Re : The Overall status of the process chain

Once the process chain is executed to know the over all status of the chain process whether it is completed with errors or not where exactly in the data base the status of the process chain is store. Can any one send the database tables used in process chain

Process chain overall status red - single processes green

Hi,
I'm monitoring a process chain in RSPCM. Some of the steps within the chain went red during the run but went green after repeating those steps. But now my overall status of the chain is still red. How can I set the overall status of a process chain without rerunning it? I don't want to set the status of a single process step but the overall status of the process chain as all steps of the chain are green now.
Cheers,
Alex

If you process chain is designed like
Ex: ZABC
Start-->Local Process chain
And assuming if any process failed inside teh local process chain , the entire Local process chain will be in Red, If you want forcefully change this ZABC chain, then
Goto Log view and Docuble click on the Local Process chain>Goto Chain tab>Copy the Variant and Instance
Goto Se11--> RSPCPROCESSLOG >Pass the copied Variant and Instance here and then execute>Copy the Log id from generated table entry
Now got Se37--> rspc_process_finish -->Enter the copied Variant , Instance , Log id , I_Type , I_State ('G' For Sucessfuly completed) and execute. Now the Local process chian will turn to Green and then the entire PC will in turn green(since this chain has only start process and Local process types, where as start process type is already in Green colour)
Or if you chain is designed like
Start>IP>Delete index>DTPCreate index...
Then Copy the variant and instance of the Last process type in the process chain and the same procedure as mentioned above

How to stop the process chain showing status as yellow but no process step

Dear Friends,
How to stop the process chain showing status as yellow but no process step is running in that process chain.
We have manually triggered the process chain for sales it finished successfully till load data but the next step is create index and DB statistics. Both of this steps are in unscheduled position only and no background job for this.
Please guide me.
Thanking you in advance.

Hi,
At times even I have faced this situation. During those times, running the Function module RSPC_PROCESS_FINISH by passing the right parameters came to my rescue.

How to change the status of a process chain

Hi,
I went through Siegfried's blog and knew how to restart a process chain at a failed step which doesn't have "Repeat" option.
But is there any other function module through which we can change the "Actual State" of the process chain, in siggi's method we can change only the "i_state" of a particular process but not the "Actual State"(refer to RSPCPROCESSLOG table) of the process chain.
Please do give your suggestions if there is any way to change the "Actual State" of a process chain.
Regards

hey Vamshi,
We can directly change the status of the process chain.
there is a specific way to do it, you can go in se38 and change the status from one to another ...go to se38 .... type....rspcprocessmonitor*.........presss f4...
you will get a standard program ..
now go to this program ...and give the set of inputs .... like PID and all from RSPCPROCESSLOG table ..
and in the state give the state you want and press f8.
this should work.
Assign points if it answers your queries.
Thanks,
Dennis

How to automatically modify the Infopackage QM status in a process chain?

We have a process chain that automatically load data to Infocube 0IMFA_1 (The Business Content IM Cube). In this chain we have Infopackage 0CO_OM_OPA_1; this Infopackage has a particularity that remains in a yellow status because it looks for CO orders assigned to IM; if there are orders that aren't assigned to IM, wich is our case, yellow status appears. SAP note 172471 explains the situation and for us the condition that arises the yellow status is not a problem. So we need to turn the status to green in the process chain, but automatically, not manually as suggests the mentioned note. How can I do it? Please help!

I don't know the specific extractor.
With the function and the table you can develop a program that will "modify QM the Infopackage QM status".
Check the status in table and use the function to modify

Authorizations setting for running the process chain

Hai
Iam planning to run the process chain for loading the data into ODS. But i dont have authorization for it.
so what are the authorizations i need to run the process chain in my system. And how can i set all those authorizations to my user-id. I have all authorization rights .
Pls let me knw
kumar

