Question - Explain the significance of ODS(Operational Data Store) in BIW(Business Warehouse Information).
Answer -
An ODS(Operational Data Store) Object supports consolidated and debugged transaction data storage on a document level. It defines a combined dataset from single or multiple InfoSources. Analysis of this dataset can be done with an InfoSet Query or BEx Query. We can update the ODS Object data with a delta update into InfoCubes and other ODS Objects that belongs to the same system or across other systems. The data in ODS Objects will be stored in transparent, flat database tables.
