The document discusses how to configure and use delta caching and delta pairs in SAP CPM SEM-BCS. Delta caching and delta pairs allow for more efficient data retrieval by only retrieving changed data.

The prerequisites for using delta caching and delta pairs include having a virtual info provider, ensuring variable exits are not used in multi-provider queries, and importing SAP corrections. The virtual info provider must support delta caching and have the proper function module and class assigned.

The steps to configure delta caching include maintaining info provider properties to enable delta caching, maintaining queries based on the virtual info provider, making info provider settings for queries, and noting system behavior after customizing.

1 Introduction / Background Business scenario


This Howto paper is used to optimize reporting performance in SEM-BCS. It should be applied for SEM-BCS 6.0 installations in addition to the scenario according to the howto paper How to... configure the Delta Load based MultiProvider Scenario. We strongly recommend to read both papers before you start to implement the proposed solutions. Both howto papers can be found in the service marketplace: http://www.service.sap.com/solutions Solution Details Business Solutions and Applications SAP Business Suite SAP ERP SAP ERP Analytics SAP Strategic Enterprise Management (SAP SEM) Business Consolidation Media Library How Tos

2 The Step By Step Solution


2.1 Ensure preconditions and migration from former implementation of the request based MultiProvider scenario
1. Check whether your installation is on the applicable release and support package stack/support package level 2. Ensure that you have already implemented the request based MultiProvider scenario with or without the modification SEM-BCS 6.0 SAP_BW 700 SP 13 (included in NW2004s SPS 12) The request based MultiProvider scenario is described in the howto paper

How to... configure the Delta Load based MultiProvider Scenario which is
the prerequisite for this howto paper

3. Ensure that variable exits are not used anymore in queries on the MultiProvider

Variable Exits for the Request-IDs must not be used anymore in queries on the MultiProvider. To ensure this, please do the following: If you use the Delta Load based MultiProvider Scenario (described in the howto paper How to... configure the Delta Load based MultiProvider Scenario as well as in the SEM-BCS 6.0 Enhancement Package 1 online documentation) and also the modification that is described in the mentioned howto paper, you should remove this modification. If you use the Delta Load based MultiProvider Scenario (described in the howto paper How to... configure the Delta Load based MultiProvider Scenario as well as in the SEM-BCS 6.0 Enhancement Package 1 online documentation) without the modification, you must change all MultiProvider queries manually: Remove the assignment of the SAP delivered SAP-Exit variable 0S_BCSRQ to characteristic 0BCS_REQUID from the global filter of all MultiProvider queries. Remove the assignment of the SAP delivered SAP-Exit variable 0S_CSRQ to characteristic 0REQUID from the global filter of all MultiProvider queries.

4. Ensure that corrections are imported 5. Read the online documentation

2.2 Make settings for the Deltacache support


6. Ensure that the preconditions for the Virtual InfoProvider are kept

New Property of the Virtual InfoProvider: Deltacache Deltacache only possible for the Virtual Provider of the totals data stream The Function Module assigned must be RSSEM_CONSOLIDATION_INFOPROV3 7. Maintain the InfoProvider properties accordingly

8. Maintain all queries based on the Virtual InfoProvider

RSRT Environment Maintenance

Query Mass

9. Make InfoProvider settings for all queries

10. Note the system behaviour after the previously described customizing

2.3 Make settings for the Deltapair support


11. Activate Deltapair support New Property of the MultiProvider: Deltapair Choose Extras Delta Pairs Only Deltacache enabled Providers can act as DeltaProviders SEM-BCS: Assign the Virtual Provider as DeltaProvider to the Reporting InfoCube Prerequisite: The Virtual Provider has the Delta Cache Class CL_RSSEM_DC_SUPPORT_VP_BCS assigned As Delta Pair Class choose CL_RSSEM_DELTAPAIR_BCS
