Steps for Process Chains in BI 7.0 for a Cube.

1. Start

2. Execute Infopackage

3. Delete Indexes for Cube

4.Execute DTP

5. Create Indexes for Cube

For DSO

1. Start

2. Execute Infopackage

3. Execute DTP

5. Activate DSO

For an IO

1. Start

2.Execute infopackage

3.Execute DTP

4.Attribute Change Run

Data to Cube thru a DSO

1. Start

2. Execute Infopackage ( loads till psa )

3.Execute DTP ( to load DSO frm PSA )

4.Activate DSO

5.Further Processing

6.Delete Indexes for Cube

7.Execute DTP ( to load Cube frm DSO )

8.Create Indexes for Cube

3.X

Master loading ( Attr, Text, Hierarchies )

Steps :

1.Start

2. Execute Infopackage ( say if you are loading 2 IO's just have them all parallel )

3.You might want to load in seq - Attributes - Texts - Hierarchies

4.And ( Connecting all Infopackages )

5.Attribute Change Run ( add all relevant IO's ).

Start

/\

Infopackge1A(Attr)|Infopackge2A(Attr)

/\

Infopackge1B(Txts)|Infopackge2B(Txts)

/_____________________|

Infopackge1C(Txts)______|

\_____________________|

\___________________|

__\___________________|

___\__________________|

_____\________________/

______ And Processer_ ( Connect Infopackge1C & Infopackge2B )

__________|__________

Attribute Change Run ( Add Infobject 1 & Infoobject 2 to this variant )

1. Start

2. Delete Indexes for Cube

3. Execute Infopackage

4.Create Indexes for Cube

For DSO

1. Start

2. Execute Infopackage

3. Activate DSO

For an IO

1.Start

2.Execute infopackage

3.Attribute Change Run

Data to Cube thru a DSO

1. Start

2. Execute Infopackage

3.Activate DSO

5.Further Processing

6.Delete Indexes for Cube

7.Execute Infopackage

8.Create Indexes for Cube

Hai,

No idea for BI 7.0?what is DSO?

I think It is like an ODS?is it correct?

Pls Correct me.

DSO is Data Store Object. This in related to BI7.0 which is something similar to ODS in 3.x

Hi Hema,

Dont worry. Its all the same functionality.

Once you have hands on experience in Biw it is as simple as such for other versions also. Beleive me and goodluck for the future.

Hi Devi,

InfoPackage Groups/Event Chains are older methods of scheduling/automation. Process Chains are newer and provide more capabilities.

Info package group is to define sequence on which we need to do our dataloads but in process chains you can completly automate your dataloads.

Hope you got it.

Hi Devi,

Creating a Process Chain Directly in the Process Chain Maintenance Screen
You are in the BW Administrator Workbench.

1. Click on the Process Chain Maintenance icon in the AWB toolbar.

The Process Chain Selection dialog window appears.

2. Choose Create.

3. Enter the technical name and a description of the chain, and confirm your entry.

The Add Start Process dialog window appears.

4. Create a variant for a start process.

a. On the Maintain Start Process screen, choose whether you want to schedule the chain directly or whether you want to start it using a metachain.

b. If you choose to schedule the chain directly, enter the start date value for the chain under Change Selections and save your entries.

The Maintain Start Process screen appears again.

c. Save your entries, return to the previous screen and confirm your entries in the Add Start Process dialog window.

You are taken to the Plan View of the process chain maintenance screen.

In the left-hand area of the screen, a navigation area is displayed. In the right-hand area of the screen, the process chain is displayed.

5. Use the drag-and-drop function to add the relevant processes into your process chain.

You use the Process Types function to select the processes. This sorts the process types according to different categories. You can also call up InfoPackages and processes for the data target from the separate InfoSources and Data Targets navigation trees.

If you insert into the chain a process that is linked to additional processes, the respective process variants are generated and inserted into the process chain automatically. These variants are suggestions and can be changed, replaced or removed from the chain if required.

Only if the attribute realignment run is inserted automatically, do you also arrive at the variant maintenance screen.

If you want to specify yourself the processes that are to be included in a chain, choose Settings ® Default Chains, and select the Do Not Suggest Processes option. As a result, the system does not suggest, generate, or insert automatically any processes into the chain. This setting is user-specific.

If the chain that you create does not correspond to the standard, the system displays a warning. You can ignore these warnings if you are sure that you are creating a chain that meets your requirements. Warnings do not affect how the chain operates during runtime.

Your chain is checked in the checking view and during activation. The system tells you if it discovers any errors.
