Delete request in Process chain in BI 70

Hi Experts,
I have a load request for the past 12 months in a cube. Since the data can be changed retroactively in the source during 12 months, I have to delete the previous request and load a new one every month. We used to do that in 3.1 by using Process type "Delete Overlapping request" in combination with the InfoPackage, but it does not work in 2004s.
What are the right parameters that we should use in the DTP, the InfoPackage and Process Type?
Currently, DTP is Delta, InfoPackage is Full, Process Type is "Delete Overlapping Request" (InfoSource and dataSource are the same. But the previous request does not get deleted.
Thanks,
JL

Hello Jean-Luc,
As it looks for me the problem ist that "Delete Overlapping Request" is working only with Full DTPs but not with Deltas in 7.0.
(check note 1147766 herefore).
According to note 1336410 it is possible again. But then you need to set flag 'Only Get Delta Once' in your Delta DTP.
If you need this see if you are able to implement note 1336410.
Hope this helps you.
Kind regards
Klaus Weippert

  • Delete Request in Process Chain - still need to delete indexes?

    I have a cube here that is a full load every day.  In the process chain I delete the 1 request (because there's only one request in the cube at any time) and then I reload using a full load.
    My question is that with a normal load into a cube I delete indexes and then load and then recreate indexes.  Now with my cube since I am deleting the contents of the cube do I need to add the delete indexes process in the chain? 
    Do the indexes get deleted when the data is deleted?

    Hello,
    Yes, when you delete the content of the InfoCube the Index associated with also gets deleted. So in the process chain Delete Content -> Load Data -> Create Index will be enough.

  • Delete PSA Through Process Chain

    Hi,
    I am working in NW04s. I have few questions related to the subject line. Few are for knowledge enhancement and other are task oriented.
    Background:  InfoPackages are created to load data (master and transaction, both full & delta) for InfoObjects and DOS/Cubes. All the 4 options (PSA and then InfoObject, PSA and infoobject in parallel, only InfoObject and only PSA) are used in production.
    Questions:
    Q1 (general): Why should we have a process in Process Chain after data load to delete PSA, if we are using PSA and then InfoObject?
    Q2 (specific questions): How to include the PSA name in "Delete PSA Request" of a Process Chain when infoPacakge processing is only PSA.
    Q3 (specific question): When Data target is not defined in InfoPacakge (but only Data Source and Source System is defiled, and process is "PSA and then InfoObject', then in such case which infoprovider is to be put into "Delete PSA Request" in process chain.
    Thank you for reading my questions, and helping me.
    Sincerely,
    S

    Q1 (general): Why should we have a process in Process Chain after data load to delete PSA, if we are using PSA and then InfoObject?
    Requests in PSA are deleted periodically so as to prevent getting the PSA table bigger and bigger occupying more DB space.
    Q2 (specific questions): How to include the PSA name in "Delete PSA Request" of a Process Chain when infoPacakge processing is only PSA.
    You can specify the PSA table name, it need not load further targets as it is deleting requests from PSA itself . Loading PSA is good enough for the Delete Request in PSA process type to work.
    Q3 (specific question): When Data target is not defined in InfoPacakge (but only Data Source and Source System is defiled, and process is "PSA and then InfoObject', then in such case which infoprovider is to be put into "Delete PSA Request" in process chain.
    You can specify the PSA table name, why do you want to Infoprovider name I guess you cannot even do that for this process type.

  • Delete Initialization using Process Chain

    Hi Experts,
    How to delete initialization using process chain? Additional question, why does our DTP couldn't get any data from PSA? We just transfer our DTP to other process chain and left its associated infopackage from the original process chain but when we check our extraction, our DTP always gets zero (0) records. What do we need to put in our DTP settings? and infopackage and DTP should always be in the same process chain??
    Thanks,
    nips

    Hi UserPV,
    Thanks for your inputs!
    Anyway, our InfoPackage in the other Process chain executed succesfully and has an extracted data. Now, our DTP can't get any data from the PSA where the extracted data of InfoPackage resides first. Is there any other way around to separate DTP and its associated infopackage in different process chains? Or those objects should be in the same process chain?
    Another questions, how can we delete an initialization using a process chain? and is there a function module that can we use to remove the initialization request so that we could re-initialize a process?
    Thanks,
    nips

  • Delete Selection using Process Chain

    Hello all,
    Does any one know how to create a selected deletion using a Process Chain for DSO and Cube objects?
    Thanks
    Paulo

    Hi,
    You can use transaction delete_facts to generate program for selective deletion and use the program in your PC to automate it.
    You can also try program RSDRD_DELETE_FACTS as well for cubes.
    check the below links

