Problem deleting unused InfoObject

Dear All,
We have encountered a problem deleting an unused InfoObject getting the following messages :-
Data element /BIC/OIPTBTAUDIT still used in table/view STRU_453SRKYRVVCCB1I7ZI5ZXNXRO
Data element /BIC/OIPTBTAUDIT still used in table/view STRU_453TM6SZNZKT8RYRKNBZ0H3G4

Data element /BIC/OIPTBTAUDIT still used in table/view STRU_453TNP7PZ3CK6FQ8WLWY8E01G
Now these structures look like transfer structures but we have removed the object from all such structures and have ran where used in RSD1 and this object is not used anywhere !
Please help as this object needs removing and recreating with the same technical name.
You help is much appreciated.
Thanks
Craig
P.S. These structures are marked as Generated structures.

Go to the info object in RSA1 in change mode and click edit - where used.
You  will get a list of other objects where this object is used.
Delete the data in the cube. Delete the object from the cube and dimension of the cube. If you have more than one cube and ODS that uses this object, pl do the same for cube and ODS.
Remove the object from the comm structure and other data marts.
Delete the data in the info object.
Delete the from the info object.
Now, again go to the info object and see the where used list.
The list should be list.
Now, you are all set to delete the object.
Finally create another one with the same name .

  • Problems deleting unused footage

    imovie doesn't throw away unused footage that i have cropped even though i empty the trash in imovie. i have looked inside the package contents of the movie project and the only files there are the original DV files that i have imported and not the individualy edited clips.
    This is a problem because im trying to make a 10 minute trailer clip from 200 hours of footage captured in individual DV files and can't import anymore DV clips because of low HD space.
    I want to save the 10 minute trailer as a movie project that i can adjust later but i don't want to store a file full of huge original DV clips.
    It didn't used to be like this. if i imported footage from a DV cassette imovie would delete the cropped parts of footage from the project. is there a difference in importing DV files?
    Any help will be appreciated.

    This is a problem because im trying to make a 10
    minute trailer clip from 200 hours of footage
    captured in individual DV files and can't import
    anymore DV clips because of low HD space.
    Why import 200 hours to an iMovie project just to build a 10-minute trailer? Isn't there some way you can pre-select the chunks you plan to use and ignore the rest?
    • iMovie 5/6's non-destructive editing is a lot smarter (and considerably more robust) than earlier versions of iMovie. When some feature of non-destructive editing doesn't do what we want, we can usually find a way around it. Like any other new feature, we need to understand how this tool works, and how to use it to our advantage.
    • When importing video from a camera, iMovie offers a built-in preference that lets us discard Media files later. We can use the preference that limits the length of imported clips to 2 minutes or whatever. Then later, if we don't use any of the 2 minutes contained in Clip 100 we can discard the clip, empty the iMovie trash, and recover the disk space occupied by the 2-minute Media file.
    Note that iMovie's non-destructive editing feature doesn't prevent us from discarding ALL material. It only does this: It preserves the entire Media file stored in the project's Media folder. It never shortens those files, unlike earlier versions of iMovie.
    But it preserves ONLY the Media files the project actually uses. When we discard the LAST clip using a Media file and empty the iMovie Trash, the entire file is discarded. Then we recover that disk space.
    So if a project contains 200 Media files and we use 1 second from each, none will be discarded when we empty the iMovie Trash. But if we use just 10 of those files, 190 will be discarded when we empty the Trash.
    (By "using" a file I mean that the Timeline or the Clips pane contains a clip that uses is.)
    • When importing DV movies (instead of importing from a camera) we can use QuickTime Pro to trim the DV files to a reasonable size. Open a DV file, remove the stuff you won't use in iMovie, then Save As a reference file you import to iMovie later. Reference files are tiny, so you waste no disk space doing this, and iMovie imports only the stuff you actually need.
    You can even Copy and Paste chunks from multiple DV files into a single reference movie that you import later to iMovie. A reference movie can point to one DV file, or many.
    Once a reference movie has been saved to disk, we can drag the tiny icon in the titlebar of the QuickTime Player window directly into the iMovie project Timeline.
    Or we can select the frames we want in a DV movie, then click in the movie window and drag it to the Desktop. The Mac builds a new "Movie Clipping" reference movie that plays that chunk. Rename the clipping file (optional) and drag it to the iMovie Timeline.
    • Another strategy is to export your rough-cut Timeline to a camera, re-import it to a new iMovie project and discard the original project. So if your Timeline uses just 1 minute of the 20 hours in the project, the project shrinks from 260GB to 0.2GB.
    Lots of ways to go.

