Master data delete -- long time ?

Hello BW Experts,
I am deleting the master data without SIDS. It has around 2M records (delete all data ). I thought it is going to drop the Ptable. But it is taking hrs and hrs to delete the Ptable.
-- 1) Wondering if this is normal.
-- 2) What process does it follow to delete the master data with SIDS..
Suggestions appreciated.
Thanks,
BWer

Hi BWer,
The more attributes, especially time-dependent and/or navigation, the more tables should be accessed simultaneously during deletion:
P - time-independent
Q - time-dependent
X - navigation time-independent
Y - navigation time-dependent
Best regards,
Eugene

Master data taking Long time in Query Execution

hello Experts
I have an issue while executing a query.
The input parameter for the query is the 0customer variable in which when I try to select the value from the tab Select From the List & goes for single value option or any other option then goes for long time loading the values & then come out with a short dump.
I want to know why this is happening.
Please help me out from this.
Thanks in advance
Neha

Thanks to All
I have checked the info Object - 0Customer.
The following settings are there in Bex Explorer tab ::
Query Def. Filter Value Selection - Values in Master Data Table
Query Execution Filter Val. Selectn - Only Posted Values for navigation
Also the Value for display in the object are only 1000. This takes time only in analyzer not in designer.
What I have to do, plz suggest
Thanks

Slave instance can not synchronized with the master for a long time

Hi,
Slave instance can not synchronized with the master for a long time, and the gap of LSNs between slave and master are more and more larger. The transfer bytes per second between master and slave is 118MB/s , upper limit to the ethernet card. Why???
ENVIRONMENT:
1. A network program which we called mcdb is based on BDB 4.8.30. It is used to accept get/set requests and then query data from bdb or save data to bdb.
2. mcdb implements replication with bdb replication manager api. The default start replication policy is DB_REP_ELECTION, rep ack policy is DB_REPMGR_ACKS_ONE_PEER and rep priority is 100.
3. The bdb data files, bdb log files, region files and rep files are all in the same home directory.
4. There are two instances of the mcdb are separately on two standalone servers which has no other programs. These two instances are in one replication group which can elect a master automatically.
5. The master instance is online, which has lots of requests (get, set, delete).
ACTIONS:
1. Start two mcdb instances on two servers and the two instance make a replication group. Slave has already synchronized with the master.
2. Stop the slave for a long time (more than 20 hours).
3. Start the slave instance to synchronize data with master.
RESULT:
1. the gap of LSNs between slave and master are more and more larger.
2. db_stat of master and slave:
master db_stat:

Hi,
Unfortunately, this issue is beyond the level of what is supported over the forum. Performance related issues are extremely complex and require an in-depth understanding of your environment and dedicated support. In a generic sense, you can look at this as a basic queueing problem. You have a server that went down and work is still coming in. When the server gets started it is possible that it may never catch up depending on new work coming in and the rate at processing the old work.
So what would you do in this case --- one thing would be to reduce the new work coming in. In HA terms this would be slowing the master down and you can increase DB_REP_ACK_TIMEOUT for this. Another thing you could do is add fresh servers to help reduce the workload. In HA terms, this would be the equivalent of restarting the client and give it a fresh look at everything. Another thing you could do is replan the system and load balance. In HA terms, it would mean something like take a hot backup of the master and reinit a client from scratch.
If you are interested in getting a dedicated support person working on this concern, please let me know and we can move forward down that path. Just respond to the thread with your email address and I will get in contact with you so we can pursue that approach.
thanks

Master Data deletion and data load

Hi,
In a process chain, Master data of my InfoObject are deleted then reloaded.
My InfoObject is used in cubes and ODS that are loaded later in full or delta.
My question is: what happens if thoses cubes and ODS are loaded when Master data of my InfoObject are blank (=Process chain failure / Master Data of my InfoObject are deleted but not loaded) ?
Thanks for your answers.

hi eric
you cant delete the master data , till the time it exits in any of the data target ( cube or ODS).
Now lets say you have new record for master data coming in say , example new material being introduced.
The cube or ODS will take that new mateiral from the transactional data , and to maintain the corresponding the master data when ever it is loaded successfully it will reflect in your reports provided you have maintain/hierarchy attribute change job scheduled.
Thanks & Regards,
Monika

