Regading Process chains data load monitoring

Hi All,
In my current project, I need to monitor process chains. I am kind of new to this environment as I had not done this before. My tasks are as follows.
1. Process chains are scheduled for a periodic job for every on hour starting at 6 a.m and ending at 12 a.m. After that I need to stop the chain and reschedule it for next day at 6 a.m. How do I do that?
2. Also if a delta process chain fails in one of the processes, I need to stop the chain before the next delta run starts filling the cube. How do I do that?
Also how to see why the process failed?
Please do respond.
Thanks in advance.

You can stop your process chain in SM37 tcode. Just select the schedules processes, and here you can see your process chain, just select it, and cancel it for next release.
You can restart it, just by clicking on Execute button. Before executing PC, just cross check by right clicking process chain, and go to change selection option of maiantain variant of start variant. And see if process chain schedule option is starting at 6A.M. or not, and also check it is selected as period job of ` hour or not.
You can see log of process chain by right clicking it, and checking the message. It depends on what option for next process is you selected, like if your next variant connected to failed variant is selected as only if success, then you don;t need to stop ot. It will automatically not go to next process. or right click and you can select stop.
By right clicking on failed process you can see the logs in details.

Process Chain Data load fail /send email is not woking

Hello Experts,
I have created a process chain for daily data load. And created a message variant to send an email if the data load fials, but it's not working. I am not sure what I am missing. Here are the step I did...
1. Right click on the Info Package in the process chain and select Create Message, select errors radio button and then created new variant.
2. In the variant screen, clicked on Maintain Recipient list and enter the Recipient names and mail options like express mail, send copy etc there and then saved.
Didn't select any under REcip type. Not sure whether it's needed.
I greatly appreciate your help.
Thanks

did you configure the Basis process to send external emails and the automatic output process?
You could see this in tx SCOT
If there´s any record in tree (SAP SERVER)->INT->SMTP
Here.... if is not configured the automatic output you can manually send the emails.....
If this doesn´t works you need to talk to your basis support for the email basis configuration....

Process chains data load

Can any body help in data scheduling issue
I am able to load data manually the issue is i selected some of the datafields in InfoPackage data selection field and saved .
i put this Ip in the process chain.now the issue is i don't to load data immediately .. say i want to load the data after 3 hours for this i want to set the time .i did set up in the process chain start variant
but it is not working can anybody give me the steps in detail please....
Advance thanks
Kelvin sam

Hi Kelvin,
This should work using the start variant in the chain but of course the infopackage variant will only run if the process
before was successful (depending on your settings with the links joining the processes in the chain).
If you right click on the start variant, select 'maintain variant' , on the next screen make sure 'direct
scheduling' radio button is flagged unless you are using a meta chain as starter process.
Click on 'change selections' button , on the next screen select 'date/Time' option and here
you can set the start date and time. You then need to save this setting , select save
and on the next screen save again. You then need to activate and schedule the
chain again.
If this still does not work can you check if there are errors messages generated in
sm21/st22 or in the process chain log.

Des.

Problem in Process chain data loading

Hi Experts,
We have a Process chain in which the lists of jobs are as follows.
1) BI_TRIGGER_PROCESS
2) BI_PROCESS_LOADING
3) BI_PROCESS_ODSACTIVAT
4) BI_PROCESS_DROPINDEX
5) BI_PROCESS_LOADING
6) BI_PROCESS_INDEX
7) BI_PROCESS_ABAP
These jobs trigger the PC and load the data to ODS, activate and delete the index for cube and load data to cube and create the index and then delete the file from the FTP.
The problem is that the Initial job (BI_TRIGGER_PROCESS) is being repeating multiple times because of which the loading is taking place for the same file repeatedly to ODS. one day it was happend repeatedly for 130 times. This is being happening on a randomly basis. We are unable to figure it out the where the problem is. Can anybody help in this regard?
Thanks.

Hi Rama,
Following is my understanding of problem.
You have Following steps in process chain
1) BI_TRIGGER_PROCESS
2) BI_PROCESS_LOADING
3) BI_PROCESS_ODSACTIVAT
4) BI_PROCESS_DROPINDEX
5) BI_PROCESS_LOADING
6) BI_PROCESS_INDEX
7) BI_PROCESS_ABAP
Some times only first two steps repeat multiple times i.e
1) BI_TRIGGER_PROCESS
2) BI_PROCESS_LOADING
In such case you should see the log from process chain log view.
I believe you should take your process chain out of schedule and reschedule it.
Also check whether somebody has scheduled the inopackage.

