  • Bdoc recovery in CRM after deletion

    Dear SDN team,
    By mistake we have deleted/archived some BDocs in our SAP CRM 5.2 Prod system .
    We want to recover those BDocs to perform some analysis.
    How can we achieve this ?? Please help urgently.
    Points will be rewarded.
    Regards
    Ritvij

    Hi Ritvij,
    If a Bdoc is deleted, it will not be removed from the system immediatly. It will be "set" to delete status.
    But, if you run the m/w re-organisation job (which is usually scheduled to run periodically), there is a chance that it might have picked it and removed it for ever (unless you have some archive stratergy).
    So, if you have set your middleware re-org job to delete the Bdocs, then i dont think there is any way to recover it.

  • BDoc deletion

    Hi,
    We have few error Bdocs lined up in queue. These are not needed in CRM.
    BP's are not replicated from ECC & they are being created in CRM. SO bdoc R3AD_CUSTM from ECC are going in error.
    Similarly, we have not mapped equipment in CRM. hence,  bdoc type R3AD_CS_EQU are jammed.
    Please inform if ther is any method to archive these Bdocs. Or we can delete them.
    I fear we may need equipment in CRM in future. In that case will it affect the process.
    Look forward to  sugestions.
    Best regards,
    Rahul

    Hi Rahul.
    In transaction SMW01 identify the Bdoc message ID to be deleted. Now select one or multiple Bdoc messages to be deleted and click u201CMark to be deletedu201D button (beside u201CReprocess Bdoc Messageu201D). This will set the status of the selected Bdoc messages to u201CSet to processed (fully processed)u201D. These Bdocs will no longer be in erroneous status.
    Once you follow the below procedure and set the status of the erroneous Bdoc to u201Cset to processed (fully processed)u201D, please go to transaction SMO8REORG and delete the selected Bdoc. Using transaction SMO8REORG you can delete only processed Bdocs i.e. Bdocs in Green status. So first we have to set the Bdoc to green status in transaction SMW01 and proceed for the deletion of the same from transaction SMO8REORG.
    Note: To the best of my knowledge deletion of Bdocs is not advisable. This may result in inconsistencies between systems.

  • BDOC message flow and its architecture

    Hi Expert,
    It can be a simple question but i have a doubt regarding the flow of messages using SAP CRM middleware.
    The scenario is like:
    1. Message flows from ECC to CRM through a BDoc. (It can be opposite way also)
    2. The BDoc fails in CRM due to some data issue.
    3. A BDoc message id is generated.
    4.Now the data is corrected in ECC and initial load was triggered.
    5.The messages are flowing correctly.
    So my doubt is:
    1.What will happen to the old BDoc?
    2. Do the initial or delta load processes the messages with new BDoc ID or through the old BDoc ID?
    3. If the messages are processed through new BDoc id, can the old BDocs be deleted?
    Please help me understand this concepts of BDocs and please provide me to some study material to get more undertsanding of the BDOC message flow architecture.
    thanks,
    Vicky

    Hello Vicky,
    i think I understand exactly what your confusion is all about.
    1.What will happen to the old BDoc?
    The old Bdoc will remain in error state until it is archived or set to processed state.
    2. Do the initial or delta load processes the messages with new BDoc ID or through the old BDoc ID?
    It will be a separate BDoc with a new BDocId. If you get an Error in SMW01 this is beyond the queueing, so later Messages will not get queued behind your faulty bdoc. They will also not "update" your BDoc in any way. Later BDocs will Bypass a bdoc in error state and update your object in CRM if the error in data has been solved in ERP before. If the data error is not corrected, you will get a second failed bdoc.
    3. If the messages are processed through new BDoc id, can the old BDocs be deleted?
    Best practise for the Bdoc with error would be to set it to processed state. That way there is no way that Bdoc can be processed afterwards. The BDoc will then be archived with the next run.
    Best regards,

  • Is there any to recover CRM service ticket from BDOCs

    Dear SDN team,
    Some service tickets were deleted from our CRM system when I was re-processing BUS_TRANS_MSG type of BDOCs. Right now these BDOCs are kept in our CRM system in "Not Final" / "Intermediate State". The BDoc State Description is "After qRFC step(intermediate state)".
    Is there any way to recover these deleted service tickets from BDOCs ?
    Thanks,
    Shirley
    Edited by: shirley ren on Sep 4, 2010 5:07 PM

