Remodeling Toolbox
These
two t-codes mentioned above are part of a BW remodeling framework. The remodeling
is an operation during which an object (InfoObject) in BW InfoProvider (that
contains data) structure are being changed. Imagine in BW
Modeling Tools of SAP
HANA Studio a change can be either some InfoObject is added or removed from
the InfoProvider. After the change like this is performed the BW system checks
whether the provider can be activated immediately or it has to be remodeled
first. If the provider can’t be activated (most likely as there is a data in
there) the remodeling request is created. There can be a several operations of adding/removing
IOs upon the InfoProvider added into the request. By the InfoProvider here what
is meant is aDSO object
as that is main data storage object in BW/4HANA based BW
systems.
Then
the remodeling request can be triggered in t-code RSMONITOR. There is a possibility to restart, reset, monitor the
request, to review its log etc.
If
case the aDSO object is already moved in other subsequent systems (e.g. test,
production) to the development system then a transport of the remodeled aDSO is
needed. BW checks whether remodeling is needed in those systems and the
required remodeling request is created in the target system. Needless to say
that since BW/4HANA whole remodeling stuff is to be done in BW/4HANA Cockpit.
Similarly,
to aDSO
objects there are old good InfoObjects present in BW/4HANA systems.
Sometimes there is a need to remodel those too. E.g. to add/remove its
attributes, changing data types etc. However, the remodeling tool here is
different. The IOs are remodeled in t-code RSMRT.
The
two t-codes I briefly mentioned in this blog post are starting to appear in BW since version BW 7.4 and above.
