Running time for group process chain

Hello Gurus,
in our system, a group process chain includes a lot of process chains, after the whole group process chain runs through , how can I check how long it takes for the whole group process run?
Many thanks.

Hi,
right click on start process of your meta chain..
there you can find the start time of your meta chain.take that as A.
go to last process of the chain and right click and take that time as B.
The difference between the two times is your total meta chain runtime.
hope this is clear for you.

Assign a server group as the background server for a process chain

Dear Experts,
Can I assign a server group as the background server for a process chain?
Even I assign a server group as the background server for a process chain by following T-cd: RSPC > W click a process chain > (Menu) Process Chain > Attributes > Background server and save & activate the process chain, no entry was saved in the column in RSPCCHAINATTR-SERVER with OBJVERS = "A".
Moreover, it seems that there is no process type for a process chain as a whole in T-cd: RSBATCH, so I assume that I may not be able to assign a server group to a process chain as a whole...
I know I can assign a server group as the background server for each process in a process chain.
Many thanks for your suggestions.

On many UNIX systems there's a utility called detach which will launch the following command in such a manner that killing the shell will not kill the process. On systems that lack this command, I'd find an open source implementation and install it.

Any ideas on this plan for a process chain?

Hi,
I have 6 ODSes. I load these on a daily basis with 6 different flat files. ODS1, ODS2 and ODS3 needs to be loaded first before ODS4, ODS5, ODS6.
Once all six ODSes are loaded, they are then aggregated based on some two key fields to and loaded into a cube. Npw I want to automate the process.
Can you please check if my plan for the process chain is right:
1. Start Process:
direct Scheduling
Change Selections:
Start date & Time
Period Jobs: check
Periodic Values: Daily
Restrictions: Always execute job
2. Indexes:(this flows into the first 3 ODSes)
Delete indexes
3. Load Data:
Load Data ODS1
Load Data ODS2
Load Data ODS3
4. Activate ODS1
5. Activate ODS2
6. Activate ODS3
(? What do I setup here so that the following will be loaded only if ODS1, ODS2 and ODS3 are successful)
7.Load Data
Load Data ODS4
Load Data ODS5
Load Data ODS6
8.Delete Indexes
9. Load Data
Load data from ODS1, ODS2, ODS3, ODS4, ODS5, ODS6 to the CUBE
10.Activate Cube (?Needs to activate cube? Is there a process type like that of activate ODS)
11. Create Index (Hm, will the Delete and create indexes in this plan take apply to both ODS and Cube)
Thanks, I will lovr to get hint from you. How do I factor in PSA? i.e. To always go to PSA then to ODS and Cube?

Hi,
1.Start the process.(as per your requirement)
2. Load the data to ODS in parallel (ODS1 , ODS2 & ODS 3)
3. Activate the three ODS , with separate ODS activation process type.
4.Put an AND condition
5. load data to ODS4 ,5 and 6
6. Activate ods4 ,5, & 6.
7. delete index for cube
8. load different data from ods to cube
9. create index.
                start
load ODS1 -- Load oDS2 -- Load ods 3
Activate ODS1 - Activate oDS2 - Activate ODS3
                 AND (process)
Load oDS4      load ods5    load ODS 6
Activate oDS4 Activate ODS5 Activate ODS 6
                 AND
          Delete the index
           Load data from different ODS to cube
            Create Index
   there is no concept of activating the cube .. it is only applicable to ods.

How to incorporate time in the Process chain messages

Hi,
I would like to create message after success or failure of process chain with time of failure in the subject.How to put system variable in the message subject?.
Your help will be appreciated.
thanks in advance.
Manju

raj,
thanks for your quick reply but i would like to incorporate the finish time in the mail subject.
for example mail subject is as follows.
"GL process chain has been finished at xx:xx time".
Here time (xx:xx) should automatically read and fill as per the finish time of the process chain.
hope now it is clear.any idea how it can be done?.

