Error Reading the Data of InfoProvider 0BCS_VC11

[Former Member]

Guys,

I have an issue.  I encountered an error message (Error reading the data of InfoProvider 0BCS_VC11).  This error is generating when we run a workbook, query or run same query in RSRT (only for period 4)........periods 1 - 3 ran fine.  The details is as follows:

This happens in production and the same was ran in dev and quality but ran correctly without any errors.  Let me just say that this happened a week after our upgrade to SAP Netweaver 7.30.  Running for periods 1 - 3 works fine in production, but we are having issues running for period "4" or "1 - 4".  Data is coming fine in the MultiProvider directly in BW for all periods mentioned above.

Does anybody have a solution to this problem or have encountered this?  This is needed for month end closing and I would appreciate any resonse back.

Thanks,

Timi

Error Message:

__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Diagnosis

Errors occurred while reading a VirtualProvider outside the BI system. Check whether the previous error messages contain any information about the possible cause of this error.

It is possible that the error message cannot be displayed because the error message class does not exist in the BI system. If this is the case, only the name of the error class and the message number are displayed. View the error message text in the specified error class in the source system of the VirtualProvider.

System Response

Procedure

Since the error is not necessarily in the BI system, there is no specific procedure for resolving it. With VirtualProviders, problems often occur with the connection to the remote system; these can lead to system termination. If the code for the VirtualProvider is not from SAP, contact the relevant contact person to help resolve the issue.

If an SQL error is listed in the previous message, see the procedure for SQL errors.

Hi Timi,

      I've not faced such an error but its just an attempt to answer by going through the error message. From the error message we get an idea that the report is being executed on a BI system and the data is being read from a different system. Please check if the RFC connection between the two systems is fine. It is strange that the data for a specific selection only gives the error. So my question would be to know if the infoproviders considered have been partitioned to hold data related to only 3 months. For example Infoprovider A contains data from calmonth 01.2013 to 03.2013, infoprovider B contains data from calmonth 04.2013 to 06.2013 and so on, and these infoproviders are in turn accessed through a multiprovider on which you have the workbook ?

Please run the query related to the workbook through transaction RSRT. Make sure that you click on the messages button and not suppress any messages. This is to find any message that is being suppressed and not visible in the workbook, as your question has the below statement:

Check whether the previous error messages contain any information about the possible cause of this error.

Hope this helps,

Dear Manohar, From my understanding Jone's issue is a classic case of "Error when reading the data of the.. " Virtual Infoprovider, mostly via Direct Access. Virtual cube 0BCS_VC11 Consolidation (Company/Cons Profit Center) is usually prone to such issues due to system availability. The solution was to update table RSSEM_UCR0_IPD with the virtual infoprovider and the corresponding transactional infoprovider. To update the table go to transaction UC00. Select the following menu path SEM: Business Consolidation: Configuration Menu -> BW -> Virtual Cubes: Destination SAP BW -> SAP SEM/BCS -> press button Append Row and add the entry eg (1) Virtual infoprovider causing the problem; (2) corresponding transactional infoprovider. Please take care as this solution may not be applicable for the BW & SEM version that you are using. If this is FI, then use BADI UC_DATATRANSFER. Also, http://scn.sap.com/thread/333501.

Thanks Manohar and Arun, I will try to implement this and let you know the outcome.

Hi,

Step 1

Is their any difference in your landscape?

DEV - QUA - PRO ?

In terms on SP / Notes ?

Try to Sync your landscape because you said that this is not giving any prob in DEV and QUA,

Step 2

Check consistency check in RSRV for both Infoprovider and Query ?

If every thing is good then immediately raise an OSS Mess to SAP because this might be some bug or missing some note.

Thank You,

Sreenath.

Hi All,

Sorry for the late reply.  Something weared happened because the query and the workbooks just started working on it's own but this happened only after data was extracted directly from the MP in BW for all data for only period 4 that we have issue with.

Late that evening the users communicated that they were now able to run the reports successfully for period 4.  I do not know whether this happened because the Infoproviders were toched/refreshed or something in the backend.  Hence, issue resolved on it's own.  I was going to implement Arun's suggestion but did not even get there while I was waiting for my FF access in PROD.

Thanks all !!!
