Data has not been loaded. Please correct the error and try loading again.

Solution:

This error occurs because you're trying to use the same ActivityTypeID for multiple different activities. Analyze the ActivityTypeIDs to detect duplicates.

The license is not given to the domain by which you are connecting to the QlikSense server or the license has expired. Please contact your system administrator or MEHRWERK Support.

Problem:

ActivityTypeIDs have different lengths, as in the following example:

Solution:

Check the lengths of your Activities. All ActivityTypeIDs should have the same length. For example 3 digits, 4 digits or 5 digits. If the length is different than 3, additionally one property in the QueryBuilder needs to be changed by doing the following:

1.Go to Process Pattern Analysis Sheet.

2.Go to Edit mode.

3.Click the QueryBuilder to see the properties.

4.Go to Settings and change the field #digits of ID (Reload required) to the number of digits of your activities.

5.Refresh the browser.

Switch the sheet, select the most common process or filter some values, the Process Analyzer will then stop showing the loading sign.

Two different problems are possible.

Problem 1:

The path has not the properly format or the file doesn't exist.

Solution:

1.Make sure your path contains the correct file name including the format at the end, as the following:

C:\Users\..\Documents\bpmn-import\bpmn-examples\PurchaseProcess.bpmn

Problem 2:

Your BPMN file does not meet the requirements.

Solution:

2.Make sure your BPMN does not have loops that start and end in the same place.

Example to avoid:

From the example you can see that after the test fixes the software, it's ready to test again. Therefore, try to change your BPMN to the following:

Or

Problem:

Value stored in mvProcessDescription has a blank draw.

Solution:

1.Go to Data Load Script.

2.Go to Simple_Data Load.

3.In line 40, change the value stored in mvProcessDescription to a value without blank draws.

Example:

Let mvProcessDescription = ‘My Process‘ wrong

Let mvProcessDescription = ’My_Process’ correct

Let mvProcessDescription = ’MyProcess’ correct

Problem:

Value stored in mvProcessDescription has a blank draw.

Solution:

1.Go to Data Load Script

2.Go to Simple_Data Load

3.In line 40, change the value stored in mvProcessDescription to a value without blank draws.

Example:

Let mvProcessDescription = ‘My Process‘ wrong

Let mvProcessDescription = ’My_Process’ correct

Let mvProcessDescription = ’MyProcess’ correct

If you want to translate the current app, perform the following steps:

1.Add a new column in the Translations.csv file with the desired translations. Name the column as the language abbreviation, i.e. Spanish: ES, English: EN, Russian: RU, etc.

2.Go to “6. Language & Master Items” script tab and add the new column field in the table InputTranslations.

If you want to add new elements as sheets, KPIs and diagrams and translate them, see chapter Translate the Template App to a Custom Language.

If you want to have information about the tables in the mpmX data model, see chapter Understand the mpmX Master Item and Language Tables.

The mpmX ProcessMining Algorithms sort activities first by timestamp, second by a sorting criteria and third by the activity type ID. The sorting criteria can be set here Reuse the Event Log Template to Define Your Event Log.

You can use the wildcard character (*) within a set expression to search a specific string. (For more information please see Qlik's help.)

Example:

count({<ActivityType={"Change*"}>}distinct ActivityType)

You can create a variable in the variable panel and in the definition you can write the activity list as a string. Then in a KPI object, you can use this variable in a set expression to count the activities.

Example:

Variable name:

vRework_Activities

Variable definition:

'Require upgrade', 'Resolve SW anomaly', 'Schedule intervention'

Formula KPI:

count({<ActivityType={$(vRework_Activities)}>}distinct ActivityType)

Suppose that EventA has ActivityTypeID 101 and EventB 108.

The question is, you want processes EventA-ANY-EventB? Meaning that they start with EventA and end up with EventB (0-EventA-ANY-EventB-99999999), then the formel is:

count({<ProcessPath={"0-101-*108-99999999"}>} distinct CaseID)

Or you want to look up for processes that have any activities and within their sequence is one like EventA-ANY-EventB (i.e. 0-EventX-EventY-EventA-ANY-EventB-EventW-EventZ-99999999)? If it's like this, then your formel is:

count({<ProcessPath={"0-*101-*108-*99999999"}>} distinct CaseID)

Take into consideration that all ProcessPath's start with 0 and end up with 99999999.

