With best regards Tilman SAP-Hinweis Nr. 922544 09.02.2006 Seite 1 ________________________________________________________________________ Nummer 922544 Version 1 vom 09.02.2006 Status Für Kunden freigegeben Gesetzt am 09.02.2006 Sprache EN Mastersprache DE Kurztext BW Informix: Data loss after you delete master data Verantwortlich Georg Mayer Komponente BW-SYS-DB-INF BW Informix ________________________________________________________________________ Langtext Symptom This note applies only to BW systems that have INFORMIX as the database. Cubes or aggregates are inconsistent after you delete master data. Other terms Master data, Informix, RSDRD_DIM_REMOVE_UNUSED Reason and Prerequisites All dimension tables that contain this InfoObject are cleaned up after you delete master data. This cleanup, which deletes all dimension entries that are no longer used in the cube from the respective dimension table, is incorrect. For aggregated InfoCubes and aggregates, the system incorrectly deletes too many entries from the respective dimension table. Therefore, the affected InfoCubes and aggregates are inconsistent. Solution The following BW Support Packages contain the error: BW 3.0B Support Package 28 BW 3.1C Support Package 22 BW 3.50 Support Package 14 If you have already called the master data deletion or the function for entries that are not used in the dimensions of a cube in troubleshooting in Transaction RSRV since you imported one of the Support Packages mentioned above, you must check the consistency of all affected and aggregated InfoCubes and aggregates. In Transaction RSRV, call the consistency test for fact and dimension tables of an InfoCubes for all cubes to be checked. You can no longer repair an inconsistent InfoCube. The only option is to reconstruct the InfoCube. If you cannot reconstruct one or more inconsistent InfoCubes, you must restore a backup of the database, which ensures that the database does not contain any inconsistent cubes. You can also reconstruct inconsistent aggregates provided that the respective BasicCube does not contain any errors. If you have imported one of these Support Packages, you must implement the attached advance correction immediately. The error is corrected as of the following Support Packages: BW 3.0B Support Package 31 BW 3.1C Support Package 25 BW 3.50 Support Package 17 ________________________________________________________________________ Gültige Releases Software Komponente Release von bis SAP_BW Business Information Warehouse 350 - 350 310 - 310 30B - 30B SAP_BW_VIRTUAL_COMP SAP_BW Virtual Component 30B - 30B ________________________________________________________________________ Verweise auf Support Packages Softwarekomponente Release Packagename ________________________________________________________________________ Business Information Warehouse 30B SAPKW30B31 310 SAPKW31025 SAP_BW Virtual Component 30B SAPK-30B38INVCBWTECH ________________________________________________________________________