  • Deleting Unused Audio

    I'm having a problem deleting unused audio clips. This is what I do.
    1. Open a template
    2. Save it as a project before I begin recording.
    3. After recording I open the Audio Window. select unused and hit delete
    4. Click on File > Project > Clean Up.
    It's strange...even after I delete audio from the Audio Window it tells me that I do not have anything to clean up. Further, when I go to the project file it often has 5 times the amount of audio clips in the project folder than in the actual song.
    Any ideas about what I'm doing wrong?
    Stevetothink

    control/delete (asks...are you sure??) deletes the files of the drive. just hitting delete, them takes them off the audio file list.

  • Problem in deleting the Infoobject.....

    Hi,
    I am not able to delete one of the master data info object.
    I am getting the following error/messages...
    "Table /BIC/SZSTOVLCL is still referenced

  • Problem deleting Infoobject.

    I am trying to cleanup some legacy InfoObjects. When I go to delete the InfoObject, I get the error that it could not be deleted b/c its still used.
    In the detail of the log, I get the message its still referenced. Specifcially this:
    Data element /BIC/OIZSOLDTOCD (Revised and active vers.) was not deleted (check references)
    /BIC/OIZSOLDTOCD is still used in Table /BIC/CAAAZCSELTHRU
    /BIC/OIZSOLDTOCD is still used in Table /BIC/CAAAZOORDERS
    Domain /BIC/OZSOLDTOCD (Revised and active vers.) was not deleted (check references)
    /BIC/OZSOLDTOCD is still used in Data element /BIC/OIZSOLDTOCD
    However, the two tables its suppsidly used in don't exist!!! (/BIC/CAAAZCSELTHRU and /BIC/CAAAZOORDERS)
    What can I do to fix this?
    - Stephen

    OK. I finally got the object to delete, but I am still not comfortable w/ what is going on.
    Your suggestion got me to poking around. The first big issue is that the structures which were holding the reference - /BIC/CAAAZCSELTHRU and /BIC/CAAAZOORDERS could not be pulled up or located in SE12/SE11.
    <b>I couldn't even enter in the full table name, it kept cutting it off!!!  However, the only way I could get ot them was thru the where used list, nowhere else could I pull them up!
    I deleted the reference of the InfoObject table in both structures, I don't think I deleted the structure from the where use list. This then allowed me to go back and delete the InfoObject.
    I don't get why I could not pull up the structures other then displaying them in the where used list.

  • Deleting unused master data

    Hi All,
    We want to delete unused master data. In our case, we need to delete material numbers from infoobject ZVD_MAT that is no longer used.
    There is standard SAP program RSDMD_DEL_BACKGROUND to perform this activity.
    But the problem is there is huge amount of data in ZVD_MAT and the above program will not give us any information of the material numbers that are deleted.
    By using this program, it might happen that new material numbers which are required are deleted. In this case, it will be difficult to refresh ZVD_MAT for those new material numbers.
    Can anyone suggest if there is any other way or programs/transactions to check the deleted materials?

    Hi,
    Try using the program
    RSDMDD_DELETE_BATCH
    Selective Deletion Using the Report
           1.      Enter report RSDMDD_DELETE_BATCH in ABAP Editor (transaction SE38) and create a variant for it.
           2.      Execute the variant.
           3.      Enter the InfoObject whose master data you want to delete.
           4.      In Filter Data, you can specify which data you want to delete.
           5.      You can specify a deletion mode for the data (parameter P_SMODE).
    More information: Deleting Attributes and Texts for a Characteristic
           6.      You can simulate the report before running it (parameter P_SIMUL).
           7.      You can schedule the report in the background. If you want to clear up your master data at regular intervals, you can also integrate the report into a process chain using process type ABAP Program
    or you can use function module as well
    Check if the function module RSDMD_DEL_MASTER_DATA
    Couple of import parameters:
    I_IOBJNM -
    Give info object name
    I_T_CHAVL---Characteristic values
    I_FLG_FORCE_DELETE-- to force delete
    Use I_FLG_SIMULATION to simulate first and then delete
    Thanks and regards

  • Why can I no longer add photos my iPhoto book? Is there a limit to the number of photos? Must I delete unused photos??

