The way to stop process chain running takes forever (without stop)

Someone here used to say in order to stop a process chain running in the middle, we can go to menu: Process Chain -> Remove from Schedule. However we have never made it successful since it runs forever without a stop.
Maybe there is a background process that we can go to kill them immediately that make the whole process chain run really stop?
Thanks

Is there any way to execute process chain from the portal?

Hello,
Is there any way to execute process chain from the portal? I dont want to link process chain with any of report. I want to have a button in some of portal folders. User presses the button and it executes the process chain.
I was thinking about to create a fake planning cube, aggregation level and planning function. I call FM within the Fox planning function that runs the process chain. But it should be done within the report.
Any ideas?
Thanks a lot in advance!

Hi.
I want to have a button in some of portal folders
You mean that you want to use some link in EP ?

How to stop process chain, if it is taking too much time than expected.

Some times if a process chain takes to much time to finish than expected, how I can stop the process chain and execute it again.
Thanks in Advance.
Harman

how I can stop the process chain ??
If the job is running for a long time ,
1)GOTO RSMO and SM37 and check the long running job over there.
2)There you can see the status of the job.
3)If the job is still running you can kill that job
4)delete the failed request from data target.

ABAP program in process chain running under another user

Hi, gurus
I have a process chain that load three DSO in order to generate authorizations. I wish to add a new process at the end of this process chain which calls ABAP program RSSB_GENERATE_AUTHORIZATION. I wish to run this ABAP program under a different user rather than using ALEREMOTE, our general purpose load user. The user to run authorization generation must be a system user specially created for this purpose.
My question is: is it possible to define a different user to execute only a process (ABAP program) inside a process chain while the previous steps can be run by a general purpose load user?
Is there any other approach? What about separating it into two tasks? How to sincronize them, that is, how to run generation just after successful ending of the load process?
Thanks for ideas.
Fernando

Let us assume that you have two parts to this -
1. Process chain for Data Loads
2. Program for authorizations.
Schedule the authorization program in the background and have it run after a particular event - this way your authorization program is run with a specific user.
In your process chain put in a program to raise the event at the appropriate time so that the authorization program can run. The authorization program in the meanwhile will be runnnig and waiting for the event to occur.

Process Chain running even after end date

Hi,
We are scheduling month end PC to run every 2 hours and also we have given end date for today evening.but process chain runs even after end date for every 2 hours.so we have to manually remove it from scheduling.
Any method how can PC stop on its own after end date .
Any help highly APPRECIATED
Thanks
Nilesh Pathak

There might be multiple release jobs for thie process chain.
So check the same. Right click on process chain --> Display scheduled jobs --> Here all the jobs logs of the chain will be available.. So check the same here...
As you have descheduled it now.. probably you may not be having it as the first release job might be moved to Schedule status as soon as the END date has reached and then second one might have gone when you have removed the chain from Schduling..
Anyway check the same.. and also check in SM37 whether any other user has triggered it manually today or not?

Get information for process chain running

Hello Gurus,
after a process chain running, how can I know how many records are loaded into the data target ? don't want to get back to DTP monitor to get that information. prefer to getting that information in the log view.
Many thank.

Hi,
The fastest way possible to get the number of records loaded will be from the DTP monitor only.
You must be having a step where the DTP is executed, simply double click on it and go to monitor.
hope this helps.
thanks,

Removing the "target server" from process chain jobs

Dear SAP Community,
Please note we are on BW version 3.5
We have a very large number of process chains that are used to load data in the production environment. Many of those process chains have a "target server" specified, so that the jobs will run only on the central instance.
A new application server has just been added to the environment, and we want to remove the "target server" definition so that the dispatcher will be free to load balance the process chain jobs.
We can see the attributes for each process chain are stored in a table called RSPCCHAINATTR.
Please let me know: can we update the value of field SERVER in table RSPCCHAINATTR, to set it to blank using SQL-PLUS ?
And then can we run a /$sync to bring these changes up into the application layer ?
This would save tons of time & manual effort, and it would set the target server to blank for all of the process chains at once, instead of clicking manually so many times to clear the value for each process chain.
Please let me know if we can take this approach ? Is there any chance of the process chains becoming inactive by doing this ?
We want to set the "target server" = blank in all cases, instead of manually clicking into each and every process chain.
Please let me know, thanks.

