Data Orchestration Workbench 

What is the Data Orchestration Workbench

This is an ABAP-based development tool that allows you to model a data object, define distribution models and so on. In other words, the tool allows you to define all the metadata required to stage data in the NetWeaver AS and distribute this data to various receivers. This tool is available in the NetWeaver AS and is a part of the design time component of the Data Orchestration Engine (DOE).

The metadata that you create in the  Data Orchestration Workbench primarily comprises the data model, distribution model, back-end adapter, and flow definition. The data object represents the data model that allows you to stage data in the NetWeaver AS. To distribute this data, you must define a distribution model for the data object. In addition, if integration with the back-end systems is required, you must define a back-end adapter for the data object. A flow definition specifies the services to be called by the DOE to process a data object. You can find information on these metadata in the Concepts section of this guide.

Features of the Data Orchestration Workbench

With the Data Orchestration Workbench, you can:

...

       1.      Create software component versions (SWCVs)

An SWCV is a shipment unit for design time objects in the DOE repository.

       2.      Define data objects

       3.      Define distribution models

       4.      Create back-end adapters

BAPI wrappers are a type of back-end adapters, which is supported by the DOE.

       5.      Define Data Store and Runtime Services.

This allows you to define the meta model based on which the segment structure, data object message structure, segment table types, and segment tables are generated. When you generate a data object:

¡        Templates are called to generate the runtime message structure.

¡        Service generators are called to generate the various runtime services, such as data staging, replication and realignment, extract, and so on.

       6.      Import SyncBOs

In addition to modeling a new data object, this tool also allows you to model data objects by importing a Mobile Infrastructure (MI) SyncBO.
