Processing Types for Action Definition (GTS version 10.1)

Hi Friends/Experts
In PPF settings, for Processing Types for Action Definition US_CU_EX_CUSEX_M_UAES2 Processing settings are not being loaded. It shows the permitted processing type for action as Method Call but the Set Processing box is not being displayed. What could be the reason and how can I fix this/
Appreciate quick response.
Thanks
Keshav Murthy

Hi Dave
Well I it was not with an intent to change any settings. By default it should have been displayed and as I did not see it there, wanted to know how did that disappear! and was not sure if it would have any impact while processing any messages for declaration.

Implementing a custom process type for a process chain

I have created a custom process type for a process chain that allows a user to send back a failure or error status when calling an ABAP program. I copied the class that is used from the existing ABAP process type as a template.
The process type works fine, I just cannot find out how to recreate the documentation for my custom type using free text. When you maintain the process type there is a field for the documentation object, but I can't find where in SAP to implement this.
I have tried looking at the document maintenance using SE61 and looking into the class documentation from SE24 with no success. The only detail that is provided in the SAP help portal is:
"If necessary, assign a documentation type and a docu. object to the process type. The docu object can be called up via F1 in the process chain maintenance overview tree. "
Does anyone out there have any experience with this that can push me in the right direction?
Thanks,
Eddie

You can create and maintain system documentation from transaction SE61. This is how you would create documentation for a process type or if you wanted to create a book. <a href="http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/a4/d47df949e111d189730000e8322d00/frameset.htm">more info</a>
Here are the steps to make your documentation similar to that used for the ABAP process type:
From transaction SE61:
-Create a document of type TX (either from scratch or by copying RSPC_ABAP which is used for the SAP-delivered ABAP process type)
-Make any changes you need. I suggest downloading the document in ITF format and make the changes in a basic text editor and then uploading your changed document. It's a little easier to tell what is going on that way.
Now on to transaction RSPC.
Once you save your changes, go to RSPC and select on any chain you have to get into the "plan and check views of process chain maintenance." Then just go to Settings -> Maintain Process Types.
From here you can select your process type, select TX from the document type dropdown, and then enter the name of your document in the docu. object field.
Hope that helps.

Any plan for "BIA process types" for Process Chains?

Hi,
This morning one of our blades (with Versoin 49) become unresponsive due to memory leak; RFC server on the blade was not releasing the memory. As you know by now, when it happens we restart the server on that blade and things start working until the next time.
As a preventative measure, we would like to create a program and put in a process chain to restart the RFC and Index servers for all the blades everynight. Do you have any program already to do so? We identfied the api's already but wanted to see if somebody already doing this.
Or even better, is there any plan for creating new "BIA process types" for the process chains that we can drag/drop instead of writing programs?
Cheers
Tansu

RDBMS type for Action code 108

Hi All,
I need to import several hundred users into ACS 4.2. So far I can import the users and groups with no problem, but most of the user use RSA Tokens for authentication. Unfortunately, the RDBMS guide for action code 108 does not list RSA Token as a valid external database. It list all the other types, but not RSA. I wonder if the documentation is incomplete or it was omitted on purpose.
Thanks in advance,
Stan

In previous versions the value would be "PASS_TYPE_SDI" referring to Security Dynamics who went on to become RSA.
Appliance versions have/could not support this because it required 3td party dlls and various open ports.
Maybe they quietly dropped it from all versions. In which case you'd be forced into using the generic RADIUS authenticator and setting up the RSA RADIUS server to receive the requests. Then, of course you'll be running 2 RADIUS servers and might ask if that makes any sense at all.

How to capture the process type for a particular application

In my application CRMD_BUS2000120 there are 3 process types namely incidents, zcomplaints and zrepair order. But all the 3 display the same description as New: Incidents . Since this is attached with the application name. How can i change the description according to the process type i select. If I select incidents the description should be Incident , if i select zcomplaints it should be zcomplaints. Can anyone guide me how to do this.
Thanks in Advance,
Anu

Hi Fred,
If you open any activities or opportunities, you can see the description if you select new button and click on the process type. It will be display Activities and below that New: Activity. Instead of always displaying the same description I want to override the description according to the process type. For me the application is not activity but Incident. Hope I am clear with the question.
Thanks,
Anu

Process Chains and Process Types for ODS Change logs

We have created and used process chains to manage a large amount of our batch processing. I am looking to convert our batch process of deleting data from ODS change logs into a process chain. I have been unable to find a process type that will allow us to do this.
Any thoughts?