Infocube/DSO/Process Chain - data load statistics

Hi,
I'm trying to look for the total data records extracted per day and extraction time from ECC into a particular DSO or infocube.
Also the start and end times of the process chain which executes this infocube.
We are trying to do some performance analysis for the volume testing.So ,we can compare the data volume loaded vs the execution times.
I was able to look under the infocube/dso -> right click -> MANAGE -> transfered records/update records , request time,update time
For this, do I need to look at the full update details or the delta update details?
Also under a particular process chain,-> right click on First step ->Display messages to get the start time of the job
Right Click on last Step ->Display mseeages to get the job finished time.
I just wanted to get your thoughts on this, if this is the correct way to get the total records extracted and extraction times along with process chain times.
Thank you.

Hi,
Based on the time char like 0calmonth, 0calday you will check the data.
check the jobs in SM37 at ECC and BI system.
select the specific jobs it will give clear picture. how much taking time form source to target.
you use the DB02 and STO5 and RSTT you can do performance analysis.
manage screen you will get either full or delta and which one source system and which type of data source.
Process chains have it will automate the PRD system
Thanks,
Phani.

Process chains for loading data to target is not functioning

Hi SAPians,
Recently, we have upgraded the firmware on IBM P590 with the help of IBM on Saturday i.e. 06/12/2008 (The firmware of P5-590 was SF235_209. It was upgraded to SF240_XXX) and since then the process chains for loading data to targets are not functioning properly. We have stopped all the SAP services, database services & OS services from our end and services have been rebooted after firmware upgrade.
However, the problem with the process chains that load transaction data and hierarchies is solved but the chains that load master data are still not working as scheduled.
We tried to load the master data manually, by running DTP to load data to an object analysis code (attributes) the request remained YELLOW. After refreshing it several times, the request turned into RED. The error message was - PROCESSING TERMINATED (screenshot 1 attached).
To mitigate this we tried deleting the bad request and it prompted with the below message:
"Cannot lock request DTPR_4C37TCZGDUDX1PXL38LVD9CLJ of table ZANLYSIS for deletion (Message no. RSMPC178)" (screenshot 2 attached)
Please advise us how the bad request should be deleted?
Regards,
Soujanya

Hi Sowjanya,
Follow the below procedure to make yellow request to RED:
Use SE37, to execute the function module RSBM_GUI_CHANGE_USTATE
From the next screen, for I_REQUID enter that request ID and execute.
From the next screen, select 'Status Erroneous' radiobutton and continue.
This Function Module, change the status of request from Green / Yellow to RED.
Once it is RED, you can manually delete that request...
Releasing LocK
Gott Transaction Code SM12 and release the lock.
Hope It helps you.

Data Load Monitoring.

Dear Experts,
I would like to know on what circumstances we should use following Data load monitoring tools:
1.     RSMO
2.     SSA/BWT
3.     ST13
4.     RZ20
It would be more helpfull if you can describe pros and cons of each tool.
Regards
Vivek Tripathi

Hi Vivek,
RSMO is used to monitor the dataloads coming into the BI system. Here you can find the details for each and Every load happened.
SSA/BWT is a Program which provide you the details about Process Chain Analysis, Detailed Request Analysis ,Aggregate Toolset etc.
Refer this Wiki for more details.
https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/wiki?path=/display/bi/bw%252btools
ST13- This provides a set of tools which talk mostly about Performance of the BI system.
Refer this Blog
Overview important BI performance transactions
Regarding RZ20 - It is called as CCMS Monitor Sets
Here in CCMS you have different monitoring tools for different components.
If BI is concerned you can monitor the details about BI Accelerator Monitor,BI Key Performance Indicators ,BI Monitor etc.

Karthik

Process chain design/schedule/monitoring/debugging

hi friends
pls help me on the issue of process chain design/schedule/monitoring/debugging
with one of real time scenario, with help of t-codes and detail navigation
thanks in advance
venkatp

I have listed below the major informatin neede for your requirement...
1.Go to RSPC to view all the chains.
2.There click on any chain which you want to run/view.
3.Click on the log view(shift+F1) to view all the previous runs of the chain and whether they have failed or successful(here you can select 1 day,week ,month etc in the display range)
4.If you want to modify the chain /add a process type /change the variant then click (Ctrl+F9) and do the changes.
Even you can change the start variant in change mode for manual scheduling>right click on start process typeselect display variant--now select start Direct Scheduling/ API or Metachain
under direct scheuling option you can trigger it by setting start immediately /Date-time/After job/event whatever you want to do
Else you can make it part of a Metachain consisting of different such small local process chains.
Now Click on Schedule (F8) to run this chain manually.
5.For Monitoring use Tcodes SM37/RSPCM/SM50
Also you can use BWCCMS.
I usually prefer sm37 to view all the background jobs but SM50 is also useful.
6.debug loop can be used to debug a process chain.(you have to specify here the gap between one event been triggered and the next subsequent process starting)
to capture process in debugger go to SM37(job overview) or to SM50(process overview)

Common issues in data load monitoring...

