Transporting Process Chains from Production DOWN to QA and Dev

Hello,
We have a ton of Process Chains in Production. I am looking for the easiest and most efficient way to duplicate those in QA and DEV.
What steps do I take to Transport them DOWN to the other two environments? Are there any pros or cons to doing this, or is it easier in the long run to just re-create them in those environments? Like I said, we have a ton! Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

Hi
The best practice is to have every development done in Dev then transport to QA and then to P.
If you are not following this process for PC you should.
Also, every now and then QA should be refreshed (meaning, copy P to a new QA system and by doing so all the data and config (including PC) will be in the QA system).
I would recomend to recreate the PC in DEV and transport them thru the landscape. This way you have the correct process where every Development is starting on the DEV sys and moves to QA->P.

Try to transport the process chain by removing the process chain from schedule.
Go to Process chain select execution in menu..go for option "Remove from schedule"
It may help you.

Error "Object 'DM' (APCO) of type 'Application' is not available in version 'A'" while transporting process chain to production system.

Hi Gurus,
Whenever I try to transport a process chain ZFI_0FIGL_C10 from dev. to qua. & prod. the error “Object 'DM' (APCO) of type 'Application' is not available in version 'A'” is displayed in the end of creating transport package.
The process chain was created to load data to 0figl_c10 and it works all right on all systems (dev. qua. prod.).
The process chain contains processes for:
- starting the process chain
- executing infopackage (for loading data to 0figl_o10),
- ACR (activate data in 0figl_o10)
- delete index 0figl_c10
- DTP loading data from 0figl_o14 to 0figl_c10
- executing infopackage 80FIGL_O10
- creating index in 0figl_c10
- building DB statistics
- rolling up aggregates in 0figl_c10
- deleting of requests from the changelog 0figl_o10
- deleting of requests from PSA (0fi_gl_10)
How to find what cause that error.
Regards,
Leszek

Hi,
A SAP consultant told me to ignore that error.
Indeed, after creating transport with some new process chains (again I was informed about that error "APCO ...") and transporting it to production everything works all right.
The problem is described in sap note: 883745.

Transporting Process Chain to Production

Hi all,
We have developed a query on cube 0PS_C04 in development which has been transported to Production.
We also have a process chain in Dev, which loads data from 7 info packages (CO_OM_WBS 1, 2, 3, 5, 6 & CO_OM_NWA_1 & 2).
we need to transport the Process chain into Prod now. The steps followed in BW-Dev are
1. RSA1 -> Transport Connection -> SAP Transport -> Object Types -> Process Chain -> Select Objects
2. Selected Process Chain
3. Created new Transport Request
4. Set Packages
... I am not able to see any elements (ELEM) in the list. None of the items are selected. I feel this is the issue...
I have tgransported the query successfully and am able to generate the report without any data.
My previous transport ended with errors (when I had selected all the packages.
Please let me know whether I am going wrong somewhere or missed any steps.
Warm regards,
Vijay Badgeri

Hi Dinesh,
I have checked 4-5 infopackages in Dev as well as production. They are all available in Prodn. Only descrepancy noticed was the schedule of the upload was different in Dev & Prodn.
Please advice whether I shd create fresh transport request for these infopackages and transport to production ?
If so, what would be its effect on already transported InfoPackage groups and Process chains?
eg. 0BUS_AREA_ATTR & 0BUS_AREA_TEXT were two such ips. They are part of IPG and are working without any errors till date.
Hope, this step will not land me in some other troubles...
Regards,
Vijay

Transport process chain to production

Hi,
i changed process chain in dev system and transported to QA. What i did is created a request then goto se09, select the request and click on release. Now i went to QA system then goto STMS tcode. double click on Quality system and then selected the request and click on import. Now the request is imported to quality. Everything is fine.
Now i want to put the same in Production system. So what is the process?
Is the below process is correct?
Goto Production system>goto STMS>double click on Production system-->select the request and click on import.
OR
Goto Quality system>goto STMS>double click on Production system-->select the request and click on import.

Hi prasad,
The procedure is same as you have adopted in quality.
but the option raised by u seems to be same.
Goto Production system>goto STMS>double click on Production system-->select the request and click on import.
OR
Goto Quality system>goto STMS>double click on Production system-->select the request and click on import.

How to transport process chains from dev to quality ?

