"Save Hierarchies" step in Process chain getting failed

Hello all,
After searching thoroughly through various links / forums, i failed to get a solution. So, I am posting here.
Recently we had a system copy. After that, in Quality system - "Save all Hierarchies" step in PC is getting failed.
I ran the process chain for 3 times till now:
1) Sometimes, it fails at batch monitor itself with UNCAUGHT_EXCEPTION runtime error.
2) Sometimes, it fails saying "Error 0 when reading PSA 1" & "No hierarchy found for the selection criteria entered".
When it fails with "Error 0 when reading PSA 1", then the above Hierarchy info package which is green automatically turns RED again with Process monitor saying "No PSA tables for the selection criteria".
I also went through the below sdn links.
http://scn.sap.com/thread/278794
http://scn.sap.com/thread/1753212
Things I did:
1) Tried replicating & activating the Transfer rules and Data source.
2) Repeated the step, as suggested in one post.
3) Refreshed the OLTP hierarchies in Infopack. selections.
I have attached a screenshot of a sample Data source which says Modified, though the transfer rules are active. Also, the process chain sample.
Please let me know, if someone has faced this issue. Whatelse did I miss? Any clue.
Thanks,
Vikranth.

Hi Raman,
I couldn't retransport, but i removed it from schedule and re-activated it. But, i think the issue lies with one of the Info objects 0PROFIT_CTR.
Because, when i tried to check the hierarchy structure; there are duplicate entries for one code. Can we delete one of them? Is it preferable.
I tried using OSS and used a program RSR_REPAIR_INFOAREAHIER but this showed no errors.
Any clue?
Thanks,
VIkranth

Save Hierarchy step in process chain

Hi All,
I have a process chain which include the following steps.
Z* program([for loading multiple hierarchies |http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/index?rid=/library/uuid/e0d5c74a-8a39-2d10-2d8b-9e1971cb053a]) --> Save hierarchy --> Change run
In the above scenario, I cannot include a step for the hierarchy save/activate because the hierarchy is not being loaded in this chain through an infopackage.
And I learned from the [site|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/en/3d/320e3d89195c59e10000000a114084/content.htm], that 'Save hierarchy' has to be included after loading the hierarchial data.
So, is there any procedure for including any step in process chain for activating the hierarchial master data..?
If I want write a Z* program for activating hierarchial data, which programs/ function modules are used to activate hierarchial master data..?
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
There is an option in the infopackage used to load hierarchy -- to activate upon loading.
tick that option and remove the hierarchy name from Save hierarchy variant of the process chain.
Ticking this option will activate your hierarchy automatically after loading.No need to explicitely save it.
Hope this helps !!

Hierarchy failure in "Save hiererachies' step in process chain.

Hi,
In process chain I am getting an error stating hierarchy loaded with requestXXXXXXXXXXXXX could not be activated.
step: Save hierarchies.
even though the above step is in failure state, the chain execution gets completed with status red.
temporary solution:
we are manually turning the status to green through program(SE38- rspc_process_finish).
this happening on every time the chain has run.
any suggestions on this for a permanent fix.
thanks

Local Process chain getting failed

Hi All,
My local process chain is getting failed due to the following error.
"Job started
Step 001 started (program RSPROCESS, variant &0000000068733, user ID ALEREMOTE)
Start process CHAIN EC_EW_M_COMPLAIN_ZMTCOCR1 in run 1HN75DVW2PG2WFU98WGFIXOGV of chain EC_EW_M_TRAN_L1
Communication buffer deleted from previous run F0CDWKC96L0O0D8NQBGVHYK9R (status X)
Chain Is OK
No job found
Job cancelled after system exception ERROR_MESSAGE"
How to resolve this issue?
Thanks,
Sathya

Hi
Communication buffer deleted from previous run F0CDWKC96L0O0D8NQBGVHYK9R (status X)
This means, the previous step is completed and system should get the status as G(green), but in above system got this as X(Deleted). That's why system unable to start the next process(your local chain).
I don't think, this is an issue with background processes.
try to repeat the step once again and monitor the display messages, if you get same error again check process type before this local chain.

