Trigger Tcode in ECC as soon as process chain starts in BW

Hi Experts,
I need some help on how to trigger a transaction code in ECC as soon as the process chain starts in BW.
I need to give some selections in the ECC like company code, period and year to fetch the report in ECC . I use it for reconciliation of data between ECC and BW.
Pointers if any would be really helpful.
A step by step guide, presentation,doc would be really appreciated.
Thanks

Thanks for the reply ravi but what i am looking for just opposite of whats explained in the link.
I am looking for the info on how to execute/trigger a transaction code in ECC as soon as the process chain starts in BW ie BW to ECC
the doc explains how to trigger a process chain in bw from ECC.
Thanks

How to know the process chain start time & end time?

HI all .
how to know the process chain start time & end time at the table level as well as in RSPC level .
regards,
Srinivas

Hello,
there is a program "/ssa/bwt" which will help you to know the exact time when the process was started and ended.
but the thing is you have to provide name of the process chain with the date at which it was executed.
another option is - you can double click on start process and on the last process of the chain.
here, you will get both the timings... Start time of the start process will be the start time of your PC and end time of the last process in the chain will be end time of your PC.
Hope this will help you.

Hi Reddy,
You may find the run time of a PC using below steps.
1. Call SE38 > /SSA/BWT > Execute > Enter your PC , choose the date and time > Execute. Here Run-time of a PC is displayed. (or)
2. Call RSPC1 > Enter your PC > Execute > Goto Log view > Right click on the start Variant > Displaying Messages > Note down the start time in Chain Tab. Now Right click on the last Process type of the PC > Displaying Messages > Note down the End time in Chain Tab. The Difference b/w start time and end time gives the Run-time of your PC.
Hope this helps.

Process chains start after transporting

Hello friends,
since we've upgraded to NW7 we encounter the problem that process chains start automatically after transporting them from test system to productive system. This ist very unpleasant!
Does anybody encounter this problem too? Ist there a system settig, which disables the automatic start of process chains after transporting?
thnx in advance!

Hi,
Process chains execute when transport request imported :Note 1233327 - Correction: Scheduling of immediate start for transport
In order to stop Process Chains from being scheduled immediately upon import, insert the following into the RSADMIN table with ABAP program
SAP_RSADMIN_MAINTAIN:
Object = NO_TP_SCHEDULE_IMMEDIATE
Value = X
After this change is made to the RSADMIN table, you can import Process Chain transports where the Start process variant has it set to be scheduled immediately.
This entry can be modified in the future by the same ABAP program and just changing the value of Object to space.

Process chain starter

Dear All,
We have transported a process chain, however, while trying to change the start condition of the process chain starter, it is not allowing us to change the start condition. How to resolve this issue ?
Thanks,
Sam

Hi,
Are you trying to change the scheduling of the process chain starter or are you trying to change the starter itself?
If you are trying to change the scheduling then you can do it and it might ask for Transport request, you can simply save the same in transport for the first time.
If you are trying to change the start process then you can follow the standard procedure as to bring the changes from D to Q and then to P.
If the process is enabled for the Objest Changeability in the transport connector then you can be able to change the process chains in the target system as well after storing the same in the transport.
Hope this helps.

CIF STEPS to load data from ECC to APO from Process chain

Hi,
i try to create on ECC system a process chain in order to execute the CIF program for updating APO Material/Plant Master data on DELTA mode .
I am not sure that the procedure is correct, at the moment i put on a chain:
- Step 1 Program RIMODGEN with a specific variant
-Step 2 Program RIMODACT2 with a specific variant.
Is necessary a third step with RIMODACT2 in order to deactivate the integration model?
On APO we have to insert other standard step in order to complete the delta update?
Any experience on similar situation?
Thanks,
Veronica

Veronica
You do not need a third step. You do not need to deactivate the model. In fact, it is not recommended to do so. You do not need any step in APO.
If your CIF setup is correct, the first two steps should be enough.
If by 'Delta', you mean field value changes to material/ plants in an existing integration model, you dont even need to do CFM1/ CFM2 if you have setup transaction CFC9 for BTE (online transfer).

How to send a email as soon as the process chain starts

hi,
i feel i am doing the right thing . but i couldn't get the mail.
i have created the process chain.
and attached the message to the start of the chain.
i had inserted the subject to the message and the recepient id is attached to the addresse.
any thing else to be done.
every thing is connected.no need to do the settings as we were getting mails for the other chains.
please do reply in detail.

