To truly clean house, you didn't need a re-org. You needed RSRV analysis (transaction code) to identify "empty requests" and then RSDD_HDB_DROP_DB_INDEX followed by RSDD_HDB_CREATE_DB_INDEX .
In BW 3.5 and 7.0, your fact tables (F-fact tables and E-fact tables) were designed to minimize disk I/O for row-based databases like Oracle or DB6. But on HANA, row storage is poison. It destroys parallelization. sap bw 7.4 practical guide pdf 28
The deep insight? The BIA INDEX (the legacy accelerator) was dead. In its place, HANA calculated views. But if you used standard MultiProviders or Infocubes (yes, people still used Infocubes in 7.4), you were forcing HANA to emulate a bitmap index. To truly clean house, you didn't need a re-org
Page 28 of a good practical guide would have shown you the exact ABAP report to run: RSDDB_INDEX_ANALYZE and, more importantly, RSDD_HDB_TRANSFER_DBSTATS . But on HANA, row storage is poison
