The correct way to delete old transport request record ?

Dear all,
We want to delete old transport request record before 2008 (two years before) of our system.
We learn that we should delete the records in the below two path:
/usr/sap/trans/data
/usr/sap/trans/cofiles
Our target is that we will not see the old record after deleting in our PRD system.
Normally, we see the transport request record in system by this way:
STMS -->  import overview --> PRD --> Import Queue   system PRD --> Import history
Our question is do we need to restart our system after delete the record to refresh the Import history?
We have not delete the record now.
Any experienced or expert, please kindly give advice.
Regards,
Allen

Hello Allen,
there are some notes and documentations for this process. Deleting the files from /cofiles and /data will not erase the request from the import history, as you already know.
You should follow note #41732 to have the requests/data completely deleted from your system. There is a lot of complementary reading in notes #7224, #556734, #189841, etc.
Note that you can remove the request from the import queue, import history, data and cofiles subdirectory, but still have it on the <SID> buffer (located in  /usr/sap/trans/buffer/<SID>). If this happens to you, please save a copy of the buffer file <SID>, then create a new, blank file named <SID> at a time when the import queue is empty (VERY IMPORTANT). Or, alternatively, please excute the tp cleanbuffer FIL command (which will erase the requests that are not found in /data and /cofiles directories).
--> Please test this first on a test system, not directly on a productive environment.
This should be enough to delete old transport requests on your system.
Best regards,
Tomas Black

  • What is the correct way to delete a global login item?

    I installed a ArcSoft app that added a global login item to the files:
    /Library/Preferences/com.apple.loginitems.plist
    /Library/Preferences/loginwindow.plist
    I want to remove this item and would like to know the correct/proper way to do this.

    In the system.log I'm seeing the following after I renamed the /Library/Application Support/ArcSoft/Connect Service folder:

    Note that I did not actually delete /Library/Preferences/loginwindow.plist
    but renamed it to loginwindow.plist.arcsoft-maybe-delete. I did see another loginwindow.plist file was created automagically after I rebooted and I checked it and did not see any items in it.

  • What's the best way to delete old iphoto libraries

    I have an old library that I created in iPhoto 4 so that my parents could see their vacation pics. I want it off my hard drive and don't need it anymore anyway. Can I just drag and drop the whole library in the Trash? I'm using iPhoto 8 now, so it's been converting my old libraries into ones organized the way it is.

    That will work.

  • I have a macbook air late 2010 and keep getting a warning that my hard drive is full and to delete things so I purchased a external hard drive (1TB) but I'm just not sure what the correct way to transfer and store files to the external drive is. First MAC

    I purchased a macbook air about 5 months ago and lately i keep recieving a warning that the hard drive or disk is full and that I will need to move items to trash in order to free up space on it. I purchased a external hard drive 1 TB but I'm very new to mac and ios and unsure as to how I'm suppose to transfer my files (video, pics, music etc.) from my mac over to the external hard drive in the correct way so I won't end up deleting them permenately or screwing anything up with my mac as far as the applications and programs being able to run. Am I supposed to just copy to the external hard drive and then move to and empty the trash? That's pretty much all I could come up with, but then what if i need or want to access that file again at a later time. Also, I have an i Phone and i pad so with i cloud it automatically syncs all my purcheses and if i delete something from itunes on my mac it deletes from my ipad.
    I'd appreciate any kind of input i think im just a little lost here. I have to say i love my Mac and wouldn't trade it for anything (except maybe a macbook pro w/more memory)... Is there something I'm missing???

    To free up hard drive space the best bet is to move data files that you don't need access to all the time. Likely candidates are music, video, and photos. Things like word processing and spreadsheet files can also be moved but they tend not to be very large and so don't free up much space. The problem with moving the above mentioned files is that iTunes and iPhoto need to know where the files are stored.
    Here's an article explaining how to move the iTunes folder. You can move the iPhoto library using the Finder but there is a slight complication. Start iPhoto, open the Preferences and click on the Advanced tab. The first option is "Copy items to the iPhoto Library". If this option is checked, copy the iPhoto library to your external folder (drag it from the Pictures folder to your external drive) and then delete it from your Picture folder. If this option is not checked, it is a bit more complicated and we'll need to talk a bit.

  • What's the correct way to handle changes in RDBMS/DBadapter?

    In my project all changes to the database are not done via Jdeveloper but via TOAD. This means DBadapters must be made aware of changes in the database.
    I tried to re-run the DBad.apter wizard twice (2 different services) - to make it aware of changes in the DB. Both times it failed. I think was after the import database tab. The next tab was just blank.
    So what's the correct way of reconile changes in the db backwards into Jdev?
    BTW, in the DBadapter wiz its not possible the remove a already imported table. How do I come across the situation where I want the DBadapter to point to af different table? - and possibly remove old references to another one - which might have been removed in the DB.
    As It is now - I have to re-work all my DBadapters, which is not very much fun...
    Rgds, Henrik

    Trust me, I hv done that umpteen nbr of times.
    I hate BA's coming to me with changes, for which I hv to modify the DB adapter.
    One big loop-hole with BPEL is if we try to modify the adapters/toplink, it doesnt tend to work properly.
    The manthra for such modifications is ... "recreate", which is definetely not a good practise.
    You may not like but gottu live with it, my friend.
    Pointing to a different table, I achieve it by doing a "Shift+Delete" to all the references of the old table in the BPEL project ... :|
    There isnt a specific provision in the wzd (I am not sure of the latest version, though).

