Glue InfoProviders can be used in SAP BW analytics with external storage data access such as Hadoop. They can be used as standard SAP BW InfoProviders, with the advantage, that it is not required to replicate the Hadoop data into SAP, but the data can be virtualized instead.

Note

In case InfoArea is not specified, InfoProvider is created in the"Unassigned Nodes" category.

Please note, that this may be required behavior, e.g. when transferring InfoProviders to another system using /wiki/spaces/GLUE/pages/3231416353Glue Transport Management System. 

3. Save the InfoProvider.

...

Be aware that some data might be lost due to a conversion of types, i.e. if you choose InfoObject of type char(5) for field type of char(10), values stored in a field will be truncated to length 5.
