Hi Dallyanusha,

You use transaction /sapapo/msdp_admin and select your

planning area

Double click on your planning area so that the characteristics

and key figures will get displayed

You can modify your existing key figures.

If you are changing your planning area, the existing data will be

lost so back of data is required.

You need to use RSA1 transaction to take backup of your cubes.

HI,

If you are on SCM5.1 or above i guess it is not requried to de-intiaze the planning area.

IF it is SCM 4.1 or below, we need to de-initilise the planning area as you expected.

Assuming you are in 4.1 or lower version,

As i understand from your words, you have created a plannign area newly, so, there will be no Data source generated on it.

To take the backup, we need to have a backup cube and the data source generated for the planning area.

With out taking help of BW team you can do this yourself from Planning area,

Goto MSDP_ADMIN and from the menu goto Extras and choose Generate Datasource to generate DS and use the other option Data extraction tools to create a cube. please refer the SAP HELP for more detail steps.

Once the infocube is ready for backup,

1. Take the backup and do the basic validation agianst planning area data.

2. De-Inialise the planning area and add the keyfigure to planning area

3. Create the timeseris agian and do the consistency check

4. Load back the data to planning area using /SAPAPO/TSCUBE

Hope the information will helps you
