Client deletion taking long time....

Hi All,
I have been going through tough times in SAP ECC right now.
I am doing a client deletion using SCC5. Total entries in tables were 58514.
It was going fine till it reached 58504. From then onwards, the tables SAP is deleting are having crores of entries, which is why it is taking time.
My question here is, Is their any way by which we can delete the entries fast?
Like from Database level. Database iam having is Oracle. Can we run any sql delete command to delete entries from backend while SAP client deletion is in progress.
Its been 3 days since i have started client deletion and it is very frustrating now.
Could anyone of you please help me with this?

Hi,
Thank u all for helping me out....
Well i am done with Client deletion....I deleted the entries from SQL level.
My client deletion is completed but with dictionary errors.
There are around 3-4 tables in which maximum of 100 entries are still remaining.
Now my doubt is whether i should go ahead with client copy or not?
If yes, please assist me with steps before starting copy, so that it doesnot take much time similar to client deletion (6 days)..

Table space and recollection of released space after client deletion

Dear All,
I have two questions:
1.Can any1 tell me how to determine the fastest growing table and how to reorganize table space.
2. Is there any way by which we can recollect the space released:say after client deletion. I had deleted one client two weeks back and when I saw the SAP/user drive I fow free space available remains the same.
I searched but found no relevant clue.
regards,
Ashutosh

1.- You can see the largest table report in ST04 (as far as i remember)...
2.- You can reorganize your db using brtools - brspace...

Client Deletion Takes long time

Hi All,
Need help, Every month in our quality system we do client refresh so we delete existing data from quality and take export from production and Import into quality.Client Import takes 15 hrs but to delete client it almost takes 36 hrs. There are PCL4/2/1 tables which takes more time to delete the data even not sure they will delete all the data.Looks like these are cluster tables so what can be do to have more optimize client deletion.
To delete client from OS level is is safer side? What can be other ways...?

Hi
PCL4 is not a cluster, at least on Ehp6 at DB level it is a transparent table, that means that the table does exist at both SAP & DB level.
There is a way to process deletion faster, at least for Oracle (but it could also work for other DB)
Create a new temporary table table with a CTAS command (copy table as select) to only include the data for the clients you want to keep.
You can then drop the original table and rename the temporary table to the original name.
Watch out CTAS does not copy indexes, constraints and default values.
If you are using Oracle DB datapump query parameter can be the best option.
You could export the data for the client you want to keep (setting a "query" option like query=" where MANDT in ('200', '300')") , truncate the table and import back the data.
The point here is that copying / inserting new records is faster than deleting.

Client deletion and reorganise

Is there any impacts to delete client with scc5 and T000 values? i want to delete 8 clients at a time from my test system. how can i reorganize database? can i delete directly with scc5 or any thing i could do? can i delete logical systems and rfc connections before going to delete clients? how can i delete these clients without side effects.
Thanks.

Client deletion should not be an issue,u can do it with SCC5 just delete all the RFC's and logical connections prior deleting them.there are no sideeffects as such
use this method:
log into the client to delete
2. go into SCC5 and delete client
3. log into another client and delete entry with SCC4
u cal also delete the client from database but this is better option,use it
for database reorganization you can use BRTOOLS i.e BRSAPCE
check out the following link for more info.

Client deletion good practices

Good morning everyone,
I am after "best practices" when deleting a client.
I am not planning on re-using some of the deleted clients and want to make sure the landscape is cleaned up where possible with reference to these clients.
I am especially after anything that would take up space at the OS or database level that would not necessarly be cleaned up via SCC5.
Has anyone got recomendations on what can and should be cleaned up before and after a client deletion?
For example I have cleaned up WE20-WE21, the RFC...
The logs are still there under SCC3, usefull for historical purposes, but really should they been retained?
Thank you
Coco

Hello
You need to clean up all client dependent transport request Also you need to clean up the queues which are client dependent
thanks

Client Deletion, Transaction log getting full.

Hi Gurus,
We are trying to delete a client by running:
clientremove
client = 200 (*200 being the client we want to remove)
select *
The transaction log disk space allocated is 50GB, it is getting full (in simple mode) and client deletion never completes. The size of the table it is accessing is 86 GB, and i think 200 client will be occupying around 40-45GB. Client 200 has 15.5 million rows in the table.
I am i giving proper command ?is there any explicit commit i can include or any workaround for deleting the client and not hammer the log file.
Thanks guys

Hi,
Backup the active transaction log file and Shrink the file directly.
Please refer the following SAP Notes to get more information.
[ Note 625546 - Size of transaction log file is too big|https://websmp130.sap-ag.de/sap%28bD1lbiZjPTAwMQ==%29/bc/bsp/spn/sapnotes/index2.htm?numm=625546]

Which version of SQL Server u are using ? SP Level ?
Frequently perform Transaction Log backup (BACKUP TRANS) to remove inactive space within the Transaction Log Files.
Please refer [Note 307911 - Transaction Log Filling Up in SQL Server 7.0|https://websmp130.sap-ag.de/sap%28bD1lbiZjPTAwMQ==%29/bc/bsp/spn/sapnotes/index2.htm?numm=307911] to get more information about the reasons for such kind of situation.

Space Reorganization after client delete.

