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.
Bye

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.

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 ?

Delete Master Data using Process Chain?

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,

Loading master data via process chain

hi experts,
I have to load data in infoObject via process chain, my infopackage has update mode as full update. Now my question is do I have to delete the previously added data from infoObject and then run this full update infopackage in process chain or system will only fetch the newly added records from source.
regards,
ray

You can not delete the data from master data once the transcational data is posted against the master data value. Attribute value can be deleted, but you can not delete the value of the main characteristics from master data table.
Moreover, you dont need to delete the data when loading master data. Master data always overwritten with the new reocrds.
As described, first load the full load and then on daily basis you can load the delta.
DO NOT FOGET TO SCHEDULE ATTRIBUTE CHANGE RUN to activate the newly loaded data into master data.
Make sure that your master data is not enhanced, otherwise any change in the enhanced field will not generate delta record. If this is the case, then load in full mode everyday.

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...

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

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 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

How to delete Master Data transferred from ECC to APO via CIF

Hi, all
I'm connecting SCM 5.1 with ECC 6.0 via CIF.
When activating Integration Model in ECC, the following error occurred;
"Location 0001 of type 1001 (BSG 592BUSGP) already exists in APO"
This is because Location 0001 was already transferred from different ECC client via CIF, and not cleared.
I'm now trying to initialise master data transferred from ECC to APO via CIF, but in vain.
I suppose I have to first delete all master data CIFed from ECC in APO, or have to execute initialisation of APO master data with ECC data in ECC.
Please tell me how to do this.
For details, please read the followings;
I connected APO client with ECC client 590.
I transferred Plant and Material Master from ECC to APO via CIF.
After that, I wanted to change ECC client from 590 to the other.
I created the other client (592) by client-copying from 590 with SAP_ALL copy profile.
I deactivated Integration Model in ECC 590, and activated the same in ECC 592.
Here, I faced the problem.
The initial data transfer failed due to the duplicate of data.
Now I'm wondering how I can initialise master data in APO and transfer initial data from ECC.
Due to testing purposes, I have to change ECC clients from one to the other this time, but I cannot initialise master data in APO and cannot tansfer initial data from different ECC client.
thanks in advance,
Hozy

Hi all,
Thank you very much indeed for lots of your replies.
Thanks to all of your advices, I'm getting to understand what to do.
Well, I'll say I have to create one more client for testing with other ECC clients or I have to rebuild the client by client-copying from 001 and implementing all transportation requests, for marking del flags to each master data and running del programme sound like tough work, and sound like odd ..
Then, I've got next issue here.
In SCM-APO, I use BI objects, and , if I have to create several clients for testing, I have to set up clients where you can use both BI objects and CIFed master data.
I suppose I have to change 'BWMANDT' in RSADMINA and make RSA1 accessable in other SCM clients and implement tests.
Also, I have to register BI System for newly created SCM clients in RSA1-SourceSystem.
Well, if you have any experiences on this kind of use, and if you have any advice on it, please give me any tips.
Particulary, I'd appreciate very much if you give me advice on which way you have chosen; creating several clients or rebuilding the one client in SCM-APO when you use both BI objects, CIFed master data and Demand Planning.
Thanks in advance.

How to rollup cube data in Process chain?

I have loaded data into a cube, and when i look at the technical status it is green but there is nothing in the "request for reporting available"box. I went to Rollup Tab and manually execute the request. It worked.
But is there anyway that I can add a process type to do it automatically? I saw there are three process type related to Rollup, which one should I use?
1. Initial Fill of New Aggregates
2. Roll Up of Filled Aggregates/BIA Indexes (what does this mean?)
3. initial Activation and Filling of BIA Indexes
Thank you!

