●      You have created a new InfoSet.

●      You have selected the Change function from the context menu of an InfoSet entry in the InfoProvider tree of the Modeling function area in the Data Warehousing Workbench.

●      You have called the InfoSet Builder transaction, and selected the This graphic is explained in the accompanying text Change function. For more information see Additional Functions in the InfoSet Builder.

Procedure

...

       1.      The Change InfoSet screen is displayed.

Choose a layout for the InfoProvider tree:

This graphic is explained in the accompanying text InfoAreas

This graphic is explained in the accompanying text Related InfoProvider

This graphic is explained in the accompanying text All DataStore Objects

This graphic is explained in the accompanying text All InfoObjects

This graphic is explained in the accompanying text All InfoCubes

The default value is Related InfoProviders. Changed settings are personalized and stored if you leave InfoSet maintenance with F3. They are available in your next call.

For more information on the screen layout, particularly the layout of the InfoProvider tree, see Screen Layout: Changing InfoSets.

       2.      You use the This graphic is explained in the accompanying text Where-Used List function to determine which BI objects use the InfoSet that you have selected. The Data Warehousing Workbench: Where-Used List screen appears. This shows you the effects of changing the InfoSet. This helps you to decide whether you want to make these changes at this particular time.

       3.      You define or change the InfoSet by adding one or more InfoProviders to the join.

In join control, there are several ways to add an InfoProvider:

○       From the InfoProvider tree:

■       Transfer the required InfoProvider by double-clicking on the appropriate entry in the InfoProvider tree.

■       Use drag and drop to transfer the required InfoProvider.

○       To add a particular InfoProvider irrespective of the current display of the InfoProvider tree, choose This graphic is explained in the accompanying text Add InfoProvider. The dialog box with the same name appears. Enter the required data.

Recommendation

If you know the technical name of the InfoProvider that you want to add, this method is quicker than switching the layout of the InfoProvider tree.
