Restart the meta chain?

Hi
I have one failed metachain due to one of the local chain(0BPartner_attr) load fails . I have done manually that local completely. I want to trigger the Metachain again with out running that particular local chain.. How to do that..
Thanks,Sudha

Hi...
Go to RSPC1 >> Give the technical name of your chain >> here it will open in the display mode....here in the top where we write tcode writeCOPY............then your chain will be copied......remove the start process and create a new one.....then remove the said local chain.............then activate the PC...............and take immediate run.............after completion of the chain...............delete the PC..........Go to RSPC1 >> in the top Process Chain tab >> delete........or press Shift+F2
Hope this helps you.........

Hi,
u can restart the process chain thru function module also :
Fucntion module : RSPC_API_CHAIN_RESTART
Also chk this link :

How can i find the meta chain name?

My process chains are running based on meta chain option,So how can i find the meta chain name???

Hello
Goto SE16
Table RSPCCHAIN
ut u r local chain name as varient and exe
similerly goback if the chain you get is also a local chain....Until you get only one chain...
Where Used List --
RSPCPROCESSLOG table
You can see the Process Logs at SM37 too based on the Technical name of the Chain you can trace the Meta chian
Thanks

Stopping local chain from the meta chain

Hi ,
Can any one let me know is there any option to stop a local chain from the meta chain....
I have a meta chain in which 13 local chains are there.
In those 13 chains i want to stop one particular chain ,but i dont want to delete that local chain from the meta chain.
and below this local chain another dependent chain is also there.
which will start execute after that chain(which i want to delete)irrespective of the status whether the above chain is pass or fail.
can any one help me in this regards
Thanks in advance.

No, you cannot . The best solution I have is to change the local chain to bypass all activity in the local chain. This way the meta chain will run but nothing will happen within the local chain and the meta chain will continue to the next local chain.
Hope this helps.
PS- Another idea, change the meta chain and replace the local chain with an ABAP program which will execute the local chain (use FM RSPC_CHAIN_START). Then you can change the ABAP program to decide whether or not to execute the local chain.

Actually, you might be able to do something creative using "Decision Between Multiple Alternatives".

Function module used to restart the process chain in the middle?

Hi all,
can anyone pls let me know the function module to restart the process chain in the middle of the process chain?
I need to run the process chain from the middle which can be done through a function module can anyone pls let me know!!
Thanks
pooja

what exactly your requirement is?
You can't trigger the process in the middle either it should be trigger by start variant or it's predessor.
If your chain failed in the middle - you can fix the prob and can do 'Repeat' option or you can also use FM 'RSPC_PROCESS_FINISH . (this FM will work only if the chain fails)

How to identify the meta chain in which the Process Chain is used

Hi,
   I had a Process Chain which is designed to Load Transaction Data.
   This process chain is scheduled to start as a part of Meta Chain...
   How can i locate that META chain in which this Process Chain is used
Thanks

Hi
There is no where used list for Process chain, but you can check it in table RSPCCHAIN.
Give details as below:
Version is 'A'.
Process Type is 'CHAIN'.
Process Variants = 'enter technical name of the local chain'.
now hit execute button.
You can see the list of process chains under Chain ID column.

Meta Chain Issue

Hi All,
I have some meta chains in the process chain and all of the meta chains are triggered using-
"Start using Meta Chain or API"
Its evident that, once we triggerr the start varinat in the main chain the rest of meta chains get triggered. In our case one particular meta chain is not getting triggered at all. But the rest have gone fine. In the process chain Log view, its staying in yellow for a long time and in SM37, the job is getting cancelled.
the message I got in Log view, at the time the meta chain gets triggered is, "Process chain variant is ZA******** is not scheduled waiting for event RSPROCESS 4A******"
I have tried all the possibilities of "Repeat, Kill the process in SM51"
Can you please advise, the solution for this.
Thanks in advance,
Cheers,

hi,
right click on that meta chain yu will reach the planning view there in change selcetion icon .. you set the setting to immediate and remove the tick for perodic and then schedule it ..
hope this helps you ..
regards,
Shikha

