Schedule a process chain on last saturday of every month

Hi Guys,
My requirement is to schedule process chain on last saturday of every month. Is there any way to do this?
I am already aware of below document. So please do not reply with the same. But please let me know if I am missing on anything.
I have a requSchedule a Process chain on specific weekdays
Thanks,

HI R P,
As mentioned in 'Schedule a Process chain on specific weekdays' document to use decision step. You can go with it just before setting actual data flow PC steps. Here a help for you.
Logic for decision step-
Create a new custom function/method (say ABC) to calculate last Saturday of every month by using Standard Method 'FIRST_DAY_IN PERIOD_GET' (this gives last Sunday of every month) and use code logic accordingly to get last Saturday.
Now, pick this ABC function from 'User- Defined function' section for your decision step formula.
Hope this help.
Thanks!

Planning a process chain from 2 to 15 every month

Dear Gurus,
I have created a process chain but I must plan it daily from day 2 to day 15 every month. If I check the period values to plan it I can just select: daily, weekly, monthly... but I need it to be daily but just those days.
Can anybody help me with it?
Many thanks!

Jordi

Scheduling of process chain with background job

Hello All,
I have scheduled the process chains through background jobs. I have copied the meta chain and created seven background jobs that is from Monday till sunday. The problem is most frequently the job gets cancelled with the message
Process CHAIN, variant PAA1_GS001 is not scheduled waiting for event RSPROCESS 44NRPDWZ7CQUJ92ATDTY6368H.
This is the variant for the next process after the start process. I tried by giving merge active versions, but one day the background job runs fine , but the next day it gets cancelled.
If anyone has faced this issue before kindly let me know.
Regards,
Karthik.

Hi,
It seems to be there may be in probelm in Varients, so create a separate Varient for each PC and then activate the PC and execute.
Thanks

Run process chain on last three days of the month

Hello
I need to run process chain on last three days of the month. For example , It should run on 28, 29 and 30th dates of June.
There is no option to put a code in the start process of the process chain.
I can run it every day and put a code in the infopackage/DTP so that empty load (0 records) will be done on other days.
This doesnt sound as a good option.
Do u know any other options?

Hi
See the code and details how to do it, and change the code as per your requirement.

Two buttons "Activate" and "Activate and Schedul" in Process Chain

What are the functionalities of the two picture buttons "Activate" and "Activate and Schedule" in process chain. In which case the "Activate" button should be used and in which case, the "Activate and Schedule" button should be used? If we click the Start variant of a process chain, then click "Change Selections" button which bring up the window "Start Time" where the buttons "Immediate", "Date/Time", "After job", and "After event" are listed at the top. If we modify at any of the above buttons, then after save this modification, we will have to click "Activate and Schedule" button to make it work, right?
Thanks a lot and everyone's idea is greatly appreciated!

Hi Kevin,
Simply activating ur PC wont trigger ur PC. U have to use the other option Activate and Schedule then only the process chain trigger as per the scheduled option.
U can give the Date/Time option and if it is a periodic job then u can specify the periodicity, later save all the things and when u come back to RSPC screen then click the 'Activate and Schedule' Button which looks like a clock.
When u do this then ur process chain will be in released status.
When ever if u activate ur chain will be with the Green color it means that its in Active status. But if u choose the second button then only ur chain will gets trigger..

Schedule local process chain

Hi, I have a requirement to schedule local PC to run every 8 hrs instead of daily as it does now. Local process chain is called within a meta chain. Is there a way I can schedule local process chain separately within a meta chain or I have to change schedule for the entire meta chain?
Thanks!

No need to change schedule for the entire meta chain. U should schedule local process chain separately.
For local chain change mode
Right click 'Start Variant' -> Maintain variant -- Direct Scheduling -- Change Selections
Enter Date/Time... Select periodic Job
Periodic Values -- Other period -- enter 8 for Hour(s)
If u r using company calender -- Select 'Restrictions' -- enter Calender ID
Save -- Activate - Schedule
Local PC will run for every 8 hrs from the time u specified, and also run in metachain (once in a day if metachain runs daily)

Hi Suresh,
If you want to change in the Production system, you may not have the Authorizations. If you have authorization;
1. Goto RSPC-->double click on the Process chain
2. double click on the Start variant of the process chain-->Click on the EDIT button
3. Click on the CHANGE SELECTIONS then click on the DATE/TIME Tab;
4. There pls give from which date this process chain has to run to with your requirement time,
then give the time and select the periodic job and select with your requirement.
Save and exit.
It is done!!
Hope you understood.

