Delete only the Fact table using process chain?

Hi Experts,
I have an issue,where i have to delete the contents of the Infocube.So when i drag the Process type "Delete Contents of the Data target" into the process chain.I Am able to delete the contents of the cube.
But in my case i need to delete only the FACT table and not the DIMENSION table.The system does prompt a message to delete FACT only /FACT & DIM TAbles.
Please advice if its possible to Delete the FACT table only using process chains

Error for the fact table while processing the cube - attribute key cannot be found when processing

Please help as I am new to SSAS and this is urgent requirement. This is a MOLAP cube and below is the error that I am receiving when processing the cube. The cube is set to Prrocess Full. Several similar errors are popped up for various dimensions.
"Errors in the OLAP storage engine: The attribute key cannot be found when processing: Table: 'Fact_Table', Column: 'ID', Value: '1'. The attribute is 'Id'. Errors in the OLAP storage engine: The attribute key was converted to an unknown member because
the attribute key was not found. Attribute Id of Dimension: 17 - Ves - PoC Cont from Database: DB, Cube: IPNCube, Measure Group: iSrvy, Partition: Partition1, Record: 1."
Thanks in advance.

Thanks for the recommendations David.
It will be really great if you can clear some of my doubts:
To my information, all the dimensions need to be processed first and then the fact table will be processed.
So if the ID's are not present in the dimension tables, then it should not be present in the Fact table either.
Here we found null values in the dimension table and the ID's were present in the Fact table. What might be the reasons causing such situation?
Also how frequently the cube needs to be processed? Currently the ETL which processes the cube, is scheduled in a SQL Job Agent on hourly basis everyday.
Is there any possibilty that the cube might be under processing state and the SQL job for the next run getting executed trying to access and process the cube while it was still processing?

Selective Deletion From Cube and ODS using Process chain

Hi all,
is there any way that i can include selective deletion in a process chain, there is no stand process types for selective deletion, I need to delete the closed items from cube and ods and i need to schedule this??? any ideas?
Thanks,
Shetty.

Shetty,
You can delete Data from this using One custom Program. You need to use either RSDRD_SEL_DELETION(function module ) or RSDRD_BUILD_REPORT_FOR_BATCH(Function Module). there is a parameter in above functioen modules I_THX_SEL which needs to be populated using selections.
or
You need to schedule the Background job from Manage screen on Monthly Basis(Provided that selection should be fixed in every month).
I will update the thread with psudo code.
all the best.

Delete some hierarchies using process chain?

Hello,
I wonder if there is anyway to delete some hierarchies from InfoObjects using process chain.
For example:
- In the product InfoObject, there are 5 existing hierarchies which are HIER1, HIER2, HIER3, HIER4, HIER5.
- In the process chain, there is a schedule to load product hierarchy every week.
- The requirements is to delete HIER5 before loading HIER5 into the product InfoObject again and would like to add this process in the process chain as well.
The final solution that we think it might help is by writing in ABAP.I'm not sure if there any alternative way to serve this requirement without using ABAP program?
Any suggestion would be sincerely appreciate.

Record count is more in the Fact tables when compared to Cube data!

When i delete request from my cube it is not getting deleted from the fact table. Cube shows around 3.5 million records but when I checked in the fact table it was showing more than 11 million records.

Hi Kingsley,
   You may try this approach.
   1. Use TCode listschema
   2. Select the type of cube abd give the cube name as well.
   3. This will display the table sinvolved in the cube(star schema).
   4. Select the Ftable listed there and see the number of rows in it.
   Inorder to delete the entire data from cube, you may need to delete all the load requests that has happened before as well.
   Hope this helps...
Thanks,
Raj

Mapping the Fact table to different levels of a dimension

Hi,
I have a fact table which stores the data for 4 levels of the dimensions. The aggregation method was taken care by PL/SQL and the fact table will have the data for all the 4 levels. When im trying to map all the levels to a column in the fact table using the OEM, it is generating the F KEY constraints referncing the columns mapped for the various levels of the dimension.
The problem is that im using a denormalised table for maintaing the values of the dimension. So the columns mapped for the levels(Except for the lowest) can't have the unique key defined on it. The cube is not getting created because of the error in creating the F KEY.
Can u please suggest how to map this fact table.
Thnks,
Manohar Vanama

