Unused Master Data Display and Deletation

Hi all,
To delete any unused master data we have to goto infoobject and execute delete master data.
Is there any other way to display or delete master data records which is not used anywhere in BW system?
Because when we are trying to delete master data it is taking long time and lost of resource. Then after also due to other processes are waiting in the system we have to kill that job after 20 to 24 hours.
Can anybody please guide me through this?
Regards,
Rohan Shah

Hi Rohan,
You can delete the data in the tables by the way below.(However this is not the ideal approach)
1. Go to SE14 -> select 'Tables' from Dictionary objects & give table name (e.g. /BI0/SCOMP_CODE) -> Click Edit -> choose the option "Activate and adjust Database" and select "Delete Data".
On execution, it will delete the data.
Hope it helps.

Delete unused master data of a characteristic in BW7.30

Hi
I try to delete some master data entries in a characteristic.
Unfortunately I got an error message:
Lock of master data attributes deletion is set.
Then BW 7.30 set an entry for the characteristic in the table RSMASD (Lock Table for Master Data Deletion) and I canu2019t delete the master data.
I try to delete the master data via a job (maintain master data) and manually (select the wrong master data in the table -> delete and save the table), but I get the same error message above.
I also delete all open lock entries in SM12 and try again, but wonu2019t solve the issue.
Can someone explain me why BW 7.30 set the master data lock and how I can delete the unused master date of this characteristic?
Best regards
Tobias

Anyone with a solution for this? We have the exact same problem.
Can the record in RSMASD be deleted?
I created a new InfoObject and inserted a new masterdata text record. Then I tried to delete it immediatly, and i got the same error. If the object is in RSMASD, it gives a shortdump in ST22. If there's no record in RSMASD, then it gives a error (Lock not set...)

     The current ABAP program "CL_RSDMDD_DELETE==============CP" had to be
      terminated because it has
     come across a statement that unfortunately cannot be executed.
Error analysis
    In the Open SQL work area operation used, the work area in the key part
    must be convertible to a database table.
    For Unicode semantics this means the Unicode fragment views must
    correspond in length to the databse key.
    In non-Unicode systems, both structures must be flat for the length of
    the database key, with the exception of string components. This means
    that the key parts may not contain either references or internal tables.
    In this case the key of the database table has a width of 14 bytes.
Thanks.

Deleting unused master data

Hi All,
We want to delete unused master data. In our case, we need to delete material numbers from infoobject ZVD_MAT that is no longer used.
There is standard SAP program RSDMD_DEL_BACKGROUND to perform this activity.
But the problem is there is huge amount of data in ZVD_MAT and the above program will not give us any information of the material numbers that are deleted.
By using this program, it might happen that new material numbers which are required are deleted. In this case, it will be difficult to refresh ZVD_MAT for those new material numbers.
Can anyone suggest if there is any other way or programs/transactions to check the deleted materials?

Hi,
Try using the program
RSDMDD_DELETE_BATCH
Selective Deletion Using the Report
       1.      Enter report RSDMDD_DELETE_BATCH in ABAP Editor (transaction SE38) and create a variant for it.
       2.      Execute the variant.
       3.      Enter the InfoObject whose master data you want to delete.
       4.      In Filter Data, you can specify which data you want to delete.
       5.      You can specify a deletion mode for the data (parameter P_SMODE).
More information: Deleting Attributes and Texts for a Characteristic
       6.      You can simulate the report before running it (parameter P_SIMUL).
       7.      You can schedule the report in the background. If you want to clear up your master data at regular intervals, you can also integrate the report into a process chain using process type ABAP Program
or you can use function module as well
Check if the function module RSDMD_DEL_MASTER_DATA
Couple of import parameters:
I_IOBJNM -
Give info object name
I_T_CHAVL---Characteristic values
I_FLG_FORCE_DELETE-- to force delete
Use I_FLG_SIMULATION to simulate first and then delete
Thanks and regards

Reporting on master data customer and bad performances : any workaround ?

