Process type "Delete overlapping request in cube " in process chain

Hi
can somebody suggest me where i need to place the process type "Delete overlapping request" for an infocube.
Regards,

Hi,
When you use the corresponding process in the process
chain maintenance screens to specify the conditions for
automatic deletion, these conditions are applied to all
the InfoCubes for the selected InfoPackages
Overlapping: If you set this indicator, existing requests are also
delete from the InfoCube if the selection criteria of the new request partially or wholly overlap the selection criteria of the request to be deleted
Same or Comprehensive: If you set this indicator,
requests are only deleted from the InfoCube if
the selection conditions of the new request are
the same as or more comprehensive than the selection
conditions of the request to be deleted.
Thanks

Process Type - Delete overlapping requests from an Info Cube

I have read many threads on this topic, still have some questions. To give you background, I will be doing delta load (delta process chain). But before delta, I want to do setup initialization (init process chain). I want to use this process type in my init process chain to delete all data in my cube loaded from a specific ods. I cannot use delete all contents process type because many odss feed the same cube.
1.     Do you put this process type after Load Data or before Load Data. I have seen both cases in SDN forums.
2.     Variant of this process type is an info package. Does this info package have to be same as in load data step or it can be different.
3.     I want to delete all data in cube which was loaded from my ods. Term overlapping is confusing to me. Will this process type delete all data or not.
Tanks in advance.

Yes, you can do that. Goto RSPC - under process types Load Process and Post Processing, you will see DELETE OVERLAP REQUESTS FROM INFOCUBE option is there.
Select the proper check boxes like same sourcesystem, same datasource etc...
If it is one time deletion, why not do that manually?

Process Maintenance: Delete Overlapping Requests from InfoCube

Hi Experts,
How can I open Process Maintenance: Delete Overlapping Requests from InfoCube Screen? What's T-code? Is that in Process Chain? Please tell me that....
Thanks in advance,

Hi
'Delete overlapping request' is an option(its a process type) in the process chains..
RSPC>Process types>Load Process and post process folder--->Delete overlapping request from the infocube..
here you can have more options like 'source systems are same',and infosources are same etc...

Delete overlapping requests from cube not working in processchain.

In a process chain, 'deletion of overlapping requests from the cube ' step is used.
Before this step a DTP step runs with a full update to load the cube. This process chain is scheduled every day.
Issue is, the process chain failed at the DTP step and after correcting and repeating, the step got executed.
However, the next step after the DTP,'delete overlapping requests from the cube'
gets executed but without deleting the previous day's request.
In the step details a message that 'No request for deletion were found' can be seen.
Then next day when the DTPstep is executed without any problem the 'delete overlapping requests from cube' step is successful
and the previous requests from cube are deleted.
the deletion selections in the step ' delete overlapping request from infocube' is
Delete existing requests
Conditions:
only delete requests from same DTP
Selections
Same or more comprehensive
Because of this issue on a particular day because of the presence of 2 days requests the data is getting aggregated and shown as double in the reports.
Please help.

Hi Archana,
When you delete the bad request from target and before repeating your DTP in PC, make sure the bad request deleted from table RSBKREQUEST also.
If you find the same request in table, first delete the request from table and repeat the DTP in PC.
Now Delete overlapping step should work.
As this is not the permanent solution, please raise an OSS for SAP

Delete overlapping requests in Cube

Dear all,
I need delete the requests uploaded in the previous day when transferring new request into Cube,and the system is BW 7.0,but I use 3.5 data source and infoSource.
The issue is that when I

Tianli,
You can delete the overlapping request in the infocube.
In the infopackage -
> Data Targets -
> Automatic loading of similar/identical requests
You can set the parameter for deleting the overlapping request here.
If you are using process chains, there is a process type available
Load process and post processing-----> Delete overlapping request from infocube.
Can you post your question again as I see it is incomplete..

Data Transfer Process and Delete Overlapping Requests

Hi All,
We are on BW 7.0 (Netweaver 2004s). We are using the new data transfer processing and transformation. We want to use the ability to delete overlapping requests from a cube in a process chain. So lets say we have a full load from an R/3 system with fiscal year 2007 in the selection using an infopackage. It gets loaded to the PSA. From there we execute the data transfer process and load it to the cube. We then execute the delete overlapping requests functionality. My question is, will the DTP know that the infopackage selection was 2007 so it will only delete requests with selections of 2007 and not 2006 from the cube? Basically, is the DTP aware of the selections that were made in the infopackage?
Thanks,
Scott

