Delete orphaned objects in Prod system

Hi all,
When our BW landscape was set up years ago, some test source systems were created (along with DataSources etc) in the BW DEV system and migrated into QAS and PROD. The source system in DEV was deleted long ago, but there are remnants still left in our PROD system.
Since PROD is locked to any changes and Source Systems are not transportable anyways, I believe the only way to delete the objects in PROD is to have our BASIS team unlock the system and then delete the source system which should also delete any objects associated with it.
Just wondering if there any other options to remove the old objects from PROD, or if opening the system and deleting is the best way to go? Many of those were created as 3.x versions, and I am preparing for an eventual upgrade to our 7.1 system. Therefore, I am trying to eliminate or update any of these old 3.x objects to prevent any issues during upgrade.
Thanks!
Darryl

Hi Erica,
The best option to make the production and quality system in sync is to copy the Production system into the Quality system. Your basis team can do this. In this case, both the Production and the Quality system will be in sync and the development system will remain the same to update the the quality system at some later stage.
Hope this helps...

Deleting orphaned FIM MA CS objects

Has anyone ever found that they needed to do this, but couldn't afford to delete the entire FIM MA CS to achieve this outcome?
In my case I have a sync design which imports entitlement objects from two separate HR sources into FIM, but had the object deletion and FIM MA deprovisioning rules set incorrectly resulting in orphaned objects in the FIM MA when the source (projecting) MA
object was deleted. I have since corrected the rules, but had a few hundred bogus entitlement objects to delete out of FIM ... and wasn't prepared to work through the FIM Metaverse and manually disconnect each one ... and with no guarantee that I had
solved my design problem yet, there was a chance they would come back again anyhow.
So I needed to come up with a clever way of deleting these, and resorted to an old fashioned provisioning MVExtension to achieve this. Here is the code snippet for my Provision method:
void IMVSynchronization.Provision (MVEntry mventry)
// disconnect any orphaned entitlements (this should be unnecessary
if we can work out what is generating them)
if (mventry.ObjectType.Equals(Properties.Settings.Default.EntitlementMVObjectName)
&& mventry.ConnectedMAs.Count.Equals(1))
ConnectedMA fimMA = mventry.ConnectedMAs[Properties.Settings.Default.FIMMAName];
if (fimMA.Connectors.Count.Equals(1))
mventry.ConnectedMAs.DeprovisionAll();
What I want to know is how others have approached this problem themselves. I don't know if I really want to leave my MVExtension wired up forever, and am thinking there's probably a better way. I can already hear Carol asking "why wouldn't you just
use a PowerShell script?", and I can see how I might be able to copy the table results of an MV query from the Identity Manager into the clipboard, and paste it into a CSV, then process the CSV ... but there may not always be an easy way of identifying these
objects with such a query (although there probably is!).
Any other ideas people?
Thanks.

I accidently provisioned a few hundred objects into the FIM connector space, however they were never actually provisioned to the FIM portal due to attribute violation. Long story short, these objects had nothing to match on aside from their guid. So
what I did was:
Use PowerShell to find the CS DN of each orphaned object (link)
Correlate these DNs to MV IDs
Export the MV IDs to a csv file
Create a tab-delimited MA, with a simple join rule - to join on this MV ID
Configure deletion rule to delete MV object when <new MA> object was deleted
Run a full import and sync (this joins to all the orphaned objects)
Delete the <new MA> CS and then the MA itself. This removes the orphaned objects per the deletion rule in #5.
sample code:
#Import the FimSyncPowerShellModule Module
ipmo FimSyncPowerShellModule
$maNAME = 'Contoso FIMMA'
#Get the last export run
$LastExportRun = (Get-MIIS_RunHistory -MaName $maNAME -RunProfile 'Export')[0]
#Get error objects from last export run (adjust your filter as needed...)
$errorObjects = $LastExportRun | Get-RunHistoryDetailErrors | ? {($_.dn -ne $null) -and ($_.ErrorType -eq 'failed-creation-via-web-services')}
#Build the custom Output Object
$outputFile = @()
$errorObjects | % {
$TmpCSObject = Get-MIIS_CSObject -ManagementAgent $maNAME -DN $_.DN
[xml]$UserXML = $TmpCSObject.UnappliedExportHologram
$MyObject = New-Object PSObject -Property @{
MVObjectID = (Select-Xml -Xml $UserXML -XPath "/entry/attr" | select -expand node | ? {$_.name -eq 'MVObjectID'}).value
$outputFile += $MyObject
#Output to file
$outputFile | Export-Csv -NoTypeInformation $env:USERPROFILE\desktop\Deletions.csv

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.

