Delete "ghost" objects in XI

Hi all,
   I need to delete some old objects that are still in XI.
   The point is that, I do not find these objects using the Integration Reposiry Tool but I do see them when using the Adapter Monitoring. Usually, the MDT gives me information about the SERVICE, etc so that I can search for it but sometimes there is nothing there.
   These objects were developed long time ago but, the developer, removed it from the scenario but did not delete it. Now I am trying to clean up the directory but I have no access to this objects.
   It would be really apreciate if you could point me any other way to find them in XI.
   Thanks in advance and kind regards,
        David Encinas.

In the IR you can see a TAB named OBJECTS, here you can see all the object irrespective if it is used or not you can delete from here and activate , this will soleve your issue.
thankx,
shree

Namespace deletion error for ghost objects

Hi people.
I need to remove a namespace in ESR.
I have first deleted all objects and activated it and then I tried to remove the namespace from the Namespace Definition List.
After removed the namespace item and saving the change, I receive the following error:
Cannot save object Namespace Definition
Namespace cannot be deleted since the software component version still contains objects in namespace http://www.sapcons.com/Edm_EE/
Delete the objects first
In fact, running the Export functionality and saving the summary result in a file I have a list of objects but, at this point, I don't know how to delete. Could be a cache problem? I cleaned all cache available in Administration web page but without result.
Could someone help me?
Ciao
Nicola

Double clicking the software component, delete all the namespaces present in the software component, and do not save it.
Now delete all the default datatypes in all the namespaces present in the software component and now save the software component and activate the changes.
Now double clicking the software component> Goto Software component version menu> from the drop down select the delete option. this will delete the software component from IR.
Now goto SLD and select the software component and remove it.
Then clear the SLD cache. Now the software component will be deleted.

Can't remove ghost object in Pages doc imported from Word

Hi there,
I imported a Word .docx into Pages '09 for it's better layout and figure handling capabilities.
I ran into a few issues with page numbers from Word being converted to background/master objects, but overcame that pretty easily.
The problem I now have, is that it seems one of the figures from the Word document has become some kind of unselectable ghost object. Which is only apparent because text is inexplicably wrapping around an empty space.
I've tried all the tricks I've found to select background and master objects with no luck. Has anyone encountered this before?
I'm attaching a jpeg of a screenshot of what the document is doing. Invisibles are on, so you can see that there aren't spaces, tabs, etc or an object. Yet the text is wrapping as if an object were there.
I've already made edits to the file, so I would really prefer not to have to delete figures from the Word file and re-import to Pages to fix this...
Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks very much!

Ah great, it worked!
A warning to others, exporting to Rtfd and re-importing to Pages seems to have removed many of my tables and figures from the original document, in addition to the weird ghost figure. I was planning on cleaning up the figures anyway, so this is not a problem for me, but others who try this should be prepared to lose many (but not all, oddly) of their inserted objects.
Thanks very much Fruhulda!!

Active Directory Ghost Object replication issue

I have a Windows 2003, Single Forest with nearly 50 Domains. This is a constantly changing, deployable system where not all Domains are connected and online at all times.
Some months ago 2 of these domains were held up in transit and tombstoned. Before they were connected to the Forest again they went to our Hardware support department to be "cleaned" meaning remove dust etc, instead they wiped the arrays on all
servers.
Our Level 4 Support team reanimated these node after restoring them from a really old backup.
This backup did not refelect the AD as it was when it was deleted, therefore we have several orphaned objects form those domains. The Domains are functioning correctly and replicating, however, the GC in the forest is inconsistent and the orphaned/ghost
objects are still being replicated.
We have rehosted the directory partitions from the problem nodes to online domains which works fine, but as soon as another domain comes online the orphaned objects are again replicated into the Global Catalog. The nature of our system means that we cannot
control when the other domains are coming back online to rehost them before replicating the object items back into the GC.
I have made several LDAP queries and can see that the items no longer exist on the problem domain, the only reference to the objects is in the GC directory partitions of those domains.
The biggest issue I have is that these objects were mail enabled users and when the GAL queries the GC it is repopulating them.
I've hit a bit of a wall now and do not know how we can remove these ghost objects without having all domains online at the same time and rehosting the problem domains partitions forest wide. I'd appreciate any assistnce.
I have asked this question before but with less detail so I'm having another go!

