Answer 1

<b>Standard ODS Object</b>
This object comprises of three tables (activation queue, table with active data, change log). It is completely integrated in staging process. In other words, data can be loaded into and out of the staging process.Using change log means all changes are also written and are available as a delta uploads for connected data targets. You can use these ODS objects directly in reporting if you wish.
<b>Transactional ODS Object</b>
An ODS object of this type only has the table with active data. This automatically means that it cannot be integrated in the staging process, since both the entry table (Activation queue) and the output table for conencted data targets (change log) are used. This ODS object type is filled using API's and can be read via a BAPI.
Transactional ODS objects are not automatically available for reporting. If you want to use them for reporting, ou need to define an infoset for them. Queries can then be based on these Infosets.
To Summarize
- Data storage for external applications, such as SAP SEM
- Direct update using APIs - no loading process
- Data available directly
- No change log - no data update for connected data targets
- Reporting only using infosets.
<b>Transactional Cube:</b> These infocubes are optimized to write data from SEM-BPS. You can store plan data using Transactional InfoCube.
