Open Hub Service (SAP Library - Data Warehousing)

Open Hub Service

Use

The open hub service allows you to broadcast data from a BI system to non-SAP data marts, analytical applications, and other applications. It allows you to ensure controlled broadcasting across several systems. The central object for the data export is the InfoSpoke. You use this to define the object from which the data is taken and into which target it is transferred.

With the open hub service, the BI system is the hub of an enterprise data warehouse. Central monitoring of the distribution status in the BI system makes the broadcasting of data transparent.

Note

With Release SAP NetWeaver 2004s SPS 6, the open hub destination has its own maintenance interface and can be connected to the data transfer process as an independent object. You can still create InfoSpokes but we recommend that you use the new concept.

For more information, see Open Hub Destination.