I have developed few ip s ,dtp s , transf etc for few iobj. Few are available and few are not in Q. I know if all are available how to move a pc but in this case, what is the best approach to move all the respective objects related to that pc into Q.
I mean do i have to manually verify what is available in Q and then move the missing dtp,ip,tran etc first ...and then move the pc or..... I can just send the respective dtp,ip ,tran etc while transporting the PC. That is my doubt.
I have many objects (dtp,ip,trans)and almost 20 pc need to be moved to Q .Experts, Please suggest the best approach.
Thanks,

Thanks Jaya. Can you please tell me what do you mean by ...first the objects and the process chains need to be moved..... anyway we are moving the objects along with the process chains rite, ..do you mean if anyother obj is locking the obj which is needed for this pc .....for ex I have global_data and I have selected that chain and put necessary obj.
Its showing the chain after collecting the objects. Now do i have to change it to before and after and make the dispaly to list and then compare the obj from Q which are not existing .....and then check or uncheck the respective objects which are not existing and then transport it.
Can u pls tell me if I am doing right ?

Is it possible to transport an object from Production to DEV?

I have some queries and workbooks in Production that I would like to archive. I have not been able to find a method to archive, so I am wondering if I can transport the queries and workbooks from Production to DEV? I realize the queries may not execute, but so long as I can open them up and see their definitions in DEV, I will be satisfied.
I know this sounds a little bizarre, but is it possible to transport anything from Production to DEV?
Thanks!

hi
Yes. its possible but its not recom
you can set in production system to allow changes to obj rsa1->transport connection->click 'object changeability', and look for object type , and set to changeable.
pls refer these below posts

Transport process chains

Hi all
Please list out the steps to transport process chains from QAU to PRD.
We have all hte infopackages,DTP's,infoobjects int he production.
Now we need to transport ProcessChains.
Intransport connection->Grouping option?collection option?
Please suggest me.
Thanks,
Harika.

Hi Harikag,
The problem that you are facing is most often faced when the transport is made from DEV / QUA system to production system. This occurs more often when objects already existing in production are re-transported to production. Most of the times the corresponding transformation / DTP's get inactive. Nothing can be done as the the entire thing depends on way you transport the objects to production, only prevention is possible or else you need to apply the cure :). Don't worry as this is common scenario during transports. Try activating the transformations manually or you can try to re-transport objects in correct order. Please check the below thread, it will help you to find out the programs that can be used to activate the inactive objects manually.
ODS and Transformations get inactive after i transport it in PD.
Also check the below SCN doc which would be really helpful in case of handling inactive transformations:
http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/10858449-1f59-2e10-0095-dde76e16d330?QuickLink=index&overridelayout=true
Also in case you are transporting a chain then do remember that the start variant of your Metachain & all the local chains if any should be for future date else the chain starts to run automatically once the chain is moved to production. Once the chains are moved then you will need to manually change the scheduling option as per your requirement i.e main or metachiain for the required time & local chains with "start using a metaching or API option". This point should always be remembered during a fresh transport for a new process chain.
Hope that the above info helps you in solving your problem.
Thanks

Maintaining Transported Process Chains

Hello,
we transported few process chains from our Dev system to Production BW. Now, we are trying to modify the transported process chains in Production BW. It is asking for a transport# when we try to do this. Is it possible to set the system, so it won't ask us for a transport# when making changes to transported process chains?
We are currently on BI 7.0.
Thanks.

If it asking for transprots then Your Prodcution system is Open ....
System Open options:
SCC4: Changes without automatic recording
Changes to repository and cross client customizing objects allowed
Protection level1: NO overwriting
eCATT and CATT allowed
Uncheck all restrictions
then go to se06
System change option: global settings
change from non modifiable to modifable
Systsem closed options:
Changes and transports for client-specific objects-- No changes allowed
Client-independent object changes
No changes to Repository and cross-client customizing objects
Protection level 1: no overwriting
Restriction wehnt starting CATT and ecATT:
ecatt and catt allowed
se06 and change all modifiable to non modifiable.

Error in remote call of destination - when transporting process chain

Hi all,
I have earlier not had troubles transporting process chains from development system to test. Now I get the following error
Error in remote call of destination BW Test
Message no. RSPC051
Diagnosis
The following error occurred during the remote function call for destination BW Test:
Name or password is incorrect (repeat logon)
System Response
A short dump has probably been written in the other system.
Procedure
Look at the short-dump overview in the other system.
I know we have a transaction (RSTPRFC) where we give the password for the user that will do the activation of the PC after transport, but checking with the basis guy, and according to him there has not been any changes to this user. (As the user is the same as the RFC user used when setting up source systems). Running a check on the source systems from RSA1 gives green on all, so then the user should be correct...
(there is also no short dump available in the other system)
Does anyone have a clue on what could be done to locate the error..?
Thanks
Regards,
Øystein

Hi,
you are both right, and I got the issue corrected. In SM59 i have an ABAP connection that when checking it, gave me a logon error. When getting this connection working (by giving another password) and then setting the same password in RSTPRFC, the transport worked.
I'm just not sure I understand why this became an issue.
But anyway, thanks for the input.