Scheduling a process chain running in a specific hour

hi,
Is there any other way to schedule the process chain to run in a specific time besides using different meta chains to call the main process chain to do the loads separately.
Can we do this by using one main process chain?
for example, this is performed daily (hourly load: 4am load, 9am till 9pm load).
willie

Hi,
<b>Process Chains</b>:
From 3.x onwords to automate loads as well as process like Openhub,ababp
programs or activations or etc., We are using this process chains.
Coming to the major advantage
Like eariler infopakge groups if any pak fails we need to trigger all the loads
manully .wher as in Pchaing just correct that particular ipak and repaeat from that
particular process .it will take care abt remaing subsequent chain .
And also we can trigger parallel loads as well in this. Its much user friendly in monitoring.
1)You can make the process chain to be trigered by an event.
You do so by having the Job that start the PC start after an Event.
Then you define your set of job's (thru SM37) and make sure these jobs fire the event that starts the PC.
There is an ABAP program you can use that fires events (FM -> BP_EVENT_RAISE).
2)In the Start process of your process chain, select Direct Scheduling and then click the Change Selections icon. This will bring you to the Start Time window where you can put in the Date/Time you want to start your process chain. At the bottom of this window, click on the Periodic job box and you will notice another icon way at the bottom called Period Values. Click this to determine what frequency the job should be rescheduled (ie. daily, weekly, etc.).
3)you can do this by right-clicking on the start process, selection "Maintain Variant", choose "Direct Scheduling". Next select "Change Selections", pick your date and time, set your period values and you're done.
You can Schedule process chain in background by right-clicking on the start process, selection "Maintain Variant", choose "Direct Scheduling". Next select "Change Selections", pick your date and time, set your period values and you're done.
Hope it helps.

Schedule Local process chain (by fac calender) in a daily meta chain

Hello SAP Gurus,
We have a meta chain (e.g. M1) which runs daily. Within this meta chain (M1), a local process chain (e.g. LP1) is attached. This LP1 should run once a month on a Monday (defined in factory calendar). Please note LP1 can not be scheduled separately by factory calendar, as it depend on few activities in daily meta chain. I think LP1 can be scheduled by using the decision in meta chain. I have rough idea of the formula, but not sure. Can you please suggest what should be the suitable formula in decision to schedule it.
Example formula:
DATE_WEEKDAY1(Current Date, 'P1' ) = '1'
Where
DATE_WEEKDAY1 = Calculate weekday Number from Date
P1 = Factory Calendar for one year. Only 12 days (Monday) are open. For example 17 Jan, 14 Feb 2011, etc

No need to change schedule for the entire meta chain. U should schedule local process chain separately.
For local chain change mode
Right click 'Start Variant' -> Maintain variant -- Direct Scheduling -- Change Selections
Enter Date/Time... Select periodic Job
Periodic Values -- Other period -- enter 8 for Hour(s)
If u r using company calender -- Select 'Restrictions' -- enter Calender ID
Save -- Activate - Schedule
Local PC will run for every 8 hrs from the time u specified, and also run in metachain (once in a day if metachain runs daily)

How to set a calendar reminder for the last Friday of every month?

I need to set a reminder to go off on the Monday following the last Friday of every month. I could settle for a reminder on the last Friday of every month and then delay the reminder by a couple of days, but I'm not sure where to start. Does anyone know how to do this?

I found an App that solved my problem called "Calendar Tools"
It is a plug in that allows you to have custom repeat rules.

How do I set a reminder for the last day of every month

Have I missed something? But how do you set a reminder for the last day of every month to recurr indefinatley in iOS6? Sorry if this is really simple but I just can't seem to work it out. Any help gratefully received.

Hey Mattye88 not sure if you have seen but actully you can do this, but for some reason you have to use Siri. If you bring up Siri and say "set a reminder ever 4 weeks from next wednesday to check the gas meter" it will set one and it will work just fine, I have reminders to water a Bonsai every three days and it works fine it just shows as custom repeat on the user interface. Alas it seems you can not use Siri to set one for the end of the month though which is why I am in this threed. Still hope it helps you to know how to sort this problem atleast.

