Delete psa variant in process chain

Hi all,
I am trying to create deletion of request from PSA and when I go to create the variant and new screen comes up where I have to specify a object type and then object name. also at the bottom there are 4 options older than __ days page before __date
only successfully booked/updated request
only those request with errors, that are not booked in data target.
Can someone tell how to deal with all these fields, in that  object field and name do we have to specify an infooject? or can we just say anything older that 20 days and create a generic variant to use for all the process?
Please help
Thanks,

Well, I can try to explain in short:
No real best practice for number of process chains, but the way they are structured in our system is by applications: COPA, SD, Purchasing, CRM applications, Inventory, and some other custom applications. These are the process chains (can be several in each area) that take care of the transactional data load...and also other data load processes: compression, roll up, activate ODS data etc.
Master data load chains are divided as Daily, Weekly and Monthly. Of course several master data loads are also included in the transactional chains if we are doing a look up in the update rules, or may be some master data comes from the transactional datasource.
Other than that there is the PSA delete chain that was discussed above.
Hope this helps...

  • Deleting PSA data  using process chain doesn't delete records from psatable

    Dear All,
    We have an issue where by the process chain runs and deletes the PSA records and upon checking that's what we thought it had done from the monitor but it didn't actually delete the records from the PSA Tables!
    Does anyone have any clues about this ?
    Thanks
    Craig

    Chetan,
    Yes you read correctly the actual table content for the PSA records are not physically removed.
    By monitor I meant the entry in the requests for PSA.
    It's a strange one for sure.
    Cheers

  • Unable to delete PSA data through process chain.

    Hi Everyone,
    I have got a problem in PSA deletion. We have got few PSA and change log deletion jobs which run at daily or fortnight basis. We planned to add few PSA tables to each daily and fortnight jobs depending on requirement.
    We added in development and could see jobs deleting PSAs properly. Now on transporting to testing, we could see that PSA tables are not being deleted and there is no change in data. We have checked the PSA table names properly, in table RSTSODS and confirmed PSA is given properly only.
    Anyone faced this problem or have idea about this issue, please let us know and suggest us.
    Thanks and regards,
    Shashidhar.

    Hi Shashidhar
    Just check for the PSA requests as below:
    Go to PSA in RSA1/ RSA1OLD -
    > Select the PSA -
    > Settings -> Display selection for PSA tree -> give start date and end date or any other selecetions as per your requirement-> it will show you all the details.
    Hope this helps.

  • How to automate selective deletion of ods in process chain

    Hi,
    How can we automate selective deletion of ods in Process chain. I tried with the proceedure. Using T-code "delete_fact" I gave selection parameters and Name of the program and saved this as variant and gave the same program and variant in Process cahin. But it is not deleting data. So plz guide me whether I have missed anything in this proceedure.

    Hi purushottam,
                           you have to give to program variants in the process chain for data deletion to take place. in the first program variant include the rsdrd_delete_facts as program name and in the program variant give a variant for your infoprovider selection.
    Now again select another program variant and include the name of the program which you get after selecting the infoprovider name and  the generate selection program  option in the "program for deleting selected entries from the data target" screen " and press execute.
    again give another variant for your field selection.
    now try execute the process chain.

  • Error in execute planning sequence variant in process chain

    Hi ,
    While creating an Execute planning sequence variant in process chain in Quality system , i am getting an error" variable variant not selected ' though i created a variable variant and selected it in execute planning seq variant.
    Transporting it from development system didnt work therefore i am trying to create it directly in Quality .
    Any idea what could be the issue.

    Hi,
    Variable variant can be saved for planning sequence in modeler and then cab be used in process chains.
    In process chain you can choose "Execute planning sequence"( separate process type) and add planning sequence with variant.

  • PSA Deletion variant in Process chain

    When I add more than one PSA tables in one process step of Process chain would the deletion happen sequentially or parallelly?
    In other words, if I have some 20 PSA tables to be deleted, can I put all of them in one step or should I put them in different steps - some 4 or 5 steps - to reduce load on system? (I need to keep only 2 days data in each table).

    Hi,
    it will happen sequentially. You can put them in one process step.
    However, I recommend to include the PSA deletion systematically in each corresponding chain since you can control it and monitor it better.
    hope this helps...
    Olivier.

