Error Query from Multiprovider

Question

Hi,
We are creating a Query from a Multiprovider. This Multiprovider was made using one infocube and one ODS. When we run the Query the data from ODS are not being displayed. If  the Query contains only characteristics from ODS, the Query display data.
If  the Query contains only characteristics from Infocube, the Query display data. But when the Query contains characteristics from both InfoProviders the data  are not being displayed.
The following example tries explain better the issue.
There're 2 infoproviders infocube X and ODS Y we want to report as combined.
Both of them have order number 0DOC_NUM and order item 00RD_ITEM in common.
Cube A keeps order item based key figures: S Keyfigure &
D Keyfigure.
ODS B has detail order item based characteristics Char1 & Char2, which don't exist in cube A.
Cube A
Order Number___Order Item____S Keyfigure___D Keyfigure
100_______________10____________25___________23______
100_______________20____________45___________40______
100_______________30____________30___________30______
ODS B
Order Number____Order Item_____Char1________Char2
100_______________10____________SSS_________Blue______
100_______________20____________TTT_________Blue______
100_______________30____________SSS_________Black____
We want the query to display the way below:
Order Number_Order Item__Char1___Char2____S KF___D KF
100____________10________SSS____Blue_____25______23
100____________20________TTT____Blue_____45______40
100____________30________SSS____Black____30______30
But when we combine these two in a multiprovider, query result doesn't list the data from ODS.
Can you help us with this?
Thanks..

Answer 1

That means the multi provider is not making any union, because the chars in the cube and that in the ODS are disjoint. Try if you can acheive this with an infoset and I doubt you cant.
Altervatively, you can make the report via the same cube if you have a logic for combining the chars in the cube with that in the ODS and update the cube with that char in the ODS. You need to revisit the data model and design.