Hi,
Authorizations for Process Chains
Use
You use authorization checks in process chain maintenance to lock the process chain, and the processes of the chain, against actions by unauthorized users.
·        You control whether a user is allowed to perform specific activities.
·        You control whether a user is allowed to schedule the processes in a chain.
The authorization check for the processes in a chain runs when the system performs the check. This takes place upon scheduling or during synchronous execution. The check is performed in display mode. The check is performed for each user that schedules the chain; it is not performed for the user who executes the chain. The user who executes the chain is usually the BI background user. The BI background user automatically has the required authorizations for executing all BI process types. In attribute maintenance for the process chain, you can determine the user who is to execute the process chain.
See also: Display/Maintenance of Process Chain Attributes ® Execution User.
Features
For the administration processes that are bundled in a process chain, you require authorization for authorization object S_RS_ADMWB.
To work with process chains, you require authorization for authorization object S_RS_PC. You use this authorization object to determine whether process chains can be displayed, changed or executed, and whether logs can be deleted. You can use the name of the process chain as the basis for the restriction, or restrict authorizations to chains using the application components to which they are assigned.
Display/Maintain Process Chain Attributes
Use
You can display technical attributes, display or create documentation for a process chain, and determine the response of process chains during execution.
Features
You can display or maintain the following attributes for a process chain:
Process Chain ® Attribute ® ...
Information
Description
( Rename)
You can change the name of the process chain.
Display Components
Display components are the evaluation criterion in the process chain maintenance. Assigning the process chains to display components makes it easier to access the chain you want.
To create a new display component, choose Assign Display Components in the input help window and assign a technical name and description for the display component in the Display Grouping dialog box that appears.
Documents
You can create and display documents for a process chain.
For more information, see Documents.
Last Changed By
Displays the technical attributes of the process chain:
·        When it was last changed and who by
·        When it was last activated and who by
·        Object directory entry
Evaluation of Process Status
If you set this indicator, all the incorrect processes in this chain and in the overall status of the run are evaluated as successful; if you have scheduled a successor process upon error or always.
The indicator is relevant when using metachains: Errors in the processes of the subchains can be evaluated as unimportant for the metachain run. The subchain is evaluated as successful, despite errors in such processes of the subchain. If, in the metachain, the successor of the subchain is scheduled upon success, the metachain run continues despite errors in unimportant processes of the subchain.
Mailing and alerting are not affected by this indicator and are still triggered for incorrect processes if they have an upon error successor.
Polling Indicator
With this indicator you can control the response of the main process for distributed processes. Distributed processes, such as the load process, are characterized as having different work processes involved in specific tasks.
With the polling indicator you determine whether the main process needs to be kept until the actual process has ended.
By selecting the indicator:
-         A high level of process security is guaranteed, and
-         External scheduling tools can be provided with the status of the distributed processes.
However, the system uses more resources; and a background process is required.
Monitoring
With the indicator in the dialog box Remove Chain from Automatic Monitoring?, you can specify that a process chain be removed from the automatic monitoring using CCMS.
By default CCMS switches on the automatic process chain monitoring.
For more information about the CCMS context Process Chains, see the section BW Monitor in CCMS.
Alerting
You can send alerts using alert management when errors occur in a process chain.
For more information, see Send Alerts for Process Chains.
Background Server
You can specify here on which server or server group all of the jobs of a chain are scheduled. If you do not make an entry, the background management distributes the jobs between the available servers.
Processing Client
If you use process chains in a client-dependent application, you can determine here in which client the chain is to be used. You can only display, edit, schedule or execute the chain in this client.
If you do not maintain this attribute, you can display, edit, schedule or execute the process chain in all clients.
Process variants of type General Services that are contained in a process chain with this attribute set will only be displayed in the specified client.
This attribute is transported. You can change it by specifying an import client during import. You must create a destination to the client set here in the target system for the import post processing (transaction RSTPRFC) The chain is activated after import and scheduled, if necessary, in this client.
Execution User
In the standard setting a BI background user executes the process chain (BWREMOTE).
You can change the default setting so that you can see the user that executes the process chain and therefore the processes, in the Job Overview. You can select the current dialog user who schedules the process chain job, or specify a different user.
The setting is transported.
The BI background user has all the necessary authorizations to execute all BI process types. Other users must assign themselves these authorizations so that authorization errors do not occur during processing.
Job Priority
You use this attribute to set the job priority for all of the jobs in a process chain.

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?

