What is InfoSets in SAP BI 7.0 ?

Definition
Description of a specific kind of InfoProvider: InfoSet describes data sources that are defined as a rule as joins of DataStore objects, standard InfoCubes  and/or InfoObjects(characteristics with master data). A time-dependent join or temporal join is a join that contains an InfoObject that is a time-dependent characteristic.
An InfoSet is a semantic layer over the data sources.
Unlike the classic InfoSet, an InfoSet is a BI-specific view of data.
For more information see the following documentation: InfoProvidersClassic InfoSets.

What is InfoSets in SAP BI 7.0 ?

Use
With activated InfoSets you can define queries in the BI suite.
InfoSets allow you to report on several InfoProviders by using combinations of master data-bearing characteristics, InfoCubes and DataStore objects. The information is collected from the tables of the relevant InfoProviders. When an InfoSet is made up of several characteristics, you are able to map transitive attributes and report on this master data.

You create an InfoSet using the characteristics Business Partner (0BPARTNER) – Vendor (0VENDOR) – Business Name (0DBBUSNAME), and can then use the master data for reporting.
You can create time runs with an InfoSet by means of a temporal join (for this, see Temporal Joins). With all other types of BI object, the data is determined for the query key date, but with a temporal join in an InfoSet, you can specify a particular point in time at which you want the data to be evaluated. The key date of the query is not taken into consideration in the InfoSet.
Structure
You can include every DataStore object, every InfoCube and every InfoObject of the type Characteristic with Master Data in a join. A join can contain objects of the same object type, or objects of different object types. The individual objects can appear in a join any number of times. Join conditions connect the objects in a join to one another (equal join-condition). A join condition determines the combination of records from the individual objects that are included in the resulting set.
