Delete some hierarchies using process chain?

Hello,
I wonder if there is anyway to delete some hierarchies from InfoObjects using process chain.
For example:
- In the product InfoObject, there are 5 existing hierarchies which are HIER1, HIER2, HIER3, HIER4, HIER5.
- In the process chain, there is a schedule to load product hierarchy every week.
- The requirements is to delete HIER5 before loading HIER5 into the product InfoObject again and would like to add this process in the process chain as well.
The final solution that we think it might help is by writing in ABAP.I'm not sure if there any alternative way to serve this requirement without using ABAP program?
Any suggestion would be sincerely appreciate.

Closed without solution!

  • How to load hierarchies using process chains

    Hi ,
    Can any one please explain the steps for loading hierarchies using process chain.whenever i drag the hierarchy infopcakage Save variant is also coming by default,so do we need to have different SAve variant for different hierarchy infopackages or can we have one save variant for all the hierarchy variables.
    Thanks,
    Vaka

    Hello Veka,
    How r u ?
    Yes ! SAVE Variant & Attribute Change Run will add up while loading the Hierarchy InfoPackage.
    Provide the InfoObject Name for which u r loading the Hierarchy in the SAVE variant and SAVE it. The same will be transferred to the Attribute Change Run also.
    If u r creating the Chain with more InfoPackages then have the Save Variant & Attribute Change Run at the last.

  • How to delete Master data using Process Chain

    I need to delete data in respective data targets such as Infocubes, DSO’s & Master data Infoobjects. It was fine with Infocubes & DSOs  using respective process type. But the issue is with Master data Infoobjects.
    Is there any process type by using which I can delete data in Master data Infoobjects using process chain?

    Murali,
    Master data object process type is not there because in BW, master data is conformed or is shared by other infoproviders. Due to this dependency, master data loading is a bit more complex. You need to drop all the data from all the infproviders which are using the master data you want to delete.

  • 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

  • Selectively deleting load from ODS using Process Chain

    Hi All,
    I have a requirement in which I have to delete the last load of the current month if any and leave the load of the last month untouched which has to be done using process chain.
    I will try to elaborate the condition required like say we have a data for June in the ODS already (date 10) and when the load for July will come it will not touch the June data but on 2 July the load of first July will be deleted without touching the load from June 10. (The PC will run for the first 10 days of the month).
    How can this be implemented, There seems to be some FM for this but are there any other method by which the same can be implemented without much use of ABAP.
    Any relevant suggestion would be awarded points
    Regards,
    Samved

    Hi Bhanu,
    Thanks for the reply.
    I tried to generate the program but that can be used for selective deletion from the ODS i think soo.
    But my requirement is basically to delete the complete request from the ODS and not any selective deletion and at the same time I cannot use the complete deletion option as that will delete the request from the last month also.
    Are there any optioin at the level of Info package which can be used for these type of deletion.
    Regards,
    Samved

  • How to delete requests in PSA using Process chains

    Hi All,
    Can anyone explain me how to delete all the requests in PSA using Process chains.
    This is what I did...
    1. use Process type 'Deletion of Requests from PSA'
    2. Settings:
    Object Type - PSA table
    Object Name - <Datasource name>          
    Older than - 0 (Zero) days
    These settings doesn't work. Can you please let me know exact settings to use for deleting all the requests in PSA of a datasource.

    Hello Praveen,
    That's what I thought too. But if I use '1' one day, what if I need to run it twice same day? So this doen't work for my requirement.
    Any other suggestions?
    Thanks.

  • Deletion of changelog data using process chain

    Hi All,
             I have a requirement where i have to delete the changelog data for particular set of data using process chain.we have an option of deleting the entire data from changelog but how to delete only a particular set of data?????

    If you are on BI 7 than,
    Choose "Deletion of Requests from the Change Log" from process category Further BI Processes by double-clicking.
    Create a new process variant and in the variant maintenance screen select Type of Object as Change Log Table
    Under Name of object select DSO name
    Specify the requests that need to be deleted by determining the days or dates. You also have the option to specify whether you only want to delete successfully updated requests, and/or only incorrect requests that are no longer updated in an InfoProvider.

  • 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

  • HOW TO LOAD R/3 DATA INTO SAP BI USING PROCESS CHAINS?

    Hi,
    Can we load R/3 data into BI using process chains?... I loaded data from R/3 into Infocube using generic extraction using view... took 2 tables EBKN and EBAN and ceated view.
    In PSA I can find all the 2388 records but when I load into datatarget in transferred tab there are 2388 records but in added colum i could find only 2096.....
    I deleted the request and want to load through process chains....... but  how to do ?????? without flat file ...can we laod using process chains?
    I appreciate any inputs.......
    Regards,
    Prasanthi.

    did you even bother looking at the links in my previous posts???
    read the docs...try yourself...if you encounter specific issues, you can post them on the forum...
    if you're really expecting somebody to post a step by step for process chain, i think you can wait a long, long time...

    The steps used are
    1. Delete data from PSA
    2. Execute Infopackage
    3. Execute DTP for Attr
    4. Run Attr Change
    5. Execute DTP for TEXT
    While updating Text, I am receiving error for duplicate entry.
    I am trying understand the correct process to update Infoobject Master Data in BI7 (SCM5/5.1). Please adivse.
    Thanks,

    HI Narendra,
    In process chain functions, you can use  the process type with the name Trigger Event Data Change (for BEx Broadcaster)
    The above process type must be used to determine which InfoProviders should be checked for data changes. You can specify multiple InfoProviders within this process type either directly (by simply entering the names of the InfoProviders) or indirectly by specifying the name of the variant based on one of the following process types:
    • Execute InfoPackage (LOADING)
    • Activate DataStore Object Data
    • Update DataStore Object Data (Further Updating)
    • Read PSA and Update Data Target
    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.
