Hi,

In RSA1, select infoprovider and right click on the respective info area ans select create virtual provider. This will automatically select "Based on data transfer for direct access".

Hi Vishal,

This is as per SCM 4.1

Hi

Thnx...

But that i know.

And in SCM 5 you will not get option for SAP Remote cube.

In APO

go to change mode of the planning area

Choose EXTRAS from the top Tool bar and choose "Data Extraction Tools" option

Click on the "Data Backup" Button then "Generate Infocube from planning area"

Fill in the name of the Cube and the rest and you should have created the remote cube

You still need to create the infosource link

The other way of doing it is from RSA1

from the context menu of the infoarea choose Create Infocube

Click on "based on DTP for direct access" and choose "with infosource 3.x" and fill in the infosource

Assuming you are extracting the data from the Planning area into a Remote cube, this is normal Infocube created with the Infosource/Data source that is created in APO. please follow the steps in the below link. Basically this cube is useful if you need to carry out reporting with a BI front end.
