InfoProviders can have extremely different types. However all InfoProvider types provide data for a query.

Most InfoProviders are modeled in the BW system. The basic objects can stand alone or be used in other InfoProviders:

      InfoObjects as InfoProviders

      InfoCube with types

...

                            a.      standard, with data persistency in the BW system or in the BWA

                            b.      real-time

                            c.      semantically paritioned

      DataStore object with types

...

                            a.      standard

                            b.      write-optimized

                            c.      for direct update

                            d.      semantically paritioned

Staging is used to load data into these InfoProviders.

There are also InfoProviders that consist of or are derived from other InfoProviders:

      InfoSet

      MultiProviders 

      VirtualProvider with types

...

                            a.      DTP-based

                            b.      with BAPI

                            c.      with function modules

      HybridProvider with types

...

                            a.      DataStore-object-based

                            b.      direct-access-based

      aggregation level

Certain InfoProviders (TransientProviders) are not modeled in the BW system. They are derived from a different object:

        TransientProvider Derived from Classic InfoSet

        TransientProvider Derived from Analytical Index
