After creating a BW accelerator index, you have to activate it and fill it with initial data before you can use it when executing a query. See Indexing BW Data in SAP NetWeaver BW Accelerator.

For technical information about this process, see Activating and Filling SAP NetWeaver BW Accelerator Indexes.

For all indexable object types, you can add this process to a process chain for automatic execution (process type Create/Fill BWA Index Initially. See Application Process). This periodic update is particularly useful for queries as InfoProviders.

If you have loaded new data packages (requests) into the InfoCube, you have to roll these data packages up to the BW accelerator index before the data is available in reporting. See Rolling Up Data in SAP NW BW Accelerator Indexes.
