Multiproviders in Infosets

[Former Member]

Hello,

Is it possible in 7.0 to include multiproviders in infosets? I am testing it now and get what seems to be a warning message, "The data from the infoprovider involved could not be checked!" Does this mean its not possible? If not what does it mean?

Thanks,

TMS

Hi,

You can now include InfoCubes in an InfoSet and use them in a join. InfoCubes are handled logically in InfoSets like DataStore objects. This is also true for time dependencies. In an InfoCube, data that is valid for different dates can be read.

Restrictions:

For performance reasons you cannot define an InfoCube as the right operand of a left outer join. SAP does not generally support more than two InfoCubes in an InfoSet.

Kams,

So does this mean that multiproviders are not possible?

Hi,

As far as I know you can not create info set on multi provider.

MultiProviders cannot be inside of an InfoSet. Only InfoObjects, DSOs and InfoCubes are possible. InfoSets can be in MultiProviders. This is an efficiency nightmare though, because the InfoSets are virtual and have to be generated on the fly first and then incorporated into the MutliProvider, which is also virtual (like a derived table made of joins inside of a derived table made of a union).
