• Key Concepts: 
  SuperProvider is a component of SAP Business Information Warehouse (BW) that allows users to access data from multiple sources in a single query. It combines data from multiple InfoProviders, such as InfoCubes, MultiProviders, and InfoObjects, into a single virtual InfoProvider. This allows users to access data from multiple sources in one query, making it easier to analyze and report on data. 
  
  How to use it: 
  To use SuperProvider, users must first create a SuperProvider in the BW system. This can be done by selecting the “Create SuperProvider” option in the BW menu. Once the SuperProvider is created, users can add InfoProviders to it by selecting the “Add InfoProviders” option in the BW menu. Once all of the desired InfoProviders have been added, users can then execute queries against the SuperProvider. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When creating a SuperProvider, it is important to ensure that all of the InfoProviders that are being added are compatible with each other. This will ensure that queries against the SuperProvider will return accurate results. Additionally, it is important to note that SuperProviders are not persistent and must be recreated each time they are needed.
