Types of Infocubes
In BI 7.0 we are having 3 types Infocubes which are mainly used.
The Infocube which is used for Summarized data. The
Infocube which is a Physical Storage Device which is used to
store the data.
The Infocube is used for Transactional data only. The
Infocubes are used to create Summarized reports
The 3 types of Infocubes are:
Standard Infocube.
Virtual Infoproivder (or) Virtual Infocube.
Real-Time Infocube.
Standard Infocube:
Standard Infocube Stores The Physical Data, Data is
Stored in the Standard Infocube.
The Structure of the Standard Infocube is One Fact Table
surrounded by the Dimension Tables.
Customer Dimension
Material
Dimension
Fact Table
Time Dimension
Unit Dimension Data Packet

Virtual Infoprovider
Virtual Infoprovider doesn't store any physical data at the
time of the query execution it receives data directly from
the source system.
These are mainly used for data reconciliation during
integration testing.
Reconciliation means validating the source system data with
BI data.
In you don't have the Sufficient Transaction codes (or)
source system reports to perform the data reconciliation during
during integration testing we create virtual infoprovider.
Types of Virtual Infoproviders:
The types of virtual infoproviders are defines based on the
data loading mechanisms
Virtual Infoproviders with Direct Access DTP.
Virtual Infoproviders with Function Module.
Virtual Infoproviders with BAPI's(business app
programing interface)--which is used for Non-SAP.
Real-Time Infocube
→ In real-time infocube, we can write the data into the
cube, Real-time infocubes are used for planning purposes.
→ For Standard cubes, we can load the data into the cube
where as in real-time infocube we can load the data into
the cube and we can write the data into the cube, That means
while loading the data into the real-time infocube Planning
is not possible. Similarly while writing that data (Planning
the data) into the real-time infocube loading is not possible.
How to make the real-time infocube as Load behavior?
→ Select InfoArea → Right Click → Create Infocube → Select
Real-time
Select Infocube → Right Click → Change Real-time load
