What are the 6 key messages to remember about NLS?
NLS fills the gap between online storage and offline storage with its data residing neither in the BI data base nor in a classic archive system. NLS data can be accessed directly for analyses and data load purposes (BI Queries, DTP’s, Reload Feature). NLS handling is provided for InfoCubes and DataStore Objects and processed using Data Archiving Processes (DAP). NLS storage and Online Storage together consistently reflect the BI data persistency of an InfoProvider. NLS data is read-only. NLS partitioned portions of an InfoProvider are write-protected.
