Definition

The term data target is a generic term for BW objects into which data can be posted using the Staging Engine with update methods.

This includes the following objects:

InfoCubes,

ODS objects,

InfoObjects (as long as they have master data).

Note:

  • A data target is not a new BW object, rather a grouping term for existing BW objects.
  • Relationship to the term InfoProvider: The term 'InfoProvider' unites BW objects that can deliver data for a <query; the term 'data target' means BW objects into which data can be posted in a uniform manner.
  • For example, a MultiProvider is an InfoProvider but not a data target.
