Object documentation InfoObjects as InfoProviders  Locate the document in its SAP Library structure

Definition

You can flag an InfoObject of type characteristic as an InfoProvider if it has attributes. In the InfoObject maintenance on the Master Data/Texts tab page, you set the With Master Data indicator .

The data is then loaded into the master data tables using the transformation rules.

Use

You can define transformation rules for the characteristic and use them to load attributes and texts. It is not yet possible to use transformation rules to load hierarchies.

You can also define queries for the characteristic (more exactly: for the master data of the characteristic) and then report using the master data.

In InfoObject maintenance, you can also select two-level navigation attributes (the navigation attributes for the navigation attributes of the characteristic) for this characteristic on the Attributes tab page. Select Navigation Attribute InfoProvider. A dialog box appears in which you can set indicators for individual navigation attributes. These are then available like normal characteristics in the query definition.

Integration

If you want to use a characteristic as an InfoProvider, you have to assign an InfoArea to the characteristic. The characteristic is subsequently displayed in the InfoProvider tree in the Data Warehousing Workbench.