Process chain start by dialog process

Hy Expert, i have a serious problem.When i schedule a process chain , it start by dialog process. What i do for start process chain by background process?
Thank's a lot.
Andrea

HI
You could do the following:
1) Create an event variant (i think it was SM63 or something like that)
2) write a short abab program that raises an event (see example)
*& Report start chain
REPORT start chain.
CALL FUNCTION 'RSSM_EVENT_RAISE'
EXPORTING
 i_eventid = 'your created event'
 i_eventparm = 'your variant'
* EXCEPTIONS
* BAD_EVENTID = 1
* EVENTID_DOES_NOT_EXIST = 2
* EVENTID_MISSING = 3
* RAISE_FAILED = 4
* OTHERS = 5
IF sy-subrc <> 0.
* MESSAGE ID SY-MSGID TYPE SY-MSGTY NUMBER SY-MSGNO
* WITH SY-MSGV1 SY-MSGV2 SY-MSGV3 SY-MSGV4.
ENDIF.
3) Scedule your chain by event and activate it (you need to make it periodical to run severeal times).
4) Scedule the program.
Hope this helps.

Minima

How can I realize a period process chain start: the 1st to 3rd day every?

Hi,All
I want to set a start in a process chain as the following:
a period value: the 1st to 3rd day every month
How can I realize it ? Thanks.
Best Regards
Jiande Ding

Hi Jiande Ding
create original chain as a Meta chain.
create the another process chain with immedaite in start varaint..
and put abap step in that PC after process chain..
put this below code in that abap program.
DATA: wwdate like sy-datum,
 WWDAY(2).
wwday = sy-datum+6(2).
IF WWDAY EQ '01' OR WWDAY EQ '03'.
 CALL FUNCTION 'RSPC_API_CHAIN_START'
EXPORTING
 I_CHAIN = <ur meta chain tech.name>
ENDIF.

Process Chain starter in Production

I transported a process chain in to Prod but when I click on the start process, it doesnt show me anything. Everything else looks perfect. What is the problem?

Hi Fran,
Some time variants are not collected automatically in a request you have to manually collect them .
Hope this will help you

Process Chain - Start Variant

Hi Guys.
I have a process chain and a start variant, but then when I transported. It seems not be transported the variant. CAn you please help me with this?
Regards,
Iván.

check in forum, you will find lot of threads...
1. Goto RSA1 --> Transport Connection.
2. select objects by Object Types.
3. You can see "Process Chain"
4. double click on it. inthat select your process chain. go with transfer selection.
5. Your process chain will transferred to right hand side. check the Grouping options on the right side tool bar. go with "Necessary Objects" under Grouping.
6. you can see all the list od variants in that. go with transport icon on right side tool bar. you need to make sure all process variants collected in this.

Process chain start variant repaired in production

Hi
I took up tasks from our previous Bi team
I am told we have followed the regular process of DEV -- QA and PROD for all process chains
I see a strange observation in Production for a particular process chain in its start variant
It is shown to run as immediate in the start variant, in the detail view , but
it runs scheduled at a certain time every day, I can see the scheduled jobs released
I see that in production it is attached to a request in repaired status
process chain works fine and triggers regularly
I am unable to understand why it shows as immediate in the start variant and however runs on a regular schedule

Hi
1) why does the start variant of this META chain show up as immediate, when it is actually running scheduled ?
are you able to see the chain in green color(scheduled state).
when you right click on start process chain step and you have option to select display scheduled job?..if yes check the start condition by double click on job.
2)Does the change directly in production, could have brought in this behavior?
We can change the start condition of process chain, when right click on start variant and select display variant..here you can see last changed name
3) If , I re transport the whole META chain from DEV-QA --PRD , will the start variant change or will it cause trouble considering the fact that the start variant was repaired in PROD directly.
No need to transport again, if you know the start condition of process chain, edit the same in prod and save it.

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 pmcmd 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:
pmcmd scheduleworkflow -s (server) -u (user) -p (password) -f (workflow)
See Chapter 23 in your Informatica Help on using pmcmd.

