Delete older data via process chain

Question

Business needs only data for the past 45 days at any given time and the data loads are daily basis via process chain.
so I would like to have a step in Process chain to delete any data older than 30 days from today's date , on a daily basis.
How can I do that in the Process chain?

Answer 1

Hi,
You can use a process type called Delete overlapping request from Infocube in process chain. To delete requests older than 30 days select Deletion selections and write ABAP routine under Request selection through routine using following template.
Routines for determining the old requests to be deleted after successfully loading a new request.
form compute_<InfoCube-Name>
  tables l_t_request_to_delete structure rsreqdelstruc
  using l_request like rsreqdone-rnr
  changing p_subrc like sy-subrc.
*Insert Source Code to decide if requests should be deleted.
*All Requests in table l_t_request_to_delete will be deleted
*from Infocube <InfoCube-Name>.
*Add new requests if you want to delete more (from this cube).
*Remove requests you did not want to be deleted.
$$ begin of routine - insert your code only below this line-
     loop at l_t_request_to_delete.
     endloop.
     clear p_subrc.
$$ end of routine - insert your code only before this line-
ENDFORM.
hope it helps...
