Process Chains - Production Support
Hi Gurus,
I have doubt regarding process chains in production support system. Is the consultant who is working on production support on process chains monitoring, how many process chains are assigned to him( maximum). Is all the process chains are related to application specific, i mean like all the process chain related to SD, FICO, MM, and so on or from any application.
Thanks in Advance..........

Ramakrishna Kamurthy
Hi Ramakrishna,
Process Chains can be triggered as Batch Jobs ... After completing the batch Job the consultant checks for any failure in process chain or whether the batch job run successfully or not.
More over Process chains are categorised and triggered based on how much time they are consuming to Load the Data.. normally first Master Data Chains will be triggered and then Transactional Data Chains
So there will not be any count that a Consultant assigned with how many chains in production support, as its totally depends on the Batch Jobs triggered ....
Hope this helps,
Sudhakar.

Please check the Forum, You will find lot of discussion on this topic.
You can transport the process chain by collecting it in transport. Based on authorization and system setting you can create it in Production system as well but it is always recommended to transport it from DEv in order to avoid problems in future.

Execute Process chain after infopackage run for a PC file
Hello all.
The scenario I need to solve is the following.
I have several files to be load to ODS from P users PC. I will do this with an info package. But after this load there are some more process that have to be run whoch are created in a process chain.
I would like to automate the execution of the precess chain right after the load from PC file is done.
Any sugestions?
Thanks and regards,Hello Javier Alvarado,
If you use process chains, the automatically integrated processes are ignored and have to
be implemented using the process chain. If you schedule a specific process in a chain,
you support the automatic insertion of additional, relevant standard processes with the
consideration of such automatic actions.
For example, if you have selected the processing types Only PSA and Subsequently in
Data Targets in the InfoPackage from the tabstrip Processing, and you are using this
InfoPackage in a process chain, then the further processing into the data target does not
automatically happen. Instead, it only happens if the process Update PSA is scheduled in
the respective process chain after the loading process. Thus, the process chain
maintenance supports the automation in this case. In this way, you generate a process
variant for updating from the PSA in the chain when inserting the loading process with the
process types Only PSA and Subsequently in Data Targets automatically into a chain.
Well i am talking about 30B Version

Transacton codes for production support and process chain
hi guys,
please any one tell me the Transacton codes for production support and process chainFor event creation - SM64
For Job - SM36 to Define . However for process chains you can define job in Start Process maintenance itself.

Hi Gurus,
Whenever I try to transport a process chain ZFI_0FIGL_C10 from dev. to qua. & prod. the error “Object 'DM' (APCO) of type 'Application' is not available in version 'A'” is displayed in the end of creating transport package.
The process chain was created to load data to 0figl_c10 and it works all right on all systems (dev. qua. prod.).
The process chain contains processes for:
- starting the process chain
- executing infopackage (for loading data to 0figl_o10),
- ACR (activate data in 0figl_o10)
- delete index 0figl_c10
- DTP loading data from 0figl_o14 to 0figl_c10
- executing infopackage 80FIGL_O10
- creating index in 0figl_c10
- building DB statistics
- rolling up aggregates in 0figl_c10
- deleting of requests from the changelog 0figl_o10
- deleting of requests from PSA (0fi_gl_10)
How to find what cause that error.
Regards,
LeszekHi,
A SAP consultant told me to ignore that error.
Indeed, after creating transport with some new process chains (again I was informed about that error "APCO ...") and transporting it to production everything works all right.
The problem is described in sap note: 883745.

HOW TO STOP THE PROCESS CHAIN WHICH IS RUNNING IN THE PRODUCTION?
HI ALL,
CAN ANYONE TELL ME HOW TO STOP THE PROCESS CHAIN WHICH IS RUNNING DAILY AT 5.00 PM. I NEED TO STOP THE PROCESS CHAIN FOR COUPLE OF DAYS AND THEN RESTART IT AGAIN.
cAN ANYONE TELL ME THE PROCEDURE TO STOP THE ENTIRE PROCESS CHAIN RUNNING IN THE PRODUCTION.
THANKS
HARITHAHi,
First and foremost let me advice you to be very careful while doing this.
For Rescheduling
RSPC> chain > Goto > Planning view and
click on Execution tab > select > Remove from Schedule and then in Maintain variant of start process reschedule for the day you require it to run.
For terminating active chain
You can start from SM37, find the process WID/PID then go to SM50 or SM51 and kill it. Once its done come back to RSMO and check the request, it should be red but again manually force to red and save by clicking on the total status button in the status tab. This shuld ensure that the process is killed properly.
The next step will be to go to targets that you were loading and remove the red requests from those targets.
Note: For source system loads you may have to check if the request is running in the source system and kill if needed and pull it again.
But for BW datamart delta loads u may have reset the datamarts in case u are going to pull the delta again.

