In
next generation of BW systems based on SAP BW/4HANA there are significant changes done
with regards to the BW object types. The BW objects are simplified and only few
of them are supported. So, what are classic BW object types that are not
supported in BW/4HANA?
- MultiProviders are Composite Providers (object
type HCPR) - tables like RSDCUBEMULTI and RSDICMULTIIOBJ are empty
- InfoSet (object ISET) are Composite Providers (object type HCPR)
- table RSQISET is empty
- Cubes (object CUBE) are aDSOs (advanced DSO, object type ADSO)
- table RSDCUBE is empty
- Classic DSO objects (object ODSO) are aDSOs (object type ADSO) - table
RSDODSO is empty
- Virtual Providers (object flag
RSDCUBE-CUBETYPE = V) are now Open ODS
Views (object type FBPA, stored in table RSFBP) or BADI Providers - table
RSDCUBE is empty
- Hybrid Providers (object flag
RSDCUBE-CUBETYPE = H) are now aDSOs (object
type ADSO) - table RSDCUBE is empty
- Transient Providers (InfoProvider that
allows analysis on top of an application object like SAP Business Suite) are
now Open ODS Views or BADI Providers (object
type FBPA)
- PSA tables are now aDSOs (object type ADSO) - no tables like /BIC/B00* for PSA of
DataDources, but Transfer Structure/Change Logs/Error Stack tables remain in
BW4 systems
- No APD (object ANPR) are not supported - tables RSANT_PROCESS
and RSANT_PROCESSR do not even exit
- InfoObject
Catalogs (object IOBC) are now replaced
by InfoAreas (object AREA) - tables RSDIOBC and RSDIOBCT having only values for
NODESNOTCONNECTED IO catalogs like:
0CHANOTASSIGNED
- Unassigned characteristics
0KYFNOTASSIGNED
- Not assigned key figures
0TIMNOTASSIGNED
- Not assigned time characteristics
0UNINOTASSIGNED
- Not assigned units
- Open Hub of types 3.x or "Third Party Tool" are not supported, OHs (object type DEST) that are supported (TAB, FILO, FILL) are still present in table RSBOHDEST and RSBDBTAB
-
No 3.x InfoSource (object ISTD)
present in the BW4 system anymore, as is it not supported - table RSISOSMAP is not present in the BW4 system
anymore
- No Communication Structure (object ISCS) present in the BW4 system anymore, as is it not supported - table RSKS is empty
- InfoSource 7.x (object TRCS - Communication Structure for Transformation) is still available in table RSKSNEW

BW object conversion, see Tools for migrating to SAP BW/4HANA (B4H)
BW/4HANA
specific object types tables:
RSOADSO -
DataStore Object (although table exits in the system starting from BW 7.4 version)
RSOHCPR – HANA
Composite Provider
RSDHAMAP -
HANA Analysis Processes
Typical
look into table RSDCUBE in classic BW based system where the table has zero
records would be pretty scary. However, in the BW/4HANA based system it is
pretty normal :)