Check tcode RSBATCH, If I'm not wrong all process types are assigned to central server. Remove that server name and save.
Now, If u execute process chain, system will prompt you assign server/host name. To skip this follow the below.
Again use RSBATCH, under 'Background and Parallel Processes' tab, click 'Switch Off F4 Popup for Server/Host/Group', enter * (star) under Users for 'Users for Whom NO Server/Host/Group Popup Should be Processed'.
Now, If u execute process chain, it should run on either of servers.
Since u added Appln Server, best bet would be creating a server group. See the below link.

"Syntax error in the MDX statement " in Process chain failure??Urgent pls

Hi Experts,
could any one suggest me the procedure to rectify the below problems in process chain?
1."Syntax error in the MDX statement "
2."Error when getting data (Error when getting data (AXI))"
Rgds,

In which case it'll be that Access has a different date format to MySQL, and you're trying to push the string "'25-Apr-12 10:55 PM" into Access, which it's not understanding. To get around this, you need to treat your variable as a true date/time object, rather than a formatted string.
CFQueryParams should be used on absolutely every database platform, they'll stop your website being vulnerable to SQL Injection attacks for one, which at the moment you're wide open to. Replace your query with something like this:
<cfquery name="input_comments" datasource="#DSN#" username="#DSNUSER#" password="#DSNPASS#">
      INSERT INTO comments(
                         commenter,
                         comment,
                         datetime,
                         post_id
               VALUES(
                         <cfqueryparam cfsqltype="cf_sql_varchar" value="#form.commenter#" />,
                         <cfqueryparam cfsqltype="cf_sql_varchar" value="#form.comment#" />,
                         now(),
                         <cfqueryparam cfsqltype="cf_sql_numeric" value="#form.post_id#" /> )
</cfquery>
The QueryParams will handle the data types for you, and should pass values around more safely and with fewer issues. Assuming you just want to store the current date and time you don't even need to get ColdFusion involved, as databases have their own functions for this. I believe Access' version is simply NOW(), so I've put that in your query.
Give the above a go.

How to identify what are all the errors appears in process chain,

Hi all,
i have a process chain running, but i want to find out what are all the errors that the process chain has thrown
thanks
pooja

