Delete changelog in process chain

[Former Member]

Hi,

in a process chain i want to delete periodically the changelog for a 3.5 ods.

The problem is, that the changelog isn't getting deleted.

I created a 7.x dso and tried the deletion of changelog with this object. It worked well.

So my question, is it possible that i can't delete the changelog of an 3.5 ods with the new (since bw 7.x) process type?

Any suggestions how to automatically delete this changelog.

One solution may be to migrate the 3.5 ods to a 7.x dso?

Kind regards,

Tobias

Hello All,

I faced the same issue in our system with - there were some change logs that were not being deleted.
This was due to the conversion from 3.5 to 7.0. The following steps were taken to resolve the issue.

Look in table RSTSODS for the DSO,
example: *ZPO_LPSL*

1. If the USERAPP field does not contain CHANGELOG, the change log data will not be deleted.
2. If the field is blank, use ABAP
   program RSDG_ODSO_ACTIVATE to activate the DSO. This can be done in a closed
   system.
3. That will put CHANGELOG in the USERPAPP field and allow the change log data to be deleted.
4. Rerun your Change Log process chain and it should delete the change log data successfully

Hi Tobias:

   I know this is a very old thread, but I got here today when while searching for an answer to a similar issue.

For my case in particular, I found the solution in SAP Note 1618423 - "701SP11:New Changelog deletion variant doesn't work correctly", that is because of the software version and Support Package we have in our System.

I wanted to share this info here, just in case someboy else can benefit from this in the future.

Hi,

SInce you are able to delete the data from DSO so I don't think you made a mistake in defining the process type. The process type does not make difference for the DSO type as it uses same class in the background...

May be you can raise a SAP message giving all your findings..

Thank you for the answers.

I created the process chain like the way mentioned in the document.

The feedback from the process type "delete changelog" is, that he doesn't find any request in the changelog. (3.x).

So the process doesn't delete the changelog.

My second changelog deletion process, but for a 7.x dso, finds a changelog request and deletes it. That's correct.

Kind regards,

Tobias

did you flag :

Delete Activation Requests Only; No Load Requests

Only activation requests (requests that begin with ODSR_... ) are deleted. No load requests are deleted.

it's the last flag under the dso icon.
