Reporting Agent and Process chain

Hi All,
We have requirement where every day we need to print some BW reports.
For this we have created reporting agent. But when we execute reports manually through reporting agent it works fine. But if we include reporting agent in process chain it does not work.
Is there something which we should take care of when we include reporting agent in Process chain? We are on version 3.1.
Thanks and Regards,
Samir Attar

Triggering Process chain based on execution of R3 job and Process Chain

Hi All,
I need your help in arriving at a solution for a reqirement.
Scenario is., I need to trigger a process chain B based on successful execution of Process chain A and an R3 job. If both conditions(Completion of R3 job and Process Chain A) are met then only it has to trigger process Chain B.
I know that we can use events to trigger a process chain using R3 job.But my case is differenet I need to consider the success message from both process chain and R3 job.Is there any way to solve it ?
Please provide me with your valuable inputs.
Thanks,
Bindu

Hi Hima,
You can use the 'AND' variant for both, If both are success then trigger the process chain.

Back ground processes, dialogue processes and Process chains

Hai all,
I am going through making process chains and I am struck with one thing:
"How many background process chains and dialogue processes you have during run time"
This is the problem. I understood everything else except this.The concept says that I have to know what is the capacity of the system, how many background and dialogue processes it could accomodate, how many are left and how many you can use for your process chain.How do we find out this? and could somebody please explain me or refer to documentation about the Back ground processes, dialogue processes and Process chains.
Thanks.

Hi Visu,
You can see the number of dialog and background processes by using transaction SM51 and then double clicking on the server (we only have one but it may be different for each). Our BASIS folks take care of the number of processes as well. And, for us we have a schedule that changes the number at a certain time of day because you tend to need more dialog during the day but more batch at night.
The transaction to look at and change the settings is RZ03. Then use the menu path Edit->Operation Modes you can select either Configuration or Timetable here. Both give information in different ways. I tend to double click around to see what it might tell me.
I hope this helps a bit,
Diane

Reporting Agent and Download Scheduler

Hello All,
    I have an issue with the Reporting Agent and Download scheduler. I am on BW 3.5. I am not familiar with the setup myself (I inherited it), and I would like some basic information.
   Essentially it was working fine until we added some new settings. Now, the Download Scheduler freezes mid-run - just stops - and I am guessing this has to do with the new settings that were created (not by me - again, I just inherited all this).
   Any help, suggestions, links to white papers (Google was NOT helpful) anything at all on this ancient technology would be appreciated.
   Thanks.

Differences Between Infopackage Groups and Process chains

Hi All,
Can anybody explain me what are the differences between Infopackage Groups and Process Chains ? And how process chains are more comfortable

hi nagarjuna,
An InfoPackage group is a collection of InfoPackages. In order to summarize data requests which logically belong together from a business point of view, and to therefore simplify the request, you can collect data requests (meaning the InfoPackages) into an InfoPackage Group. You can schedule each of these groups in the scheduler . With the data request the scheduler can access InfoPackage groups directly and thereby request more than one InfoPackage at a time, corresponding to the setting in the InfoPackage group. Thus, you can support InfoPackage groups with the serialization of your data requests.
While a process chain is a sequence of processes that wait in the background for an event. Some of these processes trigger a separate event that can start other processes in turn. hit this link to know abt PCs:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/8f/c08b3baaa59649e10000000a11402f/content.htm
Process chains are more comfortable becoz itz not like infopackages where we have to schedule each pack individually. And in PCs, monitoring is very convenient since u see evrything in a single page.

Questions on Multiprovider and Process Chain

Hai All,
          I have two questions. One on Multiprovider and the other on Process chain.
1. Multiprovider:
          For example, I have 2 ODSs. ODS1 has Objects ORDER NUMBER, COUNTRY and PRODUCT, ODS2 has objects ORDER NUMBER, DELIVERY STATUS, CREATION DATE.
Now if I make a multiprovider on ODS1 and ODS2, then as ORDER NUMBER is common in both the ODSs, can I make a report like this:
ORDER NUMBER - DELIVERY STATUS, CREATION DATE?
         I have a problem here bacuase its not getting those details from the other ODS even though the ORDER NUMBER(value) is same. Am I making nay mistake or is it a system problem.
I beleive thats how a Multiprovider works.
2. Process chain:
                I have an END connector in my process chain that connects 3 processes and lets the following task start only after the success of all the above 3 processes.
The system is displaying the END connector seperately under each process. But the name and everything else is same. Is this a setting somewhere in the process chain?
Thank you.

