Author: Devakar Reddy TatiReddy
1 Transactional RFC Error(trfc) Non Updated IDOCs in the Source
System.
1.1 Why does the error occur?
tRFC Transact Remote Function Call Error, occurs whenever LUWs
(Logical Unit of
Works) are not transferred from the source system to the destination
system.
1.2 What happens when this error occur?
Message appears in the bottom of the Status tab in RSMO. The error
message would
appear like tRFC Error in Source System or tRFC Error in Data
Warehouse or simply
tRFC Error depending on the system from where data is being
extracted.
Sometimes IDOC are also stuck on R/3 side as there were no processors
available to
process them.
1.3 What can be the possible actions to be carried out?
Once this error is encountered, we could try to Click a complete Refresh
F6 in RSMO,
and check if the LUWs get cleared manually by the system.
If after couple of Refresh, the error is as it is, then follow the below
steps quickly as it
may happen that the load may fail with a short dump.
Go to the menu Environment > Transact. RFC > In the Source System,
from RSMO. It
asks to login into the source system.
Once logged in, it will give a selection screen with Date, User
Name, TRFC options.
On execution with F8 it will give the list of all Stuck LUWs. The
Status Text will appear Red for
the Stuck LUWs which are not getting processed. And the Target
System for those LUWs should
be WP1CL015, thats the Bose BW Production system. Do not execute
any other IDOC which is
not related have the Target System as WP1CL015.
Right Click and Execute or F6 after selection, those LUWs which
are identified properly. So that
they get cleared, and the load on BW side gets completed successfully.
When IDocs are stuck go to R/3, use Tcode BD87 and expand IDOC in
inbound Processing tab for
IDOC Status type as 64 (IDoc ready to be transferred to application). Keep
the cursor on the error
message (pertaining to IDOC type RSRQST only) and click Process tab (F8)
. This will push any
stuck Idoc on R/3.
Monitor the load for successful completion, and complete the further
loads if any in the Process
Chain.

2 Time Stamp Error.


2.1 Why the error does occur?
The Time Stamp Error occurs when the Transfer Rules/Structure
(TR/TS) are internally inactive in
the system.
They can also occur whenever the DataSources are changed on the R/3
side or the DataMarts are
changed in BW side. In that case, the Transfer Rules (TR) is showing
active status when checked.
But they are actually not, it happens because the time stamp between the

EXTRACTION MADE SIMPLE

DataSource and the


Transfer Rules are different.
2.2 What happens when this error occur?
The message appears in the Job Overview in RSMO, or in Display
Message option of the Process
in the PC.
Check the Transfer Rules in RSA1, Administrator Workbench.
2.3 What can be the possible actions to be carried out?
Whenever we get such an error, we first need to check the Transfer
Rules (TR) in the Administrator
Workbench. Check each rule if they are inactive. If so then Activate the
same.
You need to first replicate the relevant data source, by right click on the
source system of D/s >
Replicate Datasources.
During such occasions, we can execute the following ABAP Report
Program
RS_TRANSTRU_ACTIVATE_ALL. It asks for Source System Name,
InfoSource Name, and 2
check boxes. For activating only those TR/TS which are set by some lock,
we can check the option
for LOCK. For activating only those TR/TS which are Inactive, we check
for the option for Only
Inactive.
Once executed it will activate the TR/TS again within that particular
InfoSource even though they are
already active.
Now retrigger the InfoPackage again.
Monitor the load for successful completion, and complete the further
loads if any in the Process
Chain.

