Data Transfer Process and Delete Overlapping Requests

Hi All,
We are on BW 7.0 (Netweaver 2004s).  We are using the new data transfer processing and transformation.  We want to use the ability to delete overlapping requests from a cube in a process chain.  So lets say we have a full load from an R/3 system with fiscal year 2007 in the selection using an infopackage.  It gets loaded to the PSA.  From there we execute the data transfer process and load it to the cube.  We then execute the delete overlapping requests functionality.  My question is, will the DTP know that the infopackage selection was 2007 so it will only delete requests with selections of 2007 and not 2006 from the cube?  Basically, is the DTP aware of the selections that were made in the infopackage?
Thanks,
Scott

Hi Everyone,
Figure it out...on a data transfer process you can filter the selection criteria - go to the extraction tab of a DTP and click on the filter icon.  Enter your seleciton conditions to pull from the PSA....these seleciton conditions will be used to delete the overlapping requests from the cube.
Thanks

  • Data transfer processes and info packages in new client

    Hi,
    We have created new client from the development client.
    The Info cubes and update rules are available in new client, bu the data transfer processes and info packages are not moved to the new client.
    What is the actual sequence of steps to be followed when new client created from development client. Have I missed some sequence or steps. What are the sequence of steps to be followed when created a new client.
    Kindly suggest to resolve this issue.
    thanks and regards
    Murugesan

    Hi,
    I have never seen clients created on the BI system. As such all the objects in the BI system are client independent as well as the data stored in the tables does not have the mandt field. Hence you cannot distinguish different clients in the BI system. Also if you notice all the request in BI are workbench request and not customizing requests.
    I do not think this is a viable solution. Maybe you can contact SAP.

  • Process type "Delete overlapping request in cube " in process chain

    Hi
    can somebody suggest me where i need to place the process type "Delete overlapping request" for an infocube.
    Regards,

    Hi,
    When you use the corresponding process in the process
    chain maintenance screens to specify the conditions for
    automatic deletion, these conditions are applied to all
    the InfoCubes for the selected InfoPackages
    Overlapping: If you set this indicator, existing requests are also
    delete from the InfoCube if the selection criteria of the new request partially or wholly overlap the selection criteria of the request to be deleted
    Same or Comprehensive: If you set this indicator,
    requests are only deleted from the InfoCube if
    the selection conditions of the new request are
    the same as or more comprehensive than the selection
    conditions of the request to be deleted.
    Thanks

  • Data Transfer Process and Infopackage

    Are both Data Transfer Process and Infopackage the same...Can someone please explain... thanks

    Hi,
    Pl search the forum for these questions as these are mostly discussed in the forums.
    or simply google it...
    Now IP is mandatory and used to bring the data from source to PSA..
    and DTP is loading and transfering the data within BI itself.

  • 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?
    Also check: How to delete most recent request in a Cube by using process chain

  • 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

  • DTP and Deleting overlapping requests

    Do we have the option to delete overlapping requests when using DTP to load data? Thanks

    hi ,
    Pls create a process chain.
    1. Add Delete Overlapping Requests from InfoCube .
    2. In the deletion selection check : Conditions:
    mark : Only delete request from same DTP
    Only delete full DTP request
    Only delete full DTP request from Same source
    Then Mark : Overalapping.
    In the DTP : Add date in the Filter .(Cal/Year Mth) ..You can use variable also.
    hope this helps ..

    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.

  • 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.

    Hi,
    Whenever you load a data(eg full load). you can delete the previous request and you can load the new data. That's a called deleting overlapping request.

  • DTP Questions: Delete overlapping requests;  Repair Full Request

    Hello,
    I'm new with the DTP concept in BI 7.0.
    It is clear to me how DTP is working for normal loads like: full, delta, delta without data transfer etc.
    But I don't see where I can specifies "Delete overlapping requests". Is this still possible in a DTP, or is it only possible by creating a Process Chain and insert the process-type "delete overlapping requests" ?
    Also I have a question about "Repair Full request" using DTP.  Is this option still possible ? Or do I have to create a DTP with extraction-mode = Full => Extraction from Active table.  => Is delta than still working ?
    Thanks for your input,
    Wim

    <b>But I don't see where I can specifies "Delete overlapping requests". Is this still possible in a DTP, or is it only possible by creating a Process Chain and insert the process-type "delete overlapping requests" ?</b>
    This option is available <b>only in Process Chains</b> when u use DTP's.

    <b>Also I have a question about "Repair Full request" using DTP. Is this option still possible ? Or do I have to create a DTP with extraction-mode = Full => Extraction from Active table. => Is delta than still working ?</b>
    Full Load was made Repair Full to Initialize if loading an ODS but however you dont need to worry abt the same in Netweaver 7.0 as DTP is taking care of the loading from PSA to DSO.
    Initialization can be done after a full load as the load is <b>only till PSA</b> ( At Datasource Level ).
    DTP doesnot require any initialization.
    U can jst do a Delta DTP after a Full DTP to a DSO or u can even start with a Delta DTP directly.
    For the first time  -> Delta DTP = Full DTP !!

  • Delete Overlapping Request from InfoCube.

    If anybody have better solution please let me know.
    Thanks,

    Also
    I am not deleting Index  OR  Not creating Indexs while using process type "Deleting overlapping request InfoCube"
    what will be the impact on the cube?
    How many index will have infocube?
    If the cube having more than one index if i delete index, which index will be deleted?

  • Delete Overlapping Request

    Hi All,
    I am trying to use the process type Delete Overlapping Requests from cube in Process chain after loading the data from the Infopack full load and DTP Delta .  With the infopackage selection in process type the message after execution is no overlapping request found.
    Deletion selection I used is Full or Init loads, Same Datasource. and Selection are same or more comprehensive.
    And in the infopackage I dont have any selections.
    Please help me to solve this error.
    Regards

    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.
    same or cmprehensive.
    the other variant is defined as the same but with another DTP name in object type..
    the Output of the cube will be only latest(current day) requests..

  • Delete overlapping requests from infocube

    Hi ALL,
    I have loads to infocube from  5 diffrent infopackages loading adhocly or randomly from same source sytem and same infosource.
    Note:infopackages have dynamic selections.(ex calweek,product)
    My requirement: If i load infopackage-1 today,and when i load the same infopackage next time the prevoius load should be deleted .
    I need the same functionality for other 4 infopackages.
    So at given point of time i should have only 5 requests in the infocube.
    These are the settings i have done.
    1)At infopackage level i have selected option Delete existing requests : overlapping
       Without selecting any conditions like infosources,source sytem are same.
    2)Added process type in the process chain delete overlapping requests from infocube
       selected option: Delete existing requests : overlapping.
       Without selecting any conditions like infosources,source sytem are same.
    Are these settings are enough or is there in best way to do this .
    Please suggest me ...

    Kishore,
    Delete overlapping requests means, delete request with same selection only. If data selection not same, i dont think it will delete any previous request.
    You can select infosource, source system. No issues. System only deletes request if data coming from same infosource or from same source system for same selection.
    But in your case selection changing every day or for every load. I dont think it works.... Try once in DEV.
    If i understand correctly, as you only needed latest 5 requests only, why cant you delete data completely before loading / starting new set of requests...?? This is easy, quicker and better approach.
    But only problem is data will not be available during loading of new set of requests.
