Procedure documentation Creating MultiProviders  Locate the document in its SAP Library structure

Prerequisites

There is an active version of each InfoObject that you want to transfer to the MultiProvider. Create any InfoObjects that you require that do not already exist and activate them.

Instead of creating a new MultiProvider, you can install a MultiProvider from SAP Business Content.

Procedure

       1.      Create an InfoArea to which you want to assign the new MultiProvider.

Choose Modeling InfoProvider.

       2.      In the context menu of the InfoArea, choose Create MultiProvider.

       3.      Enter a technical name and a description.

       4.      Choose This graphic is explained in the accompanying text Create.

       5.      Select the InfoProvider that you want to form the MultiProvider. Choose This graphic is explained in the accompanying text Continue. The MultiProvider screen appears.

       6.      Use drag and drop to transfer the required InfoObjects into your MultiProvider. You can also transfer entire dimensions.

       7.      Use Identify Characteristics and Select Key Figures to make InfoObject assignments between MultiProviders and InfoProviders.

Note

In a MultiProvider, each InfoObject in the MultiProvider must correspond to exactly one InfoObject in each of the InfoProviders involved (as long as it is available in the MultiProvider). If this mapping is not clear, you have to specify the InfoObject to which you want to assign the InfoObject in the MultiProvider.

See also, Consistency Check for Compounding.

       8.      Save or Activate the MultiProvider. Only active MultiProviders are available for analysis and reporting.