Error while designing the Process Chains

Hi All,
I have a issue on Process Chains.
In my Project there are 2 ODS.
ODS 1 : Status Header ODS (ZODS)
ODS 2 : Service Order Header. (0CRM_PROH)
In CRM, if any Service Order is created, it is available in delta Queue(RSA7) immediately.
While loading the data to ODS 2(Service Order),it is checking the data from status ODS 1(Status ODS)
For Example, I am loading the data of service Order 80001 to ODS 2(0CRM_PROH). Before loading to ODS 2, i am checking whether this service Order Number(80001) is available in ODS 1.
If the service Order 80001 is there in ODS 1, it will update the data to ODS 2.
If the service order 80001 is not there in ODS 1, it will not Update the data to ODS 2.
Problem i am facing :
1. First i am loading the data to ODS 1 (Status ODS). Early Morning 2.30AM and it completes the data load at 2.40AM. And document posting is happening on 2.37AM and ODS 1 doesnt pull the data of document posted.
2. Once the ODS 1 is completed, by 2.41AM, the data loading will happen for ODS 2 (Service Order Header).It brings all the data including the document posted on 2.37AM.
3.While loading all the data is available, and while loading to ODS 2, it is checking the status ODS. And it is checking for the document posted on 2.37AM and this document is not there in Status ODS 1 and the data(posted on 2.37AM) will not update in ODS 2.
Because of this, some records are missing in ODS 2. And while loading, we cant stop the document posting also.
How can i achieve this using the process Chain.
Design i have tried in Process Chain :
1. Start Variant.
2. Load Infopackage to PSA only for ODS 2.
3. Load Infopackage to PSA and activate ODS for ODS 1 (Status ODS)
4. Read PSA (of ODS 2) to Load data to ODS 2.
5. Activate the ODS.
I tried, but i got a error message while designing the process Chains.
No type "Activate DataStore Object Data" process can be in front of process "Read PSA and Update Data Target" variable PSA_SERVICE_ORDER in the chain
Pls suggest how to recify this according to my design.
Thanks & Regards,
Ram.

Hi,
You can try this..
.......................................... Start ...................................................
Load data to PSA (ODS 2) ..................................... Load data to PSA (ODS 1)
..................................................................................Load data to ODS 1
...................................................................................Activate ODS 1
........................................... AND ..........................................................
........................................ Load data to ODS 2 .............................................
.......................................... Activate ODS 2 ...........................................

Anup.

Error while executing the Process chain

Hi Friends,
The process chain that I scheduled is getting failed at the Infopackage loading stage.
On checking the diplay message, I found the following log:
Cannot stage requested data for datasource
Error in source system
I activated the datasource in source system, then replicated the same and tried to load data.
But the issue remains the same.
I checked in RSA7. The status corresponding to this datasource is in yellow status.
Can I delete this entry and try again?
Please suggest.
Thanks in advance.

2. Error in unit conversion
Units of measure
3.Error 1 in update
When Src file is already open or not accessible.
4.Processing no data
theres no data selected after extraction
5.Caller 70 missing
" This error normally occurs whenever BW encounters error and is not able to classify them. There could be multiple reasons for the same
1) Whenever we are loading the Master Data for the first time, it creates SIDs. If system is unable to create SIDs for the records in the Data packet, we can get this error message.
2) If the Indexes of the cube are not deleted, then it may happen that the system may give the caller 70 error.
3)Whenever we are trying to load the Transactional data which has master data as one of the Characteristics and the value does not exist in Master Data table we get this error. System can have difficultly in creating SIDs for the Master Data and also load the transactional data.
4) If ODS activation is taking place and at the same time there is another ODS activation running parallel then in that case it may happen that the system may classify the error as caller 70. As there were no processes free for that ODS Activation.
5) It also occurs whenever there is a Read/Write occurring in the Active Data Table of ODS. For example if activation is happening for an ODS and at the same time the data loading is also taking place to the same ODS, then system may classify the error as caller 70.
6) It is a system error which can be seen under
the Status tab in the Job Over View.
solution:
" If the Master Data is getting loaded for the first time then in that case we can reduce the Data Package size and load the Info Package. Processing sometimes is based on the size of Data Package. Hence we can reduce the data package size and then reload the data again. We can also try to split the data load into different data loads
If the error occurs in the cube load then we can try to delete the indexes of the cube and then reload the data again.
If we are trying to load the Transactional and Master Data together and this error occurs then we can reduce the size of the Data Package and try reloading, as system may be finding it difficult to create SIDs and load data at the same time. Or we can load the Master Data first and then load Tranactional Data
If the error is happening while ODS activation cause of no processes free, or available for processing the ODS activation, then we can define processes in the T Code RSCUSTA2.
If error is occurring due to Read/Write in ODS then we need to make changes in the schedule time of the data loading.
Once we are sure that the data has not been extracted completely, we can then go ahead and delete the red request from the manage tab in the InfoProvider. Re-trigger the InfoPackage again.
Monitor the load for successful completion, and complete the further loads if any in the Process Chain.
6.Idoc not processed completely.
Here the request remains yellow (in process) and with the same details (as seen in the details tab of the monitor) for an abnormally long time. Many-a-times, the port for communication is not open and re-starting the load helps. For long running jobs, it may not be advisable to restart the extraction
Contact the BASIS administrator to push the IDOC.

