PSA Deletion variant in Process chain

When I add more than one PSA tables in one process step of Process chain would the deletion happen sequentially or parallelly?
In other words, if I have some 20 PSA tables to be deleted, can I put all of them in one step or should I put them in different steps - some 4 or 5 steps - to reduce load on system? (I need to keep only 2 days data in each table).

Hi,
it will happen sequentially. You can put them in one process step.
However, I recommend to include the PSA deletion systematically in each corresponding chain since you can control it and monitor it better.
hope this helps...
Olivier.

/BIC/ namespace not modifiable, can't create PSA delete variant in process

Hello,
When I attempt to create a PSA delete process in a process chain, I get an error message as such:
Namespace '/BIC/' must be set to 'changeable' (transaction SE06)
Message no. R7063
I have had Basis dot his for me before and it worked, but it takes a lot of change menagement to do this. I have asked Basis to leave it modifiable in SE06, but they will not. Is that the only way to be able to create PSA process variants is to have Basis use SE06? I looked in Object Changeability, but nothing stuck out. I should not have to have Basis do this task every time. Please let me know if there is a better way.
Thank you.
Brent

Hi Brent
I believe /BIC/ namespace should remain modifiable where you are creating PSA deletion process.
You can check if that is the case in your system.
Check in TRNSPACE table with namespace /BIC/ .. changagle flag should be X. I think it should be in your production also

Source system in PSA deletion variant

Dear Experts
In process chain PSA deletion variant,in source system column I will give the Development source system name(C6D),and after transport to the Quality styem(C6Q) Should I change this source system manually in qualtiy or system automatically will pick up the corresponding source system name?If not,what is the possible solution since we dont have any access in quality system.
Cheers
Rajesh

Thanks for the reply.I got doubt because in DEV we have to enter manually both DS and SOURCE SYSTEM manually...after importing to Quality will it change the source system name?...Can i take for grant...Pls confirm....

Delete Initialization using Process Chain

Hi Experts,
How to delete initialization using process chain? Additional question, why does our DTP couldn't get any data from PSA? We just transfer our DTP to other process chain and left its associated infopackage from the original process chain but when we check our extraction, our DTP always gets zero (0) records. What do we need to put in our DTP settings? and infopackage and DTP should always be in the same process chain??
Thanks,
nips

Hi UserPV,
Thanks for your inputs!
Anyway, our InfoPackage in the other Process chain executed succesfully and has an extracted data. Now, our DTP can't get any data from the PSA where the extracted data of InfoPackage resides first. Is there any other way around to separate DTP and its associated infopackage in different process chains? Or those objects should be in the same process chain?
Another questions, how can we delete an initialization using a process chain? and is there a function module that can we use to remove the initialization request so that we could re-initialize a process?
Thanks,
nips

Error in execute planning sequence variant in process chain

Hi ,
While creating an Execute planning sequence variant in process chain in Quality system , i am getting an error" variable variant not selected ' though i created a variable variant and selected it in execute planning seq variant.
Transporting it from development system didnt work therefore i am trying to create it directly in Quality .
Any idea what could be the issue.

Hi,
Variable variant can be saved for planning sequence in modeler and then cab be used in process chains.
In process chain you can choose "Execute planning sequence"( separate process type) and add planning sequence with variant.

Load data from PSA to ODS in Process Chain

Hi All,
I want to load the data from PSA to ODS. I am using 3.5 Version. I have created the Info Package to load the data from R/3 to ODS.
I just want to load data in the following Condition
1. Need to load data from R/3 to PSA.
2. Need to load data from PSA to ODS.
I need to include this two Info Packages in Process Chain.
I dont find any option to load PSA to ODS through Process Chain..
Pls Suggest.
Thanks,
Ram.

Hi Ram,
You can keep the settings in the infopackage to load data from R/3 to PSA (by giving the settings as PSA and then into datatargets). Specify the option Update in all data targets for which the Rule Exist unde rthe Data Targets Tab.
Then in Process Chian, there is an option by the name REad PSA and Update Datatarget under the node Load Process and Post-Processing in the Process Types.
In the varaint, specify the infopackage name and save the varinat and uise it in the PC.

Delete Selection using Process Chain

Hello all,
Does any one know how to create a selected deletion using a Process Chain for DSO and Cube objects?
Thanks
Paulo

Hi,
You can use transaction delete_facts to generate program for selective deletion and use the program in your PC to automate it.
You can also try program RSDRD_DELETE_FACTS as well for cubes.

