Problem delete chang log from process chain BW 7.01

We have upgrade BW from 3.5 version to 7.01 version two month ago.
Now I realized that the process chain running one a week to delete PSA and change log don't work well after upgrade.
The process chain end without errors (status is green), but the change log are not deleted.
In the test system I try to delete the Change Log in 2 mode:
1-with the variant "Deletion of Requests from the Change Log " and the datastoreobject = myods and all the option (correct request, incorrect request and "Delete Activation Requests Only"). In the log i see this messagge
The following excluded selections will be processed:
No excluded selections found
The following included selectiosn will be processed:
Pattern: DataStore = 0FIGL_O06, InfoArea = *
The following reqeust selections were set:
Number of days = 0000000010, Successful = X, Incorrect = X, Curr. Requests =
The following change logs were selected:
2-with the variant "Deletion of Requests from PSA " and the datasource= 8myods and all the option (correct request, incorrect request). In the log i see this messagge
The following excluded selections will be processed:
No excluded selections found
The following included selectiosn will be processed:
Pattern: DS = 80FIGL_O06, LS = BWTCLNT100, IS = , AC =
The following reqeust selections were set:
Number of days = 0000000015, Successful = X, Incorrect = X, Load requests =
The following PSAs were selected:
In both case the change log is not deleted.
I can delete the change log only using Manage screen of my ods and then using Menu -> Environment ->Delete Change Log Data.

I see that this topic is still active/unanswered...
We're having the same problem, but not just changelogs, also for PSAs. We have a weekly process chain that does housekeeping on our BW system, cleaning up PSAs and changelogs, compressing cubes, realigning time-dep masterdata and renewing indexes.
The PSA chain runs fine and about 90% of all PSAs get deleted, but there are some datasources (all of them are of type 8* datamart datasources) that don't get their PSAs deleted. It says "The following PSAs were selected:" and then nothing happens...
I tried all tickbox combinations and checked that there are no PSA entries blocked by invalid partitions. Manual deletion (via "manage" in the datasource) works fine, but is tedious and time consuming.
Also, most of the 8* datasource PSAs do get deleted. Just a handful (+/- 25) get skipped somehow.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Eduard
PS: We're still running 3.5-style backend dataflow, but will eventually get converted to transformations and DTPs. But that's not on our agenda (yet).

Delete change log

HI BI Expert,
I have got the requirement to delete change log using process chain. I have included the Objecty Type callled Change Log Table and DSO as object name and finally included this process after activating data on DSO process. Whenever, I scheduled the process chain or ran it immediately as well in order to delete change log. But this process does not seem to be working at all. The number of records on change log table is the same as before.
The process chain is as follows;
1. Variant
2. load data to PSA and then DSO
3. Delete PSA data (older than 30 day)
4. Activate DSO Data
5. Delete Change Log (older than 30 day)
Please kindly suggest me what I need to do to make this process working.
Thanks for your help.

hi,
hope u can include all the PSA and change log deletion in different chain and try to trigger the chain weekly, since if u do as in ur chain and if u miss any records and you have to disturb the source again.
try to delete the change log manually and chk if working.

How to delete Change log data from a DSO?

Hello Experts,
I am trying to delete the change log data for a DSO which has some 80 Cr records in it.
I am trying to follow the standard procedure by using the process chain variant and giving the no.of days but somehow data is not getting deleted.
However the process chain is completing successfully with G state.
Please let me know if there are any other ways to delete the data.
Thanks in Advance.
Thanks & Regards,
Anil.

