As you SAP Gurus out there knew, it is quite hard to read directly from InfoProviders. One of the reasons why you create DatastorageObjects is to have the possibility to read on it via SELECT.
Thus, my dear friends, has not to be.
The nice people of SAP has produced a function method which allows you, with proper use – to read directly in your InfoProviders and select as simple as you like. You may wonder what i’m talking about. I talk about the function
RSDRI_INFOPROV_READ
. Many good men and women had try to solve the use of this freakin’ module and has suffered from it.
I hope that the followin code examples will light your days as it has mine. Thanks, rewards, updates, comments are very welcome.

Be honest – if we had encountered in the pub – I would get at least a beer sponsored for this, right?

It’s quite funny who reads this site: From all over the world – china, usa, germany – all big companys
Have fun – leave a comment to all the other BI Developers around
Hi, Your program is very helpful and I really appreciate you putting out there.
I am going through the code and see how to utilize the logic. I got 2 questions:
Question 1:
When I look at my system, I don’t find the
“generic structure with ALL Characteristics and Keyfigures of the Cube, the system doesn’t not have those ‘J’ table created.
CONCATENATE ‘/bic/v’ cube ‘j’ INTO cube_struct.
* cube_struct = ‘YOUR_STRUCTURE’.
Just wonder is this automatic system generate? or need some steps to activate them? Or I can just create my own base on the characterisitc and keyfigures I need to be returned??
Question 2:
In the follow ling, the field symbol is missing variable is missing, does it really required?
FIELD-SYMBOLS: TYPE ANY.
Thank You very much and greatly appreciate you putting such helpful information to share.
Best Regards
Ken
1: You should look in the transaction SE11 under “Structures/Dataelements” as the “j” Structure is no table.
It is generated so it should exists on any BI-system and for any Cube.
You can of course use your own structure this is why the commented line is declared:
* cube_struct = ‘YOUR_STRUCTURE’.
2: yes – this is wordpress syntax highlight-module – i corrected the missing field-symbol. If any-how an Field-symbol goes missing. quote a comment again please.
And to mention it again : be carefull when using your own structure – the aggregation behaviour of the cubes take place.
Hi Joe,
I would like to use your programm, but unfortunately face some difficulties.
The relevant key figure in my cube is compunded to a currency. This currency refers to 0Currency. When I execute the programm I get the following error message:
Inkonsistent Entry Parameter (Parameter: sfc-sidreturnnm or keyreturnnm, Value “INFOOBJECT”)
When debugging it seems that there is an unsuccessful change fromt DDIC to ABAP type.
Any idea how i can solve this problem?
Thanks in advance!
Hi Hauke,
hmm – the error-message seems to say that this infoobject is not present in the cube. This can be a result of
a) Missing spelling of the InfoObject
b) it is not present in the cube
so i suggest have a look into the /BIC/V*yourcubetechname*J structure and copy the name of the 0CURRENCY into the program, if it exists.
Maybe i’m wrong – than the ST22-Dump message would be helpfull.
Hi Joe,
thanks for your fast reply!
a) or b) do not apply.
I also changed your program to prevent the InfoObjekt from being inserted into e_th_sfc and addet 0Currency instead. Now the error message states correctly, that 0Currency is not part of the cube…
If I find reason and solution, I will let you know
Hauke
Hi Joe! Thank you for a very helpful piece – I’m sure this will avoid many problems that many of us have.
(
However, I personally didn’t succeed in making use of RSDRI_INFOPROV_READ when getting “most recent data” from InfoCube (=”yellow” request containing some new data inserted by planning via APO interface).
Perhaps, you could advise some parameter in this Function Module that can fix it? (I tried I_USE_AGGREGATES and I_ROLLUP_ONLY – all in vain
Best regards,
Nastya
Hi Nastya,
that is in fact a good question. I haven’t tried this yet for myself.
and
should not work from their description.
I would suggest to use
with the Request-ID(s) of the “yellow” request. I don’t know if you have to use also all other requests of the Cube…
In old BW3.5 times there was a variable to set in the planing-query to get the “yellow” requests…
I knew you know got the Problem of “where the hell shall i got the Requ.Ids” – but i can’t help you on that for fast. Maybe you just try if this work. I would be happy if you share the result here
Thank you for reply, Joe!
So far there’s not much to report – I_T_REQUID seems to be of no use as well.
When limited to “yellow” REQID it returns zero values for both – new and old (=”green”) records. That meaning that “most recent”data can’t be reached yet.
I’m aware about a 3.5 variable, but when looked at a generated query programm in RSRT, I didn’t find any *INFOPROV*READing FM there – it seems that BEx queries amazingly use another mechanism of reading data..
Anyway, thank you again for taking time to answer!
Hi Nastya,
are you aware that the Request-ID have – in fact – two kinds of keys – and the question is which one of this keys the parameter wants?
The Request-IDs can have a ID that looks like:
or
Just because you quoted that you got also a zero for sending a “green” Request in – that is not what i would expect.
Got it!
In order to reach data in “yellow” requests one should run RSDRI_INFOPROV_READ with following parameters:
together with (! necessary!)
where lt_reqrange is filled exactly with the “yellow” request only.
This sample code will let you fill “lt_reqrange” correctly:
ls_reqrange TYPE RSDR0_S_REQUID ,
lt_reqrange TYPE RSDR0_T_REQUID .
* Forming restrictions by request
CLEAR lt_reqrange.