Hi,
1. Those fields are in ODS2, you don't need to make a multiprovider.
2. You mean an AND connector. Maybe you need to refresh the screen. if this doesn't work, delete the three and connectors and insert a new one.
Hope this helps.
Regards,
Diego

Urgent Issue - Copy DTP and Process Chains in New Client Instance

We have created new client Instance ( CLNT 510 ) based on our present client ( CLNT 500 ).
We have all the process changes, application components from source system CLNT 500 and data ( both for master and transaction data ) in place for the CLNT 500.
Now we need to use the CLNT 510 for our futher development. RFC connection has been established.
Just want to know, do we need to create all the Application component trasfer , Transformation, DTP , Infopackages , Process chains again for the CLNT 510 data.
please help.
Thanks and Kind Regards,
Pratap Gade.

Hello Jr Roberto,
Hello Jr Roberto,
We have company implementing mutiple SAP Implementations in different countries.
Client for BW Dev is 400.
Source system for Client BWD :
ECC Client ERP Dev - 500 ( for Holland Implementation )
ECC Client EPR Dev - 510 ( for German Implementation - Instance of ECC 500)
We are completed with the Client 500 implementation.
We are starting the german implementation and they have created a intance of Holland ECC Dev client 500 for german implementation with german data.
Now they have setup 2 rfc connection in BWD 400.
Also finally when they move to QAS client they are going to integrate the data of the both countries into one client.
Presenlty I need to use ECC client 510 client for our german development.
We have around 40 SAP BI reports in our first implementation. and around 10 in our second implementation.
Just want to know, what are issues to be considered in loading master data ( will it overwrite the master data from the client 500, if i extract the master data from client 510 )...and all the other issues like can I copy all the process chains...etc from client ECC 500 to ECC 510, without creating all transformation, DTP , Infopackages to load all the master from client 510 again.
I need a broad understand on how to go about the development ...starting with Application Components transfer from source system Client 510 ....to report development. ( if possible using the already created objects....infopackages , DTP etc..)
your help would be really appricated Mr Roberto.
Thanks and Kind Regards,
Shekar.

WAD IP and process chains

Hallo Experts,
is it possible to use a SAP BI IP Query in the We (WAD Template) with the following option:
The user will give in his data and save the data.
After finishing this he will give free this version (0calyear, 0costcenter).
The "give free" process should start a process chain. This process chain should load the data from layer 0 into the reporting layer.
Can someone help us?
Thank you very much. The given free process already works with a new function type.
Santra

Sorry, i try it again.
We build a planing application in the Web. The user will plan there own costcenter.
Therefore we have a version - concept.
E.g.:
costcenter 4711, planing year 2009, Version 1.
The user will give in the data. After finishing the planing session. The user pushed the button:
version give free:
The button is build with the WAD and use a IP planing function (new function type). The status of the version will change from (in process to given free).
The button should also start the process chain. The data for this planting session (year 2009, costcenter 4711, Version 1) should automatically be louded to the next InfoCube = reporting InfoCube .
Now clear?
Thanks Santra

Data Manager Packeage and Process chain si not working

Hi All,
I executed a data manager package which contain a process chain to revaluate the one of my Account dimension meneber Say "Revenue". I am working on BPC NW 7.0
steps I followed:
1. I created a script logic file and created a custom process chain.
process chain steps:
a) Start variant
b) Modify dynamically
c) Run Logic
d) Or and Clear BPC tables
2. This process chain was included in data manager package.
3. Data manager package was modyfied to include parameters and scipt logic file name.
4. executed data package
The issue is " when I execute Data manager Package" I dont get any error but when I View status I dont see any pachage running or completed. If I see Process chain, It is failing at first step of Modify dynamically..no clue?
Could you please let me know what could be a issue?
Cheers,
SAC

