DTP and "Deleting Existing Request"

[Former Member]

Hello Gurus

I have a Doubt whith DTP

In 3.X i used Infopackage (in full update) , and sometimes i used the OPtion "deleting request after update" which have the same Infosource, the same datasource and the same system source.

In DTP i don't find any option. Do you you think FULL UPADTE will have the same proprieties ?

Thank for your help

Hi...

Are you doing the update using process chain...??

if so then use the process type delete --Complete Deletion of Data Target contents in the process chain....before running your DTP (as your DTP is full update only.)

You rigth ! we will use Process Chain , and i will use your tips ...

But manually it's impossible i think

word of caution: delete overlapping request didnt work for me when I try loading the data directly from PSA to cube and delete the request, and it works fine it I do the same from dataprovider to dataprovider (not PSA)

With DTP. there are two ways to achieve this.

you can include "DELETE EXISTING REQUEST" process type in the process chain.

delete PSA

execute infopack

drop index

Execute DTP

Delete existing request

generate index

other way

delete PSA

execute infopack

delete data target contents (if its loading from only one source)

schedule DTP

generate index

There is a option in Process chain that can be used to delete previous or overlaping request.

you can use the option " Delete Overlapping Requests from InfoCube " to delete the request.