Hi Pooja,
Errors in monitoring:
SID error
Reason: If the corresponding master data is missing for the particular transaction data.
         1. Check for the load timing for the respective master data, if it less than an hour then make the request red and repeat the ip.
         2. If the data is loaded to PSA then you have to delete the request from target and manually push the data to from PSA.
         3. If we are required for selective update then note down the info source from header and find it in RSA1,select the one with Single as postfix.
         4. Goto data selection tab and change the range.
Tip: change the last 4 digits for from to 0000and the last 4 digit for to     9999.
        5. Repeat the ip.
         6. In case only of failure in one target goto RSA1 find the PSA, put he request no. and reschedule it.
Note: IF PSA is present never make the request red rather delete it.
Replication error
Reason: Data source replication Failed.
         1. In order to handle this error you should be known to IP, info source and source system.
         2. Goto RSA1, find the data source in the source sys tab.
         3. Right click on the data source and replicate it.
         4. Since all the transformation rules pertaining to this data source need to be reactivated so go to SE38 and execute rs_transtru_activat_all, data source and sys name.
         5. Delete the red request from the target.
Update R not supported
Reason: The corresponding initialization flag for the ip is lost.
         1. Goto header click on the ip and goto schedule tab and click initialize in the source system, whatever screen appears delete the only request present(the initialization flag).
         2. Goto RSA1, find the ip in the info source (one with the Adhoc initialize flag).
         3. Goto update tab and select Initialize delta process try going for with data transfer.
         4. Reschedule the IP.
Duplicate Record Error
Reason: Duplicate error records for the loaded master data.
         1. Goto info package via header or via RSA1.
         2. Goto processing tab and change the ip setting, selecting only PSA and ignore duplicate records and re run the ip.
         3. Do remember to change the ip settings back to the original once after the second step.
ODS activation failure
Reason: Prerequisites for ODs activation not satisfied i.e. unique key.
         1. Goto maintain variant.
         2. Check for the QM status of the requests in the target they should be green.
         3. Then click the ODS activation tab.
         4. In the screen which appears put the requests for which ODS activation failed.
         5. Activate these and keep on refreshing them until status reverts from green,
Remember to refresh these requests one at a time.
         6. If requests are red then delete them from target.
         7. Reschedule the IP.
Note: Never Try activating ODS manually if it is Y1.
Aggregate Rollup error
Reason: No aggregate found for the respective rollup.
         1. Click on the variant in which the error occurred.
         2. Goto chain tab and copy the variant and instance.
         3. Run the nestle provided program YBW05.
         4. Put in info in there and put the status as g green.
         5. Execute and refresh the status.
Lock issue
Reason: The same ip is been locked by other user or may be used by other process chain.
         1. We can see the locked entries and in the transaction SM12.
         2. Wait for the other process to get complete once the ip loads to target in that process then there is no need for running it for the process.
         3. In other case make the request red, when PSA is present then goto environment tab ->schedule->initiate update.
         4. In the box appears select update in the background.
         5. And the manually update the failed IPs by selecting manual update in the context menu.
Alfa confirming value error, Time conversion error, Chain didnt start, Delay due to long running job, Poor system performance,Heirarchy node exist in duplicate.
Reasons:
Alfa confirming error: Data format mismatch.
Time conversion error: Date, time format mismatch.
Chain didnt start: A scheduled chain didnt triggered at the prescribed timing.
-For all the above error we have to raise a ticket.
Idoc or TRFC error
Reason: An Idoc is been stuck somewhere.
         1. Reload the Master Data manually again from Info-package at RSA1.
         2. Release the Idoc.
         3. In the source system level got environment->transaction->Transaction RFC or Data ware housing level.
         4. In the Screen if the status is Transaction Recorded it means its stuck goto edit and click Execute LUW or press F6.
         5. If status is Transaction executing then it means its fine wait.
         6. Or raise ticket.
Error Due to short Dump
Reason: Error due to Short dump could be due to many reasons i.e. memory, table space, lock, error record, page allocation, failed change run.
Process terminated in the Source system.
           Reason: Sometimes we face that a load has failed due to job Termination at Source System.
      This happens due to unavailability of the source system or some connectivity problem between source and target systems.
1.      Make the request red.
2.      Delete the request from the data target.
3.      Reschedule the ip.
4.      If still the job fails raise the ticket.

Process chains run

Hi all,
We have a BW 3.5 system in our landscape.The process chains run get triggered through control M.When i checked the process chains are occupying the dialog work process.Is that how it should run.Dont we have a option to run in background.Thanks.

Hi Ambarish,
Process chains run in background.
Check if your PC is really executing by using RSPC1 transaction and providing your PC name. Check the job log for the day when the PC is executed.
You might also like to check if your system do have enough number of background processes. May be your basis team can help you here.

What are the varoius type of process chain errors how we can solve them.

Hi,
I need to work with process chains maintainace , Can any body tell me what are the different type of process chain errors generelly we used to get ,how we can solve them . IF possible please provide me any document also so that i can solve my
abnormal problems for process chain errors.
Thanks in advance .

Hi,
1) Invalid characters while loading: When you are loading data then you may get some special characters like @#$%...e.t.c.then BW will throw an error like Invalid characters then you need to go through this RSKC transaction and enter all the Invalid chars and execute. It will store this data in RSALLOWEDCHAR table. Then reload the data. You won't get any error because now these are eligible chars done by RSKC.
2) IDOC Or TRFC Error: We can see the following error at u201CStatusu201D Screen:Sending packages from OLTP to BW lead to errorsDiagnosisNo IDocs could be sent to the SAP BW using RFC.System responseThere are IDocs in the source system ALE outbox that did not arrive in the ALE inbox of the SAP BW.Further analysis:Check the TRFC log.You can get to this log using the wizard or the menu path "Environment -> Transact. RFC -> In source system".Removing errors:If the TRFC is incorrect, check whether the source system is completely connected to the SAP BW. Check especially the authorizations of the background user in the source system.Action to be taken:If Source System connection is OK Reload the Data.
