  • Import job RSI_IMPORT_CCMS_JOBS is not working in Redwood Cronacle

    Hi,
    We are facing problems in the redwood cronacle, where in the standard import job RSI_IMPORT_CCMS_JOBS is not working. When ever we are running the script, the status of the import job goes to waiting and never gets completed. When its killed and re-run it again moves to waiting status.
    Cronacle version : 7.0.4.2. Hope some one will help me out to solve this issue.
    Thanks,

    Hi,
    as mentioned by Anton in his previous post, the import of abaps and variants is a kind of nice to have that CPS does for you.  The import of abap and variant data enables CPS to create a Script with the defaults all set and ready for you to submit.  Having this data in CPS also means that when you submit your CPS SAP Script the parameter values for instance,client, abap,variant will only be a valid combination.  If you remove the Script Parameter constraints for your CPS Script then you can submit your own Script (using a copy of RSI_ABAP_RUN or RSI_ABAP_RUN_PRINT but with the param constraints removed) with whatever values you like.  If you enter a valid combination the SAP job will run.  If invalid you'll get an error when trying to submit in SAP.  Obviously the parameter constraints ideally are there to prevent this second scenario.
    In terms of why the import of variants seems to hang; you haven't got variants begining with '&' have you?  CPS doesn't like these 'dynamic' variants.  I have had problems in the past where this is the case.

    Check for 2 things.
    1) Redwood comes with different server installations based on server config. IA64 has different setup as compared to other servers. Please check if you have installed correct version on IA64 box.
    2) Not sure which version of Cronacle you are using. If its 8 onwards, you can get setup file from support for IA64. Not sure if IA64 is supported for earlier versions. Check the help file or write to support to check if your version of cronacle supports IA64.

  • Redwood Cronacle - Selects wrong variant

    I have scheduled one job with 9 steps. On third step it takes some other variant, which is not present in SAP system. The mentioned varient in Job Chain is perfectly what is required and present in SAP.
    Due to this incorrect selection it ends in error and restarts. This time it selects correct variant and finishes successfully. This is a monthly job and this situation has occured for last two months.
    It has been verified that noone has modified the job chain in between, as the successfuly ended job was triggered by Cronacle when earlier run ended in error.
    Kindly suggest.
    Thanks.

    Hrishikesh,
    As you say, the parameters for the regular scheduled job will remain as they were when submitted.  To recognise a change in the parameters you would have to cancel then submit the job again (make sure you submit it afresh from the up-to-date script/chain definition and not resubmit the old job).
    I believe what could be happening to give the symptoms you describe is the regular schedule job is running with the "snapshot" of the parameters that were available when the job was first submitted.  When the job is automatically re-run it is using the correct script/chain name, but it is using the current settings of the script/chain parameters, i.e. the correct ones.  I believe this is because Redwood is submitting a one-off job to achieve the re-run and using the current parameters as defined in the up-to-date version of the script/chain.
    I don't know for certain that Redwood is doing this as I've described, but it would explain your symptoms and holds with other quirks I have noticed with Redwood.
    I recommend you cancel the current job and submit a new fresh one.
    Regards

  • Redwood Cronacle - dynamic variants

    Would like to better understand dynamic variants.  I have looked in Cronacle on-line help and cannot find anything there.  Only information I have is that is needed to run RSI_GENERATE_VARIANT and then in a job chain...
       step 1 to set the variant using generated script and
       step 2 to executes the ABAP using template or imported script
    Would like to obtain better understanding of what situations one would use dynamic variants in and maybe short list of steps to do to acccomplish same.
    Best Regards,
    Dean Atteberry.

    Hello Dean,
    Yes indeed, there is no help available for dynamic variants in Redwood. Dynamic variants are those variants that are dynamically picked up from the SAP database. They are supposed to be automatically generated nightly via job RSI_GENERATE_VARIANTS. Unfortunately in Redwood, it often fails on individual jobs.