Hi Gurus,
      I have a doubt in reorganization of space after client delete.
       I have created a client and the client copy(local) was done successful. Now i want to delete the client and want to clear the space occupied by the new client (approx 2 GB) . Can u help me how to empty the space occupied by this client.
     My environment..IDES 4.7 . Win 2k. Oracle database.
Thanks in Advance,
Sachin.

Hi
Sachin.
Inorder to delete the client login to the particular client say like ex: 300
execute from the functions or SCC5.
Select if u want to delete it from the entry of table T000, schedule it immediately or background, Whenever it is deleted the space is not automatically freed from the database although these areas can be filled up with new data.
When a client is deleted and created again, the space which is freed can be filled up with new data.
To immediately restore the free space perform the database reorganization, this is recommended when ur client is having a large amount of database.
For ur case the client is of size 2GB, the new data can reuse the free space of the deleted client,
Checking the space management, current sizes,space statistics etc., Goto the Database performance or Tcode DB02 check the Date/Time analysis when it has done, Else do refresh so that a dialog box is opened and prompts u to select
1. Perform the database checks
2. DB checks and update statistics
Select the 2 option so that it will reorganize the database.

Stop and Resume client deletion

Hi all,
I have a strange requirement here, I am planning to execute client deletion using parallel processing. I will be executing the deletion during weekends Saturday & Sunday. In case, if the deletion still continue on Monday morining, I want to cancel the deletion ( Logically STOP) and resume in next weekend..
Since, client deletion will resume from the point where it stopped, i would like to know the standard procedure of cancelling the deletion job. Does SCC5 or SCC3 provides any option to STOP the active jobs? If not, which is the correct way to stop the active deletion process?
Please share your experience & thoughts on this line.
regards,
VInodh.

Hi Vinodh,
Set a background job for client deletion using transaction SCC5 and stop the active job when you want to....using SM37>Job>Cancel active job ....At this time the client is almost completely deleted. If you need to, you can restart the deletion. Because the users must have been deleted at this point, log on as user SAP* and use the initial password PASS and continue with client deletion.
Award points accordingly,
Regards,
Raju.

Client deletion Problem - Urjent..

Hi Experts,
There is an existing DEV-QA-PRD environment. There is a need to have a complete Configuration copy of PRD in DEV2 system, which will be used to build another Production Stream (DEV2, QA2, PRD2) for another project.
When we are deleting client ,below Problems we have facing :
1) Production equivalent client (4 TB of data) is taking too much time while deleting tables (step 4 in the diagram below).
2) Of the total 34,882 tables, 34,855 tables took almost 7-8 days to delete.
3) Last 30-35 tables are taking a lot of time to delete, these are probably the largest tables in the system
4) Tables EDIDS and CDCLS are currently being deleted for the last 3-4 days
5) Adding more processes to the Dev2 system is not helping either.
6) At the current rate, these tables will take another 1.5-2 weeks, which seems to be a long time
7) Some more tables which took more time were SWWLOGHIST, IDOCREL, SRRELROLES
Other information:
1) Operating System used for the ECC 5.0 is: Tru64 / HP, Oracle 9i DB (List of Service packs and Patches are attached)
2) Production system has data worth approx. 4TB
3) No Data Archiving has been done since the inception of the system
I need your Suggestions and Comments on this ---its urjent
Points will rewarded for suitable answers

Hi Prabhakar
Any other comments Plz...
Ok, you wanted it )) here is mine
so far:
- you copied your huge database (where you don't delete / archive old data) to the new server
- you are now deleting row by row all that data
- you will end up having a still huge but empty database, because the tables / tablespaces won't shrink after the client deletion
This does not make any sense to me, am i missing something :(((
Are there other clients in the prod system, which you keep?
@ Markus: i don't think they have 100+ gb memory to cache their huge tables in the sga
I guess the client deletion has something like a MAX ROWS COMMIT limit to prevent undo overflow. If this number is for example 100'000 rows, then you have to execute 100 delete statements (-> 100 full scans) on a 10mio row table. This of course is taking ages. Even worse it gets slower and slower, because the first delete up to 100'000 rows gets the first blocks, the second scans the same blocks, but they are empty now, so it has to scan further, and so on...
Best regards
Michael

Hello,
Indexes can be rebuild online via the ABAP program RSANAORA.
Select the option "Index".
Select the option "Alter Index Rebuild Online".
In Object fill in all your index names.
I always create the index list as follows:
Start tcode DB02OLD.
Use "Detailed analysis".
Object type : INDEX
Eventually also select the tablespace : PSAPSR3, PSAPSRUSR
Press ENTER
Afterwards download the list of indexes and sort them from smallest to largest.
After that you can copy the index names in the object field of program RSANAORA and run the program.
After the rebuild of the indexes you will see that index quality improves a lot, as well as overall DB performance.
After a client delete/copy where you modify a lot of data I also recommend you run a full DB statistics run.
Success.

Client deletion answers

Hi experts,
in my system I have two client (440, 460).
Now i need to perform the 440 client deletion. I see that in my system the are some cross-client tables (without MANDT in key).
According to you the client deletion impact on those tables contents (tables will be deleted)?
THANKS

Hi,
The same data that would have been created for a client copy,
is the same data that would be deleted during a client delete.
(i.e. no cross client data should be deleted)
Kind Regards,
Chris
