Deleting Data/ Process Chains

Hi All,
I want to delete data from a number of cubes, and also after deleting I want to make sure that no data is to be loaded into these cubes via any process chains that are already present and loading. My Question is by looking at a cube how can I find out if a process chain is doing so?

I found them,. If I do not see process chains does that mean that particular cube is not in process chains?

How can we automate the process of selective deletion in process chain

Hi,
I got to delete data from ODS and InfoCube selectively every Tuesday. So I am aware that there is an ABAP program through which we can automate the process of selective deletion in Process chain. So plz let me know the proceedure to automate this process.

Hi,
Try this.
Need to genrate the deletion program using tcode Delete_Facts.
steps : 1 run the Delete_Facts tcode and give your cube name in the input parameter
step2 . select deletion program and execute . you will get the system genarated program
step 3 copy this prg and save as zprg.
step4 : run the program with selection
step 5. if your selection is date then you need to create dynamic varient needs to be populate the value for the date fields
step 6: you need to maintain the date values in the TVAR table if necessary
step 7. you need to use this custom prg in your process chain after completion of test

How can we delete a process chain?

Dear Ones,
By Mistake I have converted an infopackage group into process chain in Quality system. How can we delete a process chain?
Thanks,
Raj

Hi Bhanu,
I've doubt that what is the difference between cancel with core and cancel without core with respect to process chain.
Could you please advice how do we start a process chain daily without using the schedular window for transaction data.
Thanks in advance...

Who deleted the Process Chain

Hi,
Could you please tell me if there is a table in BW which stores the User IDs who has deleted a particular process chain? I would like to find out who has deleted my process chain which was there a week ago. If not is there an alternative to find this out?
Thanks.

You can get the logs from teh transaction "SLG1".
Enter the OBJ ID ,sub object as --* and enter the date parameters under wich you want to check the logs.
Click on execute.

When index's need to be deleted in process chain

Hi Friends ,
   I am looking for some info in what scenarios the indexes need to be deleted & recreated when loading data into a infocube thru process chain.
    I am looking for hard figures\ std rules like at what % of new data indexs can be dropped etc ..,
   Thanks

Hi Sri:
There is no formula. You need to do a small experiment with your Cube to determin this criterion. This is because the loading data to Cube not only depends on the number of records, bit other factors such as new SIDs, etc.
I would manually load the Cube with the number of recrods equal to the usual number.
Take the time.
Now, delete and create indexes in Batch Job in BW for the Cube. Again, note the total time.
If the second time is significant, dont't delete indexes, let BW manage them.
In my case, I load 2 cubes daily with same infopackage.
1 - deleted and laoded.
2 - history with deifferent level of aggregation.
No. of records = 1 mil.
Cube 1 - I delete indexes and create them.
Cube 2 - Don't delete this because this cubes keeps growing bigger and deleting and creating indexes will give diminishing returns.
FOr these bix Cubes, I do a seperate P-Chain to drop and create indexes on Sundays when no users are querying the Cubes.
Hope this will explain, but I don't have a formula.

DSO request Deletion through Process Chain

Hi All,
Can anybody know how to delete the last request number of DSO. i need to delete the last request using ABAP program in process chain.
I have 2 sources loaded to DSO..
Ex: Cube1 ...> DSO (1 st request)
    Cube2...> DSO (2 st request)
Please help me guys with abap code
Regards,DS

Dear DST,
I found this code for the same purpose. I haven't used it till now. Go through it I hope it will fulfill your requirement.
Create an ABAB report with desired modifications in this code and add that report to your process chain.
REPORT ZV_DELETE_REQS.
data: RSICCONT like rsiccont,
rsseldone like rsseldone.
data: begin of i_req occurs 0,
rnr like RSICCONT-rnr,
end of i_req.
refresh i_req.
select *
from RSICCONT UP TO 1 ROWS
where ICUBE = 'ZCS_D10'         " cube name
order by TIMESTAMP descending.
i_req-rnr = rsiccont-rnr .
append i_req.
clear i_req.
endselect.
loop at i_req.
select single *
from RSSELDONE
where RNR eq i_req-rnr
and source = '0CO_OM_OPA_5'.                " Data source name
if sy-subrc eq 0.

