  • A piece of coding and the complex data structure SX_REPORT are generated
    for a query in a time-consuming process. The SX_REPORT is then stored
    in the cluster table RSIX and also redundantly for quicker access in the
    shared buffer.
    During this generation, the query definition and all of the metadata
    information (DTA class) are processed. A range of flags and control
    tables are created that accelerate the processing considerably during
    runtime.
    The following list gives an overview of the individual components:
    RKB1D: Along with the KEY of the query and the attributes
    from RSRREPDIR, this bar contains the execution mode, that is those
    flags that control the way in which the query is executed.
    RKB1F: All flags of the query are collected here. The
    most important flags are shown in the <ZK>Technical Information</>
    screen.
    BUGR: Detailed information about the elimination of
    internal business volume.
    <DS:TX.BRAIN-CELL>CELL</>: Structure elements or <DS:TX.BRAIN-KID>KID

    COA: Attributes or their basic characteristics on which
    the cache depends.
    <DS:TX.BRAIN-CSX>CSX</>: Details of the selection of constants.
    CTTNM: Collects the currency translation types.
    <DS:TX.BRAIN-CUDIM>CUDIM</>: Controls currency translation.

    formula 'Before Aggregation'.
    CUDIM_SUMM: Analog ( see also <DS:TX.BRAIN-LRECH>SUMM und LRECH
    </>)
    IC_VAL: Validity slice characteristics for non-cumulative
    cubes.
    KFB: Describes which FEMS and which basic key figures go
    into a <DS:TX.BRAIN-KID>KID</> (authorization check).