  • Delete PSA Using Process Chain

    I need to schedule some PSA deletes using a process chain and wanted to make sure I'm doing the right thing.
    I have MD 0WBS_ELEMT_ATTR and in RSA1 if I click on "manage" I can see my PSA's that were loaded. Yeah, there were 2 different loads.
    If I go to RSPC and create a variant to delete this PSA after its 45 days old I look up the PSA and I see the following:
    /BIC/B0000782                             Work Breakdown Structure Element (WBS Element)
    0WBS_ELEMT_ATTR_DA             Work Breakdown Structure Element (WBS Element)
    Using se16 looking up this table: /BIC/B0000782000 it looks like it doesn't have any records so my question would be:
    Is /BIC/B0000782 the PSA?
    What is 0WBS_ELEMT_ATTR_DA?
    Thanks,
    Mike

    OK here are my answers:
    1) You seem to be disagreeing. One says use the /BIC/B0000782 the other says use 0WBS_ELEMT_ATTR_DA in the Process Chain.
    I used /BIC/B0000782 in the process chain.
    2) When I look up 0WBS_ELEMT in table RSTSODS using the ODSNAME I see:
    ODSNAME VERSION DATETO DATEFROM OBJSTAT ODSNAME_TECH
    0WBS_ELEMT_ATTR_DA 000 9999/01/01 1998/01/01 ACT /BIC/B0000900000
    0WBS_ELEMT_TEXT_DB 000 9999/01/01 1998/01/01 ACT /BIC/B0000541000
    these are the internal tables for the transfer rules I guess
    3) /BIC/B0000900000 is the internal table for 0WBS_ELEMT_ATTR_DA correct?
    yes
    4) /BIC/B0000782 which I saw when I was looking up the PSA entry for 0WBS_ELEMT_ATTR is the internal table for the PSA?
    yes
    5) Still confusing is that neither /BIC/B0000782000 or /BIC/B0000900000 has any records.
    /BIC/B0000782000 must be the default table for the PSA, and /BIC/B0000782001 did have the same number of records I saw on RSA1 (Manage), and /BIC/B0000900000 is the internal table for the rules
    so we are all good!

  • Delete Overlapping Request in Process Chain

    Hi,
    I’m working on Process chain to upload data from four source cubes to one target cube. Process chain has been configured as after the <b>Data Transfer Process’s</b> successful execution, system looks for overlapping data requests and deletes them. Chain seems doing the required functionality but the only thing going wrong is when it comes to deletion of overlapping requests, it randomly delete few and leave others. The status of undeleted ones switched to <b>erroneous</b> and this prevents newly generated data requests available for reporting.
    Regards,
    Shabbar

    Hi,
    Thanks for your replies. For deletion I’m using <b>Same or More Comprehensive</b> option because I just want to delete the corresponding request with the same selection.
    There are four requests need to be created with every run and it should delete the corresponding four. But I don’t know what’s going wrong, why and how it picks up a few out of four for deletion and left the rest with erroneous status.
    Hope this would make the problem statement clear, if you require any further information, please let me know.
    Regards,
    Shabbar

  • Unable to delete the request through process chain

    Hi,
    We included program in a info package to delete the request based on snapshot date. its working fine when we ran info package manually but its not working when the infopackage is included in the process chain.
    Kindly update us how to work on this.
    Thanks & regards
    Bharathi

    Hi Bharathi,
    There are two options in delete request process of chain:
    one is to use deletion seletion from Infocube .....infopackage settings
    and second one is to set new in chain....
    you should try first option...
    Thanks

  • Delete dso data requests in process chain

    Hi Guys,
    I have a DSO which loads data for 1 year in FULL load for every 2 hours. The requests in DSO are increasing and data transferred is almost same. Is there any way to delete the overlapping request from same DTP to DSO?
    I know there is option of  'Delete Overlapping Requests from InfoCube' for Infocube. I tried to use it the same for DSO but could not find my DTP for the DSO.
    So is there any other process type exists for DSO? I know we can write a code as well but I am not an ABAP'er.
    Plz suggest <removed by moderator>.
    Thanks.

    Hi Siggi,
    Thanks for replying.
    What are these options in the Tcode delete_facts:
    1. Generate selection program
    2. Generate deletion program
    There is no documentation available. When I click Generate deletion program option and execute- A selection screen opens, I selected nothing and executed, got an alpha numeric report name on the tcode screen, How can I insert this report in process chain? is there any process type for this?
    I do not understand why SAP has not provided standard process type like available for Infocube.
    Appreciate your help. Thanks!

