Deleting master data in a process chain via ABAP "RSDMD_DEL_BACKGROUND" ?

I need to delete master data attributes in a process chain.
Since there seems to be no predefined process type for this, I looked for an existing ABAP in the dictionary and found the ABAP report "RSDMD_DEL_BACKGROUND". I plan to call this ABAP in an ABAP-process-step in my process chain.
Unfortunately, I'm not shure how to set the input parameters:
report rsdmd_del_background .
type-pools: rsd, rrsi, rsenq.
parameters: p_iobjnm like rsdiobj-iobjnm obligatory,
            p_chabnm type rsd_s_cha_bas-chabasnm obligatory,
            p_delsid type rs_bool default 'X',
            p_deltxt type rs_bool,
            p_obj    like balhdri-object,
            p_sub    like balhdri-subobject,
            p_ext    like balhdri-extnumber,
            p_noprot type rs_bool.
Can anybody help me, with the settings needed or point out another way to achieve the deletion of master data attributes in a process chain?
Thanks in advance, Frank.

Hi Frank,
as I already suggested in a previous thread, try to look at the FM 'RSDMD_DEL_MASTER_DATA'(in the pgm LRSDMDU12)...but pay attention to the other elements that the system certainly checks in order to complete this type of process !
Hope it helps.
Bye,
Roberto

Needs to delete one Master Data from main process chain in development syst

Hi All,
Can any one pls suggest how we can delete the master data load from main process chain in development system.
In the main process chain nearly i am having 52 master data loads in that i required to delete one master data.
Thnanks in Advance.
karuna.

Hi...
1) go to RSPC1
2) Give the technical name of the process chain
3) in the top where we write tcode....there write COPY..and press enter...
4) then remove the start process and the desired master data loads..
5) create a new start process with a new variant..if you want to put ant condition you can put it there...
6) then link the start process with the first process..
7) activate your process chain...and schedule it as per your require...you can make it immediate run or can scedule it for a particular time...
Or if you don't want to create anew process chain...then go to the design view of the PC and remove the desired load and again activate it...
Hope this helps you...

Debjani...

Master Data daily Load Process Chain Error..

Hi All,
I have a process chain which is used to extract master data for 6 infoobjects ,all the Attribute data is delta and all the Text Data is full , now my proess chain suddenly failed on 9/09/2010 and from that day even when i try 'Repeat' the Start process is fine but the next process starts and then goes to 'RED' when i checked the error i saw the error message as 'Requesting the last delta for master data is not supported' . Can anyone help me with how to rectify this process chain when i check the IDocs i am seeing a error 'Code page not found' and also an error 'Update mode R is not supported by the extraction API'
Can someone help please ...
Thanks In Advance...

Make sure your last delta was sussessfull or not?
If not change the status of the failed load to red and try to reinti the load.
This problem occurs when we tried to request repeat delta for master data extractors, For Master data datasources delta updated based on ALE Change pointers. So Repeat can't be done if any delta load ended with error.
YOu need to reinitalize.
For more detials plz check the below link

Master Data Loading in Process Chain

Hello All
I want to design process chain for Master data loading we have 8 modules in our project such as SD,MM,FI,CO,PP,QM,PM and LO how Design PC .Each Module one start varient and All Text,Attribaute and hierarchies Loading parallel ofter one Attribute Change run this Approach is Right Please guide me
and Module dependence are there ?
Like First load SD then MM like please guide me
Regards,
Ravi

Hi.......
Welcome to SDN.........
It is also possible to load like this:
load attributes
change run load texts in parallel
because chnage run and texts don't disturb each other.
If you want also to load hierarchies the following order is recommended:
load attributes
load hierarchies
changerun
texts at last or in parallel with changerun.
And for loading diiffterent area...........first tell me which architecture you are using..........split or LSA........
as per ur update u didnt mentioned the type of architecture wheather it split,or,LSA or some other thing which u are useing,
if you use Split architecture the load ,GD,DP,FC from FC completion of master data COPA will start so Complusary load FC first ,,u can run simulateanously (GD,DP,FC)it will be no problemand have to cross check about configuration of ur server also ,later you can start pp,tp in case of HR it will be total independent so check when u want to load
IN Case of LSA (layerd Scaleable architecture) first laod Masterdata .. which will same for all the Process areas (like 0costcenetr,0employee) later start the Trancation data which you feel which is important as per my knowledege go for FC in turn COPA because usually reports morely based on FC and COPA
Hope this helps......
Thanks==Points as per SDN........;)

Master data activation by process chain

hello all,
As I have seen that we have to right mouse click and activate master data after loading so that we can report on it. Thats a essentila step right?
How can we achieve that in process chain, when we run infopackage to load master data do we add some other variant to activate that data ?
Thanks in advance

Hi Raj,
yes we can acheive this using process chains, create a variant on this , in the process chains screen on the left side, u can see "ATTRIBUTE CHANGE RUN" in "OTHER BW PROCESS"

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!

