What is the purpose of the function Delete Data and Meta Data in a Queue in RSA7? What exactly is deleted?
You should act with extreme caution when you use the delete function in the delta queue. It is comparable to deleting an InitDelta in the BW System and should preferably be executed there. Not only do you delete all data of this DataSource for the affected BW System, but you also lose all the information concerning the delta initialization. Then you can only request new deltas after another delta initialization. When you delete the data, this confirms the LUWs kept in the qRFC queue for the corresponding target system. Physical deletion only takes place in the qRFC outbound queue if there are no more references to the LUWs. The delete function is intended for example, for cases where the BW System, from which the delta initialization was originally executed, no longer exists or can no longer be accessed.
