In SAP BW, when we refer to mixed modeling, what do we mean?

Mixed modeling in SAP BW refers to the integration of various modeling techniques and data sources to enhance analytical capabilities. The correct choice emphasizes the combination of SAP HANA optimized BW objects, such as Advanced Data Store Objects (ADSOs) and Open Operational Data Store (OpenODS) views, with SAP HANA Calculation views. This approach allows users to leverage the advanced processing power and in-memory capabilities of SAP HANA while still utilizing the optimized data structures provided by BW.

The integration of these models enables businesses to create more complex analytics and reports that capitalize on both the data management strengths of BW and the computational advantages of HANA. This synergy leads to improved performance and enables the handling of larger data volumes with enhanced query capabilities.

Other approaches, such as integrating classic BW models with SAP HANA Calculation views or mixing BW on non-HANA databases with HANA optimized models, while valid in different contexts, do not capture the essence of the concept of mixed modeling in the context of the current question as accurately as the correct answer.
