Delete Keyfigures in cube

Hi,
Can we delete keyfigures from a cube ?

Hi sai,
it is always better to use MultiProvider, also with only one Cube.
The reasons are:
you can arrange Dimensions in cube from a performance perspective, while in Multiprovider you can define Dimensions on a user point of view.
also if you have started with a single cube maybe tomorrow you will need to add another cube (maybe for a logical partitioning performance point of view), and if you have built all your queires on the multiprovider you will not have to re-create all your queiries.
Ciao.

What is the difference between methods of deleting data from cube

Hi,
Is there any differences, pros and cons for deleting data from cube by:
1) deleting the specific request loaded into the cube
2) using selective deletion with specific characteristic values
Assumption for the above is both the options will delete the same data set.
Thanks and regards.

Hi BW Beginner,
Yes, of course, there are differences.
Selective Deletion:
PROS: You can use to delete data that satisfies a certain criteria (e.g. some characteristic values).
CONS: I think this locks the whole cube during deletion
Deletion by request id:
PROS: You can easily delete all data that belongs to a certain request id (i.e. you can easily delete a bad load).
CONS: If you have already compressed the cube, you can not use deletion by request id to delete a certain request.
Hope this helps.

Selective Deletion of the Cube contents in Abap Program of the PChain

Dear Experts
I need to selectively delete the contents in Basic Infocube using Process Type - ABAP Program in the Process Chain in BW 3.5
For this I have to give the Variant and Program name in the Process Type - ABAP Program in the Process Chain
The ABAP Program for this purpose can be generated automatically by the system in the the below navigation
info cube> Manage>contents > system menu(in the Top)> Status
but this abap program is changing dynamically every time and hence in the Process chain ABAP Program node is failing with error saying that that program is not available
I have tried the same way in the selective deletin navigation path also in the cube manage
Please let me know how to get the system generated program to use in the Process type-ABAP Program in Process Chain
Thanks for all in advance
KSR

Hi KSR,
Try this.. start a selective deletion on the cube. you will get a background job running. Get the job name from SM37.
Now write a ABAP program with the below code.
parameter: p_Job_Name type sysuuid_c.
CALL METHOD cl_rscrmbw_bapi=>exec_rep_in_batch
EXPORTING i_barepid = l_jobnam.
Execute the above program. Pass the job name which you got from SM37.
Create a variant with that job name.
Now schedule this newly created program. This should solve your issue.
Note : The job name might vary from one server to another (Dev / Qual / Prod). So if you are planning to move your process chain from Dev, then pass the Job name (in prod) as the variant in yr Dev system and then transport it.

Periodic housekeeping/data deletion in OLAP cube

Hi All,
We have a cube partitioned on date.Our agreed retention period of data is one year.Can you please suggest any standard daily housekeeping way to drop all the partitions older than 365 days.(Grateful if you give little details as-well).
NB. We do not want to delete all the data and load last 365 days data - daily!
Many Thanks,
Avishek

Well, got the answer in the oracle documentation: Whenever a Calendar value is deleted from the Time dimension, the corresponding empty partition is deleted from the cube.Thought the info could be useful to others-may be;) .. ~Avishek

Selective deletion on info cube taking long time.

We have a cube with line item dimension and partioned on Fiscal year. When we are doing selective deletions on the cube on 0fiscper (removing the old redundant data) it is taking quite long time (approx 10 hours) to do this selective deletions as there is huge data in the E fact table ,Request older than 4 days are compressed in the cube and it has some millions of records in this table.
Is there any way we can improve the performance of this selective deletion? Any improvements suggestions we are on sap BW 3.5 system.

Hi,
The issue is very specific .
I recommend to check if there are defined matching indexes which fit to the where clauses of the delete statements. This will make the access to the record most effient.
All other indexes need to be just deleted for the time-being and re-created after the clean is completed. This will save the time for updating the indexes.
The deletes should be performed in bulks - i.e. many, e.g. 25, 100, more at once. If deletes sqls are send from ABAP to database one by one there is huge overhead in the network traffic time.

