Technical Content Process Chain Schedules

Hello,
We are on BW 7, and I was curious how often companies are running their technical content process chains?
Is weekly typical, or should they be running more often?
Thanks,
Nick

Thanks Dennis!
Is there an order in which the TCT chains should be executed in nightly?
Our queries are executed during the day business hours 7 am - 6 pm
Our Data loads are primarily overnight.
The chains we have for TCT are:
0TCT_MD_C_FULL_P01 - Content Master Data
0TCT_C2_DELTA_P01 - Data Load Statistics - Delta
0TCT_C0_DELTA_P01 - Query Runtime Statistics - Delta
0TCT_MD_S_FULL_P01 - System Master Data
Thanks,
Nick

Scheduling Technical Content Process Chains

Hello experts,
I'm trying to schedule the Technical Content Process Chain as per SAP Note 934848 - step 4.
This step says:
4. Schedule Process Chains.
Please schedule the technical content process chains (0TCT*) in transaction RSPC. "INIT" process chains need to be scheduled once and "DELTA" process chains should be scheduled periodically.
But when I open RSPC I can't find anything with (0TCT*).
Can anyone help me?
Best Regards,
Rui Romba

Hi Vikram,
We have everything installed.
Recently we had an auditory from SAP AG and they detected that we needded only to schedule the Technical Content Process Chain.

Tech. Content Process Chain (0TCT...)

Hi,
I installed the technical content for BW7.0 and they are visible in BW but when I installed the technical business content process chains, they are not visible in RSPC. I did search for them but could not find any where. What can be the reason?
Please advice.
Regards,
Anil

Further to above post, While activating the technical content, system could not collect some of the infopackages as they were not in the business content. Is there any relation between process chain non visibility?

Stopping Process Chain schedule for just one day...

Hi,
Our source systems and BI are getting a patch upgrade during this weekend and I need to stop all the Process Chains schedule for Friday night/ Saturday morning. Is there a simple way I can stop all the Process Chains from executing just for tomorrow instead of manually removing each PC from schedule and again putting them back on schedule on Saturday?
Thanks,
Sri.

Hi
You can reschedule them instead of de-schedule and schedule back.
1)open your process chain in rspc1
2) goto planning mode
3) right click on start --> display schedule job
4) select the job --> in menu bar --> click on first one from left --> change
here change the dates as per your requirement and save the job.
If you have any event based chains which are going to start after time based chains gets complete, no need to de-schedule as we are not going get trigger from time based chains.
I don't think so we have any program to de-schedule all the chains at a time.

Process Chain Schedule date

Hi
I have created a process chain and i have set it to run every day night.
The selection in the infopackage must be the present date like today 2007.09.16 and tomorrow it should be 2007.09.17.
Is there any way where it can change the date automatically instead of me changing the date in info package daily and activating the process chain daily.
Thanks
sandeep

Process Chains Scheduling

Hi All,
We have a requirement where we want to have data load on the last day of the month for each month.
Can anyone please explain how to accomplish this step by step through process chains scheduling??
Thanks in advance.
Points will be rewarded generously.

Hi Jayesh,
Here are the steps you can use.
1. Create an event in your BW system (SM62).
2. In your R/3 system, write a RFC enabled FM. Inside this FM, call 'BP_EVENT_RAISE'.
3. Create a program in SE38 and call the RFC FM using the destination as your BW system. In this program, you can use 'LAST_DAY_OF_MONTHS' FM to get the last day of month by passing SY-DATUM. I am writing some pseud code for you here.
RFC FM:
Import Parameters: EVENTID like TBTCO-EVENTID (check 'Pass Value').
CALL FUNCTION 'BP_EVENT_RAISE'
EXPORTING
    eventid                      = EVENTID.
SE38 Program:
data: date type dats.
CALL FUNCTION 'LAST_DAY_OF_MONTHS'
EXPORTING
    day_in                  = sy-datum
IMPORTING
   LAST_DAY_OF_MONTH       = date.
If sy-datum = date.
CALL FUNCTION 'ZBP_EVENT_RAISE'
      DESTINATION '<your BW system>'
    EXPORTING
      eventid       = EVENTID .
This should do the needful.
Hope this helps.
Thanks and Regards

Need FM or Tables to see Process Chain scheduled(future) date and time

Hello Gurus!
         Can anybody tell me where/How i can get the Process Chain scheduled(future) date and time..?
   I mean, I want to see at what date and time is the PC scheduled for tomarrow/next month etc... Like TBTCO-SDLSTRTDT / TBTCO-SDLSTRTTM along with its Process chain name or PC's Start varient?
I will give the points for all the answers
          Bye.. Happy New Year

Hi Anil,
You can check in SM37 by giving the job name.then you can see when that particular chain is scheduled.
Goto SM37,
Give Job name = *
       User name = *
and select job status - ready,scheduled. then F8 (Execute).
Then you can see which job is schduled at what time and date.

