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
Craig

Delete Master Data using Process Chain?

Hi Friends,
How do I delete Master Data using Process Chain?
Thanks,

Hi Bhanu,
I am not sure why we would want to delete MD. But that is the task given to me. I actually know it is not possible. But is there a way to delete MD using chains?
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.

Unable to delete PSA data through process chain.

Hi Everyone,
I have got a problem in PSA deletion. We have got few PSA and change log deletion jobs which run at daily or fortnight basis. We planned to add few PSA tables to each daily and fortnight jobs depending on requirement.
We added in development and could see jobs deleting PSAs properly. Now on transporting to testing, we could see that PSA tables are not being deleted and there is no change in data. We have checked the PSA table names properly, in table RSTSODS and confirmed PSA is given properly only.
Anyone faced this problem or have idea about this issue, please let us know and suggest us.
Thanks and regards,
Shashidhar.

Hi Shashidhar
Just check for the PSA requests as below:
Go to PSA in RSA1/ RSA1OLD -
> Select the PSA -
> Settings -> Display selection for PSA tree -> give start date and end date or any other selecetions as per your requirement-> it will show you all the details.
Hope this helps.

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.

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 ?

Initial full load of Master data using process chain

Hi All,
Could you please help me regarding, initial master data load to characteristics with attributes and text. I need to load master data to 23 info objects, by using process chain can I do full load of master data to all info objects at a time. And one more doubt is, as per my knowledge we can't maintain more than one variant in an info package, is that right ? or we can ?
Means Start Variant -> Info Package (0Customer_Text, 0Customer_Attr,0BILL_TYPE_TEXT, BILL_CAT_TEXT) -> DTP ( ", ", ", ") -> ACR.
Your Help will be appreciated.
Thanks & Regards
Sunil

Hi,
"I need to load master data to 23 info objects, by using process chain can I do full load of master data to all info objects at a time."
if there is no dependency between attributes then you add you can create process chains and trigger them at a time. No issues.
we can't maintain more than one variant in an info package, is that right ? or we can ?
With one info pack you can't load data to all 23 psa. because each data source have own psa. you need to sue 23 info packs.
in general start variant--> info pack --> dtp (assuming as your bw 7.x)---> attribute change run.
like that you need to create 23 chains
Or create one two big chains.
one is for attribute and another for text.
In attribute
start varaint--> info pack(info bject 1)--DTP(infoobject 1))--> info pack(infoo bject 2)-->dtp(infoobject 2).
Like that way you can create in series and parallel chains to load attributes data into info objects. at end you add change run for 6 info objects each. SAme you can do for text loads also.
Thanks

Delete older data via process chain

Business needs only data for the past 45 days at any given time and the data loads are daily basis via process chain.
so I would like to have a step in Process chain to delete any data older than 30 days from today's date , on a daily basis.
How can I do that in the Process chain?

Hi,
You can use a process type called Delete overlapping request from Infocube in process chain. To delete requests older than 30 days select Deletion selections and write ABAP routine under Request selection through routine using following template.
Routines for determining the old requests to be deleted after successfully loading a new request.
form compute_<InfoCube-Name>
tables l_t_request_to_delete structure rsreqdelstruc
using l_request like rsreqdone-rnr
changing p_subrc like sy-subrc.
*Insert Source Code to decide if requests should be deleted.
*All Requests in table l_t_request_to_delete will be deleted
*from Infocube <InfoCube-Name>.
*Add new requests if you want to delete more (from this cube).
*Remove requests you did not want to be deleted.
$$ begin of routine - insert your code only below this line-
     loop at l_t_request_to_delete.
     endloop.
     clear p_subrc.
$$ end of routine - insert your code only before this line-
ENDFORM.
hope it helps...

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.

Loading Data Using Process Chains

Hi All,
we are having 3 layers for loading data using DB connect i.e 1st and 2nd layers we are having DSO's and the 3rd layer is cube.we are following the following updates for the 3 layers
1st layer- full
2nd layer - delta
3rd -delta
is there any possibilites of getting duplicates in the cube and if so how to solve this one using process chains
regards,

Hi,
Your dataflow looks ok.
Hopefully you are using "Std DSO", there is no chances of getting duplicate records.
But in case...
If you are using "WO DSO" with check box "Do not check Uniqueness of records"
In this situation you will get the duplicate... as "WO DSO" with this property will simply keep on adding adding the records.
Thanks

Delete psa variant in process chain

Hi all,
I am trying to create deletion of request from PSA and when I go to create the variant and new screen comes up where I have to specify a object type and then object name. also at the bottom there are 4 options older than __ days page before __date
only successfully booked/updated request
only those request with errors, that are not booked in data target.
Can someone tell how to deal with all these fields, in that object field and name do we have to specify an infooject? or can we just say anything older that 20 days and create a generic variant to use for all the process?
Please help
Thanks,

Well, I can try to explain in short:
No real best practice for number of process chains, but the way they are structured in our system is by applications: COPA, SD, Purchasing, CRM applications, Inventory, and some other custom applications. These are the process chains (can be several in each area) that take care of the transactional data load...and also other data load processes: compression, roll up, activate ODS data etc.
Master data load chains are divided as Daily, Weekly and Monthly. Of course several master data loads are also included in the transactional chains if we are doing a look up in the update rules, or may be some master data comes from the transactional datasource.
Other than that there is the PSA delete chain that was discussed above.
Hope this helps...

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 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.

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...

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