Hi Lisa,
You can use Process "Deleting Requests from the PSA" for deleting PSA and change log data.
Since the change log is also stored as a PSA table, you can also use this function to delete change log
records. You can find additional information under Deleting from the Change Log.
More info:

Hello, Tarang.
Yes, you can set a number of processing types for an action. For this go to an action defenition, then navigate to Processing Types and there choose 'New entry', in the field "Assignment" choose processing type using value help and enter details.
Hope this will help.

Email Alert for Process Chain for ABAP Process Type

Hi BW Experts,
                         I created a process chain based on ABAP Process Type ( for Broadcasting rsrd_broadcast_starter). I want to add alert message for each ABAP process if it is failed. But I cant see any option showing Successfull or Error or Always when I select create message option on the process type. How ever I can see for other process chain which is loading data (Process Type is Info Package ) from SAP into BW.
                         Please some one tell me why it is not showing alert message for ABAP Process Type.
Thanks
Ganesh Reddy.
Edited by: Ganesh Reddy on Jul 13, 2009 10:16 PM

I dont have the exact answer for your question, But as a work around i can suggest you that.
If these ABAP programs are included in a chain and this local chain is a part of meta chain then you can create a message on the local chain.By right clicking on the local chain >Create Message>Success
                                                                                --->Failure
>Always
Hope this resolves the problem tempervorly.I will get back to you once i have
Or the permanent solution is
Its big and also easy method to perform, by this you will be able to get all the options for a ABAP Program also.If you have any questions please let me know.

Urgent Help need for ABAP Custom Process Types

Hi Gurus,
I have created a Custom Process Type for ABAP program which returns status (Success or Failure).
I followed the below procedure to create a custom ABAP process type.
In RSPC, I went to Settings -> Maintain process types
I selected the ABAP process type and then selected the EDIT -> COPY AS and then in the process chain configuration screen, I gave a new name to the process type, changed the POSSIBLE EVENTS settings to "2 process ends "successful" or "failure" and saved the settings to confirm changes.
Now I can see the new process type for ABAP program which returns the success or failure for the successors.
Now, my question is, where do i write the logic for ABAP program ? how does the ABAP program returns the success or failure. Do I have to change the code in the method IF_RSPC_EXECUTE~EXECUTE to return success or failure. Please make me clear where I can write the code? For example in my ABAP program, I am searching a table to find a specific value. If the value is not found, then the ABAP process type should return failure, if found should return success. How can I do this?
Thanks in advance,
Regards,
aarthi

Hi,
   We have a similar problem. We have an ABAP program in a process chain that
uses a custom process type with on success and on failure.
    If the program is successful there is no problem. it will run the next process step.
    The problem is when the ABAP Program fails and even though the message class is E in our ABAP program it has a confirm popup message with a status change and asks "Save Status and Trigger Events if Appropriate".
     Once you enter Yes to continue it then continues to the next step in the program and is fine.I traced in debug where this status message is appearing. It is in CL_RSPC_LOG. There is a popup_to_confirm_step where it checks the e_status that is value J ( Framework Error upon completion). Then it submits the rspc_process_finish program to complete and call the on error process step.
     Has anyone else experienced this and is there any other documents out there to help me?
Apologies if this is not very clear.
Any assistance would be appreciated.
Thanks

Action profile using External communication processing type

Hi
I am using external communication processing type for PDF.I want to print the form instead of mail.
Can anyone give me what's the difference if we need to only print it and not send to email. Also how can we allow the option to reprint when we need it.
Regards,
Deepthi.

Hi Deepthi,
If you want to print the PDF, you have to use procssing type as "Smart form print".
Ex:
with this you can print the manually multiple times also.