Hi,
Then there might something wrong at your Chang log deletion variant.
can you recreate changlog deletion variants and set them again.
Ty to check below settings with new variant.
Red mark - won't select
Provide dso name and info area, older than and select blue mark.
blue mark - it will delete only successfully loaded request which are older than N days.
Have you tested this process type changlog deletion before moving to prod per your data flow?
Thanks

Deleting Request Automatically in Process Chains

Hi
I have two scenario's..
1. Data sources e.g. 0CO_OM_OPA_1, 0CO_OM_CCA_1 and 0CO_OM_WBS_1, it supports ONLY FULL data extraction process.. So, while extracting data, I want to delete the PSA request automatically, to have not more than 2 request, and the rest should be automatically deleted. Also, the Request needs to be deleted from DSO as well. How to delete the change log..
2. If a data source which supports DELTA process, what is the best practices to Delete data from PSA, DSO and cube???
3. what are the some of the routines jobs that needs to run to maintain BI system more effeciently ?
Thanks in advance

Hi.........
Delete PSA request will not delete Change Log table...............If u r in BI 7.0.then there is one process type : Delete Change log request..........this will delete Change log table.........but in BW 3.5.......there is no such Process types.........
Anyways.............if u r doing Data Marting..........then if u delete PSA table then Change log will get deleted..............since in this case PSA table is nothing but the Change log table.........
2. If a data source which supports DELTA process, what is the best practices to Delete data from PSA, DSO and cube???
Suppose U hav many process chains loading different targets...........then create a seperate chain for PSA deletion............include change log deletion also there.........completeion of the daily loads.........execute that chain..............but don't delete recent requests from PSA and change log both............delete old request.....like older than 10 days..............otherwise suppose any error occur............u cannot reload the request...........For change log.u cannot do delta............for foir pSA again u hav to do extraction........

Debjani......

Issue with ABAP program execution from process chains

Hi All:
We have a process chain with 3 steps, each of them executing the same program with three different variants. The program is ftp's the file from APO's dataexchange (mount) to another ftp server. The first variant transfers file A to a directory in the external ftp server (say /X) . The second and the third variants are supposed to transfer different files, B and C to the same directory.
That is where the problem is. After the process chain is successful, I see two files B and C but the contents are same and that of C. So, if I switch the steps in the PC to bring in A then C and then B, I see files B and C with content of C. I tried C then A then B. I see the file names correct but now the contents are A, A then B.
Have any of you come across this issue? Do you know that these is an existing problem? IF you have a solution, pl. let me know.
Thanks
Narayanan

Narayanan,
Instead of doing it in three steps - would it be possible for you to have one UNIX script or equivalent doing the above and calling the same from your process chain ...?
We do a lot of FTPs but then our file names are standard and we have a UNIX script for the same executed using a system command through a process chain and it has been working without issues for the past 1 year ...
Maybe I have not got your situation properly ... some more detail on the program details and what you are doing in more detail would help.... also SP levels please..

Problem with a stuck yellow process chain

Hi all,
I have a problem with a stuck yellow process chain.
A Meta chain calling a sub chain. The sub chain loads some master data.
Some months ago one process stopped in yellow, no processes still running.
So after that day when the meta chain runs the error msg is as follows
Diagnosis
The previous run of the current subchain, BW_METADATA_MD_ST , is not yet
     complete. This leads to communication errors with the metachain called,
     BW_METADATA_MD .
System response
The current run of the metachain is cancelled.
Procedure
1. End the previous run of the subchain, or wait until the run is
         complete.
         It does not matter whether the run was successfully completed or
         not.
2. Restart the metachain.
How do I end the previous run of the subchain?
There is no process running, just want to set the flag to ended.
Thanks in advance.

How to automate selective deletion of ods in process chain

Hi,
How can we automate selective deletion of ods in Process chain. I tried with the proceedure. Using T-code "delete_fact" I gave selection parameters and Name of the program and saved this as variant and gave the same program and variant in Process cahin. But it is not deleting data. So plz guide me whether I have missed anything in this proceedure.

Hi purushottam,
you have to give to program variants in the process chain for data deletion to take place. in the first program variant include the rsdrd_delete_facts as program name and in the program variant give a variant for your infoprovider selection.
Now again select another program variant and include the name of the program which you get after selecting the infoprovider name and the generate selection program option in the "program for deleting selected entries from the data target" screen " and press execute.
again give another variant for your field selection.
now try execute the process chain.

