Hello Friends,

Now i have to use same fuctionality manually without using process chain. How can i do this..?
Thanks

Hi,
you can set up the overlapping request deletion in the data target tab of your infopackage for loading your infocube.

Delete overlapping requests from infocube

Hi ALL,
I have loads to infocube from 5 diffrent infopackages loading adhocly or randomly from same source sytem and same infosource.
Note:infopackages have dynamic selections.(ex calweek,product)
My requirement: If i load infopackage-1 today,and when i load the same infopackage next time the prevoius load should be deleted .
I need the same functionality for other 4 infopackages.
So at given point of time i should have only 5 requests in the infocube.
These are the settings i have done.
1)At infopackage level i have selected option Delete existing requests : overlapping
   Without selecting any conditions like infosources,source sytem are same.
2)Added process type in the process chain delete overlapping requests from infocube
   selected option: Delete existing requests : overlapping.
   Without selecting any conditions like infosources,source sytem are same.
Are these settings are enough or is there in best way to do this .
Please suggest me ...

Kishore,
Delete overlapping requests means, delete request with same selection only. If data selection not same, i dont think it will delete any previous request.
You can select infosource, source system. No issues. System only deletes request if data coming from same infosource or from same source system for same selection.
But in your case selection changing every day or for every load. I dont think it works.... Try once in DEV.
If i understand correctly, as you only needed latest 5 requests only, why cant you delete data completely before loading / starting new set of requests...?? This is easy, quicker and better approach.
But only problem is data will not be available during loading of new set of requests.

Duplicate records: Process : Delete Overlapping Requests from InfoCube

Hi Experts,
We are loading data in standard costing cube with standard available option Full upload. In our process chain we have included process type "Delete Overlapping Requests from InfoCube". In our scenario we always load yesterday and today's data. In this case after loading yesterday's data, we need to check and delete the overlapping requests and then upload todays data.
Many a times this deletion process is failing due to message "Couldn't lock cube" because it is already locked by user "ALEREMOTE". This cause system to duplicate the records in cube.
How we can avoid this?
Alok

I tried running again and it again failed. Checked in SM12 and found this entry
800 ALEREMOTE 08/14/2007 E RSENQ_PROT_ENQ CREA_INDX ZCCA_C11 DATATARGET CREA_INDX ###################################### 0 1
This locked is not released since 14th. Is there way to remove the lock using some process.

Thanks in advance,

Hi
'Delete overlapping request' is an option(its a process type) in the process chains..
RSPC>Process types>Load Process and post process folder--->Delete overlapping request from the infocube..
here you can have more options like 'source systems are same',and infosources are same etc...

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 InfoCube" in a Process Chain

Dear all,
I encountered a problem when I building the process chain in BW 3.0.
In a process chain, I schedule daily an InfoPackage to load data to an InfoCube and then delete the previously loaded data by the same InfoPacckage from the InfoCube.
For example, I have 2 InfoPacakge, A and B, and schedule to load data to InfoCube C. In the process chain, I scheduled daily the following tasks in sequence:
- Delete index in InfoCube C
- Load data through InfoPackage A to InfoCube C
- Delete duplicated request previously loaded through InfoPackage A in InfoCube C
- Load data through InfoPackage B to InfoCube C
- Delete duplicated request previously loaded through InfoPackage B in InfoCube C
- Create index in InfoCube C
However, when I activate the process chain, a warning message is prompted: No type "Delete Overlapping Requests from InfoCube" process allowed infront of process "Execute InfoPackage" variable ZPAK_4GMFI
Would anyone tell me why such warning message is prompted?
Many thanks!
Best regards,
Marcus

Hi all,
Re Ranjan:
I previously config the process chain like that:
(1)   Delete index in InfoCube C
(2)   Load data through InfoPackage A to InfoCube C
(3a) Delete duplicated request previously loaded through InfoPackage A in InfoCube C
(3b) Load data through InfoPackage B to InfoCube C
(4)   Delete duplicated request previously loaded through InfoPackage B in InfoCube C
(5)   Create index in InfoCube C
where (3a) and (3b) is executed simultaneously.
However, (3b) often reports error. I guess it may be due to the parallel run of (3a) and (3b). So that's why I set the process chain to be executed in serial.
Re Jacob:
I found that the process chain can be run even a warning message is prompted when activating the process chain!.
Thanks you all for your kind support!!
Best regards,
Marcus

Delete Overlapping Requests from InfoCube: Before or After the Generate Ind

Hi,
Delete Overlapping Requests from InfoCube Before or After the Generate Index of the Infocube? Why?
I think "After", but the system (transaction RSPC)suggest 1.Generate Index 2.Overlapping Requests from InfoCube ...
Thanks
Alessandro

Hi Alessandro,
Bottom Line Index will speed up the Process. While loading the Data you need to delete the Index.
Index will degrade the performence while updating or modifying DB Entries(Loading). Index will improve the performence while reading the DB(Reporting).
It's not with BW. all RDBMS need this.

