DataStore Object (advanced) (New)Locate this document in the navigation structure

In the BW modeling tools, you can now use the DataStore obejct (advanced) for modeling the persistence of new end-2-end scenarios.

You can only use this new InfoProvider if you are using a SAP HANA database. The DataStore object (advanced) combines functionalities from the InfoCube and the DataStore object, while providing enhancements, such as modeling using fields and InfoObjects.

In the medium term, if you are using the SAP HANA, the DataStore object (advanced) should become the central object for modeling and replace the BW InfoProviders with persistence (InfoCubes, DataStore objects, Persistent Staging Area). The classic InfoProviders will still be available in addition to the DataStore object (advanced) and will be supported. You can use various properties to model the various usage scenarios for the DataStore object (advanced).

Request administration has been improved with regard to very frequent load processes, the upper limit for requests and their influence on load performance. The new request administration is delivered with an administration interface integrated into the Data Warehousing Workbench.

You need to install version 1.5 (or higher) of the BW Modeling tools and SAP HANA Support Package 08 revision 83 or higher.
