Distributing Data from the BW System
The open hub destination allows you to distribute data from a BW system to non-SAP data marts, analytical applications, and other applications. It allows you to ensure controlled distribution across several systems.
The open hub destination defines the target to which the data is relayed.
Any objects supported by the data transfer process can be used as open hub data sources.
The following figure outlines how the open hub destination is integrated into the data flow:
Database tables (in the database for the BW system and SAP HANA DB) and flat files can be used as open hub destinations. You can extract the data from a database to downstream systems using APIs, SAP Data Services or a third-party tool.
You have already loaded data into an InfoProvider or DataSource.
