Error when Executing the Report - No Authorization for Multiprovider

Question

Hello Experts,
After the upgrade has carried out in my Quality system, I'm unable to execute a query because of the authorization issue with Multiprovider. But earlier the same Authorization was assigned to the my ID.
The Role in Q and the Role in P is same. Right now P is with 3.1 and Q is with BI7.
In both the system I have the same Role. But in Q it says that: Error You have no Authorization for Multiprovider XXXX
This is happening for only one Multiprovider in Quality system. There is no change in the Multiprovider from earlier structure to the present structure.
Can anyone give me any idea as to how to solve this issue?
Many thanks in Advance..
Thanks

Ok,
Pick up a test user (or your user) and go to transaction su01.
Check the roles that are assigned.
Double-click in each one and choose display. Go to tab authorizations and click on the glasses icon of displaying authorizations data. Then go to menu->Utilities->Technical names On.
You should see the tree with the node name Business Information Warehouse (technical name RS), if you don't see this in this role, than the issue it's not in this role, go back to su01 and check another role the same process until you find this node.
If you expand this node you'll see another nodes, one of them is called Data Warehousing Workbench - InfoCube (technical name S_RS_ICUBE). And you probably can't find another node called Data Warehousing Workbench - MultiProvider (technical name S_RS_MPRO), this is the new node you want.
In the node S_RS_ICUBE expand it and you'll see the authorizations given to InfoCubes with activity, InfoArea and InfoCube. In the older system BW 3.x this object was used to give access to InfoCubes, but also to MultiCubes. So you have to find the role that has this object with InfoCube with the value of MultiCube or with all values, for example, you could have this node in your role with the following values:
Activity                       03                 
InfoCube Subobject     DATA               
InfoArea                     ZFI*               
InfoCube                    ZFIAA_C11, ZFIAA_C13, ZFIAA_M02
or with:
Activity                       03                 
InfoCube Subobject     DATA               
InfoArea                     ZFI*               
InfoCube                    *
or with:
Activity                       03                 
InfoCube Subobject     DATA               
InfoArea                     ZFI*               
InfoCube                    ZFI*
Something like that. The first example give access to specific InfoCubes and one MultiCube, the second one you'll have all the InfoCubes and MultiCubes inside the InfoArea started  with name ZFI and the third one you'll have all InfoCubes and all MultiCubes started with name ZFI that belongs to the InfoArea started with name ZFI also.
Got the picture?
So in BI 7 MultiCubes are now controlled by the new object S_RS_MPRO instead of the older object S_RS_ICUBE. What you should do is go to transaction pfcg and insert the role you want to include (or change these new values, i.e., the role that has the access to the MultiCube values inside the object S_RS_ICUBE which the query is built on) the new object S_RS_MPRO and click on change. Go to tab authorizations and click on change authorization data. Then click on manually (ctrlshiftF9) and insert the object S_RS_MPRO. Inside this new object you should insert the authorization data for accessing your multiproviders.
In the 3 examples above you should create these 3 entries:
Activity                          03                 
InfoArea                         ZFI*
MultiProvider                  ZFIAA_M02
MultiProvider Subobject  DATA                              
or with:
Activity                          03                 
InfoArea                        ZFI*               
MultiProvider                  *
MultiProvider Subobject  DATA                              
or with:
Activity                         03                 
InfoArea                        ZFI*               
MultiProvider                 ZFI*
MultiProvider Subobject  DATA                              
Therefore you continue to have the object S_RS_ICUBE to control only the InfoProviders plus the new object S_RS_MPRO to control the MultiProviders.
Now generate the profile(s), save the role(s) and test it again!
