Help please: Selective Deletion of Infocube data (Sales)

Dear Experts
Am working on a BW 3.5 server
I have been referring to the below SDN posting
<u>Selective Deletion of Infocube data</u>
My scenario is like this..
My Sales data infocube has multiple records with the
same Delivery number and Bill of Lading number
(same material number also).
Some of these records are having "Created" status
others are with "Cancelled" status.
Requirement is to retain latest record based on Billing date
after deleting previous records
having same Delivery number and Bill of Lading number.
Kindly advice a best practice solution.
warm Regards,
AbyJ

Hi,
I think selective deletion won't be the right solution to your problem.
I would suggest to build up a second cube as a 1:1 copy of your sales cube.
Build a transformation or update rule from your old to your new cube. In the startroutine you can now easily retain latest record based on Billing date
after deleting previous records having same Delivery number and Bill of Lading number by sorting your data package according to this fields. After you have checked it in the new cube, you can either leave that and build the reporting on this cube if possible or in a second step you have to delete data in your old cube and then reload your new cube completely in your old cube. Build a transformation or update rule, easy 1:1 relations and reload data.
An issue for this approach can be the number of records in your sales cube.

Selective Deletion of Infocube data

BW experts,
I have a scenario where in "rough" data already stored in an InfoCube will be replaced by a more "intelligent" data from another source. The deletion/replacement of data should happen without manual intervention (cause flat file data files arrive at a schedule time and should be loaded "automatically"into the cube) What are my options here? I currently know that it is possible to delete infocube contents using function module 'RSDRD_SEL_DELETION' (perhaps do it in the Update Rule).
1) Is there another way (more "SAP Standard" or more "intelligent")? I need to delete based on characteristics that can be found in the file (e.g. the file has data for 0MATERIAL, 0CALWEEK).
2) What are the "watch outs" for using function module 'RSDRD_SEL_DELETION'?
Please advise.
Thank you very much.

Hello Emmanuel,
   In ABAP programe Just used the Infocube Name and the selection condition on what basis you want to delete.
See Below the code.
*add the fiscper selection in L_THX_SEL table for seletion of data
CLEAR L_SX_SEL.
L_SX_SEL-IOBJNM = '0FISCPER'.
    CLEAR L_S_RANGE.
    L_S_RANGE-SIGN = 'I'.
    L_S_RANGE-OPTION = 'EQ'.
    L_S_RANGE-LOW = TFISCPER. "yr data.
*--this is imortant otherwise data wil not delete
    L_S_RANGE-KEYFL = RS_C_TRUE.
    APPEND L_S_RANGE TO L_SX_SEL-T_RANGE.
INSERT L_SX_SEL INTO TABLE L_THX_SEL.
**get the selection for company
CLEAR L_SX_SEL.
L_SX_SEL-IOBJNM = '0COMPANY'.
    CLEAR L_S_RANGE.
    L_S_RANGE-SIGN = 'I'.
    L_S_RANGE-OPTION = 'EQ'.
    L_S_RANGE-LOW = VARIANT.
*--this is imortant otherwise data wil not delete
    L_S_RANGE-KEYFL = RS_C_TRUE.
    APPEND L_S_RANGE TO L_SX_SEL-T_RANGE.
INSERT L_SX_SEL INTO TABLE L_THX_SEL.

Hope This will help.
In Start Routine there is no disadvantage to delete the data from data package.
But it depened on the scenario and requirement.

Selective deletion and plan data

Hello Gurus,
I am having some doubts
Any one of them,could you please clarify my doubts.
1.By using the selective deletion (for Infocube),I have deleted some records.
when i checked it on the log,In Deletion mode its showing the different values such as D,N and R....
When I deleted the records,it has created 2 requests in log .
onething its showing the status as 'N' and another thing as 'R'
What is this mean.why its differing by requests.
2.Reg plan data,How we are getting this plan data.(I know,based on actual data we are creating),But what is the procedure,how and where we are creating this plan data like R/3 or BW.
Will assign points.
Thanks in advance
Brgds
Kumar

Hi,
As far as plan data is concern, there would be various plan data requirements for an org. let's say 'sales budget' / 'Production Planning' / 'Procurement plan' /
'inventory status'..and so on so forth..
basically when ever there is plan data requirement normaly the concern department has to prepare the paln data for the quater/Half/fiscal year, on either
a legacy system or R/3 system..
If it is from R/3 you are suppose to create a DS and then an infosource and so on..
If it is a Legacy system - then go for the File Upload, after making your flat file
infosource.
Hope this helps..
assign points if useful..
cheers,
Pattan.