How to delete a object in ODS

I am facing a problem in deleting a ZOBJECT which was mistakenly added in two ODS.
When I try to delete the object, it says that -
cannot delete/move the locked info objects.
(Infact, this object is unlocked).
I opened the ODS from which it has to be deleted, I tried in Extras unlock objects. When I select this option it giving me a warning that data in the ODS will be lost.
This ZOBJECT has been moved to Prod. System in other ODS. Now I need to delete this object which is in ODS which is in development. This wrong ODS and object is not transported. I need to delete this only in DEV.
Could some body explain me how to delete the ZOBJECT from the ODS?
Thanks
Ravi

HI Ravi,
In general u vl face such error if u try to delete object from a ODS that has data already. So, in order to overcome this error try removing data from ODS and perform required action. You cannot remove objects from ODS without removing data from ODS.
I hope it helps you.

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

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!

Error while generating export datasource in Test and Prod system

Hi experts,
I tried to generate export datasorce on a cube in teh testing system so that i can use this as a datasource for another cube. I did this so that i can transport all teh relevnt objects from D to T. But Iam gettin teh following erro msg
System setting does not allow changes to be made to object ISTD 80CRM_PRI.
while Prod system produces teh follwoing error msg
Changes to Repository or cross-client Customizing are not permitted
Choose 'Display object' or 'Cancel'.
After i have done this and when i go to the context menu of teh infocube i can see maintain export datasource option.
Also I couldn't see the infosource generated in Infosources ( FYI I have already done display generated objects under settings)
Can anyone tell me how to proceed further.
Thanks,
DV

Hi DV,
Generally export datasource are not included in the request from the test server. It gets generated automatically when (ODS,Cube) based on which the datasource s transported to production / quality .
I think solution should be try not to include export datasource, infosource ,transfer rules to request from dev server.
Hope that helps.

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.

How to find who has deleted the query in Production system

I Experts,
I have an issue. Someone has deleted one query in Production system.
How can i find who has deleted the query??
I searched the ans for the same i the below threads :-
Query deleted in production
How to find out who has deleted the production Query
But it didn't help me as i couldn't understand how to use the transaction SLG1.. Can Someone please explain me how can i find out who has deleted the Query..
Regards,
Pavan Raj

Hello,
Please, remember the date on which date the query has seen last time in the production server. You can use the last date in the From date and To date would be current date and execute the SLG1 tcode. It would list you all the logs in the Object text you can search for BEX Query designer and sub object text column you can check for delete logs options.
Double click on the object will list you the query and name. From the user column you can find who has deleted the query.
Might be this can help you for analysis.
Thanks

Strange behavior of FILE-Adapter in PROD-System

Hello experts,
well we have a File2IDoc Scenario which is running fine in DEV.
Sender is a Business Service with FTP-Access and Receiver is a Business System with IDoc-CC.
The Service has 2 FTP-CC which are pointing in the same folder, one is reading txt the other csv.
When transporting both to PROD, the one reading txt is running fine. The one reading csv gives this error:
com.sap.aii.adapter.file.ftp.FTPEx: 550 CWD failed. "/Prod/SAP_Input/Liste_Input": directory not found.'
Funny thing is that in DEV the Path ends with "/" which i also configured in PROD but he is not understanding the path!! As mentioned, the txt-CC is reading from the same folder, here the path is accepted!!
So what can i do?!
What i already did:
1. deleted and re-imported the csv-CC + giving the path
2. restart FILE-Service in Visual Admin
Any ideas?! I have no clue!
br

Hi, ok thanks again.
I already enterd the FTP via console and it looks good for the path.
The strange thing is still that even when i delete the path and activate the CC in PROD the old path is still taken. After Cache-Refresh nothing changed.
So i deleted the CC in PROD and in DEV. In DEV i generated a complety new CC polling on the folder. Reconfigured the sender-Agreement, exported.
After importing in PROD still the old CC exists even though i deleted it! Checked CC-Monitoring, still same CC and same error concerning path!
So i went nuts and restarted whole server with DB. After server coming up again, i checked again for the new CC - but it's still the old one!!!!
So what is running wrong here?!
i am really desperate!!

