Choose InfoCube Maintenance ® Edit ® Analyze InfoCube and check the data consistency of an InfoCube according to various technical aspects.

To do this check, you need a detailed, technical understanding of the data structure in BW, preferably, you are an administrator.

You have created an InfoCube and would like to use it in reporting.

The screen provides you with a series of check options that are broken down in the following categories:

• Information about the InfoCube

• InfoCube definition

• InfoCube fact table, dimensions, SID table, master data table

• Tests with the entry of additional parameters

After executing one or several checks, you receive a status message by way of traffic light symbols (red, yellow, green).

Execute: Using this function, you can start one or more checks that were previously chosen from the list.

Execute in the Background: Using this function, you can start one or several checks that were previously chosen from the list, and generate a print list. This is a particular advantage with larger InfoCubes especially, where a check can be very time consuming, and direct execution would result in a time-out.

Results: Using this function, you can display the results of your checks.

• gray: Comment

• yellow: Warning

• red: Error

Repair: If the system offers it, you can use this function to automatically repair errors that have arisen.

Information: Using this function, you can display additional information for a check that you previously chose, by clicking with the mouse.
