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to specify whether you only want to delete successfully updated requests, and/or only incorrect requests that are no longer updated in an InfoProvider.

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?

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.

Selectively deleting load from ODS using Process Chain

Hi All,
I have a requirement in which I have to delete the last load of the current month if any and leave the load of the last month untouched which has to be done using process chain.
I will try to elaborate the condition required like say we have a data for June in the ODS already (date 10) and when the load for July will come it will not touch the June data but on 2 July the load of first July will be deleted without touching the load from June 10. (The PC will run for the first 10 days of the month).
How can this be implemented, There seems to be some FM for this but are there any other method by which the same can be implemented without much use of ABAP.
Any relevant suggestion would be awarded points
Regards,
Samved

Hi Bhanu,
Thanks for the reply.
I tried to generate the program but that can be used for selective deletion from the ODS i think soo.
But my requirement is basically to delete the complete request from the ODS and not any selective deletion and at the same time I cannot use the complete deletion option as that will delete the request from the last month also.
Are there any optioin at the level of Info package which can be used for these type of deletion.

Samved

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.

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

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

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

Automate Deletion of Infoobject Data in Process Chain

Dear BW Experts,
We refresh our QBI (Testing system) system every 4 months. Hence we have to drop all the data and refresh it again.
I have built a process chain to automate deletion of cubes and DSOs. I am unable to include deletion of Infoobjects (Infosources) in the process chain.
Could you please suggest as to how to do this via process chain (and not manually) since we have more than 20 Infoobjects where data has to be deleted.
Thanks,
Sai

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 characteristic cost center and with it the same values and the same texts.

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

Delete only the Fact table using process chain?

Hi Experts,
I have an issue,where i have to delete the contents of the Infocube.So when i drag the Process type "Delete Contents of the Data target" into the process chain.I Am able to delete the contents of the cube.
But in my case i need to delete only the FACT table and not the DIMENSION table.The system does prompt a message to delete FACT only /FACT & DIM TAbles.
Please advice if its possible to Delete the FACT table only using process chains
thanks in advance

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 ?

Need help in triggering the Data stream load using process chain

Hi Guru's
is it possible to trigger a data stream load using process chain?
Any help is highly appreciated.
Thanks
Indiran

Hi Indiran and welcome aboard!
Don't think this is possible. SAP BW & SAP SEM-BCS are rather independent systems. Though, BCS lives on top of BI-BW stack, it even may have master data different from those in BW.
Process chains, AFAIK, is completely the BW's feature. Certainly, you may use PCc on BW side, loading ODS/DSO and cubes involved in BCS data model.
The main con here is the lost transparency -- you don't control everything from the consolidation monitor.
The pro side is also rather obvious for me. Since, very often there is a huge difference between data quality at the data source and in the BCS totals cube, I need to make a lot of data transformation. Not only some data calculations or cleaning, but also transformation of data model: key figure model -> account model. It's much more easier to do in BW, for me.
I even call the ODS/cubes/routines involved in such transformation as intermediate layer, the layer between data source and SEM-BCS.
And this layer lives rather independently from BCS.
Hope this helps.

Flat file data loading error using process chain

Hi SAP Experts,
I am having a problem loading the flat file data to the cube using process chain. The issue is that when i run the process chain it fails giving the message " Date format error, please enter the date in the format _.yyyy" . I am using " 0calmonth in the datasource" . Strange is that when i manually execute the infopackage, i dont get any errors and am able to load the same file successfully to the dso and the cube. Is there any special setting for the process chain that i am missing?
The date format in the flat file is mm/yyyy. I have tried all the options i could including recreating the datasource and invain dont see any success so far. please help me solving this problem as we r in the middle of testing cycle.
Thanking you all for your quick response and support all the time.
Kind Regards,
Sanjeev

Hi Sanjeev,
I believe you are opening the .csv file again after saving it. In this case the initial 0 in single digit month (say 02/2010) is getting changed to 2/2010 and the resulting file is not readable to the system. Just do not open the file after you have entered data in the .csv file and saved and closed it. If required, open the file in notepad, but not in excel in case you want to re-check the data.
Hope this helps.
