Delete overlapping request in DTP

Hi,
Is there an option to set "Delete overlapping request" in DTP?.

Helllo,
There is no direct option in DTP to do so, but u can do it via process chain.
You need to have your DTP set to full update in order to make use of it in delete overlapping request process type.

Delete Overlapping Reqeust in DTP deletes more than one request from cube

Hi all,
I have selected the following options in delete overlapping request as we need only one request in the cube.
Delete existing requests
Only delete request frm same same DTP
Selections are
Same or More comprehensive
Scenario is:
DSO>DTP>Cube
I have set this delete overlapping request in the DTP (in a processchain).
Now at the time i added this step in Process chain, there were two requests in the Cube (both with the same DTP but first one was 2009 data and second was 2010 data)
Need was to delete only the latest request from the cube ie 2010 data.
As per my understanding, i assumed delete overlapping will delete only ONE request i.e. the latest one from the cube with 2010 data. But when i ran processchain, it deleted both the requests.
Is that the functionality or is there something I am missing? We need to retain 2009 data and overwrite 2010 data with the new request.
Suggestions please.

Hi,
I suspect that you have not set any DTP filter criteria. Is this the case?
Are these requests delta DTPs or full DTPs?
Have you read/applied these notes:
1155723 P18:DTP:PC: Deleting overlapping DTP requests in PC
1318438 P21:DTP:PC: Change of instance when DTP in PC repaired

Hi
In the Delete Overlapping Requests from Infocube Process there is an button Deletion Selections Check what are all the options selected in that there are some 3 check boxes like
a) Only Delete Requests from Same DTP
b) Only Delete Full DTP Requets
c) Only Delete DTP Requests from Same Source
if option B is checked it will work only for Full Requests not for Delta. Check the same in your system.
Thanks

Delete overlapping requests of same DTP from cube

Dear All,
i want to delete over lapping requests of same DTP in cube, but here while i am searching for the DTP in process variant, the system is not showing the DTP(it is active).
can you people have any suggestions.
Br,
Vamshi.

Hey Vamshi,
Is your DTP a full one or delta one ? Delete Overlapping reqs is not possible for Delta loads.
In Load Process and Post-Processing option you will find Delete Overlapping Requests from InfoCube, drag and drop and make the following settings:
Object Type = DTP
Object Name : DTP Name.
Check Edit all InfoCubes with the following Delete Selections and click on Delection Selection
Check Delete Existing Request and check Only Delete Req from same DTP
Activate and execute the PC.
Hope this helps!

DTP Questions: Delete overlapping requests; Repair Full Request

Hello,
I'm new with the DTP concept in BI 7.0.
It is clear to me how DTP is working for normal loads like: full, delta, delta without data transfer etc.
But I don't see where I can specifies "Delete overlapping requests". Is this still possible in a DTP, or is it only possible by creating a Process Chain and insert the process-type "delete overlapping requests" ?
Also I have a question about "Repair Full request" using DTP. Is this option still possible ? Or do I have to create a DTP with extraction-mode = Full => Extraction from Active table. => Is delta than still working ?
Thanks for your input,
Wim

But I don't see where I can specifies "Delete overlapping requests". Is this still possible in a DTP, or is it only possible by creating a Process Chain and insert the process-type "delete overlapping requests" ?
This option is available only in Process Chains when u use DTP's.

Full Load was made Repair Full to Initialize if loading an ODS but however you dont need to worry abt the same in Netweaver 7.0 as DTP is taking care of the loading from PSA to DSO.
Initialization can be done after a full load as the load is only till PSA ( At Datasource Level ).
DTP doesnot require any initialization.
U can jst do a Delta DTP after a Full DTP to a DSO or u can even start with a Delta DTP directly.
For the first time -> Delta DTP = Full DTP !!

DTP and Deleting overlapping requests

Do we have the option to delete overlapping requests when using DTP to load data? Thanks

hi ,
Pls create a process chain.
1. Add Delete Overlapping Requests from InfoCube .
2. In the deletion selection check : Conditions:
mark : Only delete request from same DTP
Only delete full DTP request
Only delete full DTP request from Same source
Then Mark : Overalapping.
In the DTP : Add date in the Filter .(Cal/Year Mth) ..You can use variable also.
hope this helps ..

Delete overlapping request when month changes

Hi Experts,
Delete overlapping request works fine for all the days but when month changes it is not deleting the request as the filter value gets changed.
I have three Info Package and DTP like below:
Current Month -2
Current Month -1
Current Month
In January selection values are:
Current Month -2     201111
Current Month -1     201112
Current Month         201201
As the month changes, February selection values are:
Current Month -2     201112
Current Month -1     201201
Current Month         201202
We need the request which has selection criteria 201111 should stay, but 201112 and 201201 should get deleted as these two request are duplicated.
Please advice if we have any solution for this issue.
Suggestion will be appreciated.
Thanks,
Muiz Ahmed

Yes Sven,
You are correct,
31-Jan-2012 Current Month -1 had loaded 201112
1-Feb-2012 Current Month -2 had loaded 201112
Now I have to delete request which has got loaded on 31-Jan-2012.
For now I have deleted manually, but I want automate this activity, so no manual intervention is required.
Thanks,
Muiz Ahmed