3 Error occurred due to Short Dump.


3.1 Why does the error occur?
Whenever a Job fails with an error Time Out it means that the job
has been stopped
due to some reason, and the request is still in yellow state. And as a
result of the same
it resulted in Time Out error. It will lead to a short dump in the system.
Either in R/3 or
in BW.
Short dump may also occur if there is some mismatch in the type of
incoming data. For
example say date field is not in the format which is specified in BW, then
it may happen
that instead of giving an error it may give a short dump. Every time we
trigger the load.
3.2 What happens when this error occur?
We would get a Time Out Error after the time which is specified in the
Infopackage >
Time Out settings (which may or may not be same for all InfoPackages).
But by that
time in between, we may get a short dump in the BW system or in the
Source System
R/3.
The message appears in the Job Overview in RSMO, or in Display
Message option of
the Process in the PC.
3.3 What can be the possible actions to be carried out?
Usually Time Out Error results in a Short Dump. In order to check the
Short Dump we go to the
following, Environment > Short Dump > In the Data Warehouse / > In
the Source System.
Alternatively we can check the Transaction ST22, in the Source System /
BW system. And then
choose the relevant option to check the short dump for the specific date
and time. Here when we
check the short dump, make sure we go through the complete analysis of
the short dump in detail
before taking any actions.
In case of Time Out Error, Check whether the time out occurred after
the extraction or not. It may
happen that the data was extracted completely and then there was a
short dump occurred. Then
nothing needs to be done.
In order to check whether the extraction was done completely or not,
we can check the Extraction
in the Details tab in the Job Overview. Where in we can conclude
whether the extraction was done
or not. If it is a full load from R/3 then we can also check the no. of

records in RSA3 in R/3 and


check if the same no of records are loaded in BW.
In the short dump we may find that there is a Runtime Error,
"CALL_FUNCTION_SEND_ERROR"
which occurred due to Time Out in R/3 side.
In such cases following could be done.
If the data was extracted completely, then change the QM status from
yellow to green. If CUBE is
getting loaded then create indexes, for ODS activate the request.
If the data was not extracted completely, then change the QM status
from yellow to red. Retrigger
the load and monitor the same.
Monitor the load for successful completion, and complete the further
loads if any in the Process
Chain.

4 Job Cancellation in R/3 Source System.


4.1 Why does the error occur?
If the job in R/3 system cancels due to some reasons, then this error is
encountered. This may be
due to some problem in the system. Some times it may also be due to
some other jobs running in
parallel which takes up all the Processors and the jobs gets cancelled on
R/3 side.
The error may or may not be resulted due to Time Out. It may happen
that there would be some
system hardware problem due to which these errors could occur.
4.2 What happens when this error occurs?
The Exact Error message is "Job termination in source system". The
exact error message may also
differ, it may be The background job for data selection in the source
system has been terminated.
Both the error messages mean the same. Some times it may also give
Job Termination due to
System Shutdown.
The message appears in the Job Overview in RSMO, or in Display
Message option of the Process
in the PC.
4.3 What can be the possible actions to be carried out?
Firstly we check the job status in the Source System. It can be checked
through Environment > Job
Overview > In the Source System. This may ask you to login to the source
system R/3. Once logged
in it will have some preentered selections, check if they are relevant,
and then Execute. This will
show you the exact status of the job. It should show X under Canceled.
The job name generally starts with BIREQU_ followed by system
generated number.
Once we are confirm that this error has occurred due to job
cancellation, we then check the status of
the ODS, Cube under the manage tab. The latest request would be
showing the QM status as Red.
We need to retrigger the load again in such cases as the job is no
longer active and it is cancelled.
We retrigger the load from BW.
We first delete the Red request from the manage tab of the InfoProvider
and then retrigger the
InfoPackage.
Monitor the load for successful completion, and complete the further
loads if any in the Process
Chain.

5 Incorrect data in PSA.


5.1 Why the error does occur?
It may happen some times that the incoming data to BW is having some
incorrect format, or few
records have few incorrect entries. For example, expected value was in
upper case and data is in
lower case or if the data was expected in numeric form, but the same
was provided in Alpha
Numeric.
The data load may be a Flat File load or it may be from R/3. Mostly it
may seem that the Flat File
provided by the users may have incorrect format.
5.2 What happens when this error occur?
The error message will appear in the job overview and will guide you
what exactly we need to do for
the error occurred.
The message on the bottom of the Header tab of the Job Overview in

Trial.

RSMO will have PSA Pflege


written on it, which will give u direct link to the PSA data
5.3 What can be the possible actions to be carried out?
Once confirmed with the error, we go ahead and check the Detail tab
of the Job Overview to check
which Record, field and what in the data has the error.
Once we make sure from the Extraction, in the Details tab in the Job
Overview that the data was
completely extracted, we can actually see here, which record, which
field, has the erroneous data.
Here we can also check the validity of the data with the previous
successful load PSA data.
When we check the data in the PSA, it will show the record with error
with traffic signal as Red. In
order to change data in PSA, we need to have the request deleted from
Manage Tab of the
InfoProvider first, only then it will allow to change the data in PSA.
Once the change in the specific field entry in the record in PSA is done,
we then save it. Once data
in PSA is changed. We then again reconstruct the same request from the
manage tab. Before we
could reconstruct the request, it needs to have QM status as Green.
This will update the records again which are present in the request
Monitor the load for successful completion, and complete the further
loads if any in the Process
Chain.

