Supported
Remote InfoCubes – data is physically stored on a remote system, usually R/3 (it can also be another BW system or any 3rd-party/custom system supporting the remote InfoCube BAPI)
Supported
InfoCubesContains two types of data
Key figures Characteristics
Can contain up to one fact table and 16 dimension tablesEach dimension table = max. 256 characteristicsThree dimensions are predefined by SAP
