Is there a way to create a transport to mass-delete objects from another system?

I am facing a unique issue where I have to generate a transport that will successfully import into an external SAP system and delete over 1,000 objects (reports, data elements, UI elements, transactions, function groups, the whole lot...). All of these objects can be easily looked up because they are in the same namespace.
Essentially, I need to remove all objects with a given namespace via transport.
Is there any way to do this other than manually deleting all of the objects in the source system and adding them tediously to a single workbench request? This would take hours if not days to do manually, especially due to dependency issues.
Thanks for any and all constructive feedback!

Hi,
I did a quick test: created a new package (development class) with one table, one function group using the table in global data definitions containing one function module referring to the table in interface, and one program that's calling the function module and using table in data definitions. Released the transport to Q.
Then, in the second our dev system, I created the same package and TADIRs for the three objects manually (SM30); released transport to Q of that system. Then I manually created transport containing all the three objects, the export log looked like this:
TADIRs in second dev system were gone after export.
Then I added transport to the first development system and imported
- the objects were gone (including their TADIRs) leaving the empty package.
In retrospect, I should have deleted the empty package in second system so it's cleaned up by the same transport.
If you do have access to "clean" system, doing via ABAP the steps I did manually should not be too much of a challenge.
I may have simply gotten lucky and if this works with all objects, for all kinds of dependencies, remains to be seen... though I was until now under impression that import itself doesn't check any dependencies at all... What kind of messages were you getting?
cheers

  • Is there a way to refer library present in one web application from another

    Hi All,
    I have two web applications deployed in same server. I have a common library for both web applications so i dont want to duplicate it by putting it in WEB-INF\lib of two web applications.
    Is there a way to make it avialble for both application by maintaing the library in one place?
    Thanks,
    Kishore

    You could put it in the common area of your application server, whatever it is. But if it were me, I would just put one copy of the library in each web application. Less scope for classloader problems that way.

  • Is there a way to create a pdf that preserves all links from the origional document?

    Hi,
    I have a new, rather large, pdf document I need to create. After discovering that adobe will not reliably convert hyperlinks from an office document, I need a new strategy. Does anyone know of a program, other than office, that adobe will reliably convert the links in the origional document into links in the pdf? Or is there a different way to do this, other than adding links in adobe after I create the pdf?
    I have Windows 7, Office 2007, Acrobat Pro X, and IE 8 (I know... it's a work laptop)

  • Is there a way to create either a flash video or wmv from Keynote?

    I have a file that I am sending out to a group who are Windows users, and have included effects and audio. There is a good chance that none of them have quicktime and I do not want them to need to download it. Can I somehow create a flash video or other format that will play the presentation and not reformat out the effects, transitions and audio?
    Thanks!

    You might check these guys out...
    www.sorensonmedia.com They have a product called Squeeze for Flash, that converts any Video format into .swf or flv... And they have Demo's so you can try out their software before you buy... so try that...
    Also, you can try importing the .MOV into your FLV directly (either to library or to stage) and export as a .swf and see if it works (in theory it should work without any "coding", simply import the mov into a new Flash Document and export MOVIE (.swf)... Then open the swf and see what happens...

  • Is there a way to create a batch export of pages docs from iCloud?

    I have been using Pages pretty much exclusively for the past couple of years. The new, crippled version has put an end to that.  But I have about 1000 docs in iCloud that I need to get out of iCloud an onto to some usable platform like Goggle Docs (which does seem to keep improving, unlike iWork). I suspect that Automator or Applescript may be able to do this, but I'd appreciate any pointers.

    If you synchronize Notes with iCloud, open the iCloud preference pane and uncheck the box marked Notes. If you sync Notes with another mail service, disable that in the Internet Accounts or Mail, Contacts & Calendars preference pane. You may be warned that notes stored on the server will be deleted. If you trust your backups, confirm. Leave the window open.
    Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
    ~/Library/Containers/com.apple.Notes
    Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
    Services ▹ Reveal in Finder (or just Reveal)
    from the contextual menu.* A folder should open with an item named "com.apple.Notes" selected. Quit the application if it's running. Move the selected item to the Trash, then restore it from a backup that predates the unwanted change. If you back up with Time Machine, enter it and select the snapshot from which you want to restore.
    Log out or restart and empty the Trash.
    Re-enable synchronization in System Preferences, if you disabled it.
    *If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. In the Finder, select
    Go ▹ Go to Folder...
    from the menu bar and paste into the box that opens by pressing command-V. You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.

