Extraction to Downstream
Systems
You can use the data mart interface and open hub destination to broadcast BI data to systems that are downstream from the SAP NetWeaver BI system.
The data mart interface can be used to extract data to further SAP NetWeaver BI systems that you loaded into a SAP NetWeaver BI system and consolidated there. InfoProviders that were already loaded with data are used as the data source.
You can also extract data from a SAP NetWeaver BI system to non-SAP data marts, analytical applications and other applications. To do so, you define an open hub destination that ensures controlled distribution across multiple systems. Database tables (of the underlying database for the BI system) and flat files can be used as open hub destinations. You can extract the data from the database to a non-SAP system with Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) using a third-party tool.
