INFOOBJECTS

Business evaluation objects are known in BI as InfoObjects. They are

divided into
characteristics (for example, customers),
units (for example, currency or amount unit), time
characteristics (for example, fiscal year), and technical characteristics (for
example, request number).
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------INFOCUBES
are the central multidimensional data model in BI. Reports and
analyses are based on InfoCubes. An InfoCube describes a self-enclosed data set
encompassing one or more related business processes. A reporting user can define
or execute queries against an InfoCube.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------AGGREGATES
An Aggregate is a summarized view of the data in a InfoCube. In an Aggregate,
the data set of a InfoCube is stored redundantly and persistently in its own
InfoCube like structure on the database. An Aggregate on an InfoCube is similar
to indexes on a database table. Although technically very different, they both
improve system performance without the need for user intervention. The only way
a user would know that an aggregate was built for a InfoCube they were querying
would be by noticing that the query ran faster. Aggregates can be created only f
or
InfoCubes (not VirtualCubes or DataStore objects). Aggregates can be formed on
InfoCubes by selecting specific objects connected to the InfoCube, such as:
