triggering the process chain

[Former Member]

dear gurus,

i've a process chain which is scheduled weekly i.e. every sunday at 7 pm. but yesterday(i.e. sunday) we had a system maintenance from 10 to 8pm.

now when i'm checking the log i see that the process chain has not been triggered,

so please help me with some solution as to how to trigger the chain.

apart from that i have a chain in which i'm extracting the data from r/3 by running the infopackage. i've included that infopackage in process chain. followed by that infopackage i've the step further processing to data targets(Master data InfoObjects), followed i've local chains and remote chains. when i see monitor screen of the infopackage it shows the status as red but the extraction has been successfully completed and all the data packages are avaliable in PSA. so i forcefully turned the status of Infopackage to green. now, please help me with solution, what should be done so that the execution of process chain sholud be continued further(i.e. further events should be triggered). And the status of the event of infopackage execution in process chain still shows red. is there any mechanism by which we can turn that into green.

regards,

ratin.

Hi Ratin,

1. For the process chain which didn't run due to system maintenance, you have to trigger the chain again in immediate mode. Make sure that the processes(IP,DTP, etc) used in this don;t lock the daily loads.

Remember that you uncheck the Periodic before taking immediate and set back  to weekly schedule once the present run has completed

2. You say extraction job has completed. Check if any TRFCs have stuck. This document will help you in identifying this

http://scn.sap.com/docs/DOC-26591

Never set the status to green forcefully unless data has been loaded to data target. If there are no TRFCs, check  the details tab on the Infopackage monitor screen. You will find the status in yellow/red for the process(Extraction, Transfer, Processing) where the data has stuck. From that you can fix the data. Once TRFCs are clear and still data is not processes, try pushing the data packets manually from the details tab of the monitor screen

As the data has reached PSA, you can reconstruct again. For this, delete the bad request from target and click

You can also reconstruct by going to Datasource and pushing from there

Once everything is done, set the status of infopackage as BACK TO TECHNICAL STATUS

This will continue the loads further

In worst case if nothing works out, retrigger the infopackage again

thanks chandu,

there's other process chain where i'm loading the data to ods

the load is successful, the next step of activation failed.

when i check the ods the request is in green status.

there are other local chain followed that and the activation is local chain in parent chain, after activation there are other local chains.

what should i do in this case of failed ods activation.

how should the followed steps after activation should be executed.

Hi,

1st Question:

i've a process chain which is scheduled weekly i.e. every sunday at 7 pm. but yesterday(i.e. sunday) we had a system maintenance from 10 to 8pm.

now when i'm checking the log i see that the process chain has not been triggered,

so please help me with some solution as to how to trigger the chain.

Sol: This is not a problem, when your process chain runs on next time(i mean, as it is weekly scheduled process chain, it will run again on coming sunday - 22/04/2012), it will fetch the yesterday's data (15/04/2012) and next schedule's data (22/04/2012) also.

Incase, if your users requires yesterday's data to see in this week reports, then in that case you need to run your process chain today itself by changing scheduling timings as immediate, once the loading done you can reschedule your process as usual weekly basis...

Hi,

2nd Question:

apart from that i have a chain in which i'm extracting the data from r/3 by running the infopackage. i've included that infopackage in process chain. followed by that infopackage i've the step further processing to data targets(Master data InfoObjects), followed i've local chains and remote chains. when i see monitor screen of the infopackage it shows the status as red but the extraction has been successfully completed and all the data packages are avaliable in PSA. so i forcefully turned the status of Infopackage to green. now, please help me with solution, what should be done so that the execution of process chain sholud be continued further(i.e. further events should be triggered). And the status of the event of infopackage execution in process chain still shows red. is there any mechanism by which we can turn that into green.

Sol: As Chandra suggested first check is there any IDOCS stucked in source system, if you dont find any stucked idocs, then proceed with the following steps...

As you forcebly turned the info package status into green, you cannot manually trigger your further processes.. so inorder to trigger your further steps please follow the below link
