System Master Data Process Chain

Hello Guys,
I am working on Admin cockpit. So far it s going well. However, I am struglling with scheduling System Master Data Process chain. When I look at its logs, I see that Operation Type (WHM)- Texts becomes red and Attribute Change Run (final step) has not finished yet(almost three hours) Please help.
Thank you,
OLGA

refer this..similar issue is discussed Alpha Conversion
Non Alpha Compliant Value..hw can this be resolved on BI 7.0 SP 13

To find only master data process chains and its infopacakges!!!!

Hi,
I have a task to remove the setting in the scheduler of directly assigning to data targets instead of PSA and then to data targets of the whole system!!!
i should not touch though the transactional info packages settings!!
these infopackages must exist in process chains -
how to go about this??

Hi,
If I have understand your point, then you want to change the setting of the infopackages that includes in the Process chain pertaining to the master date.
Then you can change the settings directly in the processing tab.
Or if you don't want to change the settings of the IP s that are in the Process chain,then go to RSA1 >> Select those IP s >> rigt click and copy it.Then you can change the settings there.
You can run each IP manually.Or if you want the same chain just with the changed settings,then copy the chain and put this new IP in place of the old one and schedule the chain.
If your doubts are cleared then kindly assign me some points.

Master Data Process chains failing due to special charecters?

hi experts,
we have done all the master data(FI,SD,LO,QM,PM,MM,PP,PS) and created process chains and transported into production system.
when we run the process chains we are facing lot of issues regarding special charecters.
for example. 0MAT_VEND_ATTR Data source.
MATERIAL VENDOR (field - IDNLF).
'UDGÅET
&''UDGÅR
&''UDGÅET
&''36/5599/LED./FÆLLES
&''SØTRANSPORT &
those are the special charecters are coming when i try to execute through RSKC the above Material Vendors, its giving different special chars for different MATERIAL VENDORS like below.
FÆLLESSØTRANSPORT
04/5160/FORSØGSAFD.
(5150)FORSØGSAFD.
like that there are about 15 master data chains are failing.
due to that reason the below transcation chars are not executing.
please suggest me is there any routine or is there any procedure to take care of unpredicted special charecters loading successfully into BW.
regards
venuscm

I don't think its a global setting problem.
Permit the char in RSKC...
Check with the functional team why they are getting Special char values in the loads. ask them to rectify the special char so that you can extract the same to BW side.
go through the blog links provided earlier in my post...
Check the below link which might be of some use to you,..

Master data Process chain running long time

Dear SDN Team,
PC Process Chain: General Master Data - time running is about 4.5 hours . how we can improve running time.
There are 15-25 info objects are loading from this process chain.
any steps to improve the performace
thanks and kind regards,
Lakshman Kumar G

Hi,
Go to the function module RSD_IOBJ_GET to find the object name of the dimension. Go to SE37 & proceed as follows.
I_IOBJNM = 'Info Object Name'
I_OBJVERS = 'A'
I_BYPASS_BUFFER = 'X'
and then Execute the FM.
Double click on the "'E_S_VIOBJ'" and find the number in the field 'u201ENUMBRANR‟'
and add BIM to the number taken from NUMBRANR.
Goto SNRO T-Code and enter BIM+the number and edit.
From Edit--> Set up Buffering --> Main memory, select the buffering check box and enter approx 500.
This needs to be done for all the master and your dataload performance would improve.

Mani

Master Data process Chains

Hi All,
I have activated all the required Master Data Datasources in R/3 in which some are delta enabled like Customer and Material(along with Sales and Comp. Code views), some are not delta enabled like Sales Org, Sales Grp etc...and some are text fields like Customer Grp 1-5, Material Grps 1-5 distribution channnel text etc.
Now, I have to create process chains to regularise the loads for this data once we go live.
But, I am not sure, how many process chains do I need to create?
Should I include all the delta enabled ones in one chain and the others in another chain?
Do we need to load the non-delta(i.e full loads) ones also daily?
How about the Text datasources like Cust Grps1-5?
Thanks,
RPK.

