• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message UCM0086 - InfoCube &1 is not virtual ?

  The SAP error message UCM0086 indicates that the InfoCube you are trying to use is not a virtual InfoCube. This error typically arises in the context of SAP BW (Business Warehouse) when you are attempting to perform operations that are only applicable to virtual InfoCubes.
  Cause:
  
  Non-Virtual InfoCube: The primary cause of this error is that the InfoCube you are working with is a standard InfoCube and not a virtual one. Virtual InfoCubes are designed to provide a view of data without physically storing it, while standard InfoCubes store data in the database.
  Incorrect Query or Data Source: You may be trying to execute a query or data extraction that is intended for a virtual InfoCube, leading to this error.
  Configuration Issues: There may be configuration issues in the BW system that are causing the system to misinterpret the InfoCube type.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check InfoCube Type: Verify the type of InfoCube you are working with. You can do this by navigating to the InfoCube in the Data Warehousing Workbench (RSA1) and checking its properties.
  Use a Virtual InfoCube: If your requirement specifically needs a virtual InfoCube, consider creating one. This can be done by defining a new virtual InfoCube in the BW system that points to the appropriate data sources.
  Adjust Queries: If you are running a query that is not compatible with standard InfoCubes, modify the query to ensure it is compatible with the type of InfoCube you are using.
  Consult Documentation: Review SAP documentation or help resources for more details on the specific operations that can be performed with virtual InfoCubes versus standard InfoCubes.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Virtual InfoCubes: These are used in scenarios where real-time data access is required without the need for data to be physically stored in the InfoCube.
  Data Warehousing Workbench (RSA1): This is the primary tool for managing InfoProviders, including InfoCubes, in SAP BW.
