Unable to start the process chain

Hi ,
I am trying to start a process chain manually , but it gives me a message saying process has no predecesssor ?
what should be done to start the chain?

Did you copy processes from another chain? Sometimes when this happens, you end up copying all the processes.
First, remove the process chain from scheduling. In RSPC, at the top, select Process Chain --> Remove from Schedule. This will delete all the batch jobs for the process chain.
Next, move all the processes in the process chain with your mouse. Sometimes the maintenance will put one process on top of another so you cannot see them all. By moving all the processes, you may find the "unattached" process so you can remove it from the process chain.
Hope it helps..

Unable to start Oracle Process Manager from the windows services for OBIEE

Hi,
I have OBIEE 11g installed on a 32-bit windows machine. Of the two windows services installed, I am unable to start the Oracle Process Manager. When I try to start it I get the following error:
Error 1053: The service did not respond to the start or control request in a timely fashion.
At the back end, this service is calling the file opmn.exe which is placed at MIDDLEWAREHOME\Oracle_BI1\opmn\bin. On trying to execute this file the error we get is:
The procedure entry point longjmp could not be located in the dynamic link library orauts.dll
I have tried replacing the orauts.dll file, but to no avail.
Please let me know if you have any clue regarding what is to be done.
Thanks
Naman

Hi Naman,
This error occurs for the following reasons,
*Path variable is not set properly
*Multiple Oracle homes exists in the same machine.
Follow the below steps and let me know if it works,
1. Select My Computer -> Right Click -> Properties
2. In the System Properties screen go to Advanced Tab
3. Click on Environment Variables
4. In the System Variables section select PATH variable & Click edit
5. Now you will find that it will contain invalid directories. Remove the incorrect entries. This may happen when you have multiple oracle homes in the same machine
6. Restart the service.

Unable to alter the process. Unable to execute action start and stop

Hi,
I have setup a UCM CMS server on Linux. In the UCM instaance I setup If I go to Admin Server, the Genral configuration page contains no entry. While the file Config.cfg present in the directory Oracle/UCM/Server/Config/ contains all the entries I provided during the setup.
Now when I am trying to start/stop the UCM instance, it is giving me error " Request Failed : Unable to alter the process. Unable to execute action 'stop' on server 'EBIZ_UCM'." While If I try to restart the server using IdcServer present at the location Oracle/UCM/Server/bin/, it is getting started.
While clicking on the Component Manager, its giving error like :
" Unable to retrieve component data. Components.hda exists, but contains no data. ".
Please suggest.

I know this is an old thread, but I ran across this while having a similar problem. It turned out that I had started the admin server incorrectly (e.g. running /apps/oracle/ucm/server/admin/bin/IdcAdmin instead of /apps/oracle/ucm/server/admin/etc/idcadmin_start). Once I corrected that the problem went away.

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.

Getting the Metric evaluation error start - Unable to run the process

Hi,
I am getting the below error:
Metric evaluation error start - Unable to run the process
We are using the Grid Control for monitoring purposes, and we get this error frequently from different databases. Please do let me know if anyone have faced this error before or know about it. Any kind of help is greatly appreciated!
Thanks.

Where are you seeing this error?
Can you confirm the target exists (check targets.xml on the agent) and that the instance of the target has it defined correctly (all the required instance properties are there)?
Given that those check out, can you open up the metric browser on the agent and make sure the target looks ok there.

Error while executing the Process chain

Hi Friends,
The process chain that I scheduled is getting failed at the Infopackage loading stage.
On checking the diplay message, I found the following log:
Cannot stage requested data for datasource
Error in source system
I activated the datasource in source system, then replicated the same and tried to load data.
But the issue remains the same.
I checked in RSA7. The status corresponding to this datasource is in yellow status.
Can I delete this entry and try again?
Please suggest.
Thanks in advance.

