LiveCache Data retrieval

Question: Hi APO Experts,
Is there any function module/program/dictionary table to provide LiveCache snap shot at any given time?

If some know the answer, I will appreciate their thoughts and sharing the information with others.

Thanks,
CRoss

Answer:
Try a remote InfoCube that is based on the generated export datasource from the planning area.

Answer:
There is also another way: since the livecache is a database in the memory and routines are in C++, normal SQL-queries won't work. BUT there are some BAPIs to some info you might be interested in.
have a look at /nBAPI in the APO and search for a BAPI that might fit.

And let me know, whether it works )

Answer:
@guest: How often do you need such a backup/snap shot? Do you need it over the wole planning area or just for some characteristic combinations/a few keyfigures?

@klausg: The existing BAPIs work well, but they are not made to get a complete snapshot of the live cache. They are good to get a limited number of keyfigures for a restricted number of characteristic combinations. Trying to get the whole planning area with a BAPI might result in a short dump, because the function is very time & memory consuming/intensive.

Answer:
I need to pull the LiveCache data into various reports run as needed. However, the data I am looking is from 4 different key figures (all are custom developed).

I did not find any BAPI function which would provide this information. Could you all throw some light on BAPI function wich would provide certain key figures information from LiveCache.

Thanks,
