Part 2: Implementing SAP BW
This section covers the nuts, bolts, and plumbing needed to implement SAP BW.
Chapter 5 describes the structure of the SAP BW implementation team and SAP BW ASAP methodology. It then identifies technical infrastructure requirements, such as sizing, to implement a data warehouse using SAP BW.
Chapter 6 describes the SAP BW server and client installation process. This chapter is slightly technical in nature, and readers are assumed to have some understanding of the SAP administration technology BASIS.
Chapter 7 is an important one. You must read and understand this chapter to learn what it takes to build analytical applications in SAP BW. Here you learn the development environment in SAP BW, called the Administrator Workbench. This chapter describes how you define data sources, master data, transaction data, and all the objects and procedures necessary to construct InfoCubes in SAP BW from within the Administrator Workbench.
Chapter 8 describes how information flows in SAP BW. Here you learn how SAP BW manages metadata and associated business content in SAP BW and SAP R/3 for change capture. This chapter describes how to install SAP BW business content and activate data objects to build analytical applications.
Chapter 9 focuses on SAP R/3 as a data source for SAP BW. Because you need to interact with the SAP R/3 OLTP instance, a careful analysis of data objects and planning is critical to move such large data volumes efficiently in SAP BW. Here you learn SAP BW data load strategies using IDOC and Transactional RFCs (TRFCs) methods.
Chapter 10 describes the steps to take to load data in SAP BW from flat data files.
Chapter 11 describes how to define queries against SAP BW and build simple to complex analytical applications and solutions. You learn simple tips and tricks on customizing SAP BW queries and reports.