DATA: is_request type mch_s_part ,
it_request type standard table of mch_s_part .
* Get a list of all requests in your info-cube
CALL FUNCTION 'RSSM_ICUBE_REQUESTS_GET'
EXPORTING
I_INFOCUBE = 'YOURINFOCUBE'
* I_RSMDATASTATE_UPDATE = ' '
* I_DATE_FROM = '00000000'
I_DATE_TO = '99991231'
* I_WITHOUT_TEXTS = ' '
IMPORTING
E_T_REQUEST = it_request
* EXCEPTIONS
* WRONG_INFOCUBE = 1
* INTERNAL_ERROR = 2
* OTHERS = 3
.
IF SY-SUBRC 0.
* MESSAGE ID SY-MSGID TYPE SY-MSGTY NUMBER SY-MSGNO
* WITH SY-MSGV1 SY-MSGV2 SY-MSGV3 SY-MSGV4.
ENDIF.
* Select from the list the yellow one and insert it into lt_reqrange
LOOP AT it_request into is_request WHERE report IS INITIAL .
ls_reqrange-OPT = 'EQ'.
ls_reqrange-REQLOW = is_request-partnr .
ls_reqrange-REQHIGH = '' .
INSERT ls_reqrange INTO TABLE lt_reqrange.
ENDLOOP .
In order to get ALL data from the infocube you just need to call RSDRI_INFOPROV_READ twice, second time without any restrictions by request and rollup mode but then don’t forget to COLLECT keyfigures.
All the best!
Nice one – thank you very much for sharing this peace of information. But in order to use the aggregation-behaviour of the cube you should use the function
- if i may suggest…
Hi all,
The example you’d given for info_reader is very helpful and i thank you all for that
Here i am facing a problem with the parameter ‘i_t_range’ – select options, I have filled elements of this parameter as shown but regarless of my selection it brings some more data from cube. It would be very much helpful for me if somebody can resolve my issue. The value apppending to i_t_range is as shown below,
g_s_range-chanm = 'GCSLOCT'.
g_s_range-sign = 'I'.
g_s_range-compop = 'EQ'.
g_s_range-low = s_plant-low. "changes for looping sceanrio
APPEND g_s_range TO g_t_range.
ENDLOOP.
It should fetch data for the plant which i given in s_plant-low(select option) only but it returns other plants too in the output internal table e_t_data.
This is for plant, and I am appending some material,version and period into the i_t_range table and for which it returns the corrct values only.The problem’s with the plant input selection only.
so can anybody help me with this,,
thanks in advance.
Ashir ck
Dear Ashir,
try this please:
it is possible that the range doesn’t have the right format so:
g_s_range-chanm = ‘GCSLOCT’. "This looks wrong - your infoobject should start with '0' or with 'Z'
g_s_range-sign = ‘I’.
g_s_range-compop = ‘EQ’.
clear z_infoobjekt. z_infoobjekt = s_plant-low.
g_s_range-low = z_infoobjekt. “changes for looping sceanrio
APPEND g_s_range TO g_t_range.
ENDLOOP.
Also look in the example where this was in the selection-tab:
z_infoobjekt = 'my_selection'.
w_seloption-chanm = 'Z_INFOOBJEKT'. "technical name of InfoObjekt
w_seloption-sign = 'I'. " Include
w_seloption-compop = 'EQ'. " EQUAL
w_seloption-low = z_infoobjekt. "
APPEND w_seloption TO r_seloption.
Hi Joe,
Can I use your code in BW infocubes?
Kind regards
Hi Jorge,
i don’t understand your question. You can use the code as you please – as long as you respect the bsd-license (which effectivly means to keep the comments about the bsd license and the orignal source owner).
Or do you mean something else?
Hi Joe, thanks for the post, helped me a lot.
I got a performance issue here. Im using the FM RSDRI_INFOPROV_READ to read an infocube that has a lot of data and the FM is taking too long – about 10 minutes – to return the values to my main program.
I’m trying to use aggregates setting both I_ROLLUP_ONLY and I_USE_AGGREGATES as rs_c_true, but I’m not sure if the FM is actually using them.
Do you know if BW consider those access when it shows the usage statistics of the aggregates?
Hey,
i think it uses aggregates – but had never tried it myself. You can test it – when monitoring transaction SM50 by looking at the tables the process read. It should read then on the tables of the aggregate.
If it takes that long – can you try to run it as background job? Another way is to split the read into one ore more background jobs with part-selections.
A Background-Read looks like this:
lv_info like rfcsi.
call function
'RSDRI_INFOPROV_READ_RFC'
starting new task con_task
performing result on end of task
*** xxx ***
form result using con_task.
receive results from function 'RSDRI_INFOPROV_READ_RFC'
importing
e_end_of_data = lv_info
* E_RFCDATA_UC = g_uc_string
tables
i_t_sfc = g_t_mak_sfc
i_t_sfk = g_t_mak_sfk
i_t_range = g_t_mak_range
e_t_rfcdata = g_t_rfcdata
* E_T_RFCDATAV =
e_t_field = g_t_field
exceptions
communication_failure = 1
system_failure = 2.
endform.
Just a little update:
I used this function to be in a virtual infoprovider and used the same function to read on the virtual infoprovider. This does not work! It raises an x_message.
So just use the following instead of the RSDRI_INFOPROV_READ:
infoprov = cube. " Just for type-matching.
data: s_r_infoprov type ref to cl_rsdri_infoprov.
create object s_r_infoprov
