Delete Request in InfoCube

I would like to delete all the Request in the InfoCube and do the re-load from ECC6.
I right-click InfoCube ->Delete Content, then it will prompt me the following:
Do you want to delete the contents of this InfoCube?
I click Yes, then it prompt me the following:
Do you want to keep the data in the dimension
tables?
I click No
Is it correct to choose No?
What is the different between this Delete Contents if I delete all the Request manually in InfoCube ->Manage ->Request tab?
What happen if the Request has been compressed and also roll-up to Aggregate?
Which option should I use - 1) right-click InfoCube ->Delete Data or 2) Delete the Request one by one via InfoCube ->Manage ->Request tab?

Hello Lynn,
Deleting the Dimensions or keeping then depends on if the data you load again will be similar to what you deleted. Since
the data loaded are normally very equal to the data you loaded before it makes sense to keep the Dimension tables
and than most SIDs/DIMIDs in the Dimensions are existing and the loading is faster.
If you want to 'cleen up the cube complety though (maybe you completey redesign it) then its better to delete the
Dimensions. If you keep dimemsions you also need to check that there ratio to the size of the fact table do not
get too large, you can check this by executing the Transaction RSRV >Transaction Data > Multiple Entries
in Dimensions of a (Basis) InfoCube and Entries Not Used in theDimension of an InfoCube.
If you manually delete the entries from the fact table the difference is that the data will not be deleted from
the E fact table (this is where the compressed data is stored).
If you want to delete all data from the cube then the best option to use is to right click on the cube and select the
option "delete data".

Hi,
While deleting one of the erroneous requests from some infocubes,

This is happening only with respect to some infocubes.
Description of short dump:
Short text of error message:
System error in program RSMDATASTATE and form RSM_DATASTATE_CHECK-5- (see long text)
Can any one of you please help with this?

Nilima Rodrigues

Hi NILIMA,
I got same problem with my InfoPackage last month with same error msg.
that error come due to data inconstancy in data base table.
in my case i am unable to open my InfoPackage and after double clicking it was giving dump with same error.
If u know abap then just change the sy-subrc value from 4 to 0 before dump line code it will resolve your problem.
for this on dump screen click on debugger button then it opens your code and shows line on which u getting dump with table name check your entry in table ok
if u unable u find table then do one thing just put break point before dump line and open fresh rsa1 and go to same cube and double click it will stop on your debugger point just press f5 button it shos sy-subrc 4 convert it to 0 and press edit button and press f8 .

Delete requests in a infocube with infopackage

Hi BW Gurus.
I have to delete a request in a infocube during the loading and I would like to use the option "deleting request from infocube after update" inside the infopackage.
The option "Selections are ...same or more comprehensive" is not what I need because I would like to delete only when the selections in the infopackege are equal and not when they are more comprehensive.
For example, if I load from month 01 to month 03, I want to delete only the prevous request with the same selection and not the request that have from month =01 to month=02 selection.
The infopackage selections are read from a custom table.
Thanks for any help.
S.

Hi. Thank for the reply.
I can't use this option.
Look at the example:
I have a request with "from month 01 to month 02" selection and I would like to load a request with "from month 01 to month 03" selection.
The option "'deleting requests with same or more comprehensive" deletes the request because month 01 to month 03 is more comprehensive than from 01 to 02 month.
The option 'deleting requests with overlapping selections' deletes the request because because month 01 to month 03 overlapp from 01 to 02 month selection.
It could be good to have a "delentig request with same selection" option and not with "more comprehensive" in the same option.

Request Deletion issue in Infocube

Dear Experts,
We have 2 different source systems feeding data to single infocube.
We are loading the full upload every month, so we need to delete previous request from the infocube.
Is it possible to restrict the authorization to delete request in Infocube based on sourcesystem ?
For eg, source system A admin, should be able to delete requests in infocube only from this source system only.
Is it possible?
Any advice or pointers will be highly appreciated.
Regards,
Ravindra

Hi:
You can do it by tools given by SAP. When you go to infopackage that loads the data, there is a Checkbox for Delete Data Target. Select this. Next to it, there is a small check box. Click on it and it will give you more selection options for Delete. Select the Source System is the same and this will solve your problem.

Delet request from cube

Hi,
I need your help,
i want to delete a request from a cube with the process "delete request in Infocube". But my problem is I want the deletion sections Is yesterday or today, only delete request from same DTP, New request will be loaded on (2 day of a month) BUT I dont want the selection restriction, because every day I want the last view (sy-datum - 1). I only want to save the last day of the month.

Hi,
Check the process "Delete overlapping requests from infocube".
Select radio button "Edit All infocubes with following delete selections" & press button Delete Selections > Delete existing requests>conditions : data sources are the same --> selections are : same or more comprehensive -->Request date is in the current month --> Exceptions : new request will be loaded on 1st day of the month (if it's running everyday including weekends)

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.
