Overlapping Requests

Hi all,
I have selected the following options in delete overlapping request as we need only one request for a week.
Delete existing requests
Only delete request frm same same DTP
Selections are
Same or More comprehensive
Request date is
Yesterday or Today
Exceptions
Day Of week ...Monday
It is loading thrice on Monday.Though the chain is working fine and deleting those 3 requests on teh next daya.
Please explain why it is loading 3 times on Monday.
Thanks in advance.

Hello,
your PC  maybe triggered by multiple jobs to be executed three times.Please check the scheduling in start variant.
that is why this process type is executing thrice!

Dhanya

  • Delete Overlapping requests question

    Hi ,
    How would a Delete overlapping requests (DOR)type work in a PC to a Cube that gets a full load every day with selections for rolling 12 months?
    Say there is a scenario to load data into an AR line items cube to update open to closed items history and the loads are configured for a 12 month rolling. eg yesterdays full would be for 03/23/09 to 03/23/10
    today's 03/24/09 to 03/24/10
    Now how can we utilize DOR instead in a PC that would delete the doubling behaviour of data for dates 03/24/09 to 03/23/10?
    All thoughts appreciated.
    Thanks

    Hi,
    in The selection criteria of the info package u can have the following code which takes the selection criteria as the first day to last day of the month  based on previous days date(SY-DATUM - 1.)
    data: l_idx  like sy-tabix,
            dDATE1 LIKE SY-DATUM,
            dDATE  LIKE SY-DATUM,
            L_LOW  LIKE RSSDLRANGE-LOW,
            L_HIGH LIKE RSSDLRANGE-HIGH.
      read table l_t_range with key
           fieldname = 'END_SHIFTDATE'.
      l_idx = sy-tabix.
      dDATE1 = SY-DATUM - 1.
      CALL FUNCTION 'ZFNC_FIRSTDAY_MONTH'
        EXPORTING
          DDATE      = dDATE1
        IMPORTING
          DLAST_DATE = dDATE.
      L_LOW         = dDATE.
      L_T_RANGE-LOW = L_LOW.
      L_T_RANGE-SIGN   = 'I'.
      L_T_RANGE-OPTION = 'BT'.
      CLEAR dDATE.
      CALL FUNCTION 'ZFNC_LASTDAY_MONTH'
        EXPORTING
          DDATE      = dDATE1
        IMPORTING
          DLAST_DATE = dDATE.
      L_HIGH         = dDATE.
      L_T_RANGE-HIGH = L_HIGH.
      modify l_t_range index l_idx.
    and DOR deletes the previous day's request as the selection criteria is same. on first day of the next month it has a request with selection criteria as first to last date of the previous month. and this request is not deleted  since on 2nd of the month it has different selection criteria(Start daay and end day of that month)
    Hope its clear
    Thanks,

  • Delete overlapping request when month changes

    Hi Experts,
    Delete overlapping request works fine for all the days but when month changes it is not deleting the request as the filter value gets changed.
    I have three Info Package and DTP like below:
    Current Month -2
    Current Month -1
    Current Month
    In January selection values are:
    Current Month -2     201111
    Current Month -1     201112
    Current Month         201201
    As the month changes, February selection values are:
    Current Month -2     201112
    Current Month -1     201201
    Current Month         201202
    We need the request which has selection criteria 201111 should stay, but 201112 and 201201 should get deleted as these two request are duplicated.
    Please advice if we have any solution for this issue.
    Suggestion will be appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Muiz Ahmed

    Yes Sven,
    You are correct,
    31-Jan-2012 Current Month -1 had loaded 201112
    1-Feb-2012 Current Month -2 had loaded 201112
    Now I have to delete request which has got loaded on 31-Jan-2012.
    For now I have deleted manually, but I want automate this activity, so no manual intervention is required.
    Thanks,

