Management of DataStore Objects

Features

The DataStore object is displayed in the top table. You only have to select a DataStore object from the DataStore objects available if you called DataStore object administration from the monitor. 

In the top toolbar, choose Contents to display the contents of the table of active data for the DataStore object you have selected. With Delete Contents, you can delete the contents of the DataStore object. You can also display an application log and a process overview.

Tab Page: Contents

You can display the content of the change log table, the newly loaded data table (activation queue), or the active data (A table). You can also selectively delete requests from the DataStore object.

More information: DataStore Object Content

Tab Page: Requests

This tab page provides information about all requests that have run in the DataStore object. You can also delete requests here or schedule an update.

More information: Requests in DataStore Objects

Tab Page: Reconstruction

You use this function to fill a DataStore object with requests that have already been loaded into the BI system or into another DataStore object. This function is only necessary for DataStore objects that obtained their data from InfoPackages.

More information: Reconstruction of DataStore Objects

Tab Page: Archiving

If you have created a data archiving process, you see this additional tab page.

More information: Administration of Data Archiving Processes

Automatic Further Processing

If you still use a 3.x InfoPackage to load data, you can activate several automatisms to further process the data in the DataStore object. If you use the data transfer process and process chains that SAP recommends you use, you cannot however use these automatisms.

We recommend that you always use process chains.

More information: Including DataStore Objects in Process Chains

If you choose the main menu path Environment ® Automatic Request Processing, you can specify that the system automatically sets the quality status of the data to OK after the data has been loaded into the DataStore object. You can also activate and update DataStore data automatically. Data that has the quality status OK is transferred from the activation queue into the table of active data, and the change log is updated. The data is then updated to other InfoProviders. 

You can also make these settings when you create DataStore objects.

More information: DataStore Object Settings

Only switch on automatic activation and automatic update if you are sure that these processes do not overlap.

Delete Change Log Data

You can delete data from the change log. To do this, choose Environment ® Delete Change Log Data in the main menu. Continue as described under Deleting Requests from the PSA.