BPS Log to find deleted BPS objects

Hello Experts,
Somebody might deleted few planning layouts and functions from production environment but we can see those objects in test and quality environment. Our aim is to know who, what and when deleted those objects. Could somebody let me know where BPS save these information as a log or in a table.
After getting these information how we can solve this issue?
This is a bit urgent issue.
Points will be awarded to everybody.
Thanks,
Harry

Hello experts,
where I can trace the deleted objects in BPS. somebody deleted some BPS layouts and functions from prod env and we want to trace who,when and what?

Consistency between dev and prod systems!!!!

Hi All,
I wuld like to check the consistency between Dev and Prod systems for all the Data model and other objects existing. I would like to do this sanity check to see whether the two systems are in sync. Are there any tools or transaction codes within SAP framework which can guide me in this direction.
Kind Regards,
Surya Tamada.

Hi Surya ,
First build whole data flow :
1 .Create Infoarea ,Infoobjects & Masterdata ,Infoproviders ,Infoobject Catelog under Infoarea,MetaData - Characteristics MeteData - Key Figures
2 DSOs ,Infocubes ,Infosets, Multiproviders ,Views in the development system ,Datasources for BW system,Flat File Datasources,Transformations
then get data from the se11 tables as per your requirement :
like RSDVCHA ,RSDBCHATR,RSDCUBEIOBJ,RSDICMULTIIOBJ etc and built view on it as per your requirement .
then built flat file data sources and transformation .
get all data downloaded to flat file in ur PC .In the same way from other system.
make flow from PC File Datasource -> DSO -> Infocube and build queries for different objects .load the downloaded files to them and then run query .
ex : query to compare cube will take cube name and systems name as input and compare objects .

Jaya

Integration Directory (ID) transport to Prod system

I am trying to move XI ID and IR to prod system thru file system transport. When I transport ID requests and activate it keeps complaining "Unable to move object. Change lists were not part of the same import"
I checked the ID there are no open requests in my id or others all have been closed.
I would also like to know if there is a way to completely transport the Integration Directory (ID) objects either scenario or service objects along with their change lists
Thanks
Subbu

hi,
Change lists were not part of the same import"
Make sure you have activated change lists open under ur id and check if any for other userid
 would also like to know if there is a way to completely transport the Integration Directory (ID) objects either scenario or service objects along with their change lists
Once you have activated the changelists you can either transport the whole scenario(right click on scenario and export) or transport individual objects using the tools-> export option on the tool bar of ID.
Cheers,

"Start Deletion of Data in Receiver System" does not start

I faced the problem tha data deletion in Receiver system is not started in TDTIM synario.
I started the activity "Start Deletion of Data in Receiver System" , the job "CNV_TDMS_09_RESTART_JOBS" is aborted till the job "CNV_MBT_CNV_TDMS_09_START_JOBS" is over in Receiver System.
The error message is "No log was created for object CAGTFBS and sub-objekt SLOMBT".
After The job "CNV_MBT_CNV_TDMS_09_START_JOBS" is over, the job "CNV_TDMS_09_RESTART_JOBS" is finished normaly but the no deletion job is released.
I carried out some deletion job by manual operation but other deletion job is not released.
Does Anyone knows the solution of this problem ?

Hi Joerg,
Thank you for your reply.
> Please check the syslog for any reference to bad defined batch jobs! (all on receiver)
Syslog is nothing in receiver system.
> Is there any deletion job that can not be startet manually on the receiver side?
> (So normally on top of the list of scheduled deletion jobs.
I think all deletion job can be started manually.
Nomally, some deletion job is finished, the job is released next deletion job but no deletion jobs is released.
In addition, If rerun job "CNV_TDMS_09_RESTART_JOBS" is finished, no deletion jobs is released.

Did you ever see that ?

There are several possibilities:
1) Could be caused by
multiple workflows trying to act on the object
2) Could be a flaw in the product like happened with an older version
(4.0.3594.2) the
kb article says: Fixes
an issue with SQL Server deadlocks that might occur during periods of high concurrency of requests or approvals.
So I suggest looking at the request history -- look at the delete request and see which MPRs were applied and what workflows were spawned.
Does this happen a lot or just once in a while?
