MultiProvider

Posted by SAP BI-BO on Tuesday, October 19, 2010

A MultiProvider is a special InfoProvider that combines data from several InfoProviders, providing it for reporting. The MultiProvider itself (InfoSets and VirtualProviders) does not contain any data. Its data comes exclusively from the InfoProviders on which it is based. A MultiProvider can be made up of various combinations of the following InfoProviders:
. InfoCubes
. DataStore objects
. InfoObjects
. InfoSets
. Aggregation levels (slices of a InfoCube to support BI Integrated Planning)

Use
A BEx query can only be written against a single InfoProvider. A MultiProvider is a single InfoProvider to a query but through it, multiple providers can be indirectly accessed.
