Process Chain Maintenance...

[#1]

Dear All,

I've designed a "Process Chain" few months ago and its executing perfectly as it has been scheduled for daily execution @ 6:30: 00 a.m. Now, I have a need to modify it with the addition of two DTPs, one loads the delta data from DataSource to a new DSO and other loads the delta data from New DSO to a new InfoCube. I do not want to create new Process Chain for uploading to new DSO and InfoCube. I would like to use this existing "Process Chain". See below screen shot:

1. What is the above "Unknown Job" all about, when I click the check icon it disappear, but again it comes back? How to get rid of it?

2. How am I add new Delta DTP by "Mouse Right Click" and then use Connect to property and select the new Delta DTP?

3. After the addition of two Delta DTPs, do I need to only activate this Process Chain and no need to "schedule" it again?

4. What are the precautions to be taken care of while modifying an existing "Process Chain"?

I will appreciate your reply a lot.

Many Thanks!

Hi Tariq,

1. Are you getting this when you are in display mode? Have you tried manually remove this?

2. The new flow what you mentioned (Datsource ->DSo -> Cube) has any dependency on existing load or vice versa? you can add DTPs by selecting from processes and searching with tech. name.

3. No, PC need not to be scheduled again. Just activate and collect it in a transport (do not forget to collect activation variant and delete/create index variant for DSO n Cube)

4.

i)You need to know where exactly you can put your IP/DTPs to load data...in terms of dependency you should be clear on that.

ii) Check the run time statistics... whether adding/modifying existing chain will result in increase in run time? or because of this any other chain is getting delayed which is of more Importance..in terms od data availability as meeting the SLAs.

I would recommend to search for documents on this and explore more.

Gaurav