PSA Deletion through Process Chain

Hi Experts,
Currently I am working on the BW3.5 version. I would like to delete the old PSA req through Process Chain. I need some clarification. Please provide me your suggestions. Thanks in advance.
1)In SAP-BW 3.5 version, there is only one process type u2018Deleting Requests from the PSAu2019 is available to do this activity. This process type can delete the requests from the PSA only or Will it delete PSA and Change Log tables!!!!! In the SDN threads, some people said it delete the PSA requests only and some said it delete the PSA requests as well as Change Log.
2)Currently we are having six process chain and each has master & transaction data load(Data load through PSA).
Similarly I am planning to create six PSA deletion process chain which includes master & transaction data deletion. Here I am got little complication on finding Object Name(PSA Table Name).Please refer the screen shot.Is there any short cut to find full list of Object Name(PSA Table) which is currently available in the Process chain every day load.
3)On the request selection, i prefer "Only sucessfully booked/updated req.". I did not select"Only those req with errors,that are not booked in a data target". Please share your view on this selection preference.

Hi Murali,
Thanks for the response. I do understand about the identifying the data source & PSA retention period(days). Let me elaborate my question little more. Thanks.

In the SDN threads, some people said it delete the PSA requests only and some said it delete the PSA requests as well as Change Log.If i am not mistaken, In BW 3.5 PSA deletion will leads through Change Log also.Am i right?

So I can go through info pkg level and find the data source,then i can identify the PSA table name. But is there any other simplest way to find the PSA table name.

3)On the request selection, i prefer "Only sucessfully booked/updated req.". I did not select"Only those req with errors,that are not booked in a data target". Please share your view on this selection preference. May i know that which option is optimal on normal business process. If i did not select both options, then will that delete all the request in PSA!!!
Thanks.

Where to check the user id that who deleted the process chain

Dear Gurus,
If the process chain is deleted accidentally, can we check the user id used to delete. Where can we see the logs/information about that.
Regards
Ram

Hi Ram,
When you delete something in BW/BI, a background job is assigned to the requested task.
To check the same use Tcode SM37, provide details: Job name as BI_DEL*, user name as *, Job status as Finished, and the date or date range in which the process chaing was deleted. Then execute the request.
It will show you all the jobs which were used to delete something in the BW/BI.
Check the log of the request and you will get the required information.
Cheers...

Master data Process chain running long time

Dear SDN Team,
PC Process Chain: General Master Data - time running is about 4.5 hours . how we can improve running time.
There are 15-25 info objects are loading from this process chain.
any steps to improve the performace
thanks and kind regards,
Lakshman Kumar G

Hi,
Go to the function module RSD_IOBJ_GET to find the object name of the dimension. Go to SE37 & proceed as follows.
I_IOBJNM = 'Info Object Name'
I_OBJVERS = 'A'
I_BYPASS_BUFFER = 'X'
and then Execute the FM.
Double click on the "'E_S_VIOBJ'" and find the number in the field 'u201ENUMBRANR‟'
and add BIM to the number taken from NUMBRANR.
Goto SNRO T-Code and enter BIM+the number and edit.
From Edit--> Set up Buffering --> Main memory, select the buffering check box and enter approx 500.
This needs to be done for all the master and your dataload performance would improve.

Mani

To find only master data process chains and its infopacakges!!!!

Hi,
I have a task to remove the setting in the scheduler of directly assigning to data targets instead of PSA and then to data targets of the whole system!!!
i should not touch though the transactional info packages settings!!
these infopackages must exist in process chains -
how to go about this??

Hi,
If I have understand your point, then you want to change the setting of the infopackages that includes in the Process chain pertaining to the master date.
Then you can change the settings directly in the processing tab.
Or if you don't want to change the settings of the IP s that are in the Process chain,then go to RSA1 >> Select those IP s >> rigt click and copy it.Then you can change the settings there.
You can run each IP manually.Or if you want the same chain just with the changed settings,then copy the chain and put this new IP in place of the old one and schedule the chain.
If your doubts are cleared then kindly assign me some points.

Debjani..

Problems with BPC Export Transaction Data process chain

Hi everybody,
we are trying to implement the procedure "How to Export BPC Transaction Data using a custom process chain " for SAP BPC NW 7.0 and everything seems fine. However, when we execute it from Excel, the package apparently runs well (the message 'IMMEDIATE RUN: The package is running...' appears) but when we go to the watch the package status, the package does not appear in the list and there is not any file exported.
When we go to watch the log of the process chain from NW, the Modify Dynamically step runs wrongly but there is no clue of what could be done to solve it. We have done it again from scratch but we always have the same error.
Any idea out there?
Thanks in advance. Kind regards,
Albert

Hi Rich,
in the end we managed to export data. Our NW administrator created the custom process type wrongly - putting a blank space before ZBPCTXEXP - and now it has been corrected and everything works fine.
Well we have managed to transport applications to one server to another one and to export/import the transactional data.
Is there any doc that explains how to transport process chains from one server to another?
In BPC Opps manual there is not too much information and we should transport quiet a lot of process chains related with Runlogic issues .
Thanks a lot for your help.
Kind regards,
Albert Mas.

