A Remote Cube is an INFO Cube whose DATA is not managed in the BW but externally. Only the structure of the Remote Cube is defined in BW. The data is READ for reporting using a BAPI from another system.

With a Remote Cube, we can report using data in external systems without having to physically store transaction data in BW. We can, for example, include an external system from market data providers using a Remote Cube.

This is best USED only for small volume of data and when LESS users access the query.
