Hi Dallyanusha,

The characteristic InfoProvider (0TCTIFPROV) refers to the technical name

of an InfoProvider. In BI, queries can be created on an InfoProvider or an

InfoProvider can be used for reporting.

An InfoProvider is generic term for all the DataTargets and Virtual Providers

(VirtualProvider or MultiProvider). An InfoProvider may or may not contain data.

Infocube is type of an infoprovider

An InfoCube describes (from an analysis point of view) a self-contained dataset,

for example, for a business-orientated area. You analyze this dataset in a BEx query.

An InfoCube is a set of relational tables arranged according to the star schema:

A large fact table in the middle surrounded by several dimension tables.

InfoCubes are filled with data from one or more InfoSources or other InfoProviders.

They are available as InfoProviders for analysis and reporting purposes.

The data is stored physically in an InfoCube