    Why can I no longer add photos my iPhoto book? Is there a limit to the number of photos? Must I delete unused photos?

    This is book # 13 and I've not encountered this problem before. I am dragging photos into the sourse pane but they are not imported. I have other books w/ over 700  pics (not all used) but this has only 300+ so far. I've copied the book to a pdf and it looks as if I'll have to redo it unless there's another solution.

  • HOW TO Delete Unused Media from FINAL CUT PRO

    *HOW TO DELETE UNUSED MEDIA FROM HARD DRIVE IN FINAL CUT PRO.* Keywords: disk disc drive space remove compressor
    SUMMARY:
    Say your original clip is 10 gigs, you can use only what you need and delete the rest from your hard drive. I know people on the forums say to just buy another hard drive, NO! It took 2 days to figure out but here it is!!! Email me if needed at [email protected]
    QUESTION:
    I captured 1 hour of video at a time and now want to delete from my hard drive all the parts I don’t want to use. I have 300GB of junk on my hard drive and I only want to use a few scenes using a few megabytes, so that I'll get most of my 300GB back!!!!
    ANSWER:
    In final cut on Mac, click on one small clip (to get familiar with process), go to “file”, “export”, then “using compressor”. This will open compressor software. Your file will open in the left top window. Then you need to batch the job or jobs. IMPORTANT: I’ve also solved the Compressor problem when you press “submit” to a batch and it states “Cluster: None”. Search forum for “In compressor you experience what I have”.
    <Edited by Moderator>

    Part of the problem could lie in the fact it's an imovie project coming into FCP, wouldn't rule that out. Second my be the terms you use and what you expect to happen. For example, a subclip is just a smaller clip subbed from a larger clip. It has nothing to do with media management. But you can media manage a subclip and delete the unused media.
    Try this (be sure to back up the original clip first). take a long clip into the viewer, make an IN and OUT duration of like 30 frames and then subclip that, Modify > Make Subclip. a new subclip will appear in the browser with a torn clip icon and the name Subclip. Right click on the subclip and choose Media Manager.... Check the Delete unused media from duplicated clip. As you toggle that the green Modified bar at the top change from the full clip size to a tiny modified size. If it does not then one of two things ... user error or the system is screwed up. That's the easiest way to test media manager.

  • How do I delete unused footage but not mess up my project file?

    Here is the direct quote from the iMovie 08 Tutorial.
    "If you try to delete an Event that has clips being
    used in a project you will see an alert window.
    Choose Delete Unused to delete only the clips in
    that Event that are not being used in a project."
    I have been taking 50 minute videos on my camcorder and uploading them to the iMac. On about all of the clips I only use 5 minutes of footage. I was looking for a way to save space and I found this quote in the iMovie user guide, so I tried it.... but it messed up every single one of my projects that had the event files clips in them. The footage i needed still showed up under the event, but none of my projects that used these clips were working. Did I do something wrong?
    Has anyone else had this problem?

    I'm confused now but then it could be the sort of thing that needs to be actually seen. Don't have an Apple Store nearby you could pop into to ask a genius do you?
    I'm successfully removing unwanted footage without affecting the project as long as the footage isn't in a project. There was one moment where I got the warning signs in a project and the thumbnails went blank but restarting iMovie fixed that.
    Maybe if you described the exact process you've been through from start to finish as far as rejecting and removing footage goes I or someone could see where you went wrong.
    With something new like iMovie 08 I think it's probably best to start with just one project, exploring all the features including removing footage so that you get a good grasp of it before really getting stuck into it. I wish I'd been a bit more patient myself.
    Have you fully explored iMovie's Help topics for "Removing unwanted video from your hard disk"?