I am not exactly clear on your schema but I believe you are trying to map tables which are not strict star or snowflake. This means that you cannot use CWM1 (and OEM), unless you change the structure of the tables. You might be able to map the tables with CWM2. The document below will assist you:

Deletion of changelog data using process chain

Hi All,
I have a requirement where i have to delete the changelog data for particular set of data using process chain.we have an option of deleting the entire data from changelog but how to delete only a particular set of data?????

If you are on BI 7 than,
Choose "Deletion of Requests from the Change Log" from process category Further BI Processes by double-clicking.
Create a new process variant and in the variant maintenance screen select Type of Object as Change Log Table
Under Name of object select DSO name
Specify the requests that need to be deleted by determining the days or dates. You also have the option to specify whether you only want to delete successfully updated requests, and/or only incorrect requests that are no longer updated in an InfoProvider.

How to delete requests in PSA using Process chains

Hi All,
Can anyone explain me how to delete all the requests in PSA using Process chains.
This is what I did...
1. use Process type 'Deletion of Requests from PSA'
2. Settings:
Object Type - PSA table
Object Name - <Datasource name>
Older than - 0 (Zero) days
These settings doesn't work. Can you please let me know exact settings to use for deleting all the requests in PSA of a datasource.

Hello Praveen,
That's what I thought too. But if I use '1' one day, what if I need to run it twice same day? So this doen't work for my requirement.
Any other suggestions?

PLEASE help!! I use Outlook for my email and the Mail App Icon that is in my dock, that I know nothing about, was also storing all my emails. So, I tried to delete ONLY the emails in the Mail App but somehow (under Preferences maybe?) I also deleted ALL my OUTLOOK emails in my inbox. Can someone please please tell me if there is a way to get my Outlook inbox emails back OR EVEN the emails that were in my Mail app - because even tho I never use the Mail app, at least the emails would be there.
When I was trying to delete the emails in my inbox for the Mail app - I followed THESE directions. It did in fact clear my inbox for the Mail app. But then I went to log on to my Outlook account and EVERY SINGLE EMAIL was gone. And not in the Deleted box. Just gone. Here are the directions I followed that screwed everything up. Please help.
Top menu bar, Mail > Preferences > Accounts > Mailbox Behaviors.
Uncheck "Store deleted messages on the server".
At the drop list for "Permanently erase deleted messages when", choose "Quitting Mail".
Next...
Top menu bar, Mail > Preferences > General.
At "When searching all mailboxes, include results from", uncheck "Trash".
Select All = command A

i found out my prob!
here is what you do.
go to the "system preferences" on your dock.
click "software updates".
click "installed software"
if it shows something about a recent update about "EFI UPDATE, FIRMWARE, THUNDERBOLT" or anything like that, exit out of it.

hit the "+" (right next to the "-") and add your accout back!
its something with that update that effected mail, i hope this works out for you, if not reply back

Need help in triggering the Data stream load using process chain

Hi Guru's
is it possible to trigger a data stream load using process chain?
Any help is highly appreciated.
Thanks
Indiran

Hi Indiran and welcome aboard!
Don't think this is possible. SAP BW & SAP SEM-BCS are rather independent systems. Though, BCS lives on top of BI-BW stack, it even may have master data different from those in BW.
Process chains, AFAIK, is completely the BW's feature. Certainly, you may use PCc on BW side, loading ODS/DSO and cubes involved in BCS data model.
The main con here is the lost transparency -- you don't control everything from the consolidation monitor.
The pro side is also rather obvious for me. Since, very often there is a huge difference between data quality at the data source and in the BCS totals cube, I need to make a lot of data transformation. Not only some data calculations or cleaning, but also transformation of data model: key figure model -> account model. It's much more easier to do in BW, for me.
I even call the ODS/cubes/routines involved in such transformation as intermediate layer, the layer between data source and SEM-BCS.
And this layer lives rather independently from BCS.
Hope this helps.