6 ODS Activation Failed.


6.1 Why does the error occur?
During data load in ODS, It may happen sometimes that the data gets
extracted and loaded
completely, but then at the time of the ODS activation it may fail giving
status 9 error.
Or due to lack of resources, or cause of an existing failed request in the
ODS. For Master Data it is
fine if we have an existing failed request.
This happens as there are Roll back Segment errors in Oracle Database
and gives an error ORA
00060. When activation of data takes place data is read in Active data
table and then either Inserted
or Updated. While doing this there are system dead locks and Oracle is
unable to extend the extents.
6.2 What happens when this error occur?
The exact error message would be like Request
REQU_3ZGI6LEA5MSAHIROA4QUTCOP8, data
package 000012 incorrect with status 9 in RSODSACTREQ. Some times it
may accompany with
Communication error (RFC call) occurred error. It is actually due to
some system error.
The message appears in the Job Overview in RSMO, or in Display
Message option of the Process
in the PC.
The exact error message is ODS Activation Failed.
6.3 What can be the possible actions to be carried out?
Whenever such error occurs the data is may or may not be completely
loaded. It is only while
activation it fails. Hence when we see the details of the job, we can
actually see which data package
failed during activation.
We can once again try to manually Activate the ODS, here do not
change the QM status as in
Monitor its green but within the Data Target it red. Once the data is
activated QM status turns into
Green .
For successful activation of the failed request, click on the Activate
button at the bottom, which will
open another window which will only have the request which is/are not
activated. Select the request
and then check the corresponding options on the bottom. And then Click
on Start
This will set a background job for activation of the selected request.
Monitor the load for successful completion, and complete the further
loads if any in the Process
Chain.
In case the above does not work out, we check the size of the Data
Package specified in the
InfoPackage. In InfoPackage > Scheduler > DataS. Default Data Transfer.
Here we can set the size
of the Data Package. Here we need to reduce the maximum size of the
data package. So that

activation takes place successfully.


Once the size of the Data Package is reduced we again re trigger the
load and reload the complete
data again.
Before starting the manual activation, it is very important to check if
there was an existing failed
Red Request. If so make sure you delete the same before starting the
manual activation.
This error is encountered at the first place and then rectified as at that
point in time system is not
able to process the activation process via 4 different Parallel processes.
This parameter is set in
RSCUSTA2 transaction. Later on the resources are free so the activation
completes successfully.

7 Caller 70 is missing.
7.1 Why does the error occur?
This error normally occurs whenever BW encounters error and is not able
to classify them. There
could be multiple reasons for the same
o Whenever we are loading the Master Data for the first time, it creates
SIDs. If system is
unable to create SIDs for the records in the Data packet, we can get this
error message.
o If the Indexes of the cube are not deleted, then it may happen that the
system may give the
caller 70 error.
o Whenever we are trying to load the Transactional data which has master
data as one of the
Characteristics and the value does not exist in Master Data table we get
this error. System
can have difficultly in creating SIDs for the Master Data and also load the
transactional data.
o If ODS activation is taking place and at the same time there is another
ODS activation
running parallel then in that case it may happen that the system may
classify the error as
caller 70. As there were no processes free for that ODS Activation.
o It also occurs whenever there is a Read/Write occurring in the Active
Data Table of ODS.
For example if activation is happening for an ODS and at the same time
the data loading is
also taking place to the same ODS, then system may classify the error as
caller 70.
o It is a system error which can be seen under the Status tab in the Job
over View.
7.2 What happens when this error occur?
The exact error message is System response "Caller 70" is missing.
It may happen that it may also log a short dump in the system. It can be
checked at "Environment >
Short dump > In the Data Warehouse".
7.3 What can be the possible actions to be carried out?
If the Master Data is getting loaded for the first time then in that case
we can reduce the Data
Package size and load the Info Package. Processing sometimes is based on
the size of Data
Package. Hence we can reduce the data package size and then reload the
data again. We can also
try to split the data load into different data loads
If the error occurs in the cube load then we can try to delete the
indexes of the cube and then reload
the data again.
If we are trying to load the Transactional and Master Data together and
this error occurs then we can
reduce the size of the Data Package and try reloading, as system may be
finding it difficult to create
SIDs and load data at the same time. Or we can load the Master Data
first and then load
Transactional Data
If the error is happening while ODS activation cause of no processes
free, or available for processing
the ODS activation, then we can define processes in the T Code
RSCUSTA2.
If error is occurring due to Read/Write in ODS then we need to make
changes in the schedule time of
the data loading.
Once we are sure that the data has not been extracted completely, we
can then go ahead and delete
the red request from the manage tab in the InfoProvider. Retrigger the
InfoPackage again.

