Definition

The type of InfoProvider is indicated using this field:

  • InfoCube: An InfoProvider posted directly by using the process of data loading in the BW system.
  • VirtualProvider:
    • Based on a data transfer process and a DataSource with 3.x InfoSource: A VirtualProvider that allows the definition of queries with direct access to transaction data in other SAP source systems.
    • Based on a BAPI: A VirtualProvider with data that is processed externally and not in the BW system. The data is read for reporting from an external system, by using a BAPI.
    • Based on a function module: A VirtualProvider without its own physical data store in the BW system. A user-defined function module is used as a data source.
