Are there differences between multi-source enabled relational universes on SAP Netweaver BW Infoproviders and direct access for SAP BEx queries via BICS?

Answer Posted / madhu

Yes, one main difference is that direct access for SAP BEx queries via BICS enables the dimensional discovery of metadata. That is, dimension hierarchies from the cube are maintained, while multi-source enabled relational universes do not. Multi-source enabled relational universes, however, are generated and persisted on the SAP BusinessObjects repository for SAP Netweaver BW 7.0.1 Infoproviders. Direct access to SAP BEx generates an equivalent, temporary, universe-structure automatically on the fly, but they are not persisted and therefore cannot be shared or reused. Note that multi-source enabled relational universes need to be synchronized with any Infoprovider changes.
