Hi Friends,
We have around 2.6 million unwanted vendors in GTS and would like to delete them.
We are following the 2 step process.
1 We are first running running BUPA_DEL and it is successfully deleting the record from BUT000.
2 Then we ran program /SAPSLL/BP_DATA_CLEANUP to do clean up but it is showing below error.
Error in Step 2: Archive the listed objects manually /SAPSLL/SPLAUD.
Query 1: Is there any step which need to be done before running the clean up program which will remove entry from table /SAPSLL/SPLAUD?
In the interest of time, we created a deletion program to delete desired BPs from SPLAUD table and then we ran the clean up program mentioned in step 2 and it completed successfully.
Now, since we have 2.6 millions, we started doing this test for only 10K vendors.
Step 1 BUPA_DEL for 10K BPs as batch- Completed in 5 mins
Step 2 Run Custom program ZDEL_SPLAUD for 10 K BPs as batch- Completed in 20 mins
Step 3 Run clean up program /SAPSLL/BP_DATA_CLEANUP for 10 K BPs batch- Still running
It has been 3 days and still the step 3 job is running, I checked with the DBAs and as per them it is still doing backend processing.
Query 2: Is it OK to use a custom program to delete entries from SPLAUD(These are unwanted vendors so business is OK from AUDIT perspective to delete these entries)
Query 3 what can be done for performance on Clean up program as it will take ages to do this for 2.6 million vendors.
Your suggestion will be appreciated!
