Regarding "Delete Index" process in the process chain.

Hi Gurus
In the process chain, I have Delete Index -> Load Info pacakge -> Create Index process in the above order.
I am loading few records, so no need to delete indexes everytime. Can i remove the "Delete Index" process from the Chain without deleting the Create Index process. Or do I have to delete both.
Could you please clarify my doubt if possible in detail.
Thanks,

With the numbers you provided, you probably don't need to have the steps. With Oracle (not sure about all the other DB flavors) there are some other considerations:
Not having the indexes when loading the data can improve the load time since the bitmap indexes are not very efficient with respect to inserts/updates. The more dimensions you have, the more indexes there will be and the more noticable the impact of having the indexes present when loading.
The drop index process only drops the F fact table indexes. If you compress your cubes regularly so that you don't have many uncompressed requests, the index rebuild time will remain small, but if you have many uncompressed requests in your cube, the index rebuild time can begin to exceed whatever time you might save on the load with indexes deleted.
With bitmap indexes present, you can also occasionally receive a ORA-0600 deadlock error during the load process, and that can be prevented by dropping the indexes before loading or chose the load option packet by packet so that two packets are not trying to update the same index block at the same time.
Another concern in shops where reporting on the cube might occur during the load process - if you drop indexes prior to a load, any one trying to run a query on teh cube could have poor query performance since all the indexes will be missing onthe F fact table, this agina becomes more apparent the more data you have in the uncompressed fact table.
So it really comes down to your environment, but certainly drop the indexes any time you have large loads.

How can i start the process in the Process Overview?

Hallo All,
i make first steps with nw ce and work on a tutorial. But after i have deployed my model i can't start the process in the process repository becaus the button "Start Process" is hidden, to see here: [screenshot|http://alexshram.al.ohost.de/pub/procRepOverview.jpg]
Please, can me one explain how i can start my process.
Thank you in advance!

Hi Alex,
The Process Flow and Start Process button are not enabled because you have selected the Task Definition item('Display Name Age') in the Processes and Tasks table. Please select Process Defintion itme('prcNameAge' ).
This should resolve your issue.

Problem with delete index of cube in process chain

HI ,i have a problem with my process chain,here on process name as delet index is ther which has been turned to red.when iam going inside of that in Display message iam getting the msg as"Indexes for InfoCube SMS_C06 have been deleted successfully".
since the process is in red next process is not been triggering,but i have to continue the process chain.
can anybody put some light into it.its very urgent........

Hi,
I ran into the same situation with one of my process chain that is part of a metachain. The process chain has the Delete Index that turned red. But the messages show that the indexes on all the cubes were deleted sucessfully.
As suggested, I did a repeat on the delete index variant, but no luck as it turned red again.
Anyone aware familiar with this issue?
Thanks,

Is my Parameters correct?
GIve me the link where I can find more on using External process.
Please...please...help me..

Nikolai,
I have created a simple process flow which only calls the external process. The script is on the same host as the process flow is deployed to.
I have used two diffent values for the command parameter.
1. I placed the full path of the file in the command parameter and left the script parameter blank:
COMMAND: /edwftp/ppas/scripts/ClearPPAS.sh
PARAMETER_LIST:
SUCCESS_THRESHOLD: 0
SCRIPT:
2.I placed the bash command in the command parameter and the full path in the script parameter.
COMMAND: /usr/bin/sh
PARAMETER_LIST:
SUCCESS_THRESHOLD: 0
SCRIPT: /edwftp/ppas/scripts/ClearPPAS.sh
Both of these appear to work as they print out the statements inside the script but the files that are supposed to be removed still remain.

How do I submit a form to a LC process using the process fields component in LC Designer

I have a PDF Form with the Process Fields component attached. In the FSSubmit component, I have set the URL to http://localhost:8080/soap/services/SAPS_Submission?wsdl, where SAPS_Submission is the name of my process. I open the form through a Flex app, fill out the form and press submit, but get the following error: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?> - <soapenv:Envelope xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"> - <soapenv:Body> - <soapenv:Fault> <faultcode xmlns:ns1="http://xml.apache.org/axis/">ns1:Client.NoSOAPAction</faultcode> <faultstring>no SOAPAction header!</faultstring> - <detail> <ns2:hostname xmlns:ns2="http://xml.apache.org/axis/">dtross</ns2:hostname> </detail> </soapenv:Fault> </soapenv:Body> </soapenv:Envelope> The LC process has the schema for the form as an input variable, which is used in the execution of a insertSQLStatement. My knowledge of the process fields component is sketchy at best, but from what I understand, I can use it to submit to workbench without using a servlet? Any help with getting the data from the form to the process using this technique, or clarification about what I should actually be doing would be greatly appreciated... Thanks Ross Malan

The process fields are ONLY needed if you're planning to use the form offline or through email. If you submit the data back to a servlet, you just need to put a submit button on the form.

