Whenever you create a CompositeProvider, you are guided through the process by a wizard.
Procedure
- You are in the BW Modeling tools. In the context menu for your BW project, choose .
- Select an InfoArea. To ensure that you can find your CompositeProvider again without difficulty, we recommend setting the Add to Favorites flag.
- Enter a technical name and a description. A maximum of 12 characters can be entered for the technical name.
- Choose Next or Finish:
- If you choose Finish, the system automatically creates a CompositeProvider with union. The editor appears.
- If you choose Next, you can initially select InfoProviders from the BW system or - if you have assigned a SAP HANA system to the BW project - select SAP HANA views that you want to be part of the union or join. If you do not select anything here, a CompositeProvider with union is created. If you want to create a CompositeProvider with join, you have to select either two providers in the join provider table or a join provider and multiple union providers. You can move the providers using Drag & Drop by choosing Up and Down from the context menu for the provider or by double-clicking on the provider.
- Choose Finish. The CompositeProvider is generated. In the case of CompositeProviders with union and join, the union node is appended at the very bottom. The editor appears.
