Deletion of Dimension Table data in Process Chain Step

Hi,
I am trying to delete the InfoCube Contents using a Process Chian.This process is successfully deleting the Fact table contents, but not dimension table contents.
I need your help to automate the deletion of dimension table contents.
FYI--
We are using BW 3.0 B.
Thanks in Advance.
Vardhan.

Hi
Unfortunately is not possible. I had in the past the same issue and I had also a confirmation from SAP.
You can use RSRV to delete unsed value, manually or build a program.
the process chain allows only to delete the fact table.
regards
Mike

  • Deletion of changelog data using process chain

    Hi All,
             I have a requirement where i have to delete the changelog data for particular set of data using process chain.we have an option of deleting the entire data from changelog but how to delete only a particular set of data?????

    If you are on BI 7 than,
    Choose "Deletion of Requests from the Change Log" from process category Further BI Processes by double-clicking.
    Create a new process variant and in the variant maintenance screen select Type of Object as Change Log Table
    Under Name of object select DSO name
    Specify the requests that need to be deleted by determining the days or dates. You also have the option to specify whether you only want to delete successfully updated requests, and/or only incorrect requests that are no longer updated in an InfoProvider.

  • Delete older data via process chain

    Business needs only data for the past 45 days at any given time and the data loads are daily basis via process chain.
    so I would like to have a step in Process chain to delete any data older than 30 days from today's date , on a daily basis.
    How can I do that in the Process chain?

    Hi,
    You can use a process type called Delete overlapping request from Infocube in process chain. To delete requests older than 30 days select Deletion selections and write ABAP routine under Request selection through routine using following template.
    Routines for determining the old requests to be deleted after successfully loading a new request.
    form compute_<InfoCube-Name>
      tables l_t_request_to_delete structure rsreqdelstruc
      using l_request like rsreqdone-rnr
      changing p_subrc like sy-subrc.
    *Insert Source Code to decide if requests should be deleted.
    *All Requests in table l_t_request_to_delete will be deleted
    *from Infocube <InfoCube-Name>.
    *Add new requests if you want to delete more (from this cube).
    *Remove requests you did not want to be deleted.
    $$ begin of routine - insert your code only below this line-
         loop at l_t_request_to_delete.
         endloop.
         clear p_subrc.
    $$ end of routine - insert your code only before this line-
    ENDFORM.

  • Automate Deletion of Infoobject Data in Process Chain

    Dear BW Experts,
    We refresh our QBI (Testing system) system every 4 months. Hence we have to drop all the data and refresh it again.
    I have built a process chain to automate deletion of cubes and DSOs. I am unable to include deletion of Infoobjects (Infosources) in the process chain.
    Could you please suggest as to how to do this via process chain (and not manually) since we have more than 20 Infoobjects where data has to be deleted.
    Thanks,

  • How to design data load process chain?

    Hello,
    I am designing data load process chains for the first time and would like to get some general information on best practicies in that area.
    My situation is as follows:
    I have 3 source systems (R3 and two for which I use flat files).
    How do you suggest, should I define one big chain for all my loading process (I have about 20 InfoSources) or define a few shorter e.g.
    1. Master data R3
    2. Master data flat file system 1
    3. Master data flat file system 2
    4. Transaction data R3
    5. Transaction data file sys 1
    ... and execute one after another succesful end?
    Could you also suggest me any links or manuals on that topic?
    Thank you
    Andrzej

    Andrzej,
    My advise is to make separate chains for master & transaction data (always load in this order!) and afterwards make a 'master chain' where you insert these 2 chains one after the other (so: Start process -> Master data chain -> Transaction data chain).
    Regarding the separate chains; paralellize as much as possible (if functionally allowed). Normally, the number of parallel ('vertical') chains equals the nr of CPU's available (check with basis-person).
    Hope this provides you with enough info to start off with!

  • Execute process chain step based on value in a custom table

    HI,
    I have a requirement where i need to execute a process chain step based in the value of a field in a custom table.
    e.g. If ztable-zflag = 'X' then execute next step else stop.
    I am trying to use the decision between multiple alternatives process type, but i guess we can only use formulas in it.
    Also, i created a custom method and called it through the badi RSAR_CONNECTOR, but the same isnt working as expected.
    Would appreciate inputs from the experts.

    Hi,
    Thank you for your response.
    I followed exactly what is written in the document. But when I execute the process chain with the Decision between Multiple Alternatives process type, it fails with an exception message.
    Below is what I have done:
    Below is the code that I entered in the method (Please note that ZPC_CONTROL is the table from which I need to check the value. This table contains 2 fields: Process Chain Name and Flag. My requirement is that when a particular process chain has the flag checked, then the process chain should move ahead):
    Below is the GET method:
    Finally, here is the formula that I have written in the Decision Between Multiple Alternatives process type:
    And the event is Option 2 (which I assume will move the process chain forward if the flag is checked for the process chain ‘TEMP_TEST’)
    Please note that the flag for process chain ‘TEMP_TEST’ is checked in the table ZPC_CONTROL.
    Below is the error in the process chain:
    Please let me know where am I going wrong here. Appreciate your help.

