Removing the "target server" from process chain jobs

Dear SAP Community,
Please note we are on BW version 3.5
We have a very large number of process chains that are used to load data in the production environment. Many of those process chains have a "target server" specified, so that the jobs will run only on the central instance.
A new application server has just been added to the environment, and we want to remove the "target server" definition so that the dispatcher will be free to load balance the process chain jobs.
We can see the attributes for each process chain are stored in a table called RSPCCHAINATTR.
Please let me know: can we update the value of field SERVER in table RSPCCHAINATTR, to set it to blank using SQL-PLUS ?
And then can we run a /$sync to bring these changes up into the application layer ?
This would save tons of time & manual effort, and it would set the target server to blank for all of the process chains at once, instead of clicking manually so many times to clear the value for each process chain.
Please let me know if we can take this approach ? Is there any chance of the process chains becoming inactive by doing this ?
We want to set the "target server" = blank in all cases, instead of manually clicking into each and every process chain.
Please let me know, thanks.

Check tcode RSBATCH, If I'm not wrong all process types are assigned to central server. Remove that server name and save.
Now, If u execute process chain, system will prompt you assign server/host name. To skip this follow the below.
Again use RSBATCH, under 'Background and Parallel Processes' tab, click 'Switch Off F4 Popup for Server/Host/Group', enter * (star) under Users for 'Users for Whom NO Server/Host/Group Popup Should be Processed'.
Now, If u execute process chain, it should run on either of servers.
Since u added Appln Server, best bet would be creating a server group. See the below link.

    abnormal problems for process chain errors.
    Thanks in advance .

    Hi,
    1) Invalid characters while loading: When you are loading data then you may get some special characters like @#$%...e.t.c.then BW will throw an error like Invalid characters then you need to go through this RSKC transaction and enter all the Invalid chars and execute. It will store this data in RSALLOWEDCHAR table. Then reload the data. You won't get any error because now these are eligible chars done by RSKC.
    2) IDOC Or TRFC Error: We can see the following error at u201CStatusu201D Screen:Sending packages from OLTP to BW lead to errorsDiagnosisNo IDocs could be sent to the SAP BW using RFC.System responseThere are IDocs in the source system ALE outbox that did not arrive in the ALE inbox of the SAP BW.Further analysis:Check the TRFC log.You can get to this log using the wizard or the menu path "Environment -> Transact.

    Steps in R/3 system
    1. Created a program  which needs to be called from bw and at the end of the program i have calling 'RSPC_ABAP_FINISH' function module & passing the rfc id of bw system and bw process variant.
    2. created a even in r/3 (please note that this is not there in bw)
    3. Created a job  and  under start condiion selected 'after event' and mentioned the event created earlier. And under step1 enter the abap program to be executed
    Steps in BW system :
    1. Created a process chain
    2. inserted a process type 'abap program' and selected the call mode 'Asynchronous' and under destination entered the RFC destination of R/3 system. Under scheduled program enterd the event name created in R/3
    after executing above process chain,  the abap program node is becoming green but the abap program is not getting executed in r/3 system. And also the process after the program node in process chain is not getting executed.  The job which was created in r/3 still showing the released status

  • Process Chain Jobs

    Dear All,
    We run our Process Chain Daily 3 times. but we found that on R/3 side our BW Process Chain jobs gets bydefault Job Catagory as 'C' due to other load on R/3 our jobs are placed in 'Released' if we make it as 'A' jobs get Active is there any option to make BW Process Chain Jobs bydefault Jab Class 'A'?
    Regards,
    Omkar

    Hi Friend,
    let me know , whether the jobs are V3 or what in R/3. if the jobs are V3 , as per schedule these will run in R/3 side.
    as per me, when the process chain start in BW side, it send a request to start extraction job in R/3
    if the PC triggers by any job from R/3, once the job completed in the R/3 it will shows as completed and it will be scheduled/release state for the next run.(as per the schedule)
    i think no need to make it as C / A.
    let me know, what exactly u r facing the problem
    i hope it will help you

  • How can I remove the Demo Viewer from my MacBook?

    How can I remove the Demo Viewer from my MacBook?

