Smart SAP Assistant

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RS_B4HANA_RC064 - BW Data Mart connected via SAPI. Won't be available in BW/4HANA. ?

  The error message RS_B4HANA_RC064 indicates that a BW Data Mart connected via SAPI (SAP Application Programming Interface) is not available in BW/4HANA. This is a common issue when transitioning from SAP BW to BW/4HANA, as BW/4HANA has different architecture and does not support certain legacy components, including SAPI.
  Cause:
  
  Legacy Component: SAPI is a legacy interface used in earlier versions of SAP BW for data extraction. BW/4HANA has moved away from this architecture to leverage new technologies and data models.
  Data Mart Configuration: The specific Data Mart you are trying to access may still be configured to use SAPI, which is not supported in BW/4HANA.
  Transition to New Models: BW/4HANA encourages the use of new data models and extraction methods, such as using the SAP HANA database directly or using the new BW/4HANA data flow.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Reconfigure Data Mart: You will need to reconfigure your Data Mart to use the new data extraction methods supported in BW/4HANA. This may involve:
  
  Creating new InfoProviders (e.g., CompositeProviders, Advanced DataStore Objects).
  Using the new extraction methods like ODP (Operational Data Provisioning) or CDS (Core Data Services) views.
  
  
  
  Data Migration: If you have existing data models that rely on SAPI, consider migrating the data to new structures that are compatible with BW/4HANA.
  
  
  Use ODP: Transition to using ODP for data extraction. ODP is the recommended approach for data extraction in BW/4HANA and provides better performance and flexibility.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Refer to the official SAP documentation for BW/4HANA migration and best practices. SAP provides guides and tools to assist with the transition from BW to BW/4HANA.
  
  
  Testing: After reconfiguring your Data Mart, ensure thorough testing to validate that data extraction and reporting work as expected.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may provide additional guidance or updates regarding this error.
  SAP Community: Engage with the SAP Community forums for insights from other users who may have faced similar issues.
  Training and Resources: Consider SAP training resources or workshops focused on BW/4HANA to better understand the new architecture and best practices.
