InfoCubes are stored in structures in SAP BW. For saving InfoCubes, you can use existing
folders or you can create new ones. This is quite similar to data storage on your PC. In SAP
BW, these folders are called InfoAreas.

the Business Explorer (BEx). InfoProvider are report-relevant objects or views and contain
