CompositeProvider - Overview
• The CompositeProvider is a new InfoProvider type
introduced with SAP NetWeaver BW 7.30 to join data in BW.
• Operations are executed in SAP HANA and not the application server
• It offers the possibility to combine InfoProvider via different join types:*
*An INNER JOIN is always faster – but this kind of referential integrity may not always be given. If the performance
degeneration due to the
OUTER JOIN is too big, it might be worth the effort to model referential integrity during staging.

CompositeProvider - Use Cases
1. BW Workspaces combine central BW data with uploaded local data
via Workspace Designer.
2. Rapid-Prototype Models combine AnalyticIndexes (created in APD or published SAP HANA Models).
This is done in the transaction RSLIMO.
3. JOINs between InfoProvider (this Session) BW InfoProvider can be combined using the JOIN operation
This is done in transaction RSLIMOBW.