  • Loading master data through process chain

    Hi Gurus
    I am designing the process chain , I know that I have to start by loading master data first for that I am planning to load attribute first and then to load text and then Hierarchy. Is that the right sequence?
    Also how can I make sure that once the master data is loaded , the transaction data loading start automatically?
    I am planning to put attribute chage run as last process in every master data loading . Is that correct?
    Also i would appreciate if you can tell me the very first step I should follow to start my design, I have already identified the master data and transaction data and their respective dependancies.what would be my next step?
    Thanks for your help in advance.
    Kris

    Hi Kris,
    Make two seperate Process Chains for Master Data and Transaction Data
    For Master Data:
    Your sequence is absolutly correct, Identify what all Master Data Objects and make a list of InfoPackages and Start creating Process Chain as
    Start --> Attribute --> Text --> Hier --> Attr Change Run
    For Transactional Data:
    Identify the Data Targets and the Sequence of loading, then create the Process Chain
    NOTE: Always Master Data should be loaded before Transaction Data
    After Creating different Chains for Master Data and Transaction Data, Make a one Super Chain called Meta Chain where you can put all these process chains,
    Meta Chain  --> Process Chain 1( Master Data Chain) --> Process Chain 2( Transaction Data)
    also check these threads for process chain creation
    Re: Process Chain : Master Data

  • Send Message from Process Chain Step without Process Log

    We send a mail message, depending on the success or failure of the process chain step, to user list.
    When the message is sent not only custom message but also the status information and the process log are sent.
    Our users are only interested about the result of the chain and they don' t want to view all technical information.
    Is it possible to send message without process log?
    Regards

    Hi,
    Take 2 process(red and green line) from each of the process in the process Chain, one is for sucessfull and other is for failure and at the end of the proces chain,  just put all failure process to the OR and have add a ABAP Program (with Not Sucessfull) and then just put all sucessfull process to the AND and have add a ABAP Program (with Sucessfull) .
    This wil send the mail to the users, when ever there is failure in PC any where, or sends a mail ..if the process chain completes sucessfully.
    If you want only add the send of mail option at the end of the process chain, we can just add 2 process (red and green line) and have same flow as above. so that.. it will only sends mail..when there is failure or sucessfull of the process chian.
    Hope it helps ......

  • Unable to delete the Requests in the data target---Process chain

    Hello Gurus!
                          Can anyone plz help me out knowing this issue...
      <b>Let me explain the whole scenario:</b>
    Like when monitoring the process chains,one of the process chainhas a  sequence of variants like:
    load info-package1>ODS1 activation>load infopackage2-->load infopackage3..
    due to some problems they scheduing it manually.all the infopackages loads data into one ODS1......suddenly info-package3 failed.
    so....when i looked into the datatarget ODS1->manage->requests.
    <b>i found that the info-pack1 requests status was RED.
    info-pack2 requests status was YELLOW.
    info-pack3 requests status was RED</b>.
    ALL THE THREE R FULL UPDATES ONLY.
    so suddenly one of our cologue  deleted the all the three requests by making ino-pack2 requests to red.
    when we r loading again the ino-pack1  again its failed.we deleted it onceagain(removing the requests from the ods),when we are trying to load ino-pack2 for some priority ,automatically the info-pack1 requests with red were seemed in the ODS.so how to solve this issue and also how to load these three ino-packs..
    i hope that all understand the scenario..plz suggest me how to work on it
    Thanks in advance!!!

    Hi,
    Your loads are running on back ground you have to kill this porcess in SM50 or SM51 check which are all jobs are running with your user name and ALEREMOTE if jobs are running with ALEREMOTE you can check wether it is your load or some body else in SM37 so kill your jobs in SM50 or in SM51 and make request into RED of your 3 loads, delete the requests from ODS and repeat the loads it will go with out any issues, as i under stood your question when your colegue deleted the request without killing the process he simply made it to red and delete its wrong he has to kill the process and then make it to red.

  • How to delete Master data using Process Chain

    I need to delete data in respective data targets such as Infocubes, DSO’s & Master data Infoobjects. It was fine with Infocubes & DSOs  using respective process type. But the issue is with Master data Infoobjects.
    Is there any process type by using which I can delete data in Master data Infoobjects using process chain?

    Murali,
    Master data object process type is not there because in BW, master data is conformed or is shared by other infoproviders. Due to this dependency, master data loading is a bit more complex. You need to drop all the data from all the infproviders which are using the master data you want to delete.