  • Delete overlapping request in PC - Request from previous month got deleted

    Hi Everyone,
    We are using a 'Delete overlapping request' step in a process chain. Under the Deletion Selections, we have checked the following options:
    1) Only Delete Requests from Same DTP
       |_ Selections are - Overlapping
    2) Request Date - Is in the Current Month
    3) Exceptions:
       |_ New Request will be loaded on - 1st Day of a Month
    The datasource in this case is used for a Full update into a Cube everyday. We've used the above selections so that the request loaded on the last day of a month is not deleted by the subsequent load. We need this to retain a snapshot of the data for each month.
    This month, when the process chain executed on 1st Feb, the request loaded on 31st Jan was not deleted. However, on 4th Feb, the Process chain deleted the request loaded on 3rd Feb and also the one from 31st Jan. There seems to be no reason at all for the 31st Jan request to get deleted. We've made sure of that by choosing the option 'Request Date - Is in the Current Month' in the Deletion Selections.
    Is there any explanation why the request was deleted?
    Thanks,
    Ram

    Hi,
        If you dont have any selections , it will delete the previous request. Based on the selections only overlap will work.  For your scenario , it wont delete previous month request after changing it to current Fiscal period. Once check the selection options , is it displaying month wise or empty selections.

  • Delete Overlapping Request in Process Chain

    Hi,
    I’m working on Process chain to upload data from four source cubes to one target cube. Process chain has been configured as after the <b>Data Transfer Process’s</b> successful execution, system looks for overlapping data requests and deletes them. Chain seems doing the required functionality but the only thing going wrong is when it comes to deletion of overlapping requests, it randomly delete few and leave others. The status of undeleted ones switched to <b>erroneous</b> and this prevents newly generated data requests available for reporting.
    Regards,
    Shabbar

    Hi,
    Thanks for your replies. For deletion I’m using <b>Same or More Comprehensive</b> option because I just want to delete the corresponding request with the same selection.
    There are four requests need to be created with every run and it should delete the corresponding four. But I don’t know what’s going wrong, why and how it picks up a few out of four for deletion and left the rest with erroneous status.
    Hope this would make the problem statement clear, if you require any further information, please let me know.
    Regards,
    Shabbar

    C i'll explain our scenario..
    there was data loaded from 2 data sources to one cube thru 2 dtp's from 2 DS's in process chain...
    Soon after the 2 DTP steps, delete overlapping request step is defined from both the ends.in chain...in whcih variant is
    object type: the same DTP and its name which loads from PSA to cube.
    radio button selected as: edit all infocubes with following delete selections.
    selections: delete existing request under which Only delete request from the same DTP.

  • Overlapping requests not deleted from Infocube

    Hi gurus,
    I have included a delete overlapping requests process as the final step in one of my process chain.
    I am using the infopackage selection options to delete the request, but it appears not to be working, the log chain gives OK status, but requests are not deleted. Am I missing any step???
    We are using BI 7.0.
    Thank you.

    Have you enabled deletion ?
    In planning view just double click on "Delete overlapping request" variant.
    At top you should see your infopackage or DTP.
    At bottom you have "Deletion Selections" here check here if you have ticked "Delete Existing requests" and chosen overlapping or same or more comprehensive.
    Hope this helps.

  • Overlapping requests using DTP

    Hello BIGurus,
    I want to delete overlapping requests in the following scenarios using DTP
    1.In Master data Attribute
    2.DSO
    3.Info-cube.
    I am not able to find Deletion of overlapping requests option in the DTP.
    Can you please help me to find out option in DTP to delete overlapping request?

    Hi
    Overlapping request will always delete data based on the same selection condition.
    In your case as the import dates are different for both the requests, it will not delete the previous request.
    You can try selective deletion option if feasible.
    or
    Overlapping will happen only for cubes. Not to DSO (because already we have overwrite option for DSO) so no need to maintain the setting for DSO and also it wonu2019t accept to give the settings.
    We can have the settings to u201Cdelete overlapping request from basic cubeu201D only.
    We can give these settings in 2 ways
    1. In IP level
    Go to IP maintenance screen > go to target tab > click on u201Cautomatic loading of similar/identical request from the info cubeu201D and set the setting as per you convenience
    2. if we want to give the setting in Process chain >
    Select the process type u201Cdelete requestu201D and mention the IPs in the maintain variant screen
    Click on the u201CDeletion selection u201D tab and set the setting as per you convenience