  • Scheduler Move in Redwood Cronacle

    We will be moving one of our servers located locally in Glendale, AZ to Ashburn, Virginia in November. This means that we will be moving one of our Redwood schedulers as well, which includes our Oracle Production database and our Production Repository. During the move, we will be upgrading to SP11 for all of our schedulers and we also anticipate possibly breaking the license for said scheduler.
    My question is: do we need to purchase a license ahead of time in anticipation of this issue, or would it be better to wait until the move, the license breaks and then request it? Any assistance on this issue by tomorrow is greatly appreciated. I hope that my question was clear. If not, I will be happy to clarify. Thank you.
    Mike Anderson

    We don't have a dedicated Redwood Forum here on SDN, but next best for infrastructure and licensing is NW Admin (a.k.a. "basis").
    I will move this there.

  • Redwood Cronacle : run a transaction directly from Cronacle

    Hello everyone,
    Do you know if it's possible to run directly from Cronacle a SAP transaction without using an ABAP program ?
    Thank you for your reply.
    Scheduling team

    Hello
    No this is not possible. Are there any transactions in particular that you want to schedule?
    However, if you go to a transaction through the SAP GUI automatically an ABAP program is created in the background. You should be able to run that ABAP from SAP CPS.

  • Redwood Cronacle: multiple attachments using rwmail

    How can I get my script to send multiple files as attachments to a single email using rwmail, or is it even possible? If possible, what is the syntax?

    I had tried that, but it looks like I just had the script formatted wrong for Windows. It works now. Thanks!

  • PO processing and Cronacle Job Scheduling

    We are using PO to process data out of an external database and we are using Redwood Cronacle to start and stop the PO channel. Currently, we are relying on PO updating a column in the external database to show that its been processed. What I was wondering, is there a way we could have Cronacle monitor the PO processing so we can stop the channel once PO has processed the data?

  • Question about Best Practices - Redwood Landscape/Object Naming Conventions

    Having reviewed documentation and posts, I find that there is not that much information available in regards to best practices for the Redwood Scheduler in a SAP environment. We are running the free version.
    1) The job scheduling for SAP reference book (SAP Press) recommends multiple Redwood installations and using export/import to move jobs and other redwood objects from say DEV->QAS->PROD. Presentations from the help.sap.com Web Site show the Redwood Scheduler linked to Solution Manager and handling job submissions for DEV-QAS-PROD. Point and Shoot (just be careful where you aim!) functionality is described as an advantage for the product. There is a SAP note (#895253) on making Redwood highly available. I am open to comments inputs and suggestions on this issue based on SAP client experiences.
    2) Related to 1), I have not seen much documentation on Redwood object naming conventions. I am interested in hearing how SAP clients have dealt with Redwood object naming (i.e. applications, job streams, scripts, events, locks). To date, I have seen in a presentation where customer objects are named starting with Z_. I like to include the object type in the name (e.g. EVT - Event, CHN - Job Chain, SCR - Script, LCK - Lock) keeping in mind the character length limitation of 30 characters. I also have an associated issue with Event naming given that we have 4 environments (DEV, QA, Staging, PROD). Assuming that we are not about to have one installation per environment, then we need to include the environment in the event name. The downside here is that we lose transportability for the job stream. We need to modify the job chain to wait for a different event name when running in a different environment. Comments?