I have struggled with some of those same questions, and finally ended up deciding simplicity was important.
My Daily Master Data loads go like this -
-- MetaChain - ZMD_D_METACHAIN - contains 3 subchains, one each for attributes, hierarchies, and texts.
Attributes - ZMD_D_ATTRS ( I don't distinguidh between Full and Delta). I have them all in one chain. I originally thought about having different chains, and decided to have them all in one chain - 6 different threads, all in one PC. This makes it easy to move different loads around if some MD takes longer to load - goal is to have all 6 threads run approx the same amount of time. These 10 threads flow into a Change Run. In the Meta Chain, I have the ZMD_D_ATTRS local chain send out a positive or negative completion e-mail.
I have a few subchains in this one, e.g. I load 0Fund, and then have 4 loads that populate Z attributes of the Fund MD. In this case, I use put these loads in a subchain - first the 0Fund load, followed by the various load of Z attributes. This way I'm sure everything loads in the correct order - not having two concurrent loads to the same MD tha tmight cuase a lock issue. It also helps document the relationships.
Hierarchies - ZMD_D_HIERS. Don't have a lot of them, but I found it cleaner to separate the mfrom the Attrs.
Texts - ZMD_D_TEXTS. I have about 10 threads that each load about 12 texts.
Some have argued to load Texts after Transactions, but it our case, none of these load all that long so I didn't pursue that. I also have a sepate PC to my MD problem children - 0HRP0SITION and 0PERSON whihc seem to have errors on a semi regular basis. Having them in a separate PC - not in the Daily MD MetaChain - means my Daily MD MetaChain rarely has an error and makes it easy to monitor. If its red, I know I have a problem (also received a msg from the PC telling me that), where as if I had a load that frequently failed mixed in, I would have to always check to see if the failure was the Problem Child, or a MD object that doesn't normally cause a problem.
Hope this helps. Wish SAP really provide more guidance on PCs. Ought to have a contest on SDN - Most Creative PCs......

Master data process chain

Hi All,
I was asked to create masterdata process chain for info objects........WBS element, cost element,project and fund.......
So for these do i need to create process chain for each info object or else i have to create one for each infoobject?
Please post some suggestions and steps.
Regards

Hi Raj........
Yes..........u can include all these three in one Process chain........not a problem.............but obviously it depends on ur requirement......
Look.........for WBS element........there is Attribute,Hierarchy,Text.............for us Attribute is Critical.........so it is getting loaded as a part of a Critical chain..........Hierarchy and Text are included in the same chain............but u can included in one chain...........but remeber..always load in series.........not in parallel.........bcoz.........even attibute,text and hierarchy will lock each other........
cost element also hav Attribute,Hierarchy,Text..........for us it is getting loaded as a part of a FC chain......since it belongs to the FC area.........but u can include this in the same chain........
For project we r loading only text..........now for us it is non critical............we r loading it in the same chain of WBS element......
None of them has any Reference Characteristics............so u just include all of them in a single chain in any sequence......
Regards,
Debjani.....

Error while executing master data process chian

hi,
I'm trying to execute Master Data Process Chain in BI 7.0. But i'm getting errors at the DTP process of two info objects. The error message is like "equest 357 is already being processed and Exception CX_RSBK_REQUEST_LOCKED logged."
Can anyone tell the reason and how to resolve this issue?
Thanks
Hima

Hi Hima
Check if there is any other loads, fetching the same Request OR you can goto SM37 and goto Job log and check the status of the JOB... if it is finished, then check the status of the request too.You can repeat the locked request, if the previous req is either successfully completed or failed...wait until the dependent request is finished
just check this and repeat the req.. it should get successful now...

Display Source System Name in Process Chain Email

We would like to show the source system name (QA, Prod, etc) in the email subject when process chain messages are emailed so we can easily discern between production messages and messages from our test system. There doesn't appear to be a straightforward way to do this.
I have seen a Re: Howto Insert System ID into Process Chain Email Message which discussed this topic and offered 2 potential solutions neither of which work for us:
1. Open the production system and modify the messsage directly in the production system
2. Edit the First & Last Name of the sending user in the production system (does not work for us because we use central user administration)
Can anyone suggest another method of accomplishing this requirement?

we achieved it by changing text of [email protected] from 'BIWREMOTE' to BIP BIWREMOTE'....so in our mails even though mail id is same, but it display it for us as BIP.
Just go for user BIWREMOTE, and change format field with whatever name you wanna recieve mail. It should work properly.

BTE's used for project systems master data.

Hi ,
Can anyone tell me what are the BTE's used for project systems master data.
Tcode used are CJ01, Cj02, CJ20N, CJ12, CNMASS
When master data is changed or created BTE should trigger.
Regards
Subin

I don't think there are any open_fi BTE available for PS master data.
you can use classic subs/vals using GGB0 and GGB1 transaction codes.