Delete change log data

I was going through posts regarding delete change-log data but I am bit confused with the answers.My data is moving from ODS to CUBE and for the performance reasons I want to delete Change-log data from PSA and keep only 3 day requests.My question - if I delete Change-log whether it effects the delta data from ODS to CUBE.Change-log maintains images so If I keep only 3 requests there will be images of only those 3 request data.If this happens then it will effect all the delta data going into CUBE
Let me know your suggessions
Rgs,

Hi,
     Yes, you can delete the data from the Change Log unless until you do not need to re-construct the data again from the change log table.
     As a good principle for safety reasons if data is not too large, you can keep the data for 7days. This will ensure us to be safe. If something went wrong on week-end say 2 days were gone and on 3rd day the user has identified and raised a ticket on this. Forth day will be for analyzing and re-construction.
    So, unless until if the data is not too large, you can keep it for 7 days in the Change log table and the rest you can delete. As said by the other members, deletion of Change Log table does not affect the delta as it compares with the Active Table and creates a Before Image and After Images records and updates in the Change Log Table.

Can we call Function Module from Process Chain?

Hello experts,
I have a small question.
Can we call Function Module(SE37) from Process Chain?
If yes can you please provide some example link?
I m new to BI world.
regards

Hi,
Create one ABAP program and call the function module from that program. Check the link to know how to call a function module from an ABAP program.
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_wp/helpdata/en/d1/801edb454211d189710000e8322d00/content.htm
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_wp/helpdata/en/9f/db98ef35c111d1829f0000e829fbfe/content.htm
Then use process type "ABAP Program" in your process chain and add the program you have created. So then this program will be executed via process chain and this program will call the function module.

Alerts from Process chain to mobile

Hi Experts,
Can any one explain the pre-requisites for getting alerts to mobile from a process chain? We are working in a production environment BW3.5 where we are getting mails for failure or success from Process chain. Now we want to implement the SMS to mobile from Process chain.
Please give the pre-requisites. Surely points will be awarded.
Advance Thanks.

Calling r/3 program from process chain

Hi
I did the following steps to call r3 program from process chain :
Steps in R/3 system
1. Created a program which needs to be called from bw and at the end of the program i have calling 'RSPC_ABAP_FINISH' function module & passing the rfc id of bw system and bw process variant.
2. created a even in r/3 (please note that this is not there in bw)
3. Created a job and under start condiion selected 'after event' and mentioned the event created earlier. And under step1 enter the abap program to be executed
Steps in BW system :
1. Created a process chain
2. inserted a process type 'abap program' and selected the call mode 'Asynchronous' and under destination entered the RFC destination of R/3 system. Under scheduled program enterd the event name created in R/3
after executing above process chain, the abap program node is becoming green but the abap program is not getting executed in r/3 system. And also the process after the program node in process chain is not getting executed. The job which was created in r/3 still showing the released status
Kindly advice where i am wrong.
Thanks

Including an Event Data Change in a Process Chain

There is a step called "_Execution with Data Change in InfoProvider_" in the process of including event data change in a process chain.
How do we carryout this? should this be done in Bex or in process chain itself?

Dear Eshwari,
1) To get the 'Execution on data change' option, you need to have aprocess chain with the 'Event data
change' process type which contains 'the infoprovider' (The infoprovider, over which the query is created
which you are trying to broadcast) in the process variant of it.
2) Further more, additional authorization is also needed in order for the user to see such scheduling options in broadcaster.
Please assign this authorization object to the affected users.
BEx Broadcasting Authorization to Schedule S_RS_BCS
     Activity                       *
     Event ID in Broadcasting Frame *
     Event Type in Broadcasting Fra <== Here you should select*
     ID of a BI Reporting Object in *
     Type of BI Reporting Object in *
3) Please also ensure the user has not only the Busines Explorer role but also Business Intelligence role in Portal,