    Hi Paul,
    As suggested in book u2018job scheduling for SAP from SAPu2019 press it is better to have multiple instances of Cronacle version (at least 2 u2013 one for development & quality and other separate one for production. This will have no confusion).
    Regarding transporting / replicating of the object definitions - it is really easy to import and export the objects like Events, Job Chain, Script, Locks etc. Also it is very easy and less time consuming to create a fresh in each system. Only complicated job chains creation can be time consuming.
    In normal cases the testing for background jobs mostly happens only in SAP quality instance and then the final scheduling in production. So it is very much possible to just export the verified script / job chain form Cronacle quality instance and import the same in Cronacle production instance (use of Cronacle shell is really recommended for fast processing)
    Regarding OSS note 895253 u2013 yes it is highly recommended to keep your central repository, processing server and licencing information on highly available clustered environment. This is very much required as Redwood Cronacle acts as central job scheduler in your SAP landscape (with OEM version).
    As you have confirmed, you are using OEM and hence you have only one process server.
    Regarding the conventions for names, it is recommended to create a centrally accessible naming convention document and then follow it. For example in my company we are using the naming convention for the jobs as Z_AAU_MM_ZCHGSTA2_AU01_LSV where A is for APAC region, AU is for Australia (country), MM is for Materials management and then ZCHGSTA2_AU01_LSV is the free text as provided by batch job requester.
    For other Redwood Cronacle specific objects also you can derive naming conventions based on SAP instances like if you want all the related scripts / job chains to be stored in one application, its name can be APPL_<logical name of the instance>.
    So in a nutshell, it is highly recommend
    Also the integration of SAP solution manager with redwood is to receive monitoring and alerting data and to pass the Redwood Cronacle information to SAP SOL MAN to create single point of control. You can find information on the purpose of XAL and XMW interfaces in Cronacle help (F1). 
    Hope this answers your queries. Please write if you need some more information / help in this regard.
    Best regards,
    Vithal

  • Monitoring "check aborted jobs" not possible - Logical component issue?

    Hy Experts,
    we are facing a problem setting up system monitoring in our Solution Manger system.
    We want to check if a specified job is finished sucessfully - if it is aborted we want to receive a mail.
    In another system the monitoring as described is fully functional.
    In this scenario we are facing a problem:
    Error Text:
    The logical components SAP NW REDWOOD CRONACLE and Z_SYS_MONI have different products
    Message no. SOLAR170
    Diagnosis
    This component change can prevent the processes and scenarios which you have copied from the BPR into the "Structure" tab, in transaction SOLAR01, from running in the assigned system, or assigned transactions, IMG activities, etc. may not exist in these systems. For example, transactions or IMG assignments copied into the previous product context do not yet exist in the project.
    If the same systems are assigned to the new and old logical components, the change is not critical.
    System Response
    The system sends a warning and accepts the change, but no data is automatically converted or adjusted.
    Procedure
    If you are unsure whether your assignments will still be in the component systems after the component change, perform the function "Environment - Refresh Buffer" in the transaction SOLAR01. Errors in this program are objects which do not exist in the system.
    Actual product of the logical component "Z_SYS_MONI" is ECC5.0.
    The other (working) is using the logical component "SAP NETWEAVER APPLICATION SERV" instead of the above used "SAP NW REDWOOD CRONACLE "
    How can this error be fixed OR
    How to monitor jobs with logical component ecc5.0?
    Any help will be rewarded!!!
    Thanks in advance
    Tom

    Detailed Info:
    The working solution is assigned to ECC 6.0 AND to SAP Netweaver 7.0 (2004s).
    The selection in business process repository - it-platform - monitoring is assigned to SAP Netweaver 7.0. -  but we have ECC5.0 - even if I create the system/logical component new under Netweaver 2004 (6.40) it won't work
    It seems not to be possible.
    But how to monitor a job in ECC5.0 - think it is possible.
    Any ideas?
    Please help!
    OK
    Seems not to be possible!
    Set to solved - but this is not the way to solve problems dear SAP

  • How to run a 10g report in quiet\batch mode

    Good Afternoon,
    Please advise if there is a way to run a 10g report from command line.
    We use 6i right now and our job scheduler runs reports using "D:\ORADEV6I\BIN\RWRUN60.EXE ..." executable in batch mode on a separate server. We plan to migrate to 10g Database, Forms, Reports. Is there a way to keep this functionality and create a "command" to request the report server to run a report?
    Thank you,
    Dmitri

