Can we delete master data in SE14?

Hello all,
we changed one of the navigational attributes from time dependent to time independent when we transported it from dev to production the transport failed because the infoojebct could not be activated.
It wants us to delete all master data related to that attribute (so basically delete all Master data for that infoobject ) and the re-activate the infoobject.
There are way too many cubes and DSO that have data and have to be deleted before doing this infoobject, so is it ok to delete data via SE14 then activate the infoobject and reload all the master data for that infoobject.
Is this ok to be done? do you seen any issues that we should think of before hand? We have authorization do that.
Please let me know.
Thanks.

Sathish,
Thanks for the reply but it will not delete all the master data right? Since the infoojbect is used in multiple cubes and ODS's and they have lots of data in it right now..
Or we will have to delete data from all these ODS and cubes before deleting data from infoobject.
If all the master data is not deleted can I still activate the infoobject for change in time dependency to a particular attribute?
Thanks again.

Hi Gurus:
I need to get rid of Leading Zeros for Material Number. My understanding is I need to do ALPHA conversion.
I did the follwing Steps:
1. Delete data from ODS
2. Delete Data from Master Data 0MATRIAL.
Although I deleted data from ODS, still when I try to delete data from 0MATERIAL it is giving me some error saying there will be still some data left.
3. I went to RSD1 and tried to do ALPHA conversion. I m getting following errors:
Master Data Table /BIO/PMATERIAL conatins data: Characteristc 0MATERIAL can not be activated
SID Data Table /BIO/SMATERIAL conatins data: Characteristc 0MATERIAL can not be activated
Test Data Table /BIO/TMATERIAL conatins data: Characteristc 0MATERIAL can not be activated.
Suggest me what I need to do.
Thanks in advance for your help!

I did the follwing for 0MATERIAL. But getting errors.
fill the internal table "MONITOR", to make monitor entries
CALL FUNCTION "CONVERSION_EXIT_ALPHA_OUTPUT".

How to delete Master Data

If I want to delete Master Data that has already loaded ,Do I need to select delete with SIDs / without SIDs ?
Please let me know the reason as well...
thanks

Hi,
the best way is to delete with SIDs.
Anyway, you can only delete master data if you have no data into the transactional data target (ODS or CUBE) where this master data is contained.

Using SE14 to delete Master Data

Hi,
I have to delete master data of several InfoObjects and I'm trying to find a way of doing it as fast as possible, eventhough I have many dependences between InfoObjects.
I know I can use transaction code SE14 to delete master data, but I do not know if it will also check the dependences between other objects as if I do the deletion using the context menu on an InfoObject. Can anybody clarify this for me please?
Thanks,
Miriam

SE14 will not check dependencies. To delete master data see the following link

Deleting master data after loading transactional data using flat file

Dear All,
I have loaded transaction data into an infocube using a flat file . While loading DTP i have checked the option "load transactional data with out master data exists" . So transactional data is loaded even if no master data is there in BW.
While loading the flat file, I made a mistake for DIVISION Characteristic where original master data value is '04000' , but i loaded the transactional data with value '4000' .Then i later realized after seeing the data from the infocube and deleted the request. then i reloaded data with value '04000'. Till now every thing is fine.
But when I see the master data for DIVISION , i can see a new entry with value '4000'.
My question is how to delete the entry value '4000' from DIVISION. I tried deleting manually this entry from 'maintaining masterdata' , but it is not allowing me to do so .
I have also checked if any transactional data exists for that value '4000' , as i said earlier I have deleted the transactional data with that values. even tried to delete the entries from the master data table, but i donot see a option to delete entries there.
Please suggest me on this.
Regards,
Veera

Hi,
Goto RSA1 right click on the Info object and select Delete Master data. This will delete the master data unused existing in the table.
If this master data is not used any where else just delete the master data completely with SID option.
If even this doesnt work you can delete the complete table entire in SE14. But this will wipe out the entire table. Be sure if you wanna do this.
Hope this helps

Error while deleting master data (Message no. RSDMD118)

Dear all,
I am performing a test to create and delete new Company Codes in Consolidation Workbench.
Creation of new Company Codes went on successfully but deleting them give me the following error message upon saving:
Error while deleting master data
Message no. RSDMD118
Since they are new Company Codes, they have not been used and stored in any BW cubes. Any idea on why BCS prevents me from deleting them?
Appreciate assistance to troubleshoot and resolve this error.
Thank you.

Thank you both for your replies.
I am sure those are not the case here as I deleted the Company immediately after creating it.
Just to make sure, I performed "Where-Used List" again and BCS confirmed that it is not being used anywhere:
Use of: Company UAT1 UAT Company 1
Number of Uses Found: 0
However, the same error message was displayed again after I tried to delete the Company and save the configuration. Still can't find any solid reason behind this.

Delete Master Data - with or without sids

Hi
i am working on 0customer_attr
now when i right click and see master data it has 100 records
the same in r3 has 85 records.
so i thought i will try to delete master data and then load again.
so i right cick on 0customer and choose Delete master data.
now if i go back and see data for 0customer it still exists.
q1. what is the approach to delete and reload master data so between r3 and bw synchronization exists ???
q2. should i select with SIDS or without SIDS ???
how to rectify this error.
thank

Hi,
Q1..how can i find which transaction data is using those records ?
Doubleclick on the Master data IO. In the right pane you will find "Where-Used List" option. Click on that. It will give you the entire list of BW objects(DSO, Cube etc) in which your Master data IO is used.
q2. How can i delete transaction data
Right click on the Data targets(DSO, Cube etc) in which your master data IO is used, select the option Delete Data.
(or) Right click on the Data targets(DSO, Cube)>Manage>Select the Request-->Delete
q3. i dont see anything in psa,, it is master data so is that why there is no psa ??
Though it is a Master data, you should have loaded the data via DS so PSA will be there. It is possible that you might have deleted the PSA data.
Do one thing, delete all the Transactional Data(follow Q2 ans), then delete Master Data contents. Then do the loading again.
Hope it helps!