  • CHaRM-Handling old transport request before CHARM was activated.

    Hi All,
    Recently i just activated CHARM in solman-SM1 for new a project implementation. This CHARM was setup in in such a way that it tie to one of the local IMG project EPROJ in developmemnt-DEV.  Now i have one concern and that is those transport requests where created before i activated CHARM.
    These old transport requests were crerated directly in DEV without project assigned. Therefore, we tried to assign IMG project EPROJ (the same IMG project setup in CHARM) into those old transport request manually.
    Problem : When i tried to perform released step in CHARM tasklist it says that "No transport request found"
    Question : How do i make CHARM to pickup those old transport requests?
    Really appreciate your feedback as there are a lots of old transport request which needed.
    Thank you.

    Hi,
    If you use Change Request Management, you should always use Change Request Management means to create transport requests; that is, create transport requests in a change transaction or in the task list.
    Manually registered transport requests can be assigned to a task list only, not to a change transaction.  If you use change transactions ,,,,the system does not take into account transport requests that you added manually.
    This note is what you want
    Note 1150426 - Registering transport requests in ChaRM
    Hope it solve ur problem completely.

  • How to delete old transfer requests

    Hi,
    I need to delete old transfer requests from dev, do you have idea, how to do it?
    Thanks
        Radka

    Radka, If the transport request has not yet been moved up the chain, first you have to delete the individual objects after diplaying the request in SE09/SE10 that are in the request and then delete the request. It might give you a warning message that the object is currently locked but you can ignore that.
    One word of caution, If someone else is trying to change the objects again in DEV please note that they will be changing the already changed objects in DEV which is not in line with what is currently in QA or PROD.

  • Tp command for deleting old transport reqsts

    could you please  tell me the exact tp command for deleting the old transport request and its logs and buffers. I read many docs but not getting the exact one.

    Hi Stephen,
    Take a look at note 41732.
    Basically, there are 3 steps:
    1- Add (or verify) these parameters at your TP_DOMAIN_<SID>.PFL:
    datalifetime=30
    loglifetime=60
    olddatalifetime=60
    cofilelifetime=30
    The values are in "days". Change it at your convenience.
    2- run "tp check all pf=/<path>/TP_DOMAIN_<SID>.PFL"
    This command just creates a list of files to delete at /usr/sap/trans/tmp/.
    3- run "tp clearold all pf=/<path>/TP_DOMAIN_<SID>.PFL"
    And this deletes all the files from the list.
    Best Regards,
    JC Llanes.

  • Delete Release transport request

    Hi Gurus,
    I need to delete a transport request which is already release. Please let me know what is the best way to do that.
    Thanks
    Liza

    Hi Liza:
    You cannot delete released transport requests.
    Don't import them into QAS or PROD.
    If you already imported them, then your only option is to delete the Objects manually in DEV, capture the deletes in a new request and transport th enew one.
    As you know if you released a request, you can ignore it without moving it anywhere.

  • What is the correct way to upgrade 5.0.4 to 5.1 Universal?

    I just received Final Cut Studio Universal, and I have Final Cut Pro 5.0.4 installed what is the correct way to upgrade all the Final Cut Studio applications? Do install over or delete each application and then reinstall?
    As always thanks in advance for reading and replying to my Post,
    Sebastian

    WHEN I do it, I'm going to archive what's necessary and desirable to keep, erase my hard drive, reinstall Tiger, do the upgrades, then install 5.1 clean and do the upgrades.
    Might sound like overkill, but I really love a clean, fast machine and nothing does it better!

  • Is it is possible to delete released transport requests...

    Hi Experts,
    I had created transport request and it is released, moved to quality with errors. I dont know why I am getting errors while transporting the request, Now I am creating another transport request. Is it any possibility to delete released transport request or is there any solution for this. why I am getting errors while transporting from dev to quality.
    Thanks & Regards,
    RAJ

    HI,
    Its not possible to delete the released transport request. You should have to follow transport procedure .
    T-code for Transport Connection- Check in SE09/se10 for creating requests.
    For collecting objects you have go Transport connection without missing the objects.
    SE03 for checking the Request objects.
    Go to transport connection in RSA1 Select u r Data target or report what ever it may be in development sys & select only necessary objectsu2026 click on transport optionu2026u2026it will ask the transport request create new req. go to SE-9 release the objectu2026go to STMS import u2026RELEASE The objects in quality sysu2026same procedure to production sys.

  • What is the fastest way to delete photos on the iphone?

    Is there a way to delete old photos that have been taken on my phone any other way than one picture at a time??  I am wanting to free up some memory......

    Import the photos with your computer as with any other digitial camera. Most computer photo importing apps include an option to delete the photos from the camera after the import process is complete.
    Or select Edit followed by selecting multiple photos that you want to delete followed by selecting Delete.