    Hi,
    Can you let me know how the Service Tickets got deleted when you reprocessed the BDOCs? Did you deleted those BDOC's? I created a Sales Order in my system and tried reproducing the same scenario. But, Re-Processing wasn't deleting the Sales Orders. You can still navigate to the Service Tickets by double clicking on them and then you can see them in the Classic and Bdoc Ext. data.
    I will also try to replicate the scenario. But let me know if you come across any more details. Also, any one order document should not be deleted from the system. It should be archived and then can be deleted after a long time. So, you can also check out with the basis consultant as to get these archiving strategy. Then you can retrieved these lost documents.
    Hope this helps.
    Thanks,
    Samantak.

  • Deletion or archiving

    Hi,
    I have lot of old data in the data base specially Business Partners & Old Campaigns.
    My client wants to get rid of them. Can I understand how we can achieve archival of Business Partners & Campaigns.Pls guide on steps.
    If I archive willl I be able retrieve in case they are needed in future.
    Regards,
    Munshi

    Hello Munshi,
    You can archive the data in CRM using txn:SARA.For this,
    1. Identify the data (BPs and Campaigns) in CRM for archiving. (There is no standard report or process available, customer can do this manually or write their own report).
    2. Archive these data (use transaction SARA) - Archiving will take a back up of these data and delete them from the CRM tables.
    Again customer has to ensure that these data are not used in any business transactions, otherwise there can be referencing issues.
    When data is archived in CRM Online the option to generate 'Delete Bdocs' should be checked.                  
    Also in case archiving is done make sure that Note 778229 is applied.                                                                               
    After archiving the data won't be visible in CRM Online and then when              
    you run ConTrans the archived data will be deleted from MSA. 
    Hope this helps!
    Thanks and Best Regards,
    Shanthala Kudva.

    Flow Context Description:
    Error message:

    Hope to hear something from you.
    Thanks and Regards,
    Mike

    Yes Mike,
    You first do the request download for one product for which the BDOC shows category related error to just see if that comes through fine. I have seen similar error in my scenario on a product category which had been in CRM from quite a long time (may be since beginning), but when I ran the request download for that product, it worked well. Similar could happen for you as well.
    If that does not work, then you run the product category download.

  • How to archive contact persons without relationship

    Hello,
    if in ERP a contact person of an customer (VD02) is deleted a BDOC is created for CRM.
    This BDOC deletes the relationship from the contact person to the account in CRM.
    In the meantime we have a lot of contact persons without any relationship in CRM because our CRM system is already 5 years in production.
    How could i flag this contact persons for deletion and archive them in the next step?
    Sorry for this maybe low-level question but i never did this in CRM.
    Our CRM Version is CRM70 SP05.
    Thanks a lot.
    Kind regards
    Manfred

    Hi Mandred,
    I would use t-code BUPA_PRE_DA, to mark them massively for archving.
    To find the contact persons without relations, you can first collect all contact persons in the system at BUT100 by querying business partners with contact person role, and the check in table BUT050 to collect the ones that have relationships.
    Then I would compare with first list (BUT100), and obtain the ones that doesn't have a relationship.
    Kind regards,
    Garcia

  • Mass Delete of BDocs in SAP CRM system

    Dear SDC team,
    We like to hard delete some BDocs which are hanging in the txn SMW01 in CRM 5.2 system.
    As of now we do not see a option to delete these unnecessary BDocs,  as they are in Intermediate state (I04) .
    Please tell us if there any standard report which can be used to do Mass Delete of BDocs in SAP CRM system.
    Or Is there any Tables which need to be emptied .
    Please help ..Points would be rewarded .

