Hello SAP BW Gurus!!
I have come across with several threads to understand the functionality of the Attribute only option of an info object
I understood the following thigs
1. Take any info object and if you do not check the option as attribute only , this object can be added as an attribute to another char info object and
by default the attribute is display attribute . If you wanted to make the attribute behavior as navigational attribute ( to use similarly char info object) you can change it to navigational attribute.
2. But if you have an info object , explicitly you checked that attribute only option , once you add this info object as an attribute to another info object it behaves just like display attribute . you cannot change it to display attribute . That means without having main char info object , you cannot use this info object in query(generally it is possible thru navigaional attributes)
IS my understanding is correct ???
And i have main doubt on the below statement
1. If you mark one info object as attribute only , you cannot use this info object in Info cube
2. But you can use this info object in DSO?
May i know the reason why it is given like that ? If you are able to include this object in DSO , why we will not be able to include in infocube ?
Final doubt..
Once you mark an object is attribute only and this is being used in multiple places in bw (different info providers ) can we uncheck it and vice versa i.e
Initially object is not marked as attribute only , this object is being used in multiple data providers . can we change the object to attribute only?
Kindly clear the above questions
Thanks
