Cube Remodelling in BI 7.0

Question

Here is my scenario.
I am working on a cube ZC_IC05 and this cube is compressed every month.
Dimension 1 - 0material
Dimension 2 - 0plant
Dimension 3 - 0mat_plant (0mat_plant has 0plant compounding)
For some reason 0mat_plant is incorrectly populated in the cube. So I would like to correct it by re-populating as 0mat_plant = 0material.
Can this be achieved using Cube remodelling???
Appreciate any help!

Dear Anirudh
Remodeling, it's the way to change data model already exist.When you add a characteristic or key figure to an existing data model, you must check if the existing data in InfoCube must be enriched with the new information (characteristic o key figure). According your question "For some reason 0mat_plant is incorrectly populated in the cube. So I would like to correct it by re-populating as 0mat_plant = 0material" is relationship to enrich your historical data with the new information, in this cases as Visahl said, you must delelte the data in your InfoCube insert the new InfoObject "0material" and reload the data. Before do this, integrate the new characteristic in the data flow.
Otherwise, you can use a remodeling rule that is a collection of changes to your InfoCube that you perform simultaneously. For characteristics, you can add or replace characteristics with the following: a constant, an attribute of an InfoObject of the same dimension, a value of another InfoObject of the same dimension, a customer exit.
You can remodel InfoProviders in the transaction RSA1 choosing Additional Functions -> Remodeling in the context menu for your InfoProvider in the InfoProvider tree.
After that you should be create a remodeling rule. Enter a desccription for remodeling rule and choose the InfoProvider "ZC_IC05" and choose Create. After that, choose add operation to list, and choose remplace characteristic and you must specify the new characteristic "0material" is to be filled. And mapping for characteristic, in other words, the new characteristic "0material" is filled with the values of another characteristic, to adopt  the values of the original, for example"0mat_plant". Choose "Transfer" and save your specefication. Choose Check and choose impact analysis to display a list of the objects affected by remodeling. To the last step it is "Schedule" to start the remodeling and monitor.
Because it is a new functionality of BI 7.0 be carefull make a copy of the InfoProvider "ZC_IC05" before do the remodeling
I hope these comments join of the rest can help you!