Sylvia

Selective deletion for particler cube and rebuild of aggrigates in Psystem

Hi Friends,
1.In my manage data target screen i have 8 cubes but i want do selective deletion from 1st cube ..how i can do ..?
Im thinking like...IN DETILS column i will select.one data target and then i will go to contents tap and then selective deletion for paricler requst ID...is correct to do selective deletion for particler data target out of 8 cubes..plz tell me
2.in production ...while doing selective deletion ...aggregates are failed...means status is in red color...
now,how can i create or build or rebuild those aggrgates again...please and my qns...
Thanks in advance

Hi
1. technically Yes its ok to do selective deletion of only 1 cube, incase of delta load you will have to do selective reload to only that cube otherwise data for that perticular selection will get doubled in rest of 7 cubes.
Actually depends on situation in which you plan to do so.
2. its possible to aggreegates get affected due t selective deletion.
Just go to manage->rollup tab of cube and rebuild agreegates.
Hope this helps.

Delete rows from Cube

Hi,
How can we delete some rows(rows only) from a cube? I can see duplicate data and want to remove them. Please help.
Regards,
Sam.

hi sam..
Do you know which are the request IDs with 'duplicate' data? Check them monitor for these 2 request IDs to see when it was loaded. If you are loading deltas to the cube, then normally you should not get duplicate delta...check to see if one of them was loaded as a full load with some selections. You can also see the user ID to find out who did this and if there was a reason to do so.
In the end, if the data is just a double then you should be able to delete the extra request
If you cube is compressed you'll have no chance to figure out from cube duplicate records since they would be aggregated form the compressed data part.
For the part which is not collapsed we would need a program in order to out double records. If you have a characteristic or a combination of chars (excluded the request ID of course) which would uniquely identify a record then the select statement wouldn't be complicated.
The other way, as already suggested, is to analyze the history of the loadings and identify full requests and/or successions of delta+delta repeats posted to this cube. They are some technical tables enabling this kind of analysis, RSREQDONE, RSICCONT, RSSELDONE.
Even finding out the data posted wrongly (by request), you'll need to still have your PSA data in order to correct these postings.
You could identify the records that are duplicated and you identify the PSA that duplicates data (if you still store the PSA data) and change the values of key figures multiplying by -1 and pass the negative values.....the aggregation will make that the values return to the right value......if you dont have the PSA records.....and still you could identify the duplicated records you could create a file wityh the same data and with negative keyfigures and load it....it wikll have the same effect
hope it helps..

Delete data from Cube which is uploaded to Open hub

Hello Friends I am required to delete the data from GL Cube, But it is connected to 2 Open Hub
which has one as table /BIC/OHZZIGL_C10 defined in Open hub destination. I deleted the data from this table in SE14, but still when I try to delete the data from cube it throws the below error
Please help me how to now delete the data from cube, when should i go in open hub t delete all the uploaded requests.
Request 1.882 already updated in target 3.913 by DTP request DTPR_4CU6JHRJ7MY889A7XBUJ0GDVK(ZZIGL_C10)
Thanks
soniya

just check on your datamart status for that request. Go to the manage screen of your infocube and check where all that request got updated using datamart status.

Problem with delete index of cube in process chain

HI ,i have a problem with my process chain,here on process name as delet index is ther which has been turned to red.when iam going inside of that in Display message iam getting the msg as"Indexes for InfoCube SMS_C06 have been deleted successfully".
since the process is in red next process is not been triggering,but i have to continue the process chain.
can anybody put some light into it.its very urgent........

