Introduction:
Definition:
Infoset is described as a specific kind of InfoProvider which do not store data physically.Infoset collects data
from the tables of InfoProviders used to build it.InfoSet describes data sources that are defined as a rule of
join on DataStore objects, standard InfoCubes and/or InfoObjects (characteristics with master data).
Note: A join can contain objects of the same object type, or objects of different object types. We can include individual
objects in a join condition as many times as we want. Default join condition is inner join, we can also use left outer
join by right clicking on choosing left outer join from the context menu.
Requirement:
Some times we come across the scenarios where we have to build a report on two/more different data
targets.In this cases we can use Infosets which joins two/more data targets,and we can bulid Query on
Infoset,which gets data from tables of Infoproviders used to build it(Infoset).
Now we will create an Infoset on both custom DSO and InfoObjects (characteristics with master
data).Prerequisites to create Infoset is at least two data targets should be ready.
The following are the steps to be followed to create Infoset.
1) Creating InfoObject (Characteristics with master data).
2) Creating a DSO.
3) Creating an Infoset using the above InfoObject and DSO.
4) Creating a Query using this Infoset.
Step 1: Creating InfoObject (Characteristics with master data)

Goto transaction RSA1 and select Infoarea and choose InfoObject catalog, right click on it and choose
Create InfoObject from context menu.

Create DTP.
Give the data source name and source system name.

target for Infoset.
Join the InfoObjects (fields) of two targets i.e. DSO & InfoObject.