Running Process Chains via abap

Hi all,
I have scenario in loading text file to cube via chains using abap, here the step:
Start from abap code to check the file, if exist run the Process chains
Process Chains
a. start
b. load data
c. updt from PSA
d. program "move file to err folder if loading error
e. Attrbute Change
f. program "move file to suc foled if loading successfull
g. program check file is still exist
it's looks like machine gun
The problem is always create two job "loading" (sm37) each file after abap code for checking file run the event 4 chains. This happened makes loading process takes time event the file only 20 records.
Why this happened? Please
Any suggestion is highly appreciated would be thankful for all
rgds
supriatna

you already raise the event after you checked the file successfully, right? And you already scheduled your process chain waiting for that event?!
-> yes, it's done and works
But what do you mean with 'each file have 2 jobs ...'
- > after a file founded and run the chains and I check the job using (sm37-job overview) there are create two job for BI_PROCESS_TRIGGER, BI_PROCESS_PSAPROCESS, BI_PROCESS_LOADING, BI_PROCESS_ATTRIBCHAN
is there time out ? no time out, stop by system
I have put 10 files but some times the process only run 2,3,5 file after that the job is stop.
here the message:
Process ABAP, job count 15425901 should already have started
System response
The chain has been terminated.
Procedure
There are probably not enough background proceses in your system.
Make sure that there are enough background processes, because parallel processes also run when process chains are processed.
The repeat frequency of the start-process may be too short. Look into this.
any suggestion on this problem ?
thanks in advance

List of Process Chains via ABAP Class

Anyone know if there is an ABAP Class that will return a table of the available process chains in the system? I looked at CL_RSPC_CHAIN, but don't see how to get a list of what is out there.

This works for me.. I would think you'd be able to do this with a class.. Thanks! Anyone else know a way to do this with one of the classes?
Thanks!

Deleting Master Data

Hi All,
I am trying to delete master data in a process chain.
But its not working , the chin is executing but the function module RSDMD_DEL_MASTER_DATA is retuning the message " No master Data was Deleted".
Please suggest how to fix this.
Appreciate help,
Deepthi

Hi Deepthi
Before deleting the master data.have look at transaction data like any dependency data is there r not.If the the trans action data is present then u can just delete that thing then only u have the option of deleting the master data in case of process chains.if any let me know.If my answer is useful dont for get to assign points.

How to delete master data via process chain

Hi All,
I have to delete master data before loading it again via a process chain.
In the process chain I chose the process " complete deletion of the data target content" but here I did not find infoobject as the data target option to delete the data.
Please suggest how to solve this.
Thanks,
Harini

Hi Harini,
P_CHABNM - It is for the reference characteristic.
I think if you dont have a ref characteristic then give the info-object name.
This is what I fetched fom help.
Reference characteristic
The reference characteristic has the technical properties of a characteristic such as data type and length, as well as the master data (attributes, texts and hierarchies). The characteristic itself also has buinesses semantics. Several characteristics can refer to the same reference characteristic. Such characteristics automatically have the same technical properties and master data.
Example:
The characteristics sender cost center and receiver cost center use the reference characteristiccost center and with it the same values and the same texts.

How to delete master data in bi 7? through process chain

Hi all,
I can see millons of records for master data is getting loaded daily. Can anyone pls advise me how to delete the master data through the process chain?
Thanks
pooja

Hi,
If Cube/DSO then we can choose the option Delete the Contente of the DataTarget in Process Type in PC. But for Mater data you can see any FM is available and keep that FM in Program and Insert that Program in PC's
RSDMDD_DELETE_MASTER_DATA
RSDPW_MASTERDATA_DELETE
See the above TWO FMs in SE37 and if it is working then keep in in one simple program and then call that Propgram in Process Chain
Thanks

How to delete Master data using Process Chain

I need to delete data in respective data targets such as Infocubes, DSOs & 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 Master Data Requests in a Process Chain

Hi All,
I need to delete and reload master data in a process chain. I created an ABAP program that uses the function module "RSDMD_DEL_MASTER_DATA" to delete the master data. I invoke this program from my process chain, and this is working well. My master data is being deleted nicely.
Question, however. I noticed that this does not delete the actual data request for that InfoObject. If I manage that attribute, I still see the request appearing, eventhough I see no records when I select the option to maintain master data.
Can anyone tell me how I can delete the requests for master data, and how this can be done through a process chain?
Your assistance would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you,
John Stabile

Deleting Master Data via Process Chain

I am in the midst of creating a process chain and am able to create process for deleting ODS Contents, but am not able to do the same for Master Data. Is this possible?

Firstly, why do you want to delete master data.
You cannot delete master if the same is used across other transaction and master ( attr )data.
You may use :
Prg - > RSDMD_DEL_BACKGROUND
FM - >RSDMD_DEL_MASTER_ DATA.
To my knwldge you cannot delete MD using process chains.
You can delete data in PSA periodically..is that you are looking for ?
