Remodeling is one of the good feature in BI.

You can't add a char to existing Cube/ODS with data in 3.5 but in BI, we can do it

As of SAP NetWeaver 7.0, you can change the structure of InfoCubes into which you have already loaded data, without losing the data. You have the following remodeling options:

For characteristics:

● Inserting, or replacing characteristics with:

○ Constants ( Ex '0' )

○ Attribute of an InfoObject within the same dimension

○ Value of another InfoObject within the same dimension

○ Customer exit (for user-specific coding).

● Delete

For key figures:

● Inserting:

○ Constants

○ Customer exit (for user-specific coding).

● Replacing key figures with:

○ Customer exit (for user-specific coding).

● Delete

SAP NetWeaver 7.0 does not support the remodeling of InfoObjects or DataStore objects. This is planned for future releases.

Effects on Existing Data

As a precaution, make a back-up of your data before you start remodeling.

Effects on System Administration

Before you start remodeling, make sure:

● You have stopped any process chains that run periodically and affect the corresponding InfoProvider. Do not restart these process chains until remodeling is finished.

● There is enough available tablespace on the database.

After remodeling, check which BI objects that are connected to the InfoProvider (transformation rules, MultiProviders, queries and so on) have been deactivated. You have to reactivate these objects manually.