Øystein

How to activate Process Chain in Production System?

Dear all,
We transported the process chain from QA to Production. But in Production they are in hidden mode. Means If i select the process chain, it does not showing any thing. How to I can schedule, activate and how i can see it in change or display mode in production.
Please provide helpful solution ...
Thanks in advance

Hi Shashi,
This should not be a basis issue .
Any how you have to take care of prerequisites like If you use load distribution for your system environment, the server group (logon group) is reduced to one server before debugging commences or if any auth issue.

Creating process chains in production environment..

Hi,
We are planning to create process chains in our project , can we directly create process chains in the production environment? the data and the set up is very very small here so the number of chains and processess are very less , is it ok if we create the process chains in Production environemnt directly, or we need to create in development and transport it to production (note: there is no quality instance for BW in our project).
Solicit your help!!
Regards
Srinivas

Hi ,
Best practice would be to create PC in DEV and move it to PRD .
Actually what happens in real time is sometimes your data mismatch happens or some other data loading activity you are doing in PRD system . So you need the freedom of creating DTP or Infopackage directly in PRD system . otherwise it would be a time consuming process to make it from DEV to PRD .
Similarly when you are Infopackages & DTPs in PRD environment, there is a chance that your process chain might also be changed . So yes we can create it in PRD system .
Kind Regards,
Ashutosh Singh

Hi Gurus , Please let me steps to transport process chain .

Hi Gurus ,
Please let me know the steps to transport the process chain , I have created created process chain in DEV for materila master data . The infopackges I have used in the process chain are already available in PROD ,used in the process chain. Please let me how collect the objects.
Regards
shekar reddy

Hi Sriram,
It would be really good that you collect everything in your transport request even if the changes are not made then also nothing will happen to your already existing info packages. In case if the changes were made to the selections in the info packages then they will be over written.
You would need to make sure that the info package is not getting executed at the moment of transport.
Also one more point that you would need to remember before transporting you r chain is that you should put the start variant of your chain to future date else sometimes once you transport the chain from development to quality the chain starts to run as soon as it is transported.
Your source system mapping would be totally dependent on the system that you have used in the development for example. suppose you have a Acceptance system name ( *A system for your info package then the mapping should be as *A -> *P( Production system) in the logical system conversion in production system. Also make sure that there is only one entry of your source system in the mapping.
also check the below PDF at SCN link. it would be really helpful for you:

Transporting Process Chain

Hi All,
I have an existing process chain scheduled on daily basis in the prod environment. I want to change the process chain by adding some data load steps.
My question is, if I move the modified PC from dev to production. will the process chain be removed from daily schedule? I mean do I need to reschedule the process chain? or this change will not affect the process chain schedule?
Experts Pls advise.
Note: Pls do not get confused with my other post regarding process chain, that is related to meta chain.
Regards,
Anand

Hi Anand,
I also had such scenario in my project where i had to add some more data loading and index creation & deletion steps in my process chain. I did created a copy chain in development system and made modifications to the old chain & saved a copy of that chain in devlopement. Performed testing of the chain in Accpetance & Quality & then moved to production. You can also follow the same path so as to make sure that in case if you face issues faced if any, with the newly developed chain, then your old one is inctact and bussiness is not affected due to the issues in the newly created chain.
Once your new chain is succesfull you can move it to production and schedule the new chain and remove the old chain from schedule. This will ensure that the bussiness is not impcated due to this change.
Also one more thing to be remembered is that before you transport a chain to production make sure that you Metachain chain and the other Local Chains in the Metachain should have their start variant set to a future date or select the variant to "Run using Metachain or API" else as soon as the chain is moved to production it starts running automatically.
Hope this info clears you doubts.
Thanks

Transporting Process Chains-includes the ERROR DTPs in the Target System

Hello Gurus,
Iam facing an issue in version NW2004s while transporting the Process Chains from DEV to QA. The Process Chains in the Target system are including the ERROR Dtps as parallel loads along with the regular DTP.This happens when there exists an ERROR DTP in the Target system at the time of Transport.
This will cause a problem
1.these would run parallel to the regular DTPs.
2.no of back ground processes running at any point will be beyond our limit.
Let me know if you have faced the same issue and how you resolved it.
Thanks
Jagadish