DataFlow of Process Chains in different SAP BWBI
There are sometimes doubts regarding how to set up

Monitor the load for successful completion, and complete the further
loads if any in the Process
Chain.

8 Attribute Change Run Failed ALEREMOTE was locked.


8.1 Why does the error occur?
During Master Data loads, some times a lock is set by system user
ALEREMOTE.
This normally occurs when HACR is running for some other MD load, and
system tries to carry out
HACR for this new MD. This is a scheduling problem.
8.2 What happens when this error occur?
The message appears in the Job Overview in RSMO, or in Display
Message option of the Process
in the PC.
The exact error message would be like, User ALEREMOTE locked the
load of master data for
characteristic 0CUSTOMER. Here it is specifically for the 0CUSTOMER
load. It may be different
related to Master Data InfoObject which is getting loaded.
8.3 What can be the possible actions to be carried out?
Check the error message completely and also check the long text of the
error message, as it will tell
you the exact Master Data which is locked by user ALEREMOTE.
The lock which is set is because of load and HACR timing which clashed.
We first need to check
RSA1 > Tools > HACR, where in we would get the list of InfoObjects on
which HACR is currently
running. Once that is finished only then, go to the TCode SM12. This will
give you few options and
couple of default entries. When we list the locks, it will display all the
locks set. Delete the lock for the
specific entry only else it may happen that some load which was running
may fail, due to the lock
released.
Now we choose the appropriate lock which has caused the failure, and
click on Delete. So that the
existing lock is released. Care should be taken that we do not delete an
active running job.
Preferable avoid this solution
When HACR finishes for the other Master Data, trigger Attribute change
run for this Master Data.

9 SAP R/3 Extraction Job Failed.


There are certain jobs which are triggered in R/3 based upon events
created there. These events are
triggered from SAP BW via ABAP Program attached in Process Chains. This
extract job also triggers along
with it a extract status job. The extract status job will send the status
back to BW with success, failure. Hence
it is important that the extract job, and the extract status job both get
completed. This is done so that on
completion of these jobs in R/3, extraction jobs get triggered in R/3 via
Info pack from BW. Error may occur
in the extract job or in the extract status job.
9.1 What happens when this error occur?
The exact error message normally can be seen in the source system
where the extraction occurs. In
BW the process for program in the PC will fail.
This Process is placed before the InfoPackage triggers, hence if the
extraction program in R/3 is still
running or is not complete, or is failed, the InfoPackage will not get
triggered. Hence it becomes very
important to monitor such loads through RSPC rather than through RSMO.
9.2 What can be the possible actions to be carried out?
We login to the source system and then check the Tx Code SM37, for the
status of the job running in
R/3. Here it will show the exact status of the running job.
Enter the exact job name, user, date, and choose the relevant options,
then execute. It will show a
list of the job, which is Active with that name. You may also find another
job Scheduled for the next
load, Cancelled job if any, or previous finished job. The active job is the
one which is currently
running.
Here if the job status for the Delay (sec.) is increasing instead of
Duration(sec.) then it means
there is some problem with the extraction job. It is not running, and is in
delay.

INTRODUCTION 2) WHY GOING
EXTRACTION? 3) Dimensions of
extraction ...