  • Cant locate offline clips after deleting unused media using Media Manager

    Hi,
    I recently used Media Manager for the first time to clean up an old project of mine, and delete unused media to save some space. Having read and re-read all manuals/help I proceeded with the 'Use Existing' command in the Media Manager...and now a big portion of my files are offline.
    There was no option to 'save to a location' but when I go to 'reconnect media' the pathway for these offline files is -
    Macintosh HD:private:var:tmp:folders.501:TemporaryItems
    and the clips are labelled with '-2' or '-3' after their name.
    Ive used spotlight and searched through my HD and lacie - and I cant find the location above at all! Im getting worried, as i need to go back into the project to make some really minor changes but cant face re-capturing material then eye-matching the shots ive used, it will take days! These clips must be floating around somewhere on the system?
    Please please help! Thank you!!

    Thanks Chris - I can go back to my source material although dont know if I can batch capture ok as the source material was captured in an old version of FC Express and had been moved over to my new FCP 4 - dont know if this might cause problems...i hope not!
    Regarding the backup of source material - just wondering if theres any other way to make those files smaller - it seems a waste of valuable storage space if Ive captured say an hours worth of footage but only ended up using 20 mins of it in my end sequence (for example). Is there no way to get rid of that extra 40 mins of media that ill never use again?

  • Backing up a "Delete Unused Media" Master.

    When we're finished editing a program on FCPro (latest version, with almost new computers) we'll go thru the Media Manager and use "Delete Unused Media" - and then save that (the folder and Sequence clapperboard)onto a DVD-R.
    Works great. And almost always restores perfectly.
    But sometimes, although we shoot on a CF Card (Canon XF300 camera and a Panasonic HVX200) the client will give us a Betacam tape, we need to capture from that - and of course Media Manager won't take "just a short clip" we use from that card. As I understand - it doesn't have the proper Time Code or something like that, not really relevant to my 'issue' here!
    But then the "Delete Unused Media" files can be 12 or more gig. so it needs several DVD-r's to write to. We use "BackUp" the Apple program that comes with Mobileme to do this as it seems to understand how to breakup a large file to multiple dvd-r's. Usually restores them just fine, too.
    But it can be a little flakey . . . it crashes more often than it should during this lengthy procedure. We'll get a BackUp Failed" error. When we click 'history' we see some vague (to us) like "An internal application error has occurred. The archive could not be created. End Backup at . . . "
    Doesn't help us much. We're using v 3.2 of BackUp. We'll have the same problem on a specific job with 3 different Mac's - so it's not "the" computer. Anyone have any experience with this . . . ?
    It does work most of the time, seemingly intermittent when it fails.
    Finally, maybe the easiest solution is to use some other program to backup to DVD'r's. Anyone know of any program that will backup large files (like Backup does) to multiple disks?
    Thanks very much,
    Larry

    Hi Meg,
    Thank you for your thoughtful response. BOY, did you open a can of worms around here! Either I just learned something VERY important from you that I didn't know (that I should know!), or perhaps you're mistaken in this particular instance ('cause I didn't make it clear in my original post - as it wasn't directly about THIS issue you've answered) - but in the back of my mind it IS a good issue - we'll see.
    I did not know that about the reel name! I believe you're saying as long as it has a reel name - the Unused Media "portion" of it will be deleted when I do a DUM. (Delete Unused Media!)
    OK - so we shoot on our Canon XF300 before I import it, I see it automatically names the Reel "Canon XF" and all the footage I shoot on the CF card - the DUM works perfectly. It also HAS a reel name!
    But then the client give us an old Betacam tape - and we capture the footage from that. Say it's a 30 minute tape. What I've found - and we're trying to figure out how to avoid - is if there is a 30 second scene on that 30 minute tape that we incorporate into the sequence - when I DUM the sequence - it will save the entire 30 minute tape! Even though we just want to use 30 seconds. That's how it works. Now I don't remember if we "name" that Betacam tape as a reel - we probably do, but I don't remember. But are you saying . . . that if the "capture" (whether from analogue tape or digital cards) has a REEL NAME - the DUM feature will work?
    I sure hope you're right - because so far - DUM works for us perfectly - EXCEPT when I include 'old' footage from Betacam or M2 tapes. Of course, that creates a very big file we're NOT wanting 95% of. So I think you're saying if we go back to the DUM sequence and "name" the beta tape - (if it isn't now) - then the DUM feature will work perfectly, as it does now on everythig else.
    Thank you Meg - this is important to us as it comes up all the time.
    Now pretend you're wrong and the Betacam footage DOES have a reel name. A workaround would be to take each clip we use from the Betacam tape and make a self contained movie of those few seconds, and use that on the timeline. But that would be really bulky. I'm really hoping you're right about the reel name. Have you had any experience with this?
    Really thanks, Larry

