MultiProvider - Details


  • Key Concepts: A MultiProvider is a type of InfoProvider in SAP Business Information Warehouse (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 compare data from different sources.
