Removing process chain from schedule

Hi Gurus
I have a very basic question, under what circumstances do we take a process chain out of schedule? Till now i was being asked to make occasional changes in Process chains and then revert them back later,i did this activity of changing(adding or removing processes) after removing process chain from schedule( i was asked to do that)...
Now i need to edit recipient list(add one recipient's name ) in alll the process chains where success and error messages are present.
I want to know whether i need to remove the chain from schedule before starting with this activity.
If one chain contains multipe individual chains and every individual chain contains messages,do i need to remove every chain from schedule and edit the recipient list....or this is not required and i can simply open individual chain containing messsages in edit mode and edit the recipient list and save the changes and follow the same for all chains?
kindly help.

Hi,
We would normally be asked to remove the process chains from schedule during any upgrade activities. or it can also be related to any particular flow - this is in case particular process chains are asked to be removed from schedule. This may be due to adding an intermediate step in between the flow or any such scenario.
And you can change the recipient list when the process chain is running also, because here you will not actually be editing the process chain but will be editing the "message" object. just click "edit message", save the message and come out, do not click save when you are in the process chain maintenance screen.
Hope this helps.
Regards,
Joe

  • Removed Process chain frm schedule by mistake

    Hi Team,
    just to check , i went in to the planing view of the PC & removed 1 of the sub chains from the schedule.
    then I do shift f1 (that show current status for all chains in meta chain) .I see that subchain in grey color , in fact it shld hav been in red according to todays loads tht happened.
    Tomm this meta chain trigger's at 12:05 noon, i doubt if tht sub chain will get triggered.
    Again i checked in planing view for the Meta chain-right clicked on tht particular subchain ->display schedule jobs->It shows BI_PROCESS_CHAIN job scheduled.
    even checked the variant , it doesnt show , changed by my id or somethg , even schedule option is same as before.(using meta chain).
    can somebody tell me other ways to chk, if sub chain ill schedule tomm or not.if u feel its gonna trigger ,in what case do we go for planing view -->remove from schedule option.

    Hi Gemita.........
    In a meta chain I mean main chain all the sub chains are scheduled as immediate............and if you open the local chain then it will always be in descheduled mode........and it will only trigger when the predecessor process of that lacal chain will completed.............so you cannot remove a local chain from scheduling because by default it will be in descheduled.......to deschedule a local chain you have to right click on the local chain from outside(......ie without going inside the local chain) >> Display scheduled jobs >> from there you have to delete the release job BI_PROCESS_CHAIN...........so I don't think the loacal chain is desheduled...........
    But you have said Again i checked in planing view for the Meta chain-right clicked on tht particular subchain ->display schedule jobs->It shows BI_PROCESS_CHAIN job scheduled.......
    I don't think there is any problem.....
    Is the loacal chain is in grey colour from outside also ? I mean without going inside the loacal chain.........
    Still if you have any doubt........do one thing..........deschedule the meta chain and scedule it back again.........
    Hope this helps........

  • Removing Meta Chain from Schedule

    Hi
    I got a meta chain scheduled in BBD & BBQ...
    Now for my testing purpose i want to remove them from schedule for a 3 nights and want to schedule them back to normal again
    How can i do this and do i need to raise any transport request for this
    Thanks

    u dont require any transport req for this..
    Just remove from the schedule in RSPC using Meny Bar --> Process Chian --> remove from Schedule
    And then reschedule the chain with the new time schedule which is after 3 days as per ur requirement..
    For scheduling the chain --> double click on the Start process of the PC.
    From Variant screen goto the scheduler screen where u can give ur Date and time with the proper periodicify and then save the settings and schedule the chain...
    This will work for ur requirement..
    Thanks

  • I want to kill a particular process chain from a meta chain..

    Hi All,
    I want to kill a particular process chain from a meta chain as, its having some technical issues.So what is the procedure.to handle this process..
    Thanks..

    follow these steps
    1.Go to the chain which you want to kill .
    2.Go in the log view->top menu bar execution tab.>Remove from schedule.
    you are done
    Another way (bit complex but will work )
    1.Go to the process chain running (which you want to kill) in the log view copy the logid (lef hand side of screen you can get that)
    2.Open a new session ,Go to se37 enter function module RSPC_PROCESS_FINISH -->execute it
    3.Now again go Log view of the process chain right click on the start variant>display messages>Chain tab
    copy the variant ,instance ,date time etc
    4.IN execution screen of RSPC_PROCESS_FINISH enter the variant,instance,data time,logid and Type=TRIGGER
    status = R.
    Actually you will see something like this in input screen
    I_LOGID -
    >from log view in RSPC
    I_CHAIN
    I_TYPE   -
    >TRIGGER for start variant
    I_VARIANT----
    >from log view in RSPC
    I_INSTANCE------>from log view in RSPC
    I_STATE     -
    >R
    I_EVENTNO                       00
    I_HOLD
    I_JOB_COUNT
    I_BATCHDATE   -
    >from log view in RSPC
    I_BATCHTIME                     00:00:00
    I_DUMP_AT_ERROR
    Thats all and your are done.
    But I would suggest Remove from Schedule will surely work....If you have any doubts let me know.

  • How to identify which process Chain is Scheduled.

