Trigger informatica work flow using process chain

Hi,
tell me how to trigger the informatica work flow using the process chains.
Please tell me the steps.
Babu

Currently, we have a custom trigger file on the BW system.  We have a workflow in Informatica that loops periodically and checks the data in this table.  When the file changes, the workflow in Informatica then continues. 
However, I think a better solution is to use a <i>pmcmd</i> and set up a batch file that runs a command that will schedule your workflow.  You can then put this batch file on the BW server and call it from the process chain (use process OS command).
The command will look something like this:
<b>pmcmd scheduleworkflow -s</b> (server)<b> -u</b> (user) <b>-p</b> (password) <b>-f</b> (workflow)
See Chapter 23 in your Informatica Help on using <i>pmcmd</i>.

  • How to Update Infoobject Masterdata using Process Chain

    Hello,
    I am trying to update the Master Data in Infoobjects (text and Attr) by using Process chain.
    The steps used are
    1. Delete data from PSA
    2. Execute Infopackage
    3. Execute DTP for Attr
    4. Run Attr Change
    5. Execute DTP for TEXT
    While updating Text, I am receiving error for duplicate entry.
    I am trying understand the correct process to update Infoobject Master Data in BI7 (SCM5/5.1). Please adivse.
    Thanks,
    Sanju

    HI Narendra,
    In process chain functions, you can use  the process type with the name Trigger Event Data Change (for BEx Broadcaster)
    The above process type must be used to determine which InfoProviders should be checked for data changes. You can specify multiple InfoProviders within this process type either directly (by simply entering the names of the InfoProviders) or indirectly by specifying the name of the variant based on one of the following process types:
    • Execute InfoPackage (LOADING)
    • Activate DataStore Object Data
    • Update DataStore Object Data (Further Updating)
    • Read PSA and Update Data Target
    Hope this helps

  • How to delete requests in PSA using Process chains

    Hi All,
    Can anyone explain me how to delete all the requests in PSA using Process chains.
    This is what I did...
    1. use Process type 'Deletion of Requests from PSA'
    2. Settings:
    Object Type - PSA table
    Object Name - <Datasource name>          
    Older than - 0 (Zero) days
    These settings doesn't work. Can you please let me know exact settings to use for deleting all the requests in PSA of a datasource.

    Hello Praveen,
    That's what I thought too. But if I use '1' one day, what if I need to run it twice same day? So this doen't work for my requirement.
    Any other suggestions?
    Thanks.

  • Need help in triggering the Data stream load  using process chain

    Hi Guru's
    is it possible to trigger a data stream load using process chain?
    Any help is highly appreciated.
    Thanks
    Indiran

    Hi Indiran and welcome aboard!
    Don't think this is possible. SAP BW & SAP SEM-BCS are rather independent systems. Though, BCS lives on top of BI-BW stack, it even may have master data different from those in BW.
    Process chains, AFAIK, is completely the BW's feature. Certainly, you may use PCc on BW side, loading ODS/DSO and cubes involved in BCS data model.
    The main con here is the lost transparency -- you don't control everything from the consolidation monitor.
    The pro side is also rather obvious for me. Since, very often there is a huge difference between data quality at the data source and in the BCS totals cube, I need to make a lot of data transformation. Not only some data calculations or cleaning, but also transformation of data model: key figure model -> account model. It's much more easier to do in BW, for me.
    I even call the ODS/cubes/routines involved in such transformation as intermediate layer, the layer between data source and SEM-BCS.
    And this layer lives rather independently from BCS.
    Hope this helps.

  • Initial full load of Master data using process chain

    Hi All,
    Could you please help me regarding, initial master data load to characteristics with attributes and text. I need to load master data to 23 info objects, by using process chain can I do full load of master data to all info objects at a time. And one more doubt is, as per my knowledge we can't maintain more than one variant in an info package, is that right ? or we can ?
    Means Start Variant -> Info Package (0Customer_Text, 0Customer_Attr,0BILL_TYPE_TEXT, BILL_CAT_TEXT) -> DTP ( ", ", ", ") -> ACR.
    Your Help will be appreciated.
    Thanks & Regards
    Sunil