An AD backup is as good as the Tombstone lifetime. By default the TSL of a 2003 forest functional level is 60. So if you haven't done this already you should probably configure a higher value for the TSL. By default Strict Replication
Consistency is also enabled to prevent DC that have been disconnected for a long time to propagate lingering objects into the AD topology, check to see if you have this enabled. You should use "repadmin" to remove the lingering objects.
"When a domain controller in your Active Directory environment is disconnected from the replication topology for an extended period of time, all objects that are deleted from AD DS on all other domain controllers might remain on the disconnected
domain controller. Such objects are called lingering objects. When this domain controller is reconnected to the replication topology, it acts as a source replication partner that has one or more objects that its destination replication partners no longer have.
Problems occur when these lingering objects on the source domain controller are updated and these updates are sent by replication to the destination domain controllers. A destination domain controller can respond in one of two ways:
If the destination domain controller has strict replication consistency enabled, it recognizes that it cannot update the object (because the object does not exist), and it locally halts inbound replication of the directory partition from that source
domain controller.
If the destination domain controller does not have strict replication consistency enabled, it requests the full replica of the updated object, which introduces a lingering object into the directory."
Also keep in mind that the Infrastructure Master role handles the cross-domain references and phantoms from the global catalog in its domain. Make sure that you either have all DCs as Global Catalogs or do not place the GC on the DC with the IM role.
Here are some useful links:

Log for Addition/Deletion of object in a Transport Request

Dear Friends,
Recently I had a issue where I tried deleting an object from a transport request and I got the message that object is deleted successfully.
But when the transport was imported then it failed with Sy-subrc 8 because of the same object in transport. The reason for the same could be :
1.) Either the object was not deleted from the transport request.
2.) Or Some one else added the same object again in the request.
I want to read the log of this transport in such a way that I see when a object has been added/deleted from a transport request along with SAP User ID of the person doing it.
Is this possible ? If so kindly share the steps with me.
Thanks a Lot for your kind help!!! This is very important for me....
Regards,
Lalit

Hello Lalit
I hope nothing of that sort is available as the transport requests will again have tasks under them.
The changes done to the task will have to be tracked in that case but SAP doesn't have that task change logging as far as I know.
All E0* tables relates to transports and objects under these transports none of them have logs on this nor even any transactions which allow user to edit the transport object.
You get an action log which provides who created it and who releaed them.
But if you configure CharM on Solution manager I hope you can track each changes.

Error in FM DDIF_NAMETAB_GET when deleting BI objects via transport request

Dear all,
when importing a transport request in which several types of BI objects are deleted (Infocubes, DSO's, transformations, routines, DTP's, query elements, infosets, process chains). The import terminates only when transporting from acceptance to production with return code 12 due to an uncaught exception:
Transporting from development to acceptance did not raise this exception.
The ST22 dump (see below) refers in the "contents of system fields" section to a DSO, and to post-import activities. The DSO and the associated tables could not be found (rsa1 & se16), since they are deleted as desired.
Some of the relevant notes that I have found do refer to DSO related problems, but they all indicate to install SP19 which we already have installed (BW 7.0 Patch Level 23)
Could you please assist in pointing out potential solutions based on the information from the ST22 Runtime Error below?
Kind regards,
PJ

Short text
    An exception occurred that was not caught.
What happened?
    The exception 'CX_RS_PROGRAM_ERROR' was raised, but it was not caught anywhere
    along the call hierarchy.
    Since exceptions represent error situations and this error was not
    adequately responded to, the running ABAP program

    terminated.
Error analysis
    An exception occurred which is explained in detail below.
    The exception, which is assigned to class 'CX_RS_PROGRAM_ERROR', was not caught
    and therefore caused a runtime error.
    The reason for the exception is:
    Error in BW: Error in DDIF_NAMETAB_GET

Hi All
We are also experiencing this same error when transporting deletions of multiple objects.
Although the transport was cancelled in the destination system (production) it appears to have largely deleted all objects successfully except for DSOs.
The DSOs still appear in the table RSDODSO (via SE11) but are not visible anywhere else. When you try to view the DSO via RSDODS a warning appears saying "DataStore object to be deleted by transport -> delete only allowed". If you try to delete them in this transaction the same ABAP runtime error as the transport appears.
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated!

