In SAP BW/4HANA, which data storage option supports real-time reporting?

The Advanced DataStore Object (ADSO) is indeed the correct option for supporting real-time reporting in SAP BW/4HANA. ADSOs are designed to facilitate both transactional and analytical data models, which enhances their ability to support real-time analysis. They leverage the in-memory capabilities of HANA to provide fast access to data, enabling users to perform reporting and analytics without the delays commonly associated with traditional data warehousing approaches.

ADSO supports multiple data loading methods, including real-time data replication, allowing for immediate availability of data for reporting purposes. This capacity to handle real-time data significantly enhances business decision-making, as users are able to work with the most current data available.

In contrast, the other options do not provide the same level of support for real-time reporting. InfoObjects serve primarily as data structures used in data modeling, while CompositeProviders and Open ODS Views are more focused on data integration and visualization rather than direct real-time data handling. Thus, their capabilities do not match the efficiency and immediacy offered by Advanced DataStore Objects in the context of real-time reporting.