    So the server (we will call it server1) you have "Redwood Cronacle 6.0.2" installed on has a C: drive and a D: drive. On the D: drive is installed Developer 6i (D:\ORADEV6I). You can install Developer Suite 10g also on the D: drive (D:\ORADEV10G for example). After that, setup Oracle iAS on server2. The good news is you have to change very little code. You can:
    Not use the iAS server at all and use the following command (similar to how you are doing it now) in Redwood:
    return 'D:\ORADEV10G\BIN\RWRUN.EXE'
    ||' userid=:USRPWD'
    ||' module='
    ||v_path||'\'||p_module
    ||' batch=yes paramform=no destype=file'
    ||' desformat=' || v_printer_driver
    ||' desname=:OUTFILE'
    ||' cmdfile=:CMDFILE errfile=:LOGFILE';If you want to use the iAS server, you have to consider where the report will physicall exist. You can have it exist on the reports server or you can have it brought back to the client. If you bring it back to the client you will lose the ability to run this asynchronously (or in batch mode). You will have to play with some of these parameters to get it to work perfectly, but this should be a good start. These are examples of have the report results saved locally on server1...not server2:
    1. Use rwclient to submit a report request
    return 'D:\ORADEV10G\BIN\RWCLIENT.EXE'
    ||' userid=:USRPWD'
    ||' module='
    ||v_path||'\'||p_module
    ||' paramform=no destype=localfile'
    ||' desformat=' || v_printer_driver
    ||' desname=:OUTFILE'
    ||' cmdfile=:CMDFILE errfile=:LOGFILE'
    ||' server=server2';2. Use rwservlet to submit a report request
    return 'D:\ORADEV10G\BIN\RWSERVLET.EXE'
    ||' userid=:USRPWD'
    ||' module='
    ||v_path||'\'||p_module
    ||' paramform=no destype=localfile'
    ||' desformat=' || v_printer_driver
    ||' desname=:OUTFILE'
    ||' cmdfile=:CMDFILE errfile=:LOGFILE'
    ||' server=server2';I would think that Cronacle 6.0.2 can submit a url as a job and wait for the results to be streamed back, so you could look into doing that also, in which case the url you would submit for the job would be something like:
    return 'http://server2:7777/reports/rwservlet?'
    ||' userid=:USRPWD'
    ||' module='
    ||v_path||'\'||p_module
    ||' paramform=no destype=cache'
    ||' desformat=' || v_printer_driver
    ||' desname=:OUTFILE'
    ||' cmdfile=:CMDFILE errfile=:LOGFILE'
    ||' server=server2';

  • SAP CPS - Starting SAP RFC-Agent fails

    Dear Developers
    I try to start an SAP RFC-Agent for a specific SAP instance (which is one of the test environments) and a client in a Redwood Cronacle Repository Version 7.0.3 which fails.
    I get the following error message:

    With the command "show license" in Redwood Shell rs I can see that there is a line which checks whether the SAP instance is productive or not ("Y SAP non-production"). I know this check is not there in Version 7.0.4 but at this point in time we cannot upgrade our whole platform.
    I went to my inhouse SAP colleagues. They checked the definition for that SAP instance and that client. It is defined as test and not productive. Nevertheless the check in Redwood Cronacle brings back that it is a productive system.
    Best regards,
    Stephan

    Hi Stephan,
    From your description you seem pretty sure that in your Test SAP Instance, having used transaction SCC4 the client role is configured as a non-production client?  And I assume from SAP CPS the SAP connect string defined uses the same client and is definitely pointing to your Test SAP instance? 
    With regards to the license check not being there in 7.0.4 and not wanting to upgrade.  You shouldn't need to.  As I understand things the license key was included without considering/understanding the practical implications, e.g. how was a customer going to import thier existing Batch into a test CPS environment if they cannot initially connect to production!!  And as you know was later removed again.  All you need to do I believe is create an OSS message including you current license information and ask that a new key be generated that has the restriction removed.  You should then be able to just apply the new license over the old.  SAP should include the necessary instructions for applying the license.
    Regards,
    Simon