Delete overlapping request in PC - Request from previous month got deleted

Hi Everyone,
We are using a 'Delete overlapping request' step in a process chain. Under the Deletion Selections, we have checked the following options:
1) Only Delete Requests from Same DTP
   |_ Selections are - Overlapping
2) Request Date - Is in the Current Month
3) Exceptions:
   |_ New Request will be loaded on - 1st Day of a Month
The datasource in this case is used for a Full update into a Cube everyday. We've used the above selections so that the request loaded on the last day of a month is not deleted by the subsequent load. We need this to retain a snapshot of the data for each month.
This month, when the process chain executed on 1st Feb, the request loaded on 31st Jan was not deleted. However, on 4th Feb, the Process chain deleted the request loaded on 3rd Feb and also the one from 31st Jan. There seems to be no reason at all for the 31st Jan request to get deleted. We've made sure of that by choosing the option 'Request Date - Is in the Current Month' in the Deletion Selections.
Is there any explanation why the request was deleted?
Thanks,
Ram

Hi,
    If you dont have any selections , it will delete the previous request. Based on the selections only overlap will work. For your scenario , it wont delete previous month request after changing it to current Fiscal period. Once check the selection options , is it displaying month wise or empty selections.

Please help me to solve this error.

Soon after the 2 DTP steps, delete overlapping request step is defined from both the ends.in chain...in whcih variant is
object type: the same DTP and its name which loads from PSA to cube.
radio button selected as: edit all infocubes with following delete selections.
selections: delete existing request under which Only delete request from the same DTP.

Overlapping requests using DTP

Hello BIGurus,
I want to delete overlapping requests in the following scenarios using DTP
1.In Master data Attribute
2.DSO
3.Info-cube.
I am not able to find Deletion of overlapping requests option in the DTP.
Can you please help me to find out option in DTP to delete overlapping request?

Hi
Overlapping request will always delete data based on the same selection condition.
In your case as the import dates are different for both the requests, it will not delete the previous request.
You can try selective deletion option if feasible.
or
Overlapping will happen only for cubes. Not to DSO (because already we have overwrite option for DSO) so no need to maintain the setting for DSO and also it wonu2019t accept to give the settings.
We can have the settings to u201Cdelete overlapping request from basic cubeu201D only.
We can give these settings in 2 ways
1. In IP level
Go to IP maintenance screen > go to target tab > click on u201Cautomatic loading of similar/identical request from the info cubeu201D and set the setting as per you convenience
2. if we want to give the setting in Process chain >
Select the process type u201Cdelete requestu201D and mention the IPs in the maintain variant screen
Click on the u201CDeletion selection u201D tab and set the setting as per you convenience

How does Delete overlapping requests work?

We have a extract which does a full loads into a cube for the current year and a we run this daily. In the process chain we do a delete overlapping requests which I understand will delete the previous requests with the same condition. What happens when the year changes? On Dec 31 we will load 2008 data while the next time it runs on Jan 2 it will load only 2009 data (variant only looks at current year). Will deletion of overlaps delete all the 2008 data it loaded on Dec 31? Thanks.

what is removed depends on the settings of your delete request.
You can use only dtp-name, or dtp name with same selection parameters or with same selection parameter in a certain amount of time.
Take a look at the settings; i found them quite self explanatory.

Problems with delete overlapping requests from InfoCube in PC

Hi guys,
Iu2019m using delete overlapping requests from InfoCube in Process Chains, but Iu2019m not being able to adjust it to my specific requirement.
For example:
I execute DTP to load InfoCube XPTO with Fiscal Year 2008 and 2009. After this I have to load again, but only for 2009.
In this specific example I want my process chain to delete the 2009 data from my first load, because it is overlapped, and leave 2008 data.
Is this possible? If yes how?
Thanks in advance
Jão Arvanas

It will not work that way.
It will look if the selections are same then it wil delete if not then it will not do that activity.
Overlapping settings which you might chosen is based on the delete overlapping for the same selections..
So in this case the selections are different and hence its not possible.
Thanks

Delete overlapping requests from cube not working in processchain.

In a process chain, 'deletion of overlapping requests from the cube ' step is used.
Before this step a DTP step runs with a full update to load the cube. This process chain is scheduled every day.
Issue is, the process chain failed at the DTP step and after correcting and repeating, the step got executed.
However, the next step after the DTP,'delete overlapping requests from the cube'
gets executed but without deleting the previous day's request.
In the step details a message that 'No request for deletion were found' can be seen.
Then next day when the DTPstep is executed without any problem the 'delete overlapping requests from cube' step is successful
and the previous requests from cube are deleted.
the deletion selections in the step ' delete overlapping request from infocube' is
Delete existing requests
Conditions:
only delete requests from same DTP
Selections
Same or more comprehensive
Because of this issue on a particular day because of the presence of 2 days requests the data is getting aggregated and shown as double in the reports.
Please help.

Hi Archana,
When you delete the bad request from target and before repeating your DTP in PC, make sure the bad request deleted from table RSBKREQUEST also.
If you find the same request in table, first delete the request from table and repeat the DTP in PC.
Now Delete overlapping step should work.
As this is not the permanent solution, please raise an OSS for SAP

Venkatesh
