Is there a reporting procedure for MultiCubes?

Learn reporting best practices for Operational Data Stores (ODS), InfoCubes, and MultiCubes from SAP BW and BW reporting expert Peter Scott.

Traxion Consulting, Inc.

What is the procedure for reporting on MultiCubes?

The reporting procedure isn't any different, at least not from the perspective of an InfoProvider. Operational Data Stores (ODS), InfoCubes, and MultiCubes can all be accessed from the Query Designer. From a back-end perspective it is quite easy to link two or more existing cubes into a MultiCube definition.
