Unschedule Local Process chain from meta chain

Hi There,
We have a meta chain, in which there are several local chains one for each process area. Due to a transport I have to unschedule one local chain and let the other local chains run. Please let me know what is best way to do it?
Thanks,
Raju

Hi.
You can maintain the start variant of the local chain and switch it to Direct Scheduling. You can leave it in the "Master" chain and let that one run normally, however, your local chain will fail and no following chain will be triggered. So this approach could only be used if your local chain is a dead-end.
I would consider making a copy and delete the local chain. Then run this one. Make the copy either right in production, because it is an exception anyway, or in development and transport to prod. Switch to running the copy in either case and switch back to original chain and delete the copy (again either straight in prod or in dev and transport the deletion).

Copy process Chain with Meta chain

Hi experts,
how to copy the process chain with Meta chain, since the process chain which I planing to copy it hold meta chain and also local chain, I coping for change the technical name for the PC, is it possible to copy meta chain and local chain along with PC?
and plz breif me about meta chain and local chain why we have to use them and where we have to use them?
plz explain with scenario.
Thanks,

Hi,
Once after the copy of the chains you need to change the start variant with the new one as the same start process can not be used in two process chains at the same time.
So Once after changing the start process for your MC and LC then you are good to go ahead to trigger the same.
If you trigger the MC then it will take care of trigerring the LC automatically.
In terms of changes in the process chain, you can get the last changed details in the log view but you can track the timestamp of changes from the process chain tables like (RSPC* and then press F4). But you can not track which process has been changed in this.

I have one meta chain.that meta chain have 5 local chains 2 local is failed

Dear All,
i have one meta chain.that meta chain have 5 local chains 2 local is failed in the mddle. 3,4,5 chains were went successful.i knoe the solution hoe to correct. i want to execute rest of process of the second chain only. i dont want to 3rd , 4th and Fifth. i can not do Manully for evry process chain in the second chain because second local chain is very big chain. i can not do repeat also .suppose if i go for repeat again 3rd , 4th ,5 thsteps will be execut.
hoe can i solve this issue.please guide me.

Hi
Right click on the green block, from where the next block is not triggering. Take the variant and instance value.
Goto table RSPCPROCESSLOG and give the variant and instance value as input. Check the state field value. It should be G (i.e. successfully completed) then only next block will be triggered.
If you want to start next block manually, goto function module RSPC_PROCESS_FINISH, give i_logid, i_type, i_variant and i_instance values from RSPCPROCESSLOG table and enter i_state value as G.
After executing the function module, next block of the process chain will automatically start.

Include Local Chains with Meta Chain

HI folks,
How to Include Local Chains with Meta Chain. Can I know the step by step with clear information?
If it is possiable send step by step creation screen shots.
Thanks & regards,
venkat vanarasi

Hi Venkat,
Goto RSPC->Double click the process chain that u want to include local chain -> click the process types->Under General serverices u can see->Local Process Chain -> Select the process chain that u want to include ->include it, activate and schedule.
Hope it will work..!!
Assign points please..............

How to include local chains into meta chain

Hi Experts,
Could any one pl help me how to include 3 local chains in to a meta chain.
first i am creating local chains
Thanks in Advance
Nitya
Please check the forum before posting
Edited by: Vikram Srivastava on Sep 24, 2010 4:43 PM

Hi Nitya
Nothing much to explain about it but any ways
First create separate chains for all 3 local chains and create a meta chain include all this 3 in that
Meta Chain steps:
If the chains are dependents on each other then create as below
Start process -> local chain1>local chain2-->local chain3.
If the chains are independent loads then
Start process ---> local chain 1,2,3 place it in parllel.
Precaution: ensure that you local chains start process should place the maintain process radio button set to "Start using meta chain or API".
Please find the help link for the same : [Creating process chains and schedules|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04s/helpdata/en/a4/1be541f321c717e10000000a155106/frameset.htm]
Hope its clear a little..!

Local chain, Meta chain, and Remote chain

Hi,
Can any one explain me what exactly is the difference among the process chains?
Meta chain is a process chain that calls the other process chain
Local chain is the PC included in any other Process types?
Cannot differentiate Local and meta chaisn now !
same is the case with remote process chains
Raj

Hi,
Metachain is a process chain, for which you determine this start condition, that is fixed to another process chain. The process chain is started directly by this metachain.If you start the start process using a metachain, it is not scheduled after you have activated the related process chain. The process chain is only started when the metachain, to which it is linked, is running. rocess chains can be scheduled as processes in additional process chains, which are known as meta chains. If the process chain you want to execute is in another system, use the process type Process Chain Remote, called remote process chain in the following. A remote process chain is a local process in the calling system that calls a process chain in this system, using a destination in another system, that is to be executed there. The remote process chain communicates with the other system and synchronously starts the executed process chain. After terminating the process chain in another system, this is reported back to the meta chain in the calling system. sing a remote process chain as the process of a metachain, you can schedule a process chain from another system in a process chain of the calling system.
Using a remote process chain as the process of a metachain, you can schedule a process chain from another system in a process chain of the calling system. In addition to remote process chains, you can also schedule local process chains as processes in a metachain. A local process chain consists of processes that are scheduled in the same system as the metachain. You schedule it as a process in the same system as the metachain.