What is the default time settings in Process chains

Hi,
What is the default time settings in Process chains.
How to set time settings for daily,weekly,monthly loads in Process chains.
What is the time settings that we have to take care when creating meta chains.
Thanks,
Madhu.

Hi Madhu,
The Time settings for any PC is done in the start variant of the PC. There is nothing like default time setting. These settings are totally depended on the requirement and system performance. It is a general rule of thumb to load the data during a time when the user activity is minimum as the loading process is going to occupy many dialog as well as background WPs. So, if you schedule them at a time when there are many users on the system, they might feel that the system is slow. Hence, you decide as to what is the best time for scheduling a PC. The same applies to meta chain also. In case of meta chains, you make sure the dependencies of the local chains is also handled. Hope this helps.
Thanks and Regards

How to create infopackage groups & Process chains & what is the difference

Hi gurus,
please help me to create infopackage groups & Process chains & what is the difference.
please explain any realtime scenerios.
when will we choose infopackage groups & process chains
and what is the difference betweeen these two.
Thanks & Regards,
BWcheta

Cheta,
You can create the IPG with the selction of all infopackages in RSA1-Modelling Area to automate those loads automatically. That means it will trigger only those IP's which have been pooled up in that IGP...
Where as Process chain is also a automated process where you can have different process types which can be used during the load and after the load has been done.. For example in ODS once after the data has been loaded if you want to activate the data then in PC youo can insert the process type for that, but in case of IGP it will only execute your IP.
Hope it helps...

I want to know Cube,Ods,Multiproviders,infopackage groups,process chains

Hi all,
1.how to make techinical specifications Cube,Ods,Multiproviders,infopackage groups,process chains.
2.how to decide the size of the cube.
3.what is the default size& what is the max size & In the case of ods.
4.performance wise which is best multiprovider or cube.
5.why cube is best (performance wise) for cube over ods.
6.What is max no of chars & keyfigures can insert in ods.
7.Is sid concept exists for ods.if yes when they generate.
Thanks
cheta.

Hi
1.From functional specification requirements,find out the datasources by using business content check(offline) or using Metadata repository(online), u need to have TREX installed in ur system.Do the GAP Analysis and note down the objects which are not in business content and create Z objects(Datasources,ODS or Infobjects,Cubes). Draw the bubble diagram and derrive ER diagram from it and finally do logical information model(cube model) and decide what u need in data flow.
2.You have a quick sizer in market place which can help you to decide the sizing of BI project.Take care of trade-off's between line item dimensions and normal dimension which have large impact on ur sizing.
3.There is no such default sizing,depends on ur reporting requirements whether u need detailed reporting or snap shot reporting.
4.There is no trade-off's between multiprovider and Cube regarding performance.From performance point of view we have to consider other factors such as aggregates,Indexing,Partitioning etc..
6.The Max number of Keyfields are 16 and data fields are 749.
7.Yes SID's are created for ODS when you check the flag for BEX Reporting.
Thanks

The running time for Crack

Hi there,
I started testing Crack 5.0 (to guess those weak user passwords in our system) last Wed and I found it stopped today. However, I need know exact running time(elapsed time) for my testing. To run Crack 5.0, I just run "./Crack passwordfile" as root. Crack will automatically run on background and returns to Unix prompt. So using time command doesn't work here. Is there any system log file I can check for the exact running time of Crack process or any other place I can get this info?
Thank you very much!

Unless crack creates a log, then there really isn't anything that collects this data by default. You might be able to get it from system accounting assuming its enabled.