I agree with Marcus Pivot is the way to go about this... But on the other hand you almost solved it yourself.. just a max function was needed for your expected output:
select
max(case when rownum=1 then last_day(to_date(add_months(trunc(to_date('01-01-2014','DD-MM-YYYY'), 'YYYY'), level - 1), 'DD-MM-YY')) end) as Jan_month,
max(case when rownum=2 then last_day(to_date(add_months(trunc(to_date('01-01-2014','DD-MM-YYYY'), 'YYYY'), level - 1), 'DD-MM-YY')) end) as Feb_month,
max(case when rownum=3 then last_day(to_date(add_months(trunc(to_date('01-01-2014','DD-MM-YYYY'), 'YYYY'), level - 1), 'DD-MM-YY')) end) as mar_month,
max(case when rownum=4 then last_day(to_date(add_months(trunc(to_date('01-01-2014','DD-MM-YYYY'), 'YYYY'), level - 1), 'DD-MM-YY')) end) as apr_month,
max(case when rownum=5 then last_day(to_date(add_months(trunc(to_date('01-01-2014','DD-MM-YYYY'), 'YYYY'), level - 1), 'DD-MM-YY')) end) as may_month,
max(case when rownum=6 then last_day(to_date(add_months(trunc(to_date('01-01-2014','DD-MM-YYYY'), 'YYYY'), level - 1), 'DD-MM-YY')) end) as jun_month,
max(case when rownum=7 then last_day(to_date(add_months(trunc(to_date('01-01-2014','DD-MM-YYYY'), 'YYYY'), level - 1), 'DD-MM-YY')) end) as jul_month,
max(case when rownum=8 then last_day(to_date(add_months(trunc(to_date('01-01-2014','DD-MM-YYYY'), 'YYYY'), level - 1), 'DD-MM-YY')) end) as aug_month,
max(case when rownum=9 then last_day(to_date(add_months(trunc(to_date('01-01-2014','DD-MM-YYYY'), 'YYYY'), level - 1), 'DD-MM-YY')) end) as sep_month,
max(case when rownum=10 then last_day(to_date(add_months(trunc(to_date('01-01-2014','DD-MM-YYYY'), 'YYYY'), level - 1), 'DD-MM-YY')) end) as oct_month,
max(case when rownum=11 then last_day(to_date(add_months(trunc(to_date('01-01-2014','DD-MM-YYYY'), 'YYYY'), level - 1), 'DD-MM-YY')) end) as nov_month,
max(case when rownum=12 then last_day(to_date(add_months(trunc(to_date('01-01-2012','DD-MM-YYYY'), 'YYYY'), level - 1), 'DD-MM-YY')) end) as dec_month
from dual connect by level <= 12 order by rownum;
AND to avoid hardcoding you can also modify your query as :
select
max(case when rownum=1 then last_day(to_date(to_char(rownum),'MM')) end) as Jan_month,
max(case when rownum=2 then last_day(to_date(to_char(rownum),'MM')) end) as Feb_month,
max(case when rownum=3 then last_day(to_date(to_char(rownum),'MM')) end) as mar_month,
max(case when rownum=4 then last_day(to_date(to_char(rownum),'MM')) end) as apr_month,
max(case when rownum=5 then last_day(to_date(to_char(rownum),'MM')) end) as may_month,
max(case when rownum=6 then last_day(to_date(to_char(rownum),'MM')) end) as jun_month,
max(case when rownum=7 then last_day(to_date(to_char(rownum),'MM')) end) as jul_month,
max(case when rownum=8 then last_day(to_date(to_char(rownum),'MM')) end) as aug_month,
max(case when rownum=9 then last_day(to_date(to_char(rownum),'MM')) end) as sep_month,
max(case when rownum=10 then last_day(to_date(to_char(rownum),'MM')) end) as oct_month,
max(case when rownum=11 then last_day(to_date(to_char(rownum),'MM')) end) as nov_month,
max(case when rownum=12 then last_day(to_date(to_char(rownum),'MM')) end) as dec_month
from dual connect by level <= 12 order by rownum;
Easy way: (without connect)
SELECT LAST_DAY (TO_DATE (ROWNUM, 'MM')) AS Jan_month,
       LAST_DAY (TO_DATE (ROWNUM + 1, 'MM')) AS Feb_month,
       LAST_DAY (TO_DATE (ROWNUM + 2, 'MM')) AS Mar_month,
       LAST_DAY (TO_DATE (ROWNUM + 3, 'MM')) AS Apr_month,
       LAST_DAY (TO_DATE (ROWNUM + 4, 'MM')) AS May_month,
       LAST_DAY (TO_DATE (ROWNUM + 5, 'MM')) AS Jun_month,
       LAST_DAY (TO_DATE (ROWNUM + 6, 'MM')) AS Jul_month,
       LAST_DAY (TO_DATE (ROWNUM + 7, 'MM')) AS Aug_month,
       LAST_DAY (TO_DATE (ROWNUM + 8, 'MM')) AS Sep_month,
       LAST_DAY (TO_DATE (ROWNUM + 9, 'MM')) AS Oct_month,
       LAST_DAY (TO_DATE (ROWNUM + 10, 'MM')) AS Nov_month,
       LAST_DAY (TO_DATE (ROWNUM + 11, 'MM')) AS Dec_month

Mdx query to get the last date of every month if the month is current month need current date..

i have a scenario where i need the data of last date of every month and if the month is current month need current date data...
is it possible using MDX...

Hi Shashi,
According to your description, you want to return the last day for each month except current month, right?
In MDX, we can use ClosingPeriod function to return the member that is the last sibling among the descendants of a specified member at a specified level, here is a sample query for you reference.
with member [measures].[a]
as
ClosingPeriod ([Date].[Calendar].[Date],[Date].[Calendar].currentmember).name
select {[measures].[a]} on 0,
[Date].[Calendar].[Month].members on 1
from
[Adventure Works]
And then use the IIF function to evaluate if the month is current month. Please refer to the links below.