    Hi,
    "I need to load master data to 23 info objects, by using process chain can I do full load of master data to all info objects at a time."
    if there is no dependency between attributes then you add you can create process chains and trigger them at a time. No issues.
    we can't maintain more than one variant in an info package, is that right ? or we can ?
    With one info pack you can't load data to all 23 psa. because each data source have own psa. you need to sue 23 info packs.
    in general start variant--> info pack --> dtp (assuming as your bw 7.x)---> attribute change run.
    like that you need to create 23 chains 
    Or create one two big chains.
    one is for attribute and another for text.
    In attribute
    start varaint--> info pack(info bject 1)--DTP(infoobject 1))--> info pack(infoo bject 2)-->dtp(infoobject 2).
    Like that way you can create in series and parallel chains to load attributes data into info objects. at end you add change run for 6 info objects each. SAme you can do for text loads also.
    Thanks

  • Data load Error using Process chain

    Hi,
    In NW2004s when I schedule delta loads for 2LIS_11_VAITM using process chains, when there is zero delta, the manage screens of the infocubes show green light with zero records correctly whereas the process chain log display shows red. The details of the process monitor show zero records. Is this right? I assume that even if there is zero delta, the log must show green and all the subsequent processes like activation of ODS, deleting of PSA, construction of indexes must be carried out. Please confirm. Is this a bug?
    Thanks.

    Hi Victor,
    Can you please advice how you solved issue as we are having similar issue where it works fine when loaded manually but throws communication error when process chain runs, following is error message..
    Communication error: call FM RSSDK_DATA_REMOTE_GET
    Thanks in advance for your help!!

    Hi,
    Can we load R/3 data into BI using process chains?... I loaded data from R/3 into Infocube using generic extraction using view... took 2 tables EBKN and EBAN and ceated view.
    In PSA I can find all the 2388 records but when I load into datatarget in transferred tab there are 2388 records but in added colum i could find only 2096.....
    I deleted the request and want to load through process chains....... but  how to do ?????? without flat file ...can we laod using process chains?
    I appreciate any inputs.......

  • How to load hierarchies using process chains

    Hi ,
    Can any one please explain the steps for loading hierarchies using process chain.whenever i drag the hierarchy infopcakage Save variant is also coming by default,so do we need to have different SAve variant for different hierarchy infopackages or can we have one save variant for all the hierarchy variables.
    Thanks,
    Vaka

    Hello Veka,
    How r u ?
    Yes ! SAVE Variant & Attribute Change Run will add up while loading the Hierarchy InfoPackage.
    Provide the InfoObject Name for which u r loading the Hierarchy in the SAVE variant and SAVE it. The same will be transferred to the Attribute Change Run also.
    If u r creating the Chain with more InfoPackages then have the Save Variant & Attribute Change Run at the last.
    Best Regards....

  • Flat file data loading error using process chain

    Hi SAP Experts,
    I am having a problem loading the flat file data to the cube using process chain. The issue is that when i run the process chain it fails giving the message " Date format error, please enter the date in the format  _.yyyy" . I am using " 0calmonth in the datasource" . Strange is that when i manually execute the infopackage, i dont get any errors and am able to load the same file successfully to the dso and the cube. Is there any special setting for the process chain that i am missing?
    The date format in the flat file is mm/yyyy. I have tried all the options i could including recreating the datasource and invain dont see any success so far. please help me solving this problem as we r in the middle of testing cycle.
    Thanking you all for your quick response and support all the time.
    Kind Regards,
    Sanjeev

    Hi Sanjeev,
    I believe you are opening the .csv file again after saving it. In this case the initial 0 in single digit month (say 02/2010) is getting changed to 2/2010 and the resulting file is not readable to the system. Just do not open the file after you have entered data in the .csv file and saved and closed it. If required, open the file in notepad, but not in excel in case you want to re-check the data.
    Hope this helps.

  • How to delete Master data using Process Chain

    I need to delete data in respective data targets such as Infocubes, DSO’s & Master data Infoobjects. It was fine with Infocubes & DSOs  using respective process type. But the issue is with Master data Infoobjects.
    Is there any process type by using which I can delete data in Master data Infoobjects using process chain?

    Murali,
    Master data object process type is not there because in BW, master data is conformed or is shared by other infoproviders. Due to this dependency, master data loading is a bit more complex. You need to drop all the data from all the infproviders which are using the master data you want to delete.