Hi Everyone,
Figure it out...on a data transfer process you can filter the selection criteria - go to the extraction tab of a DTP and click on the filter icon. Enter your seleciton conditions to pull from the PSA....these seleciton conditions will be used to delete the overlapping requests from the cube.
Thanks

Problem while deleting overlaping request from cube

Hi experts,
I have one process chain in which i have one step where i am executing one DTP to load one cube and in next step deleing overlapping requests from same cube.
i am getting error at that step "Error when deleting requests for comparison request DTPR_4CCDXZLK1OIGCVGGE1PP31Z3Y"
what could be reason?
plz help

Hello,
I guess you have not defined the overlapping variant properly.
Please goto the definition of the variant and check for the right DTP input.
Then at the bottom, select second option "Edit all Infocubes with Following Delete Selections"
Click on deletion selections -> select delete existing requests.
Also select if same datasource and source system. and importantly select the radio button as overlapping.
Then save the variant. and try to use it.

Delete Overlapping Request

Hi All,
I am trying to use the process type Delete Overlapping Requests from cube in Process chain after loading the data from the Infopack full load and DTP Delta . With the infopackage selection in process type the message after execution is no overlapping request found.
Deletion selection I used is Full or Init loads, Same Datasource. and Selection are same or more comprehensive.
And in the infopackage I dont have any selections.
Please help me to solve this error.
Regards
PV

C i'll explain our scenario..
there was data loaded from 2 data sources to one cube thru 2 dtp's from 2 DS's in process chain...
Soon after the 2 DTP steps, delete overlapping request step is defined from both the ends.in chain...in whcih variant is
object type: the same DTP and its name which loads from PSA to cube.
radio button selected as: edit all infocubes with following delete selections.
selections: delete existing request under which Only delete request from the same DTP.
same or cmprehensive.
the other variant is defined as the same but with another DTP name in object type..
the Output of the cube will be only latest(current day) requests..

Delete overlaping requests doesnt work with delta

Hello
I need to delete previous request delivered by delta DTP. Process type "Delete overlaping requests from cube" doesnt allow to select delta DTP.
Is it only for full load DTP?
Alex

Hi ,
Delete Overlapping request from cube works only for full loads.
Also if you have any such query regarding DTP functionality please reger this article

Duplicate records: Process : Delete Overlapping Requests from InfoCube

Hi Experts,
We are loading data in standard costing cube with standard available option Full upload. In our process chain we have included process type "Delete Overlapping Requests from InfoCube". In our scenario we always load yesterday and today's data. In this case after loading yesterday's data, we need to check and delete the overlapping requests and then upload todays data.
Many a times this deletion process is failing due to message "Couldn't lock cube" because it is already locked by user "ALEREMOTE". This cause system to duplicate the records in cube.
How we can avoid this?
Alok

I tried running again and it again failed. Checked in SM12 and found this entry
800 ALEREMOTE 08/14/2007 E RSENQ_PROT_ENQ CREA_INDX ZCCA_C11 DATATARGET CREA_INDX ###################################### 0 1
This locked is not released since 14th. Is there way to remove the lock using some process.

Delete Overlapping Request from InfoCube.

Hello,
I am using process Type "Delete Overlapping Request from infocube" in this I am selecting object type as a "DTP"
Under "Delete Selection" I am selecting following
1. Only Delete Requests from same DTP
2. Only Delete Full DTP request
3. Only Delete DTP Requests from Same Source
I am using "Full Load" in my DTP.
My requirements are like I need to delete old data and load new data every day in to a cube for that I am using this process type.
If anybody have better solution please let me know.
Thanks,

Also
I am not deleting Index OR Not creating Indexs while using process type "Deleting overlapping request InfoCube"
what will be the impact on the cube?
How many index will have infocube?
If the cube having more than one index if i delete index, which index will be deleted?
Thanks,

Delete overlapping requests identification

Hi guys,
In my Process chain, after a daily full load delete overlapping requests (as part of pc) is setup. How do I identify if something was deleted. The Data Target is a Infocube.

zsl05,
There are two ways you can do the delete overlapping request.
1. In the info package, under the Data Targets tab, the sixth colum if you clcik that push button against the info provider, you will see a pop up saying ''Deleting request from infocube and you can set different options here like simillar info source, data source etc' also you can set 'Do Not delete Requests'. If manual update was done, unless you have selected 'Delete Existing Requests' and condition it cannot have deleted. IT IS ONLY FOR MANUAL LOADS.
2. When you execute thru process chain even if you use the same info package with all this options it won't delete unless you attached the process type 'Delete Overlapping Request' and the info package technical name. If you have not done these setup , you can be sure the data is not deleted, worse yet if you have rolled up as part of your process chain with out this it would have rolled up, you have to fix it by selective deleteion, and more work.
3. If you have done all correctly, the request would have gone, and if it is the only request you would see only one active request with Green under requests all the deleted identical request will be under 'Reconstruction' Tab.
I hope you have done everything right and just need to be sure of it.
Hope this helps, award points if useful.
Goodluck,

