add time series and CIF behaviour

[Former Member]

All,

I need to delete time series and add time series again. What is the impact in a production environment? Do I need to stop CIF etc?

Cheers

There is no need to stop the CIF queues when you are deleting and recreating the time series. The data can flow in from R/3 and it will not have any impact on the time series deletion / recreation process. But in general it is advisable to perform this task after normal business hours when no business users are logged in and when no other jobs are running.

This is necessary because if anything were to go wrong you can be sure the problem is because of the time series deletion and recreation.

Also MAKE SURE YOU BACKUP ALL TIME SERIES DATA to backup cube before deleting the time series , otherwise you will lose all your data as soon as you delete the time series . In general time series is deleted only when it is absolutely necessary since it is considered a very critical process .

Thanks
