Report on process chains using SEM-BPS

We are looking to develop a tool to:
1. Monitor data loads at the process chain level
2. Within in the same tool, enter error resolution /
action steps for all failed loads
3. Report out % of successful or failed loads, using the data captured by the tool.
We have studied the BW Tables rspcchain, rspcchainattr, rspclogchain, rspcprocesslog, rspclogs, rseventchain and
rspcchaint.
We are considering the following options:
1. Develop an ABAP report and allowing the process chain monitor to manually enter the error resolutions (Perhaps in a Z-Table)
2. Create an InfoCube in BW using the above tables and then write a query, but we can not allow the user to enter error resolutions in the query.
3. Create a transactional infocube in SEM-BPS using the above tables and use the input functionality of tansactional infocube to facilitate the error resolution report entry.
Can anyone suggest any alternate solution, or has anyone encountered similar requirement on project?
One more doubt to check: is there any way to create an infoobject with CHAR type to enter data with 1000 or more characters? Or is there any other alternative solution to it? The doubt is to take care of the text entry for the error resolution.

Just some thoughts:
Have you considered using document service in BW or even KM (Portal) technology rather than CHAR 1000+ fields? This would give you more flexibility also on the type of document.
For loading there are monitors available (based on tables like RSMONMESS). If you are interested in loads only (and not other process types), maybe using information from the BW load monitor could be beneficial (like RSMONMESS) rather than the process chain stuff.
Maybe it's even worth having an InfoObjekt with a resolution code that links to a document describing the resolution with a key and whenever there is a new solution available create a new key with a new document. That would be most beneficial for reporting (like how many times has this problem / resolution occurred and the like).

Report on Process Chain Completion Timings

The SAP-delivered BW stat cubes do not seem to be designed to report on process chain completion timings. My requirement is to automatically generate a report on the start time, end time and over-all duration of our scheduled chains and if possible, also its components/processes. Our approach right now is through manual checking of the logs of the chain.
Inputs will be awarded and highly appreciated.
Thanks,
AL

Hi Angela,
You can create an abap Program using tables RSPCLOGCHAIN and RSPCPROCESSLOG using the (LOG_ID) Log-ID of a Process Chain Run field as join between them .
You will have more attribute entries for the the chain in table RSPCPROCESSLOG .
You have select the latest time stamp field (ENDTIMESTAMP) to get the finish time.
For the process chain to monitor you can either maintain them as a variant in the program.
You need to provide DATUM of table RSPCLOGCHAIN for selection.
The limitation is if the process chain has failed and if all the subsequent process of failure are manually done.
It may not display the right values .

How to find process chain using background job in sm37

How to find process chain using background job in sm37

Better is to select the job.
Select (Define) Step (s) or F6.
Select the line and Menu Goto>Variant.
The variant contains the name of the CHAIN and its VARIANT.
Success
We faced an old job and via job monitoring we were informed about a cancelled job every 'interval'.
We noticed that the related chain was deleted but still the job was scheduled each interval again and was cancelled because an event was missing
We could not find the scheduled job via SM37.
Via view V_OP, view over tbtco abd tbtcp, we find the related entry.
We delete these entries via function BP_JOB_DELETE....

Hi Ioan,
try this in your ABAP:
    CALL FUNCTION 'BP_EVENT_RAISE'
      EXPORTING
        eventid         = 'Your Event'
        eventparm       = 'START'
        target_instance = ' '
      EXCEPTIONS

Trigger Process chain using ABAP code

Hi All,
As per my knowledge there are 2 ways to trigger a process chain using ABAP code :
1) Using FM RSPC_API_CHAIN_START and passing process chain name as the parameter
2)Using FM 'BP_EVENT_RAISE' and passing process event as the parameter, which you can create using SM62 transaction.
I would like to know which one is better to use, in terms of advantage and disadvantage.
Thanks,
Praveena

Finding Process Chain using the Request Number

Hello,
I am new to BI and currently monitoring Process Chains.
I am scheduling a process chain which runs 3 times in a day.
When i see the infocube there are four requests in the infocube, that means one more request apart from my three.
The other reuqest is also being exeuted by user ALEREMOTE which means even it is being triggered by some other process chain.
Can i please know how to find out the other process chain using the request number or so.
Thanks in Advance.
Bharathi.

Hi,
Goto each request and navigate to Infopackge screen and there you ll be able to find the process chain maintenance button. Click on that button, there you ll come to know what are all the process chain have been used for the single or multiple IPs.
Check one by one Request Infopak.
Thanks

Schedule a process chain using factory calender

Hi All,
My requirement: the user wishes to see the report every month, 1 working day prior to the month end.
I am trying to do this usnig processing chain and factory calender to restrict it.
1. How can a factory calender be used ?
3. how do i give the offset of 1 working day prior to month end?
2. If you have any such experience please share.
Please help.
Rohit Kumar.

Hi,
In the start process open the start time parameters screen. Then click on the button '>>' next to 'at operation mode' button. In the following screen, give the factory calender. In the workday column give 2. Choose radio button 'end of month'. In the period field give the frequency of the loads, i guess it should be 1 for you as you want to load monthly. So the job runs on the day before the last working day.
regards,
Murali.

How to schedule a Process Chain using ABAP Program?

