InfoProvider-specific Settings

In some cases, InfoObjects in PartProviders can have predefined provider-specific properties (e.g. predefined value of 0FISCPER). In this case, such properties are also copied to the objects in the created virtual InfoProvider.

InfoProvider-specific properties

Using BadIs

If a BAdI is not used, the names of virtual InfoProvider are created as OTBVP. If the BAdI is used, you must create the implementation for the BAdI /DVD/NLS_VP_NAME_DEF.

Parameters of the BAdI:

i_cube_name

Technical name of InfoProvider

i_cube_txtlg

Long description of InfoProvider

c_vcube_name

Technical name of virtual InfoProvider

c_vcube_txtlg

Long description of virtual InfoProvider

Once the virtual InfoProviders are no longer needed, i.e. due to upgrading SAP BW, you can delete them. The deletion process is described later on in this documentation.
