You can run a preview of the TransientProvider derived from an operational data provider (ODP) and run a consistency check on the TransientProvider.
Call transaction RSRTS_ODP_DIS.
Under ODP Name
, select the ODP used to derive the TransientProvider that you want to display.
Note
If you want to analyze a query ODP, choose Select Using Query
to find the required ODP. The queries that are defined directly on a TransientProvider are displayed.
Choose which version of the ODP to use the preview for: You can choose between the version that has a current connector (active version
) and that version that is currently saved in the search and analysis model (modeled version
).
If you choose a modeled version, you can also specify which software component the displayed ODP should be read from.
Choose (Execute
).
The preview appears for the TransientProvider derived from the selected ODP. The preview shows the TransientProvider in a tree structure:
Tree Structure Element |
Description |
1st Level (Root Node) TransientProvider |
The root node of the tree displays the following information:
|
2nd Level ODP which the TransientProvider is derived from |
The ODP node displays the following information:
|
3rd Level InfoObject Categories - Dimensions |
The InfoObject categories are based on the InfoProvider display in BEx Query Designer:
|
4th Level InfoObjects |
The following information is displayed for InfoObjects (from left to right):
|
5th Level and Further Levels |
If a characteristic has master data, texts or hierarchies, the characteristic node can be expanded. The level below this displays the associated ODPs. The ODP node displays the following information:
If you expand an associated ODP, the following symbols indicate whether and how the ODP fields are used in the TransientProvider:
|
The following functions are available in the TransientProvider preview:
Display ODP search and analysis model
If you have selected an ODP, you can go to the associated search and analysis model screen by double-clicking the ODP or by choosing (Display Model
).
Show ODP Details
You can display the following information:
For a projection ODP: the name of the associated data extraction ODP
For a join ODP field: the path leading through the node to the origin field (naming convention: <name of search and analysis model>.<node name>
)
To show or hide the details of an individual ODP, select the relevant ODP and choose Details On/Off
.
To show the details for all the ODPs used by the TransientProvider, choose
. Use the "Hide Details" menu command to hide the details.Show Associations
You can show information on the associations of associated ODPs. The associations are displayed in a node above the relevant ODP. Symbols indicate the data type and association type (modeled or generated). The foreign key relationship is also shown.
To show the details for all the ODPs used by the TransientProvider, choose
. After this option has been activated, any expanded nodes are collapsed and the screen resets to the initial view. Use the "Association Off" menu command to hide the details.Check ODP Metadata in the TransientProvider
To check the consistency of the metadata in the TransientProvider, choose (Check Metadata
).
The system checks the ODP that the TransientProvider is derived from, together with all ODPs that are used by the TransientProvider (ODPs that provide navigation attributes for example) and displays the application log in a popup.
Note
Note that the metadata check is always run for the modeled version of the ODP - even if you have opened the TransientProvider preview for the active version.
Display activation status of ODPs and DataSources used by the TransientProvider
Choose (green
) status. If no active version exists, the (red
) status is displayed.