How to delete all objects in a package?

Hello,
I've seen a similar question here. But is there a tool or a smart way to delete all objects in a dev class or a transport request?
Best Regards
Volker

These are really 3 questions??
1. To delete objects in a request there are a number of ways, here is one:
Position cursor on modifiable request.
Double click on request and choose 'Objects' tab
Choose object line you want to delete and click 'Delete'
Save your changes.
2. To delete objects in a Dev Class:
Go to work bench --> edit object, Class and give your class name, you will see delete option at the bottom of the screen.
3. How to delete all objects in a package:
here is a link with the steps you need for this: http://benxbrain.com/en/index.do?onInputProcessing(brai_object_thread)&001_threadid=0000161442&sysid=WP5&pgmid=R3TR&object=DOMA&obj_name=DEVCLASS&child_param=

Deletion of Objects in ABAP Workbench

Hi,
I want do delete an self defined interface in the ABAP Workbench. But for some reason it is not possible to delete this interface, although its not used anywhere. I got the message
Object cannot be edited with Class Builder
Message no. OO612
But where else should I delete the interface if not in the class builder or in the workbench?
Any ideas how to solve this problem?

Good day,
I also ran into this issue when trying to deploy some wd objects with SAPlink.
I managed to delete the objects by using the "OO_INTERFACE_DELETE" function module. There is also a function module called "OO_CLASS_DELETE" to delete classes.
In either case you just populate the parameters in the following way:
INTERFACE (or CLASS) = <your class\interface name>
COMMIT = 'X'
FORCE = 'X'
Hope this helps.

How to create a deletion transport request without deleting the object.

Hi Experts,
I got a very strange requirement in which i want to delete a object from QA envirement. One way to delete it is delete the object in developement and save it in a transport request. And transport that request to QA.
But can't delete the object from Dev environment. So is there any other way by which i can do this.
Thanks
Yogesh Gupta

Hi,
You need not worry about deleting the objects in QA now.
Have the set of objects which you will not be tranporting to PROD.
After your project is live and during support before handholding to the customer, clean your system DEV,QUA.
Reward Points if Useful.
Thanks,

How to delete an object from a change master?

I have a situation where a PDM has copied a route (task list) that was tied to a change master and brought it over by mistake, the route was also copied to the wrong group number and counter. What I want to do is have the route deleted and recreated with it's own group number and counter 1, however because it is linked to a change master it keeps pulling in that same group number. Any idea how to correct this or remove the material from the change master, we've tried to delete the object but get the message that not all objects were deleted and it is still there.
Thanks in advance.

HI sathish,
1. If the old request is release,
   then we cannot do anything.
(There is no point in changing that old request)
(bcos its already released)
2. what can be done is that
   u save once again the objects,
   and it will once again ask for new request.
3. this time save it in new request

Project Online - Can't Delete Resource and User from Delete Enterprise Objects

I would like to link a resource account to a user account but I ran into an error: "The resource account
is already in use.". This is a known issue which I attempted to resolve by following the instructions in KB2881398.
However when deleting the selected resource from Delete Enterprise Objects I get a message indicating success ("The
selected Resources and Users have been deleted.") but the duplicate user is still in the listing in Delete Enterprise Objects and when attempting to link the remaining resource to a user logon account I still get the error
"The resource account is already in use."
Why is the user not deleted even though Delete Enterprise Objects reports success and how can I delete these duplicates to be able to successfully link the account?

Hi,
This might be due to your Exchange Sync issue, where your project workspace is unable to delete that user from local DB. Try following steps to diagnose the problem:
1) Go to your Resource Pool, DELETE a resource.
2) While resource is being Deleted, open another window
Server Settings -> Manage Queue Jobs
3) Here you can view the progress of your current Resource Deletion update, check if all goes smooth and your Resource is deleted successfully by showing process completion 100% :
( to view any error look at the
last column of table on Manage Queue Job page)
4) Cross check your Resource by running Resource Availability Report.
Basically this will give you a fair idea of your resource deletion problems and how system is responding to it.