Issue with master data deletion

Hi,
In one of our report, there is a filter option on country.The help values on this filters shows some country codes along with country Text values.These codes were once used before the codes with text were maintained.We dont want these codes to appear in the selection options.
Filter looks like this :
AE
AZ
Austria
Australia
B
Belgium
Now, once the texts were maintained, we deleted the data from cube and reloaded it however, the filter option still shows those codes.
I checked in the cube entries and these codes are no where used.
These codes are however, still lying in the dimension table.
how can we get rid of these country codes in the selection option.
Query already have option of having only posted values in Infoprovider as selection input.
I hav tried RSRV elementary test "Entries not used in dimension table" n this didnt work.
Any clue ?
Regards,
Tapish

Dbl click 0COUNTRY infoobject, under 'Business Explorer' tab, select Only Values in InfoProvider' for 'Query Def Filter Value selection' & 'Query Execution Filter Value selection'. See whether this works.

Master Data Deletion

Hello Experts,
I know this is not a new topic to be posted in forum as we can find lots of threads on the same. But i tried different ways and could not succeed and so there is no other way except to post what i did and get suggestions from you all. Any help will be greatly appreciated and rewarded.
Now coming to the scenario where i am in: There are two invalid master data values in SID table (no attributes for this, => SID and value). I tried deleting the two values
1. using functional module RSDDCVER_USAGE_MDATA_BY_SID. But this resulted in short dumps with messsage INVALID TAB NAME
2. using program RSDMD_DEL_MASTER_DATA: Though i could delete values in development in few seconds, this program took more than 3hrs and did not complete. When i checked the process in SM66, it was deleting unused dimension Ids in other dimension of infocube in which this object is being used.
3. i could not try "maintain master data" of infoobject from RSA1 since i dont have authorization to do it.
i think the only way is to delete using a custom program. Any thoughts, any experiences please share and do let me know in case of any details.
thanks,
Madhav

Hi Madhav,
I don't have a specific answer for you, but I had a similar problem with master data deletion. It was with 0Vendor and I just wanted to delete all the unused entries, but running the RSDMD_DEL_MASTER_DATA program would always give a short dump. Same think if I tried to delete using the Delete Master Data button on InfoObject.
Applying the latest SPs worked for me. We are on BW 3.5 (NW2004), SP 18.
Good Luck.
Dave

Master Data Deletion using ABAP

Does anybody have an idea of which function is called when master data is deleted?
I would like to automate master data deletion
Any suggestion is welcome!
Thanks
Ioan

Hi Ioan !
Try to look at the FM 'RSDMD_DEL_MASTER_DATA'(in the pgm LRSDMDU12)...but pay attention to the other elements that the system certainly checks in order to complete this type of process !
Bye,

"master data deletion for requisition" before master data loading

Hello Gurus,
in our bw syetem , for process chains for loading master infoobjects, all include "u201C master data deletion for requisition" ABAP
process except for one process chain. my question is:
why that process chain for master data loading is different from others as for lacking "master data deletion for requisition" in it?
so it does not matter if you include " master data deletion for requisition" ABAP process in process chain for master data loading ?
Many thank.

Hi,
ABAP Process means some ABAP program is being executed in this particular step.
It's possible that for all of your process chains except for that one requirement was to do some ABAP program processing.
You can check which program is executed by following below process:
Open your process chain in planning view -> Double click on that particular ABAP process -> Here you can see program name as well as program variant.
Hope this helps!

Nilima

Master Data Deletion - Data used in query

Hi all,
I work with BI 7. I noticed a strange thing. I wanted to delete data from a master data object, but the operation is not allowed. If I see the logs for "where used list", I see a query. I deleted data from DSO objects and infocubes, and I thought it was enough.
Any idea?
Thanks a lot.

Hello Gianluca,
To be able to delete master data, no transaction data must exist for this master data, the master data must no longer be used as attribute value, hierarchies to this master data must not exist, and it must not be used in a query.
If you look at a record in the SID table, you can check the usage flag DATAFL. If the value is X, it is used or has been used by another BW oject.
But to answer your question, do delete the master data, it must no longer be used in a query.
Best Regards,
Vincent

Data Load Error due to Master data deletion

Hi,
While doing the transactional data load I am getting following error.
+Master data/text of characteristic ZFOCUSGRP already deleted Message no RSDMD138 +
ZFOCUSGRP is an InfoObject (with Text). Last week we changed the source system from CRM to R/3 during that time we deleted all the Texts in ZFOCUSGRP manually from the table.
This error is not happening always some time it load properly. I executed the RSRV for InfoObject ZFOCUSGRP and InfoCube still this error happening.
Is there any way to fix this error?
Thanks in advance.
Thanks
Vinod

check this:
Re: Error while running InfoPackage
Master data/text of characteristic 0MATERIAL already deleted
Master data/text of characteristic ZXVY already deleted
Hope it helps..