How to finish ABAP program in the process chains

Hello All,
we have one ABAP program in the process chains which was created in the BW system only.
this program we are using in the synchronous mode. according to my understanding we can not capture the failure of the ABAP program when it is in the synchronous mode.
but i found a way through one this forum topic to capture the failure of the program through asynchrous mode by calling a function module RSPC_ABAP_FINISH but it was with the R/3 program in BW.
can we use the same function module for BW program also.
kindly let me know what steps we need to follow for the BW program in the process chains to capture the failure status.
Regards,
Ala.

Hi Ala,
we created an own processtype, look at this HowTo: https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/45d8a990-0201-0010-a290-f22083728179
and than also an abap which can end red or green:
PARAMETERS: red RADIOBUTTON GROUP radi,
green RADIOBUTTON GROUP radi.
IF NOT green IS INITIAL.
MESSAGE i162(00) WITH 'Status' 'Green'.
ELSE.
MESSAGE e162(00) WITH 'Status' 'Red'.
ENDIF.
with i-message process ends green, with e-message process ends red.

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
HARITHA

Hi,
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.

Issue with the process chain?

Hi All,
I have a process chain triggerred by an event.I had this transported into Q box.After moving it to Q i did click on acativate and schedule icon.When i triggered the event in Sm64.The process chain triggerred successfully.The next day when i tried to trigger the event ,the process did nothing,its only after i actiavted the process chain and triggrred the event the process.
I know the process chain should be good after ictivated once when moved into a new system.Can anybody tell me how to resolve my issue of activating the PC whenever i wnat to trigger it.What i am i missing here?
Please advice,urgent

I think Geo answered what you want and what I wanted to tell.
Thanks Geo
Ther are two basic things
--> In order that your PC responds to your "Event & Parameter", maintain the same and PC should be in scheduled status
--> the periodic check box schedules again once the current run completes. i.e makes ready the PC for the next run whenever the next "event and parameter" gets triggered by any means ( you no need to activate and schedule again)
Sorry If my answer confused you..Hope everything is clear now...!

How to find out the process chain

Hi folks
Hope every one is doing good..!
in sm37 my job is running (ABAP program) which is in process chain, but i have to find out the process chain name..!
Could any one help me on this..!

hi,
in SM37 select the job status as active and execute it, in the next screen you will find only active jobs select your job (ABAP Program) click on step - > in th next screen put the cursor on the job -> select Goto option in menu bar click on variant it gives you the field names and desc like chain name, variant etc information.

Question about repeating in the process chain

Hello Gurus,
        my DTP is set as "valid records update, no reporting (request red)", and put into a process chain. the process chain goes wrong on this DTP due to some erroneous records. my questions are:
   (1) based on DTP configuration, all the records are transferred to target successfully except for those erroneous records. is that right?
   (2) after I correct those erroneous records in PSA, I repeat this DTP process in the process chain. what exact data are transferred by this repeating operation on this DTP? do we need to take care of all the previously loaded data for this subsequent repeat loading ?
Many thanks.

Hi ,
Please refer my article for your answer, also this has lots of good DTP features.
http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/10339304-7ce5-2c10-f692-fbcd25915c36?quicklink=index&overridelayout=true
(1) based on DTP configuration, all the records are transferred to target successfully except for those erroneous records. is that right?
Yes. All the erroneous records go in the error stack and then you can fix the errorneous records there and execute the error DTP.This setting ensures, incorrect/incomplete data is not available for reporting.
(2) after I correct those erroneous records in PSA, I repeat this DTP process in the process chain. what exact data are transferred by this repeating operation on this DTP? do we need to take care of all the previously loaded data for this subsequent repeat loading ?
No records are transferred on repeating teh job. We need to manually set the status of request to Green.Yes we need to take care of all the subsequent steps.

Hi,
RSPC_CHAIN_EXECUTE_REMOTE program runs the Process chain automatically.
If we want to change the status of the dependant chains and to run automatically we can execute RSPC_PROCESS_FINISH but we need to give the parameters like Variant name,logid,process type,Instance name .
Thank you....,