How to change the view criteria at run time for af:query

Hi,
I've a usecase where I need to change the view criteria of the af:query at run time.
Use case:
=======
1) Consider a check box (Show Emps Under Dept 10) in the query panel when user selects and clicks 'Search' button should show the employees under dept 10. If user searches without selecting the check box, the results should show all the employees in all the departments.
2) I need to have a check box always in the query panel. Its mandatory.
The way I implemented:
==============
1) Created a transient variable 'Show Emps Under Dept 10' in the EmployeeVO and also created a bind variable bind_DeptNo.
2) Create a view criteria 'AllEmployees' which has only the transient attribute as the view criteria item and whose value set to 'false' by default.
3) Created another view criteria 'EmpUnderDept' which has 'DepartmentId' as the view criteria item and whose value set to the bind variable 'bind_DeptNo'.
4) Dropped the view criteria 'EmpUnderDept' as the 'af:query' panel in the jspx page.
5) Overridden the queryListener as '#{EmpBean.empSearch}'
6) Has the below code in the empSearch method as below. When user selects the check box, applying the other criteria 'EmpUnderDept' and setting the bind variable to '10'.
public void empSearch(QueryEvent queryEvent) {
// Add event code here...
QueryDescriptor queryDesc = (QueryDescriptor) queryEvent.getDescriptor();
ConjunctionCriterion conCrit = queryDesc.getConjunctionCriterion();
List<Criterion> criterionList = conCrit.getCriterionList();
List criterionValues = new ArrayList();
Object criteriaValue = null;
int criteriaNo = 0;
DCBindingContainer bc = (DCBindingContainer)BindingContext.getCurrent().getCurrentBindingsEntry();
FacesContext facesContext = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance();
for (Criterion criterion : criterionList) {
AttributeDescriptor attrDescriptor = ((AttributeCriterion)criterion).getAttribute();
System.out.println("============== attrDescriptor.getName() =================== " + attrDescriptor.getName());
criteriaValue = ((AttributeCriterion)criterion).getValues().get(0);
if(criteriaNo==0) {
Boolean val = (Boolean) ((AttributeCriterion)criterion).getValues().get(0);
if (val.equals(true)) {
OperationBinding method = (OperationBinding) ADFUtil.findOperation("ExecuteWithParams");
if(method!=null) {
Map params = method.getParamsMap();
//params.put(key, value)
method.getParamsMap().put("bind_DeptId", 10L);
method.execute();
ADFUtil.invokeMethodExpression( "#{bindings.EmpUnderDeptCriteiaQuery.processQuery}", queryEvent);
} else {
//ADFUtil.invokeEL("#{bindings.ExecuteWithParams.execute}");
ADFUtil.invokeMethodExpression( "#{bindings.AllEmployeesCriteriaQuery.processQuery}", queryEvent);
But this approach is not working and its always showing all the employees in all the departments.
Please let me know if there is a way to change the view criteria at run time depending on the values set at run time for one of the view criteria items.
JDev version am using is '11.1.1.5'
Thanks,
Lakshman

Hi Shay,
It worked for me without overriding the executeQuery() method in the ViewImpl.java.
Instead of creating 2 view criteria, I created only one which has both transient variable and the DepartmentId = <bind_DeptId>. With the above code, it worked properly. Now I am using only one view criteria.
Thank you.

Program is not sending emails if I run it within the process chain

Hi All,
I am facing a weird issue; I have an ABAP program which compares tables and sends the results in an email. It is working fine if I run it standalone. However, if I run it within the process chain it still runs but doesn't send the email.
Any idea on how to troubleshoot this?
Thanks

maybe because it's ran under a different user (ALEREMOTE)?
the user that executes the "mail" needs a valid emailaddress to be able to send...

Run time for a Report

Hi All,
I have a requirement, where in i want to know whether my report has run for 8 mins or not. If it has run for 8 mins then i have to give an information message saying that the report is taking more than 8 mins so schedule the program in back ground.
Is this possible ?
Please let me know how to know during run time the time taken by a report.
Regards
Rakesh.