Deleting process type from a Process Chain

Hi All,
We had a scenario wherin we needed to add some process types to an existing process chain.But after transporting it to quality we realized that we have added our process types to the wrong process chain.Now We have deleted our process types from the process chain and transported that chain after deleting the process types from the chain.But the types we have added are not getting deleted in Quality.Could someone help me with this...
Regards,
Shravani

Hi,
the process types that you have created in Development needs to be deleted in Developmet. Before deleting it will ask for a request. create a new request and transport that request to the Quality. Now you will find the Process types deleted in Quality.
Now get back to the Development system create the necesseary changes (add or remove the Process types or develop a new one) now transport the request to the Quality .
hope this will solve your problem

How can I find corresponding meta chain in RSPC

Hello Gurus,
I have a local process chain, how can I find corresponding meta chain in RSPC? and also I have already created a process chain, How can I changed the name of this process chain?
Many thanks,

Hi,
Basically all chains are same, but if you click on Start it will goto Start Process Screen there you can find Scheduling Options, in that Direct Scheduling is selected so it is Main Chain (Meta Chain), if it is Starting using Meta Chain API is selected then it is local chain in that meta chain.
Note: Basicall all Chains are same based on above differnecce you can find it.
By Looking at Chain we can decide it is it Meta chain or Norma Chain, if you open RSPC and then Open any Chain If it is having
Start-->Local , then it is Meta Chain and Local is Norma Chain.
Thanks

Meta Chain in a meta chain

Hi Folks,
I have one meta chain which has master data loads local chains and then has an atrib change run and then a Transaction data meta chain in it.
The transaction data meta chain has many local chains. After the first two local chains, theres an AND condition and then the next set of local chains are scheduled.
Problem is that after the AND, the next set of local chains are not triggered. I have included preceeding event based triggers as scheduling paramters.
Why does the next set of local chains stop? Is it normal to have meta chains inside meta chains?? And have u come across a unknown job that gets created named BI_PROCESS_TRIGGER in case of event based triggering??
Thanks in advance
Regards
Prakash

Hi Prakash,
Meta chain in a Meta chain will work most of the times. Very rarely does it give problems. When ever we have a similar problem as you have described. We go into each meta chain and trigger them manually for that day. Once the chains are all run. We Deschedule the Entire Main chain, check if there are any released jobs for each Meta Chain/process steps, delete these released jobs. Then we activate and schedule the Main chain, this resolves our problem and the chains runs without issues the following days.

Praveen.

Meta Chains

Dear Gurus,
Is there any kind of "How to.." document of Meta Chains which can guide me through.
Thanks in anticipation.

Hi
Process Chain: A process chain is used to trigger different process (Info Package,Attribute change run,compress request.,activate request(ODS) in a sequence according to requirment
Meta Chain: In a similar way like process chain but used to trigger different process chains in a sequence according to requirment

Schedule Local process chain (by fac calender) in a daily meta chain

Hello SAP Gurus,
We have a meta chain (e.g. M1) which runs daily. Within this meta chain (M1), a local process chain (e.g. LP1) is attached. This LP1 should run once a month on a Monday (defined in factory calendar). Please note LP1 can not be scheduled separately by factory calendar, as it depend on few activities in daily meta chain. I think LP1 can be scheduled by using the decision in meta chain. I have rough idea of the formula, but not sure. Can you please suggest what should be the suitable formula in decision to schedule it.
Example formula:
DATE_WEEKDAY1(Current Date, 'P1' ) = '1'
Where
DATE_WEEKDAY1 = Calculate weekday Number from Date
P1 = Factory Calendar for one year. Only 12 days (Monday) are open. For example 17 Jan, 14 Feb 2011, etc

No need to change schedule for the entire meta chain. U should schedule local process chain separately.
For local chain change mode
Right click 'Start Variant' -> Maintain variant -- Direct Scheduling -- Change Selections
Enter Date/Time... Select periodic Job
Periodic Values -- Other period -- enter 8 for Hour(s)
If u r using company calender -- Select 'Restrictions' -- enter Calender ID
Save -- Activate - Schedule
Local PC will run for every 8 hrs from the time u specified, and also run in metachain (once in a day if metachain runs daily)

Local process chain used in Meta chain

Hi,
Suppose there is a Local process chain (X), and in it has scheduling options "Start using meta chain or API" selected. How can I know which meta chain is using this local chain.
Something similar functionlity of "Where used list" which can give a list of meta chains where this local process chain (X) is used.
Thanks.

Hi Lohana,
I think there no such functionality.
Local chains means just you are calling from some other chain. But that it self a process chain. You are just linking in the chain through Local mode.

Stopping local chain from the meta chain

Hi ,
Can any one let me know is there any option to stop a local chain from the meta chain....
I have a meta chain in which 13 local chains are there.
In those 13 chains i want to stop one particular chain ,but i dont want to delete that local chain from the meta chain.
and below this local chain another dependent chain is also there.
which will start execute after that chain(which i want to delete)irrespective of the status whether the above chain is pass or fail.
can any one help me in this regards
Thanks in advance.

No, you cannot . The best solution I have is to change the local chain to bypass all activity in the local chain. This way the meta chain will run but nothing will happen within the local chain and the meta chain will continue to the next local chain.
Hope this helps.
PS- Another idea, change the meta chain and replace the local chain with an ABAP program which will execute the local chain (use FM RSPC_CHAIN_START). Then you can change the ABAP program to decide whether or not to execute the local chain.

Actually, you might be able to do something creative using "Decision Between Multiple Alternatives".

Local process chain is Removed from schduling

Hi firends,
when i try to schdule my global process chain whats
happening is
saying that:
1.version 'm' of chain zprocess_stor was saved without
checking
2.version 'A' of chain zprocess_stor was saved without
checking
3.chain is removed from scduling(means local chain)
i saved the local process chains,global process chains and activated also
but agian it is giving the same error,
can anyone plz give me solution urgent for me
Regards,

Hi Gunasekhar,
Before activating try checking the process chain. the process chain may have some errors.
Hope it helps.

Hi Gunasekhar,
Check in system log for the job to see why the background process is being removed. If the issue is unique job count, check sap Note 784969 - The RSBTCDEL2 program and sap Note - 942804
this should help solve this issue.
