Why each option
Web Intelligence variables are stored at the document level, meaning they are embedded within the report document and are not accessible outside of it.
A cell may display the result of a variable, but the variable definition itself is not stored inside a single cell.
A variable in Web Intelligence is a named formula that is saved as part of the document itself, making it available to any block or cell within that document. Because variables are document-scoped, they do not persist in external repositories like the CMS or a metadata store. This design means variables must be recreated or imported if the same logic is needed in a different document.
There is no 'Metadata Cube' storage location for Web Intelligence variables - this is not a component of the BI platform architecture for document objects.
The Central Management Server stores repository objects such as universes and scheduled instances, not report-level variables that are local to a document.