    hi
    Concerning the BDOCs without error, there is a job that you can schedule to run daily that cleans the BDocs processed without errors from the database.
    The details of this job are:
    Job name: SMO6_REORG
    Job program: SMO6_REORG
    Variants: SAP_MW_REORG
    Trace data (days to hold): 7 (recomended by SAP)
    Trace log (days to hold): 7 (recomended by SAP)
    Period: daily.
    Besides i should tell you I looked through Help and there are no best practices that I could find.We went through this process at one of my clients. They had 40,000 pluserror'd BDOCs and thousands of processed ones. The Middleware guycreated a program to delete the BDOCs that were over 2 months old andhad completed successfully to prevent the further build up of theseBDOCs. SAP Help says they are marked for deletion after they areprocessed, but it doesn't look like they get removed as wanted..
    From SAP Help:
    Deleting Processed BDoc Messages
    1. Processed BDoc messages cannot be archived.
    2. BDoc messages that have been processed successfully are marked fordeletion.
    Procedure
    To delete processed BDoc messages choose Architecture and Technology >Middleware > Message Flow > Delete Processed BDoc Messages
    The messages you selected will be deleted.
    and regarding deletion of non errant Bdocs
    Usually there are two schools of thought on this issue:
    1) Make the hard decision to go back to the beginning and startcorrectly all the things that caused these to error out (bank codes, taxcodes, config on R/3 side but not on CRM side, etc.). Then these can bereprocessed and everything will be brought up to date in the system.This takes time and may neccesistate hiring a Middleware resource for ashort term to help go through the process. The big part of this isidentifying those config items that are out of synch between R/3 andCRM.
    2) The other way to handle these is to go through the errors quickly,gain an insight into the cause of the errors, and correct the bigthings. Delete all the old error'd BDOCs and then bring down all the bigitems again - BPs, Sales orders, products, and so forth. This is muchfaster process, but has it's own risks and problems vs Option 1 above.As these items come in, if you haven't fixed the config problems, theywill error out again. It's a fix and move - fix and move process. In theend you may have some missing data still, but the time commitment ismuch lower. You just need to get leadership's buy-in to this process.
    Those error'd BDOCs are a problem and point out all the datainconsistencies that exist in the system. They are also a drag onperformance and need to be processed one way or another. After that,keeping them under a "1000" number is imperative. If you don't, theproblem will get away from you again.
    finally Some Transaction Codes that people might find useful for working withBDOCs:
    SMW01 Display BDocs
    SMW02 Display BDoc Summary
    SMW02A BDoc Messages: Show Top N Errors
    SMW03 Show stats of unproc. BDoc messages

  • Follow-up to archived thread "Another Error (I think) In the 12.1 New Features Guide"

    I hoped to be able to add a reply to the most recent reply on March 8 in the "Another Error (I think) In the 12.1 New Features Guide" thread (https://community.oracle.com/thread/3526588), but since that thread has been archived, I am doing what was suggested elsewhere: create a new thread referencing the old one. My reply is:
    Thank you for your explanation about preferring PDF over HTML. That is perfectly fine and understandable. Also, we very much appreciate your documentation feedback in this forum, and encourage you to continue to report any issues here.
    I apologize for not replying much sooner. I either didn't get or overlooked an original notification about "Recent activity" after your reply; otherwise, I would have replied then.

    Thanks for that comment. I have sent a pointer to it to the writer for that book. Note that with the New Features Guide, most of the content is automatically drawn from an internal system that tracks projects and features; so if a change is needed, the writer will notify the owner of that content (typically a developer or a product manager) to investigate and (if necessary) modify the underlying data, after which the changed information will be picked up for a future revision of the book.
    Also, while anyone is welcome to enter documentation comments in this forum, another option that may be more convenient for comments on specific sections is the Reader Comment area at the bottom of each HTML page (such as http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E16655_01/server.121/e17906/chapter1.htm#NEWFT495 for the page containing Section 1.5.9.8). Any comments entered in a Reader Comment area go to someone in our documentation production group, who forwards them to the appropriate writers.
    However, if a comment involves multiple HTML pages or books, or if you want the matter to be in a public forum for visibility and searchability, posting in this forum is a good option.

  • Issue MM PO Archiving

    Hello all,
    we had an issue in archiving Purchase Orders.
    Frist of all, we have a large number of open purchase orders. Means that the "delivery complete" flag is missing and the "final invoice" flag is missing.
    These PO´s cant be deleted.
    So these flags have to be set. We created a report which uses ME22N and sets those flags. After this, our issue appeared.
    Unfortenally many purchase orders created new messages and send them directly to the vendor. Had a lot of trouble with this.
    How can this happen? Why is this flag a indicator for message determination?
    How can i prevent this?
    I coud set the flags directly on the DB, but our company doesn´t want to make updates direclty on db.
    Any ideas?
    thanks for help

    Hi Christian,
    Other idea. If you don't want to change any customizing, you can create your own Outputs routine numbers in VOFM to rule this requirement. In SPRO/ Mat.managament / purchasing / messages / output control / accesses sequence, you can set it and avoid to create the message. See SAP Note 39462 - Expand field catalog in message determination for purchasing to create a new field (for instance, date of PO). You can set a condition to set SY-SUBRC = 4 (ie: output not created) if the difference in days is greater than n days.
    I hope this helps you
    Regards

  • How can I disable iMessages from archiving messages and attachments?

