SAP BW Browser: Navigation Tree

The navigation tree displays in the SAP BW Browser page. The navigation tree provides a hierarchical tree view of the InfoAreas, ODS objects, and InfoCubes for which you have extracted metadata. MultiCubes and remote cubes are not included in the navigation tree. Each InfoArea can consist of one or more ODS objects and InfoCubes. However, some InfoAreas can be empty. InfoCubes consist of a group of related tables. Each ODS object consists of one table.
You can expand and collapse the InfoAreas as needed to browse through the data sources that are included in the navigation tree. You can select and right-click a data source in the navigation tree to display the following options to view more information about the selected data source:
  • Display data model
  • Display tables
  • Display info objects
  • Display table metadata
  • Display table contents
When you select one of these display options, a dialog box displays more information about the selected object. For more information about these display options, see SAP BW Browser: Toolbar.
Note: Different display options are enabled depending on whether you select an ODS object or an InfoCube in the navigation tree.
