Schedule process chain based on factory calendar

Hi Experts, I'd like to schedule my process chain to run only on 3rd and 4th working day every month. I tried to schedule it based on factory calendar. It does not seem to be working. Any ideas why it is not working? or any suggestions on the best way to schedule it?
Thanks!

After scheduling, Did you check "Right click on start variant" to see scheduled jobs,
You should see a released job, double click to check "Schedule Run".
Whats the setting you maintained for "Do not execute before" ?
Also Did you check any holiday in the Z1 calendar prior this day.

Modifiying, Transporting and Scheduling Process Chain

Hello ALL,
i have to create a new process chain for a delta Load and put this process chain in a big existing Meta Chain, after i have to transport to Quality System.
if i control the difference between Dev and Quality system to have an idea i see that the Infopackages in Dev have the execution tab: Load Data Immediately without job: BI_BTCH
in Quality some Infopackages have execution tab: run successively in batch with job like this:
BI_BTCH LX6CW08S1ICM04I4O06KOPL
can you tell me please in detail how should i complete this activity:
- wich type of control should i do before creating and modifiying process chain in DEV and Quality
- how should i do to control in Quality the scheduling of a process chain
- if i modify a process chain in DEV and after i will transport in Quality what will be the affect in Scheduling, the scheduling will be the same without problem or i have to schedule again
- in generale how can i schedule a process chain, wich transaction and how in detail
Thanks a lot for your help

Hi Bilal,
1) EVENT: When you want to have a process chain 'A' to be started after completion of a process chain 'B' or any process in process chain 'B' we can use this event. These two chains can also be from different BI systems. Like Chain 'A' could be from one production system and Chain 'B' could be from different production system. As soon as the chain A finished an event will be triggered and this event will trigger the chain B. The start time of chain B might differ because it depends on the completion of chain A. To schedule a process chain using an event, Go to Tcode: RSPC look for your chain. Switch to change mode. Right click on the start variant and select maintain variant. Click on "change selections. click on "after event," give the event name in the slot and select the periodic job.
2) RUN JOB PERIODICALLY: When you want to have the chain run for more than once periodically we select this option. Suppose, chain B has to run after completion of chain A periodically we have to use this option. If you do not check this option, your chain B will run only once when the event is triggered after completion of Chain A. From the next time onwards, it not run even the event is triggered.
3) JOB: For every process when it runs a job will be created assainging it to a work process in the system. Similarly, when the chain starts a job will be created containing the log of the run. Also, in the scheduling options of a process chain, you can have your process chain started after completion of a particular job in the system (ex: an attribute change). For this, Go to Tcode: RSPC look for your chain. Switch to change mode. Right click on the start variant and select maintain variant. Click on "change selections. click on "after job" give the job name in the slot and save the settings.
4) SCHEDULING PROCESS CHAIN: Means to make settings to a process chain so that it will run on a periodic basis at a certain time. If you want to start a chain immediately, you will choose the option immediately and trigger it. It will run for only once. But, if you want to have your chain run everyday at 7:00 am in the morning, you have to schedule it using the scheduling options as below:
In Tcode: RSPC look for your chain. Switch to change mode. Right click on the start variant and select maintain variant. Click on "change selections." Click on Date/Time button. Give the start date and time in the Scheduled Start slots. (Ex: 09-04-2009, 7:00, to have the chain run at 7:00 everyday starting from tomorrow). Tick the check box Periodic job in the bottom and click on "periodic values" button and select the option as daily and save it. Then click on "Restrictions" button to specify the factory calander. The Tcode for calander is SCAL, where you can see all the factory calanders in the system and you can choose that suits your requirement. Save the changes and navigate back to process chain maintaince screen and click on "Schedule" button.
Now your chain is automated for trigger

Scheduling process chain in 1st and last of the month

Hello ,
Can some one help in scheduling the process chain at the starting of the month and the end of the month ?
The chain has to start on 1 st and 28th of every month.
Help me with the informations please!
Points will be assigned!
Thanks in Advance
Ram!

Have your process chain to start "After event". Then create an ABAP program to call function module BP_EVENT_RAISE. There are numerous postings in this forum on how to do this.
Next create two monthly jobs (one scheduled on the 1st and the other on the 28th) using SM36, and the only step in the job is to call the program to trigger (raise) the event. By triggering the event, your process chain will execute.

