Universe on ABAP doesn't refresh structure

[former_member192683]

Hello community,

I have created an unx universe on top of an ABAP function. When I add a new field to the ABAP function structure, though i refresh the structure on IDT, data foundation doesn't detect the new fields. I experience this issue for a few years. The only solution i have found is to save as the function with a different name and change the function within IDT with the new one.

Have you ever experienced such an issues and could you find solution for directly refreshing the structure?

Thanks in advance,

I have found the solution in the note 2032585.

If you face a similar issue, just restart the APS server which has the data federation service and refresh the structure in the universe again.

Cause

The Data Foundation is looking at the Cached universe properties. The Multi-source universe goes  to get the metadata from the BI platform, then to the federation engine and then to the ERP machine.  Whereas a Single Source universe does directly to the data source.

Resolution

Perform a Stop and Start of the Adaptive Processing Server to clear the cache.