  • How to create process variant for delete index in a process chain

    Respected all
    I am creating a process chain, but unable to create process variant for the delete index. kindly tell me the
    step by step proceure for creating the variant for delete index. also if we use variant which is previously prepared then will it be safe? will it affect the other running process chian.
    pls reply
    thanks
    abhay

    Hi,
    Please do not use an already created variant for index deletion. It might delete indices of some other cube.
    You can follow the following steps -
    1. Open the chain in Edit mode and click on "Process Types" button
    2. On the Left hand side you will have various process types. Choose "Data Target Administration" and expand it.
    3. Choose the first process "Delete Index" (it will be marked with a trash bin sign) and drag it to your chain
    4. It will ask you create a variant. Press the create Button
    5. In new window enter the Process Variant technical name and description
    6. Then in new window choose Object Type = Cube through dropdown and Object name via browsing. After choosing the cube name click on "Transfer Selections"
    7. Save and return to your chain
    8. It will automatically generate a create index step also after delete index.
    9. You need to break the link between create and delete step and insert infopackage in between to get the following steps - delete index --> load cube --> create index.
    Please let me know if this is helpful..

  • "Delete PSA" variant  not transported

    I have a process chain which involves a 'Delete PSA request' process. When this is transported into our Test environment the variants do not appear so the deletion does not happen. The process still exists but the variant defining which PSA to delete is blank and so no deletion occurs.
    Does anyone know what the problem could be and how we can resolve it?

    Hi, the table names are different in Dev and QA (/BIC/B0000628 in QA and /BIC/B0000302 in Dev). So if we reactivate the datasource in Dev, then re-transport the datasources and then retransport the process chains should this resolve the issue? Would the psa tables be re-created with the correct table names in QA if we do this?
    Nothing in QA has been activated manually after transport so not sure how that would happen.
    We are using NW 2004s, SP 8 at the moment.
    Thanks for you help

  • Problem delete chang log from process chain BW 7.01

    We have upgrade BW from 3.5 version to 7.01 version two month ago.
    Now I realized that the process chain running one a week to delete PSA and change log don't work well after upgrade.
    The process chain end without errors (status is green), but the change log are not deleted.
    In the test system I try to delete the Change Log in 2 mode:
    1-with the variant "Deletion of Requests from the Change Log " and the datastoreobject = myods and all the option (correct request, incorrect request and "Delete Activation Requests Only"). In the log i see this messagge

    The following change logs were selected:

    I see that this topic is still active/unanswered...
    We're having the same problem, but not just changelogs, also for PSAs. We have a weekly process chain that does housekeeping on our BW system, cleaning up PSAs and changelogs, compressing cubes, realigning time-dep masterdata and renewing indexes.
    The PSA chain runs fine and about 90% of all PSAs get deleted, but there are some datasources (all of them are of type 8* datamart datasources) that don't get their PSAs deleted. It says "The following PSAs were selected:" and then nothing happens...
    I tried all tickbox combinations and checked that there are no PSA entries blocked by invalid partitions. Manual deletion (via "manage" in the datasource) works fine, but is tedious and time consuming.
    Also, most of the 8* datasource PSAs do get deleted. Just a handful (+/- 25) get skipped somehow.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks,
    Eduard
    PS: We're still running 3.5-style backend dataflow, but will eventually get converted to transformations and DTPs. But that's not on our agenda (yet).

  • Error in PSA after running process chain

    Hello All,
    I have ran a process chain, which came back with an error.  I have checked the PSA and there is one line which has an error.  How can I resolve it and reload the data into the cube succesfully?  Is there away to delete the data from the PSA and reload it? 
    Thanks,
    Nick.

    Dear Nick,
    I will add the step by step procedure to edit PSA data and update into target (request based).
    Identifying incorrect records.
    System wont show all the incorrect records at the first time itself. You need to search the PSA table manually to find all the incorrect records.
    1. First see RSMO > Details > Expand upate rules / processing tabs and you will find some of the error records.
    2. Then you can go to PSA and filter using the status of records. Filter all the red requests. This may also wont show the entire incorrect records.
    3. Then you can go to PSA and filter using the incorrect records based on the particular field.
    4. If this also doesnt work out go to PSA and sort (not filter) the records based on the particular field with incorrect values and it will show all the records. Note down the record numbers and then edit them one by one.
    If you want to confirm find the PSA table and search manually."
    Also Run the report RS_ERRORLOG_EXAMPLE,By this report you can display all incorrected records of the data & you can also find whether the error occured in PSA or in TRANSFER RULES.
    Steps to resolve this
    1. Force the request to red in RSMO > Status tab.
    2. Delete the request from target.
    3. Come to RSMO > top right you can see PSA maintenace button > click and go to PSA .
    4.Edit the record
    5. Save PSA data.
    6. Got to RSA15 > Search by request name > Right click > update the request from PSA to target.
