Explanation

In SAP BW/4HANA, InfoObject Characteristics (A), BW Queries (B), and CompositeProviders (D) all automatically generate external SAP HANA views (exposed in the _SYS_BIC schema), making them consumable by HANA-native tools like SAP Analytics Cloud and HANA Studio. InfoObject Characteristics generate attribute views for master data, BW Queries generate calculation views for analytical consumption, and CompositeProviders generate calculation views that represent their combined data model.

Open ODS Views (C) are virtual access layers over raw data sources - they do not persist data or automatically generate a dedicated external HANA view; they act as a flexible mapping abstraction rather than a published object. Open Hub Destinations (E) serve a purely extractive purpose (pushing data out to target systems) and have no role in generating external HANA views.

Memory tip: Think "ABD = Always Being Discovered" - these three objects actively publish themselves to HANA for external discovery, while Open ODS Views stay "virtual/hidden" and Open Hub Destinations only push data out rather than expose a view.
