What in Natural Number in the Planning View of Process Chains

Hi Experts,
Can anyone explain what is Natural number column in the Planning View of the Process Chain?
Thanks,
Rajan

Hello,
I am a new user. Using SAP BW 7. When I select planning view I would like to see a chain X in gray. How can I? I noticed that the natural number in grayed chains is 3 instead of 0: perhaps this is the procedure? I have to change the natural number?
Help me!
Thanks for answer!

What are the varoius type of process chain errors how we can solve them.

Hi,
I need to work with process chains maintainace , Can any body tell me what are the different type of process chain errors generelly we used to get ,how we can solve them . IF possible please provide me any document also so that i can solve my
abnormal problems for process chain errors.
Thanks in advance .

Hi,
1) Invalid characters while loading: When you are loading data then you may get some special characters like @#$%...e.t.c.then BW will throw an error like Invalid characters then you need to go through this RSKC transaction and enter all the Invalid chars and execute. It will store this data in RSALLOWEDCHAR table. Then reload the data. You won't get any error because now these are eligible chars done by RSKC.
2) IDOC Or TRFC Error: We can see the following error at u201CStatusu201D Screen:Sending packages from OLTP to BW lead to errorsDiagnosisNo IDocs could be sent to the SAP BW using RFC.System responseThere are IDocs in the source system ALE outbox that did not arrive in the ALE inbox of the SAP BW.Further analysis:Check the TRFC log.You can get to this log using the wizard or the menu path "Environment -> Transact. RFC -> In source system".Removing errors:If the TRFC is incorrect, check whether the source system is completely connected to the SAP BW. Check especially the authorizations of the background user in the source system.Action to be taken:If Source System connection is OK Reload the Data.

Removing the "target server" from process chain jobs

Dear SAP Community,
Please note we are on BW version 3.5
We have a very large number of process chains that are used to load data in the production environment. Many of those process chains have a "target server" specified, so that the jobs will run only on the central instance.
A new application server has just been added to the environment, and we want to remove the "target server" definition so that the dispatcher will be free to load balance the process chain jobs.
We can see the attributes for each process chain are stored in a table called RSPCCHAINATTR.
Please let me know: can we update the value of field SERVER in table RSPCCHAINATTR, to set it to blank using SQL-PLUS ?
And then can we run a /$sync to bring these changes up into the application layer ?
This would save tons of time & manual effort, and it would set the target server to blank for all of the process chains at once, instead of clicking manually so many times to clear the value for each process chain.
Please let me know if we can take this approach ? Is there any chance of the process chains becoming inactive by doing this ?
We want to set the "target server" = blank in all cases, instead of manually clicking into each and every process chain.
Please let me know, thanks.

Check tcode RSBATCH, If I'm not wrong all process types are assigned to central server. Remove that server name and save.
Now, If u execute process chain, system will prompt you assign server/host name. To skip this follow the below.
Again use RSBATCH, under 'Background and Parallel Processes' tab, click 'Switch Off F4 Popup for Server/Host/Group', enter * (star) under Users for 'Users for Whom NO Server/Host/Group Popup Should be Processed'.
Now, If u execute process chain, it should run on either of servers.
Since u added Appln Server, best bet would be creating a server group. See the below link.

In which case it'll be that Access has a different date format to MySQL, and you're trying to push the string "'25-Apr-12 10:55 PM" into Access, which it's not understanding. To get around this, you need to treat your variable as a true date/time object, rather than a formatted string.
CFQueryParams should be used on absolutely every database platform, they'll stop your website being vulnerable to SQL Injection attacks for one, which at the moment you're wide open to. Replace your query with something like this:
<cfquery name="input_comments" datasource="#DSN#" username="#DSNUSER#" password="#DSNPASS#">
      INSERT INTO comments(
                         commenter,
                         comment,
                         datetime,
                         post_id
               VALUES(
                         <cfqueryparam cfsqltype="cf_sql_varchar" value="#form.commenter#" />,
                         <cfqueryparam cfsqltype="cf_sql_varchar" value="#form.comment#" />,
                         now(),
                         <cfqueryparam cfsqltype="cf_sql_numeric" value="#form.post_id#" /> )
</cfquery>
The QueryParams will handle the data types for you, and should pass values around more safely and with fewer issues. Assuming you just want to store the current date and time you don't even need to get ColdFusion involved, as databases have their own functions for this. I believe Access' version is simply NOW(), so I've put that in your query.
Give the above a go.