    I noticed while browsing ~/Library\Messages/ that iMessages has been archiving my messages (Archive folder) and saving attachments (in a separate Attachment folder). Under the settings for iMessages on OS X 10.8.2 Mountain Lion, I don't see any options to disable this. The only thing close to that is already unchecked: Save history when conversations are closed.
    Any ideas why iMessages is saving all this information? How do I disable it? My concern is that it's going to keep accumulating data overtime. I don't want to keep having to go back in there and delete those two folders constantly.

    Hi,
    This somewhat date back to the way iChat's Saved Chats were once Stored.
    At iChat 5 (in Snow Leopard) you could choose to see the last chat - (when opening an new chat with a person you had chatted with before) or parts of the Last Chat in terms of the Last so many IMs.
    Example Pic of iChat 5's Prefs
    Since then the management choices of the Save Chats has changed in both iChat 6 and Messages.
    Messages stores Chats two ways if they are iMessages.
    You can elect to Save them in Messages > Preferences > Messages.
    It also store the chat.db and other databases items which includes the Attachment items
    The chat.db is the bit that fill in the "history" if you iMessage the same person even if you are not saving the Chat in a formal sense in the App's Preferences.
    This is irrespective if your delete the Conversation from the Messages main window.
    How big these Databases get obviously depends on your iMessages usage.
    Striker's link seems to be about a similar issue on an iPhone (I presume it transfers to other iOS devices) but I am not sure that it is relevant in this situation.
    Edit.
    I should have been clear that you cannot change the database behaviour.

  • How do I manually archive 1 redo log at a time?

    The database is configured in archive mode, but automatic archiving is turned off.
    For both Oracle 901 and 920 on Windows, when I try to manually archive a single redo log, the database
    archives as many logs as it can up to the log just before the current log:
    For example:
    SQL> select * from v$log order by sequence#;
    GROUP# THREAD# SEQUENCE# BYTES MEMBERS ARC STATUS FIRST_CHANGE# FIRST_TIM
    1 1 14 104857600 1 NO INACTIVE 424246 19-JAN-05

    3 1 16 104857600 1 NO INACTIVE 425088 28-MAR-05
    4 1 17 512000 1 NO INACTIVE 425092 28-MAR-05
    5 1 18 512000 1 NO INACTIVE 425100 28-MAR-05
    6 1 19 512000 1 NO CURRENT 425102 28-MAR-05
    6 rows selected.
    SQL> alter system archive log next;
    System altered.
    SQL> select * from v$log order by sequence#;
    GROUP# THREAD# SEQUENCE# BYTES MEMBERS ARC STATUS FIRST_CHANGE# FIRST_TIM
    1 1 14 104857600 1 YES INACTIVE 424246 19-JAN-05
    2 1 15 104857600 1 YES INACTIVE 425087 28-MAR-05
    3 1 16 104857600 1 YES INACTIVE 425088 28-MAR-05
    4 1 17 512000 1 YES INACTIVE 425092 28-MAR-05

    6 1 19 512000 1 NO CURRENT 425102 28-MAR-05
    See - instead of only 1 log being archive, 4 of them were. Oracle behaves the same way if I use the "sequence" option:
    SQL> select * from v$log order by sequence#;
    GROUP# THREAD# SEQUENCE# BYTES MEMBERS ARC STATUS FIRST_CHANGE# FIRST_TIM
    1 1 14 104857600 1 NO INACTIVE 424246 19-JAN-05

    Is there some default system configuration property telling Oracle to archive as many logs as it can?
    Thanks,
    DGR

    Thanks Yoann (and Syed Jaffar Jaffar Hussain too),
    but I don't have a problem finding the group to archive or executing the alter system archive log command.
    My problem is that Oracle doesn't work as I expect it.
    This comes from the Oracle 9.2 online doc:
    http://download-west.oracle.com/docs/cd/B10501_01/server.920/a96540/statements_23a.htm#2053642
    "Specify SEQUENCE to manually archive the online redo log file group identified by the log sequence number integer in the specified thread."
    This implies that Oracle will only archive the log group identified by the log sequence number I specify in the alter system archive log sequence statement. However, Oracle is archiving almost all of the log groups (see my first post for an example).
    This appears to be a bug, unless there is some other system parameter that is configured (by default) to allow Oracle to archive as many log groups as possible.
    As to the reason why - it is an application requirement. The Oracle db must be in archive mode, automatic archiving must be disabled and the application must control online redo log archiving.

