DATA_MODE=HYBRID

Question

Hello,
I read in SAP help that:
"When you add the DATA_MODE=HYBRID parameter to the URL, the system uses pre-calculated data, provided that precalculated data is available for the Data Provider.
If no pre-calculated data is available, the system requests current data from the OLAP processor, as in the NEW mode. "
My question is why not to add it to every quary? Is it possible that the data i'll get wont be updated?
Please Advice,
David

Hi,
This DATA_MODE is basically used to which data this will report will act upon.
When The DATA_MODE= HYBRID then the report will work on the data pre-calculated data that is already been scheduled in RA otherwise it will work on the new data. This is just to differentiate b/w the data we are interested in. When we execute the with DATA_MODE= HYBRID it will show the report for which pre-calulation has already been happened in background in Reporting Agent.
I am sending the details below.
Viewing the Pre_Caluclated Web Template :
   To call up the web template with a particular data mode, add optional parameter to URL generated by the BEX Web Application and assign the value to it.
Following values for DATA_MODE parameters are available
a) Data mode DATA_MODE=NEW
When you add the DATA_MODE=NEW parameter to the URL, the system uses the most current data. The system uses the most current data even when this parameter is not set.
b) Data mode DATA_MODE=STORED
When you add the DATA_MODE=STORED parameter to the URL, the system only accesses pre-calculated data. An error message is displayed if no data is available.
c) Data mode DATA_MODE=HYBRID
When you add the DATA_MODE=HYBRID parameter to the URL, the system uses pre-calculated data, provided that precalculated data is available for the Data Provider.
If no pre-calculated data is available, the system requests current data from the OLAP processor, as in the NEW mode.
d) Data mode DATA_MODE=STATIC
When you add the DATA_MODE=STATIC parameter to the URL, the system only accesses pre-calculated HTML pages.
An error message is displayed if no data is available.
e) Data mode DATA_MODE=STATIC_HYBRID
When you add the DATA_MODE=STATIC_HYBRID parameter to the URL, the system uses pre-calculated HTML pages, provided that pre-calculated HTML pages are available for the Data Provider. If no pre-calculated HTML pages are available, the system searches for pre-calculated data, as in the STORED mode. If no pre-calculated data is available, the system requests current data from the OLAP processor, as in the NEW mode.
To call the above Pre-calculated Web template add DATA_MODE=STORED to the URL generated.