Pls. explain what is Split number and the Capacity ID 10000426

When I switching the network activity to TECO, the system throws an error There are CATS records for the object to be deleted. However we have transferred all the CATS records, but in CATSDB table found Split number as 1 and there is Capacity ID 10000426.
Can anyone explain what is Split number and how to check the created Capacity ID 10000426
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Harisha

Hi
A "split" is a resource assigned to your network activity
You are assigning 1 or more individuals to perform that activity
In CJ20N view the splits using the Personnel Tab of the Network Activity
Each person assigned to undertake that Activity is a split
So the first person assigned will be split 1 and the second split 2 and so on
If I remember correctly the Capacity ID is the internal no of the Person you have assigned to that Split (but I may be mistaken and it moght be the actual HR Mini Master No)
With regards to your particular issue OSS note 894300 may help
Hope this helps

How to identify what are all the errors appears in process chain,

Hi all,
i have a process chain running, but i want to find out what are all the errors that the process chain has thrown
thanks
pooja

Hi Pooja,
Errors in monitoring:
SID error
Reason: If the corresponding master data is missing for the particular transaction data.
         1. Check for the load timing for the respective master data, if it less than an hour then make the request red and repeat the ip.
         2. If the data is loaded to PSA then you have to delete the request from target and manually push the data to from PSA.
         3. If we are required for selective update then note down the info source from header and find it in RSA1,select the one with Single as postfix.
         4. Goto data selection tab and change the range.
Tip: change the last 4 digits for from to 0000and the last 4 digit for to     9999.
        5. Repeat the ip.
         6. In case only of failure in one target goto RSA1 find the PSA, put he request no. and reschedule it.
Note: IF PSA is present never make the request red rather delete it.
Replication error
Reason: Data source replication Failed.
         1. In order to handle this error you should be known to IP, info source and source system.
         2. Goto RSA1, find the data source in the source sys tab.
         3. Right click on the data source and replicate it.
         4. Since all the transformation rules pertaining to this data source need to be reactivated so go to SE38 and execute rs_transtru_activat_all, data source and sys name.
         5. Delete the red request from the target.
Update R not supported
Reason: The corresponding initialization flag for the ip is lost.
         1. Goto header click on the ip and goto schedule tab and click initialize in the source system, whatever screen appears delete the only request present(the initialization flag).
         2. Goto RSA1, find the ip in the info source (one with the Adhoc initialize flag).
         3. Goto update tab and select Initialize delta process try going for with data transfer.
         4. Reschedule the IP.
Duplicate Record Error
Reason: Duplicate error records for the loaded master data.
         1. Goto info package via header or via RSA1.
         2. Goto processing tab and change the ip setting, selecting only PSA and ignore duplicate records and re run the ip.
         3. Do remember to change the ip settings back to the original once after the second step.
ODS activation failure
Reason: Prerequisites for ODs activation not satisfied i.e. unique key.
         1. Goto maintain variant.
         2. Check for the QM status of the requests in the target they should be green.
         3. Then click the ODS activation tab.
         4. In the screen which appears put the requests for which ODS activation failed.
         5. Activate these and keep on refreshing them until status reverts from green,
Remember to refresh these requests one at a time.
         6. If requests are red then delete them from target.
         7. Reschedule the IP.
Note: Never Try activating ODS manually if it is Y1.
Aggregate Rollup error
Reason: No aggregate found for the respective rollup.
         1. Click on the variant in which the error occurred.
         2. Goto chain tab and copy the variant and instance.
         3. Run the nestle provided program YBW05.
         4. Put in info in there and put the status as g green.
         5. Execute and refresh the status.
Lock issue
Reason: The same ip is been locked by other user or may be used by other process chain.
         1. We can see the locked entries and in the transaction SM12.
         2. Wait for the other process to get complete once the ip loads to target in that process then there is no need for running it for the process.
         3. In other case make the request red, when PSA is present then goto environment tab ->schedule->initiate update.
         4. In the box appears select update in the background.
         5. And the manually update the failed IPs by selecting manual update in the context menu.
Alfa confirming value error, Time conversion error, Chain didnt start, Delay due to long running job, Poor system performance,Heirarchy node exist in duplicate.
Reasons:
Alfa confirming error: Data format mismatch.
Time conversion error: Date, time format mismatch.
Chain didnt start: A scheduled chain didnt triggered at the prescribed timing.
-For all the above error we have to raise a ticket.
Idoc or TRFC error
Reason: An Idoc is been stuck somewhere.
         1. Reload the Master Data manually again from Info-package at RSA1.
         2. Release the Idoc.
         3. In the source system level got environment->transaction->Transaction RFC or Data ware housing level.
         4. In the Screen if the status is Transaction Recorded it means its stuck goto edit and click Execute LUW or press F6.
         5. If status is Transaction executing then it means its fine wait.
         6. Or raise ticket.
Error Due to short Dump
Reason: Error due to Short dump could be due to many reasons i.e. memory, table space, lock, error record, page allocation, failed change run.
Process terminated in the Source system.
           Reason: Sometimes we face that a load has failed due to job Termination at Source System.
      This happens due to unavailability of the source system or some connectivity problem between source and target systems.
1.      Make the request red.
2.      Delete the request from the data target.
3.      Reschedule the ip.
4.      If still the job fails raise the ticket.

