what is the difference between Data Target and Info Provider

Answer Posted / yunicore

Infoproviders are objects for which you can create and execute queries in SAP BI.

These includes objects that physically store data – the data targets, such as Infocube, DSO, characteristics Infoobjects. They also include objects that do not store physical data, such as Infosets, Virtual Infoproviders and Multiproviders.

Infoproviders is a generic term used to describe any objects or views relevant to reporting.

Data Targets become InfoProviders if they are used for BEx Reporting.