Warning Error message while scheduling the Process Chain

Dear All,
I have created the meta Chain, which contains 7 Local Chains. I have tested this chain in BI Development and Quality. It was working fine. I have moved this Meta Chain to production. While i am trying to schedule this chain, i got the warning message.
Too many parallel processes for chosen server BICI
Message no. RSPC118
Diagnosis
On the server TVSBICI you have chosen, there are only 0 batch processes available. The process chain has been designed in such as way that 3 processes must be processed parallel.
System Response
Only 0 processes can be processed parallel. Note also that to be able to start sub-chains, AT LEAST TWO free batch processes must be available. Otherwise a lock situation may arise.
For more information, see SAP Note 621400.
Procedure
Reduce the number of parallel processes in the chain or include sub- chains. This warning applies to all relevant processes.
Procedure for System Administration
Increase the number of batch processes available. You should note however that it makes no sense to set up more batch processes than there are CPUs on server BICI.
Pls help on this issue.
Thanks,
Siva.

I have Ignored this warning and now process Chain is working fine.
Thanks,

Query regarding meta chain in SAP BI

Hi can any body solve the problem on this Meta chain in SAP BI..
There is a meta chain which holds three process chains say N1,N2,N3. in a sequential order.
Now here as soon as the meta chain is triggered the process chain N1 is executed properly and is is in green..but after this the next process chain N2 is not getting triggered..can anybody tell me the reason for that??

check the start parameter of 2nd chain
it should be immediate

Restart/resubmit job chain waiting of a file event

Hi Experts,
how can I restart/resubmit a job chain waiting of a file event?
In my case the variables OriginalPath and FinalPath are used in job chain parameters as an Default Expression (waitEvents...). If I restart the job chain I get the message "Could not evaluate default value for parameter...".
We are using SAP-CPS Build M28.20-37214.
Regards
Mathias

Hi,
You probably want to restart it because there was a failure somewhere in the chain. In this case it is easier to not let the chain end in error, but to let it go to status Console using the "Request Restart" postcondition.
Then when the step is restarted, or the chain is restarted from the beginning, it is restarted within the original chain and it reuses the already determined parameter values.

Anton.

Failed meta chain maintenance in Process chain in SAP BI

Hi all,
I have a Process chain having the meta chain of master data population.When successful , proceeds with the further steps in process chain. It has been scheduled in midnight.
After monitoring the PC , found the error in the master meta chain , so i repeat the step.
Here , after success of meta chain all steps gets running down the line till the end step in PC.
I do not want to re-run the steps below meta chain after repeat step.
Any Ideas to ignore the re-run ??

Hi,
If your Process is still running(Yellow color status) then right click it and go to Schduled Jobs. On this you will go to Job Overview there you can press STOP.
Else go to the SM37, there you can go and select your process using your process ID and STOP it.
And if you want to kill the complete process chain then go for Remove from Schedule.
Different Ways to stop process chain
1)SM37 -->Kill Job
2)SM50/sm66- ->Kill process
3)RSPC>Job Log>Make the process RED forecefully.
4)RSPC>Process chain> main Menu"Remove from Scheduling" OR
5)se37-->RSPC_API_CHAIN_INTERRUPT
give RFC BW system name(technical) and process chain name(technical)
Steps 1 -3 stops the chain running in process
Steps 4-5 stops the chain AFTER the current job which is running is completed as sucessful or Failure by nature.
Hope this helps you.

Local chain, Meta chain, and Remote chain

Hi,
Can any one explain me what exactly is the difference among the process chains?
Meta chain is a process chain that calls the other process chain
Local chain is the PC included in any other Process types?
Cannot differentiate Local and meta chaisn now !
same is the case with remote process chains
Raj

Hi,
Metachain is a process chain, for which you determine this start condition, that is fixed to another process chain. The process chain is started directly by this metachain.If you start the start process using a metachain, it is not scheduled after you have activated the related process chain. The process chain is only started when the metachain, to which it is linked, is running. rocess chains can be scheduled as processes in additional process chains, which are known as meta chains. If the process chain you want to execute is in another system, use the process type Process Chain Remote, called remote process chain in the following. A remote process chain is a local process in the calling system that calls a process chain in this system, using a destination in another system, that is to be executed there. The remote process chain communicates with the other system and synchronously starts the executed process chain. After terminating the process chain in another system, this is reported back to the meta chain in the calling system. sing a remote process chain as the process of a metachain, you can schedule a process chain from another system in a process chain of the calling system.
Using a remote process chain as the process of a metachain, you can schedule a process chain from another system in a process chain of the calling system. In addition to remote process chains, you can also schedule local process chains as processes in a metachain. A local process chain consists of processes that are scheduled in the same system as the metachain. You schedule it as a process in the same system as the metachain.