DTP Questions: Delete overlapping requests; Repair Full Request

Hello,
I'm new with the DTP concept in BI 7.0.
It is clear to me how DTP is working for normal loads like: full, delta, delta without data transfer etc.
But I don't see where I can specifies "Delete overlapping requests". Is this still possible in a DTP, or is it only possible by creating a Process Chain and insert the process-type "delete overlapping requests" ?
Also I have a question about "Repair Full request" using DTP. Is this option still possible ? Or do I have to create a DTP with extraction-mode = Full => Extraction from Active table. => Is delta than still working ?
Thanks for your input,
Wim

But I don't see where I can specifies "Delete overlapping requests". Is this still possible in a DTP, or is it only possible by creating a Process Chain and insert the process-type "delete overlapping requests" ?
This option is available only in Process Chains when u use DTP's.
/people/community.user/blog/2007/06/21/sap-netweaver-70-bi-data-transfer-process-with-147only-get-delta-once148
/people/community.user/blog/2007/06/21/sap-netweaver-70-bi-data-transfer-process-with-147get-data-by-request148
Also I have a question about "Repair Full request" using DTP. Is this option still possible ? Or do I have to create a DTP with extraction-mode = Full => Extraction from Active table. => Is delta than still working ?
Full Load was made Repair Full to Initialize if loading an ODS but however you dont need to worry abt the same in Netweaver 7.0 as DTP is taking care of the loading from PSA to DSO.
Initialization can be done after a full load as the load is only till PSA ( At Datasource Level ).
DTP doesnot require any initialization.
U can jst do a Delta DTP after a Full DTP to a DSO or u can even start with a Delta DTP directly.
For the first time -> Delta DTP = Full DTP !!

Delete overlapping requests from info cube

Hello
I am getting a issue sometimes where the process chain fails to delete a request from the cube on the conditions i have given in this process type. Now i have been digging into this but cannot find much of why would this happen.
Please can someone tell me if this is a known issue to you. Also please can someone give me some details on which program name gets generated when we pull this process type in a process chain. what i mean is what is the program running for this process chain as i want to debug and see how does this process type delete the request.
thanks

check the class CL_RSSM_REQUDEL and method IF_RSPC_EXECUTE~EXECUTE

"Delete Overlapping Requests from InfoCube" in a Process Chain

Dear all,
I encountered a problem when I building the process chain in BW 3.0.
In a process chain, I schedule daily an InfoPackage to load data to an InfoCube and then delete the previously loaded data by the same InfoPacckage from the InfoCube.
For example, I have 2 InfoPacakge, A and B, and schedule to load data to InfoCube C. In the process chain, I scheduled daily the following tasks in sequence:
- Delete index in InfoCube C
- Load data through InfoPackage A to InfoCube C
- Delete duplicated request previously loaded through InfoPackage A in InfoCube C
- Load data through InfoPackage B to InfoCube C
- Delete duplicated request previously loaded through InfoPackage B in InfoCube C
- Create index in InfoCube C
However, when I activate the process chain, a warning message is prompted: No type "Delete Overlapping Requests from InfoCube" process allowed infront of process "Execute InfoPackage" variable ZPAK_4GMFI
Would anyone tell me why such warning message is prompted?
Many thanks!
Best regards,
Marcus

Hi all,
Re Ranjan:
I previously config the process chain like that:
(1)   Delete index in InfoCube C
(2)   Load data through InfoPackage A to InfoCube C
(3a) Delete duplicated request previously loaded through InfoPackage A in InfoCube C
(3b) Load data through InfoPackage B to InfoCube C
(4)   Delete duplicated request previously loaded through InfoPackage B in InfoCube C
(5)   Create index in InfoCube C
where (3a) and (3b) is executed simultaneously.
However, (3b) often reports error. I guess it may be due to the parallel run of (3a) and (3b). So that's why I set the process chain to be executed in serial.
Re Jacob:
I found that the process chain can be run even a warning message is prompted when activating the process chain!.
Thanks you all for your kind support!!
Best regards,
Marcus
