Running a custom process chain from BPC

Hi,
I have created a process chain in BW to load masterdata from a BW infoobject to a BPC infoobject. Is it possible to run this process chain using the data manager in BPC ? Do I have to add any BPC process types to the chain in order to make it work ?
Thanks in advance ...

There is no 'official' documentaton available. What I stated before is just the results of communcation with our SAP Executives ... ramp-up will start on begin december, release expected around end Q2 2010 (depending on ramp-up projects). About content of new functionality: to be expected:
- better integration BW: DM package for loading of master data from BW, multiple selection options in transformationfile, business process flows and drill though.
as I said, to be expected, since not official yet ...
hope this answers your question

Error when run Process Chain via BPC NW

Hi Gurus,
I am implementing SAP BPC 7.5 NW in a customer and I´m facing the following error when try to run a process chain via Data Manager: "Failed to analyze instruction ,TAB,%TAB% ".
Here is the scenario: we created a process chain that will be able to capture values recorded in a BPC application, load them into an DSO (make some transformations there) and finally send those transformed values to an specific table at ECC. This process will be started after some simulations at BPC and, when the user ends its simulation, start this process chain via BPC; this process chain is named as PC_ECC.
We made a copy of /CPMB/DEFAULT_FORMULAS and named it PC_FORMULA and, before step /CPMB/CLEAR, I assigned my process chain PC_ECC.
So, at Data Manager, I add this process chain (PC_FORMULA) and in Advanced button, I put this statement:
INFO(%EQU%,=)
INFO(%TAB%,;)
TASK(PC_FORMULA,TAB,%TAB%)
TASK(PC_FORMULA,EQU,%EQU%)
TASK(PC_FORMULA,SUSER,%USER%)
TASK(PC_FORMULA,SAPPSET,%APPSET%)
TASK(PC_FORMULA,SAPP,%APP%)
//TASK(PC_FORMULA,LOGICFILENAME,DEFAULT.LGF)
//TASK(PC_FORMULA,REPLACEPARAM,TESTE3%EQU%%TESTE3%%TAB%ASARENT%EQU%%ASARENT%%TAB%SOURCE%EQU%%SOURCE%%TAB%TARGET%EQU%%TARGET%)
As we do not have any script logic to be executed, we commented the two last statements.
When we run this package via DM, it gives us the message error: "Failed to analyze instruction ,TAB,%TAB% "
Looking through SDN forum we found two posts similar to this issues:
But the suggestion to supress the statement TASK(PC_FORMULA,TAB,%TAB%) do not work; when we comment this statement, the message error gives us the message:"Failed to analyze instruction ,EQU,%EQU% "; when we comment the statement TASK(PC_FORMULA,EQU,%EQU%) and the previous (with TAB). the DM gives us the message: TASK(PC_FORMULA,SUSER,%SUSER%) and so on, until nothing has left to comment.
Anyone of you view or has some similar case of error?
Thanks in advance to you all
Best Regards
Adriano

Hi Rich,
Thanks for your answer.
I checked the parameter at my process chain and it has a variant (/CPMB/DEFAULT_FORMULAS_LOGIC) with the parameters:
TAB
SUSER
SELECTION
SAPPSET
REPLACEPARAM
MEMBERSELECTION
LOGICFILENAME
EQU
So, when I put in the task PC_FORMULA, TAB, %TAB%, it will be able to be recognized by the task...and the other parameters too. And when I take one of them off the task instructions, the system complains.
Any other suggestion?
Once again, thanks..a.nd best regards
Adriano

BPC 7.5 Custom Process Chain - Error Found In BPC

Hi,
I have created a custom process chain to run a BADI(Not Default) to process Actual data.
In the process chain, I have just two steps:
Start process and
Run Logic
In run logc, I have following parameters.
SUSER:     Blank
SELECTION:         Blank
SAPPSET:     ASA_APPS
SAPP:     HR
LOGICFILENAME:     PRE_BUD.LGF
I have linked to DMP and when I run the process chain, I have this error: "Error Found in BPC". I have debugged the BADI code and the code seems to be working fine. It appears that we need another step to pass the control back to BPC. Is step process type "Clear BPC tables" mandatory?
I do not need any other dynamic parameters at the moment. Do I need to give any more parameters to get this working without any errors?
Your early reponse is much appreciated.
Regards,
Venkata

Hi Nilanjan,
I have done like you have suggested.
It is working as expected but when you view status, it is ending with following error :
Error Found in BPC
Application : HR Package Status: Error
Interestingly, it is executing BADI and results in the cube.are good.
Now the parameters in run logic are:
TAB Blank
SUSER     Blank
SELECTION        Blank
SAPPSET     ASA_APPS
SAPP     HR
REPLACEPARAM Blank
MEMBERSELECTION Blank
LOGICFILENAME     PRE_BUD.LGF
EQU     Blank
I did not give any parameters in Modify dynamically process type.
Do I need to give any more parameters to avoid the error?
Any way to make the package status completed would be good.
Regards,
Venkata

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.
Hope this helps!

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.

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

Process Chain from BPS

Hi Experts!
How can I run a process chain from a BPS layout for a basic cube?
Thank you in advance

check this link

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.

Rocks

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 ?

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.

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:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/fa/096e6b543b11d1898e0000e8322d00/frameset.htm

Comapre two day run for a process chain

Hi BIs
Is there any transaction or steps to compare any two independent run of a process chain.If so please expalin me how?
thanks in advance
Bala

Hi
Goto se38.
execute program /ssa/bwt.
When you get the "Process Chain Analysis Chain"
Cleick on the Process chains button
Give the chain name in the Chain Id field
Now suppose you want to compare the runs on 5th and 11th of a month
In the start date give 5th and in the end date give 11th.
You will get the logs of all the selected dates.
Now select only the 5th and the 11th run.
Click the button Compare runtimes.
It will the comparison of runtime of each individual step in the PC.
You can comapre as many runs together as you want
Hope this helps

Calling BW Process chain from Visual Composer

Hi Gurus,
i have a question. Does anyone testet to call an ABAP program or a process chain in BW (via ABAP) through a button in visual composer?
Regards,
Adem

Hi Adem,
this is possible, you must write an RFC function module,
which calls a function module of the function group
RSSM_PROCESS.
For example you want to start a attribute change run you have to call the function module RSSM_PROCESS_ATTRIBCHANGE
from your RFC function module.
