http://help.sap.com/saphelp_bw31/helpdata/en/52/1ddc37a3f57a07e10000009b38f889/content.htm                        https://websmp105.sapag.de/~sapidb/011000358700008387152002                                                                                Multicubes/Multi Providers are performance healthy due to the fact that it provides more flexibility to retrive data, in different ways, and at the same time retrive it faster coz it does it by hitting the cube directly than going thru Dimension and SID tables. It is a just a physical structure not a physical storage of data  The number of base InfoProviders of a Multiprovider is not more than 10                                             As a general rule of thumb, we recommend up to 10 Sub-InfoProviders, that are assigned to a MultiProvider and that are accessed simultaneously for one query; if you use more than this, the overhead in combining results might get too big. (Of course, depending on system resources and configuration, more than 10 Sub-InfoProviders can still result in good performance) .we can view data in multiprioviders not only in reporting level but as in normal cube.

  • Diff b/w Infoset and multiprovider BI 7.0 onwards

    Hi gurus,
    Could somebody tell me the difference b/w Infoset and multiprovider BI 7.0 onwards. I mean earlier we were not able to add cube to an infoset. It allowed us to add only ODS and info object . Since the new version allow us to add cubes too then what is the diff b/w Infoset and multiprovider. Since both of them are full filling the same purpose ?
    Thanks in advance.
    Ashu Gupta.

    Hi,
    Follow there links.
    An InfoSet describes data sources that are usually defined as joins for ODS objects or InfoObjects (characteristics with master data). A time-dependent join or temporal join is a join that contains an InfoObject that is a time-dependent characteristic.
    MultiProvider is a type of InfoProvider that combines data from a number of InfoProviders and makes it available for reporting purposes. The MultiProvider does not itself contain any data. Its data comes entirely from the InfoProviders on which it is based. These InfoProviders are connected to one another by a union operation. 
    InfoProviders and MultiProviders are the objects or views that are relevant for reporting.
    Infoset- Join
    Multiprovider-Union
    Follow there links for multiprovider and infoset.

  • Is there any documentation on 0PA_MP01 (Headcount and Personnel Actions)

    Have not been able to find documentation on multiprovider 0PA_MP01 and its related queries, any idea where to find?
    Cheers.

    Well....the note just states that it is a new multiprovider but with no details.  What we are looking for is something similar to the documentation for the BI Content that SAP provides.
    E.g.

  • Best way for multiprovider documentation?

    Hello,
    I was wondering if someone had a good tip on how to document all the mappings in a multiprovider since there isn't any standard solution for it. And opening every single object to read the mapping and to enter it into a document it is too time consuming and too error sensitive.
    This is one of the biggest missed features. a good and working history for every change. and I'm not talking about the last version only.
    Eg. every time you change a transformation it gets a new tech id so you cant use the abap editor version history.

  • Multiprovider and Authorizations

    Multiprovider and Authorizations:
    The challenge is to ensure you do not have more access trough the multiprovider then you have trough the sourcecubes.
    example:
    Multiprovider, Joining sourcecube 1 + 2 ( Heterogeneous MP combining data from different infoareas)
    Sourcecube 1: Authorizations for company code X+Y
    Sourcecube 2: Authorizations for company code Y+Z
    What company codes in which source cubes will you have access to report on trough the multiprovider?
    1) XYZ from both cubes ?
    2) X from cube 1 , Y from cube 1+2, Z from cube 1
    3) only the common Y from cube 1 +2
    The expected results is scenario 2. Basically the same access/restriction you would get, if reporting directly on the sourcecube's.
    This can of course be tested with a test user with limited authorizations. The obstacle here though is that the authorization setup is defined with roles and a business unit hierarchy authorization object (consisting of several company codes) that is not fully in place yet. Hence the test will not give you a 100 % liable verification.
    Has anyone else faced the same question, or can verify the expected results? I have not found any good documentation on authorization and multiprovider .
    (PS, With Support package 2 for BW 3.0B a new authorization object is available used to define authorizations on a Multiprovider level. S_RS_MPRO - Multiprovider. This gives more flexibility , but is not the answer to the general question)
    Best regards Per Roar

    It depends. When you create an authorization object you decide on which InfoProviders the authorization object is valid. So if it's valid on Cube 1 it doesn't say anything about authorization on the Multiprov.
    Best regards