Modifiying, Transporting and Scheduling Process Chain

Hello ALL,
i have to create a new process chain for a delta Load and put this process chain in a big existing Meta Chain, after i have to transport to Quality System.
if i control the difference between Dev and Quality system to have an idea i see that the Infopackages in Dev have the execution tab: Load Data Immediately without job: BI_BTCH
in Quality some Infopackages have execution tab: run successively in batch with job like this:
BI_BTCH LX6CW08S1ICM04I4O06KOPL
can you tell me please in detail how should i complete this activity:
- wich type of control should i do before creating and modifiying process chain in DEV and Quality
- how should i do to control in Quality the scheduling of a process chain
- if i modify a process chain in DEV and after i will transport in Quality what will be the affect in Scheduling, the scheduling will be the same without problem or i have to schedule again
- in generale how can i schedule a process chain, wich transaction and how in detail
Thanks a lot for your help
Bilal

Hi Bilal,
1) EVENT: When you want to have a process chain 'A' to be started after completion of a process chain 'B' or any process in process chain 'B' we can use this event. These two chains can also be from different BI systems. Like Chain 'A' could be from one production system and Chain 'B' could be from different production system. As soon as the chain A finished an event will be triggered and this event will trigger the chain B. The start time of chain B might differ because it depends on the completion of chain A. To schedule a process chain using an event, Go to Tcode: RSPC look for your chain. Switch to change mode. Right click on the start variant and select maintain variant. Click on "change selections. click on "after event," give the event name in the slot and select the periodic job.
2) RUN JOB PERIODICALLY: When you want to have the chain run for more than once periodically we select this option. Suppose, chain B has to run after completion of chain A periodically we have to use this option. If you do not check this option, your chain B will run only once when the event is triggered after completion of Chain A. From the next time onwards, it not run even the event is triggered.
3) JOB: For every process when it runs a job will be created assainging it to a work process in the system. Similarly, when the chain starts a job will be created containing the log of the run. Also, in the scheduling options of a process chain, you can have your process chain started after completion of a particular job in the system (ex: an attribute change). For this, Go to Tcode: RSPC look for your chain. Switch to change mode. Right click on the start variant and select maintain variant. Click on "change selections. click on "after job" give the job name in the slot and save the settings.
4) SCHEDULING PROCESS CHAIN: Means to make settings to a process chain so that it will run on a periodic basis at a certain time. If you want to start a chain immediately, you will choose the option immediately and trigger it. It will run for only once. But, if you want to have your chain run everyday at 7:00 am in the morning, you have to schedule it using the scheduling options as below:
In Tcode: RSPC look for your chain. Switch to change mode. Right click on the start variant and select maintain variant. Click on "change selections." Click on Date/Time button. Give the start date and time in the Scheduled Start slots. (Ex: 09-04-2009, 7:00, to have the chain run at 7:00 everyday starting from tomorrow). Tick the check box Periodic job in the bottom and click on "periodic values" button and select the option as daily and save it. Then click on "Restrictions" button to specify the factory calander. The Tcode for calander is SCAL, where you can see all the factory calanders in the system and you can choose that suits your requirement. Save the changes and navigate back to process chain maintaince screen and click on "Schedule" button.
Now your chain is automated for trigger

User wants to schedule the process chain - what is the best practice

I posted earler and got the anwser.
Create a custom ABAP program that calls the RSPC_API_CHAIN_START Function Module, with a selection for the Process Chain where your user can enter the Meta Chain name to start the process.
To make it simpler for the user to execute this, create a custom tcode for them in SE93, so that they logon to your BW environment, call up that tcode, enter the Meta Chain name and execute. With this, they wouldn't have to have access to RSPC.
I did the above and the user not able to execute it since he doesn't have access to the cube/dso to update the cube.
To overcome this I wrote another abap program and used the
SUBMIt program user ALEREMOTE
and there is a problem.I called the process chain start program using ALEREMOTE .
Now the user needs access to authorization object S_BTCH_NAM and authorization field BTCUNAME with value ALEREMOTE.
So again due to SOX the basis doesn't want to give the necessary access.
What is the best solution.
How in general if the user needs to execute the process chain how they do it.
Please let me know. Thanks for your help in advance.
Senthil

Hi Senthil
In general production scenerio, we do not run process chain manually. To execute a process chain you should have necessary authorization. As you have assigned alertmote in the start variant, any user other thatn that will not be able to trigger the same.
Instead of alertmote , use the nornal start variant to trigger the process chain and give the user the normal authorization. Whenever user wants to run the infopackage manually or via process chain they should have the auth to view the infoprovider content as well....