  • Behavior of "Delete Unused Tracks"

    *DELETE UNUSED TRACKS*
    A. When invoking a key command for the "Delete Unused Tracks" function, as in L7, it takes multiple key presses to cause all unused tracks to be removed from the arrangement. (This behavior applies when deleting tracks that never contained any automation data). +Not a terrible problem, still somewhat annoying.+
    B. If automation is written to a track but that track ends up being unused (contains no regions), Logic doesn't recognize this track as an unused track and thus cannot be deleted using the Delete Unused Tracks function. +Understandable operation.+ However...
    C. If automation is written to an unused track, but then all automation (and any existing regions) are erased from that track, Logic doesn't recognize this as an unused track and thus it cannot be deleted using the Delete Unused Tracks function. +I find this behavior problematic.+
    Furthermore, this behavior remains even if the associated audio object is deleted from the Environment; in this case the resultant track, now assigned "No Output", cannot be deleted with the Delete Unused Tracks function.
    Comments?

    This has been going on a for a while in my experience. The behaviors you mention were happening for me in Logic 6 & 7 as well. It is weird, but I must admit, I kinda got used to it... As you said, invoking the commands multiple times eventually achieves the result... Kinda strange, as it makes you think a bit about what 'might' be contained within the track data.

    Matt

  • How to delete unused audio files in a project?

    Hi guys,
    The question is fairly simple:
    How to delete unused audio files in a project?
    I can't manage to find the answer in the manual,... all I could find is how to delete audio outside used regions!
    But in the projects I use, I have loads of outtakes which I don't use in the project anymore, and now, I would like to delete them of the audio folder to save space on the HD.
    Can Logic select automatically the takes in the audio files folder which are not used in the project and delete them??
    Because there is hundreds of audio files per project, and +/- 50 projects, I just can't do it manually.
    Thanks,
    Fred

    Whoops! Yes, I knew that but a cow flew by... Sorry!
    The procedure I follow is to do what I described then Save as Project, creating a project folder. That way only the required audio is saved to the folder and I delete all temporary stuff. However, if you have folders with shared material, it's much harder and would require you to go through all your projects doing Save as Project before you could delete your old working folder.
    When doing day to day work, best practice is to create a new folder and only use Save as Project when you're working on stuff. Shared material (eg sample libraries etc) can go elsewhere and you can get Logic to copy those to the project folder automatically.
    Otherwise, Shift-Backspace in the Audio window, as you rightly say

  • Deleting unused media in Media Manager not working

    This is one of those cases where I get really frustrated with Apple...
    I've captured some footage from VHS using 'capture now', and the media that was created has a bunch of blank frames at the beginning and end. I'd like to remove the excess media from the clip to save space.
    I'm following the directions EXACTLY as shown in the section "Creating Independent Media Files From Subclips After Capturing" from the Final Cut Pro User Manual on page 377 selecting subclips I want to keep and using Media Manager to delete unused media, but my media hasn't gotten any smaller, and the blank frames in the original media are still there if I reconnect it.
    Furthermore, I've tried using media manager to copy the referenced media (from a subclip) to a new clip, and it just copies the whole file.
    How can I get rid of this excess waste of space!!?

    Well, does this footage have timecode? A REEL number? If you captured as NON-CONTROLLED device the footage might not have timecode, and without timecode the Media Manager cannot track exactly what you want to remove...what footage you want set aside and copied as the rest is deleted. This is also the case if you don't have a reel number. You might have 5 clips all with the same starting timecode but no reel number.

  • Deleting unused footage in the Event library?

    I always make an edit of my videos and therefore end up with a fair amount of footage in each event which is not needed any more.
    Is there a way of deleting unused footage from a specific project from it's event?

    Use the Reject Tool to drag with your mouse over the frames you don't need. They will be marked with a red bar underneath. If you want to reject a whole clip, you can right-click and reject the clip that way too.
    Then, select "Rejected Clips Only" in the selection box at the bottom.
    Finally, click "move rejected clips to trash".