2. Error in unit conversion

3.Error 1 in update
When Src file is already open or not accessible.
4.Processing no data
theres no data selected after extraction
5.Caller 70 missing
" This error normally occurs whenever BW encounters error and is not able to classify them. There could be multiple reasons for the same
1) Whenever we are loading the Master Data for the first time, it creates SIDs. If system is unable to create SIDs for the records in the Data packet, we can get this error message.
2) If the Indexes of the cube are not deleted, then it may happen that the system may give the caller 70 error.
3)Whenever we are trying to load the Transactional data which has master data as one of the Characteristics and the value does not exist in Master Data table we get this error. System can have difficultly in creating SIDs for the Master Data and also load the transactional data.
4) If ODS activation is taking place and at the same time there is another ODS activation running parallel then in that case it may happen that the system may classify the error as caller 70. As there were no processes free for that ODS Activation.
5) It also occurs whenever there is a Read/Write occurring in the Active Data Table of ODS. For example if activation is happening for an ODS and at the same time the data loading is also taking place to the same ODS, then system may classify the error as caller 70.
6) It is a system error which can be seen under
the Status tab in the Job Over View.
solution:
" If the Master Data is getting loaded for the first time then in that case we can reduce the Data Package size and load the Info Package. Processing sometimes is based on the size of Data Package. Hence we can reduce the data package size and then reload the data again. We can also try to split the data load into different data loads
If the error occurs in the cube load then we can try to delete the indexes of the cube and then reload the data again.
If we are trying to load the Transactional and Master Data together and this error occurs then we can reduce the size of the Data Package and try reloading, as system may be finding it difficult to create SIDs and load data at the same time. Or we can load the Master Data first and then load Tranactional Data
If the error is happening while ODS activation cause of no processes free, or available for processing the ODS activation, then we can define processes in the T Code RSCUSTA2.
If error is occurring due to Read/Write in ODS then we need to make changes in the schedule time of the data loading.
Once we are sure that the data has not been extracted completely, we can then go ahead and delete the red request from the manage tab in the InfoProvider. Re-trigger the InfoPackage again.
Monitor the load for successful completion, and complete the further loads if any in the Process Chain.
6.Idoc not processed completely.
Here the request remains yellow (in process) and with the same details (as seen in the details tab of the monitor) for an abnormally long time. Many-a-times, the port for communication is not open and re-starting the load helps. For long running jobs, it may not be advisable to restart the extraction
Contact the BASIS administrator to push the IDOC.

Event is not getting triggered in the process chain

Hi,
We had a process chain which was triggered by an Event, and it was running fine until few days ago. So I removed the chain from schedule and re-scheduled it again with these details:
File load: every 2 hrs
Process chain setting
Immediate tab: start immediately
After event: "event name" and "parameter name" and periodic job: ticked
I activated the chain and scheduled it. But the event is not triggered and the chain does not start. I even tried to trigger the process chain manually in sm64 but the process chain did not start.
Can someone please tell me steps to automate the event triggering and also any setting that should be taken care off in the info package and the process chain.
Thanks In advance.
Ram

Hello Ram, to start your Process Chain by an event, then you need to maintain the Start process of the process chain.
Select "Direct Scheduling".
In the Change Selections, press After Event. Put your event name and parameter (if any). Also click on Periodic job.
Press Save. Then Activate and Schedule your process chain. All your processes should turn green.
To verify, right-click on the Start process and select Displaying Scheduled Job(s).... You should see a job called BI_PROCESS_TRIGGER in a Released status. You can click on the job and look at the start conditions.
When you go to trigger the event, use the same event name and parameter (if any) as in the start condition. Your process chain will then execute. To insure, use RSPC to view your process chain and press the Logs icon (last one at the top).