OIM 11g R2: Setting target attribute dependend on process type (create, update, disable)

Hi,
I try to set an attribute ("Action") of users on a target system (Lotus Notes) dependend on the type of process that was carried out:
When the user is created in Lotus Notes by oim, "Action" should be set to the value "create".
When the user is updated in Lotus Notes by oim, "Action" should be set to the value "update".
When the user is disabled in Lotus Notes by oim, "Action" should be set to the value "disable".
What would be the easiest way to achieve that? And how exactly would I have to set that up? (I have tried reading the documentation on Adapter Tasks, however I wasn't able to get that to working...).
Thank you!
M

Hi J,
thanks for your reply. I had some troubles trying to follow your description, but this is what I did:
1) Create one field in your process form as "Action".
I used the pre-existing field "RoamSubdir"
2) Create a new Process Task in Lotus Notes Process Defn for "Action Updated" (You can use OOTB adapter for mapping purpose)
DesignConsole: Process Management > Process Definition > "Lotus User", Add: "RoamSubdir Updated"
3) Create a new Process Task Adapter which populates which takes input as input1 and return the input.
Development Tools: Adapter Factory > Adapter Name "RoamSubdirAction", Adapter Type: "Process Task" > Tab "Variable List", Add "Name: input1, Type: String, Mapped As: Resolve at runtime", Tab "Adapter Tasks" > Add "Logic Task", "Set Variable", Variable Name "Adapter return value", Operand Type "Variable", Operand Qualifier "input1"; Click "Build".
4) Create 3 Process Tasks in Lotus Notes Process Defn . One for each action. For example: Update Action As Enable, Update Action As Disable, Update Action As Create. In each process tasks, pass input as Enable,Disable and Create respectively.
Process Management > Process Definition > "Lotus User", Add: Task Name: "Update SubRoamdir As create", Tab "Integration", Add, "Adapter", adpROAMSUBDIRACTION. Edit "2|N|input1|input", Map To: Literal, String, create; Edit "1|N|AdapterReturnValue|ReturnVariable", Map To: Process Data, Qualifier: RoamSubdir
5) Map each tasks created at step 4 to success of Create User, Enable User, Disable user respectively.
Process Definition > Edit "Create User" > Task Dependency, Dependent Tasks, Assign "Update RoamSubdir as create"
However, this does NOT work. When provisioning a new user on Lotus, looking into the resource history I can see that "Update RoamSubdir as create" is NEVER called.
Did I do something wrong?
Thanks for your help,
M

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
Siggi

Process Type ABAP does not work properly via process chain

Dear SDNers
I am running a process chain and it contains process type ABAP program. ABAP program was running correctly till now via this process chain. ABAP program process type generally takes approximately 2 hours to run. But now, this process type for ABAP program just run for less than 1 minute and finishes successfully. The issue is that ABAP program does not run at all.
I ran the ABAP program in background and it took approximately 2 hours to run. ABAP Program is local means in our BW system and does not involve Remote Function call. We have BI7.0 system
Has some one came across this type of issue?
Best Regards
Pradip

Has the aleremote user or which ever user you have defined for background scheduling changed permissions recently?
What happens if you create an adhoc chain and include this ABAP variant, does it run then?
What does the log say in SM37 when run via process chain?

To trigger a process chain from an external program you can use the function:
RSPC_API_CHAIN_START
you need only to know the Chain ID and pass it in import parameter.
Here an example:
select-options v_time for sy-uzeit.
parameter: chain type RSPC_CHAIN.
check sy-uzeit in v_time.
CALL FUNCTION 'RSPC_API_CHAIN_START'
EXPORTING
    i_chain             = chain
I_T_VARIABLES       =
I_SYNCHRONOUS       =
I_SIMULATE          =
I_NOPLAN            =
IMPORTING
E_LOGID             =
EXCEPTIONS
FAILED              = 1
OTHERS              = 2
IF sy-subrc <> 0.
MESSAGE ID SY-MSGID TYPE SY-MSGTY NUMBER SY-MSGNO
        WITH SY-MSGV1 SY-MSGV2 SY-MSGV3 SY-MSGV4.
ENDIF.

Process Types in Process Chains - Loading - Repeatable/repairable

Hi,
I know SAP recommends that we do not change the properties of the Process Types for Process Chains. I want to know if any one has ever changed the property of "LOADING" process type to "repeatable" or "repairable". We are keen to change this attribute of "LOADING" process to repeatable. Any experiences, good or bad, would be highly useful to us to take a decision and would be highly appreciated.
regards
Uday

Hi Simon,
So far, I have not come across any documents that explain the difference between the two options. But, I believe the 'repairable" would start from where it has stopped in the program calles, while "repeatable" will restart the current job (not the whole process chain) from the start. Please remember to post it here, if you ever come across any documentation on these options.