Hi All,
I want to schedule the activity of extracting data from the query to a flatfile.
Currently we are schedulling it using the transaction rscrm_bapi.
I need to know , how we can achieve the same using an abap program and not ( rscrm_bapi) in a process chain.
Any help would be appreciated.
Regards
Purva

Your problem will be solved if you use the Function Module "RSPC_API_CHAIN_GET_STATUS" instead of the function module "RSPC_API_CHAIN_GET_LOG".
The function module "RSPC_API_CHAIN_GET_STATUS" gives you the STatus of the process chain, when you pass the Chain Name and the Log ID.
If you get an output
G or F - Report that the Chain is Successfully Completed.
A - The chain is Currently running
R or X - Report that the chain has ended with Errors.
Sample code :
REPORT Z_BW_GET_STATUS_PROZESSKETTE.
TABLES rspclogchain.
DATA: gt_rspclogchain LIKE rspclogchain OCCURS 0,
wa_rspclogchain LIKE rspclogchain.
DATA: gt_log LIKE rspc_s_msg OCCURS 0,
wa_log LIKE rspc_s_msg,
gt_status like RSPC_STATE.
SELECT * FROM rspclogchain
INTO CORRESPONDING FIELDS OF TABLE gt_rspclogchain
WHERE datum = sy-datum
AND chain_id = 'BD_C02_1D'.
IF sy-subrc = 0.
SORT gt_rspclogchain BY datum DESCENDING
zeit DESCENDING.
READ TABLE gt_rspclogchain
INTO wa_rspclogchain INDEX 1.
CALL FUNCTION 'RSPC_API_CHAIN_GET_STATUS'
EXPORTING
i_chain = wa_rspclogchain-chain_id
i_logid = wa_rspclogchain-log_id
IMPORTING
E_STATUS = gt_status.
IF gt_status = 'G' or gt_status = 'F'.
WRITE :/ 'BD_C02_2D chain COMPLETED'.
ELSE.
WRITE :/ 'BD_CO2_2D chain is Running or Ended with Errors'.
ENDIF.
ELSE.
WRITE :/ 'No chain BD_C02_2D started for today ! or keine Kette BD_C02_2D gestartet !'.
ENDIF.
I have just provided a sample code, you might have to edit or add necessary messages to the program.

2) create a planning function to invoke the said function module
3) create a function button on web and assign the planning function.
Now the thing is how to create the planning function in BPS. plz provide me a solution with steps. And how to pass the process chain into the function module and handle it.
Thnaks

Hi Anand
RSPC_CHAIN_START is the standard function module to run a process chain which i want use. Now, how to use the said FM in planning function to achive my task. Do i need to maintain any parameter in planning function inorder to execute the FM. If you know the solution plz explain in detail.
I am very new to BPS..bare me plz
Thank you

Automate "Regeneration of reports" with process chain

Hi All,
From RSRT we normaly regenerate reports. But to automate this I found a program RSR_GEN_DIRECT_ALL_QUERIES. I created a Process chain, included an ABAP program process type, used the program (RSR_GEN_DIRECT_ALL_QUERIES) created a variant to regenerate a particular query (Gave the MPR and the query technical name in the variant), to execute the same in background. But executing this Process chain, the first step itself which just contains one query, is running for almost half an hour and eventually getting cancelled with a short dump "Export_too_much_data". When I check the dump, it says its reading a lot of programs and tables so the dump.
But regenerating the same query from RSRT gets completed in less than a minute. Can someone help me out if there is a different program to automate the regeneration of reports or guide me if I'm doing this in a wrong way?
Thanks & Regards,
Suman Pitta

I am loading flat files through process chains. My requirment is such that i need to create a ABAP selection screen so that user can load the flat file from his PC. when the user is loading the flat file i have to copy the file onto the application server folder and then display him the monitor errors/warnings (if any). when my data load is complete i need to archive the file with time stamp onto the application server folder.
Please help me in this regard....
thanks and regards

To set delay in process chain using a program

Hi all,
We have a requirement in which the loads from nearly 15 sources (DSO) gets loaded into the Cube thro 15 process chains. The source gets loaded from the PI interface. So it might happen that simultaneously 10 loads will be started and reach the cube.
In the cube we have delete overlapping request, so its gives a deadlock when the chains try to delete the prev. request at the same time.
What we have planned is if we can write a program that will set a delay depending on the lock entries present for that particular cube. But still we are not sure how far this will help.
If anyone has faced a similar issue or can anyone suggest on this would be much appreciated.
Thanks
Merlin

I believe in each of your 15 local chains you have the load to Cube process.Why dont you take the load to the Cube out of the local chains and in the meta chain you could sequence the loads from the 15 ODSs so that you can have a parallel processing upto the ODSs ( assuming the rest of the local chain is used to fetch from R3 ) and then sequential to Cube.
I dont think writing a program will help much here.

How to trigger a process chain using external scheduler ?

Hi all,
we have a requirement wherein we need to trigger the process chains from an external scheduler used by client rather than directly scheduling it through BW scheduler.So any pointers on this will be heplful.

Hi we have had a same scenario like this. You can schedule it using schedulers like autosys. Speak to your basis team and see if you have the autosys software installed or some thing similar to that. You have to write a program which calls the function RSPC_CHAIN_START. When you excute this program, it willl ask for a variant to execute. this variant will be the start variant of the process chain you want to trigger.
the flow will be like the basis team will schedule the autosys or the scheduler to run the program and this program will in turn trigger the process chain.

Satish.