Error while designing the Process Chains

Hi All,
I have a issue on Process Chains.
In my Project there are 2 ODS.
ODS 1 : Status Header ODS (ZODS)
ODS 2 : Service Order Header. (0CRM_PROH)
In CRM, if any Service Order is created, it is available in delta Queue(RSA7) immediately.
While loading the data to ODS 2(Service Order),it is checking the data from status ODS 1(Status ODS)
For Example, I am loading the data of service Order 80001 to ODS 2(0CRM_PROH). Before loading to ODS 2, i am checking whether this service Order Number(80001) is available in ODS 1.
If the service Order 80001 is there in ODS 1, it will update the data to ODS 2.
If the service order 80001 is not there in ODS 1, it will not Update the data to ODS 2.
Problem i am facing :
1. First i am loading the data to ODS 1 (Status ODS). Early Morning 2.30AM and it completes the data load at 2.40AM. And document posting is happening on 2.37AM and ODS 1 doesnt pull the data of document posted.
2. Once the ODS 1 is completed, by 2.41AM, the data loading will happen for ODS 2 (Service Order Header).It brings all the data including the document posted on 2.37AM.
3.While loading all the data is available, and while loading to ODS 2, it is checking the status ODS. And it is checking for the document posted on 2.37AM and this document is not there in Status ODS 1 and the data(posted on 2.37AM) will not update in ODS 2.
Because of this, some records are missing in ODS 2. And while loading, we cant stop the document posting also.
How can i achieve this using the process Chain.
Design i have tried in Process Chain :
1. Start Variant.
2. Load Infopackage to PSA only for ODS 2.
3. Load Infopackage to PSA and activate ODS for ODS 1 (Status ODS)
4. Read PSA (of ODS 2) to Load data to ODS 2.
5. Activate the ODS.
I tried, but i got a error message while designing the process Chains.
No type "Activate DataStore Object Data" process can be in front of process "Read PSA and Update Data Target" variable PSA_SERVICE_ORDER in the chain
Pls suggest how to recify this according to my design.
Thanks & Regards,
Ram.

Hi,
You can try this..
.......................................... Start ...................................................
Load data to PSA (ODS 2) ..................................... Load data to PSA (ODS 1)
..................................................................................Load data to ODS 1
...................................................................................Activate ODS 1
........................................... AND ..........................................................
........................................ Load data to ODS 2 .............................................
.......................................... Activate ODS 2 ...........................................

Warning Error message while scheduling the Process Chain

Dear All,
I have created the meta Chain, which contains 7 Local Chains. I have tested this chain in BI Development and Quality. It was working fine. I have moved this Meta Chain to production. While i am trying to schedule this chain, i got the warning message.
Too many parallel processes for chosen server BICI
Message no. RSPC118
Diagnosis
On the server TVSBICI you have chosen, there are only 0 batch processes available. The process chain has been designed in such as way that 3 processes must be processed parallel.
System Response
Only 0 processes can be processed parallel. Note also that to be able to start sub-chains, AT LEAST TWO free batch processes must be available. Otherwise a lock situation may arise.
For more information, see SAP Note 621400.
Procedure
Reduce the number of parallel processes in the chain or include sub- chains. This warning applies to all relevant processes.
Procedure for System Administration
Increase the number of batch processes available. You should note however that it makes no sense to set up more batch processes than there are CPUs on server BICI.
Pls help on this issue.
Thanks,
Siva.

Hi,
take a look:
Data Warehousing
"Errors occurred during post-handling RS_AFTER_IMPORT for MPRO L "
Errors occurred during post-handling RS_AFTER_IMPORT for ROUT L
Try to set the Process Chain Start to Immediate(background jobs) in the schedule, because this will trigger the process chain once tranported and may cause similar errors.

HOW TO STOP THE PROCESS CHAIN WHICH IS RUNNING IN THE PRODUCTION?

HI ALL,
CAN ANYONE TELL ME HOW TO STOP THE PROCESS CHAIN WHICH IS RUNNING DAILY AT 5.00 PM. I NEED TO STOP THE PROCESS CHAIN FOR COUPLE OF DAYS AND THEN RESTART IT AGAIN.
cAN ANYONE TELL ME THE PROCEDURE TO STOP THE ENTIRE PROCESS CHAIN RUNNING IN THE PRODUCTION.
THANKS
HARITHA

Hi,
First and foremost let me advice you to be very careful while doing this.
For Rescheduling
RSPC> chain > Goto > Planning view and
click on Execution tab > select > Remove from Schedule and then in Maintain variant of start process reschedule for the day you require it to run.
For terminating active chain
You can start from SM37, find the process WID/PID then go to SM50 or SM51 and kill it. Once its done come back to RSMO and check the request, it should be red but again manually force to red and save by clicking on the total status button in the status tab. This shuld ensure that the process is killed properly.
The next step will be to go to targets that you were loading and remove the red requests from those targets.
Note: For source system loads you may have to check if the request is running in the source system and kill if needed and pull it again.
But for BW datamart delta loads u may have reset the datamarts in case u are going to pull the delta again.