  • Deletion of data target contents Vs delete overlapping requests

    hi,
         when do we  go for <b>delete overlapping requests</b>? if it is applicable for full load as well as delta load then i would like to first come up with the full load concept, we have the other option called <b>delete data target contents</b> with this we can delete daily full load without going for delete overlapping requests.
    Pls let me know exact difference between DELETE OVERLAPPING REQUESTS FROM INFOCUBE with DELETE DATA TARGET CONTENTS.

    hi
    When you have delta upload twice daily..the date in the previous request and the second request is same....so you might be giving this option to delete the overlap such that data is not loaded twice
    Assign points dont forget

    Hi
    In the Delete Overlapping Requests from Infocube Process there is an button Deletion Selections Check what are all the options selected in that there are some 3 check boxes like
    a) Only Delete Requests from Same DTP
    b) Only Delete Full DTP Requets
    c) Only Delete DTP Requests from Same Source
    if option B is checked it will work only for Full Requests not for Delta. Check the same in your system.

  • Process Chain Help - Delete Overlapping requests

    Dear Experts,
    I have a requitement where I want to delete the ' previous days' request from the cube. This has to be from the data coming from only one DSO.
    I can use the Delete overlapping request process type but I want to know how.
    And again, this has to be only for the current month.I want to delete the overlapping requests of current month i.e now since I am in April I want to delete only the April requests. When I am in  month May I dont want to delete april request anymore.
    In other words I want to delete the april request until April 30th. On May 1st I dont want to delete the april 30th request. On may 1st it shouldn't delete anything. On May 2nd it should delete the May 1st request.
    Can anyone help me with this.
    Thanks,
    KK

    Hi KK,
    If I have understood you correctly, you mean to say your cube is getting loaded from various Datasources and you want to delete the requests only for a particular Datasource and not for others.
    Please correct me if i am wrong.
    If I am right ! Then on the window "Delete Request from Infocube after update" you can "Delete Existing Requests - > Is current month" and on the bottom of that screen you can see a checkbox for Request Selection Through Routine. Check this and you can simply write a routine to do the deletion for only requests loaded from a particular datasource.
    Hope it helps.

  • Duplicate records: Process : Delete Overlapping Requests from InfoCube

    Hi Experts,
    We are loading data in standard costing cube with standard available option Full upload. In our process chain we have included process type "Delete Overlapping Requests from InfoCube". In our scenario we always load yesterday and today's data. In this case after loading yesterday's data, we need to check and delete the overlapping requests and then upload todays data.
    Many a times this deletion process is failing due to message "Couldn't lock cube" because it is already locked by user "ALEREMOTE". This cause system to duplicate the records in cube.
    How we can avoid this?
    Alok

    I tried running again and it again failed. Checked in SM12 and found this entry
    800     ALEREMOTE     08/14/2007     E     RSENQ_PROT_ENQ     CREA_INDX      ZCCA_C11                      DATATARGET     CREA_INDX                     ######################################     0     1
    This locked is not released since 14th. Is there way to remove the lock using some process.

  • Process Type - Delete overlapping requests from an Info Cube

    I have read many threads on this topic, still have some questions. To give you background, I will be doing delta load (“delta” process chain). But before delta, I want to do setup initialization (“init” process chain). I want to use this process type in my “init” process chain” to delete all data in my cube loaded from a specific ods. I cannot use delete all contents process type because many ods’s feed the same cube.
    1.     Do you put this process type after Load Data or before Load Data. I have seen both cases in SDN forums.
    2.     Variant of this process type is an info package. Does this info package have to be same as in load data step or it can be different.
    3.     I want to delete all data in cube which was loaded from my ods. Term overlapping is confusing to me. Will this process type delete all data or not.
    Tanks in advance.

    Yes, you can do that. Goto RSPC - under process types Load Process and Post Processing, you will see DELETE OVERLAP REQUESTS FROM INFOCUBE option is there.
    Select the proper check boxes like same sourcesystem, same datasource etc...
    If it is one time deletion, why not do that manually?