Master Data Process chains failing due to special charecters?

hi experts,
we have done all the master data(FI,SD,LO,QM,PM,MM,PP,PS) and created process chains and transported into production system.
when we run the process chains we are facing lot of issues regarding special charecters.
for example. 0MAT_VEND_ATTR Data source.
MATERIAL VENDOR (field - IDNLF).
'UDGÅET
&''UDGÅR
&''UDGÅET
&''36/5599/LED./FÆLLES
&''SØTRANSPORT &
those are the special charecters are coming when i try to execute through RSKC the above Material Vendors, its giving different special chars for different MATERIAL VENDORS like below.
FÆLLESSØTRANSPORT
04/5160/FORSØGSAFD.
(5150)FORSØGSAFD.
like that there are about 15 master data chains are failing.
due to that reason the below transcation chars are not executing.
please suggest me is there any routine or is there any procedure to take care of unpredicted special charecters loading successfully into BW.
regards
venuscm

I don't think its a global setting problem.
Permit the char in RSKC...
Check with the functional team why they are getting Special char values in the loads. ask them to rectify the special char so that you can extract the same to BW side.
go through the blog links provided earlier in my post...
Check the below link which might be of some use to you,..

Master Data process Chains

Hi All,
I have activated all the required Master Data Datasources in R/3 in which some are delta enabled like Customer and Material(along with Sales and Comp. Code views), some are not delta enabled like Sales Org, Sales Grp etc...and some are text fields like Customer Grp 1-5, Material Grps 1-5 distribution channnel text etc.
Now, I have to create process chains to regularise the loads for this data once we go live.
But, I am not sure, how many process chains do I need to create?
Should I include all the delta enabled ones in one chain and the others in another chain?
Do we need to load the non-delta(i.e full loads) ones also daily?
How about the Text datasources like Cust Grps1-5?
Thanks,
RPK.

I have struggled with some of those same questions, and finally ended up deciding simplicity was important.
My Daily Master Data loads go like this -
-- MetaChain - ZMD_D_METACHAIN - contains 3 subchains, one each for attributes, hierarchies, and texts.
Attributes - ZMD_D_ATTRS ( I don't distinguidh between Full and Delta). I have them all in one chain. I originally thought about having different chains, and decided to have them all in one chain - 6 different threads, all in one PC. This makes it easy to move different loads around if some MD takes longer to load - goal is to have all 6 threads run approx the same amount of time. These 10 threads flow into a Change Run. In the Meta Chain, I have the ZMD_D_ATTRS local chain send out a positive or negative completion e-mail.
I have a few subchains in this one, e.g. I load 0Fund, and then have 4 loads that populate Z attributes of the Fund MD. In this case, I use put these loads in a subchain - first the 0Fund load, followed by the various load of Z attributes. This way I'm sure everything loads in the correct order - not having two concurrent loads to the same MD tha tmight cuase a lock issue. It also helps document the relationships.
Hierarchies - ZMD_D_HIERS. Don't have a lot of them, but I found it cleaner to separate the mfrom the Attrs.
Texts - ZMD_D_TEXTS. I have about 10 threads that each load about 12 texts.
Some have argued to load Texts after Transactions, but it our case, none of these load all that long so I didn't pursue that. I also have a sepate PC to my MD problem children - 0HRP0SITION and 0PERSON whihc seem to have errors on a semi regular basis. Having them in a separate PC - not in the Daily MD MetaChain - means my Daily MD MetaChain rarely has an error and makes it easy to monitor. If its red, I know I have a problem (also received a msg from the PC telling me that), where as if I had a load that frequently failed mixed in, I would have to always check to see if the failure was the Problem Child, or a MD object that doesn't normally cause a problem.
Hope this helps. Wish SAP really provide more guidance on PCs. Ought to have a contest on SDN - Most Creative PCs......

Transport Request is not Generating while Deleting the Process Chain

Hello,
We have a old process chain across the Land scape(D->Q->P),now due to some reasons we have created a new one in Dev Sys.
Now we want to delete the Old Chain in Dev Sys and want to transport the same to remaining systems. But the problem is when we click on delete, straight away a pop up is coming as Do you want to delete the chain YES or NO.
Could any one of you suggest why it's not asking for a TR.
Thanks
Best Regards
Lucky.

Thanks Chanda
One more problem
The dtp which is there in the old chain is used in the new one also, when I am trying to add to a transport request, It is displaying this dtp has been locked with the new request.
I have deleted the new chain request and as you suggested trying to create a new transport request for the old chain,after giving the new description for new transport, strangely a pop up is coming as Specify a Request.
When I continue, finally it is ending with errors.
The user terminated processing of objects REQUEST (In RED)
Operation cancelled at user's request(In YELLOW).
Can you suggest what could be the cause for this.
Thanks.