  • Use of 0REFPER in multiprovider reporting with virtual provider in BCS

    Hi all,
    We're using the multiprovider reporting option in BCS 6.0 / BI7.
    As you may know the data in the 'closed periods' provider is populated with closed requests, which need not necessarily be for individual periods (this is different to BCS 4/BW3.5)
    As far as I understand from my discussion with the BI team, in the 'closed periods' provider each reference period is populated with ALL data for the year (so a January record appears in 0refper = 01,2008 and also 0refper = 02,2008, whereas a February record only appears in 0refper = 02,2008).
    Reporting on a specific reference period will provide data relevant to the hierarchies effective at that reference period.
    BUT when the virtual provider is taken in to account for March, surely the reference period is now 03,2008 - so how will the multiprovider choose any records from the 'closed periods' cube?
    What I'm not sure about is how the BI report should be structured in terms of 0REFPER selection to ensure that the relevant closed period data is selected alongside the virtual provider data.
    I haven't found anything in the help documentation, or the SDN forum - has anyone found a useful source of guidance from SAP?
    If not, has anyone got experence of this?
    (of course, points will be provided for all useful answers).

    Thanks Dan,
    I would caution about the use of 0refper for the multiprovider scenario.
    Have you used the multiprovider scenario? There is good documentation from SAP on how to set it up but nothing on how the queries/reports should be built. When BCS generates the multiprovider and virtual provider, it adds in 0refper (and the others)
    It is my understanding that the closed-period records are stored with cons group as opposed to those of the virtual infoprovider where cons group is only included for posting levels 02, 12, 22 and 30.
    + Thus if the organization/cons groups are changed, it could cause reporting issues unless the closed-period infoprovider is repopulated using the new or changed cons groups.+This was my understanding too, but the BI team are telling me it is NOT required in BCS 6 / BI7.
    I will investigate further an post my analysis back here.
    In the meantime if anyone else has experience of the multiprovider scenario reporting, espcially in BCS 6 / BI7. Then please do post your experiences here.

  • Linking two ODS objects using a multiprovider

    Hello Gurus,
    I need to link two ODS objects and both are having 3 common characteristics and the relationship between the two objects are one to many.
    My questions would be....
    1)When the relationship is one to many can I set it up in the multiprovider to sum it up and show in the report?
    2)I have 5 other charaterstics that I need to report(Slice and dice) on, but these are not common ones to both ODS objects. Is it possible for the user to get the report based on these charaterstics also? Or do I need to make sure that these 5 also exist in both DOS objects?
    Thank you,
    DM

    Hi Sh,
    Thank you very much for your reply. But I have few concerns.
    1)One to many relationship will not have any effect on the data linking since the multiprovider clubs the key figures on common characteristics. I tried this on the system and it worked.
    2)The problem would be not having similar characteristics on both infoproviders. So if I want to report on the chars individually it will have a problem( Will come as non assigned values)
    But the documentation says the multiprovider supports Homogenous and Heterogeneous cases. Please refer the following link.
    http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/52/1ddc37a3f57a07e10000009b38f889/frameset.htm
    I am not sure what I can do now....whether to get all the characteristics in both infoproviders by enhancing the them. Or is there another way?
    And lastly the scenario I am looking at is billing and cost of goods. So I might find records in cost of goods which may not have corresponding records in billing.(There can be goods in stock which need to be billed)The problem would be the way multiprovider link records(union) so it will have all the records from both sides even if they do not correspond to each other.
    Let me know what you think.

  • Automatic creation of BW data flow documentation

    Dear Gurus,
    I need to write documentation of the data flow of a huge project which I haven't implemented by myself.
    The documentation should contain a mapping of the objects in the dataprovider, towards objects in the source system(s).
    Eventually with the info in which dataproviders the objects are included, e.g. between the multiprovider and the source system.
    Details of transformations can be ignored; eventually mentioning there's a routine involved, but that's the maximum.
    With the data repository, I can have the content of cubes in a graphical overview, but it doesn't really provide me useful information.
    You can imagine I prefer an automatic way to create this documentation.
    Anybody who knows a solution, even if it only provides part of the purpose?
    Any solution via query, standard SAP or customized program, ...
    Recommendations would be very highly appreciated!
    Thx & Rgds, sam

