Hi,
Normally BW is inbuilt funtionality of DP.
When you are creating a infocube in APO, you get a dialog box with 2 choices, 'BW Appliction' or 'APO Application'.
Remember to choose 'BW Application' else you get such errors.
1. Create an InfoArea to which the new InfoCube should be assigned.
2. In the context menu of the InfoArea, choose Create InfoCube.
3. Select either Standard or Real Time as the InfoCube type. For more information, see Real-Time-Enabled InfoCube.
Choose Create.
If you want to create a copy of an already existing InfoCube, you can enter an InfoCube as a template.
The Edit InfoCube screen appears.
4. Transferring InfoObjects:
On the left side of the screen, there are various templates to choose from. These allow you to get a better overview in relation to a particular task. For performance reasons, the default setting is an empty template. Using the pushbuttons, select an InfoSource (only the InfoObjects for the communication structure of the InfoSource are displayed), an InfoCube, a DataStore object, or an InfoObject catalog.
The InfoObjects that are to be added to the InfoCube are divided into the categories characteristic, time characteristic, key figure and unit. You have to transfer at least one InfoObject from each category.
On the right side of the screen, you define the InfoCube. Using the Drag&Drop function, assign the InfoObjects in the dimensions and the Key Figures folder. It is possible to select several InfoObjects at once. You can also transfer entire dimensions using Drag&Drop. The system assigns navigation attributes automatically. These navigation attributes can be switched on for reporting in BEx.
Or:
You can insert InfoObjects without selecting a template in the left half of the screen. This is useful if you know exactly which InfoObjects you want to include in the InfoCube. Choose Insert InfoObjects in the context menu for the folders for dimensions or key figures. In the dialog box that appears, you can enter and transfer up to ten InfoObjects directly, or you can select them using input help. You can use Drag&Drop to reassign them.
5. Details and object-specific properties:
If you double click on an InfoObject, the detail display of this InfoObject is displayed. In the context menu of an InfoObject, you can make additional settings under Object-Specific Properties. See the section Structure-Specific Properties of InfoObject in Additional Functions with InfoCube Maintenance.
6. Create dimensions: The dimensions data package, time, and unit are available as the default setting. The data package dimension contains technical characteristics. Time characteristics and units are automatically assigned to the corresponding dimensions. In the context menu of the Dimensions folder, you can create additional dimensions under Create New Dimensions.
If a dimension only has one characteristic, or it has a large number of values, you need to set the Line Item or High Cardinality indicator. For more information, see Line Item and High Cardinality.
7. In the context menu of the Key Figures folder you can Insert .
8. Save or Activate the InfoCube.
