Scenario for Using DataStore Objects for Direct Update

The following graphic shows a typical operational scenario for for DataStore Objects for direct update:

DataStore objects for direct update ensure that the data is available quickly. The data from this kind of DataStore object is accessed transactionally. The data is written to the DataStore object (possibly by several users at the same time) and reread as soon as possible.

It is not a replacement for the standard DataStore object. It is an additional function that can be used in special application contexts.

The DataStore object for direct update consists of a table for active data only. It retrieves its data from external systems via fill or delete APIs. See DataStore Data and External Applications.

The loading process is not supported by the BW system. The advantage to the way it is structured is that it is easy to access data. Data is made available for analysis and reporting immediately after it is loaded.
