Deleting of obsolete "interface data" by archiving

Hi all
We use PI as a platform for distributing incoming non-SAP data to other non-SAP systems.
During this process especially the table SWWCNTP0 grows extremely...
What I found out is that I have to archive and afterward delete "Workitems" to have the (for me) obsolete data removed from this and other tables.
This works so far so fine. But in the end I got the obsolete data just somewhere else, this time in the filesystem where the archive job wrote the date to. And I got a reference in the systems that point to the place where these archive files are stored.
Question now is: How do I get rid of that archive file "officially", meaning I do not want to just delete these files as then the references in SAP point to an empty directory. I want to remove that file in a way the systems "knows and accepts" that this archived obsolete data has gone for ever.
Does anybody know how to achieve this??
Many thanks and any ideas are appreciated!

Hi Frank,
this is in fact a question about standard archiving, and so should be posted in a more appropriate forum.
I've had some experience with archiving, and as long as you don't want to reload archive files, I don't see any problem with just removing them from the file system. I don't think there's a setting in the archiving configuration where SAP will find this acceptable, neither will SAP complain about missing archive files as long as you don't want to reload the archived objects.

Delete data from archive server

Hello,
we have following question : How do you delete data from archive server which has passed the retention time and need to be removed from archive server.
Have you any ideas?
Thanks,
Stefan

Hi Planung,
For deletion of data SARA transaction is used. Also deletion indicator is required to set for the documents which you are not using. Use the bapi BAPI_DOCUMENT_DELETE for deleting the documents which are set with deletion indicator.
I hope this will resolve the query.

Archiving and deleting of equipment master data in plant maintenance module

Hi,
Can anyone explain me the process to archive and delete the equipment master data in PM module using archiving tools.
I tried doing it thru t-code SARA, would be grateful if anyone can help me with the steps to follow to archive the equipment master data.
Thanks in advance,

Many thanks for your reply,
I tried doing the same in IDES, but unfortunately the archive file is not getting generated when i write it. I have clearly specified in the variant to create an archive file. Can you please explain how does the system generate an archive file. And also in the customizing " Archiving Object-Specific Customizing " techincal settings, i have maintained the production variant and have marked start automatically.
Please advise,
thanks again ,

Keynote storing obsolete format data, and possible connection to crashes

An “Ah ha!” moment with Keynote leading to a question about how it stores information regarding themes and fonts, and whether this is a bug in Keynote and/or if there is something that end users can do as a work-around. These points came to my attention today when I exported from Keynote to PowerPoint to share a (very inferior ) version of my presentation with a colleague. Note that the Keynote file I exported from has not exhibited any problems related to error messages or crashes.
(1) Prior to making the export, I changed all slides to Keynote’s standard out-of-the-box “Gradient” theme since I had used Keynote Theme Park animated “Global Cool” theme (www.keynotethemepark.com). However, even though no slide any longer contained the KTP theme, in doing the export Keynote created a media folder of movies that contained the animated KTP theme. So Keynote is apparently storing obsolete file data and not cleaning up its house after the file is changed.
(2) Prior to making the export, I changed all slides to use only fonts that I knew to be on my colleague’s PC. However, when I looked under the “Contents” tab of the resulting Powerpoint file’s “Properties” info, I discovered that Powerpoint was listing all the fonts that had been in the original Keynote file but that I had long since changed to Arial and Arial Narrow. Checking through the Powerpoint file slide by slide confirmed that the original fonts do not appear. Again, it appears that Keynote is storing obsolete information.
MY QUESTION: I am wondering if what I discovered today about Keynote’s “elephant memory” is indicating a bug of some sort, and if so, is there a reasonable work-around for end users that will enable us to avoid having files bloated with obsolete data.
Also, I am wondering if this storing of obsolete file data could be related to the ”missing file” error reports and Keynote crashes that others have noted in this forum and that I addressed in my previous post. The solution I had discovered was a file level work-around, but the question remained as to what had brought it on.
BTW, this is with Keynote 3.0.0 because I reinstalled Keynote recently thinking that this procedure might resolve the crashing problem described in my previous post to this forum; the reinstall didn’t, but the problem was solved at a file level in the manner described in my previous post. Now that I finally have time tonight to upgrade again to Keynote 3.02, when I run Software Update expecting to see the Keynote 3.02 upgrade listed, it’s not there. Hmmmmm.… I know I can get it from Apple’s download site but since the site lists two downloads (3.0.1v2 and 3.0.2), I thought it’d be better to let software update manage this process. Now I’m not so sure.

Thanks, dook and Kyn. Not only does that seem to resolve the issues, but deleting unused master slides dramatically drops the size of the exported presentation (e.g. to 20%).
I wish the Apple Keynote team would provide a way to more intelligently delete unused themes so as to make it easier to email presentations. It seems to me that theere should be a setting available in the export process where one could do this. The only way I could see to do it was one master slide at a time. Please tell me if I am missing something here.
I also wish we could export just a range of slides, e.g. from # to #, or slides selected in the Navigator/sorter/organizer.