Selective Deletion from Infocube Only (Not from Aggregates)

Hi,
For the Selective Deletion, i used the FM 'RSDRD_SEL_DELETION' in program. But this FM deletes the data first from Infocube then from aggregate.Because of this, deletion took more time to delete and adjust the Aggregate.
I need an way in which i can delete the data from Infocube only and after i reach to my reconcile period then i will deactivate and actiavted the aggregate, so the data will be consistent in Infocube and aggregate.
is there any to Delete(Selective Deletion) the data only from the Infocube not from its aggregate (for the Performance Point of View)?
Thanks in Advance.
Regards,
Himanshu.

Hi
You can try manual selective deletion which will delete data from cube only. check out the below thread.
steps fro selective deletion for cubes and ODS
If you want to delete data from FM only, then try to deactivate your aggregates before you start your selective deletion.
Once deletion is done, you can reload the aggregates

Little help please regarding deleting files and folders...

My wife has a MBP and has accumulated some old items in her documents folder that she'd like to delete. She has a USB mouse but the "right click" doesn't appear to work. She's running 10.4.11 and can't reveal the files in icon mode to facilitate dragging to trash. Certainly there is a sequence of keystroke commands that will allow these files to be effectively trashed, but our "control/delete", or "apple/delete", or "option/delete" doesn't do the trick after highlighting the subject file. Help please! TIA!

To delete a file or folder, high light it then using the keyboard type Command Delete and that will delete it. If you have multiple files and/or folders the same keyboard commands apply.

Roger

Selective Deletion using 0REQUID & Date fields in combination

We are running SAP NetWeaver 2004s patch 15 I have tried to run a selective deletion with request ID and date fields but we are getting an SQL error. The cube is compressed but the requests I am after have not been compressed. Is this an activity I should be able to do? I have checked SAP messages and found one but it was for version much older than ours below is the error message I recieve in the Job Log.

Thanks for the quick response. I have validated that the data ranges do exist for the requests. Part of our process is to use the same selection to output the data before the deletion is ran so we can validate the number of records that are purged and have a backup of the data in case another issue is discovered at a later date.
When I run this seleciton for output I get over 30k records. Unfortunately I cannot just blow away the requests as most contain data that needs to remain. As well as we use this as a source for delta records that come from multiple sources so the logistics of resetting the delta indicator on the requests and not screwing up other delta's is a big risk. If I should be able to run a selective deletion with request I am hoping SAP can respond with a fix to the issue.

Selective deletion in master data

Hi all,
I m unableto delete a particular employee from the 0EMPLOYEE master data.Please help me on this
Thanks,
Mahee

hi Mahee,
you can't delete master data if it's used in infoprovider(ods/cube), you can check this with
rsa1->infoobject->choose the characteristic->'master data maintenance', select the row for that characteristic value, and button 'delete' (trash icon) and 'save', you will get a message 'master data cannot be deleted'.
transaction slg1, object RSDMD, subobject MD_DEL, and execute, in next screen double click the top node, you will see the log, message text in below panel, e.g 'master data xyz(SID xxxxx) is used in /.../...'
xyz = characteristic value
/.../... = table name, can be dimension table of infocube, e.g /bic/d[infocubename]x, then you know which data target used the value
How to see where all the master data is being used
hope this helps.

Help Please - Accidentally Deleted Private Folder

Please could someone help.
I have accidentally deleted the Private folder in the root of the HD
Now OSX will not boot.
The folder is sitting in my Trash folder and I would like from the Boot CD Terminal to copy back from the trash to the Macintosh HD/ location
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Mim

Not quite: If MimUK's account shortname is (for example): mimuk
then it would be within that account's Trash, namely, you'll have to (yes) boot from another volume (not sure this will work booted from CD, but it might), *mount the drive in read+write mode*
ie (possibly requiring sudo, depending on circumstances):
sudo mount -uw /Volumes/nameOfTheDriveInQuestion
sudo mv /Users/mimuk/.Trash/private /Volumes/nameOfTheDriveInQuestion/
Moral of this story: don't make hidden folders visible for reasons just such as this
And in any case, don't delete something unless you know full well what it's for.

Desperate for help please, accidentally deleted all address book contacts!

Hi all,
I accidentally did a cmd-a in my address book and deleted all my info :0( I then synced my iPhone thinking the contacts would populate the address book, but now I have lost the information in both, is there any way back?
Thanks in advance

Hey B, Now that you've taken a deep breath, any chance a backup may reside in all that storage I'm looking at in your profile?