Master data deletion - text with compounding

HI All,
I have " 0PYMT_METH" Info object which is having "0PYMT_METH_TEXT" Data source. " 0PYMT_METH" Info object is having text and 0country with compounding attribute.
- First , I did not load this master data , I loaded transactional data. so some values for key are loaded without text and country in master data.
- Later i came to know we need text for paymnt method, then i loaded again master data. but i am not able to delete previous entries which have blank text.
-i deleted data with SIDS and deleted all the transactional data , still i am getting that entries with blanks.Because of this in report output i am getting # value for the text.
How to solve this? Is it because of compounding attribute ? If so can u please suggest regarding this ASAP?
Thanks in advance,
Jo

Hi,
Please check the data load for the text as you must be loading
MAster Data CHAR , Country , LANGUAGE and TEXT as fields in your data source.
As the Text can be over written so if the porper key fields are matched the text should be modifyed everytime.
SO please check what combination you r loading .
ANyway if that is one time , and very less data you can manually maintain th text for master data .
In order to delete teh data you use SE14 use the text table there to delete the data. PS : This is not recommended solution .

Master data deletion - Issues

Hi Experts,
0WBS_ELEMT info object data was populated through 3.x transformation, my client has loaded 400+ incorrect data which appear now when selecting the master data during reporting. At this stage not intending to delete entire data set as the volume is huge, In parallel there is a process chain run happens. Following are the issues:
1. Deletion of one record takes nearly 15 minutes.
2. Used the program RSDMDD_DELETE_BATCH which will delete the data selectively.
3. Timeout errors occurred due to wp_run time was set 600 seconds --> Basis to increase the time.
Please advise is there any other way we can easily delete the erroneous data without impacting the system in large?
Kind regards,
Las.

Hi,
check the with the your source team modify the in source side.
before deleting the master data first delete the transaction data with reference master data.
be aware the deleting the master data.
please look at the doc it will help.

Master Data Deletion in parallel

Hi,
We have a lot of unused master data for company code char. I tried deleting the unused master data with the program RSDMD_DEL_BACKGROUND. But this program takes too long to run. I let it run for almost 2 days but it doesn't terminate.
It just keeps on running without any result.
Right now I am confused as to why the program takes so long if we have only 1900 entried in the SID table. We have fairly large amount of transaction data. (Total database of 4TB)
SAP has a note 1132444 where they have acknowledged this and have released a newer program RSDMD_DEL_PARALLELIZER. My question is, is it safe to run this program, if our SID table contain only about 1900 entries? Because i think this one mainly deals with the memory overflow caused by large SID table.
Any advise on how to proceed here?
Thanks a lot.
Br,
RMP

Here is what I'm following to delete unused company codes (say 0001)
From maintain master of 0COMP_CODE, select only 0001 data and select all rows and delete (icon)... Since this master data is part of transaction data, a message prompts 'all master data cannot be deleted'.. Now check log SLG1
1). If the log (SLG1)says, SID exists in DIM table (like /BI0/D0FIGL_C011).
First delete (selective) that company code (0001) from cube (0FIGL_C01).. Then
Use Tcode RSRV  Tests in Transaction RSRV  All Elementary Tests  Transaction Data  Entries Not Used in the dimension of an InfoCube (Dbl Click)
From the right side window, expand u201CEntries Not Used in the Dimension of an InfoCubeu201D Node &
Enter InfoCube (like 0FIGL_C01), click u201CTransferu201D
Now, click u201CExecuteu201D (Toolbar)u2026 and the results displayed in the right side window..
Now, click u201CCorrect erroru201D (Toolbar)
Now, try to delete same 0COMP_CODE (0001), and if the log says SID used in some other DIM table, follow the above process.
2). If the log says, the SID used in DSO/Cube,
then goto manage (of DSO/Cube) and do the selective deletion.