'Error occurred when deleting master data (RSDMD118)'

Helo Gurus,
When I tried to delete master data prior to the reload, its giving an error message 'Error occurred when deleting master data'. RSDMD 118.
We are currently working in BW 3.1. We checked for SAP notes for the same. But not Able to find any. So please help me to sort it out the problem as early as possible.

Hi Mathew,
Are you sure that those master data are not used in any infoproviders? As far as I know you cannot delete master data if that is used in infocubes or DSOs.
You can also try transaction SLG1 with:
Object = RSDMD
Subobject = MD_DEL
and click on "Execute", this might give you the reason why data cannot be deleted.

Deleting master data in a process chain via ABAP "RSDMD_DEL_BACKGROUND" ?

I need to delete master data attributes in a process chain.
Since there seems to be no predefined process type for this, I looked for an existing ABAP in the dictionary and found the ABAP report "RSDMD_DEL_BACKGROUND". I plan to call this ABAP in an ABAP-process-step in my process chain.
Unfortunately, I'm not shure how to set the input parameters:
report rsdmd_del_background .
type-pools: rsd, rrsi, rsenq.
parameters: p_iobjnm like rsdiobj-iobjnm obligatory,
            p_chabnm type rsd_s_cha_bas-chabasnm obligatory,
            p_delsid type rs_bool default 'X',
            p_deltxt type rs_bool,
            p_obj    like balhdri-object,
            p_sub    like balhdri-subobject,
            p_ext    like balhdri-extnumber,
            p_noprot type rs_bool.
Can anybody help me, with the settings needed or point out another way to achieve the deletion of master data attributes in a process chain?
Thanks in advance, Frank.

Hi Frank,
as I already suggested in a previous thread, try to look at the FM 'RSDMD_DEL_MASTER_DATA'(in the pgm LRSDMDU12)...but pay attention to the other elements that the system certainly checks in order to complete this type of process !
Hope it helps.

How to delete master data via process chain

Hi All,
I have to delete master data before loading it again via a process chain.
In the process chain I chose the process " complete deletion of the data target content" but here I did not find infoobject as the data target option to delete the data.
Please suggest how to solve this.
Thanks,
Harini

Hi Harini,
P_CHABNM - It is for the reference characteristic.
I think if you dont have a ref characteristic then give the info-object name.
This is what I fetched fom help.
Reference characteristic
The reference characteristic has the technical properties of a characteristic such as data type and length, as well as the master data (attributes, texts and hierarchies). The characteristic itself also has buinesses semantics. Several characteristics can refer to the same reference characteristic. Such characteristics automatically have the same technical properties and master data.
Example:
The characteristics sender cost center and receiver cost center use the reference characteristiccost center and with it the same values and the same texts.

How to delete master data of materials from sap tables

how to delete master data of materials from sap tables...its needed now.
i know its not recommended but still we need to do this. give me the best possible approach.
regards,
suneetha

Hi,
I would suggest you not to write your own code to delete the entries.
BAPI_MATERIAL_DELETE, this would mark all materials selected for deletion. But still the material would exist in SAP.
Another solution: Delete a material manually and in another session execute the transaction SM04. This would display the tables which get locked when you do the operation, Then you can write your own code to delete the material numbers from all the related tables.

DELETING Master Data from 0Material

Guys I am trying to Delete Data from 0Material, but when I run the FM RSATREE_PSA_DELETE_BATCH and check on T-Code 'slg1' it says the following,
<b>"Master data 070-310-0 (SID 652) is used in ZCONSIGNED_INVENTORY_BYMONTH and, therefore, not deleted."</b>
I have never come across where a query will be blocking data. The only thing that comes to mind is that it could be restricted by the data from the cube, and that is making it block the data.
Having said that, when I try to open the query , it is all greyed out. And I have also tried deleting the query by T-code "rszdelete", but it comes back with the following message
"Query object EU3SUSBZ4KR0Z75SUZRNBDSX0 is blocked. Deletion has been cancelled."
any ideas!!!

Hi,
no you just can't "clear" these table unless you want to screw your datawarehouse....
the first message means that the material with SID 7 is used in a hierachy of 0MATERIAL ==> adjust the hierarchy first.
the second message indicates that the material with SID 5316 is used in the ICube 0RT_C07 and you CANNOT delete master data if it is used in other objects.
First run RSRV for this dimension in order to see if the DIMID is really used by the fact table. Perform the following test "Entries Not Used in the Dimension of an InfoCube " with your cube and dim.
if the DIMID is not used then "correct" the error; you'll then be able to delete your SID.
If the DIMID is used then you'll have to delete your cube data if you really want to delete this material; otherwise you'll have to keep it.
Finally rerun you master data deletion.
hope this helps...
Olivier.

Anyone can help me to solve the problem?
Or do I have to delete this infoobject and recreate it, then transport to PRD system?
Thanks in advance
Ji xiaodong

Hi,
infoobject ZCCPT_S is used in any infooprovider (DSO or Cube), first delete the data in that and then try to delete master data for this infoobject, there is error deleting infoobjects SID's. i think that is why this error is coming. so first delete the data in infoproviders.
go to infoobject ZCCPT_S -> using where used list see where it is used .
