Definition

The Use Selection of Structure Elements option influences system performance. This function should therefore normally be activated. It does not have any affect on the data displayed. Technically speaking, the system only passes to the database the selections and key figures of the columns (or structure elements, to be more precise) currently used to filter the query. If you deactivate this function, the data is read for the entire structure or for both structures from the database. Therefore this function cannot be activated if the query has the read mode 'A' (see Read Mode).

Use

You can expect a significant improvement in performance from using this function in the following scenarios:

  • You are using SAP NetWeaver BW Accelerator.
  • You are using queries that contain a large number of selections or restricted key figures, which are not all displayed in the initial drilldown.
  • You execute a lot of operations where you filter using selections or restricted key figures, such as the function Filter and Drill Down By.

Deactivating the function is only advantageous in very rare cases.
