Exchanging Data Between BW Systems via the ODP Source SystemLocate this document in the navigation structure

The Operational Data Provisioning framework allows you to make use of the ODP source system to use the same technology for a data mart scenario between BW systems as you would for providing other SAP source data for the BW system.

The sending system is referred to as the source BW, while the receiving system is referred to as the target BW. The availability of InfoProviders as the providers of the operational delta queue and of ODP context BW in the source BW system make it possible to make InfoProviders of the source BW system in the target BW system as operational data providers available for the data transfer.

The following InfoProviders are supported for the data mart scenario:

  • DataStore objects
  • InfoCubes
  • Semantically partitioned objects
  • HybridProviders
  • MultiProviders
  • InfoSets
  • InfoObjects for master data, texts and hierarchies
  • Queries as InfoProviders
Prerequisites
  • The source BW system has release SAP NetWeaver 7.4 SPS 05 or higher.
  • The target BW has one of the following releases or higher:
    • SAP NetWeaver 7.3 SPS 08 and SAP Note 1780912 Information published on SAP site
    • SAP NetWeaver 7.3 EhP1 SPS 05 and SAP Note 1780912 Information published on SAP site
    • SAP NetWeaver 7.4 SPS 05
Procedure

To set up the data mart scenario, perform the following steps in the target BW system:

  1. Create an ODP source system for the source BW system with ODP context BW.
  2. In the DataSource tree for the ODP source system, create the DataSource for the InfoProvider of the source BW system.