Skip steps in process chain if 0 records received from InfoPackage

Hi Experts,
In one business scenario, we need to change existing process chain such that if InfoPackage/DTP has brought 0 records process chain should skip rest steps or it should get failed.
Do you have any ideas about this.
Regards,

Dear Ganesh,
you can change the traffic light color for empty request in the infoPackage maintenance window. Top menu --> Scheduler --> Traffic light color for empty request.
Using this option and connecting process chain nodes correctly, process chain execution will stop whenever the infoPackage gets 0 records.
For a DTP, you can use ABAP code in the start routine of the corresponding transformation. You should check the contents of SOURCE_PACKAGE internal table and raise exception accordingly.
I hope this information helps you.
Best regards,
Nacho

Process chain Gettin failed

could any one please suggesst me how to resolve this error.
Thanks

So your PC is getting failed Immediately with shortdump?
Goto ST22>you can find the short dump (Message_type_x ), if you go through the short dump you can find the CUBE name some where here, so that is cube which making issue, go to that particular cube>check whether any request are running(there may be some loads which shows it is running, but if you check in detail it may be failed, but QM status doesn't changing for some reason, this may lead the chain to Short dump
If you use any BIA in your cube, then check them too..
Goto RSDDV> Select the CUBE>clik on BIA index( Maintenance wizard)-->if it is running, delete and then rebuild the index.
Now goto your PC and Execute it, it shouldn't fail with Message_type_x
Hope it helps!

Failure of infopackage step in process chain - Error in source system.

Hello Experts,
We are experiencing this during the execution of process chain.
All the step for data loads within BW(DSO to DSO, DSO to cube) are failing with error -
- Error in source system
- Error during data selection
Please note that we are 3.5 data flow and thus, data load within BW is through emulated data source and the infopackage. Steps running such infopackages for emulated data source are failing in process chain with error above.
Surprisingly, when I run the infopackage manually out of process chain it runs successful without any error. But when I run through process chain it fails.
Any clue or suggestion? We have already tried doing re-initialization for infopackage.
Appreciate your inputs.
Regards,
PK.

Hi,
When we run data loads thru process chain it will run in background. as per the available background application servers your request will be processed.
as my your during your load time server will be on high load.
please check your system busy schedule and schedule your process chains.
Check Tx - SM50, if you have less application servers, then ask basis to create few more to application servers to process the request at busiest time.
check about increasing parallel processing and default data transfer settings.
go to info package---> menu scheduler--> data settings for default data transfer.
Thanks

Due to attribute change run(sid's is missing)...process chain is failed

Hi All,
Due to attribute change run (SID's is missing) process chain is failed.kindly suggest me how we can rectify for this issue.
Thanks
Ragav

if master data is loading at same time while the attr/hier change run is occuring,it cause the change run to fail.
Usually u get error message like..user ALEREMOTE has locked the MD tables..
Wait for some time and then try attr change run manually by going to rsa1->tools->apply hier/attr change..
if it still shows locked..try to see in rsmo if a MD load has got stuck..
else..see in sm12 to find lock is on which tables..
last resort..delete lock forcefully from sm12..
first option is wait for some time and give a try again..
cheers,
Vishvesh

Process Chain gets unschedule after execution

I've created 1 event based process chain
i'm triggering this event from an abap program.
but after executing the process chain, the process chain gets unschedule automatically. I've used BP_RAISE_EVENT FM to trigger the event.
Thanks in advance.

Hi AG,
Can you please check the value of profile parameter:
rdisp/rfc_min_wait_dia_wp in you remote BW system. Is it 1?
If that is the case please increase the value to a more suitable value. This will determine the number of waiting dialog work processes in your system.
It is dynamically switichable. Please try this out and check the results.
Please award points if issue got solved.
Regards.

