How To Fix R7B669 - InfoCube &1 is SAP HANA-optimized, so should only have an F-fact table

SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

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

• Message number: 669

• Message text: InfoCube &1 is SAP HANA-optimized, so should only have an F-fact table

What causes this issue?

InfoCube &V1& is a SAP HANA-optimized InfoCube according to its metadata
(cube subtype = 'F'), but has other tables such as regular dimension
tables or the compressed E-fact table in addition to F-fact table &V2&
and P-dimension table.

System Response

The check on InfoCube &V1& returned an error. InfoCube &V1& cannot be
activated.

How to fix this error?

Try to identify the root cause of the changed cube subtype and adjust it
accordingly.

Procedure for System Administrators

Activating an InfoCube where its cube subtype is 'F', but it is not
actually SAP HANA-optimized (because it has dimension tables or
compressed E-fact tables) results in data loss during DDIC activation of
the F-fact table. During DDIC activation, the ABAP Database Utility SE14
will be run because the F-fact table contains data. As the data types of
the F-fact table columns will be changed, data loss occurs.

The system issues an error message and will not allow you to continue with this transaction until the error is resolved.

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message R7B669 - InfoCube &1 is SAP HANA-optimized, so should only have an F-fact table ?

  The SAP error message R7B669 indicates that you are trying to use an InfoCube that is optimized for SAP HANA, but it contains a fact table that is not in the expected format. Specifically, the error suggests that the InfoCube should only have an F-fact table (which is a fact table that contains key figures) and that it is not configured correctly.
  Cause:
  
  Incorrect Table Type: The InfoCube may have been created or modified to include a fact table that is not compatible with the HANA-optimized structure. In HANA-optimized InfoCubes, only F-fact tables are allowed.
  Legacy InfoCube: If the InfoCube was originally designed for a non-HANA environment, it may still contain structures or tables that are not compatible with HANA optimization.
  Data Model Issues: There may be inconsistencies in the data model that prevent the InfoCube from being recognized as HANA-optimized.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check the InfoCube Structure: Review the structure of the InfoCube in the Data Warehousing Workbench (transaction RSA1) to ensure that it only contains F-fact tables. Remove any non-F-fact tables if they exist.
  Recreate the InfoCube: If the InfoCube is not compatible, consider recreating it as a HANA-optimized InfoCube. This may involve defining the InfoCube from scratch with the correct settings.
  Use the HANA-Optimized Data Model: Ensure that you are using the correct data model for HANA. This may involve using CompositeProviders or other HANA-optimized structures instead of traditional InfoCubes.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation for guidelines on creating and managing HANA-optimized InfoCubes. This can provide insights into best practices and requirements.
  Check for SAP Notes: Look for any relevant SAP Notes that may address this specific error or provide additional guidance on HANA optimization.
  
  Related Information:
  
  HANA-Optimized InfoCubes: These are designed to leverage the capabilities of SAP HANA, such as in-memory processing and advanced analytics.
  Fact Tables: In the context of InfoCubes, fact tables store quantitative data for analysis, and they must be structured correctly for HANA optimization.
  SAP BW/4HANA: If you are using SAP BW/4HANA, ensure that you are following the specific guidelines for data modeling and InfoCube creation in that environment.
  Performance Considerations: HANA-optimized InfoCubes are designed for better performance and should be used to take full advantage of HANA's capabilities.
  
  By following these steps and understanding the underlying causes, you should be able to resolve the error and ensure that your InfoCube is properly configured for SAP HANA.
