Data Flow

This graphic is explained in the accompanying text.

The Extractor Framework (EFWK) transfers the data from the monitoring and alerting infrastructure to the associated BI of the SAP Solution Manager. Data is written by EFWK jobs directly to the following DSOs:

DSO	Data
0UIMAGGR	Aggregate buffer
0UIMBUFF	Raw data buffer
0UIMLAST	Latest values returned
0UIMVAL1, 0UIMVAL2	DSO for values in the last 24 hours

Note Note

The DSOs in a cell are twin DSOs, as explained under twin cubes, under Passing and Saving MAI Data in the Business Warehouse.

End of the note.

To allow further use of the data, it must be written into InfoCubes. This is done by the following two jobs:

The job UIM_RAW_DATA_UPDATE writes the original data from DSO 0UIMBUFF into the InfoCubes, hourly.
The job UIM_AGGR_DATA_UPDATE writes the original data from DSO 0UIMAGGR into the InfoCubes, hourly.

There are two InfoCubes with identical structures (twin Cubes) for each time resolution of the aggregate data. The data is first written to the first InfoCube of each pair, until the retention period for the relevant resolution is reached. More data is then written to the second Cube in each case, until the end of the set retention period is reached there, too. The first Cube is then deleted, and the cycle starts again. The aggregates are stored in the following InfoCubes:

InfoCubes	Data
0UIMMIN1, 0UIMMIN2	Minute values
0UIMHOUR1, 0UIMHOUR2	Hourly mean values
0UIMDAY1, 0UIMDAY2	Daily mean values
0UIMWEEK1, 0UIMWEEK2	Weekly mean values
0UIMMNTH1, 0UIMMNTH2	Monthly mean values

Note Note

The default configuration settings do not save minute values in BI, because of the high data volume.

End of the note.

Since it is undetermined at any particular time which of the twin cubes contains the desired performance data, use the MultiCube 0UIMPDATA for your own queries or Web templates.
