• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RSDRI_HDB034 - Migration of non-cumulative InfoCubes is not supported ?

  The SAP error message RSDRI_HDB034 indicates that there is an attempt to migrate a non-cumulative InfoCube to SAP HANA, which is not supported. Non-cumulative InfoCubes are designed to store data that does not accumulate over time, such as inventory levels or balances at a specific point in time. In contrast, SAP HANA supports only cumulative InfoCubes for migration.
  Cause:
  The primary cause of this error is the attempt to migrate a non-cumulative InfoCube to the SAP HANA database. Non-cumulative InfoCubes are not compatible with the HANA architecture, which is optimized for cumulative data processing.
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can consider the following approaches:
  
  
  Identify Non-Cumulative InfoCubes: Review your InfoCubes and identify which ones are non-cumulative. You can do this by checking the InfoCube properties in the SAP BW system.
  
  
  Convert Non-Cumulative InfoCubes: If possible, convert the non-cumulative InfoCubes to cumulative InfoCubes. This may involve redesigning the data model and ensuring that the data can be aggregated over time.
  
  
  Use Alternative Data Models: If conversion is not feasible, consider using alternative data models that are compatible with SAP HANA, such as Advanced DataStore Objects (ADSO) or CompositeProviders, which can handle non-cumulative data in a different way.
  
  
  Data Extraction: If the non-cumulative InfoCubes are not needed in the HANA environment, you may choose to extract the relevant data and store it in a different format or system that can handle non-cumulative data.
  
  
  Consult SAP Documentation: Refer to the official SAP documentation for guidance on migrating InfoCubes and best practices for data modeling in SAP HANA.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may provide additional insights or updates regarding the migration of InfoCubes to HANA.
  SAP BW/4HANA: If you are migrating to SAP BW/4HANA, familiarize yourself with the new data modeling concepts and structures that are optimized for HANA.
  Data Modeling Best Practices: Review best practices for data modeling in SAP HANA to ensure that your data architecture is efficient and effective.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to address the RSDRI_HDB034 error and successfully migrate your data to SAP HANA.