Hi Dominic,
The code you mentioned can be put to know what is the time taken by a select statement or the time taken by a particular piece of code. In my program there are several select queries and complex logics.. So i dont think that it is feesible to calculate the run time for each select and then if its increasing 8 mins then to show error !!!!
My report will be called from an external application. If the program is taking much time it will get timed out. So for a precaution we have to tell them that the way you have given the selection screen filter values its going to take more than 8 mins so better schedule a back ground job.

Implementing a custom process type for a process chain

I have created a custom process type for a process chain that allows a user to send back a failure or error status when calling an ABAP program. I copied the class that is used from the existing ABAP process type as a template.
The process type works fine, I just cannot find out how to recreate the documentation for my custom type using free text. When you maintain the process type there is a field for the documentation object, but I can't find where in SAP to implement this.
I have tried looking at the document maintenance using SE61 and looking into the class documentation from SE24 with no success. The only detail that is provided in the SAP help portal is:
"If necessary, assign a documentation type and a docu. object to the process type. The docu object can be called up via F1 in the process chain maintenance overview tree. "
Does anyone out there have any experience with this that can push me in the right direction?
Thanks,
Eddie

You can create and maintain system documentation from transaction SE61. This is how you would create documentation for a process type or if you wanted to create a book. <a href="http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/a4/d47df949e111d189730000e8322d00/frameset.htm">more info</a>
Here are the steps to make your documentation similar to that used for the ABAP process type:
From transaction SE61:
-Create a document of type TX (either from scratch or by copying RSPC_ABAP which is used for the SAP-delivered ABAP process type)
-Make any changes you need. I suggest downloading the document in ITF format and make the changes in a basic text editor and then uploading your changed document. It's a little easier to tell what is going on that way.
Now on to transaction RSPC.
Once you save your changes, go to RSPC and select on any chain you have to get into the "plan and check views of process chain maintenance." Then just go to Settings -> Maintain Process Types.
From here you can select your process type, select TX from the document type dropdown, and then enter the name of your document in the docu. object field.
Hope that helps.

At what scenario we go for copy process chain??

At what scenario we go for copy process chain??

Hi,
Letu2019s say you are doing regular monitoring of a process chain. One fine day this process chain gets failed due to some reason on one of steps. And say there are 10 more steps still to be executed.
You fixed the error by performing some manual activity which was actually next steps of process chain where it failed.
Now you can not do repeat/repair in process chain because you have already performed them but you want remaining steps to be executed automatically not manually.
What you can do is copy chain with only required steps in it remove remaining steps.

Editing the display time for grouped objects

Hello, I am having issues editing the display time for grouped items. I am using Captivate 7 and I love how now the grouped items only show as one item in the timeline because it reduces the number of rows visiblein the timeline for each object on a slide. However, now that the grouped objects no longer individually appear in the timeline, I can't make any display adjustments to the grouped objects as a whole.
Has anyone else had this issue and is there a work around? My main issue is that if I have to extend or shorten the audio for the slide, and I have assigned an advanced action to the grouped object, in order to adjust the grouped object to match the audio, I have to now ungroup, make the adjustment, regroup, then reset the advanced action using the new group name. It is frustrating and time consuming.

To expand and view the grouped items on the timeline, you need to click the Arrow symbol next to the group name. Once you expand, you can select the individual object and adjust the timings.
Alternatively, you can select the individual object of the group on the slide and adjust the timings from the Timing accordion. You can do this without ungrouping.

Run time for a query

Hello all,
Can you please tell me how can I see the total running time for a query?
What other transactions besides ST03 and RSRT with statistics on?
Points will be assigned
Thanks
Ramona

Hi........
You can use ST03N -> BW System Load
Depending on the time frame you select, you get historical data or
current data.
To get to a specific query you need to drill down using the InfoCube
name
Use Aggregation Query to get more runtime information about a
single query. Use tab All data to get to the details.
(DB, OLAP, and Frontend time, plus Select/ Transferred records,
plus number of cells and formats)
Also You can get it in RSRT,RSRTQ...