I downloaded the newest versus of firefox and now it will not open. I've ctrl-alt-delete and under processes ended the process and it still doesn't open.

I'm using Int. explore right now because firefox will not work. Every time I turn on my computer in the morning it will not work.

The message box will have an option [start new session] try clicking that.
If that fails you may need to delete sessionstore.js and its coppies and backups to get the sytem working again, but lets try the obvious solution first.

Regarding deleting index

Hi Friends,
If I delete the whole content of an Infocube and then do the reload,is it require to delete the index seperately.
If I don't delete the index how is it going to impact the load?
Regards,
Debjani...

It doesn't mean that Indexes will delete permanently .. Structure will remain same!
When you delete data from cube it also deletes the generated indexes which are existed .. there is no point of having indexes on deleted records .. it's logical
even it doesn't hold any data it allows you to create index and generate stats(ex. create a dummy cube and try to generate)
For the moment I don't have any document for it.. I will let know
For your 2nd ques.
Only for huge loads droping index will be usefull which will improve the loading performance!
For daily delta load with less volume of data you need not to drop Indexes .. if you do so it will take lot of time to rebuild the indexes(on whole data)

How to delete Init flag in a process chain, before processing the init

Hi,
At the end of the week i need to re-execute the init request from ODS1 to ODS2.
Therefore, i have to delete the init flag first and the requests in the CUBE1, everything automatically in the process chain.
The schedule must be as follow :
1. Delete init flag on ODS1
2. Delete all request from ODS1 in the CUBE1
3. Load an regular INIT request from ODS1 to CUBE1.
Notes :
I cannont clear all the CUBE1 content, as i have other datasource than ODS1.
CUBE1 is the only one data-target of ODS1.
Any suggestion, as there is no process in the process chain to "Delete Init Flag".
Best regards,
Ludovic

Delete Request in Process Chain - still need to delete indexes?

I have a cube here that is a full load every day. In the process chain I delete the 1 request (because there's only one request in the cube at any time) and then I reload using a full load.
My question is that with a normal load into a cube I delete indexes and then load and then recreate indexes. Now with my cube since I am deleting the contents of the cube do I need to add the delete indexes process in the chain?
Do the indexes get deleted when the data is deleted?

Hello,
Yes, when you delete the content of the InfoCube the Index associated with also gets deleted. So in the process chain Delete Content -> Load Data -> Create Index will be enough.
Thanks

Add at least one process to the chain before saving !!!

Hello SDN s,
How ya all ?
I am building a Process Chain which loads around 35 Transactional Data InfoPackages. For this the requirement is to Delete Indexes collectively before the 35 data loads and after the data loads the Indexes has to be Generated.
Here i D&D the Data Target Administration -> Delete Index with that Create Index (Generated from DROPINDEX) came automatically. I removed the link between these 2, and tried to keep the 1 st InfoPackage with Execute InfoPackage, it gave me the message
Display More Chains:
Process Z_DELODS (type DROPCUBE) has already been used in other chains
Do you want these chains to be displayed in the maintenance screen too
Yes / No / Cancel
Then i tried to save or activate the PC it throws this message "Add at least one process to the chain before saving"
What could be the problem here ?
Best Regards....

Unable to start the process chain

Hi ,
I am trying to start a process chain manually , but it gives me a message saying process has no predecesssor ?
what should be done to start the chain?

Did you copy processes from another chain? Sometimes when this happens, you end up copying all the processes.
First, remove the process chain from scheduling. In RSPC, at the top, select Process Chain --> Remove from Schedule. This will delete all the batch jobs for the process chain.
Next, move all the processes in the process chain with your mouse. Sometimes the maintenance will put one process on top of another so you cannot see them all. By moving all the processes, you may find the "unattached" process so you can remove it from the process chain.
Hope it helps..

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 there,
Here you go:
REPORT ZREPORTNAME. "the name of your report
WAIT UP TO 90 SECONDS. "a wait is set to 90 seconds before starting the chain
"call your chain to be executed after that
CALL FUNCTION 'RSPC_CHAIN_START'

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?
