Selective Deletion - can the job be stopped?

Hello experts,
we are facing this issue: a selective deletion of approx. 5000 records out of 15 million records was carried out in a cube last friday.
We can see the background job is still running. This is the first time we are doing a selective deletion so we don't know if this is normal that the job is running for so long. If it's not normal, is it safe to stop the job?
Many thanks in advance.

Inma

Thank you for your answer. But is it safe to stop the job? why is it taking so long?
Thanks

    I can't print from my  27" late 2013 iMac.  I am using an epson stylus 3800 pro.  I updated driver and added printer in system preferences. When i print the printer queue opens and shows the job as "stopped".  Supply level shows  "information is not available which maybe part of problem...thank you

    The first thing you could try is a reset of the printing system. Please note that this action will remove all printers and scanners from the Printers & Scanners preference pane.
    With the reset complete, unplug the Epson USB cable from the Mac for a minute and then reconnect it. This action should result in the printer being added again to the Mac automatically. If this does happen, then see if you can print again.
    If the printer is not added again automatically, open Printers & Scanners and click the plus button to add the Epson. Once this is done, then see if you can print again.

  • Selective Deletion of the Cube contents in Abap Program of the PChain

    Dear Experts
    I need to selectively delete the contents in Basic Infocube using Process Type - ABAP Program in the Process Chain in BW 3.5
    For this I have to give the Variant and Program name in the Process Type - ABAP Program in the Process Chain
    The ABAP Program for this purpose can be generated automatically by the system in the the below navigation
    info cube> Manage>contents > system menu(in the Top)> Status
    but this abap program is changing dynamically every time and hence in the Process chain ABAP Program node is failing with error saying that that program is not available
    I have tried the same way  in the selective deletin navigation path also in the cube manage
    Please let me know how to get the system generated program to use in the Process type-ABAP Program in Process Chain
    Thanks for all in advance

    Hi KSR,
    Try this.. start a selective deletion on the cube. you will get a background job running. Get the job name from SM37.
    Now write a ABAP program with the below code.
    parameter: p_Job_Name type sysuuid_c.
    CALL METHOD cl_rscrmbw_bapi=>exec_rep_in_batch
    EXPORTING i_barepid = l_jobnam.
    Execute the above program. Pass the job name which you got from SM37.
    Create a variant with that job name.
    Now schedule this newly created program. This should solve your issue.
    Note : The job name might vary from one server to another (Dev / Qual / Prod). So if you are planning to move your process chain from Dev, then pass the Job name (in prod) as the variant in yr Dev system and then transport it.

    Hi,
    How to do selective delete of the GL a/c, BA and Co Code from the BW request ??
    Regards,

    Cube or DSO?
    Cube - manage - notedown the req number - selective deletion - enter req number at REQ ID and give the selection parameters as you need(GL a/c, BA and Co Code ) and execute.
    For DSo you can't do selective deletion on request id basis

  • How to go for selective deletion if the request is rolled up???.. URGENT!!!

    hi all,
    we a have a data target which was compressed and rolled up...
    please do suggest us how to go for selective deletion  if the data target was rolled up???
    on what basis we need to do the selective deletion ??
    thanks for ur understanding...
    suggestions would be highly rewarded
    regards
    Prince

    Hi,
    in the subsequent datatargets of your ODS:
    if the requests are only rolled up, then you can delete those requests; now if your aggregates are collapsed then you'll have to dactivate them and reactivate them after. If not you can simply delete them.
    then delete all the requests from your ODS up to the request right after the missing one. This will deactivate you ODS delta init. This is not a problem since when you'll have finished with the above your ODS and subsequent targets will have a consistent status in terms of data.
    Reinit your ODS delta without datatransfer, reconstruct your missing request and the subsequent requests in your ODS.
    Reactivate them (not all together as a single activation, but separately).
    Then load the delta into your subsequent targets.
    Now if the subsequent datatargets are collapsed then you'll have to either reinit with full load or selective delete them. the missing request in your ODS still must be reloaded before!
    If you go for selective deletion you'll have to find the right selection criteria based on the data of your ODS. For instance if you can ensure that only a selected period is incorrect (all the ODS requests from the missing one to the last only contain data for JAN08) then you can selectively delete JAN08 from your subseq targets and perform a FULL load selecting JAN08 from your ODS.
    Then perform an INIT without data transfer... you can then continue your deltas as usual....
    hope this helps....

    If you are running many Agent jobs at the same time, you are probably running into this problem.

    So please dont edit the registry
    John Can you check sql server errorlog .I agree with Visakh that somebody or some program is manually stopping the job.

  • How to clean /Delete all the jobs from Job monitor.

    Hi,
    we have done lot of testing in redwood. we have scheduled many jobs through redwood.we want to clean up the Job monitor now.we want to delete all the jobs from job monitor.
    1)Is there any standard system give Job definition to do so?
    2) how to delete jobs in waiting status?(next run is going to lock wait due to this waiting job status)
    3)how to delete all the Operator messages?
    Regards
    Rajesh

    Hi,
    Yes that was for individual job definitions but often if there are many jobs, most jobs come from only a few job definitions (SAP_AbapRun, SAP_CCMSJob, ...) so these options could help you already to delete most jobs.
    You could also create a filter showing all Waiting jobs, then select all jobs, right-click and kill all these jobs.
    Then a filter for all jobs in an end-state (Completed, Error, Killed, Canceled), select all jobs, right-click and delete them.

