Deleting objects from MDS

Hi.
I want to know if and how we can remove/delete objects already loaded into MDS.
The context is old or obsolete objects which are not used any more but still sitting in MDS.
Thanks and Regards,
Jyotideep Singh (JD)

Hi All,
I have included my own folder in ${AIA_HOME}/AIAMetaData/AIAComponents and want to save it in MDS by running ANT command for UpdateMetadata.xml but it is not saving it. It is saving only files not directories. I have mentioned the UpdateMetaDataDP.xml file here. Please let me know how can I resolve this issue.
Following are the steps I followed:
1> I moved all the folders in ${AIA_HOME}/AIAMetaData/AIAComponents which I wanted to be there by FTP.
2> I updated the locations in UpdateMetaData.xml file (Please see the content below).
3>Ran ANT command for UpdateMetaData.xml file.
4>Result was Build Successful.
5> If you see the file below, in first UpdateMetaData tag, I want to save all the subdirectories and files under Manufacturing but it is not doing so.
Same is the case in other tags.
Kiindly suggest the steps as it is hampering our development work.

How to delete data from MDS

Hi All,
I have updated the composite for ReqABCS in MDS by running the ANT command. Now there is a ApplicationConnectorServiceLibrary folder created outside AIAComponent as I gave the wrong path in UpdateMetadataDP.xml file.
Now I want to delete this folder ApplicationConnectorServiceLibrary from MDS and run again ANT command so that this folder should be in AIAComponent folder.
Kindly suggest me how can I delete it from MDS.
Thanks,

Deleting objects from the stage

Hi all,
I've got some items on my stage that I'm removing with
RemoveChild(). The items no longer show, however, as stated in
LiveDocs, the item is not actually destroyed. This means any
bindings/listeners created by that object are still in existence
and are creating errors (Specifically, I'm getting "The supplied
DisplayObject must be a child of the
caller").
LiveDocs mentions that if I want to actually delete an object
from the stage entirely, I should use the "delete operator", but
for the life of me, I can not find any documentation on the
existence of such an operator. Any advice would be much
appreciated.
-Hob

It IS ridiculously hard to find. Searcing Live Docs for
delete oprator will turn up a slew of hits, but which is the right
one?
This is from old docs, but it is still valid:

Can deleted objects from pcd can restored ?

Hi all,
Is it possible to restore the objects deleted from pcd in any way.
please help me out it's urgent.....
Thanks all...
Sarang Pawar

Hi Sarang,
the only way to keep your new changes, is to restore the backup on another machine (ie: VMWare), which might be tricky but possible, and transport the objects from there.
Hope this helps,
Robert

Deleting Objectives from Appraisal Document

Hi All,
I have a criteria group called behavioral competences placed in my document, now a free enhancement is assigned to allow the user to select a qualification from the qualification catalogue and place it in the document.
However if a user adds an objective by mistake is their a possiblity to delete this specific objective, because when i assign deletion of element it is assigned on the VB level, and thus the user can either delete the whole behavioural section or keep it all, to me that does not make sense I'm sure im missing something here. Any Ideas ?
Regards,
A. Salah

Hello Ahmed,
If you have a free enhancment to add new criterias you usually add a reference attribute and this one has to have also the field 'deletion of an element' set.

Is there a way to create a transport to mass-delete objects from another system?

I am facing a unique issue where I have to generate a transport that will successfully import into an external SAP system and delete over 1,000 objects (reports, data elements, UI elements, transactions, function groups, the whole lot...). All of these objects can be easily looked up because they are in the same namespace.
Essentially, I need to remove all objects with a given namespace via transport.
Is there any way to do this other than manually deleting all of the objects in the source system and adding them tediously to a single workbench request? This would take hours if not days to do manually, especially due to dependency issues.
Thanks for any and all constructive feedback!

