Note 1069957 - Restarting delete phase with partially deleted data

Summary

Symptom

This note deals with the following symptoms:

• An archiving request terminates in the delete phase. If you repeat the delete phase, the request terminates again because the number of data records found according to the current deletion criteria no longer corresponds with the number of originally archived data records. This is because data records were deleted from the InfoProvider the first time the run terminated.

• When the delete phase begins, the data that the request stored in near-line storage is visible to the query access. If the delete phase terminates and the status of the archiving request has not been changed (that is, the request status still has value "50 Verification Phase Ended Successfully"), the near-line data remains visible to the query.

• When you reload several archiving requests to a DataStore Object in parallel, an inconsistency may occur in the status management of BI archiving: The full selection executed in field PARTCOND of table RSDADAPPART (that is, all completely archived and not yet reloaded archiving requests) is incorrect. As a result, when you attempt to archive the data again, the system displays message RSDA 226 "Selected area already completely archived".

• In an 'ARCHIVE' type process step (short description: "Archive Data from an InfoProvider"), a new archiving request should be created and it should continue to a set target status. However, after the processing step has finished, the archiving request is in status "10 Request Generated", regardless of the set target status. When an existing archiving request continues, the set target status is likewise not reached. Instead, the system carries out another phase of the archiving request only. This symptom occurs only if the data archiving process data is stored in an ADK archive.