Delete psa variant in process chain

Hi all,
I am trying to create deletion of request from PSA and when I go to create the variant and new screen comes up where I have to specify a object type and then object name. also at the bottom there are 4 options older than __ days page before __date
only successfully booked/updated request
only those request with errors, that are not booked in data target.
Can someone tell how to deal with all these fields, in that object field and name do we have to specify an infooject? or can we just say anything older that 20 days and create a generic variant to use for all the process?
Please help
Thanks,

Well, I can try to explain in short:
No real best practice for number of process chains, but the way they are structured in our system is by applications: COPA, SD, Purchasing, CRM applications, Inventory, and some other custom applications. These are the process chains (can be several in each area) that take care of the transactional data load...and also other data load processes: compression, roll up, activate ODS data etc.
Master data load chains are divided as Daily, Weekly and Monthly. Of course several master data loads are also included in the transactional chains if we are doing a look up in the update rules, or may be some master data comes from the transactional datasource.
Other than that there is the PSA delete chain that was discussed above.
Hope this helps...

How to delete Process Variants in Process chain

Hello,
I created few test Process Variants I would like to delete how can we delete those?
Thanks,

I created few process variants but i did not saved those in process chain so i can not edit those in process chain
when I am trying to create new process chain in the popup window still showing old variants how to delete those
Thanks,

Delete Infocube via process chain V RSA1

When deleting the contents of an Infocube through RSA1 you get a choice of deleting Dimensions or Dimensions and Facts. When you are creating a process chain and you use the object Del;ete contents, what does it use as default Delete dims, or delete dims and facts?

Hi Dominic,
In the process chain, goto the deletion process step.
Right mouse click and select Display Variant.
Here you can see a check box and "Also Delete All Dimention Table Contents".
Based on whether this check box is ticked or un-ticked, you can make out what it does.
I hope this answers your question.

How to do a infocube selective deletion in a process chain ?

Hi all,
I encounter a little diffculty : I have a process chain that allow me to load daily R/3 datas into a BW/APO infocube, that works perfectly. The problem is that the volume of datas naturally keeps on growing, so I'd want to create a new step in the process chain, that would allow to make selective deletion in the cube.
For example, after every data loading in the infocube, datas of the cube that are dating of more than x days should be removed. I just can't find a process that allows me to do that, but only"complete deletion of data target contents", or "delete overlapping requests from infocube".
I'm quite sure there's an easy way to do that but.... Anyone go an idea please ?
Many thanks !
Fabrice

Hi Fabrice,
To my knowledge, there is no standard process type in process chian that can do this. You can include a program that can delete the old records. I am sure it is a simple login in it. You can do selective deletion in infocube manually but I wish we have a variant that can be created at this screen and refer in a process type. But at this time, I see only the program as solution.

Delete Index in Process Chain Takes long time after SAP BI 7.0 SP 27

After upgrading to SAP BI 7.0 SP 27 Delete index Process & Create index process in Process chain takes long time.
For example : Delete index for 0SD_C03 takes around 55 minutes.
Before SP upgrade it takes around 2 minutes to delete index from 0SD_C03.

Madhu P Menon

Hi,
Normally index creation or deletion can take long time in case your database statistics are not updated properly, so can check stat after your data loading is completed and index generation is done, Do creation of database statistics.
Then try to recheck ...

Program Variant in Process Chain

Hi All,
I have to execute a program in a Process Chain. I have included a process variant to execute the program. Now, this program bring us to a screen, where we need to click on the execute button to run that program. I need to add a program variant for this i guess. Can any one give me the procedure how to do this?
Points will be awarded.
Thanks in advance,
Anjum.

The program that you have written should run in background.
We use Variants for ABAP programs to be run in the Process Chain
- Create an ABAP variant
- Choose call mode "Synchronous", Called from "Local". Thats mostly the default we use. choose according to your requirement.
- Choose "Program". Choose the program name & the variant n ame. Its better if you create the variant while testing the program in sa38. Later you can use the same variant in the Process Chain ABAp variant OR can create a new one. Set appropriate values.
Please note that if in SA38, your program ran successfully with the variant, it should run here as well.
That should do.
Regards
Anujit Ghosh
Edited by: Anujit Ghosh on Jun 17, 2008 12:36 PM
To create the program variant, first enter a name of your choice in the program variant field. Click Edit.
- Choose Create New
- Choose "Values". Click Change. In teh next screen, enter all the required parameters. Choose if its a SAP standard prog, or modified program.
- Check the attributes as well. It will usually choose selection screen 1000 as default. Let it be.

How to create process variant in process chain

What is a process variant? i try to add Infocube compression to the fi process chain. To accomplish this task, i have to create process variant. please tell me the step by step process how to create process variant and successfully add the compression to the process chain. Can i do it directly in production? Thanks to SDN community that i can count on.

Hi Rafi,
<b>Process variants</b>
The process variant is the name of the process Within the process chain context, it displays the configuration of a process of a particular type set at the time of definition. A variant is only consistently defined together with the process type. A process can have various variants. With the load process for example, the name of the InfoPackage is the name of the process variant.
The user defines the process variant at the time when the process is scheduled. With some process types, the variants are determined internally and are stored as GUIDs.

You can create process chains directly in Production. Most of the times system allows(depends on system settings). But this is not a proper way of working. Create in Development and transport it to Production.