How to activate Process Chain in Production System?
Dear all,
We transported the process chain from QA to Production. But in Production they are in hidden mode. Means If i select the process chain, it does not showing any thing. How to I can schedule, activate and how i can see it in change or display mode in production.
Please provide helpful solution ...
Thanks in advanceHi Shashi,
This should not be a basis issue .
Any how you have to take care of prerequisites like If you use load distribution for your system environment, the server group (logon group) is reduced to one server before debugging commences or if any auth issue.
[Here is all about external debugging |http://help.sap.com/saphelp_erp60_sp/helpdata/en/af/0cb5403fd63426e10000000a1550b0/content.htm]

Process chain issue in production server
hAI
I created the process chain to load the transaction data . Then i transported to Quality and Production server.
1) When i try to open the my process chain in RSPC in Production System. Then im not getting the process chain . But im getting black just.
But when i press 'change' button in Production Server then it says that "changes are carried out in original system" and then im getting my process chain .
2) When i try to schedule my process chain in production server then it asking for new transport request . Why it is like that . Once i transport the process chain from development server to production server. Then it shouldn't ask for new request.
Pls help in these secarios. I need urgent help .
kumarHi Kumar,
I don't know what the problem is but you can copy in PRODUCTION environment the process chain to a new one.
Please follow the steps:
1. Open the problematic process chain (display or change mode).
2. In the command line write the word "copy" .
3. A popup will appear, insert a new name for the new process chain and confirm.
4. The new process chain is now opened but it is not active yet.
5. Delete the "old" START event and insert a new one.
6. Activate and schedule the chain.
While activating the new chain, no transport request should appear in PRODUCTION.
Hope it helps, Amir. -
Changes in production in process chain
Hi sdn
when I 'm making changes in the production to the process chain, the changes are done but when I'm activating it ,it is saying changes can not allowed invalid call sequence action cancelled
rubaneHi,
Can you please follow the below steps:
Go to RSA1 -> Transport Connection --> Object Changeability
Each Object Type has 3 states:-
1) Not Changable
2) Changable Original
3) Every thing Changable
1) Not Changeable does not allow you to change an object (local or transported).
2) Changable Original allows you to create objects as well as to change those in the originating system.
3) Every thing changable allows you to change the transported objects as well in addition to the locally created objects.
What I suspect is Object Type RSPC (and RSPT) has been set to Not Changeable / Changeable Original in the Production system.
In that case, simply right click on the Object Type RSPC (and RSPT) -> Select Everything changeable.
This should allow you to activate the changes in the Process Chains.
Thanks,

Issue in process chain with DTP after imported to production
Hi,
we have a issue with process chain.
after transportation DTP technical name is differ in prod and dev. process chain is went inactive.
i have read some related threads, i'm not find any suitable solution for this.
we don't have access to change process chain(they are not willing to open prod system)
could you please provide solution on this issue .
Thanks,
EDK....
Edited by: EdK666 on Oct 21, 2011 2:54 PMHi,
I have observed the behavior of changing technical name for DTP but still I think your process chain should not become inactive due to this. I think process chain somehow adjust the new technical name but anyways you should be able to change the DTP in process chain directly in production system.
If that is not possible you can just try re-transporting it.

Creating process chains in production environment..
Hi,
We are planning to create process chains in our project , can we directly create process chains in the production environment? the data and the set up is very very small here so the number of chains and processess are very less , is it ok if we create the process chains in Production environemnt directly, or we need to create in development and transport it to production (note: there is no quality instance for BW in our project).
Solicit your help!!
Regards
SrinivasHi ,
Best practice would be to create PC in DEV and move it to PRD .
Actually what happens in real time is sometimes your data mismatch happens or some other data loading activity you are doing in PRD system . So you need the freedom of creating DTP or Infopackage directly in PRD system . otherwise it would be a time consuming process to make it from DEV to PRD .
Similarly when you are Infopackages & DTPs in PRD environment, there is a chance that your process chain might also be changed . So yes we can create it in PRD system .

Pavneet RanaHi
Based on the error occur in process chain step, we have to monitor the error.
If the error or red color occur when you schdule and check the log view, then right click the error process step and select display messages, check the error clearly by using process monitor.
based on the error you have to react.
this links will helpful to you.

How can we change the description and name of Process Chain in Production
Guys,
Can anyone please help me to understand how can we change the name and description of the process chains in Production in SAP BI?
Regardsopen the process chain and go to edit mode and then press Ctrl+F6 for a rename... you can only rename the description and not the technical name.
If you want to edit PC in production - esp one which has been transported - go to transport connection and change the object changeability for the same to everything changeable ( right click on the same to get this option ) -
Process chains can be created in Production server?
Friends,
I'm new to Process chains. We have 3 servers, Development, Testing and Production.
I want to know do we need to create process chain in Production server directly or we have to create in Development server and then move it to Test and then in to Production? Please suggest me.
JoeHello Joe,
Different people follow different ideas: You can make the chains directly in Prod and maintain them there, or you can also create in Dev and transport them. We maintain them directly in production. This point has been discussed many times in the forums...a quick search should help you get a lot more info.
Hope this helps... -
Changes to process chain in the Production?
Hi,
I have process chain which is running hourly from 4 AM to 7 PM.We have made emial alert in the process chain at each event level.Now I have change some text in the email alert.As we dont tranfer the infopackage we have created the process chain i production itself.
Please clarify my doubt:
1.I will go ahead and change the text in email alert and again I will save it.
2.Do I need to save and activate the process chain as a whole.
3.Also do I need to schedule it again as it is running allredy succssfulyy.(in production)Hi Vasu,
As you said this process chain has a hourly run between 4.00 am to 7.00 pm. Since for every run of this chain there will be a job scheduled, so if you wanna make any changes to your mail alert message and want those changes to be applicable from the next hour run, then you have to make this changes well prior this next run ( in between the current & next hour run). Before making those changes please do de-activate the chain, make the required changes & again Activate the chain. I hope this should solve your problem.
Regards,
Syed.