Hi,
I ran into the same situation with one of my process chain that is part of a metachain. The process chain has the Delete Index that turned red. But the messages show that the indexes on all the cubes were deleted sucessfully.
As suggested, I did a repeat on the delete index variant, but no luck as it turned red again.
Anyone aware familiar with this issue?
Thanks,

No Selective Deletion on Inventory Cube 0IC_C03 via Calendar Day

Hi,
I need to repair my Inventory Cube 0IC_C03 for a certain date. To do that, I need to perform a Selective Deletion on the Cube and perform a FULL REPAIR REQUEST limited on that day only.
But to my surprise, I could not find a Calendar Day entry in the "DeletionSelection".
Is there a workaround or do I need to switch on anything?
--Jkyle

Hi Roberto,
You are too humble! Everybody knows you are the ONE
(he heh from the MATRIX movie)
Anyway, I dont think Export Datasource would help. As you may know, Inventory Cube 0IC_C03 uses 2LIS_03_BX and 2LIS_03_BF data sources. This CUBE is somehow special.
To cut this problem short, I'll go straight to the point. How could I perform INIT via 2LIS_03_BX and 2LIS_03_BF w/o R/3 downtime at all? The reason I came to this Selective Deletion thing is to patch up the mess the INIT would introduce when there are users around by using a REPAIR FULL REQUEST only for that single day...
I hope you get what I mean...
Thanks!

Deleting Request from cube based on Selection Condition

HI All,
I have a scenario where i have three selection condition while i update from ODS to CUBE . I keep getting differnet versions of the file so the latest version should replace the old version , to do this i tired using the option
Delte Request from Info Cube after Update in the Data Tagets tab
And the Radio button Overlapping is checked . ( This is not working )
The three selection conditions in Info Pacake are
Reduest id from ODS : 11111
Cal Month                 : 20072
File Type                   : B
The selecion condition for the second Version in Info Pacake of the same file that should replace the first file in cube is
Reduest id from ODS : 22222 ( The request id is RID in the ODS for second file )
Cal Month                 : 20072
File Type                   : B
so can any one let me know how can i achvie this ........

Hi Abraham,
   You select the variable deletion conditions when you schedule the InfoPackage that is going to load the new data. On the Data Targets tab page in the Automatic Deletion of Similar/Same Requests from InfoCube column, you click on the pushbutton to go to the Deletion of Requests from the InfoCube After Update dialog box.
Here you determine under which conditions existing requests are deleted from the InfoCube:
·        You can include update modes, InfoSources, DataSources, and source systems for requests.
Example
Requests are deleted when the appropriate deletion conditions are met if existing requests and new ones were loaded from the same DataSource.
·        You can determine whether the selections for the new request need to be the same as or more comprehensive than the selections of the request that is to be deleted, or whether the selections for the new request need to completely or partially overlap the selections of the request that is to be deleted.
·        You can specify deletion restrictions according to date. This means that, when the deletion conditions are met, only those requests that were loaded within a specific time period are actually deleted.
Example
If you choose Data for the Request from the Last Seven Days, only those requests are deleted that have been loaded in the last seven days.
·        You can specify situations in which a request is not to be deleted, even if the appropriate deletion conditions are in place.
Example
If, under Exceptions, you choose the Today is the Last Day of a Month, existing requests are not deleted, if the new request is loaded on the last day of a month.
·        Another option for determining deletion conditions is creating a user routine for the InfoPackage and the InfoCube. In this routine you can exclude requests from a deletion process or include additional requests for deletion.
Check conditions again, it will work, if selection and data source is same.
Hope it Helps

Deletion of Info cube request

Hi Experts,
Currently I am working on BI 7.0.
Here is the scenario, Actually I want a such setting so I can delete the previous Info Cube request while scheduling info package for new request.
Actually in 3.0 we had this functionality in Info package "Automatica loading of similar/ Identical request from the Info cube" where we can select the radio button to delete the previous request from Info Cube.
Do we this type of functiobality in BI 7.0?
Regards
Sujay

Hi Sujay,
Netweaver 7.0 does not support the feature you are talking about, it is possible only in 3.x.
You could however incorporate this step 'Delete Overlapping Request' using a process chain. Thats what I do, I too had an issue on this earlier.

Manu

Delete request in Cube - Urgent

Hello,
I am not able to delete the red request in Cube and the request in DSO were deleted.When i try delete the request, it'll be there in the cube.Please do let m,e know, what i have to do for this issue.
Thanks,
Madhu

Hi,
Are you loading data from ODS to CUBE?
If yes first delete the datamart symbol in ODS and then Change the request QMstatus to RED for CUBE and Delete it now.
NOTE:Assign pts if it helps.