  • Selective deletion of ODS  Job cancelled if number of selections exceed 300

    Folks,
    I am doing a selective deletion of some duplicate records in the ODS. I have identified 8000 records to be deleted and each records has a unique Key.
    In the delete options for selective deletion, I enter all the 8000 key values from a notepad and run the job in background, the job gets cancelled immediately giving an ABAP/4 exception raised error and giving a short dump. The short dump doesnt help much as well. However the job runs fine only for a maximum of 300 or so records.
    I wanted to know if anyone has faced the same error, or is there a limit to the number of entries we can put put on the selection screen or is there a limit on the number of lines we can delete on an ODS using selective deletion?
    Any help appreciated.
    Thanks
    Raju

    Anoop,
    I have tried Importing from text file, copy from clipboard also and scheduled the job in background. The max i could go was 300 selections only.
    My scenario is the ODS has only one key called BWODSKEY. So each selection I am using in selective deletion corresponds to one record on the ODS to be deleted.
    Thanks
    Raju

  • When syncing, i often do not get the current selections added or past selections deleted fom the ipod. any suggestions?

    when i sync up my ipod, i select new songs to add and remove. although itunes on the computer says syncing, the songs are not put on or taken off. any help to fix this would be most appreciated.

    get an iPhone? 
    as to date - that is an EXIF entry placed there by the camera (phone) and iPhoto just reads it so the cause is the phone recording it incorrectly somehow - you can export one to the desktop and look at the EXIF data using simple EXIF viewer - http://homepage.mac.com/aozer/EV/
    As ro faces, iPhoto does not distinguish by camera - it processes photos - if the photos taken by one camera are acting differently from the photos taken by other cameras then again I would look to the camera - contact their support

  • The Automatic "Slide in Out" Behaviour - can the slide be stopped midway somehow?

    The behavior library has a behavior called "Slide In Out"
    within the animations -> automatic section. There's a command to
    activate the slide by a message, but as I am going through the
    coding in it to review it, I don't see a command to stop the slide
    if it's running. Is there a way to do so? Go to the Frame doesn't
    do it since it's not related to the playhead moving.

    Replace the current prepareFrame() handler with this:
    property pPaused
    on prepareFrame me
    if not pPaused then
    mUpdate me
    end if
    end prepareFrame
    on Pause(me)
    pPaused = the milliseconds - pStart
    end Pause
    on Continue(me)
    pStart = the milliseconds - pPaused
    pPaused = FALSE
    end Continue
    You can now use...
    sendSprite(<spriteNumber>, #Pause)
    ... and...
    sendSprite(<spriteNumber>, #Continue)
    ... where you should replace <spriteNum> with the
    number of the sprite that you are working with.

  • Code to verify the number of records before selective deletion

    In order to archive some old data, I would like to do a selective deletion in the source cube after their transfer in the archive cube  by launching a program.
    I’ve seen in this forum that the name of the function module to do a selective deletion is RSDRD_SEL_DELETION.
    Nevertheless, I would like to check before if the <b>number of records</b> of the <b>archiving period</b> in my archive <b>cube</b> is the same as in my source cube.
    Who can help me to write the code to do this check with a selection of time? Thanks in advance

    Hi Domi,
    You can do it via the cintents tab in the management function of the infoprovider.
    There also is an selective deletion function button.

  • Regarding the Generic Selective deletion Program

    Hi Gurus,
    I have to create a deletion program for any target CUBES/ODS. The program should do selective deletion for ther target on the basis of the parameters provided.
    e.g.:
    Usually target ZXXXX_XXX is requested to load. ZXXXX_XXX  is loaded from DSO ZYYYYYY. So first we have to selectively delete data from both the target and then start loading data. Create a program that should accept the target and selection conditions and then delete the data from the target according to input conditions.
    We can consider FM RSDRD_SEL_DELETION for reference.
    Please help me with the details of the FM RSDRD_SEL_DELETION & its parameters. Please also suggest if any other solution.

  • Deleting Completed Print Jobs in Mac OS X 10.8 ?

    How can the job list of completed print jobs be deleted ?
    The job list fills up with lots of completed and canceled (a 10.7./10.8 bug) jobs and many jobs are added multiple times after a time in the list untill closed and reopened again.
    This makes it nearly impossible to find a specific job.
    Thanks.

    This isn't really a good solution, but the only way I found was to delete and re-add the printer. I didn't see anything obvious in the prefs files. Maybe send feedback to Apple about this?

  • Selective deletion on info cube taking long time.

    We have a cube with line item dimension and partioned on Fiscal year. When we are doing selective deletions on the cube on 0fiscper (removing the old redundant data) it is taking quite long time (approx 10 hours) to do this selective deletions as there is huge data in the E fact table ,Request older than 4 days are compressed in the cube and it has some millions of records in this table.
    Is there any way we can improve the performance of this selective deletion? Any improvements suggestions we are on sap BW 3.5 system.

    Hi,
    The issue is very specific .
    I recommend to check if there are defined matching indexes which fit to the where clauses of the delete statements. This will make the access to the record most effient.
    All other indexes need to be just deleted for the time-being and re-created after the clean is completed. This will save the time for updating the indexes.
    The deletes should be performed in bulks - i.e. many, e.g. 25, 100, more at once. If deletes sqls are send from ABAP to database one by one there is huge overhead in the network traffic time.

  • 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.