    Hi All,
    We have 20 Process Chains in our project.In SM37, i have checked the Scheduled Jobs in SM37 and found "BI_PROCESS_TRIGGER" job is triggered. How can i find which process Chain is scheduled out 20 Process Chains.
    Can i get the Process Chain Names from Tcode SM37.Or else, Do i need to check each process chain Start Time ?
    Pls suggest.
    Thanks,

  • Is it possible to run process chain from the certain process/point?

    Hello
    Is it possible to run process chain from the certain process?
    How?
    Thanks

    Hello,
    yes it possible! use the following steps.
    1. Goto the process which you want the chain to start from.Goto display messages>> Chain tab. In the generated instance note the variant and instance.
    2. Goto table RSPROCESSLOG and give variant and instance and get logid details.
    3. t codese37>> run FM RSPROCESSFINISH.
    4. give the deatils u have got in RSPROCESSLOG table here and say execute.
    This will solve ur problem.

  • How to move the process chain from Unassigned node to a new node in 3.5?

    Hi all,
    I have created a new process chain in the development and it is falling under the Unassigned nodes. I want to move that process chain to an another node. but i am unable to do that
    Can anyone let me know how to move the process chain from unassigned node. I have drag and dropped but still the same in BW 3.5 ?
    Thanks
    Poooja

    Hello,
    Try this....
    Double click on your process chain. Via the menu select:
    Process chain > Attributes > Display components
    Select F4 (possible entries)
    At the bottom of the window you will find a create icon
    to make your own component.
    After you created it, assign it to your process chain.
    Don't forget to save the process chain.

  • 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 <b>log view(</b>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 <b>direct scheuling</b> 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 <b>Monitoring</b> 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.<b>debug loop</b> 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)

  • Restarting Process chain from the middle

    Hi all, I have a question about process chain in BW7.0.
    When the error has occured in the process chain, is there any way to restart the process chain from where the error has occured?
    One of the way I came up with was to set the process type into Repairable from Repeatable,but when I try to change the status,the warning message shows up and I can't change it.
    Is this the right idea,or is there any other way to do it?
    Can any one tell me?
    Thanks in Advance,
    Hiroshi Iwanaga

    First of all, find out the rootcause of the failure of the process step that failed and finish it manually. Then, go to the process chain...
    Open the messages of a failed step by right clicking on it and selecting 'display messages'.
    In the opened popup click on the tab 'Chain'.
    In a parallel session goto transaction se16 for table rspcprocesslog and display the entries with the following selections:
    1. copy the variant from the popup to the variante of table rspcprocesslog
    2. copy the instance from the popup to the instance of table rspcprocesslog
    3. copy the start date from the popup to the batchdate of table rspcprocesslog
    Press F8 to display the entries of table rspcprocesslog.
    Now open another session and goto transaction se37. Enter RSPC_PROCESS_FINISH as the name of the function module and run the fm in test mode.
    Now copy the entries of table rspcprocesslog to the input parameters of the function module like described as follows:
    1. rspcprocesslog-log_id -> i_logid
    2. rspcprocesslog-type -> i_type
    3. rspcprocesslog-variante -> i_variant
    4. rspcprocesslog-instance -> i_instance
    5. enter 'G' for parameter i_state (sets the status to green).
    Now press F8 to run the fm.
    Now the actual process will be set to green and the following process in the chain will be started and the chain can run to the end.
    Of course you can also set the state of a specific step in the chain to any other possible value like 'R' = ended with errors, 'F' = finished, 'X' = cancelled ....
    Check out the value help on field rspcprocesslog-state in transaction se16 for the possible values.
    Assigning points is the way of saying thanks in SDN.

  • Trigger process chains from UNIX

    Hi,
    I just wanted to know how can we trigger Process chains from UNIX Server.
    Any pointers will be appreciated.
    Thanks

    I suggest to use the sapevt.exe.
    With it you can trigger an event in the SAP system with the execution of a simple command file (.bat for ex.)
    So the event will start the chain as you require.
    You can find more info for sapevt in:

  • Is there any way to execute process chain from the portal?

    Hello,
    Is there any way to execute process chain from the portal? I dont want to link process chain with any of report. I want to have a button in some of portal folders. User presses the button and it executes the process chain.
    I was thinking about to create a fake planning cube, aggregation level and planning function. I call FM within the Fox planning function that runs the process chain. But it should be done within the report.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks a lot in advance!

    Hi.
    I want to have a button in some of portal folders
    You mean that you want to use some link in EP ?

  • Error in installing process chain from Business Content.

    Dear Experts,
    I have successfully installed the Technical Content from Business Content and now trying to install Content Master Data process chain for info package for the same but its showing error.
    <b>Technical Name for Process Chain : 0TCT_MD_C_FULL_P01</b>
    Error after instaling from BI Content : <b>Process AND has no predecessor.</b>
    Finally, while checking in RSPC it comes the name of Process Chain but its not showing anything.
    Also, one more thing is I am trying to install in development system and if that occurs successfully than transport to production as production directly don't wanted to do.
    Thanks in advance.
    Regards,

    ithink u have not activated the process chainafter creating the process chain u might have saved it with out activating the process cahin so that is the reason why it is showing name name but northing in the chain first activate the cahin then it iwill show