Metachain in Process chain is failed

Hi friends,
yesterday process chain was failed because of some errors.
after correcting i did manual load to all as in the meta chain .
Today process chain was failed because of the same meta chain not even running. there is no process monitor option and displaying messages are said previous job is running still.
So please advice i need to start that meta chain and it should run normally from tomoro...
Please help me in this regard...
Regards
Anil

u can proceed with the immediate schedule of that local chain for today and then do as what I have suggested.. this will resolve ur issue..
Meta chain was running fine in ur case with the Direct Schedulign option.. bcz it might have been with the immediate schedule in the scheduling screen.. .. If that is the case then the Process chain will allow this settings for the Local chains to run as per the sequence..
After todays manual run.. u can deschedule the entire chain once and then reschedule with the proper time details and the periodicity..
Thanks
Assigning poins is the way to say thanks... If ur issue is resolved then u can close this thread by assigning points..

Failing at ACR step in process chain?

Hi,
Could any body explain on this topic?
In process chain job mostly the chain was failing at ACR(attribute change run) step. that it is materdata ACR step.i want permanent solution for this step? I want find why this ACR step is failing weekly twice not regularly.
So,plz any body help on this..
Thanks&regards,
Goodyear.

What is happening here is that while the ACR process is trying to run in one chain(the main MD chain) most probably another chain is already getting kicked off before the MD chain and its ACR process is RUNNING while the main MD chain's ACR process is trying to kick off.
-Try to have sufficient spacing between the process chain batch scheduling runs so that 2 ACR processes NEVER clash.
-An ACR process while running,locks the MD tables and so no MD loads on those said infoobjects should kick off while the ACR process is running.
-goto Tools->Attr/Change run.It does contain a short log of the past ACR runs.Maybe u can get details about..at which day/time ACR process taking long time.
-Recommend that u have single ACR process at the end of the MD load chain.U can even have a meta chain having all MD chains as local chains and then put an AND collector from the local chains and map it to a ACR process.Right click on the ACR process and then insert the list of all MD infoobjects that are being loaded in all the local chains.
cheers,
Vishvesh

No repeat option available for the process step in process chain

If the process chain failed at the ODS activation level, generally the repeat option will be available for activation and to continue the next step. But in some cases the repeat option will not be available for the process step.
Is there any process to get the repeat option in the process chain?

You can change this in RSPC > Settings > Maintain process types > Loading (or process of your interest) > put the check mark for Repeatable.

Broadcaster event data change process step in process chain goes on HOLD

Hi,
We have a process step of event data change in process chain for a cube. the broadcaster has some settings built on this to send email whenever data updates happent to that cube.
It was working fine till last week; suddenly the process started going on sleep or hold mode. i ahve tried deleting old process variant and added new one ...still the job hangs.
Also in SOST i can see that the email based on broadcaster setting were sent. Though users havent recieved any. the job logs in SM37 say:
Job started
Step 001 started (program RSPROCESS, variant &0000000518457, user ID BIWREMOTE)
Program RSBATCH_EXECUTE_PROZESS successfully scheduled as job BIBCAST4E9S51L2EFE7AXG4IFUKNJW3W with ID 01462600

Submit report for report RSBATCH_EXECUTE_PROZESS failed; see long text
Submit report for report RSBATCH_EXECUTE_PROZESS failed; see long text
Submit report for report RSBATCH_EXECUTE_PROZESS failed; see long text
but when i see the job mentioned in this failed step:
Job started
Step 001 started (program RSBATCH_EXECUTE_PROZESS, variant &0000001419141, user ID KRANTUL1)
Precalculation: initialization started

So the users should have recieved the email . we have separately tested sending out emails and it works fine. just that process in process chain doesnt get completed at all.
the slg1 logs are all successful.
any pointers what could be wrong ?

Use process the INTERRUPT if the last precalculation and alert messaging are succesful. Guess it is looping with first precalucatation

Error on step in process chain

Hello All,
I have just scheduled a process chain immediately and it is running. One step (A full update) has gone red with error "Object requested is currently locked by user DCKIBUUK" - DCKIBUUK is my username. 11 out of 26 Data Packages have processesed OK. Data Package number 12 is where the error occured. Please advise on what to do.
Thank you and kind regards,
Keith

The first thing is to unlock the node of the process chain which has been locked by you. So you need to come out of the infopackage in question.
Now, right-click on the node that failed and use the "Repeat" option. If the repeat does not exist , you have 2 options :
1. manually run the remaining steps
2. Manually make the system believe that the failed node went in successfully by forcing the status of the step to "G".
Hope this helps .