Delete Master Data using Process Chain?

Hi Friends,
How do I delete Master Data using Process Chain?

Hi Bhanu,
I am not sure why we would want to delete MD. But that is the task given to me. I actually know it is not possible. But is there a way to delete MD using chains?

How to delete Master data using Process Chain

I need to delete data in respective data targets such as Infocubes, DSOs & Master data Infoobjects. It was fine with Infocubes & DSOs using respective process type. But the issue is with Master data Infoobjects.
Is there any process type by using which I can delete data in Master data Infoobjects using process chain?

Murali,
Master data object process type is not there because in BW, master data is conformed or is shared by other infoproviders. Due to this dependency, master data loading is a bit more complex. You need to drop all the data from all the infproviders which are using the master data you want to delete.

Selectively deleting load from ODS using Process Chain

Hi All,
I have a requirement in which I have to delete the last load of the current month if any and leave the load of the last month untouched which has to be done using process chain.
I will try to elaborate the condition required like say we have a data for June in the ODS already (date 10) and when the load for July will come it will not touch the June data but on 2 July the load of first July will be deleted without touching the load from June 10. (The PC will run for the first 10 days of the month).
How can this be implemented, There seems to be some FM for this but are there any other method by which the same can be implemented without much use of ABAP.
Any relevant suggestion would be awarded points
Regards,
Samved

Hi Bhanu,
Thanks for the reply.
I tried to generate the program but that can be used for selective deletion from the ODS i think soo.
But my requirement is basically to delete the complete request from the ODS and not any selective deletion and at the same time I cannot use the complete deletion option as that will delete the request from the last month also.
Are there any optioin at the level of Info package which can be used for these type of deletion.
Regards,
Samved

Delete Initialization using Process Chain

Hi Experts,
How to delete initialization using process chain? Additional question, why does our DTP couldn't get any data from PSA? We just transfer our DTP to other process chain and left its associated infopackage from the original process chain but when we check our extraction, our DTP always gets zero (0) records. What do we need to put in our DTP settings? and infopackage and DTP should always be in the same process chain??
Thanks,
nips

Hi UserPV,
Thanks for your inputs!
Anyway, our InfoPackage in the other Process chain executed succesfully and has an extracted data. Now, our DTP can't get any data from the PSA where the extracted data of InfoPackage resides first. Is there any other way around to separate DTP and its associated infopackage in different process chains? Or those objects should be in the same process chain?
Another questions, how can we delete an initialization using a process chain? and is there a function module that can we use to remove the initialization request so that we could re-initialize a process?
Thanks,
nips

Archiving using Process Chain, writes to archive but doesn't delete data

I have created an Archiving Process for a cube, and set it up to automatically start the "delete". I then created a process chain to execute the Archiving Process.
When I execute the process chain, here's what I notice in the joblogs:
1) Archiving job runs, writing the selected data to archive file
2) A separate deletion job is started, but the deletion job runs in "test" mode (which seems kind of like simulation mode) and identifies the records it would delete but it never actually deletes the data from the cube.
3) In SARA (Archive Administration), this run shows up as an "Incomplete Archiving Session", showing that archiving step was complete but deletion hasn't occured.
I am able to delete the data by running the "Delete" manually in SARA and then the "Archiving Session" goes to "completed" status. When I run it manually from SARA, the job log shows that it is running in "production mode" and not "test mode".
My question is... Is there a way to start the deletion in "production mode" and not "test mode" when I run the process chain?
Or is this a bug, that I should report to OSS?
Thanks much.
Padmaja

Hello,
You can set the Production Mode in Customizing
Have you tried with this function module ARCHIVE_OPEN_FOR_DELETE
Also see [Developing Delete Programs|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/2a/fa0495493111d182b70000e829fbfe/content.htm]
Note 1119944 - Archiving request:Production mode instead of simulation mode
