Delete notification

[Former Member]

Hi all,

I need to delete a notification from QMEL table and its corresponding data.

I have checked the below function modules. But none of these function modules allows me to delete the custom notification types.

Can any one please let me know the procedure to delete a notification? I need to write a program which deletes the notifications.

We are current working on 4.6c Version.

ALM_PM_NOTIFICATION_DELETE

IQS4_DEL_DATA_NOTIFICATION

IWOA_DELETE_NOTIFICATION_ARC

IWON_NOTIFICATION_DATA_DELETE

BAPI_ALM_NOTIF_DATA_DELETE-Not Avaialble in 4.6c

Thanks in Advance,

GNid.

Notifications are not meant to be deleted.

You set the deletion flag on a notification. The you must perform an archiving run to actually remove it from the system.

See SAP help:

http://help.sap.com/erp2005_ehp_01/helpdata/en/de/95700c415611d1893d0000e8323c4f/frameset.htm

Here is a breif amount of the help I pasted in from the help:

*****************************************************

You may want to delete a notification (for example, because the malfunction reported is covered by another malfunction report, or an activity report was inadvertently entered twice).

However, you cannot delete a notification directly online. Usually, you set a deletion flag in the notification, which informs the system that this notification can be deleted.

At certain intervals, an archiving program will be started in your company. This program checks the notifications with deletion flags, converts the deletion flags into deletion indicators, and then deletes the notifications from the database and copies them to an archive.

I hope this helps.

Hello Nid and Craig,

I think the ink you were referring to is:

The sub chapters describe in detail what is done.

Hi G Nid,

Find below the link about the details of archiving program.

Preprocessing

The preprocessing program marks the selected notifications (notifications with status DLFL or NOCO) for archiving or deletion by giving them status ARNB. In this way, an individual notification is both prepared for archiving and blocked from further changes in dialog.

RQARCQMV

Archiving

The write program writes the database tables for all quality notifications to the archive. If the operation is successful, the program deletes the data from the system after archiving, depending on the Customizing settings.

RQARCQMA

Deleting

The delete program deletes all database records for quality notifications that were successfully archived.

If the deletion program is not called up automatically after the activity Archive has been successfully completed, you must wait until all the archiving is completed. Then you can schedule this step.

RQARCQMD

Evaluating

You can display data for the archived quality notifications using the evaluation program.