  • Archiving cds and why do i need id3 tags

    here comes another one of those questions looking at which codec to use to store music.....i also have tag questions.....
    i'm about to (re-)rip my cd collection and looking at some info re codecs and id3 tags
    now.....i believe i understand the benefits of alac (lower file sizes, keeping id3 tags, lossless compression) v wav(no compression)
    however (and for some out there) if we just entertain the fact that wav may have some minute benefit for me depending on my questions and answers given.....and yes i know wav and alac will sound the same to the human ear - i accept that as a given of lossless compression ......
    points i'd like to outline:
    i am looking to rip my cds, firstly and mostly, for an archiving purpose!! purpose numero uno!!
    i could well want to re-create cds with these archived records in the future
    size of files is of no concern to me at all
    i'm using a mac nowadays
    i will convert most of these files, where needed, to use with a portable music player (i'm not bothered with having, say a wav file and then also converting and having an alac file, as crazy as that sounds)
    this is where i ask for info re the benefits of embedded tags that are found in alac:
    are these tags that important?
    where do they come into play in ripping and later converting music?
    are these uses just bells and whistles that have no benefit to my needs?
    if i rip cds to wav (or aiff), say, using itunes, will cd info and track listings be available on the downloading database (eg itunes) to name these wav files?
    if i then ensure these song files are kept under the album's folder, have i just done what tags do? surely not. that is all i have needed in the past.
    this is where i feel i may be really missing what id tags (can) do
    are tags more than just managing song files and where they belong and where they have come from?
    is it just a convenience of not personally managing your song files (as per previous paragraph)?
    (in the past i had ripped cds to mp3 codec. i think i used "cd rip" or something like that on my pc.
    my mp3 files were individually named and sorted and kept under album folders under artist name folders.
    apart form the very odd occasion all track and album info i needed was found on a database that was attached to the ripping software.
    i never had a problem managing/maintaining these files and folders.)
    i welcome some enlightenment on some of my questions above and other info that may be relevant
    and yes, i understand that music will sound the same as a wav file or alac file - but humour me re using wav and tell me why i need id3 tags
    i guess the crux of it is:
    why do i need id3 tags?
    does my managing of my song file in the album folder do what tags do?
    what problems/shortcomings/headaches may i encounter by not having those tags if i use wav as opposed to alac?
    what do i not know about these little buggers?
    what codec is best for my purpose of archiving and re creating of cds (for playing in cd players)
    thanks in advance for your input and any clarity that i may experience through this

    as mentioned earlier if i just have songs (wav) in album folders, when i import these albums into itunes, do you know if these will come up under AN album with their file names purely using my filename setup (but with no artwork)?
    Yes, iTunes will read the filename, such as "Track 1" or something else and display it. But nothing else. No Album or Artist.
    so the tracks will remain grouped as an album based on their initial folder and the albums and tracks as per file name?

    also, does aiff have limitations (apart from the full size of the file)?
    I'm not sure I understand what you mean. For all practical purposes AIFF and WAV are exactly the same thing. They're just file containers.
    i thought that i had read somewhere that aiff tags could run into some issues with its tags - ie may not always be transferred 100% accurately with certain players (or hardware maybe)

    That's actually going to depend on what burning software you use. Once you rip the tracks to whatever file container you choose (WAV/AIFF/ALAC) you'll never really exactly re-create the album. But for archiving purposes all three file containers will do what you want, which is to create a lossless archive. AIFF has the advantage of supporting embedded ID3, which ALAC has the additional advantage of the files also being about half the size of AIFF/WAV files.
    i was thinking that maybe wav was able to recreate an album (in effect duplicate one) if my cd was lost or damaged in the future. i was thinking this IF when ripping to wav everything is unchanged (unless there is other data on the original cd). and maybe only possible with wav. the purpose for this would be to play recreated cds on my cd player
    any idea on this one?
    (i havent looked too thoroughly on this angle but i'll keep googling on this one)
    much appreciate all info thus far