Deleting other Company Code data

Hello
Has anyone any good experience in deleting other Company Code datas. We had in mind archiving but seems it is more like"mission impossible" due to many opened documents whivch prevent to come to the customer in order to be deleted.
I know SAP SLO service, but it is much too expensive. Also we are not such perfectionist as they are.
Does anyone knows some product which could help us in this regads
Thank you in advance
Jan

Hi Jan,
You can use SAP Landscape transformation tool .Refer to SAP help for more details on the same.

Deleting large amounts of data

All,
I have several tables that have about 1 million plus rows of historical data that is no longer needed and I am considering deleting the data. I have heard that deleting the data will actually slow down performance as it will mess up the indexing, is this true? What if I recalculate statistics after deleting the data? In general, I am looking for advice what is best practices for deleting large amounts of data from tables.
For everyones reference I am running Oracle 9.2.0.1.0 on Solaris 9. Thanks in advance for the advice.
Thanks in advance!
Ron

Another problem with delete is that it generates a vast amount of redo log (and archived logs) information . The better way to get rid of the unneeded data would be to use TRUNCATE command:
http://download-west.oracle.com/docs/cd/B10501_01/server.920/a96540/statements_107a.htm#2067573
The problem with truncate that it removes all the data from the table. In order to save some data from the table you can do next thing:
1. create another_table as select * from <main_table> where <data you want to keep clause>
2. save the indexes, constraints, trigger definitions, grants from the main_table
3. drop the main table
4. rename <stage_table> to <main_table>.
5. recreate indexes, constraints and triggers.
Another method is to use partitioning to partition the data based on the key (you've mentioned "historical" - the key could be some date column). Then you can drop the historical data partitions when you need it.
As far as your question about recalculating the statistics - it will not release the storage allocated for index. You'll need to execute ALTER INDEX <index_name> REBUILD :

Delete noprompt obsolete

Hello,
RMAN >delete noprompt obsolete;
The "delete obsolete" or "delete noprompt obsolete" will delete the archivelog files past the retention from disk and will also delete any backups on disk or tape.
My retention redundancy is 1. According to the statement above, it will delete the archivelog files and any backups on disk or tape from a previous day. My issue is that I want to delete backups on disk based on the redundancy 1, but keep the archivelogs for 5 days then delete archivelogs. So, the "delete noprompt obsolete" will not work in my case.
So, I replace this "delete obsolete" with this command "delete noprompt archivelog All completed before 'SYSDATE-5';" to delete any archivelogs that are more than 5 days old. That would solve my archivelog issues, but what happens to my backups on disk (I want to delete backups based on redundancy 1)?
Thank you.

Does redundancy 1 retention take care of the #2 ? If so, why do I need the #2.
Thank you again.For your archivelog deletion policy, you can try what was suggested earlier
delete noprompt archivelog until time 'SYSDATE-5';With respect to your backups, you can have the retention policy left as it is by setting it to redundancy 1 and add this to your level 0 backup script/full backup script (if not added earlier).
crosscheck backup;
delete noprompt obsolete;My Bad.
I am of the opinion that the above command (delete noprompt obsolete) deletes even the archives that fall within the 5 days time.

HKONG: Material Transaction Interface 의 data를 처리 Process들에 대한 정의

PURPOSE
Material Transaction Interface 의 data를 처리 Process들에 대해 정의하고자 함.
Explanation
관련된 정보는 다음과 같습니다.
Material Transaction Interface 의 data를 처리하기 위해서는 다음의 2개의 Process가 수행됩니다.
- INCTCM (Process transaction Interface)
- INCTCW (Inventory transactions worker)
(1)
Records are processed into this table by the INCTCM - Process Transactions Interface from the Interface tables :
     MTL_TRANSACTIONS_INTERFACE     to MTL_MATERIAL_TRANSACTIONS_TEMP
     MTL_TRANSACTION_LOTS_INTERFACE     to MTL_TRANSACTION_LOTS_TEMP (Lot 사용시)
     MTL_SERIAL_NUMBERS_INTERFACE     to MTL_SERIAL_NUMBERS_TEMP (serial 사용시)
==> INCTCM 에 의해 interface table의 data가 validation후, temp table로 옮겨집니다.
(2)
After the records are processed from the MTL_TRANSACTIONS_INTERFACE into the MTL_MATERIAL_TRANSACTIONS_TEMP
by the INCTCM - Process Transactions Interface,
a worker will be launched to process the record from MTL_MATERIAL_TRANSACTIONS_TEMP into MTL_MATERIAL_TRANSACTIONS.
The worker is called INCTCW - Inventory Transaction Worker.
The INCTCM - Process Transactions Interface will launch a single INCTCW - Inventory Transaction Worker for all rows
that meet the criteria in MTL_MATERIAL_TRANSACTIONS_TEMP :
     TRANSACTION_MODE     = 3
     LOCK_FLAG          = N
     PROCESS_FLAG          = Y
Once the process is complete the records will be moved into the corresponding
transaction table :
     MTL_MATERIAL_TRANSACTIONS_TEMP     to MTL_MATERIAL_TRANSACTIONS
     MTL_TRANSACTION_LOTS_TEMP     to MTL_TRANSACTION_LOT_NUMBERS
     MTL_SERIAL_NUMBERS_TEMP          to MTL_UNIT_TRANSACTIONS
==> INCTCM은 INCTCW를 call하게 되고, 이 Process에 의해 TEMP table로부터 MMT table과 Inventory table에
DATA가 Insert됩니다.
The rows in mtl_transactions_interface are processed in 5 phases.
1. Derives dependant columns, eg:acct_period_id, primary_quantity etc..
2. Detailed validation performed on the records
3. On hand qty check for negative qty's etc..
4. Reservations Relieved if demand was created in order entry
5. Rows are moved to mtl_material_transactions_temp where the
transaction processor is called to process these rows and update the inventory levels etc..