Logical system Infopackage in process chain

Dear All,
I want to schedule a logical system delta infopackage in process chain I have input this package in chain but while activating it gives error "InfoPackage ZPAK_44MTIRL52E5IJXMQVL1BXFCWI is generated; NOT able to be used as loading variant" can any body help me how to resolve this issue.
Abhijit

Hi,
I think this package is created automatically while selecting update data into data targets from the context menu of the ods. This kind of packages cannot be used in chains. Goto rsa1->infosources. Select your 8<odsname> infosource and create a delta package manually. Put that package into the chain. That should work.
kind regards

System command in Process chain

Hello,
I have a system command in the process chain which points to a command file that is supposed to run. My problem is that when I transport the PC, the path on the system command remains same.
I want it to change the path from /md.... in dev to /mq... in QA and /ma... in PROD.
Is there anyway to automate this process? Right now i have to keep track of it and change the system command in each system. I have missed a couple and it creates some problems.
Thanks
Sam

Hello Sam,
One way to solve this is to work this with your UNIX administrator. You can do the following:
1) Create a symbolic link in your dev, qa, and prod which points to the correct directory.
For example, in dev, you can do the following:
link -s <whatever new name here, e.g. target> /md
In QA, you can do the following:
link -s <whatever new name here, e.g. target> /mq
and so on..
2) Instead of using the /md, /mq directories, you can use the symbolic directory instead in your system commands.
e.g. ls -l /target instead of ls -l /md
This might not help you a lot now but it will make things easier in the future because you will know that the symbolic link points to the correct directory of whatever box.
Hope this helps.

New system, problems in process chain

Hi,
Recently we made a copy from Prod system to new one. The copy was successfully and the connection with the R/3 system too. But when I try to execute a process chain, I receive the following message: Job BI_PROCESS_CHAIN could not be scheduled. Termination with returncode 8
and the system log shows:
BP_STEPLIST_EDITOR: Invalid step values (step 1 ) found. Reason
> User RFCUSER cannot be scheduled due to its type
BP_JOB_EDITOR: Job BI_PROCESS_CHAIN is invalid. Reason:
> Step 1 contains illegal values
As I see, the problem is with RFCUSER (communications user) but I don't know what can be?
I will appreciate your help
regards,
victoria

Check <a href="https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/947690">SAP Note 947690</a>
<b>Reason and Prerequisites</b>
1. The user type of background user is incorrect.
2. Invalid host name setting.
3. Server name spelt wrong or wrong case-sensitivity for server name in sm51.
4. Process chain scheduled to run on a server which does not exist.
5. No instance is defined but the operation mode is set in sm63..
<b>Solution</b>
1. Set the background user profile according to note 511475.
2. Check the host name setting in sm65 and correct if necessary (refer note 23538).
3. Check the server settings in sm51 i.e., check for the spelling and correct case.
4. Schedule the chain with a valid server.
5. Maintain an instance of operation mode in rz04

Problems with BPC Export Transaction Data process chain

Hi everybody,
we are trying to implement the procedure "How to Export BPC Transaction Data using a custom process chain " for SAP BPC NW 7.0 and everything seems fine. However, when we execute it from Excel, the package apparently runs well (the message 'IMMEDIATE RUN: The package is running...' appears) but when we go to the watch the package status, the package does not appear in the list and there is not any file exported.
When we go to watch the log of the process chain from NW, the Modify Dynamically step runs wrongly but there is no clue of what could be done to solve it. We have done it again from scratch but we always have the same error.
Any idea out there?
Thanks in advance. Kind regards,
Albert

Hi Rich,
in the end we managed to export data. Our NW administrator created the custom process type wrongly - putting a blank space before ZBPCTXEXP - and now it has been corrected and everything works fine.
Well we have managed to transport applications to one server to another one and to export/import the transactional data.
Is there any doc that explains how to transport process chains from one server to another?
In BPC Opps manual there is not too much information and we should transport quiet a lot of process chains related with Runlogic issues .
Thanks a lot for your help.
Kind regards,
Albert Mas.

Deleting Data/ Process Chains

Hi All,
        I want to delete data from a number of cubes, and also after deleting I want to make sure that no data is to be loaded into these cubes via any process chains that are already present and loading. My Question is by looking at a cube how can I find out if a process chain is doing so?

I found them,. If I do not see process chains does that mean that particular cube is not in process chains?