Hello,
I've been asked to investiguate on bad performances encountered when performing reporting
on the specific master data zcustomer.
Basically this master data has a quite similar design that 0customer, there are 96000 entries in the master data table.
A simple query has been developed : the reporting is done on the master data zcustomer and its attributes : no key figure, no calculation, no restriction ...
Nevertheless, the query can not be executed .. the query runs around 10 minute in rsrt, then the private memory is exhausted and then a short dump is generated.
I tried to buid a very simple query on 0customer, this time, without the attributes ... and it took more than 30 sec before I get the results.
I checked the queries statistics :
3.x Analyzer Server 10 sec
OLAP: Read Texts : 20 sec
How is it that it is so long to performthe reporitng on those master data, while in the same time If i try to display the content in SAP by choosing "maintain master data", I have an immediate answer.
I there any workaround ?
Any help would be really appreciated.
thank you.
Raoul

Hi.
How much data have you got in the cube?
If you make no restrictions, you are asking the system to return data for all 96.000 customers. That is one thing that might take some time.
Also, using the attributes of this customer object, fx making selection or displaying several of them, means that the system has to run through the 96.000 records in masterdata to know what goes where in the report.
When you display the masterdata, you are by default displaying just the 250 or so first hits, and you are not joining against any cube or sorting the result set, so that is fast.
You should make some kind of restriction on other things than zcustomer (time, org.unit, version, etc, to limit the dataset from the cube, but also a restriction on one of the zcustomer attribs, with an index for that maybe, and performance should improve.

Master data to be deleted after adding attribute

Hii All,
I have a master data info object, which contains the data.what will happen if i add new attribute to this master data info object.
right now this master data info object doesn't contain any data for this newly added attribute.
then i tried to delete data from the master data info object.but it is not allowing me to do so as it is used in three info cubes. i think if i delete the data then it will allow me to delete data from master data info object.But that is not possible as subsequently i have to delete the data from info cube in productio also.
So ran full update for the master data info object now i have the data for the newly added attribute.But when i am running report and try to drill down on the newly added characteristic it shows "#" not assigned.
What should i do..
pls help..
Regards,
Viren

Hi Rana
1. I have a master data info object, which contains the data.what will happen if i add new attribute to this master data info object.
Nothing will happen if you add a new attribute to the existing one. If your adding in the dev system, it will as you to create a request when you activate it.Just create a request the transport it.
2.But that is not possible as subsequently i have to delete the data from info cube in productio also.
You can delete the data in the dev system cube irrespective of production server cube data. If you delete the cube then you have to worry but deleting the data from the cube is not to worry. You can go ahead with deleting the data in the cube in dev server.
3.So ran full update for the master data info object now i have the data for the newly added attribute.But when i am running report and try to drill down on the newly added characteristic it shows "#" not assigned.
AFter loading the data . right click on the master data object and clik on Activate masster data or RUn apply hierarchy attribute change in Tools menu.
Hope this helps

Dear PM Experts,
I m facing a problem regarding equipments Master data display.
When I used t-code ih01 after getting the list of technical object when I click any of the technical object, in equipment master data structure tab I can see the functional location and superior equipment
But when I m seeing the same equipment No. through IE03 I m not able to see the functional location or superior equipment in structure tab.
One more difficulty hw to see the changes history effectively because when I see the changes history Extra---- Display Changes.there are no. of entry at a single time for example at 15:10:05 ( 15 hrs 10 min. & 05 sec ) there are ten changes in old value H & New value D . What it means please explain.
RC

Dear Pete,
I got the answer
1.In Ih01 Valid date i was taking in past so it was showing the past history of equipment.
2.whenever I m dismantling any functional location it is showing multiple changes at a single time.

Reporting on Master Data From and To

Hello Experts,
We are trying to report on the From and To dates of a time dependent infoobject 0FUND. We have turned the infoobject on as a dataprovider but we dont see how you report on the two dates. When we try adding 0DATETO to the attributes tab we get an error saying "attribute cannot be used with time-dependent attribute". Next i tried mapping in a Z infobject but I could not get the object to populate with the Date To data. What is the trick to getting these date fields in a query?
Thanks,
TMS

Hi,
Create Z objects for both dates. Create a Z object for master data objects "Fund".
Add these two Z objects as attributes in master data Z object.
Create as infoset with Orignal master data object and Z master data object.
Use Infoset to create report.
I hope it will work.
Thanks,

Hi,master data tables and SID's

Hi,
Where and how we will find the master data tables and SID tables?I am going to se16 and checking there but i am not able to see there in which table these are located or stored?
Thank you,

Assuming the infoObject name is ZINFOOBJECT.
The tables are :-
/BIC/MZINFOOBJECT       View of Master Data Tables: Characteristic
/BIC/PZINFOOBJECT       Master Data (Time-Ind.): Characteristic
/BIC/RZINFOOBJECT        View SIDs and Char. Values: Characteristic
/BIC/SZINFOOBJECT       Master Data IDs: InfoObject
/BI0/HZINFOOBJECT                 Hierarchy: InfoObject
/BI0/IZINFOOBJECT                 SID Structure of Hierarchies: InfoObject
/BI0/KZINFOOBJECT        Conversion of Hierarchy Nodes - SID: InfoObject
/BI0/TZINFOOBJECT        Texts: Char.
/BI0/XZINFOOBJECT       Attribute SID Table: InfoObject
/BI0/ZZINFOOBJECT       View Hierarchy SIDs and Nodes: Char.

