Hi,
you cant delete the master data if its being used by any infoproviders or by a query by including or excluding a value of material. Make sure to delete the master data from all the places then only the system would allow to change the char. I know its pain. backdoor approach, create a ABAP program to delete all the data in the related master data tables S/P/X
If you have deleted the master data and still not able to change the conversion, activate the object.
During activation you will get a screen to repair and click that and it will be activated.
But make sure, you delete all the data in the info provider that uses this obj
Assign points if helpful

  • How do I reclaim the unused space after a huge data delete- very urgent

    Hello all,
    How do I reclaim the unused space after a huge data delete?
    alter table "ODB"."BLOB_TABLE" shrink space; This couldn't execute with ora 10662 error. Could you please help

    'Shrink space' has requirements:
    shrink_clause
    The shrink clause lets you manually shrink space in a table, index-organized table or its overflow segment, index, partition, subpartition, LOB segment, materialized view, or materialized view log. This clause is valid only for segments in tablespaces with automatic segment management. By default, Oracle Database compacts the segment, adjusts the high water mark, and releases the recuperated space immediately.
    Compacting the segment requires row movement. Therefore, you must enable row movement for the object you want to shrink before specifying this clause. Further, if your application has any rowid-based triggers, you should disable them before issuing this clause.

  • 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.

  • 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!

  • 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 .

    Usage Notes
    If the input data or key given to the DES3DECRYPT procedure is empty, then the procedure raises the error ORA-28231 "Invalid input to Obfuscation toolkit."
    If the input data given to the DES3DECRYPT procedure is not a multiple of 8 bytes, the procedure raises the error ORA-28232 "Invalid input size for Obfuscation toolkit." ORA-28233 is NOT applicable for the DES3DECRYPT function.
    If the key length is missing or is less than 8 bytes, then the procedure raises the error ORA-28234 "Key length too short." Note that if larger keys are used, extra bytes are ignored. So a 9-byte key will not generate an exception.

  • ODS request  not able to delete very urgent

    Hi All,
    I am loading the data  from r/3 system to bw (bi 7.0), the objct is Obpartner master data loading into this data targets are 0bp_o01, 0bpartner. there is no further loads.
    while loading the delta load i am getting error message like " last delta not updated, repeat the last delta' .while i am checking in the monitor scree the request it's showing red , but in the data targets the request are showing green colour.
    Note - i tried to chnge the status from green to red but it's not allwoing to change the status because " the requeest is partially activated u can't chage the status".
    in the data targets i am trying to delete the the request but i am not able to delete the request, while selected request only for deletion it's asking for rollback.if u click on continue rollback  all request will be going to delete.
    please advise me is there any way to delete the request , i will assign the full points for right answer.
    hi all,
    there is no further loads , while i am trying to change
    it's giving message like " the request is partially activated u con't update".

    that one  in se16 we can give the rsodsactreq. is it possible to delete the request here....
    please advise if anybody knows.......

    Hi ,
    This should work ..
    The request cannot be deleted in the administration of the data target, make sure that there is no data in the activation queue of the ODS for this request. If there is data nevertheless, make sure that table rsodsactreq contains all entries for this request and ODS in the operation field has the value 'U'.  If this is the case, use transaction SE16 to delete all entries for this request and ODS object from tables rsiccont, rsmonicdp and rsodsactreq. Then set the 'from date' to a value that is older than the oldest loaded request in this ODS in the administration of the data target and choose 'Refresh'. This corrects the administration. The data in the activation queue does not cause a problem, it is deleted the next time all new requests are activated.

  • 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 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.
    Regards,
    Durgesh.
