How To Fix R7B317 - Caution: DataStore/VirtualProvider is part of a HybridProvider

R7B317 - Overview

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: R7B - BW Metadata (InfoCube, InfoObject, InfoObject catalog)

• Message number: 317

• Message text: Caution: DataStore/VirtualProvider is part of a HybridProvider

What causes this issue?

When you create a HybridProvider based on an existing DataStore object
or VirtualProvider, the DataStore object no longer has the status of an
"autonomous InfoProviders", since it is part of the HybridProvider.
As a result, you can no longer maintain or transport the DataStore
object or VirtualProvider individually; you can only maintain or
transport it as part of the HybridProvider.
You can continue to execute queries that are based on the DataStore
object or VirtualProvider, or copy them to the HybridProvider.

System Response

If a VirtualProvider is already connected to a DataSource using DTP and
transformation, a check is first performed to see whether the DataSource
can support the HybridProvider. If the DataSource supports the
HybridProvider, the transformation is copied to the InfoCube and a
hybrid DTP is created. The original data flow is deleted.

How to fix this error?

If you want to avoid the situation described above, you should create a
brand-new HybridProvider (selection option: <LS>New DataStore Object </>
or <LS>New VirtualProvider</>). Here you can specify a template object.
However this object is only copied and not integrated into the
HybridProvider.