SE16 data display and authorizations.

Hi Experts,
I had few following questions regarding data display and authorization using SE16 :-
As example, SAP HCM solution for an enterprise is implemented in say 10 countries :-
- Is it that using SE16 the user has the authorization to display all data, including the data for different countries employee's?
- isn't the infotype data based on the country grouping settiings and shouldn't be displayed via SE16?
- Can the authorization be controlled, using User group or some roles being assigned while creating the user id?
Thank you for your help in advance.
Thanks and Regards,
Puneet Luthra

Puneet,
If you assign SE16 tcode to a profile you can set further authorization object S_TABU_DIS - here you can set authorization groups such as PA for HR intptype tables and SC for PD infotype tables,
I do not believe that you can actually set infotype level access. i.e if you give pa tables then thay can see all pa tables you cannot restrict to just say, 0001 and 0007. This is independent of the P_ORGIN authorizations, so even if you restrict a certain infotype in P_ORGIN, they will be able to see using SE16.
One of the ways in which we have got around it in the past is to just create custom transctaions for each table they want to see, such as zse16_pa0001 and assign individual tables to those who need it. Only HR experts and Support users need this kind of access in the production system so it should be relatively easy to maintain individually.
Hope this helps.

InfoProvider: infoObject (master data attribute and text)

I saw info Object of master data attribute and text in InfoProvider.
are infoObject act like a table when we do query on them.

Hi
Refer to this as down
Custome Infoobjects Tabels:
/BIC/M -- View of Master data Tables
/BIC/P -- Master data Table, Time Independent attributes
/BIC/Q -- Master data Table, Time Dependent attributes
/BIC/X -- SID Table, Time Independent
/BIC/Y -- SID Tabel, Time Dependent
/BIC/T -- Text Table
/BIC/H -- Heirarchy Table
/BIC/K -- Heirarchy SID Table
Standard Infoobjects Tabels(Buss. Content):
Replace "C" with "0" in above tables.
Ex: /BI0/M -- View of Master data Tables

Master data text and ods

can i load the master data text and ods parallely?

Hi Abby,
If your ODS contains a characteristic value of an infoobject and you want to load master data (texts and attributes) of this IO, you'd better load master data first (not in parallel), then transaction data.
You can do it in a process chain.
Such a sequence will prevent the possible ODS activation failure.
Best regards,
Eugene

Master Data Text and Attributes

Guys,
I read some posts on sdn regarding differences between master data texts and attributes and now I am a little confused. I thought attributes define a char. then what does text do? Does it not define or describe the char as well? If both are doing the same thing then why do we need both ? I am not sure if my understanding is correct. Please help me.
Thanks,
RG

Hi Ram,
To understand in a better way little bit of R/3 work would have been helpful.
In R/3 Every entity has master data maintained like customer, material, plant etc.
If you would see a customer in R/3 you can see it has lots of information..like address,telephone number,street company name, etc.
And along with it we have customer name...i.e. description..(text)
Now in R/3...text tables are generally maintained separately then master data tables...it can be together as well.
Something like for you Ram Goswami is descrption(text) for the user ID XXXXXXX in SDN.
Email ID and company name is the master data stored here for him.
BW has used the same modelling concept to keep the text table separate from the msater data table.
It creates to separate data target for master data and text so that two seperate tables can be maintained in BW and you have to load the data in both to see the master as well as text.
Since we have separate master data table and text table in R/3 therefore we have separate data sources as well based on them.
You would like to have you master data table exactly as the master data table of R/3 so you will add attributes in the infoobject 0customer and it will create a P table for 0customer...keep adding attributes to make the columns in the table and to make the exact copy of R/3 table i.e. to bring all the information from R/3 about customer master you add attributes in the 0customer.The data soiurce based on this table in R/3 will contain the fields from the table.
Now you do the mappings with fields between infoobject and data source and load the data ...so master data is loaded.
For text...once you check the text option in infoobject..SAP creates a new table Tcustomer in the background..
Now you have to do the mappings for this as well through the data source based on the text table in R/3.
In some cases the master data table contains text as well and in that case you use the same data source based on this table to create two separate update rules one for master data object and another one for text object and do the mappings accordingly.
In this case you schedule the load to both the target at the same time and data gets loaded.
but for different data sources you will have to schedule the load separately.
Once data loaded for this...now you can use it in the report and see the text as well as master data attributes in the reports and there values.
I hope that was more then enough
Thanks
Ajeet