Excluding appraisee from the planning phase appraisal process

Hi
Our client wants to exclude the employee (appraisee) from the planning phase in the case of displinary appraisal process.
So is it possible to configure a appraisal model in a way where the appraisee can only see the document when status has been set to 'In process' - this way only the appraiser can see(and maintain) the document when it is being prepared and planned.
I have looked into the anonymous settings but it does not cover our requirements.
Do you have any hint for us?
Thank you in advance.
Best regards
Hanne

Hi Sarah
Thank you for input.
I have looked into the hiding of colomns - but we want to make the planning of the whole document a secret to the appraisee. So it is only when in process phase, that the appraisee should be able to see that the manager has created the appraisal form.
Do you see a solution for this case?
Best regards
Hanne

What's "Please wait while the document is being processed" mean ?

When open a WebI report and click "Refresh Data", then "Please wait while the document is being processed" prompt page be poped up.
Does it mean datas had been refreshed completely when the prompt page disappeared?

When you hit "Refresh Data" button the data will be fetched. If you have lov's in the report then all the lov's data will be fetched and the report data is refreshed accordingly to the lov's fetched.If you hit the refresh data button again without changing the lov values then the report data is fetched for the cache and will be refreshed

What is the transaction to see "Process Chain Hierarchy"

Hello experts,
I would like to see the process chain hierarchy. Do you know the transaction which edit all the above hierarchy from a name of process chain.
For example, I have a chain called ZFG_SALES_ATTR_01 and would like to get all the chain which depends on ZFG_SALES_ATTR_01.
Regards,
Santos,

Thnaks for your answer.
The transaction RSPC does not meet my needs because it gives the top of the hierarchy and it is not really practical if you are looking for a chain from the bottom of chain to the top.

Any ideas on this plan for a process chain?

Hi,
I have 6 ODSes. I load these on a daily basis with 6 different flat files. ODS1, ODS2 and ODS3 needs to be loaded first before ODS4, ODS5, ODS6.
Once all six ODSes are loaded, they are then aggregated based on some two key fields to and loaded into a cube. Npw I want to automate the process.
Can you please check if my plan for the process chain is right:
1. Start Process:
direct Scheduling
Change Selections:
Start date & Time
Period Jobs: check
Periodic Values: Daily
Restrictions: Always execute job
2. Indexes:(this flows into the first 3 ODSes)
Delete indexes
3. Load Data:
Load Data ODS1
Load Data ODS2
Load Data ODS3
4. Activate ODS1
5. Activate ODS2
6. Activate ODS3
(? What do I setup here so that the following will be loaded only if ODS1, ODS2 and ODS3 are successful)
7.Load Data
Load Data ODS4
Load Data ODS5
Load Data ODS6
8.Delete Indexes
9. Load Data
Load data from ODS1, ODS2, ODS3, ODS4, ODS5, ODS6 to the CUBE
10.Activate Cube (?Needs to activate cube? Is there a process type like that of activate ODS)
11. Create Index (Hm, will the Delete and create indexes in this plan take apply to both ODS and Cube)
Thanks, I will lovr to get hint from you. How do I factor in PSA? i.e. To always go to PSA then to ODS and Cube?

Hi,
1.Start the process.(as per your requirement)
2. Load the data to ODS in parallel (ODS1 , ODS2 & ODS 3)
3. Activate the three ODS , with separate ODS activation process type.
4.Put an AND condition
5. load data to ODS4 ,5 and 6
6. Activate ods4 ,5, & 6.
7. delete index for cube
8. load different data from ods to cube
9. create index.
                start
load ODS1 -- Load oDS2 -- Load ods 3
Activate ODS1 - Activate oDS2 - Activate ODS3
                 AND (process)
Load oDS4      load ods5    load ODS 6
Activate oDS4 Activate ODS5 Activate ODS 6
                 AND
          Delete the index
           Load data from different ODS to cube
            Create Index
   there is no concept of activating the cube .. it is only applicable to ods.

Siva.

IP: Error in packaged planning sequence in process chain

Hi all,
We run a planning sequence from within a process chain. As the data transferred are quite a lot, we have packaged with setting "automatically" and with 30 packages to be built. Now the function returned (it ran already successfully before!) an error message stating:
Master cannot read return value from subprocess 2
and another error:
An error occurred with the maintenance of the query directory.
Do you have any idea what this could be?
Many thanks in advance,
Andreas

Hi Rakesh,
It's a BASIS problem. After transport during process chain activation, the background user tries to logon with the password and if it fails the chain will not be activated. The contents will be transported though. You can manually activate the chain. You can request the Basis guys to fix this.
