Characteristic combination cannot be assigned to a part provider

358 Views

Hi,

I have a requirement wherein I need to copy data from one cube to another using a Multiprovider.

CubeA has the characteritic "charA" which has attributes "atrA", "atrB" which are part of the cube and are derived through Characteristic Relationship on CubeA.

CubeB has the characteritic "charA" .

"atrA", "atrB" are not part of CubeB.

Now I defined a Multiprovider on CubeA and CubeB which has ALL the characteristics of both the cubes ( MP1 ).

In the Aggregation level built on MP1 , I have selected "atrA", "atrB" since I need to use them in FOX calculations.(NOT as fields to be changed , but as Used in Conditions in FOX). There is no need of transferring/changing/posting these values to the Target CubeB.

When I try to execute the Plang Function, system throws an error:

+"Characteristic combination cannot be assigned to a part provider "

Characteristic: 'atrA' ; Characteristic value: 'O' +

The above error is removed when I included "atrA", "atrB" in the target cube (CubeB) also.

Now my question is, do i need to really need to include them in the target cube? I only need those to use them in conditions in FOX and nothing else.

Rgds