User wants to schedule the process chain - what is the best practice

I posted earler and got the anwser.
Create a custom ABAP program that calls the RSPC_API_CHAIN_START Function Module, with a selection for the Process Chain where your user can enter the Meta Chain name to start the process.
To make it simpler for the user to execute this, create a custom tcode for them in SE93, so that they logon to your BW environment, call up that tcode, enter the Meta Chain name and execute. With this, they wouldn't have to have access to RSPC.
I did the above and the user not able to execute it since he doesn't have access to the cube/dso to update the cube.
To overcome this I wrote another abap program and used the
SUBMIt program user ALEREMOTE
and there is a problem.I called the process chain start program using ALEREMOTE .
Now the user needs access to authorization object S_BTCH_NAM and authorization field BTCUNAME with value ALEREMOTE.
So again due to SOX the basis doesn't want to give the necessary access.
What is the best solution.
How in general if the user needs to execute the process chain how they do it.
Please let me know. Thanks for your help in advance.
Senthil

Hi Senthil
In general production scenerio, we do not run process chain manually. To execute a process chain you should have necessary authorization. As you have assigned alertmote in the start variant, any user other thatn that will not be able to trigger the same.
Instead of alertmote , use the nornal start variant to trigger the process chain and give the user the normal authorization. Whenever user wants to run the infopackage manually or via process chain they should have the auth to view the infoprovider content as well....

Transport collection for meta chain

Hi all,
I had a meta chain which carries 4 master chains.
now we made change in the order ( before order 1-2-3-4 changed order 1-3-4-2) of the 4 master chains in the Meta chain.
collected the meta chain and transported to test system but the changes are not reflecting in Test system.
could any one please tell, what are all i need to collect to transport the meta chain with new chains.
regards
sandy

Hi,
You only needed to collect the meta chain and not the other one's, if your transport was successfull then simply goto your target system open the chain in change mode and you will see the changes. Simply activate that chain and it'll be perfect.

Local Chain Multiple times in a Meta Chain

Hi,
I have a scenario in which I have to call the same local chain multiple times in a Meta Chain.
The system is not allowing me to add the same local chain in my meta chain more than two times.
System is throwing the below message:
Diagnosis
The link that you made between process CHAIN ZREBATE_LOAD and process CHAIN ZREBATE_LOAD is a reverse connection, because process CHAIN ZREBATE_LOAD already precedes CHAIN ZREBATE_LOAD in the chain.
System response
This kind of connection is not supported.
Procedure
Schedule a copy of process CHAIN ZREBATE_LOAD behind CHAIN ZREBATE_LOAD.
Can anyone tell if there is a way to call the same local chain multiple times in a meta chain WITHOUT making a copy of the local Chain?
I understand that if I make a copy of my local chain it will allow me to add it multiple times in the meta chain.
Useful tips will be awarded by points.
Thanks,
AT

Hi Siggi,
I did not know that promising points is against the rules..Sorry about that.
It is just that I see every other thread has that line at the bottom (unfortunately never saw anyone get a bashing on that)....will keep it in mind.
Well, coming to what I am trying to achieve...here is the scenario:
I have a chain where a table is being read and the data gets loaded for the quarter date in that table (table has quarter dates in it e.g.: 01012007 to 03312007). At one point the table has ONLY one entry for one quarter.
Now, the requirement is to load data data for two years (i.e. 8 quarters).
In order to automate, I have written a small program to update that table with the dates of next quarter. I have added this program as the last step in my chain.
Now, I have created a meta chain in which I want to call my local chain (8 times) so that all the quarters get loaded automaticaly.
I am able to call my local chain 2 times in the meta chain and it works exactly the way I want it to run. However, system is not letting me add my local chain more than 2 times.
I am getting the message that I mentioned in my thread.
I understand that if I make 8 copies of my local chain, the system will allow me to add those 8 chains in my meta chain.
My question is if there is a way to add a local chain multiple times (say 8 times) in the same meta chain WITHOUT making copies of the local chain.
Thanks very much.