Hi all,
Can u please tell me what are the common issues that occur during data load monitoring and how to rectify them??

This is a bit dependent on your system and landscape. but to mention some of issues:
- Deadlock in cube because the inxedes were not dropped before loading data into cube
- Unallowed signs in master data prevent system from creating SID
- Duplicate values in master data load (can be avoided by setting a flag in DTP)
- Loading delta package without having intitialized before
- Source package delivers key figure without units (this happens when laoding into a cube or an DSO with SID generation)
- Missing replication of data source after transporting data source in source system

Process Chain which loads data to a cube

Hi All
Please help me create a process chain in BI 7.0. I have to load the data in to a cube and before that i need to delete the existing request in the Cube. I think i should use " Delete overlapping requests from Infocube". In the maintain variant for this process type what object types i need to add. Do i need to add both Execute infopackage and Data transfer process objects.
Regards
Naga

Hi Ravi
I am loading the data from PSA to Cube using DTP. Actually my data source is export datasource (8ZHYP- prefix 8). So accroding to your answer i should use DTP object type in the process type delete overlapping request. But when i create a variant for that process type it is getting Indexs > Create Index > Data Transfer Process > Request to delete data in the infocube.
I just want to delete the data in the infocube before i load the data. So can i delete all the remaining processes.
Regards
Naga

Error in Process Chain while loading Master data text?

Hello All
Having a Process chain and having 5 infopackages(Master data Attri & text)with FULL LOAD with an processing options as PSA and Infobject.In this one of the infopackage failed and the status is in red colour,and when I right clicked there is no repeat option?Now how to run this process?
Heard that v can restart the process in debug screen?can anyone let me know how to do this?
Many Thanks
balaji

Hi dear,
you don't find the repeat option because this is a full load...I think you can easily restart the entire PC (or loading directly the failed infopackage from RSA1), because full loads for master data don't cause any data duplication !
Hope it helps!
Bye,
Roberto

Failure of Process Chain while loading master data.

Hi Guys
We are using BI 7.0, we have a chain which loads the data to several master data objects having a Write Optimized DSO in between those.
The steps of the chain is like this when new/delta loads are started loadin first it deletes the all existing WO DSO requestes. starting it was running nice but, now it showing error as follow
"Process Complete Deletion of Data Target Contents, variant Delete Contents of WriteOptimized Text DSO has status Ended with errors (instance DELC_D2YPRHNFKWTJ27DGHR825IG9V)"

Creation of Decision in Process Chain to load data to a SPO

Hi,
I have a question regarding adding a Decision type to my Process chain.
I want to load data to a SPO that contains 12 InfoCubes (Jan - Dec) from a DSO, but I do not want to start all 12 DTP's.
Want I am looking for is a way to only start the DTP's that load to the InfoCubes that contain current month, last month and all other data should be loaded to a Infocube (nr 13) that is not a part of the SPO so I would only have 3 DTP's running at the same time and not 13.
E.g. A delta load to the DSO contains 3 records; 1 for 2014.09, 1 for 2014.08 and 1 for 05.2013 triggers the DTP to the January InfoCube, the DTP to the August InfoCube and the DTP to the 13 Infocube.
Is this possible by using a Decision and if so how?
Kind Regards
Steffen

I haven't worked with SPOs yet, but I do work frequently with decisions, so here's my 5 cents...
In your case you wish to have your decision based on the data contained in "a delta load to the DSO". I'm assuming you're talking InfoPackage here, because you wish to execute the DTP's afterwards.
So basically you need to determine which "months" are in your incoming data packages. The only way I see that possible is via start/end routine. In your example, you would look the data package and find 3 records each with a different month, being 08.2014, 09.2014 & 05.2013. You could then "convert" these to just numbers ranging from 1 to 13. That makes it relatively "easy" to link the right DTP to the right "number".
Now, how to pass that info (those numbers) back to the "decision" process? By default you base your formula on a "system" field (see basic how to link below). I don't see how this would work in your case. You'll need to somehow export your "numbers" (most likely an internal table or a "range") to memory (or fill it in a [z-]table) and then read it back in with custom code. I haven't done that yet (at least not in the context of decision steps), but I would recommend to have a look at the "experienced" way of working document below. It won't be easy, but I think it could work.
