I have created an Archiving Process for a cube, and set it up to automatically start the "delete". I then created a process chain to execute the Archiving Process.
When I execute the process chain, here's what I notice in the joblogs:
1) Archiving job runs, writing the selected data to archive file
2) A separate deletion job is started, but the deletion job runs in "test" mode (which seems kind of like simulation mode) and identifies the records it would delete but it never actually deletes the data from the cube.
3) In SARA (Archive Administration), this run shows up as an "Incomplete Archiving Session", showing that archiving step was complete but deletion hasn't occured.
I am able to delete the data by running the "Delete" manually in SARA and then the "Archiving Session" goes to "completed" status. When I run it manually from SARA, the job log shows that it is running in "production mode" and not "test mode".
My question is... Is there a way to start the deletion in "production mode" and not "test mode" when I run the process chain?
Or is this a bug, that I should report to OSS?
Thanks much.

Hello,
You can set the Production Mode in Customizing
Have you tried with this function module ARCHIVE_OPEN_FOR_DELETE
Also see [Developing Delete Programs|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/2a/fa0495493111d182b70000e829fbfe/content.htm]
Note 1119944 - Archiving request:Production mode instead of simulation mode
Thanks

Hi Chandran,
Thanks for taking the time to respond to this thread. I am not sure I understand what you meant by "you can set the production mode in customizing". How do I do that?
I have looked at the link and SAP note you suggested. However, they don't seem to address the specific issue I am encountering. My intent is not to write my own custom delete program, but just to run the standard SAP archiving and delete process via a process chain.
Thanks,
Padmaja
I just discovered that this is indeed a bug. I hadn't found a relevant match in my earlier searches, but a change of search words and I found SAP note 1132269 (support pack 18) that addresses the issue.
