Q)WHATISTRANSACTIONALCUBE?
A) Transactional InfoCubes differ from standard InfoCubes in that the former have an improved write access
performance level. Standard InfoCubes are technically optimized for readonly access and for a comparatively
small number of simultaneous accesses. Instead, the transactional InfoCube was developed to meet the
demands of SAP Strategic Enterprise Management (SEM), meaning that, data is written to the InfoCube
(possibly by several users at the same time) and reread as soon as possible. Standard Basic cubes are not
suitableforthis.

youcanchoose"startroutine"orclickonthetrianglewiththegreensquarebehindanindividualcharacteristic.
Usually we only use start routine when it does not concern one single characteristic (for example when you
havetoreadthesametablefor4characteristics).Ihopethishelps.
WeusedABAPRoutinesforexample:
ToconverttoUppercase(transferstructure)
To convert Values out of a third party tool with different keys into the same keys as our SAP System uses