Considering the previous explanation, the formel for EventA directly followed by EventB (i.e. 0-EventX-EventY-EventA-EventB-EventW-EventZ-99999999) is either:

count({<ProcessPath={"0-*101-108-*99999999"}>} distinct CaseID) 

or:

count({$<CaseID = P({1<EdgeID={'101-108'}>} CaseID)>} distinct CaseID)

The EventA never followed by EventB is the same as that the EventA-EventB sequence does not exists within a case, therefore the formel is either:

count({<ProcessPath=-{"0-*101-108-*99999999"}>} distinct CaseID)

or:

count({$<CaseID = E({1<EdgeID={'101-108'}>} CaseID)>} distinct CaseID)

Let's say you create a flag in the script:

if( Rand1 > 5 and Rand2 < 30, 1, 0) as Flag

Then in the front end you could use the flag as set expression to limit the data:

{<Flag={'1'}>}

For more information about Set expression, please see Qlik's help.

The fields to change in the ProcessAnalyzer are:

•Data

oNodes

▪Measure 1

▪Measure 2

▪Measure 3

oEdges

▪Measure 1

▪Measure 2

▪Measure 3

oProcess Paths

▪Measure for process path

oGroup Nodes

▪Measure 1

▪Measure 2

▪Measure 3

•Appearance

oInfoBox & TitleBar

▪Scroll down until these options:

To apply your set expression, you need to replace the current set expression:

{<ProcessPathUniqueNo={$(mw_selectedProcessPaths)}>}

always with:

{<ProcessPathUniqueNo={$(mw_selectedProcessPaths)}, Flag = {'1'}>}

Just in the case of Data -> Process Paths -> Measure for process path and Appearance -> Total number of process paths and Appearance -> total number of cases, you need to apply:

{<Flag = {'1'}>}

1.Drag a new ProcessAnalyzer and ProcessModeler to the desire sheet.

a)With the new ProcessAnalyzer: Go to Edit mode.

b)Click on the ProcessAnalyzer and then on Properties at the right side bar.

c)Click Copy qID.

d)With the new ProcessModeler: Go to Edit mode.

e)Clik on the ProcessModeler and then on Settings at the right side bar.

f)Paste the copied qID in target qID.

A dashed line is a fictitious line created in the algorithms to connect the fictitious nodes Start and End with the activities in your data. All other continuous lines connect the real activities from the event log.

•QVD files: A QVD (QlikView Data) file is a file (native Qlik format) containing a table of data exported from Qlik Sense optimized for speed. Please see Qlik's help for more information.

•QVS files: A QVS (QlikView Script) file is a text file containing Qlik script. It is used to centralize reusable script functions. The Qlik included functions can be used to include a script file inside a script (in a Qlik app).

•QVF files: A QVF is a file containing all the information from an app. This includes the script, data and visualizations.

There are two possibilities when configuring a link to SAP from the mpmX Dashboard. The link will work for single document numbers only, therefore, you configure a table with the document number as one dimension and with the link as second dimension. If the Qlik and the SAP user are equal go for option two. If they are not, use the logic from option 1.

1.The Qlik User is not a SAP User. In this case, a mapping table is configured in the data editor which assigns a SAP user to the Qlik user. Then, the following syntax must be used (the example is referring to the "Transaction Show Purchase Orders" / ME21).

='https://tools.mehrwerk.net/sap/sap_link.html?'

& 'System_Name=S/4 HANA' //Has to be equal to SAP System Configuration

& '&System_Description=S/4 HANA' //Has to be equal to SAP System Configuration

& '&System_Client=100' //Can also be dynamically

& '&User_Name=' & aggr(only({<OS_User = {'$(=right(OSUSER(), len(OSUSER()) – Index(OSUSER(),'UserId=')-6))'}>}SAP_User),SAP_User)

& '&User_Language=EN' //Can also be dynamically

& '&Function_Title=Show POs’ //Function Title

& '&Function_Command=FB03 RF05L-BELNR=' & PO_Order //Multiple Fields can be added with “;”. Example: & '&Function_Command=FB03 RF05L-BELNR=' & [FI Document Number] &';RF05L-BUKRS=' & [Company Code] & ';RF05L-GJAHR=' & [Fiscal Year]

2.The Qlik user corresponds to the SAP user. In this case, use the following code shown in the "Show Documents" / FB03 example.

='https://sap.mehrwerk.net/sap_link.html?'

& 'System_Name=S/4 HANA System 1' //Has to be equal to SAP System Configuration

& '&System_Description=S/4 HANA System 1' //Has to be equal to SAP System Configuration

& '&System_Client=' & Client //Can also be dynamically

& '&User_Name=' & right(OSUSER(), len(OSUSER()) – Index(OSUSER(),'UserId=')-6)

& '&User_Language=EN'

& '&Function_Title=Document List' //Function Title

& '&Function_Command=FB03 RF05L-BELNR=' & [FI Document Number] & ';RF05L-BUKRS=' & [Company Code] & ';RF05L-GJAHR=' & [Fiscal Year]

The expression must be pasted in the data section of the editing tool in the app. Configure it as a link.

When closing the edit mode you will see a link for every SAP document called "SAP GUI".
