SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: RSDBMAN -

• Message number: 008

• Message text: - RSADMIN parameter USE_FACTVIEW is set to '&1'

What causes this issue?

The fact tables for the InfoCube can be read either by separately
accessing the E and F tables, or by accessing a view that contains the E
and F tables; this view is FACTVIEW.

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

The RSADMIN parameter USE_FACTVIEW controls the use of FACTVIEW.
Possible values are:
FALSE (default value)
FACTVIEW is not used by default; it is only used for data marts and CRM.
However, FACTVIEW is used if this is explicitly required by the caller.
If a caller does not explicitly prohibit the use of FACTVIEW, it is used
when required, for example, for AVERAGE aggregation on key figures.
TRUE
FACTVIEW is used by default when the external read interface
RSDRI_INFOPROV_READ / CL_RSDRI_INFOPROV is used. If a caller does not e
xplicitly prohibit the use of FACTVIEW, it is used when required, for
example, for AVERAGE aggregation on key figures.
NEVER
FACTVIEW is never used. The only exception to this are InfoSets that
contain InfoCubes.
ALWAYS
FACTVIEW is always used, even if this is explicitly prohibited by the
caller.
