• Key Concepts: 
  A CompositeProvider is a type of data provider in SAP BW that combines data from multiple InfoProviders into one virtual InfoProvider. It allows users to access data from multiple sources in a single query, making it easier to analyze and report on data from multiple sources. 
  
  How to use it: 
  To use a CompositeProvider, you must first create the InfoProviders that will be used as the source of the data. Once the InfoProviders have been created, you can create a CompositeProvider by selecting the InfoProviders that you want to combine. You can then use the CompositeProvider in queries and reports just like any other InfoProvider. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When creating a CompositeProvider, make sure to select the correct InfoProviders that you want to combine. Also, make sure that the data types of the InfoProviders are compatible with each other so that they can be combined correctly.
