termination with returncode 8"
Please give me useful tips to execute the chain. Points will be awarded for the useful points,.
Thanks a lot
Narendra

Hi,
yes, the user should be set with type 'system'.
Just use the following path:
SU01-> USER(ALE REMOTE)->LOGON DATA->USER TYPE-> SYSTEM.
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

Issues with a program,that exetutes SEM BPS sequence, into a Process Chain

We have a process chain with a step which launches a program. That program executes a SEM BPS sequence. To set that request into green we have a step with other program which changes the planning cube to batch.
Our two problems are:
1) We cannot check in the process chain monitor if sequence finished all right because the step always finishes ok even if the sequence falls.
2) Our SEM BPS sequence takes a long time and the process chain continues its execution without SEM BPS sequence is ended.
Thanks a lot!
Mario

I am not sure if there is a solution to this in BW 3.x or SEM BPS. But if you can model the same planning sequence in BI-IP, then you can excute it in a process chain using a process chain variant.