Process chain scheduling error( Job BI_PROCESS_DROPINDEX could not schedule

Hi,
I am scheduling the process chain but it was throwing an error.
Job BI_PROCESS_DROPINDEX could not be scheduled. Termination with returncode 8
Message no. RSPC065
Diagnosis
Program RSPROCESS is to be scheduled as job BI_PROCESS_DROPINDEX under user ALEREMOTE.
System Response
Scheduling terminated with return code 8. The meanings of the return codes are as follows:
SY-SUBRC = 4:
Scheduling terminated by user
SY-SUBRC = 8:
Error when scheduling job (JOB_SUBMIT)
SY-SUBRC = 12:
Error in internal number assignment
Procedure
Check the system log for more detailed information.
Execute Function
for this i have already checked
in RSPC menu tab
Process Chain >> Attributes >> Execution User
Choose "BW Background User" which should be ALEREMOTE.
above settings i have done.
even though when i am scheduling the process chain i am getting the same error
thanks
suman

Suman,
You are not able to schedule it b'coz it is getting scheduled from user RFCUSER whereas the background user should be ALEREMOTE.
There is an option somewhere in the Menu bar in RSPC to change the Execution user. Please change that to ALEREMOTE,
Please check whether your BW user has enough authorization to run this job. The above post tell you how to do it.

Process chain scheduling

Hi All,
I have a Process chain. Ot was not running from 2 days then i saw in RSPC it was green in color. Then i scheduled it and it turns green.
Steps are: start->load data 1, load data2 , loaddata3->and->so on
Today i saw it ran till load data 2 then at load data 3 it failed
when i saw display variant of load data 1 in that schedule tab last changed by is aleremote but in load data 3 last changed by is username.
request came for ods in data load1 and 2 but not for load 3 and further loads. thats why i ran it manually today.
Can u tell me what is the problem ?

Hi Shweta,
Confirm and try this:
when an error in loading process, first delete that particular request from data target manually. correct the error in data package in psa. then load it manually.
after load is succesfull then trigger next process.
Or can u please tell me that log error.. let me try to resolve
Hope it might help you.

Maybe I cna help others with my solution.
So...
I made the chain to run 3 times per day as Debjani advidced me in this thread.

I made a reports that tests the 18-th working day (for example) and some others:

CLOSE CURSOR GI_CURSOR.
When I am in the 18-th day, I raise an event. I test the year,the calender of the system and the month (January).
This report is called in the chain, as ABAP process.
Then, in my chain , I put a local chain , that starts after it receives the event 'ZE_PROD' and the parameter for it 'ZE_PROD'.
This event with parameter has to be created in SM62.
I hope this helps and thank you all for the advices.
PS: - the factory calender method seems not to be to good, because need special rights to create it and I don' t think it's possible to customize it (because the holiday calender has to be changed and I did not see how).

Reg Process chain scheduling.

Hi.
Here is a situation: I have a process chain named Process chain1 . Which will run on weekly basis. Now i wanted to run this procss chain in every month 5 th working day. I will create new chain as process chain2 and i will add my Process chain1 as local process chain.
My question is :
Is it possible to use Process chain1 for individual run on weekly basis and as a local process in Process chain2 for the 5 th working day run?
But for any start variant there are only 2 options
1) Direct scheduling
2) start using meta chain
What I shd to in this situation
Thanks,
Harish

Hi Harish,
Yes it is possible without creating a new process chain.
Schedule it to rum every week. If it is already have done get the exact job name which is scheduled (you can can get this by right click on start variant and display scheduled jobs).
Copy this job and schedule it as you wanted to run monthly on 5th.
Hope this helps,
Anil Kamsala