  • Export or transport all the RFC destination from one system to another syst

    Hi
    Is there any method to Export or transport all the RFC destination from one system to another system

    Hi,
    the information is stored in table rfcdes.But there are also some other RFC*-tables which have some relations. Nevertheless the RFC-connectons will possibly not work anymore  in the new system(depending on the release your systems are), as the passwords are stored in the Sec store with system-dependent keys.

  • Is there a way to create a local package repository

    Is there a way to create a local package repository without technically being a mirror.  For example, setting up multiple AL box's on my network and having them grab all the latest packages from one AL box?
    Thanks,
    Craig

    What you most likely want is an ABS tree of your own, containing only the PKGBUILDs of those packages which you want to be included in your repository.
    You should already have heard of the gensync program. In short, the parameters are the root of PKGBUILDs, sorted in subdirectories (ie. like the ABS tree), the intented name and location of the repository database file, and the directory containing the binary packages.
    Let's assume you downloaded the current ABS tree to your hard drive, as well as all matching (same version as in the PKGBUILDs!) packages from a mirror, but you don't want the reiserfsprogs package in your repository. To achieve that, you must remove the /var/abs/base/reiserfsprogs directory, and may optionally remove the binary package, too. Since gensync analyzes the ABS tree you supplied as a parameter, removing the subdirectory of a specific package will cause this very package to not be included in the generated database. Assuming your packages lie in /home/arch/i686/current, your gensync call would look like this:
    gensync /var/abs /home/arch/i686/current/current.db.tar.gz /home/arch/i686/current
    If there are any discrepancies like
      - PKGBUILD, but no matching binary package found
      - PKGBUILD and binary package versions do not match
      - permission problems (writing the db file must be possible)
    gensync will gladly complain.
    Otherwise you should find the db file in the place you specified. Keep in mind that the name of the db.tar.gz file must be equal to the repository tag in the pacman.conf to use the repo.
    To make sure the db contains the right packages; use
    tar -tzf current.db.tar.gz | less
    to list the contents. Every package has it's own subdirectory including the metadata, which is rather obvious considering the file's generated from such a structure in the first place.
    The binary packages along with a correctly generated db file are all you need. Make the repository directory containing these files available through FTP if local availability doesn't cut it for you, edit your pacman.conf if needed, and use it!
    Adding packages works similar; All you need to have is the PKGBUILD in an ABS-like tree (it doesn't have to be the official tree; gensync doesn't care where the files come from. Just stick to one subdirectory per PKGBUILD, and you'll be fine), and the matching packages somewhere else, run gensync with the appropriate directories, and cackle with glee.
    HTH.

  • Is there a way to create a collection based on the "previous import"?

    is there a way to create a collection based on the "previous import"? that would make it easy to mobile sync the last import to my ipad, and do further picking/rejecting while away from my laptop.

    well, yes, of course i could do it that way. i guess i wasn't specific enough. is there a way to create a smart collection, with the photos in the "previous import" as members of the smart collection.  earlier i mentioned about using this smart collection to mobile sync with my ipad, to do further flagging.
    so my intention, use a smart collection to mobile sync with my ipad, and the smart collection to include the photos from my previous import.
    i guess another way to ask the question, is there a way to create a smart collection, by using some rule or condition in the smart collection, to automatically include previous import photos.
    the documentation says that "previous import" is a collection, even though it shows up in the catalogue side bar section. but i see no way to choose that collection when making a smart collection.

  • Is there a way to create three different physical calendars in ical so that I can get a fiscal view of the calendars?

    Is there a way to create three physically different calendars in iCal so that I can view the calendar and events from a fical point of view?

    iCal just shows the calendars you have created in your account(s).  So if you are using iCloud just log into your iCloud account in a web browser and make as many new calendars as you wish to have.  Then enable those in iCal.
    If you use Google accounts or something else for the calendars, then create them as needed, and enable them in iCal.
    I have several separate calendars all displayed in iCal - a couple linked through my Gmail accounts, and one through my iCloud account.  Each uses a different default item color so they are distinct in iCal.

    I am hoping to create a button that people viewing my discs on a computer can click on the link and their web browser will pop up and take them to a website.
    Any help is appreciated.

    dvd@ccess questions are being asked once a week on this forum, so I'll repeat why it's useless:
    - Mac users have to enable the feature in the preferences of DVD Player in order to for the links to work.
    - PC users have to install a small application on their PC, and they have to reboot the PC in order for the links to work.
    - On top of this, it's still unreliable, and may not work on some computers.
    It's a dog: Don't use it.