How to do a infocube selective deletion in a process chain ?

Hi all,
I encounter a little diffculty : I have a process chain that allow me to load daily R/3 datas into a BW/APO infocube, that works perfectly. The problem is that the volume of datas naturally keeps on growing, so I'd want to create a new step in the process chain, that would allow to make selective deletion in the cube.
For example, after every data loading in the infocube, datas of the cube that are dating of more than x days should be removed. I just can't find a process that allows me to do that, but only"complete deletion of data target contents", or "delete overlapping requests from infocube".
I'm quite sure there's an easy way to do that but.... Anyone go an idea please ?
Many thanks !
Fabrice

Hi Fabrice,
To my knowledge, there is no standard process type in process chian that can do this. You can include a program that can delete the old records. I am sure it is a simple login in it. You can do selective deletion in infocube manually but I wish we have a variant that can be created at this screen and refer in a process type. But at this time, I see only the program as solution.

How to go for selective deletion if the request is rolled up???.. URGENT!!!

hi all,
we a have a data target which was compressed and rolled up...
please do suggest us how to go for selective deletion if the data target was rolled up???
on what basis we need to do the selective deletion ??
thanks for ur understanding...
suggestions would be highly rewarded
regards
Prince

Hi,
in the subsequent datatargets of your ODS:
if the requests are only rolled up, then you can delete those requests; now if your aggregates are collapsed then you'll have to dactivate them and reactivate them after. If not you can simply delete them.
then delete all the requests from your ODS up to the request right after the missing one. This will deactivate you ODS delta init. This is not a problem since when you'll have finished with the above your ODS and subsequent targets will have a consistent status in terms of data.
Reinit your ODS delta without datatransfer, reconstruct your missing request and the subsequent requests in your ODS.
Reactivate them (not all together as a single activation, but separately).
Then load the delta into your subsequent targets.
Now if the subsequent datatargets are collapsed then you'll have to either reinit with full load or selective delete them. the missing request in your ODS still must be reloaded before!
If you go for selective deletion you'll have to find the right selection criteria based on the data of your ODS. For instance if you can ensure that only a selected period is incorrect (all the ODS requests from the missing one to the last only contain data for JAN08) then you can selectively delete JAN08 from your subseq targets and perform a FULL load selecting JAN08 from your ODS.
Then perform an INIT without data transfer... you can then continue your deltas as usual....
hope this helps....

Selective deletion for particler cube and rebuild of aggrigates in Psystem

Hi Friends,
1.In my manage data target screen i have 8 cubes but i want do selective deletion from 1st cube ..how i can do ..?
Im thinking like...IN DETILS column i will select.one data target and then i will go to contents tap and then selective deletion for paricler requst ID...is correct to do selective deletion for particler data target out of 8 cubes..plz tell me
2.in production ...while doing selective deletion ...aggregates are failed...means status is in red color...
now,how can i create or build or rebuild those aggrgates again...please and my qns...
Thanks in advance

Hi
1. technically Yes its ok to do selective deletion of only 1 cube, incase of delta load you will have to do selective reload to only that cube otherwise data for that perticular selection will get doubled in rest of 7 cubes.
Actually depends on situation in which you plan to do so.
2. its possible to aggreegates get affected due t selective deletion.
Just go to manage->rollup tab of cube and rebuild agreegates.
Hope this helps.

ALMOST NO STORAGE HELP PLEASE!

I was uploading my video to youtube from imove and i have almost no storage left it was fine before i did it i had 85.73 gb and now i have 22.21 gb I REALLY NEED HELP PLEASE i deleted the video and the files i have no idea what it did please someone help and fast and dont say get omni disk sweeper because i cant find the files that are taking up space i dont know what files are important so please help !