I encounter this problem, Do this Steps:
I. First,check if your process chain is existing in the Library.
II.If yes,follow the steps below:
1. Edata - organize Package - Modify your Package.
2.Check if you had the correct process chain.
3.IF yes, Click View package at its right side.
4.Expand the Task Folder and take note of the Task Name (e.g. ZBPC_PROT_RUN_LOGIC)
5.click Advance,Compare the task name that you noted in the syntax TASKS
(e.g. TASK(ZBPC_PROT_CF_RUN_LOGIC,SUSER,%USER%)
6. It should be the same.
Running package but not appearing any status happens when the system cannot find your process chain.
hope this helps,

Delta loading and Process chain BI

Hi experts,
Two Issues.
1)As i am loading FI data into dso through a process chain which includes Start process>Delta infopackage(which gets data upto psa)>Delta dtp-->Datastore activation.
But infopackage is picking up deltas but DTP is picking up all the previous records plus deltas.
100 records -- 1st day throught Intialization of Delta with Data Transfer
2 delta records -- 2nd day
But DTP is picking up 102 Records on the 2nd Day, which means it is also picking the old records as well.
The DSO must have just 102 records but it is having 202 records.
2) A process chain in running daily as scheduled , but I rescheduled with new scheduling options without deactivating the Process chain.
My Question is
Will the Process chain run for the OLD and the New Schedule or
Is it going to run for new schedule or old one?
or
will I face any Problem because I did not deactivate and made changes to the Change.
Please help me in this matter.
Thanks in advance.
Bhadri.

First query:
I believe that u have used FUll update type DTP is instead of the Delta DTP.. Please cross check the Update mode of the DTP once.
To resolve this issue, delete the total content of the DSO as u have Init and delta loads in PSA. And then using the Delta DTP of the Process chain, load the data. It will extract the total cotent what ever is there in PSA, and later the same DTP will act as the Delta type and will pick the data from the New request of the PSA.
Second Query:
Its always suggested to deschedule the process chain before changing the schedule timings. When ever u do this type of scheduling, just check how many number of JObs available in Schedule mode, if u can see more than one, then delete the older one and keep the new one as it is.
But I always suggest you to deschedule the process chain and reschedule PC with the new timings and then activate the same.
Thanks

BIA and process chain

Hi Gurus
Would you please advise the steps I have to follow on BW side to make BIA starts working?
Can I use process chain to include the functionality of BIA? Also as I know we have to create one Index per cube for BIA. Do we need to fill them manually of when we load cube its going to be filled in automatically?
Do we need to delete the BIA index and recreate it when we load data to the same cube again?
Do we need to do some settings on BEx analyser for query which we run to execute through BIA?
Appreciate your quick reply..Thanks for the help
Thanks

1)if you drop the InfoCube the BIA index should be dropped automatically.
This means you have to re-build the InfoCube BIA index.
Process type -Initial Activation and Filling of BIA Indexes can be used as of SP-13.
2)Program - RSDDTREX_AGGREGATES_FILL
When you execute this step, the system starts a process in the background that reads the data in the tables of the InfoCube star schema from the database and writes them to the corresponding indexes on the BI accelerator server. If the index of a master data table (S/X/Y tables) has already been created and filled by another BI accelerator index, only those records that have been subsequently added have to be indexed (read mode/fill mode "D" during indexing).
If the aggregate was filled successfully, the status in the "Object Status" column on the Index Info tab page switches to GREEN

Infopackage and process chain status

Hello expert,
I am new in BW technology and I need some help...
Well I have created a process chain in order to load data into infoprovider. This process chain is running everyday in production system, (it's a tipical PC: delete PSA request, run infopackage, run DTP....)
I have checked the last status of the process chain and it's yellow since two days ago... It was due a communication error between ERP and BW system, therefore (for some reason), the infopackages started but never ended (always yellow status).
So, my questions are:
1.- Is there any configuration for the infopackage to prevent yellow status (for more than X time)?
2.- Could we control it in a process chain?
Thank you and best regards

Hi,
We can configure for infopackage incase of no records found however you can setup for time linmit.
You can set the status the request is to receive per InfoPackage in the Scheduler, via Scheduler Warning Handling. This setting overrides the system-wide setting.
