SAP S / InfoCubes and InfoProviders

In SAP S/4HANA, the traditional InfoProviders (such as InfoCubes and DSOs from SAP BW) are no longer used in the same way. Instead, SAP S/4HANA relies on CDS Views, HANA Calculation Views, and Embedded Analytics for reporting. However, if you are looking for reporting data structures in SAP S/4HANA, here's how you can find them:

1. Using Transaction Code RSA1 (for BW-Embedded in S/4HANA)

• If you have Embedded BW activated in SAP S/4HANA, you can use RSA1 to check the available InfoProviders.
• Navigate to Modeling > InfoProvider to find Advanced DSOs (ADSOs), CompositeProviders, and Open ODS Views.

2. Using SE11 or SE16N (For CDS-Based Reporting)

• Many reports in SAP S/4HANA are based on ABAP CDS Views. To find them:
  1. Open SE11 or SE16N.
  2. Look for tables with the prefix I_ (for interface views) or C_ (for cube-like analytical views).
  3. Example: I_GLAccountLineItemCube (General Ledger Reporting).

3. Using Eclipse ADT or GUI Transaction SDDLAR

• If you have access to Eclipse with ADT:
  1. Open Eclipse and go to ABAP Development Perspective.
  2. Search for DPC_EXT or use the Data Definition editor to explore available CDS Views.
• Alternatively, in SAP GUI, use Transaction SDDLAR to list CDS Views.

4. Checking Fiori Apps and SAP Standard Content

• Many standard Fiori apps use Analytical Queries (CDS Views).
• Use Transaction RSRT to find available analytical queries.

5. Checking HANA Views in SAP HANA Studio or Eclipse

• If you have HANA Studio or Eclipse, you can look at SAP_HANA_CALCULATION_VIEWS for predefined views used in reporting.

6. Using Transaction RSRTS_ODP_DIS (For ODP Data Sources)

• If your reporting solution is using Operational Data Provisioning (ODP), check this transaction to find available ODP providers.
