How to delete Master data using Process Chain

I need to delete data in respective data targets such as Infocubes, DSO’s & 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.

    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 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.

  • 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

  • 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

  • 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.

  • Loading master data through process chain

    Hi Gurus
    I am designing the process chain , I know that I have to start by loading master data first for that I am planning to load attribute first and then to load text and then Hierarchy. Is that the right sequence?
    Also how can I make sure that once the master data is loaded , the transaction data loading start automatically?
    I am planning to put attribute chage run as last process in every master data loading . Is that correct?
    Also i would appreciate if you can tell me the very first step I should follow to start my design, I have already identified the master data and transaction data and their respective dependancies.what would be my next step?
    Thanks for your help in advance.
    Kris

    Hi Kris,
    Make two seperate Process Chains for Master Data and Transaction Data
    For Master Data:
    Your sequence is absolutly correct, Identify what all Master Data Objects and make a list of InfoPackages and Start creating Process Chain as
    Start --> Attribute --> Text --> Hier --> Attr Change Run
    For Transactional Data:
    Identify the Data Targets and the Sequence of loading, then create the Process Chain
    NOTE: Always Master Data should be loaded before Transaction Data
    After Creating different Chains for Master Data and Transaction Data, Make a one Super Chain called Meta Chain where you can put all these process chains,
    Meta Chain  --> Process Chain 1( Master Data Chain) --> Process Chain 2( Transaction Data)
    also check these threads for process chain creation

  • 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

  • How to delete master data of materials from sap tables

    how to delete master data of materials from sap tables...its needed now.
    i know its not recommended but still we need to do this. give me the best possible approach.
    regards,
    suneetha

    Hi,
    I would suggest you not to write your own code to delete the entries.
    BAPI_MATERIAL_DELETE, this would mark all materials selected for deletion. But still the material would exist in SAP.
    Another solution: Delete a material manually and in another session execute the transaction SM04. This would display the tables which get locked when you do the operation, Then you can write your own code to delete the material numbers from all the related tables.

  • How to Update Infoobject Masterdata using Process Chain

    Hello,
    I am trying to update the Master Data in Infoobjects (text and Attr) by using Process chain.
    The steps used are
    1. Delete data from PSA
    2. Execute Infopackage
    3. Execute DTP for Attr
    4. Run Attr Change
    5. Execute DTP for TEXT
    While updating Text, I am receiving error for duplicate entry.
    I am trying understand the correct process to update Infoobject Master Data in BI7 (SCM5/5.1). Please adivse.
    Thanks,
    Sanju

    HI Narendra,
    In process chain functions, you can use  the process type with the name Trigger Event Data Change (for BEx Broadcaster)
    The above process type must be used to determine which InfoProviders should be checked for data changes. You can specify multiple InfoProviders within this process type either directly (by simply entering the names of the InfoProviders) or indirectly by specifying the name of the variant based on one of the following process types:
    • Execute InfoPackage (LOADING)
    • Activate DataStore Object Data
    • Update DataStore Object Data (Further Updating)
    • Read PSA and Update Data Target
    Hope this helps

  • How to laod Master Data using Flexible Update

    Hi,
    I have created 35 Characteristics and now i need to create a structure using 35 characteristics.
    I am unable to use the Direct Update because it is asking the Reference Object and Attributes
    But the 35 characteristics are not attributes.
    So how to create the structure and load the data into all 35 characteristics.
    Client is sending me the single file where it contains 35 fields.
    Thank you.

  • 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.

  • How to delete Master Data

    If I want to delete Master Data that has already loaded ,Do I need to select delete with SIDs  / without SIDs ?
    Please let me know the reason as well...
    thanks

    Hi,
    the best way is to delete with SIDs.
    Anyway, you can only delete master data if you have no data into the transactional data target (ODS or CUBE) where this master data is contained.

  • How to delete master data in bi 7? through process chain

    Hi all,
    I can see millons of records for master data is getting loaded daily. Can anyone pls advise me how to delete the master data through the process chain?
    Thanks
    pooja

    Hi,
    If Cube/DSO then we can choose the option Delete the Contente of the DataTarget in Process Type in PC. But for Mater data you can see any FM is available and keep that FM in Program and Insert that Program in PC's
    RSDMDD_DELETE_MASTER_DATA
    RSDPW_MASTERDATA_DELETE
    See the above TWO FMs in SE37 and if it is working then keep in in one simple program and then call that Propgram in Process Chain
    Thanks
