Virtual InfoProvider Management

NOTE This chapter is dedicated exclusively to virtual InfoProvider management for DSOs/ICUBEs that are assigned under a MultiProvider. More information about ADSOs/DSOs that are assigned under a CompositeProvider is available here.

 

Proceed as follows to manage virtual InfoProviders:

  1. Start transaction /DVD/NLS_MENU.

  2. Select Nearline Storage Menu > NLS Management > Virtual Provider Management for ICUBEs/DSOs.

  3. Maintain the virtual InfoProviders.

  4. Click Save.

The virtual InfoProviders have been managed.

 

WARNING Restrictions: It is not possible to create a virtual InfoProvider with a transient InfoObject.

 

You can either create or delete virtual InfoProviders needed for reporting with a MultiProvider and also adjust queries here.

It is crucial to review the logs after each execution of the program. Logs contain important information about the adjustment process that you can access by clicking Display Logs. For example:

  • If the needed objects were created successfully.

  • If filters (query elements) were successfully imported into the transport request.

  • If a problem occurred, e.g. collision with another request, $TMP objects, SAP standard objects, etc.

Transaction: /DVD/NLS_MENU

 

Managing virtual InfoProviders

 

The main screen provides you with the following options:

  • Create virtual InfoProviders for InfoCubes with DAP. As of SAP BW 7.30, virtual InfoProviders can also be created for DSOs with DAP.

  • Adjust selected/all queries for InfoCubes/DSOs with already created virtual InfoProviders.

  • Delete virtual InfoProviders or only delete adjustments in selected queries.