UNCAUGHT_EXCEPTION with msg CX_RSR_X_MESSAG while scheduling Process chain

Hi Gurus,
We are facing a short dump while scheduling process chains, as follows:
 
Runtime Errors UNCAUGHT_EXCEPTION
Exception CX_RSR_X_MESSAGE
 
Error analysis
 An exception occurred which is explained in detail below.
 The exception, which is assigned to class 'CX_RSR_X_MESSAGE', was not caught
 and
 therefore caused a runtime error.
 The reason for the exception is:
 No text available for this exception
 
Information on where terminated
 Termination occurred in the ABAP program "SAPLRRMS" - in "RRMS_X_MESSAGE".
 The main program was "RSPC_MAINTAIN_SINGLE ".
 In the source code you have the termination point in line 82
 of the (Include) program "LRRMSU13".
 
We tried to schedule it as a remote process chain from some other system it cancelled the job there with an ERROR_MESSAGE. We checked the RFC Connections at the source system side but it is working properly. We then tried to schedule the chain manually, we had this exception. Then we tried to have a look at previous logs of the process chain. It had this exception. We tried to reactivate the chain it was successful but when tried to schedule the chain same issue again. We tried to run the Meta chains under the same chain separately. They too gave us the same exception.
Please help.

Reg: Excluding one day from the daily schedule process chain

Hi All,
I have a process chain scheduled daily except Sunday i.e. from Monday to Saturday. Now i want to exclude Saturday from the daily scheduling.
Any idea how we can do that. Early response will be highly appreciated.
Best regards

Hi,
Restrict chain Scheduling on Sundays/Holidays
Create a factory calender using TCode SCAL or ask your basis team to create one.
In this calender mark all days except the day you dont want the chain to run as workday.
Now while scheduling the process chain make use of this calender and restrict it to run only on the workdays.
There is a setting in the start process of the PC by which your chain wont run in sundays/holidays based on calendar or run only on workdays as defined in the factory calendar.
Go to PC > start process > change selection > Date/time. Here enter the date from which the chain should be scheduled and then click the Restrictions button at the bottom. There u can check the option "Dont execute job on sundays or holidays.
Hope this helps.
Thanks,

How to schedule Process Chain with Full Update for the past closed month

Hello,
I have an HR-BN benefits transactional data extractor - http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/en/08/b01d3cf8aa101ce10000000a11405a/frameset.htm
One of the selection fields for that extractor is calendar year/month 0CALMONTH and it is a full update extractor.
SAP recommends running this extractor once a month after the month has been closed.
If I were to include this update/extract into my process chain, would it be possible to automate the process in a way where the process chain is scheduled to execute once a month (I know how to do that), but that also only pulls values for the past/closed CALMONTH (as if it had a variable value of which would be automatically set to the last closed month when pchain is run)? As I mentioned 0CALMONTH is one of the selection criterias in the infopackage for that extractor.
let me know how I might be able to do that.
P.S. we are on BI 7.0/2004s
Thank you

For Calmonth selection in infopackage you can use the SAP-Exit OLAP Variable 0CMLMON (Last Month)
select Type "7" ("OLAP Variable")
and in Details of Type screen, Select OLAP Variable "0CMLMON" Which is SAP-Exit variable for Calmonth, that returns the last month from the current system-date.
If variable 0CMLMON is not active, you need to activate it from Business content.
Assign pts if helpful.

How to schedule process chains to be run on certain dates contained in DSO

Here is what I am trying to do.
We have a set of objects that need to be loaded with data, however they have to be loaded only on certain dates.
We are using process chains. What I would like to do, is to automate this load.
Essentially, I am thinking that I need to create some kind of event/service on the BW side that will sit and listen by comparing the system date to a set of dates defined in one of the DSOs containing data on Academic Calendar.
For example, the process chain should only start when the system date is = to the beginning of academic subsession date defined in one of the DSOs called Academic Period. Once the execution happens, then the event/service would sit and listen until the next time system date is = one of the dates in that DSO.
I am looking into the detailed steps in how this automation could be accomplished.
Thank you

