Note Note

As of SAP NetWeaver 7.0 SPS 6, the new Open Hub Destination object replaces the InfoSpoke that was previously used for the open hub service. You can still use existing InfoSpokes; however, we recommend that you do not create any new InfoSpokes, but use the new open hub destination concept instead.

More information: Distributing Data from the BW System

End of the note.

The open hub service 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 InfoSpoke defines from which object data is taken and into which target it is transferred.

With the open hub service, the BW system is now the hub of an enterprise data warehouse. The distribution of data becomes clear through central monitoring from the distribution status in the BW system.

Features

BW objects such as InfoCubes, DataStore objects, or InfoObjects (attributes or texts) can function as open hub data sources. Note that DataSources may not be used as the source.

You can select database tables or flat files as open hub destinations. Both a full mode and a delta mode are available as extraction modes.
