Documentation

Definition

In the Business Information Warehouse an InfoCube serves to save data from a certain area.

An Infocube is constructed according to the so-called star schema. It consists of a fact table that contains the key figures (e.g. revenue, sales quantity) and several dimension tables that contain the characteristics (e.g. company code, division).

The dimension tables each have a generated key field and contain the characteristics in the data part. The generated key fields of all the dimensions belonging to the InfoCube form the key of the fact table.

InfoCubes are filled with data using the update rules from one or more InfoSources.

You can find further information in the Administrator Workbench documentation under InfoCube.
