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.

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 !

"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

Error in 0EMPLOYEE Master Data Load Issue

Hi,
We have 0EMPLOYEE Master Data. Due to our new development changes ralted to 0EMPLOYEE, we have scheduled 2 new info packages with Personnel number range. While creation of infopackages, we forget to main time interval from 01.01.1900 to 31.12.9999. Instead of this, the default range was selected as 24.04.2009 to 31.12.9999. Because of this selection in InfoPackage, the Employee Master Data Valid from date was changed to 24.04.2009 for all the employees in the master data after the data load.
Even after i change this selection properly and loading the data also, its not correcting with correct valid from dates.
Can you please advice, how can we fix this issue ASAP as its a production issue?
Thanks!
Best regards,
Venkata

> Even after i change this selection properly and loading the data also, its not correcting with correct valid from dates.
May be for this you have the ONLY option to delete 0Employee master data and reload it again. For this you need to delete dependent transaction data also.

Sree

Master data deleted dispite it is used in other Cubes

Hello everybody,
I deleted master data by the classic way: right-click on the characteristic --> delete master data --> with sid.
(not with other ways!!!)
Thinking that the system will not delete the master data that is used in Cubes.
I reloaded new master data.
After a complaint from a power user that he cannot make a drill down with this characteristic in one report, i begin to investigate.
Firstly, i tested all the reports where this characteristic is used and all the reports did the same error.
After i went is to display data of one of the infocube where this characteristic is used and when i select this characteristic for the output, nothing returns as result.
After that i checked the values of the characteristic sid's in the cubes and i see that the range of the char sid's in the cube do not correspond to the range of the sid's in the sid table of the characteristic.
In fact, none of the characteristic sid of the cube where present in the sid table of the characteristic.
Why? probably because when i deleted the master data, the system deleted all the records, but why also those that are present in the cube?
When i go to SLG1 and select the correct Object, as message for this deletion: "All entered data was deleted"
Any suggestion, advise is welcome.
Thanks
Regards,

Hi,
The way you have used, I would expect that it will not delete the used master data in other cube. If possible reload your master data but I think this will not resolve your issue as new SID values will get created. Just give a try.

Master Data Deletion in SAP BW

Hi,
We are having HR Master Data in BW - 0EMPLOYEE. User has deleted some of the personel numbers in the source system (SAP HR system) as the contract of the employee was ended.
My problem here is that the Personnel numbers are still existing in SAP BW - 0EMPLOYEE master data. Eventhough when i am trying to delete these un wanted personel numbers in maintain masterdata screen, that are not allowing me to delete as they have used some other placess in Transaction data.
Can you please suggest me, how to delete this specific Master Data in SAP-BW?
Best regards,
Venkata Challapalli.

No need to delete any Master Data
If you want to really delete ,you can do one thing
Right click on Master data Info Object 0EMPLOYEE

And reload Master data for employee with full load
if delta Initilize delta with data transfer

Master data automation issue

Hi ,
I have automated master data which pushes member data from BW infoobject to BPC member sheet. Now i have a requirement to add 300 rows which are constants or fixed members and the constant valuess are available only in first 3 columns ie
ID EVEDESCRIPTION PARENTH1
My issue here is , I have few transformations in transf file which adds a prefix to the company code say for ex :US01 to be added as G_US01 in member sheet. I have constant values at the end of other dimension members and the G_ is shown up in the respective company code column, I wanted to know if we can hardcode in transformation file so that i dont need to manually add these members to master data dimension manually.
I am using IMPORT_IOBJ_MASTER & HIER for loading master data and hierarchy data.
Awaiting your early response. thanks in advance.
Regards,
Sanjeev

Thanks for your response. I think my question confused you.
I did get the prefix members correctly, Apart from the BW info object data i do have few rows of constants which we used to manually add during the file prep process.
Now my question is i have to add few members say 200 rows for the first 3 columns ID , EVEDESCRIPTION and PARENTH1.
for these members i do not want the transformation to be applied. i have maintained these 200 rows in a table and i am calling using a select statement and inserting at the end of the member sheet(after the info object data).
In simple terms i have constants added in the BW info object .
Currently my company code is mentioned in transformation file as below and it works fine for all the members.
HIER_PARENT=*STR(G_)+0COMP_CODE
Fo the last 200 members in the member sheet i dont want to apply this transformation, i want the company code to be left as blank.Please let me know if it is possible.
Regards,
Sanjeev

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

Master data loading issue

Hi gurus,
    Presently i am working on BI 7.0.I have small issue regarding master data loading.
    I have generic data soruce for master data loading.i have to fetch this data to BW side.Always i have to do full data load to the master data object.first time i have scheduled info package and run DTP to load data to master data object, no issues, data got loaded successfully.whenever i run infopacage for second time and run DTP i am getting error saying that duplicated records.
   How can i handle this.
Best Regards
Prasad

Hi Prasad,
Following is happening in your case:
<b>Loading 1st Time:</b>
1. Data loaded to PSA through ipack.It is a full load.
2. data loaded to infoobject through DTP.
<b>Loading 2nd Time:</b>
1. Data is again loaded to PSA. It is a full load.
2. At this point, data in PSA itself is duplicate. So when you are running the DTP, it picks up the data of both the requests that were loaded to PSA. And hence, you are getting the Duplicate record error.
Please clear the PSA after the data is loaded to infoobject.
Assign points if helpful.
Regards,
Tej Trivedi

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

Hope it helps..

Delta enabled master data - Deletion of data sets

Hello,
is it possible to automatically delete a certain data set of a master data bearing InfoObject which is delta enabled ? Does a delta load for master data InfoObjects allow to fully delete a certain data set?
Example:
Delta Master InfoObject: Z_Test
Attributes: Z_Name, Z_Region, ....
Data sets:
(1) 12345, Name1, Region1, ....
(2) 23456, Name2, Region2, .... (this data set should be completely deleted)
(3) 34567, Name3, Region3, ...
Expected result:
(1) 12345
(2) 34567
I just want to know whether the deletion can be performed through a delta data load or not?
Thanks in Advance.
Marco

Hi Marco,
Welcome to SDN!!
You can goto RSA1 -> Info-object -> maintain master data and delete the unwanted records and loads the ones you need. If the no. of records are more then you may need to write an ABAP program. But before all this deletion make sure the master data is not used in any other Data target.

Master Data Load Issue

Hi Experts,
This is regarding an issue with Master Data "DELTA" load.
WBSe master data has below fields
WBSe
Approval Year
Program definition
Program position
Funding Type
ABCD
2014
ZZPA
Z_ABCD
CB
Program Position master data has below fields
Approval Year
Program definition
Program position
Funding Type
2014
ZZPA
Z_ABCD
DC
WBSe master data table has "look up" for program position to populate "funding type" based on Approval Year,Program Definition and Program Position.
The issue is, daily delta load is not getting "recent/new funding type values".
But, If load the same record with program position selection in FULL Load, the new funding type is getting updated.
Please tell me why "funding Type" is not getting updated with new value in DELTA load.
Thanks
Asha

Hi Asha,
In delta mode only new or changed records are loaded to WBSe MD,
and look up will only pick up data if data is loaded from Data Source to WBSe MD.
There are 2 solutions to this :-
1) change WBSe MD to full load, it will take care, as MD is always over written.
2) Enhance this field in Source system, i.e. Data Source enhacement, if you know the Table for look up in source system.
Thanks and Regards,
Amit.