Dear experts,
We have the following problem: for certain figures we have on ODS level 2 daily updates: one at night and one at noon. During the week at noon we only load from the ODS into the Cubes only that data that is entered the same day (selection on CPU-Date in the InfoPackage). After loading the data at night we load the data which was entered the previous day (selection on CPU-Date in the InfoPackage). In this process we have a step in the process chain that deletes in the overlapping request of the previous day (which was loaded at noon).
Our Process Chain for loading the data from ODS into the cubes looks as following:
Delete Indexes of the cubes -> Load data from ODS into Cubes -> Generate Cube Indexes -> Delete overlapping Requests in InfoCubes
After filling the BIA-Indexes on this cube, the process chain gives an error message at the stage where the overlapping request should be deleted. The error messages says:
Uncaught Exception: Keyfigure is of type Float.
To solve this error at the moment we manually delete the BIA Indexes, delete the overlapping requests and fill the BIA Indexes again. Since the functions 'delete BIA Index' and 'Fill BIA Index' is not available in RSPC we can not do this automatically in the process chain.
I also tried like above mentioned taking the step 'roll up filled BIA Indexes' into the process chain, but the check of the process chain creates a message stating that i cannot do this when in the same process chain the steps 'Delete Indexes of the Cube' and 'generate Indexes of the cubes' are included.
Does anybody know a solution how i can delete overlapping requests in a process chain with filled BIA Indexes.
Many thanks in advance for your kind reply.
Best regards,
Ilja Dekeyser

Require Q1 2012 data via Process chain

Hi ,
I want to trigger a process chain daily which will get only Q1 2012 data.
Is it possible via sm36 tcode.
how can i achieve it.
please suggest.
Thanks.

You can give selection at infopackage level.
1>Either you can use standard variable.
2>You can write a routine.
Please find the sample code for previous month load :-
   data: l_month(2) type c,
        l_month_prev(2) type c.
          l_month = sy-datum+4(2).
          l_month_prev = l_month - 01.
        l_t_range-low = l_month_prev.
        l_t_range-high = l_month_prev.
        l_t_range-sign = 'I'.
        l_t_range-option = 'BT'.
            modify l_t_range index l_idx.

Master data in process chain

I have to create pocess chain for updating master data for following objects:
0Vendor - full load
0GL_account - Delta
0pur_group - Delta
any guideline how i will proceed?

SAP BI
Usually we create seperate process chains for Delta and Full loads. Since you have only three objects you could create just one process chain for all three. First create the start process and load all these three objects in parallel and one after other depends on the volume of records.
Hope this helps

Issue while loading Master Data through Process Chain in Production

Hi All,
We are getting an error in Process chain while loading Master Data
Non-updated Idocs found in Source System
Diagnosis
IDocs were found in the ALE inbox for Source System that are not updated.
Processing is overdue.
Error correction:
Attempt to process the IDocs manually. You can process the IDocs manually using the Wizard or by selecting the IDocs with incorrect status and processing them manually.
I had checked the PSA also but I could not find any record and the strange thing is, Job itself is not getting scheduled. Can any one help me out in order to resolve this issue.
Regards
Bhanumathi

Hi
This problem is not related to Process chain..
u can try this..
In RSMO, select the particular load you want to monitor.
In the menu bar, Environment >>> Transact. RFC >>> Select whichever is required, BW or Source System.
In the next screen you can select the Execute button and the IDOCS will be displayed.
Check Note 561880 - Requests hang because IDocs are not processed.
OR
Transact RFC - status running Yellow for long time (Transact RFC will be enabled in Status tab in RSMO).
Step 1: Goto Details, Status get the IDoc number,and go to BD87 in R/3,place the cursor in the RED IDoc entroes in tRFC
queue thats under outbound processing and click on display the IDOC which is on the menu bar.
Step 2: In the next screen click on Display tRFC calls (will take you to SM58 particular TRFC call)
place the cursor on the particular Transaction ID and go to EDIT in the menu bar --> press 'Execute LUW'
(Display tRFC calls (will take you to SM58 particular TRFC call) ---> select the TrasnID ---> EDIT ---> Execute LUW)
Rather than going to SM58 and executing LUW directly it is safer to go through BD87 giving the IDOC name as it will take you
to the particular TRFC request for that Idoc.
OR
Go into the JOB Overview of the Load there you should be able to find the Data Package ID.
(For this in RSMO Screen> Environment> there is a option for Job overview.)
This Data Package TID is Transaction ID in SM58.
OR
SM58 > Give * / user name or background (Aleremote) user name and execute.It will show you all the pending TRFC with
Transaction ID.
In the Status Text column you can see two status
Transation Recorded and Transaction Executing
Don't disturb, if the status is second one Transaction Executing. If the status is first one (Transation Recorded) manually
execute the "Execute LUWs"
OR
Directly go to SM58 > Give * / user name or background (Aleremote) user name and execute. It will show TRFCs to be executed
for that user. Find the particular TRFC (SM37 > Req name > TID from data packet with sysfail).select the TrasnID (SM58) --->
EDIT ---> Execute LUW
(from JituK)
Hope it helps
