Composite Providers not supported with IDT relational connection

$

Hi,

 

First of all, moderators ! I am not even sure if it is BW or IDT (Information Design Tool) limitation. Therefore, please feel free to move this discussion to relevant space.

 

Case: Consume composite providers in IDT to create relational connection.

 

Result: Unable to view composite providers/advance DSOs when creating relational connection.

 

Findings:

 

Semantec Layer Relationally Exposed Data Source document (found in slide 20 of BI 4.1 PAM) dictates that only following info providers are supported.

 

Infocube, DSO, Multiprovider & VirtualProvider

 

SAP Note 2140125 dictates that "because BW does not provide necessary services so Information Design Tool and Semantic Layer could consume Composite Providers as pseudo relational data source"

 

Workarounds:

 

Our BW professional was able to hack the functional module or enter static entries in source table (did something ) to make all the providers available

Queries:

 

  • Is there any better explanation/justification on "Why these new providers not available in IDT for relational connection?"
  • Do you favour the workaround? Please explain why in both cases "Yes" or "No"

 

Thanks

Angad