Procedure to delete base on a date

I'm trying to create a procedure to delete all the rows that are < than the date received by parameter.
Need some help since I'm not sure how can I compare the dates, in the table the field is defined as date also the param that I'm receiving.
After that I would like to display the number of rows deleted by the procedure.
create procedure xx (param in DATE)
AS
BEGIN
DELETE
FROM Exhibicion
WHERE EXHFCH < param
thanks for the help.

Dario
It would looks something like
create or replace procedure xx ( the_date in date ) is
begin
delete from Exhibicion
where date < the_date;
dbms_output.put_line( 'Rows deleted '|| sql%rowcount );
end;
/Note, I have not actually run/testing this code, but it should be close.
Regards
Bob.

I'm worried about what will happen if I delete my recent backup data from the phone I still own? Will I lose any progress in games that was saved in the backup?

I'm worried about what will happen if I delete my recent backup data from the phone I still own? Will I lose any progress in games that was saved in the backup?
I have an iPhone 4S and I keep getting those irritating notifications that tell me I need to upgrade my storage or free up space. I've deleted all I can from my music and photos without losing too many precious memories, but it's come to the point where I think I need to delete backups. However, I'm just worried that I will lose all and any log-in information that I don't remember and app/game progress that was saved to the iCloud. Please Tell me what will happen/what I can do?

If you are asking what happens when you delete an iCloud backup, it only deletes the backup from your account. It won't do anything to the data on your phone or in your iCloud account. If you don't need to backup you can delete it. (If you no longer want to back up your phone to iCloud, turn iCloud backup off in Settings>iCloud>Backup. Then your phone will back up to your computer each time you sync it with iTunes.)

I made a new Apple ID and I want to delete my iCloud account on my iPhone, will it delete only documents or data or it will reset my whole iPhone?

I made a new Apple ID and I want to delete my iCloud account on my iPhone, will it delete only documents or data or it will reset my whole iPhone, like deleting my apps, contacts. Please I need your help.

All you have to do is this: Sync your 3GS to create a current backup. Then either: Settings>General>Reset>Erase All Content & Settings or restore it as a "New" device in iTunes. Both accomplish the same thing, erasing all of your data & settings from the phone. You can now give it to your sister, she can plug it into her computer, name it what she wants & sync her content to it. You then restore your 4S from the backup of the 3GS you created when you started. Follow this by syncing your content to your new phone & your 4S will look just like your 3GS.

I'm having some difficulty with Time Machine. It appears to be deleting backups from random dates on my external hard drive. I am not deleting them. Are they hidden and how do I prevent this from happening? Can I retrieve them?

I'm having some difficulty with Time Machine. It appears to be deleting backups from random dates on my external hard drive. I am not deleting them. Are they hidden and how do I prevent this from happening? Can I retrieve them?

... I didn't know that Time Machine was more a last resort back up instead of main back up.
Don't rely upon Time Machine to the exclusion of all else. I compliment Time Machine with a periodic "clone". TM is much better than nothing, but it's a safety net, not a hammock
Here is my understanding of Time Machine's file deletion algorithm, distilled from Pondini's FAQ, Apple's KB articles, and my own observations.
Time Machine deletes ("thins") files from the backup disk as follows:
Hourly backups over 24 hours old, except the first backup of the day
Daily backups over 30 days old, except the first backup of the week
Older backups get deleted when Time Machine requires space and you deleted them from the source disk.
Therefore, assuming TM has been performing at least one backup per day, backup files will remain available:
at least thirty days, if they existed on your Mac for at least a day
until you run out of space, if they existed on your Mac for at least a week
In addition to the above, Time Machine always keeps one complete copy of your source disk so that the entire volume could be restored if necessary. Any files that remain on your source volume will be present on the TM backup, no matter how old they are.
If you are using 250 GB of space on your source disk, its Time Machine backups are likely to require at least twice that much. A good estimate of the minimum required backup volume size would be about three times the size of your source disk - 1.5 TB in your case.
A more thorough explanation would require Pondini since he has plumbed Time Machine's mysteries far more than I have.
