Infocube Administration

Administration / Managing of Infocube

The Manage function allows

you to display the contents of
the fact table or the content with
selected characteristics values.
You can also repair and
reconstruct indexes.
Delete requests that have been
loaded with errors, roll up
requests in the aggregates, and
compress the contents of the fact
table.
There are Six tab pages Which
can be accessed by clicking on
Manage option from context
menu on the infocube in RSA1.

Infocube Administration Content Tab

Different views to display the

characteristics, the SIDs for the
characteristics, and the key figure of the
Infocube

The Fact Table displays a list of all

the dimension keys and the key figure
for the individual transaction data
records (content of the fact table)

Use Selective Deletion to delete from

the infocube any data records.

Example: If you select the customer
with customer number XXXX all the
data records that contain this value are
deleted from the Infocube.

During Selective deletion of data :

It is not possible to :

Delete the contents of Infocube

Delete data request by request
Start deleting more data selectively
Archive data
Update data to other info providers

Infocube administration Performance Tab

The Delete Indexes,

Repair Indexes, and

function
on
the

you to improve data

performance.

Before load the data

delete the index

After load the data

InfocubeAdministrationRequestTab
Displays Load information, such as when/by source, Target, No. of records loaded,
Load type etc.

All the data requests that have been loaded into the infocube are displayed on the
request tab.

You delete requests from here as required.

Information on whether the request have been aggregated already is displayed here
You can also see whether the request have been compressed or have been
scheduled for deletion

You can restrict the number of requests that is displayed by specifying a period of time
in the request display row.

The status (red, yellow, or green light) of data load is displayed.

Each request has its own unique request number (request ID).
System uses the request ID (unique key generated by the

system itself) to keep

chronological history of all the updates that have taken place.

Request IDs use to identify the specifics where the error occurred
This Tab provides the Information about all requests run in Infocube

Request is available for Reporting :
The Request is available for reporting , information is displayed when request
status is green.
Data mart status :
When request from Infocube is updated in to additional info providers, the Data mart
status of request is displayed
Note : To show the info provider in to which request has been updated choose

Red traffic light means the problems occurred during processing the request
Only green status after loading can be activated and displayed in the query

Rollup Tab

Filling the aggregates with delta loads is called as rollup

Here we have an option Compress after rollup, if you check this check box
after completing the rollup, compression will be started

Infocube Administration Compression Tab

Compression is moving the data from F fact table to E fact table by losing
its request numbers.
Compression conserves memory space
performance when the data is being read.

and

improves

system

Technically, compressing an Infocube sets all-or just the older load

request IDs to initial.
Data records with identical dimension keys are aggregated.
If you want to avoid the Info Cube containing entries whose key figures
are zero values (in reverse posting for example) you can run a zeroelimination at the same time as the compression. In this case, the entries
where all key figures are equal to 0 are deleted from the fact table.
Note: SAP recommends that you compress the InfoCube as soon as you know that the
request has been loaded correctly and that it will not need to be deleted from the infocube
again.

Infocube Administration Compression Tab

InfocubeAdministrationReconstructTab

The Reconstruct function restores requests that have been loaded into the
infocube and then deleted.

It retrieves data from PSA and load in to data target

Note: The reconstruct tab only works for Infocubes loaded with 3.X data flow objects.
