Hi Benjamin,
yes, InfoCubes might be still useful and have some advantages if some of the following point are relevant:
- WHM integration: a planning enabled DSO is a 'direct write' DSO, i.e. one cannot use WHM methods to load data; an InfoCube has full WHM integration
- an InfoCube can have audit dimensions, a DSO not
In addition InfoCubes are build around 'delta' delta records, i.e. InfoCubes are insert only, delta records are saved, OLAP cache can get delta updates; one has the technical infrastructure of requests.
A DSO has a key, this means one can only write records will all key fields known (insert, update, delete); this is more time consuming.
Regards,
Gregor
