• Converting a Standard InfoCube to a Real-Time InfoCube while Maintaining Data

  There could be a couple of reasons why you might wish to convert your Standard InfoCube to a Real-Time InfoCube: - your user's needs may change and you require the data to be kept closer to real-time, or - the amount of data you are loading increases and you're finding the InfoCube's write performance is simply too slow. The Real-Time InfoCube supports parallel write access making it much faster compared to the Standard InfoCube. This can be combined with a daemon service that is scheduled to check the InfoSource for any changes, if found the delta is quickly updated. How to convert: 1. Go to the ABAP Editor (SE80) and select Edit Object 2. Execute the program 'sap_convert_normal_trans' 3. Enter the InfoCube's name and decide the direction of the conversion. Once the InfoCube has been converted it will be ready and any data you previously had in the InfoCube will remain intact.
