Process Chain Monitoring

Former Member

Hello,

I currently have a problem with process chain monitoring:

A process chain had a process which ran for several days, so I stopped the bathc-process in Batch Monitor.

However, I now can no longer monitor the process chain.

When I go to RSPC -> Select process chain -> go to protocoll view , the transaction does not proceed and protocol view is never openend. In SM50 I can see that the system seems to run the program RSPC_PROCESS_FINISH forever...

Also, when I try to run RSPCM, the same problem occurs.

So i have two questions:

- How can I fix the chain so it will properly be shown in monitor view?

- How can I remove the chain from rspcm, so I can start RSPCM again (to monitor the other chains at least)

Best regards, Florian

Hello Florian,

For monitoring, try tcode st13. Then give "bw-tools" and execute. Select process chain analysis and execute., Then in the next screen give your process chain technical name and start date and execute. You should see the process chain monitoring screen. But remember, the date should be system date not your local date.

From RSPCM, in the very first screen there is list view of different chains. There you can select the row of a paricular process chain and click on remove chain button. It will be removed. To add a new chain there is again a button add chain. You can add chain giving the technical name.

Thanks,

Hi Florian,

Good Day!

How did you stop the chain job? Did you cancel the long runing job or not? If yes then check for the dependent processes that could have been triggered on the server. You can seek help from BASIS people aswell to check if the jobs were properly stopped. Also check in SM37 if the job was really cancelled or not?

Meanwhile try the below options.

1) How can I fix the chain so it will properly be shown in monitor view?

Try giving the chain name in RSPC1. Execute it. And check the Logs of the recent run's of the chain. you can find this using the log icon present at the top or by Goto -> Log view from the top.

2)How can I remove the chain from rspcm, so I can start RSPCM again (to monitor the other chains at least)

RSPCM by default displays the details about the last ran chain. Try executing the RSPCM tcode and later you can add or remove the chains directly from there. Alternatively if your RSPCM is not working then you can go for ST13 which is much flexible way of monitoring the chains

SA38 / SE38 -> enter program name as " /ssa/bwt" -> Execute -> Provide your chain name (provide the period) Execute. You will find all the runs of the chain. This one is better option as you can get the details of all the runs where as in RSPCM you get the details of the most recent run.

Thanks

Hi Florian,

Do you have any active job in SM37 for the process which is running since long time in your PC?

if you have cancel that job in SM37 and check the performance of your system with your basis person

I can not start RSPCM, because it tries to analyze the particular chain and runs into an endless loop.

So I need a way to remove the chain from rspcm without starting rspcm...

Hi Florian ,

Many a times it happens that if the Process is a DTP , the DTP triggers child jobs and the job has not actually finished , but you just killed an instance of a long chain of jobs .

Make sure you have killed the job in SM37/SM50 . Then refresh RSPCM and see if the problem still persists .

Thanks ,

Hello,

I was able to resolve the issue by rerunning the the chain. The old logs are still corrupted (cant analyze them in monitor), but the acutal run can be monitored and RSPCM works again.

Thanks for your input and your help ...

Hi Florian,

How can I remove the chain from rspcm, so I can start RSPCM again (to monitor the other chains at least)

A) In RSPCM when you can select any particular chain, you can always remove it from schedule and schedule it back.

Also refer to this link below, it will give more idea