Unable to Delete failed requests from Infocube

Dear Experts,
I tried to uploaded the data through flat file. Since it has gone to Idle state i Killed the process. Now i Need to delete the red request from Infocube but It is not allowing me to delete the failed request. If I do so, I am getting ABAP runtime error.
Please Suggest me . Its bit Urgent
Many Thanks,
Suraj

Hi Suraj,
There is might be a deadlock detected in the system
So go the reqeust
click on the details tab
Each Package which is yellow or red has to be updated manually (right click Manual Update). This can take few minutes.
Change request status to green
Change to Status doppleclick on total status
Change from red to Delete status;back to request status
Note:
This case is only applicable, if the data are stored in PSA.

How to delete an request on infocube and on aggregates?

hi all,
how to delte an request after it is rolled up in aggregate.
I want to delete an request infocube and it should be reflected in aggregates.
Can anyone explain me a scenario how to delete request in cube that shd be reflected in aggregates.
regds
hari

Hi hari,
When you delete the request the system automatically adjusts the aggregates. It is only when you load that you need to "roll-up" the aggregates after the load.

DELAY IN DELETING A REQUEST IN INFOCUBE

WHEN I SCHEDULE A JOB FOR DELETING AN INITIALIZATION REQUEST FOR AN INFOCUBE THE JOB IS DELAYED,INFACT NOT AT ALL EXECUTED WHEN I REFRESH IN THE MAINTENANCE SCREEN OF INFOCUBE I GET A MESSAGE STATING.
Performing check and potential update for status control table
Message no. RSM1490
Diagnosis
If data is loaded into an InfoCube, or existing data is edited (aggregated/compressed/deleted/
got from a DataMart), then there is a change in the potential reportability of the data ,
or the possibility of deleting data by request, or of aggregating or compressing.
This status of each one of these Cubes is stored in a status table, that is updated whenthere is any change to the status of a request in the Cube.
The system now analyzes the requests in the Cube and compares the calculated status with
the status table.
If deviations from the status table arise then you are given the option of adjusting the
status table.
CAN U HELP ME TO FIND THE STATUS TABLE AND ADJUST THE DEVIATION.
REGARDS,
SANJAY

Hi Sanjay,
Delay may be related to the cube content reconstruction.

Unable to automate deletion of old data (requests) from InfoCube using a PC

Each week I copy open Notifications into a 'SnapShot' cube, from the Transaction Cube, using the current date to make it a unique copy/snapshot for that week. This is then reported on showing, amongst other things, the trend of open Notifications throughout the year.
In an effort to ensure this doesn't grow too big, I will only keep a rolling 52 weeks of data. I thought I could use a feature available when creating Process Chains called 'Delete Overlapping Requests from InfoCube' to manage the amount of data held (52 weeks only).
The variant used to delete the requests has been created linked to object type 'Data Transfer Process' (DTP) and the actual DTP used to load the 'SnapShot' cube ... I then click the 'delete selections' button. On the next window I select 'Request Selection Through Routine', then click 'Change Routine'. I entered the following code, which I borrowed from another thread:
data: datum(16) type c,
date type sy-datum.
date = sy-datum.
date = date - 365.
break-point.
concatenate date sy-uzeit into datum.
loop at l_t_request_to_delete.
delete l_t_request_to_delete where timestamp gt datum.
endloop.
append l_t_request_to_delete.
p_subrc = 0.
I get a message saying "No Requests for deletion were found'. Any ideas?

HI Tony,
Please check whether the timestamp value you are popolating i filed datum with the following statement:
concatenate date sy-uzeit into datum.
has same data format and type as the timestamp for the request.
If this is not same then you will not be able to find any request corresponding to timestamp.

Process Type - Delete overlapping requests from an Info Cube

I have read many threads on this topic, still have some questions. To give you background, I will be doing delta load (delta process chain). But before delta, I want to do setup initialization (init process chain). I want to use this process type in my init process chain to delete all data in my cube loaded from a specific ods. I cannot use delete all contents process type because many odss feed the same cube.
1.     Do you put this process type after Load Data or before Load Data. I have seen both cases in SDN forums.
2.     Variant of this process type is an info package. Does this info package have to be same as in load data step or it can be different.
3.     I want to delete all data in cube which was loaded from my ods. Term overlapping is confusing to me. Will this process type delete all data or not.
Tanks in advance.

Yes, you can do that. Goto RSPC - under process types Load Process and Post Processing, you will see DELETE OVERLAP REQUESTS FROM INFOCUBE option is there.
Select the proper check boxes like same sourcesystem, same datasource etc...
If it is one time deletion, why not do that manually?
Also check: How to delete most recent request in a Cube by using process chain
Hope it helps..

Deletion of data target contents Vs delete overlapping requests

hi,
when do we go for <b>delete overlapping requests</b>? if it is applicable for full load as well as delta load then i would like to first come up with the full load concept, we have the other option called <b>delete data target contents</b> with this we can delete daily full load without going for delete overlapping requests.
Pls let me know exact difference between DELETE OVERLAPPING REQUESTS FROM INFOCUBE with DELETE DATA TARGET CONTENTS.

hi
When you have delta upload twice daily..the date in the previous request and the second request is same....so you might be giving this option to delete the overlap such that data is not loaded twice
Assign points dont forget

Delta DTP and Delete Overlapping Requests

Hi,
Please check the article:

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