    Drag it to the Trash.
    Uninstalling Software: The Basics
    Most OS X applications are completely self-contained "packages" that can be uninstalled by simply dragging the application to the Trash.  Applications may create preference files that are stored in the /Home/Library/Preferences/ folder.  Although they do nothing once you delete the associated application, they do take up some disk space.  If you want you can look for them in the above location and delete them, too.
    Some applications may install an uninstaller program that can be used to remove the application.  In some cases the uninstaller may be part of the application's installer, and is invoked by clicking on a Customize button that will appear during the install process.
    Some applications may install components in the /Home/Library/Applications Support/ folder.  You can also check there to see if the application has created a folder.  You can also delete the folder that's in the Applications Support folder.  Again, they don't do anything but take up disk space once the application is trashed.
    Some applications may install a startupitem or a Log In item.  Startupitems are usually installed in the /Library/StartupItems/ folder and less often in the /Home/Library/StartupItems/ folder.  Log In Items are set in the Accounts preferences.  Open System Preferences, click on the Accounts icon, then click on the LogIn Items tab.  Locate the item in the list for the application you want to remove and click on the "-" button to delete it from the list.
    Some software use startup daemons or agents that are a new feature of the OS.  Look for them in /Library/LaunchAgents/ and /Library/LaunchDaemons/ or in /Home/Library/LaunchAgents/.
    If an application installs any other files the best way to track them down is to do a Finder search using the application name or the developer name as the search term.  Unfortunately Spotlight will not look in certain folders by default.  You can modify Spotlight's behavior or use a third-party search utility, EasyFind, instead.
    Some applications install a receipt in the /Library/Receipts/ folder.  Usually with the same name as the program or the developer.  The item generally has a ".pkg" extension.  Be sure you also delete this item as some programs use it to determine if it's already installed.
    There are many utilities that can uninstall applications.  Here is a selection:
        1. AppZapper
        2. AppDelete
        3. Automaton
        4. Hazel
        5. AppCleaner
        6. CleanApp
        7. iTrash
        8. Amnesia
        9. Uninstaller
      10. Spring Cleaning

  • Adobe LiveCycle ES 8.2 Installation Error can't configure the App Server from Config Manager

    Hello All-
    We are trying to install the Adobe LiveCycle ES 8.2 SP2 and we are getting some issues while configuring the Application Server from the Config Manager, not sure why are those showing up, we never had these issues before when we installed 8.0, please look at the lcm log and the screenshot I provided for the errors which we are getting.
    We are trying to configure the remote Application Server WebSphere on Linux from my machine which is on Windows and i made the target Application Server as WebSphere and target platform as linux when i initially installed the livecycle media.
    The LCM logs say it failed to run the jacl scripts in the LiveCycle root directory and we wonder why is it pointing for the target Application Server to the Application Server which resides on my machine rather than it should point to the one on server. I am not sure what's going on and we did exactly what we did for 8.0.
    Below are the environment details where we are trying to install.
    Adobe LiveCycle ES: 8.2 SP2
    Database: IBM DB2 9.1 FP4.
    JVM Version and Vendor: 1.5.0 IBM Corporation
    Application server: IBM WebSphere Application Server/6.1.0.19
    Operating System: Linux
    Hardware: x86 .
    Any help will be appreciated!
    Thanks-
    Karthik.

    Hi All,
    Even i was facing the same issue but i was able to resolve it.
    Although the earlier reply from karthik_chowdary was sent way back in 2008 and i think would have got resolved till now, but still the resolution which i have found is
    The port i was using on the app server conf screen was that of application server HTTP Port.
    But here in case of WebSphere ND, we need to use port specified in WAS UI > System administrator > Deployment manager > Ports
    Try using that by default it is 8879.
    And this resolved the issue.

  • Can we call Function Module from Process Chain?

    Can we call Function Module(SE37) from Process Chain?
    If yes can you please provide some example link?
    I m new to BI world.

    Hi,
    Create one ABAP program and call the function module from that program. Check the link to know how to call a function module from an ABAP program.

    http://help.sap.com/saphelp_wp/helpdata/en/9f/db98ef35c111d1829f0000e829fbfe/content.htm
    Then use process type "ABAP Program" in your process chain and add the program you have created. So then this program will be executed via process chain and this program will call the function module.

