Wait step in BPM stops the process permanently

Hi all.
I have a BPM with a Wait Step inside. When the process reaches the wait step the process gets locked permanently.
I execute TCODE SM12, remove the lock for the process and the process finishes without errors.
Why does the BPM hangs with the wait step? Could anybody help me with this issue.
Thanks a lot,
Gari.

Hi Gökhan.
I'm using SP12. The Self-test about BPE in RWB reports error for "Schedule Background Job for Packaging" and "Schedule Background Job for Reorganization". Details for the error say "Background job for packaging is not required".
Thanks,
Gari.

How to add a Wait Step in BPM for the synchronous send step

Hi,
we have a scenario where in one of the step in BPM is a synchronous step which sends data to ECC system and gets the Respose .
The Requirement is that we need to add a wait for the Synchronous step in BPM as the data sent to RFC(ECC) need to get comitted before sendng the response which requires some wait time.
Currently we are getting the Response to PI from ECC where it was reported as the response is not correct.
Is this possible to add wait

> Is this possible to add wait
No, this does not make any sense.
The BPM waits for the response anyway.
You could change the scenario to an asynchonous pair of messages.
But in my opinion the error is inside the ECC, because the response from ECC is not correct.

Hi,
At times even I have faced this situation. During those times, running the Function module RSPC_PROCESS_FINISH by passing the right parameters came to my rescue.

HELP - Receiving error message "The file has not been processed. An error has occurred which stopped the processing of the PDF"

Have been using Adobe CreatePDF for many months successfully.
Only recently over the past few days I have been experiencing errors for periods between 3-5 hours on every attempt to convert/combine files. The error reads: "The file has not been processed. An error has occurred which stopped the processing of the PDF"
It will stay like this and no amount of refreshing the cache, logging in and out will help. I'm running Firefox 34.0.5, windows 7 64bit. Only solution I've found is to wait until the next day and it seems to be working again. Only explanation i can think of is some unexplained maintenance adobe is running behind the scenes because I'm often working late between 12am - 4am.
When this problem happens, no file types will convert/combine I've tested JPEG, PDF and word docs to PDF.
I log in and out of my account, I've cleared my cache, I'm using Firefox 34.0.5 which has always worked in the past I just don't understand how this error is happening for such long periods. Starting to reconsider this product when there are free alternatives to simply combine my PDF docs! please help.
Tom.

I am still experiencing this problem. Customer service from Adobe has been abysmal!
I called Adobe tech support at 2am Australian time ( >1 weeks ago) and got onto a help centre in India. I was walked through all the troubleshooting steps and they remotely accessed my PC and confirmed that It was not my PC that was at fault. They reset my password and dialed into my adobe account from their end to attempt a simple conversion and export to PDF which failed. I was told that this problem is not something they can fix, and is a result of something on the back end of their software.
They advised me that the problem would be passed to a fixed within 12 hours and they would call and email me to confirm everything was OK. I gave my phone number with (area and country code) my email but have not had any communication back.
I am extremely dissatisfied, and just want this software to function. Is that too much to ask?
Note: This problem is happening always now, regardless of time being used.

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.

Problem in stopping the process for a while

Hi all,
I am facing problem in stopping the process when i call *.exe from java. here i am explaning my problem in detail.

problem is when i call m1() it will create temp.txt , but by the time i call m2() temp.txt is saving into the disk and m2() is not able to find the file.
here what i need is there should be some time gap to before i call m2(); and i tried even with
p.waitfor(); in m1() -if i use this the program is not exiting out of runtime??
any one kindly hepl me

    private WaitForTest(){
        try {
            Process p = Runtime.getRuntime().exec("sol.exe");
            System.out.println("Waiting....");

How to Stop The Process of oRecordSet.DoQuery()

Hi all..
I would like to ask 1 question.
When program is executing the query passed as a parameter to oRecordSet.DoQuery(), is there any way we can stop the process by clicking on cancel button or other events?
thx.

Hi all..
thx for your quick replies.
Coz currently im doing SDK module which requires to process alot of data..and the process of inserting and updating to DB is kinda complicated. So basically, i use transaction to start and when i encounter error, i will rollback.
Let's say if client run the program and suddenly realized that he/she gives wrong input and wants to cancel the whole process.What can i do? Client may say that button 'Cancel' is actually quite confusing because cancel is self-explanatory term to cancel process, but in SAP BO, it's actually to quit the form.
I once thought of using thread, however, the event to trigger thread to stop will have to wait until the process done. so it's quite complicated

How to stop the process for some time

I want to stop the process for some time can any one give the package or keyword or example for the same
For suppose two programs A and B.. .B will run based on output of A. What i need is... When A is executed the process will stop for 5mins then B has to execute...

You can use signals with DBMS_ALERT to "wake up" a procedure.
Procedure A is something like this:
DBMS_ALERT.REGISTER('B_FINISHED');
do logic...
when finished - send a signal
DBMS_ALERT.SIGNAL('A_FINISHED','B you can start');
now wait until B is finished
DBMS_ALERT.WAITANY(...)
continue logic hereAnd Procedure B is
DBMS_ALERT.REGISTER('A_FINISHED');
wait for a to finish
DBMS_ALERT.WAITANY(...);
do logic...
when finished, signal A it can continue
DBMS_ALERT.SIGNAL('B_FINISHED','A can continue');This is useful if u they need to wait for each other within the code. if they just need to wait - call B from A.
Hope this helps.

How to Stop the process chain if it in the middle of the process?

Is there anyway that i can stop the process chain if it is in the middle of the process already?

Different Ways to stop process chain
1)SM37 -->Kill Job
2)SM50/sm66- ->Kill process
3)RSPC>Job Log>Make the process RED forecefully.
4)RSPC>Process chain> main Menu"Remove from Scheduling" OR
5)se37-->RSPC_API_CHAIN_INTERRUPT
give RFC BW system name(technical) and process chain name(technical)
Steps 1 -3 stops the chain running in process
Steps 4-5 stops the chain AFTER the current job which is running is completed as sucessful or Failure by nature.
Rationale - 4-5
This function will only remove the jobs from schedule, which did not yet run. It will not kill running jobs, as this may leave the system in an inconsistent state, moreover killing processes is possible for synchronous processes only anyhow. This means, that there will be no errors with interrupted chains, which on the other
hand means an interrupted chain is not restartable. So for a running chain this function is intended to be an emergency break only. You can use it, however, to remove a scheduled chain from schedule, such that it does not start except by your product.