  • Incorrect data after activating the request through Process chain.

    Dear SDN chaps.
    Today morning. I encountered a strange issue in DSO..
    I have DSO which is updating from the AL11(application server) flat file.
    While i am loading it to PSA there were no issues and after loading it to the DSO there is no issue and its passing through the routine and the data is populating properly in NEW data Table .But after successful activation of  the request through process i am getting the wrong records in active data table.
    Then i deleted the request and reran it manually i mean triggered the DTP and ran the manual activation surprisingly accurate records are coming through manual process..
    I am just wondering why it is not working through process chain and why it is showing incorrect records through process chain execution and how it is showing accurate records through manual uploading process..'
    Could some one please help to come out from this..By the way mine is SAP BI 7 SP20 &SP05 for BW 7.01
    Thanks

    Hi Pra
    Thanks for your response..
    We are doing PSA deletion and then we are uploading the data to PSA as well as DSO.
    Now the issue is not in the part of loading we are facing the issue in Actiation of request if i am executing the activation through process chain it is sucess but the values are incorrect. If i am doing the manual activation it sucess with correct data.
    Even i tried with a new chain but still i am facing the issue.
    Surprise thing is in new data table the data is perfect in both the ways like manual upate and Process chain update only during activation i am getting incorrect record in the active data table..
    Appreciate your help on this....
    Thanks

  • How to do a infocube selective deletion in a process chain ?

    Hi all,
    I encounter a little diffculty : I have a process chain that allow me to load daily R/3 datas into a BW/APO infocube, that works perfectly. The problem is that the volume of datas naturally keeps on growing, so I'd want to create a new step in the process chain, that would allow to make selective deletion in the cube.
    For example, after every data loading in the infocube, datas of the cube that are dating of more than x days  should be removed. I just can't find a process that allows me to do that, but only"complete deletion of data target contents", or "delete overlapping requests from infocube".
    I'm quite sure there's an easy way to do that but.... Anyone go an idea please ?
    Many thanks !
    Fabrice

    Hi Fabrice,
                          To my knowledge, there is no standard process type in process chian that can do this. You can include a program that can delete the old records. I am sure it is a simple login in it. You can do selective deletion in infocube manually but I wish we have a variant that can be created at this screen and refer in a process type. But at this time, I see only the program as solution.

  • Automatic evaluation of yellow requests in process chains

    Dear All,
    I am running my load processes using process chains. I would like to monitor my process chains automatically using a custom program. Thus, I would like to stop any long running loads and proceed to the next load in that chain.
    I am using the Function Module RSPC_PROCESS_FINISH to set the status of that particular request (or instance) to 'R' in the table RSPCPROCESSLOG. This then triggers the next step in that process chain but it does not terminate this particular loading... Therefore in the monitor for this loading, the traffic light would still be Yellow and I would like to change this Red.
    Could you please suggest some function module or any way in which i can automate this?
    The standard sap job SAP_CCMS_MONI_BATCH_DP (Note 708480) also suffices my requirement but there are some locking issue because of which other process chains and applications are affected.
    Awaiting your suggestions...
    Regards,
    Amit

    Hello Sunitha,
    I am not clear of your requirement.
    If you have to delete the Init load everytime then on the first place why do u want to do an Init.
    Do a Full load instead and delete it everyday in the Process Chain or in the InfoPackage mark the checkbox for the same.
    Using a Init u can Load the data once and can start the Delta load which will fetch the data from the day Init was done. This is done to avoid big loads everyday instead bring in the small data with only changed records.
    Hope this helps
    Regards

  • Delete Index in Process Chain Takes long time after SAP BI 7.0 SP 27

  • How to delete masterdata via process-chain

    Hi Specialists,
    I need to delete masterdata which is not used in any cube/osd on a daily base.
    But I cannot find a possibility to do that via the process-chain. There seems only to
    be the option to delete the content of cubes and ods-object, but not of info-objects.
    Could you please gimme some hint?!
    Best regards,

    Use function module RSDMD_DEL_MASTER_DATA  in a ABAP program.. then schedule it in process chain..

  • Delete Infocube via process chain V RSA1

    When deleting the contents of an Infocube through RSA1 you get a choice of deleting Dimensions or Dimensions and Facts.  When you are creating a process chain and you use the object Del;ete contents, what does it use as default Delete dims, or delete dims and facts?

    Hi Dominic,
    In the process chain, goto the deletion process step.
    Right mouse click and select Display Variant.
    Here you can see a check box and "Also Delete All Dimention Table Contents".
    Based on whether this check box is ticked or un-ticked, you can make out what it does.
    I hope this answers your question.