  • How to not run a gateway instance if the target server is down

    I have a DirectoryWatcher gateway instance that runs every 10
    min looking to do a series of actions when a file is added to a
    directory on another server. This other server is down periodically
    and my gateway instance fails. Then when the server comes back up,
    I have to restart the gateway because it has failed. How do I tell
    the gateway instance to not run if the server it is looking at is
    down or the directory in this case is unavailable?

    listeners have a timeout period.  if the target computer is going through a reboot cycle, the downtime should be short enough that you can setup a timeout.  Set one that is long enough so that you do not trigger a failure event, and the timepsan allows for the target server to come back online before the timeout expiration.
    Another way that is more robust is to create a seperate application, perhaps one built on Visual Studio or even a scripthost that does a simple ping of the destination server every 10 seconds or so.  When the server is not found, you can do a shutdown of your CF.    (you can shutdown any application from another application).   Once you can re-ping the server, relaunch your gateway listener.  If the listener cannot support what you want to do, just write another program that will perform your logic for you.

  • Having problems removing a managed server from WL console

    Background:
    Running the 11 g R1 (11.1.1.5) server on Linux.
    Installed OIM, OAM, OVD, OID, WL. (other components may be added later)
    Have not yet integrated OIM and OAM.
    The Problem:
    We were running into a problem on our oim server, that warranted removal and reinstallation.
    we were attempting to remove the oim_server1 instance from the weblogic admin console.
    went to deployments, and deleted the entry there for oim_server1
    Then went to environment | servers
         The oim_server1 now shows as "FAILED_NOT_RESTARTABLE"
         and we can not remove this instance frome the admin instance.
         If we attempt to remove it, It gives the errors
              The server oim_server1 is a running server and may not be deleted.
              All of the servers selected are in a state which is incompatible with this operation.
    Restarted the WL Admin server, then went back into the console. This did not change the status of the managed server.
    Tried going to
    /data01/app/oracle/product/Middleware/user_projects/domains/IDMDomain/servers/oim_server1/tmp
    and removing the *.lok file...
    No luck.
    How do we get around this, so we can remove the incorrectly configured oim_server1 ?
    Edited by: 992276 on Mar 6, 2013 11:30 AM

    i was in the EXACT same situation but on weblogic 10.3.3.
    * two servers in FAILED_NOT_RESTARTABLE
    * try to delete them from admin console and i get the "is a running server and my not be deleted..../incompatible with this operation" messages
    i tried lots of things and but i could not get rid of those servers.
    ### What ended up working. ###
    i just started the servers. there is no way they should have started. i had already even deleted the server directories. but they started. and then i shut them down. and at that point i was able to delete them.
    hope this helps you or somebody. it seemed like such an unlikely solution. but it worked for me.

  • How do I remove the blue tag from my HD?

    Since upgrading to Mavericks I have had a blue 'dot' tag next to my HD's name on my desktop.
    I have figured out how to assign and remove tags from folders generally, but I just cannot find how to remove the blue dot from the main HD on the desktop.
    For example, if I right-click on the desktop icon I can see that the blue tag is selected in the tag options, but it just cannot be deselected there at all.
    If I right-click on the desktop HD icon and select 'Get Info' I can then see the top box in the Get Info panel has 'Blue' showing in it, but there appears to be no way to get rid of it there either.
    How can I switch of this unwanted blue tag on my HD icon?

    Looks like all you guys out there have all been a little too busy to post a reply to this one, but that's fine because life can be a little too full at times.
    The good news is that I found a solution, quite accidentally really.  I simply renamed the HD Drive (Get Info > Name & Extension).  The new name appeared under the drive icon without the blue tag.  Job done.  I am guessing that the blue tag was just a bug that was a hangover left by upgrading from a previous version of OS X, but whatever it was it has now gone.
    Thank you.

  • How do I remove the "Dock" option from the Apple Dropdown Menu

    I work for a school district where I am continuosly having to go back into Mac labs and reverting the settings on the dock back to normal.  Students are changing the size, position and content of the dock, as well as hiding the dock.  These computers are used by students k-6 and the younger children are getting confused when they com in and they cannot find the dock or its not where it is supposed to be.  I have been able to lock the sizing, position and content of the dock but am not finding a way to elimante the hiding of the dock.  Preferably I would like to remove the "dock option from the Apple dropdown menu.  Please help!!!!

    This question was asked quite a while ago and the suggestion was to use Server Admin Tools, which I know nothing about. You'll have to look into that. If these Macs are running off a server, then this might work for you. I'm seeing that Server Admin Tools from Apple is still current.