You need to change the premise of your SSD use.
see here:
Your Solid State Drive and having enough space inside your Macbook Air & Pro
Solid State Drive usage premise, or the “more space / upgrade SSD” question
There have been questions posed and positions taken by many people who are trying to use their Macbook Air or Pro’s solid state drive (SSD) as a mass media storage device, for either pictures, videos, massive music collections or all three combined; but this should not be the working premise of a ‘limited’ SSD and its use.
In which, it’s the case of those users with either 128GB, 256GB, or even 512GB of internal SSD space, that have or are running “out of space”, that questions are raised. The immediate premise of some users can sometimes be “(how to / if) upgrading my SSD” when in fact in nearly all instances another approach is the logical and sensible one that needs to be looked into and exercised.
Any Macbook containing a SSD should be idealized as a ‘working platform’ notebook containing all your applications, documents, and weekly or bi-weekly necessary files. All collections of media files such as pictures, music, and videos, unless directly needed should be kept off the notebook and on an external hard drive or likewise. While the ‘working platform’ premise is also the case with larger internal conventional hard drives of 1TB+, its implementation isn't as critical except in terms of data protection.
Realistically, you should at most coordinate roughly 20 to 25% of your total SSD space to all audio-video personal use media (picture / music / video collections), leaving the remaining amount on an external HD.
Nobody should consider any notebook a data storage device at any time under any circumstance, rather a data creation, sending, and manipulation device; and in the case of a SSD, this is more important for purposes of having sufficient working space on the SSD and reducing SSD ‘bloat’ in which cases someone is wrongly attempting to use the SSD space as a large media storage nexus.
The rare exception to the collective usage and premise of SSD use in which a much larger SSD is truly needed are for those in video and photography professions that require both the extremely fast speeds of the SSD and the onboard storage for large and or many video and photography files. However this also falls under the premise of a ‘working platform’ for such peoples rather than the intent of many who are using the SSD as passive and static data storage for media files very infrequently needed or accessed.
All on-notebook data collections should be logically approached as to necessity, and evaluated as to whether it is active or passive data that likely doesn’t need to be on the notebook, allocations of space-percentages to as-needed work and use, apportioning space for your entertainment media, and questioning whether it should it be on the notebook for more than short-term consumption.
Considerations should be made in the mind of any user in differentiating the necessary system data (System hub) comprising the Mac OSX, applications, necessary documents that both must and should be on your internal SSD, and that of the users personal data (Data hub) comprising created files, pictures, music, videos, PDF files, data created or being created and otherwise, that likely unless being used soon or often should be parked on an external hard drive for consumption, or temporarily loading onto the internal SSD.
You both can and should purchase whichever SSD size you need or see fit, but even in the case of the largest of SSD, unless use-considerations are made, and SSD spaces are allocated as should be the case indicated above, one can easily and immediately run into this quandary of “needing more internal SSD space”, in which instance a different approach in usage must then be implemented.
However it is almost always the case, that such large media files are wanted to be stored internally rather than actually needed, in which case the external HD is both prudent as well as necessary. Additionally costs per MB are infinitely less on an external HD than an internal SSD in any consideration of data expansion needs.
A Professional Example
In the case of a Macbook Air or Macbook Pro Retina with ‘limited’ storage on the SSD, this distinction becomes more important in that in an ever rapidly increasing file-size world, you keep vital large media files, pics, video, PDF collections, music off your SSD and archived on external storage, for sake of the necessary room for your system to have free space to operate, store future applications and general workspace.
You should also never be put in the position of considering “deleting things” on your Macbook SSD in order to ‘make space’. This is especially what your external HD is for.
Professionals who create and import very large amounts of data have almost no change in the available space on their notebooks internal SSD because they are constantly archiving data to arrays of external or networked HD.
Or in the case of the consumer this means you keep folders for large imported or created data and you ritually offload and archive this data for safekeeping, not only to safeguard the data in case your Macbook has a SSD crash, or gets stolen, but importantly in keeping the ‘breathing room’ open for your notebook to operate, expand, create files, add applications, for your APPS to create temp files, and for general operation.

External Hard Drives
External hard drives are both extremely cheap and regardless of the size of your internal SSD (or even internal hard drive if the case), you need an external hard drive with your SSD equipped Macbook for several reasons:
1. Data backup and protection.
2. Redundancy for important data.
3. Necessitated ideal space for large media files for collections of pictures, videos, and music etc.
While ever changing in price, typical portable 2.5” external hard drives in USB3 run roughly $65 for 1TB or $120 for 2TB small portable USB3 hard drives. Such drives range in thickness between 5mm and 15mm, with recent improvements in storage of 500GB drives in 5mm profiles.
There is almost no premise in which a small 12mm thick 1 Terabyte USB hard drive cannot be taken along with any Macbook as an external large storage extension inside any Macbook carry case or pouch. Typically such external HD profiles are not much bigger than a deck of cards.
External hard drives are a foregone necessity for purchase with any Macbook for at the very least Time Machine backups, data redundancies, and ideally for large media storage.

Select the photo(s) in iPhoto and export to a desktop folder (file menu ==> export) - see this user tip for export options - then be sure the card is not locked and in the finder verify available space and if it is adaquate drag that folder to it