It may happen sometimes that there is no active job and there is a job
which is in finished status with
the current date/time.
The extract job and the status job both needs to be checked, because it
may happen that the extract
job is finished but the extract status job has failed, as a result of which it
did not send success status
to BW. But the extraction was complete. In such cases, we manually
change the status of the Extract
Program Process in the PC in BW to green with the help of the FM
ZRSPC_ABAP_FINISH.
Execute the FM with the correct name of the Program process variant and
the status F. This will
make the Process green triggering the further loads. Here we need to
check if there is no previous
Extract Program Process is running in the BW system. Hence we need to
check the PC logs in detail
for any previous existing process pending.
Monitor the PC to complete the loads successfully.
If in case we need to make the ABAP Process within the PC to turn
RED and retrigger the PC, then
we execute the FM ZRSPC_ABAP_FINISH with the specific variant and
Job Status as R which
will turn the ABAP process RED.
This usually needs to be done when the Extraction Job was cancelled in
R/3 due to some reason &
we have another job in Released state and the BW ABAP Process is in
Yellow state. We can then
make the ABAP Process RED via the FM, and then retrigger the PC.

10 File not found (System Command for file check failed).


10.1 Why the error does occur?
The system command process is placed in a PC before the infopackage
Process. Hence it will check
for the Flat File on the application server before the infopackage is
triggered. This will ensure that
when the load starts it has a Flat File to upload.
It may happen that the file is not available and the system command
process fails. In that case it will
not trigger the InfoPackage. Hence it is very important to monitor the PC
through RSPC.
10.2 What happens when this error occur?
The error message will turn the System Command Process in the PC
Red and the UNIX Script
which has failed will have a specific return code which determines that
the script has failed.
10.3 What can be the possible actions to be carried out?
Whenever the system command process fails it indicated that the file is
not present. We right click on
the Process and Display Message we get to see the failed script. Here
we need to check the return
code.Here if exit status is 1 then failure i.e. Process becomes Red, else it
becomes Green in PC.
We need to check the script carefully for the above mentioned exit
status. And then only conclude
that the file was really not available.
Once confirmed that the file is not available we need to take
appropriate actions.
We need to identify the person who is responsible for FTPing the file on
the Application server. A
mail already goes to the responsible person, via the error message in the
Process. But we also need
to send a mail, regarding the same.
The Process Chains which are having the system command Process in
them, and the corresponding
actions to be taken.

11 Table space issue.


11.1 Why does the error occur?
Many a times, particularly with respect to HACR while the Program is
doing realignment of
aggregates it needs lot of temporary table space [PSATEMP]. If there is a
large amount of data to be
processed and if Oracle is not able to extend the table space it gives a
dump.
This normally happens if there are many aggregates created on the
same day or there is a large
change in the incoming Master data / Hierarchy, so that large amount of
temporary memory is

needed to perform the realignment.


Also whenever the PSAPODS (Which houses the many tables) is full, the
data load / ODS Activation
stops and hence we may get failures.
11.2 What happens when this error occur?
The Error ORA 01653 and ORA 01688 Relates to issues with table
space. It will give error as
the ORA number which asks to increase the table space.
11.3 What can be the possible actions to be carried out?
In case the table space is full then we need to contact the Basis and
accordingly ask for a increase in
the size of the table space.
The increase of the table space is done by changing some parameters
allocating more space which
is defined for individual tables.

12 How is it possible to restart a process chain at a failed


step/request?
Sometimes, it doesn't help to just set a request to green status in order to
run the process chain from that
step on to the end.
You need to set the failed request/step to green in the database as well
as you need to raise the event that
will force the process chain to run to the end from the next request/step
on.
Therefore you need to open the messages of a failed step by right clicking
on it and selecting 'display
messages'.
In the opened popup click on the tab 'Chain'.
In a parallel session goto transaction se16 for table rspcprocesslog and
display the entries with the following
selections:
1. copy the variant from the popup to the variante of table rspcprocesslog
2. copy the instance from the popup to the instance of table
rspcprocesslog
3. copy the start date from the popup to the batchdate of table
rspcprocesslog
Press F8 to display the entries of table rspcprocesslog.
Now open another session and goto transaction se37. Enter
RSPC_PROCESS_FINISH as the name of the
function module and run the fm in test mode.
Now copy the entries of table rspcprocesslog to the input parameters of
the function module like described
as follows:
1. rspcprocessloglog_id > i_logid
2. rspcprocesslogtype > i_type
3. rspcprocesslogvariante > i_variant
4. rspcprocessloginstance > i_instance
5. enter 'G' for parameter i_state (sets the status to green).
Now press F8 to run the fm.
Now the actual process will be set to green and the following process in
the chain will be started and the
chain can run to the end.