Hi,
I did a quick test: created a new package (development class) with one table, one function group using the table in global data definitions containing one function module referring to the table in interface, and one program that's calling the function module and using table in data definitions. Released the transport to Q.
Then, in the second our dev system, I created the same package and TADIRs for the three objects manually (SM30); released transport to Q of that system. Then I manually created transport containing all the three objects, the export log looked like this:
TADIRs in second dev system were gone after export.
Then I added transport to the first development system and imported
- the objects were gone (including their TADIRs) leaving the empty package.
In retrospect, I should have deleted the empty package in second system so it's cleaned up by the same transport.
If you do have access to "clean" system, doing via ABAP the steps I did manually should not be too much of a challenge.
I may have simply gotten lucky and if this works with all objects, for all kinds of dependencies, remains to be seen... though I was until now under impression that import itself doesn't check any dependencies at all... What kind of messages were you getting?
cheers

Deleting Objects from Frequent Contacts

Hi, I am writing a C3PO to remove certain contacts from a user's
Frequent Contact's list. It is mostly working, however it seem that
Groupwise occasionally freezes after my C3PO has run.
My C3PO creates a new thread on the Ready event, and then proceeds to
process and delete duplicate entries from the Frequent Contacts. The
thread completes without a problem, but then Groupwise will sometimes
lock up a few seconds or minutes later. Other times Groupwise might not
freeze at all. Or sometimes, GroupWise might work fine, but when I quit
Groupwise the window disappears without the process disappearing.
Causing future sessions to not start up.
Is there any known issues concerning removing items from the Frequent
Contacts list. Do I need to tell Groupwise that I have made changes to
the FC or something? Has anyone else experienced similiar instability
from their plugins? Any comments, suggestions?
Thanks.

Just wanted to add some additional information.
The freezing only happens after I delete an item from the frequent
contacts (maybe from other contacts as well, although I haven't tried).
The freezing does NOT happen if I delete the items from within the Ready
event handling routine. So it seems to be related to having a seperate
thread perform the deleting.
The problem with not using a thread, is that the process can take a long
time if the client is not in Caching mode and it doesn't seem reasonable
to make the user wait so long everytime GroupWise starts up.
Any suggestions? Is there another way to get a startup notification and
perform my procedure?
Thanks.

How to delete objects created in Integration repository(IR)

Hi,
I have created software componant in SLD and then imported that into IR.
Now i want to delete all objects from SLD as well as IR.
I have deleted theobjects from SLD but i am unable to delete the software componant objects from IR.
Can anyone please let me know how we can delete objects from ID?
Thanks,
Chintan Soni.

Hi,
If you have imported from the SLD into IR you will see the Software Component and one level down you see one or more Software Component Versions.
You can delete the Software Component Versions (one by one) and when you delete the last SWCV the Software Component will also be deleted.

Transport deleted objects in productive

Hi!
Help, plz.
What is the right way to transport deleted objects (levels, packages...) to PROD system from QUALITY?

Hi Marina,
I would think the right way to transport objects would always be from DEVP (development) to PROD and not from QUALITY else after a period of time it is possible that you might have three systems DEVP, QUALITY and PROD and none of them in sync with each other.
You use QUALITY only for testing/training purposes and not for development purpose.
If you have accidentally deleted objects from Devp, would suggest recreating the same in Devp.
hope it helps

Dreamweaver deletes objects (and is super laggy)

It took my 2 months to get rid of the slow laggy typing issue and now Dreamever decides to delete objects from my page. Every time I make a link, edit a photos properties, change a table, anything, as soon as it applies the change it deletes the object from the page. Luckuly I can "Command Z" it back but it is the most annoying thing in the world right now.
Also it goes through periods of being super slow to even select and highligh text or tables.
Please get a stable release out and forget all the fancy new stuff without making sure the basic functions work!

How to Remove a Report Object from a Category Without Deleting It?

I'm trying to "remove" a report object (in this case a Webi Report) from a Personal Category. However, I've found that when I right-click on the report within the Category and choose "Organize >> Delete", not only does it remove the report from the Category, it also deletes the "source" report from it's original location... not good. (NOTE: If I try this as a user without rights to delete report objects, I don't even get the "Organize >> Delete" option, as would be expected based on the behavior I'm seeing.)
Does anyone know if there is a way to "Remove" report objects from Categories without deleting the report from its original location? The only option I can think of is to simply recreate (copy/paste) the whole category with all of its components (less the undesired report object) and then delete the original Category.
Thank,
Josh

Hi,
This is much easier than it looks like, although it's not intuitive.
For example, when some webi is in a category, categories where the webi is linked are underlined in blue:
If you click in those blue marked categories and click Accept, you're unlinking the webi/report/dashboard from that category:

Delete Duplicates from internal table with object references

Hi
How can I delete duplicates from an internal table in ABAP OO based on the value of one of the attributes?
I have created a method, with the following code:
LOOP AT me->business_document_lines INTO l_add_line.
    CREATE OBJECT ot_line_owner
      EXPORTING
        i_user      = l_add_line->add_line_data-line_owner
        i_busdoc = me->business_document_id.
      APPEND ot_line_owner TO e_line_owners.
ENDLOOP.
e_line_owners are defined as a table containing only object references.
One of the attribute of the object in the table is called USER. And I would like to do a "delete ADJACENT DUPLICATES FROM e_line_owners", based on that attribute.
How can do this?
Regards,
Morten Nielsen

Hello Morten
Assuming that the instance attribute is <b>public </b>you could try to use the following coding:
SORT e_line_owners BY table_line->user.
DELETE ADJACENT DUPLICATES FROM e_line_owners
    COMPARING table_line->user.
However, I am not really sure (cannot test myself) whether <b>TABLE_LINE</b> can be used together with SORT and DELETE.
Alternative solution:
DATA:
     ld_idx    TYPE sy-tabix.
LOOP AT e_line_owners INTO ls_line.
    ld_idx = syst-tabix + 1.
    LOOP AT e_line_owners TRANSPORTING NO FIELDS FROM ld_idx
                   WHERE ( table_line->user = ls_line->user ).
      DELETE e_line_owners INDEX syst-tabix.
    ENDLOOP.
ENDLOOP.

*How to Delet one same object from different roles*

I need to delete one auth object from different roles, Couls any one please advise me how can i do this and if there will be any complications involved with tis.
Best regards:
Maq

In PFCG, it may be that you have added some objects manually. To remove them you will have to go to pfcg.
Even if you first remove the objects from su24, you will have to go to all the roles through pfcg to generate them in expert mode by selecting the third option (edit old status and merge with new data)

Deleted computer object from SCCM console, so why is it still appearing in SSRS reports?

We recently divested about 400 computers from our network. I got a list of these computers and deleted them from both Active Directory and in the SCCM Console. I know the deletes were successful because when I search via device name in the SCCM console
they no longer show up. Yet when I run one of our inventory reports in SSRS I still see several of the devices that I deleted listed there. I thought SSRS represented a" live view" of the SCCM database. If that's true then how can a computer object
that I deleted in the console still be present in the database? Is there something I'm missing?

Okay you are saying to select from v_R_System_Valid instead of v_R_System in my query and that will automatically filter out items I removed in the console? Okay that sounds like what I want, the only problem is my query is selecting form v_GS_COMPUTER_SYSTEM.
Can I just add "_Valid" to the end of that and achieve the same result?
Update - Yeah no I tried that and it did not work. Clearly I have a very limited understanding of the SQL views. Interestingly enough Torsten I see you posted a linbk on your blog to a new Microsoft article that documents the SQL views in SCCM 2012. Looking
at it now...

How can I delete Z.SAPB18.8_MyPO object from B1iSN 8.8

Dear All,
I have created only one object type (apart from the B1iSN default one)
Ex: For the Purchase Order object (LocalObjectId = 22) I defined only one B1iSN object type.
but I have the same error message "Sender SysId, Sender ObjectType or Sender payload is missing".
suppose If by mistake I create two B1iSN object types for the same B1 object (same local object id)
how can I delete one object from those two objects.
Thanks and Regards,
Anvar

Hi Anvar,
Z-objects always have priority against standard objects.
=> if you have more Z-objects for the same local object ID, it's always the latest created object
If you created an Z-object, please make sure, that the BIUs can handle this object.
All default integration scenarios need to be adjusted or copied to support the newly created z object.
If you want to delete your newly created object, go to SAP B1iSN Tools -> Repository Tools -> Entities - Remove:
Select your Entity Type (e.g. Object Type) and your Entity Instance (e.g. Z.SAPB18.8_MyPO) and press button Delete Entity.
B1iSN gives you information, if there're constraints (e.g. Publication Object or object is used in an active integration scenario) and the object can't be deleted.
Best regards
Bastian
