The DataStore object is active.
You can display technical information about the contents of a DataStore object using the Manage DataStore Object function. You can perform administrative tasks here, such as delete requests.
Load requests cannot always be deleted. The restrictions are described in relation to modeling templates: Templates for Modeling the Data Warehousing Layers
You can use selective deletion to delete records from the DataStore object with keys that no more data will be loaded for. This is the case for example if a product is taken out of a product range and no more data is loaded to its product number
You might also want to delete data that is no longer needed, for example because it is already over three years old. You can also selectively delete data that has errors due to its processing in the BW system. On the other hand, data created with errors in the source system should not be selectively deleted. It should be corrected with reverse postings instead.
For DataStore objects with the properties Activate Data and Write Change Log, you can also delete data from the change log selectively. These changes can then be rolled back again, and the deletion can be passed on to other connected InfoProviders. This would not be possible if the data in the change log was unchanged.