    Worldwide documentation is made on SAP BW projects, but no reply on automatic documentation.
    A lot of time must be lost by manually creating documentation on mapping objects to source system fields.
    ==> SAP, please, work out a solution.
    I didn't find a satisfying solution, but I've done it the following way:
    List all objects for a multiprovider via the meta data repository, and paste in excel document.
    Then listing all objects for the underlying dataproviders, and paste in separate sheets of this excel.
    Compare the objects of the MP with the objects on the other sheets using excel functions, and sign when a dataprovider contains a certain object.
    For the datasources, I checked if an object is present, and if yes, give the original source field.
    This in summary as a not optimal and not complete solution, but it prevents making mistakes.

  • Inventory Management MultiProvider 0IC_MC03 - Where does the WIP Come From

    Hi,
    I have installed the primary InfoCube 0IC_C03 for Material Movements and noticed that there is a MultiProvider 0IC_MC03 (Material Range of Coverage WIP )  and I'm curious how this would project WIP?  The Documentation doesn't mention any details about what really makes up this provider other than the primary cube 0IC_C03.
    Where does this MultiProvider get Work in Process Values (WIP)?

  • Max Number of Cubes in a MultiProvider?

    IP documentation recommends that when planning is to be done on a MultiProvider, a maximum of 10 cubes in the Multiprovider should not be exceeded. I am considering a model that will use more than 10 Real Time Cubes because Planners at each site will all be planning on exactly the same  6 or 18 months (0CALMONTH) into the future (potentially at the same time) and they will lock one another because of the common time characteristic and the same keyfigure. I don't want to introduce additional keyfigures to a single cube and would like to consider a cube per site all of which will be in a MultiProvider. I can then build one Open for Input Query which is common to all planners based on the MultiProvider with exit variables to restrict the source of data to exactly (and only) two of the  cubes in the MultiProvider per site (the Site Specific Cube and a common Budget Cube). I feel that this will not involve complex joins and wonder if anyone has any comment on this. Question is what nasties await me for ignoring the max 10 cubes guideline?

    A cube per site! blimey
    Well if you choose to ignore the 10 cube limit (well I strech to a few more sometime) - then from a business point of view what are you going to do if you set up more sites?
    More cubes? then add those cubes to the multiprovider - then the hassle of going through the d-q-p landscape, authorisations etc..
    The 10 cubes limit (ish) is also there for a technical reason - apart from the memory problems with UNIONing that many tables there is also a platform dependant maximum no of tables in a union statement (it is around 250 though!)
    Don;t forget that there are lots of joins already within the UNIONS due to the extended star scheam

  • Universe incomplete on multiprovider

    Hi Experts,
    We need some help here !
    I'm SAP BI, but I'm new in BO. I installed BOXI 3.1 with SAP Integration Kit. We already put all the authorizations as the documentation says, and started to make a universe on a top a BEx Queries and directly on top Infocube, the universe is generated automatically OK ! , in both cases. Then we export them and publish them OK.
    But when we try to create a universe on a top a Multiprovider, it isn't complete. The universe has only some infobjects and key figures of multiprovider. I don´t know why?
    Somebody can help me?
    Thanks & regards,

    use this link to download a registry.
    https://sapmats-us.sap-ag.de/download/download.cgi?id=676IZ2T47Y39PFEU7UKK0JG4GGXY4BY5FYBH3OBRNMMJR4FBTR
    merge the registry to your client and restart the universe designer.
    then create a brand new universe based on the multiprovider. you should get logfiles being created directly on c:\

  • Aggreagtion level in Multiprovider

    Hello all,
    need information on aggregation level.
    What is aggregation level in multiprovider tab and in which scenario we use this tab?
    Thanks,
    Om Ambulker
    Edited by: om4all on Jul 26, 2011 12:25 PM

    Hi Om,
    Transactional cubes are called real time infocubes in BI 7.0 terminology.
    Once you create a real time infocube, you have to go to Tcode 'RSPLAN' which would open up the 'Planning Modeller' in portal.
    You have to define your aggregation level in Portal and it would also be created in the backend.
    Please refer documentation on Integated Planning for further details.
