What are SAP BW/4HANA Transitive Attributes? Please choose the correct answer.

Question

Options

• AThe new name for InfoObject display attributes
• BAttributes of existing InfoObject attributes
• CA new type of InfoObject attributes to manage comments on certain attribute values
• DA new type of InfoObject attributes which are populated from SAP HANA Calculation Views

• A
  5% (2)
• B
  92% (36)
• D
  3% (1)

Explanation

Option B is correct because "transitive" in this context means the attribute relationship traverses a chain: if InfoObject A has InfoObject B as an attribute, and InfoObject B has its own attributes (C, D), then those downstream attributes (C, D) are the transitive attributes of A - attributes of existing attributes.

Why the distractors are wrong:

• A is incorrect because display attributes are an existing, separate concept in BW InfoObjects (used for reporting display only, not navigation) - transitive attributes are not a renaming of them.
• C is incorrect because no such "comment management" attribute type exists in BW/4HANA; this is a fabricated concept.
• D is incorrect because while BW/4HANA does integrate with HANA Calculation Views (via CompositeProviders or Virtual InfoProviders), that integration is unrelated to how transitive attributes are defined or populated.

Memory tip: Think of "transitive" the way it works in grammar or logic - A relates to C through B. Transitive attributes let you "hop through" one InfoObject to reach the attributes of its attributes, just like a transitive relation passes through an intermediary.