did this once a long time ago...other kind of requirement but the principle is the same.
create a program_1 that updates table TVARV.
you need a selection screen with a paramter 'run_pc_2' and an input field for 'X' or ' '.
when you need to run chain2, you run this program and put X in the input field and run the program to update TVARV.
after the run of the process chain you run the program again and put ' ' in the input field.
create a second program_2 that reads this entry in table TVARV. If 'run_pc_2' = 'X' then you trigger event1. else you trigger event2.
create two process chains.
1/ PC1PC2PC4
2/ PC1PC3PC4
the first process chain is to be scheduled by event triggering after event1.
the second one is to be scheduled by event triggering after event2.
schedule program_2 to run daily.
the program will now check the entry in table TVARV and will trigger the corresponding process chain.
i hope it's clear what i mean to say.

Triggering Process chain based on execution of R3 job and Process Chain

Hi All,
I need your help in arriving at a solution for a reqirement.
Scenario is., I need to trigger a process chain B based on successful execution of Process chain A and an R3 job. If both conditions(Completion of R3 job and Process Chain A) are met then only it has to trigger process Chain B.
I know that we can use events to trigger a process chain using R3 job.But my case is differenet I need to consider the success message from both process chain and R3 job.Is there any way to solve it ?
Please provide me with your valuable inputs.
Thanks,
Bindu

Hi Hima,
You can use the 'AND' variant for both, If both are success then trigger the process chain.

System does not propose the delivery date based on factory calendar

Hi,
I am creating a sales order for a delivery date for this sat which is (2/22/09)
I have maintained 2 separate calendars for
1) shipping point
2) for the route
The route has a transit time of 1 day and the calendar has sat and sunday as non working.
the Shipping point has a pick/pack time of 1 day and the calendar has sat and sunday as non working
The material is available in the warehouse
Now when i create this sales order i enter the delivery date as 2/22/09, the system does not propose me the delivery date of monday (i.e 2/23/09) It accepts the 2/22/09 delivery date.
In the schedule line i do see the date as 2/22/09 only.
The delivery was created with the following dates
Picking = 2/17/09
Transportation Planning = 02/18/2009
Loading =02/18/2009
Planned GI= 02/18/2009
Delivery Date = 02/22/2009
How can the system give me the delivery date of a sunday when the calendar doesnt allow sunday as working day.
Also the route time is 1 day in transit so i am not sure why the system is proposing a 3 day transit time?
Can any one explain the behaviour of SAP for the delivery date logic

Dspsac,
Delivery date can be any date. For instance, if your customer insisted on a Sunday delivery, you would accommodate him, regardless of any calendar.
From the delivery date, the system counts backwards USING THE FACTORY CALENDAR ASSIGNED TO THE ROUTE by the number of days in the route. You have to consult the FC assigned to your Route to determine if the GI date has been properly calculated.
From the GI date, the system counts backward Pick/pack time, using the shipping point calendar, to arrive at Material availability date.
Calculations are explained in SAP online help

Error while processing sales order as factory calendar missing.

"factory calendar missing or error in factory calendar".iam getting this error while processing sales order even though i have assigned it to shipping point and plant and sales org.

Hi Malik, How are you? I'm sorry to trouble you,
Let me introduce, I'm Daniel, and I saw your fantastic asnwer in
the topic "How to update Factory Calendar in SRM", and might I have the same
problem. It's with the "factory calendar".
In transaction va02 when I choose a Delivery Date, and I sent it to process, as
a result in the "shipping tab" it calculated to the first item one date, and to
the rest one date different. I don't know What it happen?
I debugged the program and I saw that to the first item use to calculate the
date is the function 'APO_SCHEDULING', and to the rest item use
'SD_SCHEDULING', and until here I come.
How can I do to what the dates calculated are the same? or What would be the
problem?
I need the dates calculated are equal.
I looked at it's using two "factory calendar" which are "J4" and "C2". Is this
correct?
Thanks In Advance,
My best regards,

I dont know which one is belogs to my process chain as they do not have the process chain names.
Can anyone please let me know how do I confirm whether one of the released jobs below to my process chain.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
To find this out, in sm37, select the job and click on step button in toolbar. You would find the program name RSPROCESS.
Click on this job and then go to menu bar and select goto-> variant.
In the variant, you can see the process chain that has been used for this job.
