Ctin...next page...
UNIT 1: Hybrid provider
UNIT 2: New monitors in BW Administration cockpit
UNIT 3: Generic delta functionalities for further types of Data Sources
UNIT 4: Hierarchies

Integration of hierarchies into process flow (DTP, Transformation)

Remote hierarchies for direct access to hierarchies in the source system

Loading hierarchies from flat file using the new Data Source and Transformation technology

UNIT 5: Data Transfer Process (DTP)

Data Transfer Process supports data extraction from Multi Providers

Option to only load the last request from a given source (available for full load DTPs)

Data Transfer Process supports referential integrity checks tor navigational attributes of the
target

Enhanced load performance by possibility to Re-package small data packages within a request
to bigger packages

UNIT 6: Open Hub Service

SAP Net Weaver BW data can be exported in XML format

Possibility to change the format and length of BW data for export even into a non-SAP specific
format

Hierarchy extraction supported by Open Hub

UNIT 7: Transformation

Semantic grouping possible in Transformations (in addition to semantic grouping in DTPs)

Possibility to select the Info Objects (fields) the user wants to use in a Start- / End routine

Currency and unit conversion for Data Store object and Info Source as target of a
Transformation.

Navigation attributes of Info Cubes/Data Store objects can be used as source fields in the
Transformation and as filter/select options in the DTP

Automated generation of a proposal by mapping fields of the Data Source to Info Objects

UNIT 8: SAP BODS (New ETL Tool of SAP) Integration SAP BW point of view.
